Ending an executive board meeting, the AFL - CIO Mari- time Trades Department ac- cused the Canadian Brother- hood of Railway, Transport and General Works (CLC) of spear- heading the attempt to "de- stroy" the Canadian Seafarers' International Union headed by Harold C, Banks. The department also con- 'itended that the brotherhood was trying to abolish international unionism and was supporting an attempt to 'raid' AFL-CIO unions in Canada. Saying it repudiates and con- demns the entire activities of the' Canadian Brotherhood, the department's executive board, representing 29 unions, called on AFL-CIO President George Meany to place the question of the future of Canada-US. trade union relations before the next AFL-CIO general board meeting unlikely to take place at New York in November. The board is made up of the presidents or principal officers of all unions affiliated with the central labor body. A Maritime Trades Depart- ment spokesman said this con- sideration could involve a de- cision as to whether the AFL- CIO should end co - operation Sinatra May Lose Gambling Licence CARSON. CITY, Nev: (AP)-- k Sinatra, the sangling ger who branched out as an actor, businessma and gambl- ing impress ari-o, has been threatened with loss of his Ne- vada ig licence, He is ac- cused of allegedly allowing a crime overlord to stay at the Cal-Neva gambling lodge. Sinatra, in New York Wednes- day night, was not available for comment. The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Sinatra's guest at the showman's Lake Tahoe ca- sino on the California-Nevada state line was Sam Giancana. A five-point complaint sub- mitted to the state gaming com- mission in Carson City Wednes- day described Giancana, 54, of Oak Park, Ill., as "'one of the 12 overlords of American crime."

Nevada keeps a "black book" that currently lists 11 persons, one of them Giancana, banned from any Nevada gaming es- tablishment.

The com- plaint did not elaborate. Further, Gaming Board Chairman Edward Olsen said: "Sinatra used vile, obscene, and indecent language, in a tone menacing in the extreme, (co- stituting) a threat' when Olsen talked with him by. - telephone about Giancana on Aug. 31.

Norris in a royal commission report charging Banks with gangsterism, dicta- torship and brutality. The department's executive Private Clean-Up Urged For Labor OTTAWA (CP) -- U.S. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz flew back to Washington Wednesday to unge responsible American labor leaders to launch a "'pri- vate' clean-up of waterfront labor lawlessness on the Great Lakes. Mr. Wirtz told reporters after meetings with Prime Minister Pearson and Labor Minister MacEachen that he hopes that the trade union movement in Canada and the United States will find a solution to the p; lem of gangsterism ant violénge on the Great Lakes. He made it clear that he pre- fers a private remedy by labor itself, rather than the public cure proposed by the Canadian government -- an unprec- edented trusteeship by the gov- ernment over five marine un- ions, including the Seafarers' In- ternational Union of Canada (Ind.). "I'm a great believer that in the free labor movement there are elements for dealing with a caption of this kind," said Mr. Z. Mr, Wirtz expressed hope that "some way will be found whereby the assertion of the basic responsibilities of free trade unions in this country and in the U.S. will produce an an- swer to this problem." Later, Mr. Wirtz said in a television interview that the re- sponsibility 'to do the right thing" lies with the AFL-CIO, Canadian unions and other pri- vate interests."

ASKS GET OUT | New Democratic Party Leader Donald C. MacDonaid joined the assault with a chal- lenge to the Ontario governme to get out of the pension busi- ness and leave the field to the federal plan. At the last session of the On- tario legislature the Progres- sive Conservative government passed a funded pension plan to take effect Jan. 1, 1965. Con- tributions would be invested with private insurance compa- nies and built up over a period): of years. The Liberal federal] govern- ment, however, hopes to intro- duce a national pay-as-you-go scheme for larger pensions payed directly out of contribu- tions, - Premier Robarts Monday was the only premier to personaily appear at a federal-provincial conference on the subject in Ot- \Ottawa agreed to the principle of a fed- eral plan, and was willing to alter its own scheme accord- ingly.

Criticizing both the previous and present Canadian govern- ments, the resolution said one purpose of the Norris investiga- tion was to "re-establish the system of slavery at sea." The executive board said it deplores the investigation and all its con- sequences as well-as the support given to the investigation by the storm clouds in federal - pro- vincial relations with Quebec in growing darker and more om- inous.

Exact size of the sale was not known. The deal was made in Ottawa where Canada and Russia were negotiating a new trade agree- ment to replace an expiring three-year pact. The Canadian Press reported Tuesday night Ottawa negofiat- ors were talking about a 60,000,- 000-bushel deal worth $100,000,- 000 or more, But the completed deal is reported higher than that but not as large as the China dea' .nnounced six weeks ago. Under that deal Communist China agreed to take a mini- mum of 112,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat in a three-year period.
