N.W.T. Member Raps Planned 'Colonialism' OTTAWA (CP) Gene Rheaume, the 31-year-old Con- servative who represents a third of Canada's territory in the House of Commons, calls the latest administrative plans for his Northwest Territories con. stituency "colonialism." He has two main beefs about the plan to split the Northwest Territories intto two parts for local administration purposes The existing nine-man council with a commissioner resident in Ottawa has a majority of five appointed members, a moment. The Kennedys, among many others, think he is a national menace and are out to get him Since one Kennedy is president, another is attorney-general and a third is a senator, and since the Kennedys are determined people, anyone but a Hoffa might feel queasy Hoffa is under two federal indictments, In Nashville, Tenn., he is accused of tampering with a jury. In Chicago,. he charged with tapping pension funds for his private use "Phoney charges," Hoffa says, He has been investigated steadily by the U.S. Senate rackets committee since Robert F. Kennedy was its chief counse] and Senator John F, Kennedy was a member. Repeatedly the committee has concluded that his union is over-run with racketeers who often milk both employers and their own members. In 1959 Congress passed labor legislation designed, in part, to curb Hoffa, Experts think Is chairman of the central con- ference, vice-president of the national He took over the presidency Jan, 24, 1958. Senators, so pleased at hocking off former Teamster head Dave _ Beck, found the union led by a man who was rougher, tougher, abler and far harder to bring down But they tried Early Summer Recess Plans Said Fading OTTAWA (CP) -- Opposition irritation with the government has risen to a new pitch and re. liable informants say the chances of an ea parliamen- tary summer recess have faded away. Apparently what got under the skin of the Progressive Conserv- it atives was some of the things has hurt weaker unions more State Secretary Pickersgill had than it has the Teamsters. WOUND UP BOSS A federal judge set monitors to watch Hoffa and make sure he cleaned up the Teamsters. Hoffa turned on the monitors, kept them bewitched and bewildered--and wound up sole boss of his union The AFL-CIO booted the Teamsters out and said couldn't return until they had cleaned up corruption and * charges of to say Tuesday night about Op- position Leader Diefenbaker, former finance. minister George Conservative government up to April this year.

Some of the largest hold- jings are said to be those of pol- jitichans and their friends. 4, Though the back of the landed estates was broken by Cardenas, president from 1034 \to 1940, there now is the prob- 1 25 acres or less.

How- ever, it remains the property of the state. 2, Where no land is available for expropriation in the imme diate neighborhood of an exist- ing community, the whole group may be moved to another area jand given land, 3. Lands not under cultiva- tion may be declared a public liability and ceded to landless peasants, As "colonists," they then become eligible for special assistance in developing it, Un- der this type of arrangement peasants are being moved in large numbers from the arid central plateau to the virgin tropical lowlands of southeast Mexico, 4 Under Cardenas a number of collective farms were also es- tablished but these broken up by his successors, weak- ness of this system was the temperament of the Mexican campesino, An individualist, the peasant likes to have his own plot of land and doesn't take kindly to compulsory co-opera- tion with his neighbors.
