"Within my term of office," he said, "I hope to see this rec- ommendation become law." Speaking at the opening of a new driver examination centre, Mr. Rowntree said a pilot scheme is under way in which nursery school children receive traffic safety instruction. Mr. Rowntree said that an ex- amination of drivers would not necessarily be a full re - test, visible when "I am up fo some deviltry". --CP Wirephoto Labor Gets Into Political OTTAWA (CP) -- Organized; labor next week moves directly|affiliated with the New Party.

H. Clark Thursday ordered an all- out effort by his 17 district of- fices to enforce traffic regula- tions to stop "the rising slaugh- ter on the highways." In a special directive, he re quested all available men and equipment be mobilized fo a more intensive campaign to curb traffic accidents and put highway lawbreakers on trial. The drive begins today. The commissioner said: "that hard core of motorists who per- sist in violating traffic laws and endangering lives must be edu- cated. It appears that the only way to impress them is by lay- ing charges and that is what we intend to do." Attorney-General Roberts an- nounced Friday he would urge he Ontario government to in- crease the 1,824-man provincial police force by 200-300 men in an attempt to reduce traffic ac- cidents. During the first six "but a test to reassure that a person is entitled to drive." "Theoretically, you now can get a permit if you're blind or have one leg, if you lie. The re- examination might involve an eye test, or a driver might be ecked up on his knowledge of the rules of the road." Expiry of licences on driver's birthdays would stagger the work of inspectors over a year. Mr. Rowntree told the gather- ing, which included Premier Frost, that safety instructions were begun two weeks ago in nursery schools as a pilot proj- ect. Tests to determine the mechanical fitness of vehicles are also being tried. DEATHS HIGHER Mr. Rowntree's forecast coin- cided with the release of statis- tics that showed Ontario traffic deaths, in the first six months of 1961, nearly reached the rec- ord of 531 in 1957. Attorney - General Kelso Ro- berts announced that 330 died on provincial highways and E. J. M. Hughes, director of ve- hicle accident statistics, said the total, including municipal- ities, was 523. This is 28 per cent more than the 408 killed a year ago. In- totalled a record 15,832, almost eight per cent higher than last year's 14,672. WALLACEBURG (CP)--One- way traffic patterns are becom- ing established throughout On- tario, Highways Minister Cass said Thursday at the opening of Wallaceburg's new bridge over the north branch of the Syden- ham River. "The driving public has ac- cepted them, and must accept them, because they are the only way the volume of traffic we must cope with can be handled," the Minister said. The $1,250,000 bridge was named after Thomson B. Dun- das, a former mayor. Mr. Cass said Southwestern Ontario communities can expect some share of the industrial and commercial bonanza that has followed Highway 401 across On- tario. "Everywhere Highway 401 has gone, it has changed the habits of the people and their indus- trial and commercial outlook." Travel and Publicity Minister Cathcart complained that devel opment of the tourist trade is hampered by a lack of know- ledge in communities of their own attractions, and their inabil- juries for the first six months ity to explain them for tourists. INTERPRETING THE NEWS Berlin History Points To Talk by JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer The history of East-West re- lations on Berlin since the Sec- ond World War points toward possibilities of negotiation des- pite the apparently polar posi- tions of President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev.

Three years ago, the CLC convention at Winnipeg called for a political re-align- ment embracing the CCF, labor, farmers, pr of e s sional groups and "liberally-minded" people. That initial step will reach its elimax Monday when some 700 trade unionists join 1,100 other delegates here for the week-long rally that will produce a party leader and a party platform. Once the New Party is formed, the central labor con- gress will step back from its key role with the CCF and New Party clubs in guiding the party to its formal birth. phasized that the CLC should be New Party. The link between labor and the New Party lies with indivi- dual unions and their locals. So far, there has been no official report on how many union mem- bers have voted to affiliate with the new party through their un- ion. Labor's role in Canadian pol- itics goes back at least as far as 1874 when Daniel O'Donog hue, a printer, was elected to the Ontario legislature. In 1900, Arthur Puttee was elected the first Labor member of the House of Commons. In modern times, labor devel- oped two routes of access to the political arena--via annual rep- resentations to the government in power and by working through the CCF itself. In 1943, the Canadian Con- gress of Labor, one of two cen- tral labor bodies that merged into the CLC five years ago, en- dorsed the CCF as labor's polit- ical arm. WEATHER FORECA ST Hot And Cloudy Get tough. Get tough with themselves, | their children, and the television industry, Ribicoff told parents. The secretary, testifying be- fore a Senate subcommittee on juvenile deliquency, also urged more research into the effects of television programs on young people. Ribicoff said long - term re- search should be financed by both public and private funds. He said it was impossible to assert with certainty 'that a bad program causes a child to do bad things, or that a good program guides him toward bet- ter things." "We do know . . . that the programs our boys and girls are watching could be better-- a lot better." Senator Thomas J. Dodd (Dem. Conn.), the subcommit- tee chairman, said telecasters have made a mockery of indus- try codes and standards 'by programming a diet of murder, extortion, eccentric sex, and subhuman brutality."

Road Crackdown During Weekend LONDON Ont. (CP) -- A pro- vincial police crackdown on motoring offences has been or- dered for the coming weekend in an attempt to reduce a spir- alling toll of death and injury on western Ontario highways. All available provincial police staff in Middlesex, Lambton, Oxford and Elgin counties have been ordered to highway duty. During the first six months of the year 36 road deaths have been recorded in the provincial police's District 2, comprising most of western Ontario. This is an Increase of 11 deaths over last year. Cruel To Animals Kingston Charge KINGSTON '(CP)--A charge of cruelty to animals was lodged gins in 1945 when Hitler's em- pire collapsed and Germany was divided into four zones. Berlin--well within the Soviet Zone -- also was divided into four sectors, with the United States, Britain and France guaranteed entry into their re- spective zones through 100 miles of Soviet-supervised territory. The big four, meanwhile, had undertaken at Potsdame to sign eventually a peace agreement|' with a reunited Germany. TRIES BLOCKADE Chapter II of the chronology opens in the spring of 1948 when the Soviet Union threw a block- ade around Berlin in the hope of forcing the Western powers out of the city. The Russians abandoned the blockade after a year, foiled by the famed Ber- lin airlift. Chapter IIT begins in May, 1949, when the Western powers merged their zones and the West German Federal Republic was created. Five months later the Russians established the German Democratic Republic-- East Germany--in their zone, which surrounds Berlin.

The first, startling paragraphs were written Nov. 10, 1058, by Soviet Premier Khrushchev when he demanded an end to the four - power occupation of Berlin. The millions of words added since then have seen Khrush- chev tightening the screw on Berlin. ANOTHER DEADLINE Khrushchev has demanded a "solution" of the Berlin situa- tion by the end of this year-- but it is noted that he once be- fore dropped such a deadline, which he had set for May, 1959. Khrushchev has proposed the "immediate conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany," the establishment of West Ber- lin as a "demilitarized free the rights of the Western allies in Berlin. He has suggested that if the Western countries did not wish to sign a single peace treaty, two treaties with the divided country would be acceptable to him. Khrushchev does not now in- sist on the diplomatic recogni- tion of East Germany, but he contends that East Berlin is part of East Germany--a point sharply contested by Western countries. The West maintains there can be no meaningful peace until-- as the original agreements stated--Germany achieves self- determination through a vote of all its people. But it is clear Khrushchev would have to menace the city of Berlin itself before the danger of war would arise. The West has indicated it would not fight if the Russians merely signed a separate peace treaty with East Germany or turned over to East Germany responsibilities for ac- of Chapter V--still unfinished-- a Kingston shopping centre a| For Drowning SOUTHAMPTON (CP) week ago.

Girl To Face Kidnap Charge BUFFALO (AP)--Chyrel Lee Jolls, 15, was ordered held Thursday for grand jury action on a kidnapping charge as her win a dismissal on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Judge William Regan ruled after a hearing for the school girl that there was enough ev- idence to warrant a grand jury study. Chyrel Lee, charged with kid napping Richard Edgington, 5 last June 22, also has admitted kidnapping Andrew Ashley, 3, June 23, according to police Commissioner Frank Felicetta. But the commissioner says she has denied drowning the younger boy, whose body was found in Delaware Park Lake June 25.
