(AP Wirephoto) 7-Year Plan Failures Seen MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Prob- lems in the agriculture sector continue to hold back Soviet eco- nomic development, Russian Communist Leader Leonid Brezhney told the 23rd Soviet Communist Party congress to- day. Brezhnev admitted that Rus- ee i i ended in 1965 failed to meet some important targets, notably in sericulture. "The lag in agriculture began to impede noticeably our for- ward movement, had a negative effect on the rates of growth of food and light industries, and did not enable us fully to carry lout-planned measures in raising the people's living standard," he said. Nevertheless, the party's goal of beating the most developed capitalist countries in per capita production was being "consis- tently accomplished," he said. LEVELS CRITICISM In an apparent criticism of former premier Khrushchev, re- moved from power 17 months ago, Brezhney said that when the seven-year plan was drawn up in 1959, "certain miscalcula- tions were made and:some un- due haste was permitted as a result of a subjective approach." Similar charges have been levelled against Khrushchev fre- quently since 1964. Brezhnev said a new five-year plan to be ratified by the cur- rent congress would cut the gap between production of heavy in- dustry and consumer goods, and Truck Talks between industry and agricul- ture. Though heavy industry would still receive priority, greater re- sources would be channelled "to THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, March 30, 1966 7 Sharp Slashes Tariff On Oriental Carpets OTTAWA (CP)--Big balloons and Oriental carpets will drift into the Canadian market more freely following tariff cuts an- nounced in the budget speech Tuesday night.

They are designed to carry logs over rough terrain, such as the logging areas in the British Columbia mountains. The balloons now will be sub- ject to British preferential tar- iffs of 10 per cent, most-favored- nation tariffs of 12% per cent and general tariffs of 20 per cent. Duties formerly ranged from 10 to 50 per cent, Oriental carpets and rugs im- ported from Commonwealth and most favored nations, with pile hooked or knotted by hand, benefit from a reduction to 15 per cent from 25. General tar- iffs applied to all other coun- tries are unchanged at 40 per cent. Rugs from India and other de- veloping Commonwealth coun- tries are particularly affected by the cuts. BENEFIT IMMIGRANTS The only other major tariff reductions benefit immigrants, florists and candy distributors. Plant cuttings of new carna- tion varieties now are duty-free, with the removal of a tariff of 12% per cent. Tariffs on liquor- ice candy in various forms are cause the whole trade pattern of the free world is under nego- tiation in Geneva among mem- ber countries of the General rade. All .teriff changes are effec- tive today. Automobiles and other per- sonal possessions brought to Canada by immigrants now be- come duty - free.

The Kennedy round of tariff talks in Geneva is one of the largest in history involving Can- ada. The talks will have to come to a head this year to produce tariff cuts before mid- 1967 when the Trade Expansion Act of the United States is to expire. The minister said he received many suggestions for tariff changes, the great majority for cuts rather than increases. Many of the ideas had consider- able merit but the time was not ripe.

Labor Minister Nicholson told | the Commons Tuesday the scheduled meeting could result in 'sustained negotiations' | leading to an end of the strike. | The meeting was called by William Dickie, who assumes the post of director of Ontario's conciliation services next week. Observers have expressed op- timism on the grounds that Mr. Dickie, who held private dis- cussions with both sides earlier this week, would not have called the meeting unless there was some evidence that both sides are prepared to make some concessions. Some 8,500 members of Tor- onto, Hamilton, Windsor, Kings- ton and London locals of the independent teamsters' union are involved in the strike against 55 inter-city trucking firms which are bargaining jointly. WANT 40-HOUR WEEK Main issues include: --A union demand for a 40-| hour work week in a three- year contract. The companies have offered to reduce the work week to 43 from 48 hours in a 34-year contract; --A wage increase of more than the 58 to 63 cents an hour proposed by the truck- ing firms. City drivers re- ceived $2 an hour before the strike started; highway driv- ers received a mileage rate. Union jurisdiction over in- dependent owner - operators hauling for trucking firms on a contract basis: --Withdrawal by the compa- nies of a proposal that would permit them to fire employees who take part in wildcat strikes, without recourse by the union members to griev-| ance machinery; | --Withdrawal by the firms of | damage actions against the Hamilton local and some in| dividuals as a result of last fall's wildest. strikes EXPECTED TO LAST While officials prepared to re- sume negotiations, a survey by the Canadian Industrial cane League, made up of industrial and retail companies employing | a traffic manager, showed that more than half the league's 800 | Ontario members are prepared | | SHOP STRIPE DISCOUNT FOR ALL EASTER CANDY & GIFTS.
