Some 1,300 among the Chinese detained have been repatriated to Peking in twe ships sent by the Chinese government. Nine hundred prisoners have refused to go back to China.

Bogert Joins British Elite LONDON (CP) -- se SEES UNION MARRIAGE Specifically, Mr, Crowe advo- cates the "marriage" of Cana- dian segments of international unions in parallel fields for ad- ministrative, technical, political and legislative purposes. The constituent unions would con- tinde their collective a ee roles individually, ments would likely evolve. Under his ,plan, the railway unions--18 international unions plus Mr. Crowe's own union-- would form a new Canadian ad- ministrative structure, with new functions and new powers, based directly on the Canadian membership. Similarly, the wood and paper unions come together, as would the various building trade unions. "This rationalizing of the much-divided Canadian segment of the American labor move- ment would accommodate it to the rising demands of Canadian nationalism without necessarily cutting American ties. "The small number of newly 'or oligarchies would be Cana- dian-oriented, providing Cana- dian technical services such as research and education, and would be subject to the Cana- dian membership and generally looking for social and political things to do." POWER HELD BY FEW He contends thet the new al- liances would hoi. in balance, and be held in balance by, their collective bargaining constitu- ents, This refers to a theory held by Mr, Crowe on the basic power structure of democratic trade unions--a theory he calls *|"oligarchic tension." In an oligarchy, power is wielded by a few. Mr. Crowe contends that most unions in North America are ies, although he cites two unions in Canada which appear to be es- sentially democratic --his own union and the Canadian wing of the United Steelworkers of America, These unions, he says, have two reasonably distinct oli- -- within their structure, in the steelworkers, he sees @ power balance between the na- tional Canadian director and the three regional directors, In his own union, there is a balance between the joint protective board, in charge of collective bargaining, and the national ex- *Jecutive board, responsible for union administration, organiza- ition, education and research. The existence of the two coun- ter-balancing blocs, says Mr. jose|Crowe, tends to keep the two unions more alert, active and progressive, more responsive to membership wishes, more toler- ant of dissent, hence mort dem- ocratic, Mr. Crowe concludgs that when the structure of a union is held in balance by two in- ternal power blocs ing in different fields of wor, the vnion is more democratic.

But Denby Dale prefers meat pies-- a habit formed in 1788 when the first great pie was created to mark the joyous recovery of George III from a mental ill- ness. Other, greater pies followed. In 1815 the crusty feast cele- brated the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo; in 1846 the repeal of the Corn Laws. In 1887 the pie was never. eaten because "the smell was so great when it was opened that people were trampled underfoot." A in 1896 celebrated the jubilee of the repeal of the corn laws; in 1928 it was to mark the) end of the First World War--a celebraiton delayed because of food shortages. The organizers haven't yet fis- ured out what next year's pie will celebrate. Explained Neth- erwood:. "People just got round to thinking that it would be a good idea to have one." By. CAMMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer World welcomes new year Peace messages exchanged Cyprus turmoil relaxes The world stepped gingerly into 1964 this week. There was the usual flurny of hope- ful statements and messages, with the emphasis on new steps towards zpeace.

BLAMES U.S. On Monday, Communist China's Chou En-lai had taken the spotlight with a statement that his country was working for peaceful coexistence with all other nations, including those of the West. In a television interview made in Morocco and shown im Paris, the Chinese premier declared that "world war be- tween the Socialist camp wd the imperigXSt camp is not in- evitable,"" He fd it was the United States, China, which cre- ated obstacles to peaceful co- existence.
