Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Oshawa Shows TheWay In Colorful Folk Festival _ Oshawa's Dominion Day activities merit national attention. As we come under almost a_ constant barrage of biculturalism and bilin- gualism bickering from across Gan- ada, Oshawa has shown that people of not just two but of many racial prigins can work together in the best interests of their community. The fifth annual Folk Festival is again destined to provide proud proof of their achievements. A reading of the time table of of events scheduled for the day reveals the amazing scope of activi- ties. It covers everything from karate to the can-can to exotic canopes. Of significance is the large humber of groups represented in the program. It includes participa- tion by the Ukrainian community, the Polish, the Irish, the Hungarian, the Greek, French-Canadian, the English, the Scotch. There's an old fashioned Canadian square dance and a tribute to the Indians. -A special supplement of The Oshawa Times today outlines in detail the program and the artists and athletes taking part. The festival, to which we are all invited, is the finale of months of work and preparation by the meme bers of scores of organizations and ethnic groups in the city. It is through this period of working to- gether in a common cause as much as in the one day itself that Oshawa citizens can gain. Through the co-operation and shaying of cultures the city becomes t richer and stronger community. To assure the complete success of this year's festival a large atten- dance is necessary -- to express our appreciation and of course, to enjoy ourselves. It's too big a day to miss! Scoffers: Take Note! At a time when to some it seems gmart to sneer at any show of senti- ment where Royalty is concerned, the scene on Simcoe Street Friday was heartening indeed. Although the visit by Queen Mother Elizabeth was a most fleet- ing one, hundreds lined the street and waited patiently to catch but a glimpse of her. Women and chil- dren -- and men too, surged into the street as her car approached to wave flags and applaud. It was a warm, friendly reception. The publicity in advance of the Queen Mother's drive through the city noted that it would not be a visit as such but that she would be only travelling through the down- town area on her way to the Na- She Osharwn Times T.

Knowing that at best they could see her for only a moment hundreds. still went to Simcoe and waited the best part of an hour to do it, and the crowd represented a good cross section of the community.. ~ It would certainly be unwise to generalize and to attempt to in- terpret the events of Friday mor- ning as anything like a rising Royalist trend. At the same time it is downright stupid for the scof- fers to decry Canadians' ties with the Crown in the hope of gaining wide popular support. They're buck- ing strong sentiment. : Nationalism, pride in our country and interest in its progress have nothing to do with it. here's nothing subservient in the demonstration of affection and respect shown the Royal Family. It's an intangible really, but as a people, Canadians would be the poorer for the loss of it. Other Editors' Views OLD-FASHIONED YOUNG (Tilbury Times) Many young Canadians are not as bold in their thinking as in their hairdos. Change frightens. them. They fear a free system because it calls for change and adventure. They prefer schemes old as Methuselah that promise security under the name of progress. Too bad that the young are becoming 80 old fashioned. "GEE MOM -- I'M MAJORING IN ADMINISTRATION" Atom's Fury Unleashed 20 Years Ago On Desert By FRANK CAREY ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP)-- At a lonely spot 55 miles out in the desert from here the the atom's fury was unleashed almost 20 years ago--in a blaze of light that could have been seen from another planet. Four stubs of concrete stand like gravestones in the desert sand. They held the 100-foot tower for the Trinity shot, the world's first atom bomb explo- sion. The steel tower evaporated in the blast. The stubs rise from a barren region which early New Mexi- cans called the desert of Jor- nado del Muerto--the Journey of Death--long before the age of the atom. Indeed, these ma- cabre monuments--mere dots against the surrounding peaks of the Sierra Oscuro Range--are the only real testimony to the blast that: 1. Opened the way to a quick ending of the Second World War in the thunder and rubble of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 2. Made the surrounding mountains tremble, lit. up the sky as far away as Amarillo, Texas, 450 miles distant, and rattled windows in Gallup, N.M., 240 miles away. 3. Showed that man had the power--for good or evil--to un- leash, within a millionth of a second, temperatures close to 100,000,000 degrees and elec- trical energy vastly e xceeding the electric power produced by the whole world. All the rest of the clearly evi- dent markers at the heart of the bomb test site are artificial. In the nine - by - nine - yard square marked by the "grave- stones" is a wooden stake bear- ing a weather-beaten sign with the legend "Ground zero." SPEECHES MADE Nearby is a little platform where someone makes a speech every year on the Sunday near- est July 16. That's the only time when outsiders are admitted to the site. It now is the centre of the U.S. Army's 4,000-square- mile White Sands missile range. Spelled out on the sands, 'in weather - beaten, whitewashed rocks, is the legend "Trinity site." It's a kind of advertising sign for military craft passing over the historic place. Around the site, in a circle half a mile in diameter, is a high fence. On the padlocked gate a sign says "Trinity." The fence encloses the area where the bomb's blast and heat literally caused the desert sand to boil, and dug a deep crater at the centre. The site is 200 miles from Los Alamos where the test bomb--and those dropped on Japan--were developed. It's 125 miles southeast of Albuquerque. On the desert near the fence, and surrounded by fences of their own, are three huge earth mounds. Beneath each is a con- crete dugout which housed in- struments the day of the big bang. Gone are all vestiges of the slit-trenches in which some of the top scientists in the U.S. lay at shot-time, their feet to- ward the blast. BUNKER STILL THERE At the six-mile point--a key monument still stands. It is the earth-covered, concrete bunker in which the switch was thrown for the mighty blast. The scene of that historic night in the bunker comes back in the words of Dr. Joseph McKibben, the man who threw the key switch for the detona- tion, He still works on A-bombs and H-bombs at Los Alamos. "Shortly before 5 a.m., we started to close various prelim- inary switches, and then we drove to 'S-10,000,' the control point bunker. CR A irreverent By Gordon Donaldson "The Book" Charts Kennedy-LBJ Feud WASHINGTON (Special) -- Everywhere you went during For, as he said "history is chiefly gossip about great men scenes of presidential jet at Andrews Air- the arrival of the tion and the high vision of the Kennedy administration by an last year's election campaign, there was Teddy White. Hunch- ed in the rear of the terrifying Goldwater jet, plodding in the wake of striding Lyndon John- son crammed into sweaty con- vention halls or lurking in the well-liquored hotel rooms where the politicoes called the shots-- there was Teddy White, a small rumpled figure with a thick notebook. Theodore H. White produced the great book of the Kennedy Campaign -- "The Making of the President 1960". It was more than a classic of political journalism. It charted the way to power in a great democracy. Reading it, anyone who ever aspired to the local Board of Education, or even chairman- ship of the Home and School Association, felt this was the way it was done. USED IN CANADA Lester Pearson's campaign staff certainly felt that» way. They studied dogeared copies of the White book during the 1962 and 1963 Canadian campaigns and referred to it simply as "The Book'. So when. Teddy White took to the road last year -- from th¢ snows of New Hampshire, the * first primary state, to the party conventions at San Francisco and Atlantic City and through the actual election campaign, which was an anticlimax -- the rest of the haggard press corps cherished him as the historian in their midst. Squirrel-like, White hoarded the nuggets of campaign detail. as they behave under stress'. When '"'The Making of the President 1964" hit the book- stores, it stirred up the expect- ed furore. SACRIFICIAL LAMB The 1964 campaign was billed as a battle between Lyndon Johnson and Barry. Goldwater -- a hopelessly unequal contest, the outcome of which was never in doubt. Even Goldwater had little illusion that he was any- thing but a sacrificial lamb in a Republican off year. The good-humored Victorian was distressed when the Demo- crats and the bulk of the press turned him into a sacrificial monster. The most fascinating part of White's book deals with the barely-concealed feud between Johnson and Bobby Kennedy-- who began the year as attorney general, was dumped by LBJ as a possible vice-president, struck out on his own and ended it as senator from New York, elected with Johnson's help. To background the feud, White quotes a memo from the. late Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, which de- scribes an attempt by . Bobby Kennedy to block his brother's choice of Johnson as running- mate after John Kennedy won the Democratic nomination in 1960. ; Graham's account of hotel- room politicking amid sleepless confusion while "LBJ seemed about to jump out of his skin" is magnificent. White then goes behind the force Base, Washington, on the evening of November 22, 1963. This was one. of the most dramatic and certainly the most revealing sights I have. ever seen, The entire might of Wash- ington was there to watch the jet bring back the body of the just - murdered president, his widow and his successor. As the might consisted of dozens of crushed, blank - eyed men, some almost incoherent with grieve, the scene demon- strated forever that govern- ments are not impersonal. On that awful night, Bobby Kennedy ordered the new pres- ident to stay off the lift truck that carried John Kennedy's cof- fin from the plane. LBJ wanted to stand there as _ the TV lights flooded the scene, as a symbol of the continuity of the presidency. But, said White, Bobby insist- ed this was a time for private Kennedy grief. Instead, he stood there with Jackie Kennedy in her blood-caked pink suit. TIME OF YCUTH This rankled, said White. He young man, accustomed to see- paints Bobby Kennedy as a young man, accustomed to see- ing things in black and white, who: believed his brother's ad- ministration was a clean break with the men of the last gener- ation a shining time of youth and action. For him, says White, "When Lyndon Johnson became presi- dent all the yesterdays were re- stored. Something had been snatched from his own genera- assassin's bullet. 'There are millions of people all across this country who feel as Robert F. Kennedy does; for them tiie name of Kennedy is magic, as was the name Stuart under the Hanoverian reign of the Georges; and wherever old or young devotants of the Ken- nedy loyalty gather, the Bonnie Prince Charlie of the faith is Robert F. Kennedy. "Like the Jacobites, await the restoration." This helps to explain the bit- terness of the meeting at which Johnson told Kennedy he would not be chosen as vice-presiden- tial candidate -- he would have they * to make it on his own, A ROW According to White, there was a row a few days later when LBJ leaked an account of the meeting to the press and later denied this. Whereupon Bobby accused the President of not telling the truth. To his long, well-detailed ac- count of a fascinating year which changed the U.S. from a Kennedy to a Johnson - run so- ciety, Teddy White adds one sig- nificant prophesy: "It is sometimes perilous to extract great meaning from a clash of personality. But in the clash of Robert F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, there is a meaning which may continue to agitate the Democratic party for some years to come." So Teddy White is already looking forward to the making of the president 1968 or, more probably, 1972, Provided For MPs By PATRICK NICHOLSON _ OTTAWA--A fair distribution of the work load, and a wel- come striving towards speciali- zation among MPs, are the two 'ood new trends evident from the announcement of commit- tees of the House of Commons for this new session. The personnel of 22 special and standing and joint commit- tees were announced last week. Some are.old friends under new names, such as the prestige-la- den banking and commerce _ committee, which now is named TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 28, 1965... Prime Minister Mackenzie Knig resigned 39 years ago today--in 1926--when, after eight shaky months of mi- nority government, Lord Byng, the governor-general, refused to call a fresh gen- eral election, The Constitu- tional Crisis, as it was called, turned on whether Lord Byng was obligated to accept his prime minister's advice and dissolve Parlia- ment. Instead, Arthur Meig- hen formed his second Con- servative ministry, but its first measure was defeated. In the subsequent election a Liberal government was re- turned which held power un- til 1930. 1712--Jean-Jacques Rous- seau, French moralist, was born. 1886 -- First Canadian iranscontinental train left Montreal for Port Moody, B.C. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--1st Canadian Division went into the line again at Messines; Austro - German forces captured Halicz, Ga- licia; action continued on the Italian and Gallipoli fronts. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- General Balbo, the Italian governor of Libya, was killed in an aircraft accident; HMCS Fraser sank after a collis- ion in French waters, with 66 dedd; 39 died in a Ger- man air raid on the Channel Islands, which were being partty evacuated. Neither John Nor His Nobles Moved By Such By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP) -- Big things were happening early in the 13th century and all the best people knew it. The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was struggling to assert his independence from papal political control. The armies of the fourth cru- sade were intent on dismember- ing the Byzantine empire rather than recovering holy places. Against these great events, the dissensions in England -- then a country of only :ome 3,000,000 population -- between King John and his barons at- tracted little attention. There was no outpouring of public rejoicing after John met 25 rebellious barons at Runny- mede, in the Thames valley above London, and put his seal on Magna Carta June 15, 1215 --a flowering, stormy day that probably syited the king's mood. The Great Charter was not primarily concerned with ordin- ary people but with limitations on royal power and the privil- eges of nobles. Yet it is re- garded as a constitutional wa- tershed and is cited even today as a source of basic principles establishing the liberty of the individual and the rule of law. It marked the transition from an age of traditional rights, pre- served in the nation's memory, to the age of written legislation, of parliament and statutes. "Here commences the history of the English nation," wrote Lord Macaulay. - "In future ages it was to be used as the foundation of prin- ciples and systems of govern- ment of which neither King John nor his nobles dreamed," wrote Sir Winston Churchill in his History of the English- Speaking Peoples. Even though the vain and proud John may not have under- stood the full implications of the concessions wrung from him by the 25 barons, history indicates that he returned to his castle at Windsor in foul humor. "They have given me five- and - twenty over - kings,'" he shouted, flinging himself upon the floor and furiously gnawing the sticks and straw that formed the castle carpet. Behind him at Runnymede, the barons made sure that copies of the document were sealed and sent to separate cities, Three copies remain in- tact. COPY ON DISPLAY The best-kept copy, at Lin- coln Cathedral, will be on dis- play this summer--under lock and key--and a spokesman said . "We expect a big demand with the anniversary coming at the height of the tourist season." The other copies are at Salis- bury Cathedral and the British Museum. The 63-clause charter is still mentioned from time to time High Motives in English courts of law and Lord Chief Justice Parker re- cently invoked it in a House of Lords debate. But its true sig- nificance is frequently debated and. sometimes mildly de- bunked. Churchill, while admitting the charter includes no statement of democratic political prin- ciples, wrote: Me "Throughout the document it is implied that here is a law, which is above the king and which even he must not break. This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a gen- eral charter is the great work of Magna Carta; and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it." Its two main clauses, trans- lated from the original Latin, read: "No freeman shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or out- lawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land. "To no one will we sell, to no ~ deny or delay right or jus- ice." JURY TRIAL BORN In these and other clauses 17th century lawyers were to find a basis for such fundamen- tal English -- and Canadian-- privileges and rights as trial by jury, habeas corpus, equality before the law and parliament- ary control of taxation. Would-be debunkers point out, however, that such terms as "freemen" have vastly changed since the 13th century, when they embraced only a small group in the population. YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO June 28, 1950 Board of Education honored Miss Etta Holmes and Miss Greta Ellis who retired from the: public school teaching staff after many years of service. The OCVI teaching staff paid tribute to Principal A. E. O'Neill on the occasion of his promo- tion to the office of..co-ordinat> ing principal of Oshawa's two secondary schools, 30 YEARS AGO June 28, 1935 C. W. Lambert was installed as the Ruling, Wor. Master of Lebanon Lodge, 139, AF and AM. He succeeded W. M. Nor- man A. Rae. Local House of Friendship pro- vided 8,520 meals and 3,009 beds for transients during the first five months of its operation. the committee on finance, trade and economic affairs, Others are new, such as the culture sags with the unwieldy name: e committee on broadcasting, films and assistance to the arts, All these committees have 24 members, except the nine-man committee on procedures of the House of Commons. This very important group is exceptional, in that its chairman and two members are present cabinet ministers, while three other Members are past (Conserva- tive) ministers. George Mcll- raith, the government's house leader, and Solicitor - General Watson MacNaught and Trans- port Minister Pickersgill repre- sent the Liberals; Mike 'Starr, Gordon Churchill and Marcel (Lambert represent the Conser- vatives; procedural expert Stan Knowles represents the NDP while another expert on proce- dure, Bud Olson, represents the Socreds and Quebec City's new- comer, Jean Beaule, is the Cre- ditiste member. By tradition, cabinet minis- ters do. not sit on committees, although in special cases a min- ister may be summoned to ad- dress a committee. For exam- ple, External Affairs Minister Paul Martin recently gave the committee on external affairs perhaps the best and most inti- mate review that committee has heard in living memory; and next week Revenue Minis- ter Benson may appear before the committee on food and drugs to describe hte effect QUEEN'S PARK upon the price of drugs of Can- = unusual users' tax in this eid, But the Pearson government has introduced a new step, which is in every appropriate case to have the parliamentary secretary to the relevant min- ister sit as a member of the committee. Thus Fort Williams' Bert. Badanai, parliamentary -- secretary to Immigration Min- -- ister Nicholson, is a member of the committee on Indian af- fairs, human rights and citizen- ship and immigration. And if you want an example of a name which does not put first things first, that is it! . WORK SHARED FAIRLY This column pointed out some months ago. that a Liberal MP from Vancouver, Ron Basford, was a member of no less than 10 committees. The inevitable result was that he had a shame- ful attendance record--it was not humanly possible to attend sO many committees whose meetings frequently overlapped. _This session a much more fair spread of work has been at- tained, Only two MPs sit on as many as five committees; only 17 even' sit on four; while 92 MPs are members of two com- mittees, and 66 are members of three. In addition to cabinet minis- ters, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker Lucien Lamoureux and deputy chairman of committees are normally members of none, Very few other MPs avoid this interesting and important work. Even Socred Leader Bob Thompson is on the finance and immigration committees, and NDP leader Tommy Douglas on the committees on crown cor- porations, finance and external affairs, In contrast, Creditiste Leader Real Caouette and the Tory leader are members of none of these committees. This spread of work will ob- viously permit more consistent attendance by MPs, and should lead to a large increase in their specialized knowledge in their chosen fields. NDP Comes Out With Good Marks By DON O'HEARN + TORONTO--The NDP comes " out of this session with good marks, The eight-man group of the second opposition party now is an effective fighting force. It has always had two top de- baters in leader Donald Mac- Donald and in Kenneth Bryden of Toronto-Woodbine. 2 This year it added another fine critic in James Renwick, who won last year's Toronto- Riverdale byelection. And young Stephen Lewis of Scarborough West and E, G. (Ted) Freeman, who first sat in the House in 1964, were more effective with a year's exper- ience under their belts. The NDP members study the fields they specialize in and dig deeply into them, This means they speak not only coherently, but usually with a good fund of concrete information to throw at the government. WERE EMOTIONAL In the past the group has in- clined to be overly emotional, or excitable, particularly Mr. MacDonald. There was the impression of frenzy. And of course in view of the party's strong uphill fight and small representation it was quite logical there should be frenzy. But this year there was much less. evidence of this excite- ment. Rather the party reflected de- termination and a_ persistence which reflected a strong confi- dence not only in its positions but also in itself. A lot of credit goes to Mr. MacDonald for this new atti« tude. The NDP leader showed a new maturity at this session. But the most impressive in- novation in the NDP, to this writer, was the presence of Mr. Renwick. This successful corp- oration lawyer has added a touch the NDP has never had in this house, and which it has needed, Mr. Renwick knows his way around the business world, the insurance industry and other areas which aren't too familiar to many NDPers. And his knowledge showed not. only in the criticism he was able to offer in these fields, but in more balance on the part' of his colleagues. : Presumably he was able to speak knowledgeably in the party caucus and steer his col- leagues away from dead horses they otherwise might have beaten. This former Liberal has been an outstanding addition to the NDP ranks. Whether he is of leadership calibre is not to be hazarded yet, but he will be a bulwark to his party as long as he stays in politics and within its ranks.
