It urged the 13,500,000 members to fight discrimination everywhere. He said: The Negro's tradit- jonal loyalties to the labor move- ment were being tested as never before, not only by discrimina- tion in some local unions, but by the failure of labor to throw its full weight behind the Negro civil rights drive. In urging the union leaders to press at the local level for full implementation of the conven- tion's civil rights declaration, he warned that failure to do so would mean millions of Neg- roes in the U.S. would become more inclined to support extre- mists advocating anti-labor leg- islation, Another Negro union leader, Leo Smith of the International Electrical Workers Union, warned of a blood bath that would make past racial strife "look like a tea party" unless Negroes win what he termed full freedom, The 1,200 convention delegates adopted: the strong civil rights resolution after refusing to in- clude the critical language of Jury was scheduled to start pondering today whether or not BROCKVILLE, Ont. (CP)--A Could the general--manager, Murray Billings, have 'been un- aware of these losses, asked de- Dolores Clow was 1f ible for financial losses at Billings Motors Limited said to be "ai- most beyond belief." Evidence in the trial of Mrs. Clow on a charge of stealing $228,000 was completed Monday, 10 days after the start of the hearing that revolved largely around the accused's relation- ship with her employer, E. Mur- ray Billings. Mrs, Clow, 37, said that from the time she went to work for Billings in 1954 until she left in October, 1962, she was his mistress. And he coveted her affection with jewels and fus, so to speak. "Close your eyes and open your hand and see what I have for you," Billings said to her once, Mrs. Clow testified. What he had for her was a 1963 Cadillac and into her palm he put the keys. But Billings denied such slavish generosity. Whether or not guilt lay with Mrs. Clow, testimony from both Crown and defence made it clear that the affairs of the auto agency where she was an ac- countant were, as auditor John Cross put it, "chaotic." Mr, Cross, a witness for the defence called Monday, said that had the firm's books not been padded, Billings Motors would have shown a loss in 1960 of $171,825. The books actually showed a profit of $3,198. In 1961 the loss was $111,484, But the books showed a profit of $6,139, Psychological v fence 1 Roydon Hughes? "I don't know how anyone cowid lose 102 complete cars in on: year and not know about it," said Mr, Cross. He said he had concentrated ion new car inventories that had jbeen supplied to auditors in 1959, 1960 and 1961. In 1959 tre inventory listed 112 cars--but 26 of these had been gold before the inventory was made, In 1960 there were 212 cars listed, but 90 had been sold. In 1961 there were 161 cars listed. But 102 of these cars had been sold, 'BEYOND BELIEF' Mr, Cross said the shortages were "almost beyond belief." "I can't appreciate how the affairs of the company could have gone on." Recalled to the stand for fur- ther examination by Crown prosecutor Percy Milligan Mon- day, Billings, 46, denied that he ordered false entries made in the company's books to cover up for money being used to main- tain Mrs. Clow as a "princess" --a word used by defence coun- sel at the start of the trial. Billings denied to testimony by Mrs. Clow that he had asked his solicitor to draw up a letter absolving her of any responsi- bility for false book entries she made. Mrs. Clow had said earlier that she had taken cash from the company and covered it up in the books, but only at the in- struction of her employer. -- Mr, Milligan, summing up the case for the Crown, implied that Mrs. Clow had used sex to sway Billings. Car Dealer Denies False Entry Order "The Crown does not deny in- timacy," he said, "but does not admit it extended to such an extent as described by Mrs. Clow." "She thought it was an ideal setup for her to take money out and beguile Mr. Billings with his infatuation, He may have told her to take what she wanted, but she hoarded it in a safety deposit box." When Mr. Milligan cross-ex- amined Mrs. Clow Monday, she said she did not love her hus- band, William, She said she once thought she was in love with Billings, but during the last years of their relationship she had not cared much {or him. She said she "carried on with him anyway as he was good to me." But Mrs, Clow said that in October, 1962, she decided to break away from Billings and leave Brockville with another man whom she had met earlier that year in Ogdensburg, N.Y. "So in June of that year you were married and living with a man you didn't love, were hav- ing intimate relations with an- other man you didn't love and were planning to go away with a third man" Mr. Milligan said. In the summation for the de- fence, Mr, Hughes said that Mrs. Clow's morals were not on trial. He suggested that Billings accusation of theft against her was prompted by jealousy. "To charge her with the theft of this money would take a heavy burden off Mr. Billings' shoulders,"' he said. "Tf you believe Mrs. Clow's story or have any reasonable doubt that there was an af'air and he was allowing her to take the money, then I ask for an ac- quittal."" Tests Suspended WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. state department has sus- pended new psychological tests for code clerk applicants, ap- parently because of protests from outraged job seekers and personnel officers, the Washing- ton Star says. The Star says the tests asked searching questions about applicants' personal life--how. they got along with their moth- ers, fathers, wives; whether they felt persecuted as children; whether they identified them- selves with a group or were 'lone wolves."' They also were asked to give their own ratings of how happy their marriages are, The questionnaire covered 13 pages and applicants were told the tests would take from one to five hours, The Star says John F. Reilly, deputy assistant secfétary\ for security, ordered the psychdlo- gical tests into use on Oct. 22. They lasted 22 days.

With the changes, said Labor Minister MacEachen the pro- gram may be the framework for a national vocational and OTTAWA (CP) Douglas Fisher (NDP -- Port Arthur) said Monday Canada never will have equality of educational op- portunity as long as Quebec re- fuses to participate in a national educational program. The: former high _ school teacher made the statement as the Commons debated a govern- ment bill to expand federal grants to the provinces for tech- nical and vocational training un- der a multi-million-dollar pro- gram launched in 1960 by the former Conservative govern- ment. The bill was approved in prin- ciple--given second reading, Mr. Fisher said the proposed amendments will not provide Canada with the kind of teach- ing setup that is required for the retraining of the unem- ployed. He said the overwhelm- ing proportion of new plants made possible to date by the 1960 legislation has been within the secondary school frame- work, Technical institutes and trade' schools were not being built to provide facilities for the train- ing of unemployed workers. program in this field. BACKS TEACHERS Mr. Fisher threw his support behind a brief pr ted last urging the ealling of a national conference to seek solutions to the inequalities between provin- cial school systems. He said: "We desperately meed an equality of educational opportu- nity in.this country and we can- not do it as long as there is*one part of the country that says no or withdraws itself and insists that the other nine parts, in terms of provinces, have to ac- cept the same basic attitude." Quebec, like many other prov- inces, needs to 'do something desperately about its educa- tion." He was unconvinced that the way Quebec should do it was by cutting itself off from a na- tional. plan or national objec- tives "and in doing this prob- ably scuppering or destroying Quebec Blamed For Unequal Education tional program in thig field," Mr. Fisher said. They would support whole- heartedly the national plan pro- posed by the Teachers' Federa- tion. If a national approach was not acceptable to the people of Quebec a federal - provincial conference should be held. The government should take this step "'so that we can see where we stand, can get the lines drawn and know who are going to co-operate and accept or ask for leadership and con- tributions from the federal gov- ernment and, on the other hand, who are going to go along the line running things on their own."'.. Mr. Fisher said he is con- vinced that the magnitude of the problem is such that it has to be met on a national basis with a national effort. OTTAWA (CP) -- A govern-| Vocational Training Bill Gets 3rd Okay itechnical education plan, But 'it is for the federal govern- ment to propose and the prov- inces to dispose." FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED Under the formula of the ex- isting program, started in 1961, the labor minister said that Quebec has received only $51 for each student in the 15-19 age bracket, while Newfoundland re- ceived $480. The formula had a first-come, first-served clause and a time restriction. The new formula would allow provinces to get up to $480 per capita. of students by 1967 for the congtruction of trade and technical schools, and the assis- tance will be available to pri- vate institutions if the prov- inces agree. Replying to criticism by sev- eral Quebec members, Mr. Mac- Eachen said the change, far from discriminating against Quebec, would allow that prov- ince to catch up with other! provinces in getting the assis- tance. During a long series of speeches on the legislation, there were repeated complaints that because of a different edu- cational structure, Quebec was getting an unfair deal from ex- isting grants, and that too many strings were attached to money made available to provinces for educational purposes. Fred Stenson (PC--Peterbor- ough) complained that the leg- islation would do nothing to as- sit apprenticeship programs in industry and the government should consider some form of aid to apprentices.

Rail Workers Begin Talks MONTREAL (CP) -- Opening talks in the latest round of con- tract negotiations between Can- ada's major railways and 120,- 000 of their employees started Monday. Representatives of the Cana- dian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers (CLC) met with the CNR, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen (CLC) with the CPR, in what were described as ex- ploratory talks in both cases. There was no other comment from any of the parties in- volved. The largest single group of employees -- 80,000 non-operat- ing workers represented by 14 unions--go into joint negotia- ya with the railways Thurs- ay. The Trainmen's Union, repre- senting 20,000 workers, meets with the CNR Friday. The CBRT and its 20,000 members are involved only with the CNR. _ The basic issue in all the talks is wages, as the unions push for what spokesmen have called a share of additional revenue the unions see the railways making because of an upturn in business, due in part to in- creased grain shipments.

' At opposite ends of the rope were Auditor-General Maxwell Henderson and two top business executives who serve on the council--Col. Douglas B. Wel- don of London, Ont., and Mar- cel Faribault of Montreal. The stakes are about $15,000,- 000 in interest and earned on the $50,000,000 fund established in 1957 for the Can- ada Council to distribute to the universities to help pay for new buildings. Mr, Faribault, president and general manager of the General Trust of Canada, described for the committee the method the council uses to distribute the $50,000,000, He said the council intends to use the same method to distribute the interest and profits which have accumulated in the fund since 1957, Mr, Henderson, who is' ap- pointed by Parliament as a watchdog over the spending of public funds, said that {° the council follows this course "I shall. be obliged to state that the law has been broken."
