2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturdey, Jonuary 18, 1964 'GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- OTTAWA (CP)--"The Third BIG ELECTIONS UPCOMING FOR LOCAL 222 : Speaking of important upcoming elections: Albert Victor "Abe" Taylor, 36-year-old president of the 15,500-member Local 222, UAW-CLC, announced today that the number of GM delegates (locally) to the UAW Constitutional Convention in Atlantic City, N.J., (starting March 20) will be increased from 13 to 15. There will also be five additional district delegates (two from Houdailie, two from "Duplate and one from the balance of the local). . President Taylor drew at- tention to the following: 1, -- The incoming 7-man Election committee of the Local -- which will supervise and arrange for all elections in the next two years -- will = be elected Thursday, Febru- ary 6. The entire membership @ has a vote. 2. -- Elections will be held February 12, 13 and M4 (such details as places, times, etc., to be ironed out) for: ' THE TOP GG BARGAIN- ING COMMITTEE (7 dis- trict committeemen and one q me chairman) to negotiate the STEVE MELNICHUK next agreement with General Motors of Canada. UAW CONVENTION ATLANTIC CITY DELEGATES (executives elected, such as President. Walter Reuther, and policy formed). CANADIAN LABOR CONGRESS CONVENTION DELE- GATES in Montreal week of April 20 (nine GM, one Duplate, one Houwdaille, one from balance of Local). Steve Melinchuk said today that he is resigning as chair- man of the Election committee after four consecutive years to devote more time to the Duplate (Canada) Ltd. unit of the Local. He has agreed to stay on the job until the above elections are completed -- he pointed out that the turnouts at recent elections of the Local have been increasing. An alltime high total of 7,500 voted in the Executive elections last May when President Taylor and his Democratic Right- Wing slate was returned. CONVENTION TAB IRKS SCARBORO TRUSTEE Fellow trustees spent more than $13,100 last year on the international convention trail to far-off places like Miami Beach (hae you ever had dinner under the palms at the Eden Roc?), Denver, Seattle, Atlantic City, Winnipeg and Quipped Mr. Bleasdell: "If you want to see the North American continent get elected to the Scarboro Board of Edu- cation." Poor Mr, Bleasdell! He thinks this $13,000 figure is astronomical, but is it, if you consider it on a population retio with a small, growing municipality like Oshawa? Scarboro has a population of 226,076 (1962) as compared with Oshawa's 65,677 (1964), but Oshawa's Board of Educa- tion need not take a back seat in the convention-spending department for its trustees, if tabulations are based on popu- lation. Why not an annual plaque for competition between the two boards, sponsored by. the travel agencies ("To the most- travelled trustees on the North American continent Scar- boro- Oshawa during 1964")? In all fairness, Oshawa Board of Education only budgeted for about $4,000 for trustees' convention expenses last year $25 per day, plus travelling expenses) -- in addition, there were convention expenses of principals, teachers and Board officials, some of which amounts are classified under the heading, 'Professional Development" in the list of expendi- tures. In ali fairness, some trustees never spend a cent on con- ventions, which leaves far more for colleagues who visit far- off places. Mr. Bleasdell moved two motions for Scarboro -- to limit U.S. trips to one per year and to limit convention expenses to $1,000 per year, per trustee. Would such travel restrictions be too severe, unfair for some of our trustees? WORKS YARD COULD BECOME KEY ELECTION ISSUE Whatever became of the Cahill Report, that much-dis- puted, much-discussed survey of the City's Board of Works Yard operation prepared by Kevin Cahill, Director of Oper- ations? The report, closely wrapped in secrecy, has been in the hands of City Councillors for more than a week (Mayor Ly- man Gifford and the three-man Board of Works committee has had it for more than a month). City Council, almost to a man, had done an admirable job of completely ignoring the report publicly thus far, at least, like the proverbial ostrich who buried his head in the African sands at the sound of approaching danger. Council may be justified in withholding the contents tem- porariiy at least, but how long will it continue to act as though the report was non-existent? The touchy document will be discussed at a meeting of Council-of-the-Whole in committee next Thursday night, which means that this will be an off-the-record pow-wow presumably with Mr. Cahill in at- tendance. Much offCouncil pessimism persists regarding final des- tination of the report, the fear being that it will be pigeon- holed into the "received and filed" archives to gather dust with other such documents. The public will be watching what action Council takes after next Thursday's meeting -- the Board of Works Yard, like the City Engineering Department, have long been in need of a major re-organization, which could undoubtedly re- sult in a saving of thousands of tax dollars annually. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Tom Van Dusen, former executive assistant to "Mike" Starr whén the latter was Minister of Labor, is one of three executive assistants to John Diefenbaker (B. T.

World War is over, without a shot having been fired." The speaker was a senior offi- cial in the defence department. Another authority said: "What we're in now is a sort of co-operative unilateral dis- armament. The United States announces a defence cut. Then Russia does. And we do our lit- tle bit." Is the present East - West detente really this heady? It is obvious, officials said, that neither the U.S. nor Russia nor any other power has dis- mantied anything military which it considers vital to its security. But military reductions are nonetheless being made. Wit- ness President Johnson's state- ment in his State of the Union message that production of en- riched uranium will be cut 25 per cent "'even in the absence of agreement" with Russia. MAKES CUTS Defence Minister Hellyer has seized on the detente to make major reductions in Canada's military establishment. "It is true that in the world scale of armaments our reduc- tions don't amount to much, if anything," one official said. "But it is also true that with- out the present detente and a Third World War Lacked One Shot general feeling in West and East that military cuts are in order, we'd have found it more difficult or impossible to make reductions of our own," The official who maintains that the "Third World War" is over explained that in his view this doesn't presage world dj armament, All it realized a nuclear would be suicide. "We now should be consider- ing how to fight the Fourth World War,' he said. He meant, he said, a conflict with Communist China. ISN'T FOCAL POINT Informed sources said it is becoming more and more ap- parent that central Europe is no longer NATO's focal point in defence planning. : What does this mean for Can- ada? Mr. Hellyer has already indi- cated that less emphasis will be placed on the RCAF's nuclear strike force in Europe, ' Informants said jit may be possible eventually to bring all 12,000 Canadian dependents home from Europe and rotate troops in that theatre every six months with an expanded air transport command. This would make possible further large savings in. maintenance costs. OTTAWA (CP) -- The federal government will be asked shortly to legalize the dissemin- ation and advertising of contra- ceptives, the newly - formed Canadian Federation of Societ- ies on Population Planning said Friday. John E. MacNab of Ottawa, a vice-president of the federa- tion, said in an interview he was asked to prepare a brief for submission to Prime Min- lister Pearson. and the justice minister. The brief will ask for a re- peal of a clause in section 150 of the Criminal Code of Can- ada, which prohibits the sale, advertising and "having for dis- posal' of contraceptives. He said the clause reflects a hypocritical, 19th - century at- titude. "Hundreds of drug stores vio- late the law daily with infre- quent prosecution," he added. The federation was founded at a Toronto meeting Wednes- Group Seeks Change In Contraceptive Law of planned parenthood associa- tions in Ottawa, Toronto, Ham- ilton and Vancouver, Also at- tending _ were representatives from Kingston and Edmonton who, are in the process of form- ing groups in their cities. IS PRESIDENT Rev. Dr. Frank Fidler, a United Church minister in Tor- onto, was elected president. Since contraceptives were} readily available in Canada de-| spite the law, the federation's main concern was to permit so- cial welfare agencies to dis- pense birth control information to families interested in birth control. The federation would also like} to see Canadian delegates at) the United Nations give support to proposals aimed at dissem- inating birth control informa- tion in overpopulated countries, he said, | Until now the Canadian dele-) gation has abstained from UN debates and votes on the ques- tion of birth control.

People shouldn't depend on construction industry is sub- jected "'to a multitude of taxes and assored imposts levied by the three levels of government in Canada," This brought on additional problems: '. . . The keeping of records, making of payments, claiming of refunds, obtaining interpretations, rulings, profes- sional advice, and resolving of disputes." George Moller, vice - presi- dent of Robertson-Irwin Limited of Hamilton, said the recently- imposee sales tax on building materials has actually doubled the clerical work in the con- struction industry, The associatign, representing more than 1,000 construction firms, made a sweeping series of recommendations to tighten up, and ease the financial wal- lop of, the Income Tax Act. Many of the complaints in- volved "sections of the act that are concerned only with the complexities of the building business -- complicated prob- lems that have challenged ac- countants for years. SOME ARE GENERAL But some of the proposals were general: The sales tax should be removed from build- ing materials and machinery, Tax Barrage Hurts Construction Firms income taxes should be brought down, fiscal policies should be used more as an economic lever, and there should be ad- vanced notice of tax changes. Association President T. A. Somerville of Toronto said the construction industry has been lagging behind the growth of over-all industry in recent years and now it has substantial surplus capacity, "Once the deferments have been caught up, it should be re- membered by those responsible for fiscal, monetary and public investment policies that -most construction projects require a good deal of advance planning. Recognition of this factor will be most helpful in achieving a more stable rate of growth and operations in the construction industry and the related eco- nomics, o.3.:°."" The association said that if it isn't possible to remove the tax from construction mater- ials and, equipment, a new col- lection system should be estab- lished whereby a single tax is levied on the completed con- struction project. It was a book- keeping nightmare under the present system with taxes being lapplied at every stage of con- struction. FISHER ASKS CANADIANS OTTAWA (CP) -- Centennial Commissioner John Fisher said Friday Canadians should use their own talents, or at least hire Canadian advisers, to plan 1967 celebrations, "Te we're going to have a birthday party, let's bake our own cake," he said. "The best fun in having a birthday party is preparing for it--~and not call- ing in the caterers." Mr. Fisher was interviewed on the move by some commu- nities, notably Fort Erie, Ont., to hire United States show busi- ness people to plan their cen-| tenary celebrations. | There is a wealth of talent available among Canadians to do the job, he said. If a town doesn't want to entrust it to a local person, it can get help from the larger centres. Most of the big Canadian ad- vertising agencies have know- ledge of how to organize a par- ade, put on an exhibition or dig into the past history of small centres for centenary ideas.

It is also trying to encour- age every community, national and local organizations, sports bodies, cultural groups, and ev- ery other body bringing to- gether Canadian men, women, and -- especially -- children, to start now to plan for 1967 celebrations. - Canada's prominent show bus-; iness people already are rap- idly being employed in major projects. Toronto actor-director Mavor Moore is artistic director of this year's Charlottetown program. Tom Patterson of Stratford Shakespearean fame is advising on a roving International Arts Festival for 1967, John Pratt of the wartime Navy Show is sup- ervising all aspects of the en- tertainment program for the world's fair in Montreal. INTERPRETING THE NEWS By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer French President Charles de Gaulle .is reported ready to rec- ognize Red China and President; Johnson is ready to let go with a mighty blast at Paris when de Gaulle makes his official an- nouncement. This new diplomatic develop- ment, with its unsettled under- currents, is likely to deépen dis- cord between Paris and Wash- ington. While Britain and a few other Western allies rec munist China, none of the ma- jor Western allies have taken the step since the Korean War. There fore, eyes, de Gaulle's decision will be the first major gesture in the nature of a rapport with the Chinese, opening new fissions in in Washington - Americans Ponder de Gaulle Realism venge against the U.S. for at- tempting to wean away West Germany and Italy, but is thinking in terms of a "grand design" for the realistic world the allies may have to face in the decades ahead, SAYS POLICY WRONG De Gaulle maintains ft is a mistake to deal with the Soviet Union and the Chinese. Reds at, arm's length, that it is better to bring them into the western living room, to expose them to' daily Western consultations and" exchanges and so reduce the' Communist frustrations that could lead to trouble, ? With this the U.S. agrees. That is why Washington is pur- suing a policy of maintaining as many open and direct lines? to Moscow as possible. But the U.S, also believes < there is a' deep split between the Russians' and the Chinesé Reds and that! it would be better to support the" Soviet view of coexistance than the Western alliance and bring- ing up the question of just how long the U.S. can effectively continue to battle against the admittance of Red China to the United Nations. TWO VIEWS While some American authori- ties cannot discuss the prospec- tive French move except in terms of boiling rage, there are at least two views developing in U.S. diplomatic quarters, one of which gives hope that the discord can be modified and contained, The old argument is that de Gaulle is indeed pursuing a mis- chievous role in relations with the anglo-saxons, his way of de- scribing the British and the! Americans. He had slammed the door on Britain's entry into the Euro- pean Common Market in a most embarrassing public way a year ago and now he is about to embarrass the new U.S. pres- ident with public recognition of, the Chinese just at a time when Johnson's foreign policy is showing signs of weakness in the Panama crisis. The other view, and this ap- pears to be a growing one, is that de Gaulle is not seeking re- Federal Bond Issue 'Over-Subscribed' OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment's $350,000,000 bond issue has been over-subscribed, Fi- nace Minister Gordon's office announced today. In addition to a $50,000,000 is. sue of five-per-cent bonds due June 1, 1988, the offering brought $65,000,000 from 314-per- cent bonds due Feb. 1, 1965 $105,000,000 of 3% - per - ce nt bonds due Feb. 1, 1966; and $130,000,000 of 414 - per - cent bonds due Jan, 15, 1968. the Chinese threat to solve in-' ternational disputes by force. Yet there also is tecognition in Washington that de Gaulle is toying with the idea of play- ing a larger role in Asia, to reopen French influ- ence in Laos, Cambodia and South Viet Nam. The United States is in deep; trouble in this area and has. been hoping her Western allies" would lend a hand. De Gaulle's® argument is that you cannot hope to resolve issues unless: you are able to talk openly and_ directly to the Chinese Commu-. nist regime, This is the kind of realism, that thoughtful Americans find: hard to dismiss. Yet Congress is . strongly opposed to a closer U.S. relationship with the main- land when American sympathy is strongly entwined with the aspirations of the Nationalist' government on Formosa. De Gaulle's recognition of #e Chinese is not going to go over well with the U.S. legislative body and the state department and White House likely will rally? around Congress during this presidential election year.
