Bye Ostaron Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Good Faith Is Lacking In Nuclear Test Talks President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev have carried on a dia- logue about a ban on nuclear tests, and now the U.S. president and Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan are reported ready to make a joint effort to persuade the Soviet leader to agree to a ban. They, of course, blame Mr. Khrushchev for failure to reach agreement; Mr. Khrush- chew claims that it is the Western leaders who are recalcitrant. There cannot help but be a sus- picion that, for diverse reasons, either of the two great nuclear powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, wants to ban nuclear testing at this time, despite their pious protestations. This suspicion is reflected in the report from Washington which suggests that Khrushchev could throw the U.S. administration into a tizzy simply by agreeing to the Washington de- mand for seven on-site inspections a year; the report indicates that Russian acceptance would get a hostile reception in the Pentagon and would be rejected by the U.S. Congress. And that would put the USS. in the position of rejecting its own proposal simply because it was acceptable to Russia -- a major propaganda victory for the Com- munists. Khrushchev, however, shows no inclination of testing U.S. good faith. He sticks to the offer of two or three on-site inspections a year. And this petty disagreement over what is essentially a technicality is enough to prevent agreement on a test ban. It is a technicality, be- cause a difference of four in the number of on-site inspections is merely a quibble. A test ban agreement is a neces- sary prelude to agreement on firm steps towards disarmament. If the nuclear powers cannot agree on the halting of weapons testing, they cannot be expected to agree on reduction and ultimate elimination of those weapons. Meanwhile the nuclear arms grow more numerous and more powerful. Little wonder that the dying Pope John expressed fear for the fate of humanity. Tags Help Biologists Anglers who catch tagged fish can do much to sustain their sport by sending the tags, along with pertinent information about their catch, to the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The depart- ment's biologists would like to know the date and exact location of the catch, and the length, weight and gex of the fish; this information enables them to chart the growth rates, travels and population den- sities of Ontario's game fish, and from such data they can proceed with measures to improve fishing. Tagging is carried out with var- fous species in different parts of | the province. For three weeks in May, for example, a department biologist and two fisheries techni- cians were trap -- netting fish in Sturgeon Lake, tagging and then releasing them, by the beginning of June, 600 fish had been tagged, approximately 60 per cent of the pickerel (walleyes), 30 per cent largemouth and smallmouth bass, and 10 per cent maskinonge. Sturgeon Lake draws many fish- ermen from Oshawa and district, some of whom will undoubtedly catch tagged fish this summer. Death Duty If legislators want to help small business and cut down further foreign ownership of Canadian busi- ness -- as they all say they do -- they could amend death duties legis. lation, according to proposals put 'before the Royal Commission on Taxation. The argument of the Estate Plan- 'ning Council of Toronto, an orga- 'nization of trust company officials, 'life underwriters, lawyers and char- 'tered accountants, goes like this: The present policy of cash-on- 'the-barrelhead hits a small business 'when it is likely to be least able 'to pay, when it may even be faced with a fight for survival. The death 'of an owner-manager is likely to greatly reduce the market value and 'credit rating of a small firm; even Rhye Oshanoa Times C.

You will receive an acknowledge- ment and details of when it was tagged, ete." The department also says: "Un- less the tags are returned to us with such details as the date and exact location of the catch, and the length, weight and sex of the fish, the knowledge being sought is lost. When we receive a tag with this information we can, by consulting our records, determine when the fish was tagged and where, then by comparing this with the date and location of his capture, chart on a map of the intervening waters, the course of his travels .. . Computing population densities is somewhat difficult, especially if there are several means of access to the body of water being sampled. Where these are limited, however, popula- tions can be estimated with some accuracy." Solution if the family is capable to earry- ing on, it does so under handicap. Because of this situation, the Es- tate Tax Act encourages the sale of small businesses to foreign in- vestors. As he gets into his sixties, the individual who has built a small company may have to sell out while the business is still a prosperous, going concern -- and very often the only readily available buyer is the foreign investor. The Council's brief also argued that while the estate tax provides only a minute part of government revenue -- only 1% per cent of the federal budget -- it drains off capital needed for economic dev- elopment. Exemption from the tax, suggested the Council, should be raised from $50,000 to $100,000 and the peak rate should be lowered from 54 per cent to 30 per cent. It would seem that revising the Estate Tax Act in favor of the small businessman would affect a large number of Canadians. In the manufacturing industry alone, for instance, 21,645 of the country's 36,682 establishments have an an- nual output valued at less than $100,000. Most of these small busi- nesses, 60 per cent, are under in- dividual ownership. When partner- ships are included the proportion rises to about 75 per cent. The reforms proposed by the Es- tate Planning Council -- combining a five-year payment period with a higher exemption and a lower peak tax rate -- would cut government revenues by very little. ws = ee YOUR HEALTH 'U TOO: Failure To Focus Needs Attention By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My three- year-oid sun seems to be '"'cock- eyed."" They aren't crossed, but at certain times he looks at us with one eye while the other ap- pears to be staring. If I put my hand over his eyes for a second, everything returns to normal. About six months ago I had him to our doctor for a cold and asked him to check on this, but he could find nothing wrong. Are we imagining this, or is it possible? If so, is there any- thing we should do about it? I have noticed this in very young infants but they quickly outgrow it.--MRS. L, S. I doubt if you are imagining it. This condition is known as strabismus, or a form of squint. You also have been an acute observer of babies. They have to learn to focus by trial and error, until they hit on the right way to make their eyes track. If, a little older than baby- hood, a child has difficulty, it usually is most noticeable when he tries to focus at close range --on a toy, or a picture, per- haps. But all sorts of variants are possible. It may seem to affect only one eye, or both, or may shift from one eye to the other. The eye may turn inward, out- ward, up or down. The condition can appear pe- riodically, which makes it quite understandable that your doctor couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. However, you are with your son all the time and can note the trouble when it hap- ns. Early treatment of such a GALLUP POLL condition is important, and re- quires analysis by an ophthal- mologist, or eye specialist. Various measures may be taken--glasses, certain forms of eye exercises, surgery to cor- rect some fault in the eye mus. cles. Dear Dr. Molner: What effect on health is there from wash- ing dishes in the kitchen sink? --C. A. A. It's all right--provided you then put the dishes in a rack or drainer on top of the sink, and pour scalding water over them to kill remaining germs. Dear Dr. Molner: You re- cently mentioned a small needle-less. hand injector that is being developed for "shots" and that may be available soon. l have been waiting for some method to ease the burden of giving insulin with a needle. I would appreciate any news. Would it be suitable for indi- vidual shots?--M. D. I (and others) think the new "gun" will be ideal for insulin, as well as for other injections. The "shots" are virtually pain- less. Studies of the instrument are being made (I'm familiar with some of them) and they look very satisfactory so far. They are still in progress. Dear Dr. Molner: X-rays show that I have an enlarged liver. Is this serious?--MRS. G. S. M. With some people, depending on build, X-rays can show what seems to be an enlarged liver. The next step, therefore, is a physical examination, If this confirms that the enlargement is real, then other tests, chiefly of a chemical nature, would be necessary to determine whether liver disease is present. Gaug- ing the seriousness depends en- tirely on finding out whether the liver is diseased, and if so the nature of the disease.

Choice Between Parties Remains Evenly Divided (World Copyright Reserved) BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION There is no indication yet that Canadians are ready to give a complete majority to any one political party today. From a trend question aimed at establishing what party the voters think is best for them- selves, a Gallup Poll study shows that among those who name a choice the electorate is almost evenly divided. How- ever one-fourth of the people cannot decide which party to favor. Liberals have the confidence of 29 per cent of the people, and the Conservatives 26 per cent on Which Party Libs. Cons.

Other Parties -- Social Credit 12 per cent; NDP 8 per cent -- and the undecided make up the balance of the population. Contrasting what has happen- ed to the situation with that of a year ago current standing shows a gain of 8 per cent for Liberals and a'loss of 4 per cent for Conservatives. In the in. terim, Social Credit has risen by 7 per cent as the columns below reveal.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times Party, has proved to the British lic how wise the party was rejecting him in the age leadership choosing Harold Wilson in pref- erence to the pugnacious Mr. Brown. In a speech at a Labor Union dinner in London, referring to the House of Commons debate on a motion of censure of the Home Secretary, Henry Brooke, over the Chief Enaharo affair, he went far beyond what might be termed the bitter rough and tumble of party politics. In a direct attack on Prime Minister Macmillan, he dubbed Mr. Mac- millan as a liar and deceiver, and described him as: "An in- jured desperate man who does not care what happens so long as he creates the maximum ill- will and upset around the world, Britain cannot aiford such a man at the head of affairs any longer." As mi| be expected from such an ill-phrased outburst, Mr. Brown has done himself and his party much more harm than good by this outrageous at- tack on Mr Macmillan. He is regarded by MPs as_ having gone far beyond the verbal rough and tumble which is com- mon form amongst politicians. He could not have called the prime minister a liar in the House of Commons without be- ing called upon to withdraw. Conversely, things said outside the House do not have the pro- tection of party privilege. Mr. Macmillan will have to uecide for himself whether to take up Mr Brown's challenge. From the party political stand- point such an attack can do him nothing but good. It is true that his deliberate combative speech in the censure motion debate rallied the Con- servative party as it had not been rallied for months. Mr. Brown's outburst is convincing evidence that he got the Labor party on raw flesh. The Daily Telegraph political corre- spondent sums it up neatly in this paragraph: "Political exchanges have perhaps become too namby- pamby of late. But those who remember the effect of the late Aneurin Bevan's 'lower than vermin' phrase may feel that Mr. Brown's choice of words may have done his own party a grave dis-service." HOUSES GALORE Sir Keith Joseph, in announc- ing the government's new hous- Ing plans and program, was in a bold mood when he predicted that the housing shortages will be over in the next 10 years. He made this assertion with the knowledge that, in as close an estimate as can be made, there is at present a shortage of any- where between half a million and a million homes. But even i he was bold, his approach to the problem can be accepted as realistic. Sir Keith proposes ta approach the problem of short- age from both ends -- first, to secure a greater supply of mod- ern or modernized homes, and secondly, to exact an economic rent from those who are not in need of special aid. One of the disgraces of the present system of subsidized rents is that far too many peo- ple who can well afford-to buy or build their own homes are allowed to continue as tenants of council-subsidized houses. HIGH OBJECTIVE Sir Keith has set his depart- ment ,a high target for home- building and modernization, of 350,000 a year, or more than 1,000 for every working day. Of these, some 125,000 would be needed to match the growth of new households. So, if the aim of 350,000 a year is realized, this would make possible a sub- stantial acceleration in the rate of clearance of slum and near- slum houses. The minister prop to at- cieties building houses for rent' By lending these societies up to 95 per cent of the capital cost old homes by landlords, in addi- tion to providing substantial grants for this purpose. From every angle, the minister's pro- posals are imaginative and real- istic, and it is well within the capacity of the building industry to enable» his objective to be met, with highly beneficial re- sults for the millions who are to- day poorly housed because of the housing shortages. MISTAKEN POLICY Harold Wilson and his sup- porters in the left wing of the Labor party are adopting a strong line on Britain's trade relations with South Africa. Mr. Wilson himself has demanded that a ban be placed on the sale of armaments to South Africa. His left wing supporters are still insisting on a boycott of all South African products, and are urging the British peo- Ple to stop buying them. The mistaken basis for this policy is, however, quite clear 4 QUEEN'S PARK " not welcome a to the British workers | jobs to some extent depend trade with So: Scottish EE a Hott being to South African orders for ships.

And even with- in the Labor party itself, only z glell Be in favor of it. It would therefore seem ob- vious that in aiming his shafts at South Africa through the medium of trade, Mr. Wilson is definitely backing the wrong horse. Shallow Argument On Medicare Issue By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A number of groups now are fighting medi- care. Both the strength and the scope of their efforts vary. Some are against any parti- cipation by government in- surance, Others just don't want a program of socialized insur- ance, Some are bold, brash and loud. Others are working qui- etly behind the scenes. Included in the opposition ranks are reputable groups such as chambers of commerce. Their function is a valuable one. Medicare is an important and complex question. The more controversy there is the better for our political health--and the better the eventual system can be. But this is only so if the controversy is worth while. OPPOSITION SHALLOW And a common characteristic of practically all of the opposi- tion to date is that it has been shallow. For example, there is a press release on.a speech delivered by E. Glyde Gregory, president of Ayerst, McKenna and Harri- son Limited. : The release was distributed TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press June 8, 1963... The Royal Navy's air- craft carrier Glorious was destroyed with a loss of 1,200 lives 23 years ago today--in 1940--during the evacuation of Allied forces from Narvik in the Second World War. With the carrier, two Brit- ish destroyers also were lost, in the action in which the German battleship Scharn- horst and the pocket battle- ship Gneisenau took part. Some 38 men escaped and a few were taken prisoner. 1930--King Carol returned to the throne of Romania. 1929--Canadian poet Bliss Carman died. : by Canadian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association un- der the heading Private Medical Care Proved Better Than Gov- ernment Schemes. The speech, however--or at least the release--is lacking in any real "proof." Mr. Gregory's deduction seems mainly based on the fac that Soviet Russia has had so- cialized medicine for 43 years and that "since its advent the U.S.S.R. has made no major or moderate contribution to any of some 20 branches of medical science." EVIDENCE IS LACKING This incredible and quite un- believable statement is pre- sented as a matter of "fact." There is no evidence given to support it. One finds that this type of broad statement is prevalent in the arguments presented by the opponents of medical insur- ance. The men presenting them are doubtedly sincere. They un- doubtedly believe what they are Saying. But the public can't be blamed if it believes they are talking mainly from_ bigotry. For they do not justify them- selves, and one has to conclude they are forming their opinions on their emotions. And the more sensitive area of the public, of course, can take offence. For this type of. submission is actually arrogant and is an insult to the intelligence.
