2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Fobrusry 13, 196 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BIG FINANCE MEET THURSDAY AT CITY HALL There appears to be some confusion about the meeting tomorrow night -- THURSDAY -- in the City Council Cham- bers on the fifth floor of the City Hall between Council and and members of the Board of Education and the PUC. The meeting will definitely be open to the public, Mayor Lyman Gifford said today, and it will start. at 7:30 p.m, Purpose of the meeting pri- marily is to acquaint the Board and the PUC with the City's Capital Spending Plan forecast for the next few years and to enlist their sup- port and co-operation in keep- ing debenture debts and all other municipal easts down, City Hall Department heads have prepared charts and graphs for the meeting to illustrate the City's "indebt- edness" program from 1950 to 1965. The meeting will repre- sent "a noble experiment""-- as one alderman called it -- between the three major municipal bodies in an effort to chop down the City's alarming debenture debt -- more than $20,358,536 at the end of 1962, plus an interest rate of $959,360 which will hit the $1,007,175 mark this year. One of the interesting things due to come out of this meet- ing will be the per capita debt costs for the City of Oshawa. The best bet is that they will be among the highest in the Province. Alderman Walter Branch, chairman of the City Finance committee, wil) assist with the presentation of "facts and figures." LIBERALS HOLD MEET IN OTTAWA Some big Liberal names from Ontario riding are in Ottawa to attend a meeting of the Liberal Federation Council - George K. Drynan, QC; William Lawson, Pickering township lawyer; Norman Cafik, Liberal candidate in the riding in 1962; and John Lay, twice a Party candidate in the riding in the early 1950's, when he was defeated by close majorities. Organization plans for the forthcoming Federal election are being discussed at the Ottawa meeting. . , . Don Jackson and the Shipstads and Johnson Ice Follies will appear in Buffalo, March 26 to 31, inclusive. They are currently in Boston. Don spent six hours last week making a special film. on Canadian sports, details of which will be announced later. . . . Newest trade union outlet in Oshawa will be Motor City Local 328 of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Em- ployees (it includes Express and Freight Yard employees). Members expect to receive their charter next month. MAYOR GIFFORD LABOR COLLEGE TO OPEN THIS YEAR Alderman Thomas Rundle is convalescing at home with Chicken Pox and will be absent from his law office for two or three days. . There will be an open meeting of City Council next Monday night... . There was much talk at the recent UAW Seminar in Oshawa about the Canadian Labor College which is to be opened in Montreal this year through the co-operation of the University of Montreal, McGill University, the Canadian Labor Congress and the Confedera- tion of National Trade Unions. It is to be chartered as an independent institution using some of the facilities of the University with McGill and the University of Montreal pro- viding the main teaching body supplemented by professors from other universities and from the Trade Union Movement. The opening depends on the results of a campaign for enrol- ment of a sufficient number of students. Students will be drawn principally from labor organizations, but subject to approval of the Board of Governors, other qualified appli- cants will be accepted. Selection of students will be under- taken on the basis of merit, ability to benefit from the pro- gtam, and the capacity to participate in the work of the college. About two students would be eligible this year from Loeal 222, UAW-CLC. CONVENTION TIME IS HERE ONCE AGAIN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TRAVEL (BOARD OF EDUCATION SECTION: Trustees Leo Glover and Harold Armstrong of the Oshawa Board of Education will attend the annual convention of the American Association of School Administrators in Atlantic City, N, J., February 16-20, inclusive. Principal George Roberts of the McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute and Principal A, B. Woods of the Donevan Collegiate Institute attended the annual convention of the National Association of Secondary Schools in Pitts- burgh, Pa., February 9-15, inclusive. When is the Board of Education going to publish the total annual cost of its convention bill for trustees and school officials alike? If the Board is contemplating an Austerity Program, this would be a good place to start. Conventions are worthwhile in principle, but a City the size of Oshawa can not afford a convention bill such as has been presented to the taxpayers by the Board in recent years. It's extfavagant, wasteful. NEW OFFICE BUILDING FOR KING ST. E. Some of the Progressive-Conservative brass at Sunday night's secret meeting in the Hotel Genosha refused to vote in favor of the "We-Support-Diefenbaker" telegram sent to the-Prime Minister on behalf of the PC Association of Oshawa Riding. These vote-abstainers, influential Party members, ar¢ solidly behind "Mike" Starr, but they wouldn't go along with support for Mr, ODiefenbaker. . . . That new office build- ing-under construction at 187 King street east will be known as the Financial Trade Building and will open in mid-May. It will have 10,000 square feet and be two storeys high -- the London Life Insurance Company. By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva- tives are preparing to accuse Liberal Leader Pearson of re- PCs Ready To Charge Pearson Backing Down "The government should re- examine at onee the whole basis of Canadian defence policy. In particular, it should discuss with the United States and with at ence its evasion of respon- sibility by discharging the com- mitments it has accepted for Canada and, as it happens, it ean only do this now by accept- treating from his Jan, 12 i- tion on nuclear arms for Cana- dian forees, political sources statements by Mr. Pearson Jan. 12 in Toronto, Jan. 25 in Par- lament and Tuesay al a ing. In his Toronto speech, Mr. Pearson said the government say. The accusation is based on conference during the Li i party's national council meet- "should end et once its evasion nuclear warheads for cer- whieh would be more realistic and effective for Canada than the present one. "This examination would be concerned, among other things, with the necessity of building up NATO's conventional forces and the part Canada could play in this. "However, until the present role is changed, a new Liberal aceepted for Canada. 't ean only do this by accepting nuclear warheads, for those defensive Pave pare which ; effectively be used _ without them, but which we have agreed to use." At another point in the Jan. 12 speech, he said: of resp ging the commitments 4 has already g : would put Canada's armed services in a position to discharge fully commitments undertaken for Canada by its predecessor." USED SIMILAR WORDS In Parliament, Mr. Pearson used almost precisely identical words : "The government should, end defensive tactical w which cannot effectively without those warheads,' He added that a Liberal gov- ernmment would make a com- plete and thorough review of de- fence policy which could not be done overnight and which would require consultation with Can- ada's allies. "While keeping our pledges, we would seek a better and more effective defence role for that while this is necessary: and it will now take time--it is also necessary to honor the pledges we have undertaken until they are changed." Mr, Pearson has denied that these statements mean renego- tiation of a non-nuclear rale after pting nuclear arms. TORONTO and municipal tax structures would be completely reorgan- ized by a Liberal government, Liberal leader John Winter- meyer tolc- the Ontario legisla- ture Tuesday. 3 In @ 12,000-word speech which opened debate on the 1963-64 (CP)--Provincial municipal nesponsibi: fields of education, health, wel- fare, justice and roads." These reforms would be ex- pensive: but would be financed by the issue of four-year pro- vineial . savings bonds which would put their cost on a "self- supporting" basis in four years, he said. The Liberal leader accused the governmerit of presenting a budget similar to its 1943 budget and "tinkering with existing revenues and expenditures" in- stead of making needed "funda- mental revisions" of policy, The Progressive Conservatives be- gan their present tenure in of- fice in 1943. He said the budget, presented last week, "makes it abun- dantly clear that this govern- ment has no policy or program for economic growth,"" -- ing the government for fail- ing to: Establish '"'priorities of ex- penditure that would meet the urgent needs of the people and finances and planning for university ex- pansion and training of staff; Introduce a prepaid medical care insurance plan; Reform provincial and munic- ipal responsibilities and taxa- tion; ' budget, Mr. Wintermeyer prom- Liberal Promises Reforms In Taxes Show "decisive leadership"' in the solution of agricultural problems; and Promote labor - management co-operation in assisting gov- ernment to "plan effectively for economic growth." Mr. Wintermeyer said little of the $160,000,000 increase in the province's revenue could be at: tributed to economic growth. increased taxation and inflation accounted for} $125,000,000 and the remaining $35,000,000 "is obviously the re- sult of growth--growth of pop- ulation and the increased con- ag of liquor and gas- oline."" SEES EDUCATION CRISIS Mr, Wintermeyer said On- tario's education systems faced a crisis and there was no 'indica- tion the government had given any ideration to repr ta tions from educational groups, especially rural and separate school bodies, 'in order to re- move inequities." He said a Liberal government would establish a_ university grants commission to plan and carry out a long-range program and prepare a five-year capital budget "so the universities will know how much they will re- ceive in the years vhead." The Liberal leader proposed that highway programs should "ibe divorced from the budget and financed spearately from revenue currently associated with highways and transporta- tion. He said a Libera] government "|would establish an inquiry into government operations similar to the federal Glassco Royal Commission The legislature approved esti- mates for the travel and pub- licity department, authorizing total expenditure of $2,400,000, compared with an actual ex- penditure of $2,204,000 in the current year.

Toronto URGES DISCUSSIONS At Tuesday's press confer- ence he said re-examination of defence policy should be carried on both inside and outside Par- liament and within the Western alliance. 'What the results would be I don't know," he said, adding that he would hope for a "more appropriate' role for Canadian forces. The review might estab- lish that a conventional role "may well be the best role." Conservatives argue that Mr. Pearson intended to give. the impression in Toronto and in Parliament that, while accept- ing nuclear warheads now, the Liberals favored changing Can- ada's continental and collective defence role to one that would not require nuclear warheads.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS With formal pomp and color, New Brunswick's legislature has moved into session, It was the fourth provincial legislature to go to work this year. Lieutenant-Governor J, Leon- ard O'Brien, greeted by a 100- man guard of honor from the 1st Battalion of the Black Watch regiment from nearby Camp Gagetown, read the traditional Speech From the Throne Tues- ay. The. speech promised a bill to protect innocent victims of highway accidents with 'a more realistic level of public liability anc property damage insurance coverage," It also promised a high school text book rental system and a INTERPRETING THE NEWS In Arms By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer Disarmament negotiations, as tedious and involved as they are important, are under way again has been marked by a strange mixture of hope and pessimism. The 17-nation talks cover the whole spectrum of disarma- ment, but the hope centres on a possible agreement to ban nuclear tests. The reason for optimism was well defined by the United States delegate, William Foster. He said it seemed to the US. that "the basic ingredient of success--a desire for agreement by both nuclear sides--may now xist.'" In other words, the hope is that last year's extensive test- ing by both sides may have re- sulted in some sort of balance; a situation where neither side will consider it necessary, to start a new test series to "catch up" with the other 'side. NEED FRANCE The main reason for pessi- mism is President Charles de Gaulle, The French leader has made jit crystal clear that France -- which was to have becn the 18th power at the Gen- eva talks -- has no intention of signing away its right to test until it has a firm membership in the nuclear club. Russia has made it equally clear that no test ban can be concluded with- out France. This would seem to make the 'n futility, But there are pow- in Geneva. As usual the opening Some Hope Seen Talks the eight non - aligned nations at the talks to get down to busi- ness, For another, the echnical dif- ferences separaing the two sides appear smaller than ever before, If an agreement in prin- ciple could be reached France would come under great pres- sure from all sides to go along with it. READY TO BARGAIN? Britain's minister of state and chief delegate, Joseph Godber, indicated before the opening of the current session that the West was prepared for serious horse-trading. He said the West might be willing to reduce its demands for on-site inspections if the Russians also were pre- pared. to make concessions. _ He implied that fewer inspec- tions might be necessary if the Russians agreed to siting more of the automatic seismic sta- tions to differentiate between earthquakes and underground tests. | Meanwhile, the issue has been complicated by continued U.S. underground tests in Nevada. Russia says this resumption of testing threatens the chances for an agreement. The U.S. says it is merely "continuing" the series broken for the dura- ticn of the January test ban talks in the United States, N.B.

BRINGS IN ESTIMATES In Quebec, Premier Jean Le- sage, also the finance minister, presented second supplemen- tary estimates of $30,181,300- bringing the province's total 1962-68 spending estimates to $987,811,975.
