he tn iin Nn dat it IA iin, J 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, July 14, 1964 legs ) GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- OTTAWA (CP)--A_ govern- SOLIDARITY PREDOMINATES AT "222" PICNIC It was one of the biggest Local 222 picnics ever. , The. first trickle of the crowd (with breakfast baskets) showed up in the shaded tree area in Lakeview Park alongside the lake shortly after 7 a.m. -- from then on in, there was an incessant influx until after 3 p.m. The rains came shortly after 4:30 p.m., but not until the lucky draws had been completed, and the guest speakers heard from the platform in front of the old bandstand. R It was easy to see that there was solidarity in the ranks for such an auspicious occasion; for one thing, Emil ~ Mazey, the 5l-year-old In- ternational secretary - treas- urer of the UAW (and Presi- dent Walter Reuther's right- hand man) was present, along with George Burt, Ca- nadian Director of the In- ternational UAW. The plat- ™ form guest-list also included two new faces, Michael Starr, MP, .Ontario Riding; and Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa Riding (introduced by President "'Abe" Taylor Z i _as "Brother Walker"). The . GEORGE BURT "= two elected representatives were given a courteous hear- ing during brief speeches and later attended a small dinner- party for the Local 222 executive in the Hotel Genosha. BACK IN THE GOOD, OLD DAYS The executive did a tremendous job of detailed planning, ene reason the complex program unfolded like clockwork. . Mr. Mazey recalled that this was the first Local 222 picnic he had attended 'since 1938 "when I spoke from the back of a truck." In a nostalgic mood, Mr. Mazey referred to the old days when the membership did not enjoy such prosperity as it knows today. "We have made great progress, and the UAW has been responsible for these gains -- such as vacation with pay, premiums for over- time, shift premiums, a pen- sion program, supplementary employment plans, fuller- paid hospital and medical benefits," he said. '"'But the most important gain of all ; is that we have gained dig- nity." | He predicted that the UAW would make "the greatest gains in its history" during the 1964 negotiations sched- uled to commence in early September, "I predict this on the basis that the automobile industry has just completed. three years of high production and high profits, back to back," he added. "During this time, the auto manufacturers have broken all profit records of the industry; as a result, manage- ment is in a position to satisfy the needs of the membership of the unions". (EDITOR'S NOTE: Canadian talks with management are scheduled to open September 12.) Mr. Mazey said that the UAW seeks such things as in- crease in benefits without increase in car prices. "We have a basic policy of making gains with the community, and not at the expense of the community," he added.) IMPROVE WORK CONDITIONS The basic emphasis in bargaining, he added, will be to: 1 -- Improve working conditions. 2 -- Create more jobs opportunities for jobless -- to ach- feve this, the UAW will seek earlier retirement at increased pension benefits. 3 -- Seek fully-paid medical increases for future and cur- rent retirees. 4 -- Seek increased benefits for those already retired. Mr. Mazey said that the General Motors Corp. made $536,000,000 -- or 30 percent on its investment -- in the first three months of 1964; he added that profits before taxes in 1963 totalled $3,354,000,000, and that profits after taxes were $1,592,000,000 in that year. He added that the GM Corporation in the U.S. had a return of 24 percent in 1963. ("For every dollar paid in wages in 1963, GM Corporation made a profit of $1.10 in the U.S.," he claimed). REUTHER'S BULLET-PROOF PACKARD DISPOSED OF Mr. Mazey (in a pre-speech Press interview) said that the International UAW today has more than 1,200,000 dues- paying members, plus 150,000 retired members -- the Team- sters have 1,400,000 members in North America and the Transport Workers in Britain some 1,500,000 members, he added. He said that President Walter Reuther, at 57, was '"in~ good health and spirits" but that the International had pass- ed a ruling that executives should retire at 64. "I have been Mr. Reuther's assistant for many years, acted as president for a full year in 1948 when he was seri- ously wounded in an assassination attempt (the radial nerve fh his right arm was shattered), but it is unlikely that 1 will succeed him when he does retire -- we have the feeling in the UAW that younger hands should be trained for high executive jobs." Whatever became of Mr. Reuther's famous bullet-proof Packard, the one he used back in the 1950's on a visit to the Regent Theatre to speak at a Local 222 meeting? "Mr. Reuther has replaced it with an Oldsmobile, non- bullet-proof," he replied with a twinkle in his eye. WHO SAYS GM BIGGEST LOCAL PRODUCER? "I thought that General Motors was the biggest producer in Oshawa until I came down here today for the Local 222 picnic; but looking around now from this platform at the hundreds of children present, I am beginning to have some doubts. I have never seen so many children, at one time, in one given spot, anywhere." acca EMIL MAZEY George Burt,, Canadian Director of the International UAW, at the 18th. Annual picnic of Local 222, UAW-CLC, in Lakeview Park last Saturday. COMMITTEE ON AGING MEETS IN TORONTO Albert V. Walker is in Toronto today (and Wednesday) attending a meeting of the Select Committee on Aging, of which he is a member. The committee will hear briefs from organizations concerned with problems of the elderly under the following headings: Economics of Aging, Health of the Aged, Housing of the Aged, Social Aspects of Aging, Legal Aspects of Aging, Research of Aging. The committee will visit areas to ascertain types and effectiveness of pro- grams, or special services for the aged which have been successfully adopted. The first tour, scheduled this year, will be to Washington, ment bill setting up a system of guaranteed bank loans for university students who need them was introduced in the Commons Monday. It will provide up to $1,000 a year for students who can pro- duce a provincial 'certificate of eligibility" showing that they have a satisfactory scholastic standard and are in need of a loan to continue their studies. The federal government will pay all interest on the loan dut- ing the time the student attends university, and for six months later. Following this period, the student will take over the loan repayment himself, paying off the principal and interest in be- tween five and 10 years. A $5,000 limit is placed on the total value of loans a stu- dent may obtain during his uni- versity years, Interest rates will be established by the federal cabinet. One section of the bill stip- ulates that the loans will be re- coverable by the banks as though the borrower had been of the legal age of 21 when the loan was made, Under present law, there can be no such claim against a person who acquired a debt while under 21, | The preliminary resolution \was introduced without the Ottawa To Aid Bright Students usual debate and the bill ob- tained speedy first reading. All parties had agreed to hold off debate until the second-reading stage, expected later this week. SETS TOTAL The bill provides for total loans of $40,000,000 in any one year, apportioned among the provinces according to their share of the population aged 18- 25, Any province that wants to run its own plan will get com- pensatory payments on the same basis, Students qualifying must be Canadian citizens or be resi- dents for at least one year and sign declarations they will re- side in Canada after graduation. No age limits are mentioned. the loan, plus accrued interest, in the case of a student who dies at any time in the loan or repayment period. The $40,000,000 annual ceiling on loan amounts will be in- creased in relation to increases in the population aged 18-25. This will be determined by the Dominion statistician. chartered banks by the individ- ual students. The "certificate of eligibility" will be issued by au- thorities designated by each province. | WEATHER FORECAST Official forecasts issued by the 'Toronto weather office at 5:30 a.m.: Synopsis: The storm centre that gave heavy rains to parts of southern Ontario over the weekend continues to plague our weather pattern.

"Men have been buying Store Shelves Bared By Topless Boom RED'S SQUARE D | ' V. ra, 1994 " Kremlin By HENRY 8S. BRADSHER MOSCOW (AP)--The people at the bottom of the Soviet eco- nomic ladder, collective farm- ers and public service employ- ees, were promised a better deal Monday by Premier Khrushchev. Raising Soviet living stand- ards is the most important ideological consideration now, Khrushchev declared at the opening summer session of the Supreme Soviet, the national parliament. Red Grain Decision Seen Soon By KEN CLARK | WINNIPEG (CP) -- A pro- longed guessing game by Cana- dian grain officials on the wheat-buying intentions of the Soviet Union may soon end. Russia will probab'y have enough facts on its domestic supply situation within six weeks and will then probably be in a position to approach Can- ada for more wheat if its supply position demands it. Officials here note that the Russians made their approach for Canadian wheat last year in early fall. The same could apply this year. Last year's approach led to a 239,000,000 - bushel sale of wheat and flour worth $500,000,- 000, It was directly responsible for pushing Canadian wheat ex- ports in the current crop year to a forecast record of 580,000,- 000 bushels. The crop year ends July 31. In any case officials here say a repeat order of this size is a remote possibility. They doubt the 1963 Soviet crop failure will be repeated. There are also doubts that Russia could suf- ficiently recover in a_ single year. to make her independent again. EXPECT PURCHASES The strands were held up them for their wives." One : t by a horizontal neckline strip. Officials believe Russia' will More For Poor Pledges The premier announced a de-, cision to provide pensions for the first time to about 6,500,000, collective farmers. : Effective Jan. 1, farm men, reaching 65 and farm women reaching 60 will become eligible; for monthly pensions ra from 12 roubles to 102 roubles, (The rouble is worth $1.11 at the official rate.) DOCTORS GET MORE Young doctors now earning 72 roubles a month in city a pitals will get 90 roubles. The pay of a local government offi- cial will rise from 36 roubles to 50 roubles a month. Khrushchey spoke for 3% jhours in the great Kremlin Pal- ace. Passage of the plan is ex- pected to be automatic. The session will last only a few days. Real incomes have increased 61 per cent in the last decade, Khrushchev said. But consumer goods are inadequate and often of the wrong style and design, he said, reiterating press criti- cisms of poor stocks in the stores. In an obvious reference to Communist China, which ac- cuses him of leading the Soviet Union toward capitalism, Khrushchev said it is amazing how anyone can call himself a Marxist and "regard the im- provement of the living stand- ards of the people in socialist society as a 'bourgeois tend- ency.'"' PEKING (Reuters)--The Chi- nese Communist party in a new all-out attack on Russian Pre+ mier Khrushchev Tuesday said he and other Soviet leaders were "political representatives of the Soviet bourgeoisie and particularly of its privileged stratum." The party declared that "the revisionist Khrushchev clique" had "usurped leadership of the Soviet party and state." It said Russia faced " ited danger of capitalist restoration." It portrayed the Soviet Union as "seething with discontent" as Khrushchev's alleged efforts to restore capitalism and claimed that the Russian peo- lady came in and said she wanted a topless suit to wear around her private swimming pool, Her feeling about it was why shouldn't she be up-to- the-minute in fashion. "If the topless bathing suit is what the designers are coming out with, why not wear it?" WINNIPEG (CP) ---: Three dresses with revealing tops were displayed here Monday at a private showing and the distributor said he had sold 300 to Western Canada stores. David Fogell of Winnipeg, western representative for the manufacturer, said he ex- pected women would wear the dresses at private parties and such. "The young business and the young marrie woman will be the best cus- tomer,' he predicted to re- girl ' The dress was backless. "We sell a blouse with it," Mr. Fogell said. "Then the girl can decide later whether she wants to wear it." For those who want the ef- fect of topless nudity without being nude, the strand dress also comes with a flesh-col- ored nylon mesh attachment. More decorous was a, black sheath with a filmy bodice which hid little. Won't Drop | Cyprus Duty Says Martin OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment does not intend to take jprobably buy Canadian wheat again, but on a much smaller scale, in the next crop year. Delivery of the current order will be completed in a matter of weeks. Under terms of the agreement, Russia is com- mitted to take another 18,700,- 000 bushels--but not until early 1965. Officials predict the Prairie ple, including the party mem- bers, were "using various means to resist and oppose the Khrushchev clique's revisionist line." i These points were made in a massive article running to more than 30,000 Chinese characters, Mticials 'predict iri Just a Minute... grain belt. will produce no bet- phone with quolitied iter than an average crop this SOMALB TRAVEL representative fall--possibly 500,000,000 bushels|and you can stort meking your but Canada would still havelplans for @ fun-filled holiday... ample to meet a big Russian|no motter what time of yeer it lorder. heppens to fall on. i | Even without a Russian grain 668-3304 . |market, Canada has a good |market in Russian satellites, |many of whom are tied up un- 'der long-term agreements.

The break-up came when Af- rican and Communist states in- sisted on forcing to a vote their resolution demanding the expul- sion of Portugal. This was the first time that Western countries, including the Latin American republics, had walked out of an international conference in protest against an African resolution.
