2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, March 13, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN FINAL ACT LOOMS IN TRACKS DRAMA The lawyers are crowding on stage rapidly these days for most of the stellar roles as the final (showdown) act looms in that heart-throbbing, 30-year-old drama, What- ~ Shall - We - Do - About - The 4 King-Street-Tracks? Donald Blake Dodds has been appointed by the Osh- awa Downtown Business- men's Association as their spokesman at City Hall, April-3, before the Board of Tr rt Commissi 4 and has been requested to help in the preparation of a brief. The Oshawa C of C (after originally remaining aloof on the subject). has appoint- ed Russell Murphy as its spokesman he is also a heading a six-man Chamber " "y committee to assist with a Coie Sonne brief, all members of which are lawyers (Tom Rundle, Ron Swartz, Ralph Jones, Ernie Marks and Bruce Mackey -- one other lawyer will be ap- pointed). The Chamber is sending a circular to all downtown firms seeking their views on the tracks (Do they want them removed? Why? Would they be willing to testify?) The six-man committee was appointed at an emergency meeting Friday in the Hotel Genosha (the lobby of which looked like the annual meeting of the Ontario County Bar Association for awhile). The executive of the Chamber did wrestle with the thorny question of the tracks in 1961 and it. was obvious from meagre reports published that some of the outgoing executive shied away considerably from facing the question head-on, especially in a report from a committee that stated that the tracks were not regarded as a prime problem any longer because the railway traffic had decreased so much on them. Dr. Oscar Mills, (a member of the 1961 tracks committee appointed to meet with the three firms using them) asked last Thursday if anyone had considered asking for the re- moval of the GM tracks ("Isn't it reasonable that the three King street firms would ask this question?" he asked). This was the kind of backward thinking that confronted the Chamber directorate last Thursday. Russell Humphreys, QC, a director of the Chamber, knows possibly as much about the tricky legal technicalities involved in the case as any man, and for a good reason. He. had fought for the removal of the tracks in the old days -- he was on a five-man delegation to Ottawa in 1948 that conferred with Hon. Lionel Chevrier, then Federal trans- Rate Use OTTAWA (CP)--In his first annual report as governor of the Bank of Canada, Louis Rasmin- |sky Monday called on Canadian business to exploit the opportu- nities created by the lowered ex- change value of the Canadian dollar. This, he said, is 'clearly es- sential," And the basic requirements | were "'a well - trained energetic and adaptable working popula- \tion, dynamic bisiness leader- ship, the imaginaitve application of modern technology, good marketing practices, and per- |haps above all the determina- tion to be competitive." | | Lower Exchange Urged Fleming tabled in the Com- mons. WON'T OBJECT Mr, Fleming said the govern- ment would not object to Mr. Rasminsky appearing before the Commons banking and com- merce committee this year. If the governor does appear, it would be the 'first time since 1956 that this was done.

The 57-mile railway between Ste. Anne des Monts and Ma- tane got a clear track after an amendment proposed b, Erhart Regier (CCF -- Burnaby-Coquit- lam) was rejected 128 to 7, the Liberals voting with the govern- ment. The amendment would have delayed final approval of the bill for six months--in effect killing it. The bill's next stop is the Sen- ate. Mr. Regier charged that the) railway is being built "merely Trial Gots On In Conspiracy TORONTO (CP) -- Defence counsel were unsuccessful Mon-| day in their attempt for swift! {acquittal of three men charged |with conspiring to obtain infor- jmation from a policeman.

They were arraigned Monday on a charge of conspiring to ob- |tain from a police officer infor- mation it was his duty not to give. Feeley and McDermott face a charge of operating a common gaming house and Wright faces three charges of offering bribes totalling $1,000 to an undercover policeman. Railway Bill Put Through 'o re-elect one member"--Ro- and English (PC--Gaspe). He contended the railway will ye an economic washout and that the government has under- .aken its construction because the CNR and CPR touch the project with a 10-foot pole."' SUGGESTS INDUSTRIES If "political considerations" were the only motives prompt- ing the government to spend that amount in Gaspe, he sug- gested the money would be bet- |. ter spent in establishing 140 in- ») dustries costing $100,000 each. Although the Liberals sup- ported the bill, Lionel Chevrier (L--Montreal Laurier) said he regrets that the government "did not choose to deal with the |whole problem of transportation i n the lower St. Lawrence re- ion." Arnold Peters (CCF--Timiska- ming) suggested that only "a very small minority" of Gaspe ing the railway, Russell Keays (PC--Isles-de- 'la-Madeleine) said 250,000 tons of forest products would be transported on the line each year. This alone would be janough to justify the expendi- ture although an additional 60,- 000 to 75,000 tons of freight also could be expected to move an- nually. Timber Cutting Collusion Charge Issued | OTTAWA (CP) -- Judy La Marsh (L Niagara Falls) charged Monday night there was "obvious, bare-faced collusion" between an employee and a for- mer employee of the citizenship department in the granting of a licence to cut timber on the Tsimpsean No. 2 Reserve in British Columbia. She also told the Commons it appeared that all the people con- nected with the firm which got the licence are supporters of the Conservative party.

Today Mr. Humphreys is on the other side of the tracks "s--he is counsel for one of the three King street firms using them. He told the Chamber executive last Thursday that the firms concerned were quite resigned to the fact that the tracks must go and that the big question now was a matter of adequate compensation for them.

It was interesting to hear Mr. Humphrey's comments on a legal subject v hich he is ersed, but after all is said and done the real showdown will be on April 3. when Ahe Board sits at the City Hall -- much is being said about what the Board will or won't do, about who will appear and what they will say, but this is all premature. Little of value will be learned until the Board sits and studies the problem from all angles. R. D. WERNER DEAL SEEN NEAR What's new in the reported sale of R. D. Werner (Canada) Ltd? A spokesman for Reynolds International (the would-be buyer) said this week that the firm was "seriously interested" in the buying the Oshawa factory, that negotiations had been going on. "There's a strong possibility that these negotiations could be successfully completed by the end of the month," he added. This was the first official statement on the matter made in Canada by any R.I. official. The spokesman emphasized that this was not another ease of an American firm taking over a basic-Canadian company. The Oshawa firm has been owned by U.S. interests "since its inception," he added. "We would be buying a Canadian subsidiary of an Amer- ican firm -- there are no Canadian shareholders being bought out." R, D. Werner of New York City is the principal share- holder. The Oshawa firm makes refrigerator coils, auto grills, window frames, ladders, tubing for TV antennas and garden furniture on scaffolding. Reynolds International is the third biggest aluminum com- pany in North America -- has made some of its greatest strides in the past by buying established businesses. R.I. last December bought Canada's largest extrading organization-- Aluminum Extruders of St. Therese, Quebec, and Primco of Hull, Quebec, both owned by the Kruger organization of Montreal Reynolds International is also dickering for Chromedge (Canada) of Scarboro (a subsidiary of B.N.T. of Columbus, Ohio, which makes aluminum doors, windows and curtain walls. |It provides for the payment of| exploratory, after a lesion had) approved by the United States $17,500 annually, with the city|been discovered in Lord Avon's| fooq and Drug Administration n ' | lafter it is assured there are no foreign secretary |promising not to seek tax legis-| © jlation as long as the agreement| continues. | The city and the company)|t ! to terminate the agreement in/b any year to take effect in the! next following year. g 20 cS Win ichest during a checkup. operation it was reported that) each reserve the right, however, | Adams, had removed the mor- But at the conclusion of the| harmful side effects. he surgeon, Dr. Herbert D. id tissue.
