Ukrainians Push Ukrainian! Engineer "As Next Governor - General WINNIPEG (CP)--The idea of a Ukrainian Canadian as the next governor-general is ad- vanced in two of eight briefs being submitted to the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism today by Ukrain- ian organizations. Many -of the triefs complain that Ukrainian Canadians and others of ethnic origins other than British and French rarely get senior appointments in the federal public service. A good start in rectifying the situation could be made by choosing Governor-General Va- nier's successor from among prominent members of this "third element,"' it is suggested by the Curatorium of Ukrain- rainian Catholic Teachers' Soci- ety. "It, is time for the govern- ment of Canada to do more than pay lip service to the contribu- tions made by other ethnic groups," the curatorium brief says. SHOW AGREEMENT Most submissions agree on the following proposa! --Teaching of Ukrainian as an accredited subject in Man- itoba elementary and second- ary schools and in universi- _ ties. --Recognition of the Ukrain- ian community and other ethnic groups by such cul- tural agencies as the CBC, National Film Board and Can- ian Catholic Schools and the Uk- ada Council. 'HAVE-A-WHITE-BABY GUY RUNNING INTO OPPOSITION JOHANNESBURG (AP)--A South African official who urged all white married couples between 20 and 25 to have a baby to celebrate the Republic Day anniversary next year is running into cri- ticism. Michiel Botha, deputy min- ister for Bantu (Negro) ad- ministration said white couples should "'give a white child to this wonderful coun- try of ours" to celebrate South Africa's fifth anniversary as a republic May 31. Commented Mrs. Jean Sin- clair, president of Black Sash, a women's anti-apartheid or- ganization: "This call of the master race to give a white child to the republic next year has an unpleasantly familiar ring for those who remember the ex- hortations to the German people during the years im- mediately preceding the last war. "We ask the minister why | he has singled out 25 per cent | of the population to produce | babies to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the republic." | South Africa has about 3,- 500,000 whites in its total pop- | ulation of 17,000,000. The rest | are Negroes, coloreds (mixed | blood) and Asiatics. Botha, father of seven, said if 427,000 white couples have babies in 1966, there will be an average of 1,145 babies born each day. "IT will leave town," tered one obstetrician. mut- Raises In Civil Servants Cost $8.6 Mi OTTAWA (CP)--The federal government today announced salary increases for some 19,300 professional employees that will cost the federal treasury some $8,600,000 annually. The increases range from four to six per cent and are! retroactive to July 1, 1965. The average increase is $446 a year.| Revenue Minister Benson who made thé announcement, said the "interim adjustments" were aimed at current problems of recruitment and retention of professional employees in the public service. The pay announcement said the government will examine 2r recom mendations on ie group A professional cate- gory early in the new year to consider. whether further in- creases, effective July 1, 1966,/ would be warranted. Next July; is the mid-point in the two-year) pay cycle. | The increases amount to four| per cent for classes with a pay maximum of $6,060 a year or} less, five per cent for classes between $6,060 and $7,900, and six per cent for those above $7,900. The increases apply to about | 16,750 employees under provi-| sions of the Civil Service Act, | including a number from) groups B and C who. are in- volved in classification revision. |"'we must remember these are llion A Year Claude Edwards, president of| the 80,000 - member Civil Ser-| vice Federation of Canada, said he hoped that 'both the government and all employees realize that these increases are only a down payment and that there should be much greater increases granted next year after further pay studies on the |group A and B categories." He said the federation would continue to press for "retroact- ive'? payments for A and B categories based on the period| prior to July 1 this year.

Ukrainian Canadians paid taxes like everybody else and were entitled to equal rights. There are frequent reminders) that the so-called third element accounts for nearly half the population in the Prairie prov-| inces. Government grants are re- quested for Ukrainian cultural) foatitutions. Broadcasting sta- tions and the press are asked) to devote more attention to the, cultural life of all ethnic groups. URGES RECOGNITION The Ukrainian Cultural Educational Centre, in a br printed in English and Ukrain- ian, says the constitution should recognize the languages of all groups forming an integral part of Canadian life. The Catholic teachers' sub- mission says pupils should be taught first in their mother tongue, whatever it is. "We now fear that new (Manitoba) legislation might make it im- possible to maintain further our own ancestral heritage." The Lakehead branch of the \Ukrainian Canadian Committee |says the terms of reference of |the royal commission could "'re- vert our community to Paige jination and isolationism' and jshould be revised to rchbdates ithat Canada is multicultural. The Ukrainian Professional and Businessmen's Club of Win- nipeg says it may have been a mistake by the federal govern- ment to set up the inquiry.) Fears of discrimination |been revived after lying dorm- jant for many years. Accredited Ukrainian courses) in school are also advocated by the Ukrainian Catholic Womens) League of Canada and the ex-| ecutive of the Ukrainian Wom- ens Organization. ' Several briefs request the fed- eral civil service commission to define bilingualism as _profici- ency in any two languages spoken in Canada, provided one of them is English or French. | This would prevent discrimina- | civil servants of| tion against Ukrainian origin.

OTTAWA (CP)--The Freed- man commission has absolved Douglas Fisher of responsibility in causing the 1964 CNR run- through strike, but said he helped it along after it started, Mr. Justice Samuel Freed- man also rejected the publicly- owned railway's contention that Mr. Fisher's acti~'ties generally produced a deterioration in la- bor-management relations, The brief wildcat strike oc- curred Oct. 25, 1964, when the CNR began running trains through terminals at .Wain- wright, Alta., and Nakina, Ont.
