\ 2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, March 7, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- HOLLINGSWORTH HEADS RIDING LIBERALS So Sam Hollingsworth, the Dunbarton high school teacher, is the new president of thé Ontario (Federal) Riding Liberal Association? : More than 104 turned up at the annual meeting in the Kathleen Rowe Public School, Whitby, for the annual meet- ing Thursday night -- it wasn't a large turnout (in- clement weather didn't help), but it was large enough to show there is-still plenty of life 'in the ORLA yet. Mr. Hollingsworth -- he was a last-minute entry against Dr. Matthew B. Dy- mond in Oshawa (Provincial) Riding last September--is a dedicated party worker and organizer with a pleasing platform manner--he had ' di pledged to devote much time e to re-organizing the asso- SAM HOLLINGSWORTH ciation, an exhaustive job that will require a man of Mr.. Hollingsworth's talents. He replaces Mr. William Lawson, the Ajax lawyer, who was admited to Oshawa General Hospital Thursday, He suffered from a heart ailment, his second attack in 12 months. MR. CAHILL IS THE SERVANT OF CITY COUNCIL What's new with Mr. Kevin Cahill? The City's Director of Operations was discussed Tuesday night at a special meeting of Council-in-committee -- as a result, he will have a new department under his aegis Mon- day, Engineering. That's progress, be it ever so slow. Yet the thought persists in several off-Council circles that the director is not getting as much support on Council as his job merits, despite lip service to the contrary ('We voted him into the job, didn't we?") Is he merely tolerated on Council instead of being solidly accepted? If Council's avowed support of the new director has been greeted with pronounced skepticism by some, where does the blame lie? Most of our councillors have been unnecessarily silent, evasive when questioned about the director's activities ('It's almost like asking them for a quote on 'Fanny Hill,'" said one disgruntled scribe. "They hedge, haw and procrastinate.") Aldermen like John Dyer almost regard it as an intrusion on Mr. Cahill's personal privacy to inquire about his official activities ('We gave him a job to'do -- why don't we leave him alone?"). This sounds like sage advice, but will Coun- cil itself leave him alone as long as he produces? Will it give him a fair chance to do a good job? These same councillors appointed him, but were they not influenced by overwhelming public concern that something had to be done about our antiquated municipal government set-up which was, and still is, in a sad state? The Woods, Gordoin Report recommended that the Direc- tor co-ordinate five departments (Personnel, Purchasing, Board of Works Yard, Engineering and Parks, Property and Recreation) so what did Council do when the post was ' created? It immediately chopped down the Director's do- main to three departments (Alderman John Brady explained rather lamely that Personnel and Purchasing should not be under the Director because this was not the way GM would do it. Since when did GM restrict efficiency in its opera- tions?) Aldermen Branch, Rundle, Bint, Pilkey, Murdoch, » Attersley, Brady, Gey have all endorsed this curtailment of power by their mere silence. Chairman R, Cecil Bint of the Board of Works Committee did answer some questions put to him by this department about the director's activities but his replies were fragmen- tary at best, not designed to enlighten. He admitted the Board of Works Yard was overstaffed (a matter that disturbs local taxpayers no end and one that should be thoroughly probed before the next election), but he qualified this by .gtating that his reply was based solely on reports made by Mr. Cahill. Does the chairman with so much Board of Works committee experience rely for such information on a Director appointed last October? | Mr. Cahili's Works Yard Report is bottled up with Mr. Bint's committee -- his Parks, Property Report is bottled up { with another committee, which seems to be as far as they will ever get with this Council. One alderman was apprehensive Friday. He feared Mr. Cahill's new supervisory role over Engineering would create "some problems". Such concern is understandable, and diplomacy must be exercised in such major departmental ' transitions, yet the thought persists that Mr. Cahill should ' be able to handle such matters; otherwise he is not the man ' for the job. : The best guess is that he can, and will succeed if the : majority on Council have the good sense to give him the sup- port needed for such a responsible position. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE William Boddy of Oshawa was elected a director of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association this week in Toronto, where the OMEA and the Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities held their 55th. annual meeting. . . . The Oshawa Builders' Association is one of the few local groups that go to the trouble of publicly thanking elected representatives and departmental heads at the municipal level for services rendered -- their annual Civie Night will be held Tuesday, March 17, in the Hotel Genosha, MAYOR REGAINS SOME OF HIS OLD BOUNCE The news out of Room 429, St. Michael's Hospital, 'Toron- to (some staffers call it 'The Little City Hall") was rosy this week for a change. That's where Mayor Lyman Gifford of Oshawa has been waging a successful fight to regain his health, despite some tense moments. ' eee Dr. W. G. Y. Grant, the mayor's personal physician, made the big announcement Thursday His Worship had recovered from '"'com- plications" from recent surg- ery, but visiting would con- tinue to be restricted. This was the best news out of Room 429 since Mayor Gifford entered it on the night of Thursday, January 30. There were other hearten- ing signs that the energetic Squire of Sydenham Farm (born June 25, 1903) was over the hump ,off the criti- cal list and, slowly round- ing into. his old fighting form -- he personally phoned MAYOR GIFFORD a} least four City Hall staff- ers this week for some light chit-chat, All noticed much of the old bounce in the Gifford voice, if he still sounded weak. He has wisely delegated ail official duties to Acting Mayor Hayward Murdoch. It will be several weeks at least beforé he can even think of any serious work resumption, despite encouraging bulle- tins, etc. i It's hard to keep a good man down, will ,bave te go slow, ' j but. His Worship OTTAWA (CP) -- Finance Minister Gordon presented the Commons Friday with a $240,- 884,747 bill to wrap up the gov- ernment's spe program for the fiscal year ending March 31. He also served notice of a $76,000,000 increase in his bud- get deficit for the year resulting from adjustments in the armed forces pension fund. An official estimate of the 1963-64 deficit won't be known until! Mr. Gordon's budget speech, expected in three to six weeks, But the size of the final appropriation bill, combined with the $76,000,000 pension fund item, added strength to specula- tion that the deficit will top the $700,000,000 mark. The Ps pcg Aa request -- which not include the $76,- 000,000 --brings to $6,860,020,- 247 the budgetary estimates Parliament has been asked to vote for the year. Thus it appears that actual government spending in 1963-64 will come close to the $6,845,- 000,000 forecast by Mr. Gordon in his last budget, since actual outlays in some fields fall short of the estimates voted by Par- liament. OMITS PENSIONS The total of budgetary. esti- mates for the year doesn't in- clude an estimated $807,000,000 in universal $75 old age pen- sions which aren't counted in budget accounts. Mr. Gordon's basic spending program for next fiscal year starting April 1, presented last Tuesday, is $6,703,513,508 in bud- getary estimates and $882,000,- 000 in old age pension costs. Supplementary estimates dur- ing 1964-65 will raise this total considerably. Friday's addition to current year's expenditures brought supplementary esti- mates forthe year to a total Expect Budget To Top '$700 Million Former Congexvative finance; minister Geo! Nowlan, com- menting on the more than $240,- 000,000 added Friday, compared Mr. Gordon with Atlas who tried to hold up the sky. "The sky has fallen. . . on the minister," Mr. Nowlan said. He added that Mr. Gordon had taken some of the pressure off his next year's budget defi- cit by charging some $48,400,- 000 to this year's expenditures. COVERS DECLINES Mr. Gordon told the Com- mons this amount covers a de- cline in inventory values of but- ter, butter oil and pork pur- chased under price support pro- tural stabiliation board. The $48,400,000 is included in a $122,235,000 item to cover losses by the stabiliation board. This was the latgest item in the supplementary es- timates. Other major items: $43,013,- 517 for the CNR's 1963 deficit, $13,653,000 for the RCAF, $11,- 000,000 for civil service pay, $5,500,000 in special aid to de- fence industry, $5,798,706 for municipal sewer projects, and $3,914,600 for coal transporta- tion subsidies. Mr. Gordon also announced a new policy to deal with a long- standing problem: the increase in deficiencies in various civil service superannuation accounts representing added . liabilities resulting from general pay in- creases in recent years. Mr. Gordon said that deficien- cies arising before last April 1, including a $524,800,000 defi- ciency in the armed forces sup- erannuation account, would be charged up against the govern- ment's debt. Deficiencies arising from gen-) eral pay increases in the civil) ser ice since last April 1 would) be charged off--once their ex-| $552,813,002--larger than any in the last decade, tent was known--over a_five-| year period starting next year. WASHINGTON (CP) -- The United States and European Common Market Commission pledged Friday to do their ut- most to achieve agreement at the Kennedy round of world tariff bargaining to open at Geneva May 4. A U.S. spokesman said after two days of talks that he is con- vinced that France will be a "very tough" negotiator at the bargaining table but will not torpedo the negotiations as had been rumored in some reports published in London. Both sides indicated they still have a lot to settle before they get down to concrete bargain- ing, The outstanding difficulties include methods of handling un- usually high U.S. tariffs on some goods as part of over-all negotiations and the question of whether the common market! will be able to negotiate lower| tariffs on agricultural products. The American 5 poke sman said the U.S. still insists the| common market' must include! US. Preps For Tariff Talks agricultural products as part of] any over-all bargaining. A communique expressing 'strong determination" to achieve success at the negotia- ting table was issued by the two sides following the confidential talks, | The communique emphasized the importance of achieving "a substantial equilinear tariff re- duction with a bare minimum of exceptions." Canada has thrown its full support behind the Kennedy conference, expressing willing- ness to pay for any benefits re- ceived through tariff cuts on in- dividual Canadian items. The 'exceptions'? which the U.S. will not negotiate cover im- port restrictions imposed as a result of U.S. peril point and other means of curbing foreign competition that threatens to destroy domestic production. | The U.. spokesman said he U.S. would not have a complete list of these exceptions ready for May 4. He presumed they would be ready soon thereafter, WEATHER FORECAST | Sunny, Cool grams and held Ly the agricul- ' On Weekend Forecasts issued by the Tor-| Northern Georgian Bay,| onto weather office at 5.30 a.m.: Synopis: A few showers or |snowflurries this evening will be followed by clear and colder weather tonight, Mainly sunny and cool weather is expected in southern and central Ontario Sunday but skies will cloud over jlate in the day due to another \disturbance that is expected to move north-eastward from Texas.

(CP Wirephoto) MONTREAL (CP) -- The world's airlines have setup their own police-like squad to deal with a Mafia-tinged black mar- ket in internationalairline ticket sales. Fraud Prevention Group, The International Air Trans- port Association. announced for- mation of the new group at a press conference Friday, and named Col. J. L. Ford of Lon don to head it, Col. Ford is a member of the staff of British Overseas Airways Corporation. Working with Interpol, the 13- man IATA fraud group will at- tempt to deal with ticket swin- dies that in the past 14 monhs have cost airlines $2,500,000. Col. Ford said his group has jus ended a week's studies in Montreal the racket as much as possible. He said the group has the situation "well under contrul" and that it will be difficult for the ticket swindlers to move in on honest airline agents from now on.' PUBLICITY HELPED He declined to go into details about the steps planned against the swindlers, but said publicity given to the racket has already resulted in the thwarting of some fraud attempts. Col. Ford said the racket ap- | peared to have headquarters in London and Paris, and appar- ently had Mafia connections Evidence of frauds had been uncovered in. London, Milan, Beirut, Toronto, Montreal, Buenos Aires, New York, .Flor- ida, Paris and Geneva. Several known suspects were being sought. He said one man was convicted and is serving a jail sentence in Switzerland * He said Trans-Canada Air lines uncovered an operation in Toronto and the investigation resulted in the arrest of a sus- pect, Col. Ford said most of the frauds followed the pattern of the one recently in Montreal when Greek immigrants were swindled of several thousand dollars by a travel agency becoming light this evening and southwest 20 Sunday.

The death of King Paw' auto- matically made his only son, Crown Prince Constantine, io, the new ruler of this Atlantic ane nation of 8,500,000 peo- le. ' Under the Greek constitution, Constantine became king in- stantly through right of succse- sion. By the same constitution the moment he took the oath of office he was able to perform royal duties. Greece's constitu- tional monarchs require no cor- onation, Tle pledged immediately to guard Greece's democratic re- gime and serve "the highest in- terests of the people." Speaking in firm voice, young King Constantine told the peo- ple of the country Friday he had told his father of their pray- ers for him before his death. "My father replied to me 'I thank them and I take leave of them,'" he said. "King Paul thanks you and you farewell. Long lie Greece." He said he whe succeeding to the throne "'with the pledge to follow my father's example and fulfill my duties, inspired by his | virtues."' To the world at large, Con- stantine is probably best known for his diversions. In 1960 he won for his country a gold me- dal for yachting at the Rome Olympics. He was the first Greek of the 20th century to bring home to --|this ancient birthplace of the Olympics a top Olympic honor, In line with long tradition, Ath- ens took down a bit of the city's ancient wall to welcome him home, 'Constantine, as prince, was Greece's chief boy scout and be- came a familiar figure to scouts ffom around the world who at- tended the international boy scout jamboree at Marathon in August, 1963. He also is a devotee of the sports car. He was a familiar sight as he piloted his cars over the streets and roads of his country.

Now he is commander-in-chief of all thc Greek military forces, He also now plays a political role, particularly in times of government crisis when he names premiers. King Paul took pains to school his son in this area, In the last weeks of King Paul's life, the father made cer- tain that the son was kept clos- lely briefed on developments '> the explosive Cyprus issue. .The day before he underwent his stomach operation on Feb. 21 King Paul made Constantine re- gent. When Paul came down later with the complications that ended his life, Constantine dealt with government officials through the period of crisis. Constantine is six feet three inches tall and ramr-d straight. But his manner 1s engaging, not stiff or standoffish. He smiles easily and often and, like his father, moves among his peo- ple without standing on cere- mony. INTERPRETING THE NEWS By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Grandeur and schoolboy petti- hess coexist in the lonely emin- ence that is General Charles de} As on misty nights the Eiffel Tower seems detached from its base, loominge thereally over Paris, so the Gaullist personal- ity creates a disembodied effect, floating high above the heads of ordinary mortals. There he sits brooding, twirl- ing the globe in his big hands, concentrating on the day before yesterday and the day after to- morrow, challenging the United States from Peking to Panama. Then crash--down he comes to earth, betraying the Olym- pian facade with an oddly nig- gling act, such as his decision this week to keep his socialist rival for the presidency, Gaston Defferre, off French radio, tele- vision and even news bulletins until two weeks before an elec- tion not due untif next year.

A much harsher indictment, unrelated ot the most recent de- cisions, came earlier from Gor- don Brook-Shepherd, TV critic of the Sunday Telegraph, a Lon- don paper. CONTROL UNIQUE "Gaullist France," he wrote after a visit, "has become the first Western country to con- struct a stat-controlled infor- mation apparatus whose mass propaganda potential exceeds that of the pre-war dictators, and approaches that of the pres- ent-day Communists." The government reply - has been that TV and radio consti- tute an essential balance against the press of France, which is regarded in the main as hostile ot the regime, Mean- while, the administration is building up provincial TV net- works, and there are reports of subtle pressure on provincial newspaper editors. é Such examples of Gaullist touchiness can be found th many spheres of French life, and contrast with the grandiose claims the regime makes for itself. imitated by comedian Henri Ti- sot--constitute his outstanding political weapon, his chief means of reaching the public.
