Reneging MOSCOW (AP) -- The Soviet Union accused the United States Wednesday night of disrespect- = international agreements by « Japanese claims to tap of th. Soviet-held Kurile is- lands. A statement distributed by the Soviet news (agency Tass said Washington 'is trying to fan up revanchist sentiments among Japanese circles . .. to kindle enmity in Japan toward neighbors and to raise obstacles to the development of Japan's co - operation with the U.S.S.R. and other neighbors." The Tass statement -- pub- lished as a declaration of Krem- lin policy--referred to a recent U.S. state department state- ment supporting Japanese claims to Kunashir and Iturup, the two southernmost islands of the Kurile chain. "Suffice it to mention that this question was settled by the Yalta agreement which also bears the signature of the (late) U.S. president (Franklin State department officials in Washington said Wednesday there is no international agree- ment which gives the Soviet Un- lands or South Sakhalin Island, which the Soviets occupied after the Second World War. Whitby Township Asks Road Account Audit At its bi-monthly meeting at Brooklin Whitby Township Council decided to ask the min- ister of highways to order an immediate audit of the township road accounts. This request a- rose out of allegations made at the Dec. 11 meeting. At that meeting Councillor John Dryden alleged that Roads Superintendent Merrill Ross had switched monies to the mainter> ance account from the construc- tion account. Mr. Dryden said that at a recent meeting the roads superintendent admitted that he would alter accounts to gain subsidies. CONTEMPT 0F BUDGETS Councillor Frank Thompson said that this was done in many municipalities to gain subsidies. Councillor Dryden replied that this could not be considered right and proper and that im- accounting leads to con- Kempt of budgets. If council supported this at- titude, Mr. Dryden said, they were supporting misrepresenta- tion of accounts and the wool was being pulled over the eyes of the taxpayers. Councillor Jim Brooks said that maintenance subsidies have been too low in the past and that the province was now cor- recting the situation. He also said that the council could not crucify a man for trying to get subsidies. FUNDS LACKING The council referred a letter from their representative on the Central Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Area Authority to the in- coming council. The letter was from Donald R. Wilson who is retiring from this position with the authority. Mr. Wilson said that the auth- ority was made up of well meaning people who are trying to do something constructive but are hampered by lack of funds. The municipalities do not give the authority enough money, and the last financial report Mr. Wilson saw said that the bulk of the authority's in- come went towards meeting ad- ministrative costs. The council heard Mr. Wil- son's argument that "if the municipal councils do not in- tend to place any more money at the authority's disposal I would say that they should with- draw support altogether as most of the money received by the authority in 1961 was used simp- ly to keep the thing going." "It would be a shame to for- get something as worthwhile as this," Mr. Wilson went on, "'but the authority must have enough money to do something worth- while; to justify its existence." Councillor Dryden said that it would be better if this question was referred to the 1962 council. The motion doing so was passed unanimously.

This was related Wednesday by Dr. Herman Hoerlin, an At- omic Energy Commission scien- tist. He said that even in its present stage of development, the method could spot a 100-me- gaton explosion at a distance of 28,000,000 miles and a 20-mega- ton blast at 14,000,000 miles. The technique itself had pre- viously been described but these were the first figures on its range. The method involves detection of a fluorescent glow in the earth's atmosphere produced by x-rays released by a nuclear ex- plosion high above the atmos- phere. Molecules of air are caused to' glow in much the same way a neon sign is lit up by an electric current passing through neon gas. The glow is not visible to the human eye because the tiny par- ticles of light -- "brighter than those of the brightest aurora" -- move too quickly for the eye to catch. In the detection technique, the particles of light are focused through a ground - based lens which h covers the sky from hor- izon to horizon. Behind this lens the particles of light impinge on an electronic tube which con- verts them to pulses discernible on an oscilloscope.

Talks aimed at settling a month-old strike against 10 On- tario and Quebec car-hauling firms are continuing in Toronto, but, Sydney McAfee, Local 880, International Brotherhood of Teamsters Ind., business repre- sentative, said today the com- par.ies have continued to refuse to bargain in good faith. More than 800 workers in On- taro and Quebec are affected by the strike which has sealed off car-hauling operations in the two provinces. PROPOSALS SUBMITTED Mr. McAfee, in a strike bul- Jetin told the Teamster mem- berthip its negotiating commit- tee has sent the companies "pro- posal after proposal', and to date have had no counter pro- val. "The companies' answer was thet they still refuse to nego- tiave"', Mr. McAfee said. Workers refused to report for work jast month and set up picket lines around the transport yarcs in a dispute which union leaders said, hinges around the ccmpanies' attempt to wrest contro! of the Ontario Teamsters Welfare Fund, a company set up by the unfon's rank and file membership to take charge of Teamsters' welfare benefits. According to the Local 880 Teamster Talks Are Conti e For the skilled mechanics, the union is seeking a 25-cent-an- hour increase from July 1, 1961 and five cents an hour from Jan. 1, 1963. In addition, the de- mands, include a 45-hour. guaran- teed work week and time and a half pay for working statutory holidays. Highway drivers, union de- mands include, are to be guar- anteed a 10-hour day. Regarding annual vacations, the union proposes that two weeks paid vacation be granted to workers with two years' sen- iority and that three weeks paid vacation be granted to workers with 10 years' seniority. A night premium of 10 cents an hour is also included in the wage demands. Drivers, Mr. McAfee said, have not asked for a mileage increase, in an attempt to bring the hourly-rated worker up to a living wage. Special Status For Dutch Area Now Suggested JAKARTA (AP) -- Foreign Minister Subandrio said today business repr ive, b of the companies' refusal to ne- gotiate a contract without con- sidering their health and welfare package and their pension plan, the negotiating committee agreed to present the com- panies' offer on these two pro- posals to the union membership] sug, for consideration. He said a reduced proposal on hourly rates for the yard men, dock men, the skilled and semi- skilled mechanics was forward- ed to the companies. PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS The union's proposal included pension contributions by the company of $3 for the first year of a three-year contract, $4 the second year and $5 for the third year. Under joint administra- tion, the pension would be in- stituted the first month of the third year of the contract.

All drivers and yardmen on hourly rate are to get paid holi- days, the union proposes. Wage demands in these working cate- gories include a 10-cent-an-hour increase from July 1, 1961, 10 cents an hour from the date of signing a new contract and 10 cents an hour increase from Jan. 1, 1963. Union demands for dockmen, or car checkers, include the same three increases of 10 cents an hour to become effective at the same time drivers and yardmen receive their wage in- creases.

Subandrio's statement, made in an interview, was the first gestion from an Indonesian official that West New Guinea might get some special status under the flag of President Su- karno's island republic. Sukarno has repeatedly threat- ened war against The Nether- lands unless the territory, which| the Dutch retained when they freed the rest of the Dutch East Indies in 1949, is handed over to Indonesia. Subandrio insisted that it is imperative for Indonesia to get a definite assurance from The Netherlands of its readiness to negotiaet. The Netherlands wants to give the people of New Guinea self- determination, and has received wide Western support for this plan. "We really are preparing our- selves for a military confronta- tion with the Dutch," Subandrio said. "There is no other alterna- tive left to us, and it has been imposed on us. "The Dutch have set up a puppet Papuan state (in West New Guinea) hoisted a separate Papuan flag, and made a separ. ate Papuan national anthem.

Ratepayers in Pickering Township's school area No. 12 near Claremont, forced the resignation of trustees Lloyd Pugh and Roy Wilson because of the three-man board's deci- sion to close Mount Pleasant Public School, halfway een!

Sixteen rural pupils were transported by bus to Clare- mount Public School during the fall term. REASONS FOR CLOSING The board closed Mount Pleasant school on a recom- mendation of District school Inspector J. G. McClelland. Discipline problems and a lack, of rural teachers were reasons given for the closing. Hugh Miller, a _ ratepayer, claimed that Mr. McClelland misled the school and ratepay- ers. Mr. Miller said he found there was no shortage of quali- fied teachers. Commenitng this morning, Mr. McClelland agreed there was no shortage of teachers but that there was a lack of qualified rura: teachers. The decision to close Mount Pleasant school should have been discussed at a_ public meeting, ratepayer Grenville Wilson said last night. : Several ratepayers, admitting it was cheaper. to transport their children to Claremont than operating their own school, said over-crowding would exist in the next few years at the Claremont school. Trustee Wilson said today that it was extremely unlikely that the Claremont school would become crowded with the addi- tional rural pupils.
