CANADIAN EXPANSION Non-US. 'Money To Finance Ford DETROIT (AP) -- Chairman Henry Ford I said Thursday Ford Motor Co. plans to finance its current expansion in Europe and Canada " funds gen- erated outside the United States." This disclosure was contained in a statement in which Ford said his company "will main- tain a direct and continuing in- terest in measures to correct OFL Seeks To Slam Companies ST. CATHARINES (CP)--The Ontario Federation of Labor will try to organize mass union demonstrations to protest the actions of five Ontario compan- ies, federation president David Archer said Thursday. Mr. Archer told Local 199 of the United Auto Workers (CLC) that the federation will not try to organize a one'day general strike which the local suggested Nov, 12. A strike on the scale pro- posed by the local would be nearly impossible because of the legalities involved, he said. Local 199 asked for the gen- eral strike to call attention to what it called the strike-break- ing tactics of the three Toronto newspapers -- The Star, Tele- gram and Globe and Mail--the Wolverine Tube division of Cal- umet and Hecla Canada of Lon- don, Ont., and Lanark Manu- facturing Company Limited of Dunnville. Mr. Archer said the feder- ation has circulated a plan for a one-day demonstration in Tor- onto and has suggested that similar demonstrations be held simultaneously throughout the province. The major grievance against the five companies is the use of injunctions which limit pick- the U.S. ° balance-of-payments situation." "Ford Motor Co. for years has been a substantial contribu- tor to the net inflow of funds to the United States. During the period 1950-1964, our company's international operations re- sulted in a gain of more than $3,000,000,000 in the United States balance of payments. "In 1964 ,alone, our. interna- tional operations resulted in a net inflow of $408,000,000 in for- eign exchange to the United States; for 1963 the figure was $319,000,000."" U.S. Chryslers In Duty-Free? OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson said Thursday the government is investigating re- ports that American made Chrysler automobiles are being imported into Canada duty free while Chrysler workers are on strike at Windsor, Ont. He was replying in the Com- mons to Michael Starr (PC-- Ontario). Mr. Pearson said he had received communications, had talked with Industry Min- ister Drury and "the matter now is being looked into." Ship Sinks Ip dinks, 3 Missing THE HAGUE (Reuters)--The 5,703-ton Dutch ship Sophocles sank in the northern Atlantic to- day and three of its crew mem- bers are missing, the owners said. Its owners in Amsterdam, said that 4% hours after a fire broke out in a hold it spread all over the ship, which then cap- sized and sank. The Sophocles was bound for Rotterdam from Aruba, in the of fertilizer. An earlier report said the erew was being taken aboard eting. another Dutch ship, the Ulysses. Nova Scotia, Move Closer By THE CANADIAN PRESS The premiers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick announced Thursday that they intend to take the first steps toward a possible union between the two provinces. A private - member's resolu- tion introduced in the Nova Scotia legislature by Premier Robert Stanfield proposed a study of the advantages and dis- disadvantages of political un- jon. It was passed unanimously. Meanwhile, Premier Louis Robi- chaud said he would introduce a resolution in the New Bruns- wick legislature next Wednes- day calling for a similar study. Mr. Stanfield said his resolu- tion does not commit the legis- lature to any action, but merely gives the government authority to begin its part of the study, provided that New Brunswick does the same. He said it "is clear that one legislature dealing with two provinces could ensure a high degree of economic develop- ment." All of Canada's provincial leg- islatures were sitting Thursday N. Brunswick To Unifying Newfoundland -- Premier Smallwood. said the National Research Council has approved a grant of $350,000 toward the building of a $750,000 university laboratory in St. John's. government announced that it plaris an all-out éffort to attract industry as the speech from the throne was read by Lieutenant- Governor W.

Two years ago after his mi- nority government was defeated in the Commons and three cab- campaign into the hamlets--and it almost worked. He spoke of big interests that were opposed to him. Those in- terests were in the United States, whose government had publicly criticized him for fail- ing to acquire nuclear weapons. At each whistle-stop he used the Harry Truman statement that "everybody is against me but the people." The two-week campaign had Liberals so worried that the strategy for Lester B. Pearson was revised. Although his government has) not returned, political 'observ- ers agreed the losses would have been greater had Mr. Diefenbaker not campaigned so effectively. LASHES AT CRITICS The memory of that cam- paign returned this week when Mr. Diefenbaker, now opposi- tion leader, lashed out at his critics within the party. He told a nation-wide televi- sion audience Wednesday there are elements in the party who want to see "this party as a) reactionary one. \ "T have been told . .:. in the last few days that if I remain as leader of the Conservative party, support for the party by certain interests will end. I will follow the will of the peo- people or those that are all powerful?" Sources close to the opposi- tion leader indicate he "is. hop- ing for a large public response to his statement so he can ig- nore the opposition to him within the national executive and the Quebec wing. New Prosperity 'From Auto Pact MONTREAL (CP)--Wide ben- efits may be derived by other fields of industry because of the recent Ottawa Washington trade agreement on autos and auto parts, a spokesman for the auto parts industry said Thurs- lay. D. S$. Wood, manager of the Automobile Parts. Manufactur- ers' Association of Canada, said the pact may 'create a mutual prosperity felt by all industries in Canada and the United States. He said 700,000 vehicles were produced in Canada last year and that there is every prospect for an increase of 200,000 in 1968. Dupont-Union Talks Continue BELLEVILLE (CP) Du Pont of Canada Limited and Union Representatives of 1,700 jof the company's Kingston |workers met here Thursday for jcontract talks. Members of Local 13160 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers (Ind:) have set a strike deadline for Feb. 24. Mine Camp Just Dot On 1,000 Feet Of Ice VANCOUVER (CP)--A lonely) huddle of buildings, the tempor-| ary homes and workshops for! some 150 men, lay in a glacial| valley 800 miles northwest of| Vancouver. Beneath them, the ice of twin glaciers ranges up to 1,000 feet) thick. Around them, extinct vol-| canoes--some 200,000,000 years' old--rose to 8,000 feet. The mountain walls are steep,| dark brown and older than granite. Some scrub_ timber. spruce, clings "o the lower slopes | A piece of the Leduc glaciers) --a smothering of ice and snow --slipped Thursday and some! 40 men and some of their build-| ings vanished. Other men weré injured. Home 'base for this' camp is| the Granduc Mines, Limited,| Vancouver. Most of the men at! the camp were from here. An 11 - mile - tunnel is being driven to link copper fields with mill site. : For this. camp, the door to the outside world is Stewart, B.C., spread around the head of Portland Canal, 80 miles in- land through the Alaska Pan- handle from the sea. | | USED TRACTORS In the early days, the only way in was by tractor-train| over a winter road 30 miles to the glacier over snow which, at its winter peak, lies 20 to 30 feet deep | } Today, the way in is by) freight plane to an_ airstrip! high on the glacier, then by tractor-train to the camp site.| Leduc is two separate gla- ciers which come together near the camp. . Once the mine is in operation --estimated to be 1968 before the slide--an all-weather road will be driven to Stewart so the copper concentrates may come out by sea. Already, Granduc has. spent $9,000,000 on the project; plans call for another $55,000,000 to be spent. "The camp is in a_ high- snowfall belt," says Dr. Wil- liam Mathews, head of geology for the University of British Columbia, and who has visited the camp. "The area is riotorious for heavy snowfall. By the end of January, the camp equipment 20 feet high is covered." A company prospectus, re- leased only the day before the avalanche, said the area con- tains an estimated 30,000,000 tons of almost two-per-cent ore, which Dr. Mathews described as high grade. _ The area, the prospectus says, is potentially the largest single copper deposit in Canada. What caused the. slide? Communications were _inter- mittent so it wasn't known for sure, but Dr. Mathews said the recent warm spell "could have been a significant factor.'

An investigation was ¢alled after Police Chief Donald Mc- 'Carter complained that Inspec- tor Wright was left overnight in hospital without attention fxcm a doctor.

MAKES REPORT In his report to the hospital's mi ement committee. Thurs- day, Dr: H. O.

Commonwealth ' Trade Sought "My friends, they believe that! they will succeed in this way.| By Britain | LONDON (CP) -- Britain ts conferring with the Common- wealth membership on special ways of increasing trade within a cabinet source said this will be a big issue when the prime ministers meet here next June. He anticipated that trade ex- special export incentives and other preferential treatment, may be actively pursued within the framework of the Common- wealth secretariat. The secretariat must be for- mally approved by the prime ministers but it may start func- tioning in an informal way be- fore the June meeting. Concentration on Common- wealth trade will be Prime Minister Wilson's main response to the Conservative opposition's drive to get Britain eventually into the European Common Market. WILL REDUCE TARIFFS Next Monday the Labor gov- ernment plaffs to announce a re- duction of one-third--to 10 per! cent from 15--in the extra tar- iffs imposed last October on most industrial goods. Later, in March, the govern- ment will outline its first. five- year economic plan for Britain, a sort of model or set of guide- lines on how the British econ- omy could be pushed to new heights by 1970 with govern- ment direction but without "nl government compulsion. Still included in the adminis- tration's plans, the cabinet in- formant said, is the nationaliza- tion of steel whiche he consid- ered "very important." There has been speculation that the government would hesitate to push ahead with this plan be- cause of Labor's slim_ three- seat margin in the 630-seat Commons and the warning by both Tories and Liberals they would fight to the death against nationalization. There are indications that not all Labor members are in full support of the steel plan and pressure on Wilson 'to move ahead in this field could cause a party fragmentation or split. the 2l-country partnership and pansion, with the possible use of, TORONTO (CP) -- A critical report by a grand jury last fall on the operation of Mercer Re- formatory for Women was dis- ard carded by the Ontario govern- ment Thursday as purely par- tisan. ' The report on the grand jury's findings was made by a special government - appointed investigating committee, and was termed "whitewash" by members of the Opposition. The committee's report, while giving the Toronto reform- atory a clean bill of health, did recommend, however, that the attending physician, Dr. W. A. Hills, should be replaced. Allan Grossman, minister of reform institutes, who set up the investigating committee, also announced as he tabled the report in the legislature that the reformatory is' to be re- placed. SUSPENDED PLANS But Mr. Grossman said he had suspended plans for a new building pending a statement of policy from the federal govern- ment on whether it. planned to take over custody of all persons sentenced to six months or more, as recommended by the Fauteaux report. The provincial government now assumes. the custody of ZELLERS RETAILERS TO THRIFTY CANADIANS Open Every Day From 9:30 A. Thursday and Friday 9:30 A.M, -- 9:00 P.M.

The federal government now has decided to take over re- sponsibility for sentences of a year or more. There will be no sentences between six months and a year. The provinces will deal with offenders sentenced to six months or less. The investigating committee dismissed all the grand jury's charges and questioned the im- partiality of the jury foreman and the objectivity of the jury itself. : In recommending in a round- about way that Dr. Hills be re- placed, the members of the Dr. Hill's 'forthright and some- what abrupt manner," the doc- tor - patient relationship had suffered at Mercer. SAYS IT'S 'WHITEWASH' Donald MacDonald, leader of the NDP, said the report was a "backhanded attempt at whitewash." James Trotter (L -- Toronto- arkdale), who had toured Mercer after the grand jury's report was made public, said he was dumbfounded the gov- ernment would bring in "such a complete whitewash."
