The labor council report said the firm, Major Holdings (Waterloo) Limited, bought some 300 acres of land in the vicinity of the university's pres- ent campus in 1957 for $283,029 and sold the 176 acres from the tract for $355,240.50. The first sale had been-in January, 1958. The report called for a "full disclosure" of who the share- holders were who benefited "from this land profiteering." Prepared by the labor coun- cil's political action committee, the report also contended that Major Holdings was in a posi- tion to get inside information on the university's expansion plans because C.

LONDON (Reuters) -- Prime} the PUC, The 59-year-old former war- den of Ontario County (in 1939) who later served three years as mayor of Oshawa (1958-60, in- clusive) prefaced today's an- nouncement with a brief state. ment released to The Oshawa Times in which he said: "During the past several months I have been approached by a great number of our citi- zens from all walks of life, and from every section of this City, to run for the office of mayor. "T may say that I am con- cerned by the collapse of in- dustrial expansion in the past two years and I feel a renewed program of industrial develop- ment should be commenced to utilize the existing serviced in- dustrial land which would result in additional employment and contribute greatly in' holding down taxes, "I would like to make it clear to all our citizens that we must get.

"This City needs new leader- ship and, if elected, I pledge myself to give this leadership to Council." STIRS EXCITEMENT The entry of Mr. Gifford, a big name in Oshawa's municipal world for more than 10 years, into the mayoralty will undoubt- edly have a double-barreled ef. fect -- not only will it rally many of his old political cohorts into line for a concentrated ef- fort to have him elected, it wilt undoubtedly give impetus and drive to the entire civic cam. paign, which has been sagging badly to date from such things as lack of public interest and the reluctance of several incum- bents to announce publicly whether or not they would run again. Mr. Gifford and Mayor Thomas have long been out. spoken political foes with wide- ly divergent opinions .on key municipal issues from industrial development to low-rent housing --it was so when each was an alderman and it became more so when Mr. Gifford assumed the Chief Magistrate's office in 1957, the climax coming in the 1960 campaign won by Mrs. Thomas when few holds were barred, when each spoke out with conviction on his or her policy, not forgetting to include UNITED NATIONS (AP)-- Some UN delegates assessed to- day new Soviet-Cuban demands, reported to include U.S. with- drawal from the base at Guan- tanamo, as a bargaining man- oeuvre in negotiations to end the Cuban crisis. "It is just another move in the chess game," said one dip- lomat. "Now the Russians will wait for the United States to |make a move." The United States was cer- tain to reject the package pre- sented to U Thant, acting sec- retary-general, Tuesday by So- viet Deputy Foreign minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov and Cuban Ambassador Carlos Lechuga. U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson was to see Thant to- day. Stevenson met for 3% hours Tuesday night with Kuznetsov and said the talk was "'con- structive." He said it "served to identify and clarify the posi- tions of both countries on the unresolved issues." Kuznetsov presumably pre- sented the new Soviet - Cuban proposal to Stevenson. The American delegate was be- lieved to have countered with the main U.S. demands--that Soviet Union withdraw its IL-28 Red Demand Said Bargaining Move jet bombers from Cuba and per- mit adequate verification that Soviet missile sites have been dismantled and all rockets and other 'offensive weapons' sent back to Russia. BASED ON CASTRO PLAN The new Soviet-Cuban propo- sal was reported based on Pre- mier Fidel Castro's five-point demand made Oct. 28 for an end to all U.S. activities against his regime and U.S. withdrawal from Guantanamo. the five points apparently were worked over by Russia's first deputy premier, Anastas I. Mikoyan, who has been in Havana since Nov. 2. Informants said the Soviet- Cuban proposal dealt mainly with U.S. withdrawal from Guantanamo and included an end to the U.S. naval blockade of arms shipments and meas- ures by the United States to prevent hostile activity against Cuba. by exiles. It also was said to call for firmer guarantees that the United states will not invade Cuba. President Kennedy made a no - invasion pledge contingent on Russia's living up to Pre- mier Khrushchev's promise. well-djrected barbs for the oppo. sition, : MAIN PLATFORM Mr. Gifford did not elaborat on the above statement but some of his more avid 'support. ers expressed the opinion today that he would conduct his 1962 campaign along the lines as suggested therein with heavy emphasis on: 1. A new, more concentrated drive for industrial expansion in Oshawa; 2. imple- mentation of "the better parts' of the recently-completed Woods Gordon Report without too much delay. Mr. Gifford is the omly entry thus far to oppose Mrs. Thomas in the upcoming race. Three oft- rumored candidates, all mem. bers of City Council, have stated emphatically that they will not seek the mayoralty. They are Albert V.
