2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Jenusry B, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN | LET'S GET OSHAWA ROLLING WITHOUT DELAY Mayor-elect Lyman Gifford ("Let's Get Oshawa Rolling") will be back in af old and familiar atmosphere Monday -- Oshawa's City Council Chamber on the fifth floor of the City Hall where he has spent so many hours, months, and years since he first appeared on the municipal scene as & fledgling councillor away back in 1954, There is good reason to be- lieve at this point that the great majority, if not all, of his Council colleagues will accord him a red carpet welcome, even somé With whom he crossed swords fre+ quently in the old days, pre ceding his self-imposed exile to Sydenham Farm in 1000 to listen to the grass grow", To get down to the up- coming Council sessions -- a good mayor is only as the majority of the aldermen sitting around him, In other words, it matters little if a mayor has shrewd foresight, balanced judgment and worthwhile plans for the passage of progressive legis+ lation if he is surrounded by too many of the wrong kind of people (perennial malcontents, petty bureau- ¢crats, politically ambitious misfits and others of that ilk). A good mayor (and we have every reason to believe that Mr. Gifford can be a good mayor, if accorded intelligent support) can only founder and be effectively squelched, frustrated in such a political atmosphere, regardless of how high his aims and courage, how strong his perseverance, No incoming Oshawa Council has faced greater probleme than those which confront the 1063-64 Council, not excluding the problem of what should be done about the payment of almost $1,000,000 annually in debenture debt interest alone. These problems cannot be solved by Mayor Gifford alone, or any alderman. They can only be solved by the collective efforts of the majority who must be ready to display a rea- sonable spirit of give-and-take, compromise for what they think is in the interests of the taxpayers as a whole. Mr. Gifford has an ambitious program to reduce the City's staggering debt and get Oshawa back of a sane and sound spending policy; in this he has the support of thousands of taxpayers who are vitally concerned about the City's spending habits in recent years. LYMAN GIFFORD "WHEN EVERYONE HAS A NOSE ....%" John Greer is one of the more able lawyers (and school trustees, too) in Ontario County, so that it was nice to see him receive his "QC" honor recently -- without detracting from John, or his ability, however, this department is in- tlined to agree with Lawyer Joseph Sedgwick of Toronto who has suggested that Ontario scrap all Queen's Counsel titles for lawyers and start all over again. Says Mr. Sedg- wick: "There are too many of them, they're meaningless. When everyone has a nose, noses are no distinction." .. . Fred Malloy has resigned his post as third vice-president of the Oshawa C of C because of the pressure of business -- he has been replaced by Russell Humphreys, QC, possibly the greatest living legal authority on the controversial King street tracks in Canada today. . . . The Oshawa C of C has located in its new offices at 99 Simcoe street south, which will be the site of its upcoming auto museum, LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Ralph Found, who was assistant City assessor for several years before his departure for California in 1961, was a visitor in town at Christmas. He has returned to the West Coast... . No appointments have been made as yet to the position of City Medical Officer of Health (which post is still being car- ried on by Dr. Cameron C. Stewart part-time) and that 'of City Treasurer (vacant since the recent death of Fred Tripp). JOHN W. MILLEN WAS BOER WAR VET Harry Millen, former chairman of the now defunct Osh- awa Board of Park Commissioners, was in Chatham, Ont., this week to attend the funeral of his father, John W. Millen, & veteran of the Boer War who died at 87. Mr. Millen, Sr., was famous in the Chatham area in the old days as a base- ball player. . . . Magistrate Frank Ebbs is reported to be in "improved" condition in the Oshawa General Hospital where he is convalescing from a "gastric stomach condition". . . G, R. Wildblood, administrator of the Oshawa Clinic, was in British Columbia this week visiting his father who has been ill. . , . Ken Crone of the Oshawa C of C is proudly boasting that he is a grandfather for the first time -- a son was born to his daughter, Ruth, in London, Ont., this week. MOH POST IS STILL UNFILLED The City has still failed thus far to find a replacement for Dr. Cameron C. Stewart, Medical Officer of Health, who has been serving part-time since his retirement last Novem- ber 1 to enter private practice. . . . Friends of John P. Greig were pleased with Mac Hood's recent story on him from Peterhead, Scotland -- Mr. Greig was the elderly pen- sioner who returned to Scotland two years ago from Oshawa after funds for. his passage were obtained via a public sub- scription campaign directed by Miss Gertrude Tucker of the City Health Department, MARK HOLMES ON THE MEND Remember Mark Holmes, the five-year-old Oshawa boy who was taken to California about one year ago by his par- . @nts, Mr. and Mrs. Don Holmes of 118 Sutherland avenue ? He is doing well in that Sunny California climate, accord- ing to Ernie Holmes, his grandfather, with whom he talked via phone this week. Mark had an advanced case of Cystic Fibrosis in the bowels and lungs, which made digestion difficult -- his par- ents feared that he would never survive another Winter in a cold climate such as this. : Rememebr how some Oshawa citizens bandied together and helped the young family pay off some of their more : urgent bills, such as medical and medicine bills, that threat. ' @d to force them into bankruptcy. ' The Holmes family sold all of their worldly possessidns . (with the exception of a few sticks of furniture and a 1952 : Pontiac) to help finance the trip, Don Holmes gave up his salesman's job with a local * Office supply firm -- he is now working in San Jose, Califor- » ola. ; ELECTION WINDS ARE BLOWING ONCE AGAIN Seen lunching recently in an Oshawa restaurant -- Robert ' Stroud, retiring chairman of the Oshawa Board of Education, and John Lay of Ajax, unsuccessful candidate for the Liberal nomination in Ontario riding in the 1962 Federal election (and a nephew of the late W. L. M. Mackenzie King). Were they, by any chance, discussing Mr. 'Stroud's proposed entry into the uproming Provincial election in Oshawa riding (whenever that may be) as a Liberal candidate ?

KOLWEZI, Katanga (AP)-- Appearing cheerful and his usual ebullient self, President Moise Tshombe insisted Friday the morale of his Katangan army is high--that it still is a fighting force. However, from what I saw of the Katangan troops in the bush around Jadotville and on their retreat along the road to Kol- wezi the army is without or- ders, without hope and without discipline. I drove all night through dense brush, mud .and over- hanging tree .branches in the Katangan back country, It was there that I came upon little groups of Katangan soldiers. They had their families with them ara carried bundles of still armed and tried to com. mandeer the car. SUPPORTS CLAIM I met Tshombe at his head. quarters at Kolwezi. To support his claim that Katangan morale is still high he summoned two limping soldiers to his office. He said they had walked more clothes and food. They were) than 100 miles after escaping from UN forces. Tshombe has established his residence and office in a big house near the centre of Kol- wezi, a mining community 150 miles northwest of Elisabeth. ville, his fallen capital. With Tshombe here are his foreign minister, Everiste Kimbe; Finance Minister Jean Kibwe, and his army com. mander, Gen, Norbert Moke. The rest of his cabinet is scattered about Katanga--most of them at points along the Northern Rhodesian border. Tshombe said they are urging refugees to make their way to Kolwezi, Tshombe said he still is will- ing to negotiate a settlement with the United Nations but will fight to the end if he cannot reach an agreement. "If Kolwezi falls, then we fight in the bush," he said, There was little evident dis- position to fight, however, in Jadotville the night before its capture. SOLDIERS UNRULY Disorderly Katangan soldiers roamed about trying to steal cars and gasoline to make their way out. I left Jadotville a half-hour before UN forces entered, and Katangan troops were ahead of me on the tarred road to Kol- wezi. I saw only one sign of dis- WEATHER FORECAST Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 4:30 a.m. Synopsis: Mild, eastern Canada this morning. owever a developing low is day, bringing a mixture of wet snow, rain or freezing drizzle tion amounts are expected to be light.

He asked for news of the fighting at Jaotville and immediately went full speed dowr the road toward it. A few miles toward Kolwezi troops and civilians suddenly ran off the road and dived into the bushes, and soldiers jumped off trucks and took cover, I realized why in a couple of sec. onds when two Saab (Swedish) jet fighters of the UN flew low) overhead toward Jadotville. TRUCKS STRAFED The troops told me a seven. truck convoy of their army had been shot up by: Saabs the previous day on a road near Jadotville, But if Tshombe's 5,000-strong Negro army just melted away, he still has his white mercen. aries, They were concentrating on Kolwezi as I reached the town. They said there are about 300 of them in Katanga, made up into units, with 200 Negroes; who are expected to fight and| remain: disciplined. The mercenaries are a tough- looking bunch and armed to the teeth, They come from all parts of the world; I met Frenchmen, Poles, Englishmen, Belgians; and a few South Africans and Rhodesians. The mercenaries are quite confident of being able to keep the UN out of Kolwezi, for new suppl.cs of ammunition, wea- pons and other war material are arriving in Kolwezi regu. larly. JFK Accepts Resignation Of A. H. Dean PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP)-- President Kennedy has ac- cepted the resignation of Ar- thur H. Dean as chief U.S. ne- gotiator at the Geneva disarm- ament talks, the White House announced Friday night. Dean, who will return to pri- vate law practice in New York, resigned effective last Monday. No decision has been reached on the appointment of a succes- sor, a White House spokesman said. Kennedy said he was accept. ing Dean's resignation, with) "ereat regret." He praised) Dean for "outstanding serv-| ice." Dean, 64, wrote Kennedy at "though it is a matter of sin-| cere regret to me, urgent per-} sonal considerations: require me to resign." The president said he might accept an offer from Dean "'to| serve in such advisory and con- sulting capacities as you may hb to designate from time to me." Khrushchev Plans Trip To E. Berlin MOSCOW (AP) -- Premier Khrushchev will soon make a trip to Bast Berlin. The trip could mean hew Soviet manoeu- vres on the Berlin question are in the offing. The official Soviet news agency Tass announced Khrush.- chev's plans Friday night, Tass said he will head the Soviet del- egation to the sixth congress of the East German Communist party, opening Jan. 15. Moscow had. been buzzing with speculation about whether Khrushchev would make the trip. Some Western diplomats had said it was unlikely he would go. They suggested he might want to leave the Berlin issue dormant. But other diplomats said they believed he was preparing the ground for such a trip. They pointed to his recent declara- tions of the Berlin*problem. One was sent to West German Chan- cellor Adenauer, the other to London's Daily Express. In both messages, Khrush- chev called for a solution of the Berlin problem, He said the Al- lied occupation regime in West Berlin should be replaced by a UN command. Police Believe Cobbler Slain For Money TORONTO (CP)--An elderly shoemaker found slain here Wednesday may have been robbed of $5,000, a police spokesman said Friday. Inspector William McNeeley of the Metropolitan Toronto po- lice homicide squad said a de- partment store delivery man gave this estimate of the amount in bundles of new bills which he said cobbler James Stephens, 81, produced around Christmas time. Insp. McNeeley urged shop- keepers to watch for new bills with bloodstains. "We feel that the killer had a lot of blood on his hands be- cause of the severe neck wound that killed Stephens," the po- lice inspector said. A. G. Promises NEW LISKEARD, Ont. (CP) Attorney-General Fred Cass of, Ontario has promised an inves: tigation into charges by a mem- ber of Parliament of a '"multi- million dollar" ore highgrading racket in Northern Ontario, Arnold Peters Ww mo- cratic Party MP for Timiska- ming, also has suggested that the fatal aot, of a Cobalt miner may be linked to the racket. Mr, Cass said Friday he will certainly look into this allega- tion and Mr, Peters' claim that "big shots" in highgrading go unpunished, ighgtading is the illegal re- moval of rich ore from mines. The practice gets the name be- cause the ore is taken from highgrade veins.. George McLeod, manager of the Castle division of Mcintyre- Porcupine Mines Limited at Gowganda, 60 miles west of here, Friday said there was a possibility silver highgrading might increase, SOME TEMPTATION "I don't want to create any undue alarm, My only impres- sion is that with the high price of silver there is some tempta- tion to do some highgrading in the whole area and the mines should be protected a_ little more," Mr. McLeod said. Mr. Peters said Thursday. night the death of Roland Gar: ceau might be linked with the racket, He said that a few days be through the city of Windsor to rings racket, Silver now is selling around are Operating 28 he bet at this level the terest in creased, he sai Mr. Peters a the OPP anti-highgrade squad on the grounds the police branch was using "frame-ups" to arrest and convict small operators while the Geneon sources appear immune from arrest, In @ case jast month Haileybury, a few miles south Herein "war col' was a ie fale fh the cane criticized the anti-highgrade squad and Crown prosecutor, Judge John B, Robinson ac: uitted Jean Joseph Berube, a -year-old- Cobalt miner, The said two "absolutely es- sential witnesses" to the case had not been brought into court.

Mr. McLeod, a director of the Ontario Mining Association, said much of the talks about highgrading are just "rumors in the air."

By doggedly pushing beyond Elisabethville, UN troops are steadily edging towards com- plete control over the trouble- some, mineral - rich Katanga province where Tshombe's rule was supported largely by tax payments from the European- controlled cobalt, copper, ura- nium and other miningoper a- tions, Now the financial officials of these mining interests, includ- ing the vast Union Miniere com- plex, are in Leopoldville, appar- ently ready to discuss with Pre- mier Cyrille Adoula's govern- ment a major shift in tax and foreign exchange contributions from Katanga to the central treasury. STRONG ARMY This is the wealth on which Tshombe's secessionist hopes lived. Through these contribu- tions he was able to maintain a well-paid army, aided by white mercenaries and equipped with sufficient weapons to challenge seriously and repeatedly the dream of a united and peaceful Congo. Adoula's_ critical weakness was lack of finances. His gov- ernment was set up to rule the entire Congo but aside from Ka- tanga, The Congo is poor. And for a long time the European management which controlled Katanga mineral wealth claimed it could pay no taxes into the central treasury be- cause of Tshombe's powerful opposition.
