Jean-Paul Brazeau will be elected mayor of Lulua- bourg if he keeps glad-handing the population. Brazeau, from North Bay, Ont., and Montreal West, is the 36-year-old liaison officer with the Canadian Army signal de- tachment in this central Congo city, the decaying capital of Kasai province. He is senior officer with the 10 - man detachment, charged with maintaining communica- tions between the Ghanaian army brigade, which patrols Kasai for the United Nations, and UN headquarters at Leo- poldville. When not keeping an eye out on behalf of his detachment, however, he conducts a cam- paign that would put world brotherhood move ments to shame. LESSON IN DIPLOMACY A stroll through the down- town area of Luluabourg with Brazeau is an education in di- plomacy. Any encounter with a Congo- lese rates at least a "moyo"-- "hello" in Tshiluba, language of the native Lulua tribe--and one or two other phrases guaran- teed to bring a wide grin to the normally subdued Lulua fea- tures. Toward the growing number of Belgians returning to the city, Brazeau reserves a first. name friendship for some and a polite acquaintance for others. He turns on the full treatment Ghanaian ranks. With their of- ficers, many of them seconded from the British Army, he keeps up a close liaison. COMPETE FOR VOTES Sharing much of the friend: ship campaign is Brazeau's sec- ond-in-command, Sgt. Tom Ab- bot of Calgary. "When Tom and I walk to- gether we compete for votes," the Canadian Army signals detachment helps to create friendship and understanding with the Congolese. Sgt. Mike the captain said. "Every time we figure it's another vote. "There's a good deal of jok- ing about the totals we've got. If the captain is busy waving to one group of people, I tell him I've got the votes of a big- ger bunch he missed while his back was turned." The eight other men in the detachment handle a variety of official and unofficial jobs. Four are operators on the radio-teletype equipment which links Luluabourg and Leopold- ville: Cpl. Gerry Rafuse of Parrsboro, N.S.; Sigmn. Clar- ence Moore of Sundre, Alta.; Sigmn. Lorne Robinson of Bar- rie, Ont.; and Sigmn. Jack MacLean of Sudbury. Cpl. Ron Lefebvre of Alexan- dria, Ont.,, and Cpl. Pete Thomas of Kingston are in charge of coded messages while Sigmn. Jim MacFarlane of Smith Falls, Ont., is a mechanic and L. Cpl. Rock Collins of Ma- tane, Que., is a radio techni- cian. Several have additional du- ties. MacFarlane supervises food buying, Collins looks after such things as insect control, Robinson makes sure the Con- golese houseboys keep the quar- ters clean, and others are as- signed by Brazeau to different jobs as they arise. LIVE WELL The Canadians and one civil- ian UN employee live in a mod- ern apartment block only a stone's throw from the Ghana- pers are kept, or go to their own well-equipped mess. Leisure hours remain a prob- lem as in most detachments. Lefebvre, who worked at Ge- mena in Equator province be- fore coming here, said: "It's not as good here as it was in Gemena. A group of Belgians worked for a cotton company there and we always had oy : TORONTO (CP) -- Seventy- six years ago this month, the Eastern Canada militiamen who helped quell the Northwest re- bellion returned to their homes. Among them was G. H. Need- ler, a 19-year-old corpora! in K Company of the Queen's Own Rifles. He resumed his studies at the University of Toronto and later joined the university's German department where he remained for 45 years. After heading the department for more than a decade, Prof. Needler retired in 1936 at 70 and, released from administra- tive and classroom responsibil ities, concentrated on a new career in literature. Now he's 95, a spare, white- haired scholar who has pub- lished more than a dozen books since his "'retirement." The Riel rebellion, in which he was involved in 1885, is but one of the topics he has treated in book form. His wide interests have led to publications on such varied themes as Scottish and German poetry and pioneer life in Ontario. SHUNS CONTROVERSY Although Prof. Needler pre- fers to steer clear of present- O'Brien of Calgary stops to make friends in a small vil- lage near Luluabourg: --(CP from National Defence) we get someone to say 'Hello', friends among them to pass the time with. Here they seem to live apart and we don't see them." Brazeau and Abbott have oc- casional Belgian visitors, but with whom the men have diffi- culty finding common ground. Some free time is spent at the Ghanaian men's canteen, on sightseeing trips to nearby na- tive villages, or with table ten- nis and other activities at the quarters. Despite occasional tension, Luluabourg is regarded as one Noted Author day controversy over whether Louis Riel should have been hanged, he has touched on the subject in his book Louis Riel, published in 1957. The preface describes as "simply ludicrous the desire of a certain number of Canadians to have him viewed as a hero and martyr." A native of Millbrook, Ont., 10 miles southwest of Peter- borough, and a graduate of Port Hope high school, George Henry Needler showed an early flair for mathematics but chose modern languages at university. After graduating from U, of T., he spent four years im- proving his German at Leipzig and returned to Canada with a PhD. In the quarter-century he has been able to devote entirely to literary pursuits, he has been author, editor and translator. Some of his books developed out of lifelong interests he shared with his wife who died 10 years ago. Others came from literary material that reached him from friends. LITERARY SLEUTH In addition to Louis Riel, his Canadiana includes Colonel An- thony Van Egmond, the story of William Lyon Mackenzie's "military expert" who died in a Toronto prison soon after the abortive rebellion of 1837; Otonabee Pioneers, a history of early days in the Rice Lake- Peterborough district; and Canadian Press Staff Writer PARI§ (CP) -- A period of sharp social conflict may be in store for France. Unless something drastic hap pens soon, the grievances of low-paid workers and civil serv- ants threaten to explode in a series of strikes far more men- acing than the wave of one-day stoppages in early May. "There is too big a gap be- tween the well-off and the poor," said a postman whose monthly salary after years of service is 360 new francs, less than $70. With the Algerian war tend- ing to deaden dissent--radio and television commentators are sur- prisingly servile toward the gov- ernment -- France is like a soundproof room. The social tensions are acute, but the sounds of combat are muffled. Many groups have powerful reasons for discontent. Unskilled workers may earn as little as eight to nine francs a day, less than $2. A prosperous business- man will spend twice that much, without a tremor, on a single bottle of wine, Employees in public service are generally at a disadvantage with those in private industry. about 15 per cent, A factor that tends to *'put the workers to sleep," as the French say, is the generosity of with the workers slated for alare two faces of France, the bigger share of the ational and the new, the modern product.

LACK SHARE Cheap housing, where obtain- able, also helps, Mass produc- tion has brouzht a reasonable standard of living within the reach of many but there are still a considerable number who do not get a fair share of French prosperity. Industrial workers feel par- ticularly frustrated. With a largely Communist union lead- ership, they tend to be an iso- lated section of French society. They have considerable good- will for Gen. de Gaulle but con- sider that the French president takes them too much for granted.
