The board stipulated that a train suitable for commuters must be provided Monday to Friday, leaving Toronto about 5:35 p.m. EST for Markham. The judgment, signed by transport commissioners John M.

ORKERS SIGNED ' Meeting Today By RAE HOPKINS United Automobile Workers, CLC, and General Motors of Canada Ltd. officials signed aj} new three-year agreement early! today, covering more than 16,000 workers in five Ontario plants. Striking employees in the five Ontario municipalities are ex- the agree- today. Ratification will likely mean a return to work this week at all five plants, end- ing the shortest official strike in GM's history. A ratification meeting will be held at Kinsmen Memorial Civic ~| Stadium at 3 p.m. today. Secret ballots will be taken at the meeting and will be counted to- night, Local 222 election com- mittee chairman, G. J. "Tony" Freeman said. Ballot boxes, he said, will re- main open until all strikers have had the opportunity to vote. Leonard Woodcock, Inter- national UAW vice - president and George Burt, the UAW's Canadian regional director, will attend the stadium meeting. Because of the ratification meeting, the Duplate Unit meet- ing has been postponed until further notice, Jack Meagher, first vice 13,000 - member local said.

During the adjournment, both parties worked on counter pro- posals to submit at the master agreement bargaining tables. Most local issues had been re- solved before strike deadline Sunday. Negotiators on both sides found it difficult to explain why a strike was necessary. | Both sides agreed the settle- |ment was produced by juggling of benefits in the light of dif- jferent government. welfare schemes in operation in Canada and the United States. In the jend, the agreement will cost the {company substantially the same amount involved in a GM offer made last week. A beaming George Burt, Ca- jnadian director of the UAW, saw the agreement as "essenti- ally along the lines of what we suggested weeks ago." He ap- jpeared confident ratification would be only a formality. The settlement will produce relatively little change in the workers' take-home pay, now a basic $2.69 an hour.

'I will stake my personal and political career on the outcome of the royal commission." His statement was touched off by Ross Whicher (L -- Bruce), who told. government members they had appointed Mr. Justice W. D. Roach to study allega- tions of organized crime and police incompetence only "to save your skins and your polit- ical hides." 'NAILED TO WALL' "The government is going to have to do a tot more than that to save the hide of the attorney- CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 | general," Mr. Whicher "because his hide nailed to the wall." Mr. Whicher's attack came as the House debated second read ing of a bill to establish an On- tario police commission, Liberal members claimed the police commission's work would clash with that of the royal com- mission on crime. The bill re- ceived second reading -- ap- proval in principle--by a vote of 45 to 14 in a Liberal-forced division Mr. Roberts, in the rapid-fire debate, pointed towards Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer and said: The only reason we're having a royal commission is because .of the, charges of the leader of the Opposition." Mr. Wintermeyer, obviously happy to take credit for prompt- ing the investigation with his Nov, 29 speech alleging wide- spread and organized crime in Ontario, asked Premier Robarts whether the attorney-general's statement was accurate. Mr. Robarts replied he had promised to investigate the | charges and as a result had rec- ommended action. He said he made this clear Monday when said, is already jhe announced establishment of the royal commission. | PRESS RE PROBE Earlier, both Mr. Winterme- yer and Donald MacDonald, New Democratic Party Joadgs, pressed Mr. Robarts to indicate how thoroughly Mr. Justice Roach could dig into crime un- der the royal commission's terms of reference. Mr. Robarts said the terms of reference of the commission were intended to be as broad as, possible and hie will deal with restrictions--if there are any-- when they come up. Mr. MacDonald said a previ- ous royal commission on Nia- gara parks had found its terms were limited, and asked what would happen if Mr. Justice Roach 'says the terms aren't broad enough and seeks a broadening of them." "What a question," Mr. Ro- barts said in exasperation. "I will deal with that when the commissioner consults me." The attorney - general, who had explained the bill when it received first, reading several weeks ago, pressed for unanim- ous approval in principle. The police commission, he said, is "given the widest power to make inquiry into law en forcement," as well as powers "of direction, overseeing and leading of the Ontario Provin- cial Police force." Mr. .Wintermeyer contended that the bill setting up the po- lice commission does not make clear whether it is to be an ad- ministrative or investi gat- ory body.

It said there should be no cease-fire until minimum ob- jectives of the United Nations have been ,;eached in the Afri- can trouble spot. State Undersecretary George Ball set forth what he termed these "honest differences of opinion" at a special press con- ference on The Congo crisis. Ball is acting foreign affairs chief in the absence of State Secretary Dean Rusk who is in Paris. The British government has announced that it will ask UN acting secretary - general U Thant to seek an immediate cease-fire in the Congo's Kat anga province between UN forces there and those of seces- sionist Katangan leader Moise {South iMarie Curtis. thirds vote in the assembly for the seating of Red China at the expense of Nationalist China.

But the government got sup- port from the right-wing Daily Express and Daily Mail. The Express says Elisabeth- ville, where "more than 200 people lie wounded in hospital and a number of unknown have been killed by the bombs and mortars of the United Nations," deserves to be remembered just as much as Sharpeville, the African town where 67 negroes were shot by police last year. i The mail says Americans are "all for going into Katanga hell for leather'? but the British "stand for conciliation rather than for action which may be- devil Africa and ruin the UN."
