This meeting will bring to- gether clergymen of all de- nominations and Trade Union leaders -- an attempt will be made to "relate religious teachings to everyday lives" and the theme of the conven- tion will be 'Economic Planning in a Responsible Society."

James R, Warnica, OF, of the Ontario Regiment, made this statement publicly on New Year's Day in the Armories: "If it wasn't for the Sergeant's Mess there wouldn't be an On- tarto Regiment." WHO'S HOLDING UP THE CAHILL REPORT? _.. When will City Council take a firm stand and demand that "top secrecy" wraps be removed from the recently-completed Cahill Report on the Oshawa Board of Works? Is this important document to be carefully relegated to "the limbo of forgotten things" at City Hall (like the three- year-old-proposed Air Pollution Bylaw) and if so, why? The report -- prepared by Kevin Cahill, new Director of Operations for the City of Oshawa--has been .com- pleted for several weeks but thus far its contents have | been made known officially only to the-three-man Board of Works (Chairman R. Cecil | Bint and Aidermen Norman Down and Clifford. Pilkey) and to Mayor Lyman Gifford. Alderman Down expressed the feelings of many around City Hall Thursday when he said, regarding the docu- ment: "I haven't the faintest idea why this report on the Fe Board of Works Yard by the Director of Operations has MREREAN DOWN not yet seen the light of day, publicly, in the.form of a public release." : Compare Alderman Down's words with those of his Board .colleague, Chairman R. Cecil Bint, which express a ' drastically different viewpoint on the subject. "It is my personal opin- ion," Mr, Bint said Thurs- day, "that this report is highly confidential and strictly an inner-departmen- tal matter -- therefore, its distribution should be re- stricted to His Worship the Mayor and to the Board of Works committee, which has direct jurisdiction over the Board of Works Yard." Mr. Bint, while hinting vaguely at the general con- tents of the report, did not conceal the fact that he ac- cepts it with certain reser- vations. "This report . represents BINT certain observations and im- pressions on the part of 'the Director of Operations, things which he feels are wrong 'and recommendations by him for their correction. I person- 'ally will not fecommend that the report be distributed fur- "ther. His Worship can do this, if he so desires, as can any 'other member, or members, of Council." ' Mr. Bint makes much of the fact that the Cahill report is smerely the opinion of one man, Can this not be said also of 'thie author of the Bladen Report (on auto parts) or the report dy Mr. Justice Roach on Ontario Crime, to name but two? Mr. Cahill was appointed Director (at a salary of $12,900) y Coureil to do a most important job, one of which was to *restore efficiency to the Board of Works Yard operation. The ratepayers won't sit idly by and see the Cahill report ssidelined 'without a most reasonable explanation. + It ig sinderstandable that the author of the report, Mr. 'Cahill--as the servant of City Council--would withhold any pub- *lic comment at least until the Councillors have had a chance do study it, Mr. Cahill's post of Director of Operations was created ollowing recommendations made in the Woods, Gordon Re- sport, which cost the taxpayers of this City approximately "10,500.

The 42-year-old foreign ie uages professor at Harpur C lege in Binghamton, N.Y., had faced three capital murder charges arising from the deaths of his wife and two daughters in an explosion last Oct. 20, Judge Claude Wagner freed his wife Sheila, 43. In a deci- sion based on a study of evi- dence presented during a pre- liminary hearing of the charge, Julge Wagner ruled there were insufficient grounds to send Prof. Haumont to trial. He said evidence presented by the Crown was "circumstantial and raised suspicions, but does resistible conclusion that the ac- eused could be the author of the crime charged to him." "After having considered the proof in its entirety the court, which was guided solely by the law, the proof and my con- science has not the slightest hesiation in declaring that the evidence does not constitute suf- ficient proof to permit me to send the accused to trial.'

Canada Irks US. By HAROLD MORRISON WASHINGTON (CP) -- The U.S. treasury department would like to see some modification in the Canadian withholding tax law but a department official said Friday he does not see much hope of such a change. He made this comment fol- lowing a preliminary meeting between treasury and Canadian finance department authorities to prepare the ground for re- negotiation of the Canada-U.S. tax treaty. No date for opening of formal renegotiations was set but a Canadian official said another round of talks is ex- pected to take place in a month or 80.

The treasury department has described the planned Canadian tax rise to 20 per cent as dis- eriminatory and would like to see it modified. An official has stated he would like to see the rate on both sides returned to five per cent, where it stood in 1960 before Canada decided to move its rate back to 15 per cent and the U.S. automatically took paralle] action. However, there is little hope in the U.S. treasury that Can- ada would agree to such a re- Canadian officials participat- ing in Friday's talks included E. J. Benson, Liberal member of Parliament for Kingston, and nance Minister Walter Gordon, and Ray Irwin, a senior finance department official. Thomson Not Ca nadian Prime Minister States By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- Prime Min- ister Pearson said Friday his government is opposed to rec: ommending titles for Canadians, He referred in a press con- ference after a cabinet meeting to publisher Roy Thomson as "a former Canadian," and con- gratulated him on being made a baron in the Queen's New Year's honors list. But Mr, Pearson pointed out that the hereditary peerage be given Mr, Thomson on the re ommendation of the United Kingdom government, In London earlier this week, Mr. Thomson denied that he had given up his Canadian ci*- izenship to take up British cit- izenship and qualify for the title. Mr, Thomson said he would/in make a full statement of his po- sition in Toronto next week. Mn. Pearson said Canadian government policy on recom- mending titles for Canadians is unchanged. It was his first statement on the subject since his government took office last April 22, and he referred to carrying on the policy observed by other Canadian governments since 1935, POLICY IS SAME "Government policy is un- changed. It is not to make Uniess r tiations are completed this year, the U.S. withholding rate on dividends repatriated to Canada would rise next January to 30 per cent from the present 15 per cent. RESULTS FROM CHANGES This results from tax changes. The present Cane- dian withholding rate is reduced to 10 per cent from 15 on U.S. companies operating in Canada and offering at least 25 per cent of their stock to Canadian in- vestors. The Canadian rate goes up to 20 per cent next January for companies which do not of- fer this 25-per-cent minimum to Canadians. As the treaty now stands, any Vancouver Port Hosts 97 Ships VANCOUVER (CP) -- The port of Vancouver was host to ja record 57 ships Friday but it lacked the men to service them. |The concern was. reflected - in \top-level meetings attended by |Trade and Commerce Minister Sharp. Agents for the vessels called for 148 longshore gangs, about 1,180 men, but the International Longshoremen's and Ware- housemen's Union (CLC) could supply only 70 gangs--560 men. Six ships lay at anchor await- berths were idle, lacking long- shore crews. The trade minister's concern as two days of discussion began was, however, limited to wheat movements. He said in a press conference wheat is being loaded at a record rate but an as efficiently as it could be. Among the 57 ships were 22 grain vessels, only eight of them loading. Mr. Sharp 'laid no blame on the longshoremen, who were represented at the meetings along with the railways, term- inal operators, national' harbors improvements" are necessary here to handle larger ships and the increasing flow of seeking Pacific routes.
