pir Sma 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, June 15, 196% i i i il i i a aa se 44 Escape GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- "CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE HAS HEADACHES Time is running out on the Oshawa Centennial Planning committee, with some far-reaching decisions to be made within the next three or four weeks. The 12-man committee (headed by the genial William Hart) and City Council are in somewhat the same positions . * gs judges at a baby show -- they can not win, regardless of ' which decision, or decisions, arrived at, + Their only hope is that their final ruling , will at least appease the majority, no easy assignment when something like $200,000 in Centennial funds is to be dispersed, They must make their submissions to City Council not later than July 15 when our elected represent- atives can wrestle with the problem for final decision. This last-minute pressure on such an important occas- ion was to be expected--Osh- awa City Council (like coun- cils all over the province) knew many months ago that WILLIAM : some concrete planning BARE would be needed for Centen- nial Year 1967, but indecision took over and valuable time was lost. Even the casual observer can sense the gigantic tug-of- war that has already developed. behind committee room doors locally as the more ambitious civic groups (all dedi- cated persons secure in the knowledge that their particular recommendation is more in keeping with the true spirit of Centennial year than any of the others) press their cause. For instance, there were audible cries of shock, yes, even horror, when somebody suggested that at least some of the Oshawa Centennial fund should be used for*the establishment of a downtown comfort station--Sudbury's City Council wants their fund to be used for a new police station, to further illustrate how tastes can vary. Other local recommendations have asked for a zoo at Lakeview Park, additions to the Oshawa Civic Auditorium in the way. of a swimming pool and an Arts centre, includ- ing a theatre for the Arts; another was for a 600-seat theatre for a symphony orchestra. All in all, there were some 19 briefs submitted by last week to the committee. A member of the committee said last week that it was his "personal opinion" that the majority favors "one main project," on which all money in the Centennial Fund would be spent. The 12-man committee under Mr. Hart has established some useful yardsticks to be followed in appraising the merit of all recommendations but it should proceed with caution before recommending that all the money be put in one basket for one project. The committee would be unwise to make any recommend- ations that would earmark all this money for the establish- ment of some kind of "culture centre" at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, to the exclusion of more populous areas -- some of the latter are urgently in need of such things as commun- ity swimming pools for children located nearby their homes, not two or three miles distant (which makes their use prac- tically prohibitive for those of tender years). The Centennial memorial need not be a swimming pool, but it should take the form of a memorial that has the widest possible appeal, keeping in mind as much ag possible the true spirit of the year. : Today is the deadline for submission of ideas. WOULD RELIEVE POLICE OF PARKING METERS Police Chief I, L. Robertson of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. is annoyed: He doesn't think police officers should be asked to "police" parking meters because its "undignified and time- consuming"'. 2 He raised the question last week in Kingston at the annual convention of the Chief Constables' Association of Ontario (attended by Chief Herbert Flintoff of : Oshawa), but he didn't get : much support, especially with his resolution which stated: i "Parking meters have + become a business with all ; municipalities and have no : place in the police services. ' Particularly where parking authorities should have the responsibility of meters, both for enforcement and collect- ion." Delegates voted 'no ac- CHIEF FLINTOFF tion", although they agreed in essence with the spirit of it ("What's the purpose of endorsing it," said one delegate "when it won't be accepted elsewhere outside the conven- tion room?") The chief constables saw an exhibit of two telytype machines of the type to be used in the new communications system among Ontario police departments. The machines were set up so they could dial CNR-CPR communication offi- ces around the country. An operator dialed Vancouver for a reporter and was connected in less than four seconds. . "Think of the advantage of such a system in an emerg- ency," said Eric Silk, commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police. ' "Criminals now ignore area jurisdictions -- it's very im- portant that police forces remain in close communication." WHY NOT BUS GARAGE AT AIRPORT? COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT (Municipal Division): An irate reader has phoned to inquire why the PUC wants to 'spend $220,000 for a new storage and repair garage for its buses (which amount has already been debentured for) when it could make use of some of the available space at the municipally-operated Oshawa.,Airport, which cost the tax- payers $17,317 last year ($17,550 has been budgeted for this year.) This sounds like an excellent idea, but it will likely be junked. Our free-spending Council and PUC doesn't appear faintly interested in economy, although they' may pretend to be with an election upcoming. The Airport is restricted at present to "aeronautical uses'"' by the Dominion Transport Board, which rents it to the City for $1 per year. Alderman Clifford Pilkey stood up recently and asked Council why it could not request Ottawa to amend the lease so as to allow wider usage of the. Airport, and thus reduce the City's deficit? His plea fell on deaf ears. Council won't do anything to upset.the Airport setup, Plane Crash At Malton TORONTO (CP)--Three pas- sengers were slightly injured and 38 other passengers es- caped unhurt after a four-en- gine Air Canada Viscount air- plane crash-landed at Interna- tional Airport here Saturday. None of the three crew mem- bers were injured. The three injured, all released from hospital after treatment Saturday night, were: Michael Lacchio of Hamilton, who suf- fered contusions to his left foot and ankle: Donald Verinot of suburban Downsview, slight contusions; and Salvatore Chip- elloni of Tornoto, a bruised left ankle, é An Air Canada spokesman said Flight 3277 from Montreal to Toronto veered to the left as it came in for a landing, clipped some trees and she off one wing as it crashed through a snow fence. There was no fire, William Kirkpatrick, 38, vice- president of a Toronto advertis- ing agency who was on the plane, said he was dozing when the plane prepared to land. "I was awakened by a loud crash," he said in an inter- view." It seemed as though the aircraft lost its power on the left side. Some people were screaming and shouting, but generally there wasn't much panic." He said some people filed out the doors and others knocked out the emergency exit windows to escape. - "Everybody was clear of the plane in less than two minutes," he added. MARKHAM, Ont. (CP)--Wil- liam Mears, 28, and Richard Tanner, 52, both of Scarbor- outh, a Toronto suburb, were killed Saturday when their sin- gle-engine Piper Colt airplane crashed in a field near here. Police said it was reported the plane went into a spin and came straight down. Police said Mears was a fly- ing instructor and Tanner was taking lessons but it is not known who was flying the plane at the time of the accident. Markham is on the northeast- em outskirts of Metropolitan Toronto, Rights Snubs Bring Priest Bishop Fight LOS ANGELES (AP)--Scores of supporters cheered Sunday a young Roman Catholic priest who has asked Pope Paul VI to remove James Francis Cardinal Mcintyre for alleged failure to take a stand on civil rights. The cheering came when Rev. William H. DuBay, 29, appeared outside St, Albert the Great Church in suburban Compton, after he had celebrated a mass for the predominantly Negro congregation, After making public last week his letter to the Pope urging re- moval of Cardinal Mclntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles, Father DuBay was relieved as administrator at the church but not from his priestly duties. A spokesman for the cardinal said no disciplinary action was taken. The cardinal has not commented on the incident, Catholics, many of them Ne- gro, from other parts of the Los | Angeles area attended the mass. A dozen supporters of the priest circulated outside, carrying banners. Many persons signed petitions lying on tables in front of the church. 'The petitions, to the Pope, urged him "'to provide his archdiocese . . . with effective Catholic leadership in the pres- reece VISCOUNT WRECK AT MALTON By RUSSELL ELMAN OTTAWA (CP)--The curtain goes up today on the long-her- alded Commons debate on Can- ada's new flag. After the daily question pe- riod, Prime Minister Pearson is expected to start speaking in support of the Liberal govern- ment's resolution calling for a flag design of three red maple leaves on a white background with vertical blue bars at either side, The same resolution would al- low the Union Jack to be flown as a symbol of Canada's Com-| monwealth connection. } Although Mr. Pearson has} said the government will not be amending its resolution, changes are almost certain to be proposed from the opposi- tion benches. The New Democratic Party is expected to suggest a flag with one maple leaf instead of three. EXPECT AMENDMENT The Creditiste party is be- lieved ready to introduce an amendment calling for leaving the Union Jack reference out of the resolution. The Quebec group may also call for adop- tion of a flag divided diagon- ally into red and white sections with a green maple leaf in the centre--similar to a design pro- posed by The Native Sons of Canada. At least one Conservative backbencher is known to be armed with an amendment call- ing for elimination of the Union Jack reference. : The Conservative party's offi- cial stand on the flag issue has not yet heen spelled out. Sev- eral of its members are ada- mant Canadian Red Ensign supporters, and outside the Commons Opposition Leader Diefenbaker has suggested that a modified version of the ensign be adopted. : Many of the questions asked by MPs in recent stormy ques- tion periods in.the House may be answered today. These in- clude to what extent the vote on the resolution will be regarded by the government as a confi- dence test, and when the gov- ernment wants the new flag to start waving officially. Another question to be an- swered is how long today's de- bate will last.

But, on Fri- day, he said the flag debate would begin definitely on Mon- day.

Forecasts on how the debate will go range from it being a calm, dull affair to it develop- ing into a fierce, hotly-fought contest with passions enflamed on all sides of the 265 - seat House, -The proposed maple leaf de- sign was made public May 27 and since then thousands of such flags have been produced by private manufacturers. Details of the government's final ver- sion still have to be officially announced, but changes in the shade of color, the size of the leaves and the width of the blue bars have been indicated. Hundreds of letters have been pouring into the prime minis- ter's office daily on the flag, most said to be favoring the maple leaf design. One Leaf Or 3, MacDonald Ayes Distinctive Flag TORONTO (CP) -- Donald C. MacDonald, provincial leader of the New Democratic Party, de- clared himself in favor of a dis- tinctive Canadian flag Saturday whether it has one maple leaf or three.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS By CONRAD FINK ers of India and Pakistan are talking of peace for Kashmir in stronger terms than they have for years but it is clear that word is not getting down to the front line troops. Reports from both sides of the cease-fire line in divided Kashmir Sunday said there had !been sporadic firing between NEW DELHI (AP) -- Lead-| Indian and Pakistani troops for three days. Both sides lodged complaints with United Nation: «bserver teams, : An unconfirmed report from Jammu, on the Indian side, said there had been heavy fir- ing at three points and one fire- fight lasteq five hours. Indian officials declared Pakistanis By DAVID PASKOV ELISABETHVILLE (Reuters) The future of the Congo's Kat- anga province, the world's third largest source of copper, hangs in the balance as the last of the United Nations troops pre- pare to withdraw. When the: original withdrawal from Katanga was postponed last Deeember, the UN military force consisted of nearly 7,000 men. By June-30, only a small civ- ilian staff will be left to admin- ister about 1,500 technical assis- tance men on loan to the Con- golese government from UN agencies such as the World Health Organization and the In- ternational Labor Organization. The entire Congo operation has cost the United Nations jmore than 200 lives and about |$400,000,000 since July, 1960. | More than 1,900 Canadian sol- jdiers and airmen have served jin the UN Congo force, and the jfinal 179 are among the service- jmen being withdrawn this }month. Those of the Belgian popula- tion who stayed and the large numbers who eventually re- turned after the UN gained the upper hand in the provincé, now fear another outbreak of fight- ing between Katangans and Congolese for control of Ka- tanga's mineral revenues. Beatle Hordes Wound 40 In Australia MELBOURNE (Reuters) Forty persons were taken to hospitals following a near-riot UN Congo Withdrawal Brings Air Of Suspense In addition to copper, Ka- tanga has large deposits of co- balt and uranium, used in the manufacture of nuclear weap- ons, MINING CENTRES TENSE Mining centres like Kolwezi and Jadotville, in the western part of Katanga, now known as Lualaba, are tense. Even here in the Katanga capital, Negro districts are full of rumors of another secession attempt. One - time secessionist Pre- mier Moise Tshombe's former gendarmes are believed still to be in possession of a large num- ber of weapons, although many have sold whatever army equip- ment they had at the time of the surrender to UN forces. A force of gendarmes, said to number at least 3,000, is re-! ported to have collected on the other side of Portuguese An- gola's border with Katanga These would constitute a serious threat to the Lualaba province Kashmir Peace Talk Hits Troops' Deaf Ear fired mortars and machine- guns. Each side charged the other with shooting at and kill- ing civilians and cattle. Thus, despite peace talk com- ing from two capitals, things are continuirig on the front lines as they have for 16 years, since India and Pakistan fought over the Himalayan state and began the hitter rivalry that was to poison their relations, Thousands have been killed on both sides since 1948 and the long frontiers between the two countries have been in constant turmoil. Religious rioting has swept Moslem Pakistan and pre- cominantly Hindu India, DEATH SPARKS EFFORTS The death May 27 of Prime Minister Nehru, who had been searching for a solution, «ap. peared to be the signal. for re- newed peace efforts in New Delhi and Rawaipindi, President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan said'in a ra- dio broadcast shortly after Neh- ru's death that his country felt a loss too and would extend the hand of friendship to India. Nehru's successor, Lal Bahadur Shastri, quickly replied that In- dia also wants peace and that it was the 'natural destiny" of India and Pakistan to be friends. The quarrel now has: gone beyond a contest for possession of beautiful Kashmir. Many Pakistanis feel India is a mili- tary threat, and many. Indians argue that Pakistan is linking up with Communist China in an anti-India combination. where the Belgian - controlled Union Miniere Company has its main copper refineries. Reports from Angola say the gendarmes have been promised by their leaders that they can return to fight in Katanga once the UN troops leave. Seven battalions of Congolese Army soldiers based here are not considered effectively mo- bile because of a shortage of vehicles and gasoline. Congolese troops in Katanga have the additional task of keep- ing people at work.
