Miss LaMarsh, opening an ex*| y debate on-sec- ond reading of the a osia sai that within 20 years after its in- ception the plan will cost Cana- dians more in benefits than it pected three-da: tontributory pension bill collects in contributions. "She said the most favorable actuarial forecasts indicate that contributions combined with in- vestment returns cannot keep the pension fund growing be- yond 1995. "The most that can now be said is that, if the current range of predictions preserve the funding of the plan, some increase in the con- tribution rate probably will be required some time in the later 1980s or the 1990s." She said, however, that the estimates by the insurance de- partment's chief actuary, E. E. Clarke, of future earnings, pop- ulation growth, mortality rate and other factors were "pessi- mistic" to '"'guard against the danger of underestimating the possible cost of the plan." The plan {s compulsory for an estimated 4,500,000 to 5,000,000 Canadians above 18 and earn- ing more than $600 a year. Ini- tially, employers and employ- ees are to share equally contri- butions of 3.6 per cent starting in 1966. Self-employed persons Canada Pension Plan contributors likely will face rate increases within 25 years if governmnet fore- casts prove accurate, Health jo renal Judy. LaMarsh said is sus- tained, and if it is desired to would pay the whole 3.6 per cent. Maximum benefits at age 65 beginning in 1976 would be $104 monthly under the present plan. An increase in earnings levels would increase the maximum. Reduced benefits are to be paid for the first 10 years. In addition the old age secur- ity payment -- presently $76 a month ---could be claimed at age 70, or in reduced amounts at age 65. Its benefits are to be pegged to the cost of living in- dex, but Miss LaMarsh has said this would not prevent a future Parliament from raising the base level. Before her statement, the Commons passed a resolution to establish a joint Senate- Commons committee to give de- tailed study to the legislation following second reading -- ap- proval in principle. Miss LaMarsh said some pro- jections indicate the interest on pension fund investments will more than fill the gap between reyenues and expenditures for at least part of the plan's third decade. "The highest of the chief ac- tuary's range of estimates for the fund in 1990 is, at $8,600,- 000,000, slightly higher than for 1985," she said. "'On the least favorable estimate, on the other hand, the fund would decline to $5,000,000,000 by 1990." She: said if interset rates were higher than the four per cent projected, the fund's size could be greater but would not prevent the fund dwindling dur- ing the third decade.

Doctor's Fate Still A Mystery In Washington, State Secre- tary Dean Rusk said if Carlson were executed, it would be "'an outrageous violation of interna- tional law and of accepted stan- dards of humanitarian con- duct." Rusk appealed to Prime Min- ister Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya to use his influence as chair- man of an African committee seeking to end The Congo civil war to try to save Carlson's)' life. CHARGES ARE FALSE Rusk said rebel charges that Carlson was a U.S. Army ma- jor on a spy mission were "pa- tently false." He said the United States holds insurgent leaders "di- rectly responsible for the safety of Dr. Carlson and of all other Americans in areas under re- bel control." Americans in Leopoldville saw a brief ray of hope Mon- day when told a broadcast from Stanleyville said the rebels had din principle to an of- fer of the United States consul" to negotiate Carlson's fate. It was learned later that the broadcast -was made Sunday, before the broadcast A strike: by about 22,500 General Motors of Canada workers is a _ 'possibility', George Burt, Canadian di- rector of the United Auto Workers said today. Mr. Burt was interviewed by The Oshawa Times min- utes after a 10-minute concil- iation board hearing between the UAW and GM ended at a downtown hotel. "I hope we can come to some agreement with GM," said Mr. Burt, "but a strike vote has been taken and un- less an agreement is reached, a strike is possible.' - T. C, O'Connor, chairman of the three-member conciliation board, told The Times both parties were advised that in in view of their positions, the board could not serve a use- ful purpose. Mr. Burt said he was not optimistic nor was he pessi- mistic about reaching a satis- factory contract agreement. He said the UAW plans to continue negotiations with the company. "We will negotiate day and night if necessary," he said. A company spokesman said after the hearing that GM is "definitely willing to continue negotiations with the union." BURT SAYS STRIKE POSSIBLE AFTER 10-MINUTE HEARING Union negotiators Monday rejected company contract proposals as '"'totally inade- quate". Mr. Burt said the UAW asked the conciliation board to make an early report on today's hearing. The union may take strike action legal- ly, seven days after the boards' report is received by the Minister of Labor. Mr. O'Connor said the, board could give no definite date when the report would be pre- sented to the minister, but a GM 'spokesman said he ex- pected it would be presented today or Wednesday, Mr. Burt said the UAW hasn't had the opportunity '"'to assess our position in full', in reference to the company's proposals made Monday. But, he said, GM has tried to apply an American blue- print to the Canadian situa- tion and this is not satisfac- tory. Mr. O'Connor said more than 75 per cent of all dis- putes sent to conciliation are settled. "We wish both parties evéry success . . . they have a real responsibility to get together and settle this dispute," he added. "RANK DISCRIMINATION" Salesme Reneging Period Pate eats (CP)--A group of n Oppose Brush Company, a_vice-presi- dent of the Direct Sellers As- }poned session of the General UNITED NATIONS (CP) -- With a deadline two weeks away, the United States has made its first major move to force the Soviet Union to pay up or lose. its vote in the United Nations General Assem- bly. The U.S. announced Monday a step it had promised in ad- vance: Refusal "at this time" to make a pledge for next year's UN technical assistance programs. The action was seen as a warning to members that the U.S. cannot be counted on to continue huge voluntary contri- butions if the Soviets are per- mitted to keep their vote with- out paying overdue assessments towards peace-keeping forces. Unless a settlement is reached, the showdown will take place two weeks from. to- day when this year's twice-post- Assembly is to open. At the root of the issue is the question of control over peace run exclusively by the Security Council, where the Russians have a veto, or whether the General Assembly will have some voice.

The proposal for a waiting period was made to the Onta- rio legislature's select commit- tee on consumer credit by the Canadian Association of Con- sumers, It is aimed at protect- ing housewives from high-pres- sure or unscrupulous salesmen. The 14-member Direct Sellers Association argued before the select committee that a- so- called cooling-off period would do nothing to eradicate fly-by- night door-to-door salesmen. In- stead, it would discriminate against the ethical companies. "Economically, waiting pe- riods could have 'a depressing effect on business, on selling and on salesmanship,"' said M. M.
