Fee Monday's lacklustre civic elec- tions. Only about one - third of the city's 419,000 voters turned out to give the mayor 82,628 votes against 52,143 for his 61-year- old opponent, the city's chief executive in 1952-53-54. Late allegations by the chal- lenger that fund - collecting methods on Mr. Givens' behalf smacked of Tammany Hall tac- tics failed to revive a drowsy campaign, and the winner's turnout was far below the 117,- 011 given Donald Summerville in gaining the mayoralty two years ago from incumbent Na- than Phillips. 1S FIRST WIN Mr. Givens, a lawyer who as senior controller moved to the mayor's desk when Mr. Sum- merville died in 1963, won the $26,500 office of his own for the first time Monday. He also be- came the second Jew to get PHILIP GIVENS elected -- Mr, Phillips was the first. A couple of perennial also- rans got nowhere, They were Ross Dowson, representing the League for. Socialist Action, and Charles Mahoney, a resort operator. Mr. Givens campaigned on a platform of "'business-like team leadership" at city hall. His opponent called for holding down Toronto's $160,000,000 a year budget to ease taxes. "It's too bad to see Lampy go this way," the winner said after the result became known Monday night. "But in the mayoralty there are no consola- tion prizes." The loser, an insurance man, had nothing to say about his plans immediately. But he has bounced back from the canvas several times in three decades of municipal scrapping. - LOSES IN UPSET Around the suburbs the ma- jor upset was scored in North York -- second largest of the Metropolitan Toronto area mu- nicipalities -- where twice- elected Reeve Norman Good- head was overthrown by James Service, a 38-year-old lawyer and former councillor, Two women heads of sub- urban governments were re- elected --Mayor Beth Nealson of Leaside and Reeve True Davidson of East York. Police are investigating the throwing of a bomb - type missile that blew a small hole in the roof of Mayor Nealson's opponent, Lloyd. Dickinson, Monday night. No one was hurt. Leaside was the only one of the 13 metro municipalities to register an average - size vote of better than 40 per cent of the elector- ate. Other women picked up mis- cellaneous offices. Mrs. Alice Summerville, widow of the former mayor, won an alder- man's seat in Ward 8 in Tor- onto and Mrs. Margaret Camp- bell, a lawyer and Queen's Counsel, made it to the four- member board of control after narrowly missing in 1962. DC-8 CRASH INQUIRY Airliner Plunged To Earth In Two Stages MONTREAL (CP) -- Ottawa engineer Robert J. Templin produced a roller-coaster curve Monday which he said rep- resents the vertical path of a huge jet airliner over the last 10 miles before it crashed last year, killing all 118 persons aboard. Mr: Templin, 41, submitted the graph to an inquiry com- mission investigating the Air Canada disaster of Nov. 29, 1963. He said it indicates that the DC-8F airliner plunged to earth in two stages. rather than in one long 'steep dive. The plane crashed in a Research Council, said known information. about the flight -- the plane's altitudes, speed, rate of climb and other factors -- were fed into computers and the machines produced some 2,500 possible flight paths. Of these, however, "a very high fraction were well outside the conditions we were trying to meet." PATHS PLOTTED Flight paths fitting known conditions were plotted on the graph, which showed the air- craft swooping down from an initial altitude of between 6,000 and 7,000 feet, appearing to re- cover, then plunging steeply to swamp near Ste. Therese, 20 miles north of Montreal, five minutes after taking off for Toronto from Montreal Inter- national Airport.

Wilson began to spell out his ideas on how to, organize a nu- clear weapons force within NATO at a mid-afternoon ses- sion with Johnson Monday, their second meeting of the day. The British prime minister will con- clude his presentation today and then, presumably, Johnson will present a defence of the multi- lateral force as conceived by the United States.

An official statement from the UAW reported after the opera- tion that the lung spot was "'suc- cessfully removed." The state- ment gave no further details except to term the operation a "conservative 'surgical proced- ure" and report the 57-year-old Reuther's condition satisfactory.

"Democracy In Danger" TORONTO (CP) -- Senator Grattan O'Leary said Monday democracy is in danger in Can- ada because of public indiffer- ence, the erosion of parliamen- tary power and a cult of per- sonality in politics The senator, president of the Ottawa Journal, told about 250 business and professional men at a luncheon meeting of the Canadian Club that a practical interest in politics should be the first obligation of citizens. "We in Canada take less in-| terest in politics than any other English - speaking country,"' he "and I blame most of it n you business and profes- sional men and our newspa- Too often the attitude is that politics is too dusty a game or takes too much time and effort. LOSES POWER As a result, he said, Parlia- ment is losing its power. "Parliament is seeing its power passing into the hands of boards, bureaus, commissions and committees and into the hands of a sprawling empire of Crown. corporations," Senator O'Leary said. "More than that, we are see- ing more and mote of Parlia- ment's power passing into the hands of the prime minister, who wields more power in this country than any man can or should be given in a democ- acy. other NATO allies, the officials]. a, Saved After Oshawa Trip TORONTO (CP)--A_ 30-year- old pilot was rescued Monday from the wing of his sinking aircraft, 30 seconds after the plane crashed while trying' to port.

L Mc Real Estate Day or Night - 728-4285 Broker ELECTION NIGHT BANS FOR MAYOR TORONTO CP -- An ex- plosion tore a small hole in the roof on the home of one of the candidates for mayor in suburban Leaside Mon- day night, election night. Police said they believe a bomb landed on the roof of the home of Lloyd Dickin- son, a former mayor of the town. Mr. Dickinson, who lost by four votes. on a recount to Mayor Beth Nealson in the 1962 election, lost again to Mrs, Nealson in a heated contest this year. Police were investigating the explosion and a spokes- man said they were unable to release any official ver- sion of the incident. Mr. Dickinson said he had no idea who could have set off the explosion. "It could be some kind of a prank or maybe the efforts of a crank who has been incensed over some- thing I said during the campaign." He said the explosion blew a hole in his roof and knocked plaster off his din- ing room ceiling. About six or eight people were in the house at the time of the explosion, but no one was hurt. A member of the police department's bomb squad took samples from the roof and ground to be analyzed today. DON REID SMASHES WAY TO VICTORY By BEN. WARD OTTAWA (CP) --Controller nation of experience, youth and good looks, scored a smashing victory in Ottawa's mayoralty election Monday to unseat the mee Charlotte Whit- on, The 38 - year - old furniture dealer astonished the experts by making a clean runaway of a race that was supposed to have been a neck-and-neck af- fair among himself, Mayor Whitton and Frank Ryan, the mayor's 63-year-old brother-in- law. Miss Whitton, mayor for nine of the last 13 years and mever before beaten in the civic field, finished third behind Mr. Ryan, owner of radio station CFRA. The final count gave Mr. Reid 43,854 votes; Mr. Ryan 26,961 and Miss Whitton 25,575. Two other candidates were never rated a chance and wound up far in the rear. Louis Joseph Paradis, a retired boiler- maker, drew 704 votes and Al- fred Lapointe received 383. FAVOR FLUORIDATION Ottawa voters also went. heav- ily in favor of fluoridation of water supplies, 58,234 votes to 36,079, and Sunday sports, 61,- 897 to 33,375. Mr. Reid, father of four and a lifelong resident of the capi- Ital, is considered one of the Police Force By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--Britain has thrown its support behind Prime Minister Pearson's plan for an international police force ready for action anywhere in the world. The House of Commons ap- proved without a formal vote Monday night a Conservative opposition member's motion for United Nations reforms, includ- ing the creation of a peace- keeping force. The resolution noted the "faults and successes" of the UN and the view of Secretary- General U Thant that, if it is to have a future, the world body must assume some of the attri- butes of a state. This included, in particular, the means of act- in "areas of actual or po- tential conflict." The resolution also called at- tention to the need for reforms in the UN, in particular by' the "creation by like - minded states," as suggested by Pear- son, of a small peace-keeping force on a permanent. basis. |STUDIES WAYS George Thomson, minister of state for foreign affairs in the Labor government, told the House the administration which Britain can give help, "with particular emphasis on logistic support." This apparently meant that U.K. Backs Pearson's Concept British weapons, equipment and transport would be available to a UN peace-keeping force. Thomson said in answer to a question by R. A. Butler, for- mer Tory foreign minister, that this would not mean British con- tingents on permanent. standby duty. Several countries, including Canada and the Scandinavian nations, have so earmarked troops and Thomson said these men are "not mercenaries but crusaders." John Tilney, former joint un- dersecretary for Commonwealth relations, introduced the motion in the thinly-attended House. He said it would be necessary for earmarked troops to train to- gether to be effective. "In the end I believe the world will have to have an in- dividually recruited, per- manent, multi-racial force on the lines of the old French For- eign Legion, serving on long- term engagements, highly paid and honored. "Meanwhile, like-thinking na- tions who believe in establish- ing such a force will have to allocate some of their troops." The matter is considered a certainty to be discussed by Prime Minister Wilson, who has frequently stressed his new La- bor government's emphasis on UN matters, when he meets Pearson in Ottawa this week. MONTREAL (CP) -- Quebec- ers cast thirsty glances across their borders Monday as nego- tiations began in an effort to end a strike of some 3,000 em- plcyees of the Quebec Liquor Board, Union and management, it was reported, met Monday to discuss the strike which started Friday night and closed all \liquor stores and warehouses in \the province. The employees, whose union was Officially recognized ear- lier this year, are seeking higher wages, improved pen- sions and job security. Many Montrealers began con- sulting road maps to measure the distances to Cornwall and Hawkesbury, Ont., and the United States, the nearest peints across the provincial boundary where take - home liquor can be had. One radio announcer an- nounced train times to Corn- wall, without mentioning the strike Eastern Quebecers could also look to New Brunswick. But Josaphat Brunet, director of the provincial police, said it is an offence to carry any quan- tity of liquor across the provin- cial boundary. He warned, too, against buy- ing from bootleg sources saying that bootleggers could speed up the aging process to meet in- creased demands. This could make the alcohol "extremely toxic."' Liquor Board Strike Parches Quebecers Although government outlets are closed, restaurants and cocktail bars continued to oper- ate as usual. Most had stocked up before the strike, although some reported that if the strike went on to Christmas they might run'dry. Don Reid, a convincing combi- © j as an alderman and four years on the board of control, In 1963 he ran the federal campaign that elected Liberal Lloyd Francis in west - end Carleton, ending a Conservative 4 hold on that riding that began with Confederation. Miss Whitton conceded the election 244 hours after polls closed and made a good job of hiding her disappointment. "I have given the best I could and the best had not been good enough," she told her cheering supporters. 'I do love E this city, but it does not love me or want my services." - Asked about her future plans.

The Canadian Underwriters Association said increases across Canada will average 15.3 per cent. But some individual drivers might end up with a small reduction, an increase of as much as 25 per cent, or any- thing in between. It all depends on who you are, where you are and how much you drive. For instance, assuming a driver owns a six-cylinder me- dium-priced 1964 car and he wants $100,000 third-party lia- bility; $100-deductible collision; comprehensive fire, damage and theft protection; and medi- cal coverage--here's what. he'll have to pay next year if he's a "class B3 driver" in some ma- jor Canadian cities: In Toronto, insurance will cost him $114 a year, up from $88. Halifax drivers will pay $112, up from $106. Montreal car- owners will face $213, up from $178. In Winnipeg the rate will Auto Insurance Rates Are Hiked - rise to $92 from $83. Edmon- ton's rate will rise to $100 from $84. And in Vancouver, drivers will pay $123, up from $101. Those figures are only for B3 drivers, however -- pleasure drivers who drive fewer than 10 miles to work every day, hav- ing no male driver under 25 years old operating the vehicle and having no more than two drivers using it all. This is the largest classification. A3 drivers get off easiest. In Toronto, these folk who do not drive to work; who are over 35 and married; and have nobody under 25 using their cars will pay $88 instead of the former $76 for the same coverage as the B3 rates. In Halifax A3 drivers will pay $107, up from $106, and in Mont- real $169, up from $148. The new rate in Winnipeg will be $74, up from $71, anl in Edmon- ton $81, up from $72. Vancouver drivers will pay $96, a rise from $84. A teen-aged driver using the family car in Toronto will force the rate up $34, with a propor- tionate increase elsewhere. Pity the H3 drivers--they're under 25 and have to pay the highest--a whopping $315 in Tor- onto compared to the old rate of $260. Average rates in Newfound- land will drop .2 per cent. In- creases in other provinces will average as follows: Ontario 15.7 per cent; Quebec 15.8; New Brunswick 10.6; Nova Scotia 8; Prince Edward Island 23.3; Manitoba 9.8; Alberta 12.7; British.
