AP Wirephoto Defence Policy Test Crucial For Hellyer for pilots, The longer a pilot's By DAVE McINTOSH experience, the bigger the in- OTTAWA (CP)--The big test of Defence Minister Hellyer's policies is expected this year. On the outcome may hang the political future of the 42-year- old minister who has made it as plain as he can, without a/| formal announcement, that he intends to run for the Liberal leadership when Prime Minister Pearson retires. Friday, the defence depart- ment announced increased pay Pilots' Pay Flying High OTTAWA (CP) Pay In creases ranging from $300 to $3,060 a year for RCAF, navy and army pilots, effective Feb. 1, were announced Friday by the defence department. The largest increase will go to flight lieutenants or equiva- lent--navy lieutenant or army captain--with 16 years' service. Total monthly pay and allow- ances for a married flight lieu- tenant with 16 vear's service now will be $1,088 instead of $833. The increases will cost the de- partment an estimated $3,650, 000 annually. At the.same time, the depart ment will save $8,900,000 annu- ally by cancelling the so-called proficiency flying program un der which pilots maintained their flying skills--and entitle- ment to aircrew allowances-- while serving in ground jobs. Aircrew allowances ranging from $75 to $150 a month will be cancelled for pilots but re-| tained for navigators, radio of- ficers and other members of aircrew. There are 2,755 pilots in the armed forces, including 837 in ground jobs. There are 2,264 RCAF pilots, 330 navy and 161 in the army. crease. In effect, Mr. Hellyer shat- tered the old concept of equal pay for equal rank. A pilot with the rank of flight lieutenant now will make more money than an officer three ranks above him. Mr. Hellyer has thus laid down the principle that armed forces. pay will be based on skill, not rank. Previously, get- ting a promotion has long been the only means of obtaining a pay increase. The effect .of morale among navigators, radio officers and other members of aircrew is ex- pected to be upsetting. On the other hand, the effect may be helpful for technicians unable to get more pay because the promotion road was blocked by quotas in superior ranks: be- ing filled. Few, if any, members of the armed forces appear opposed to the policy of integration, set in motion in mid-1964. But there have been strong objections to some methods used. Mr. Hellyer himself con cedes mistakes were made. To what degree these mis- takes have caused the exodus from the armed forces isn't known. But in the 18 months up to the end of January an aver- age of 600 men left the armed forces every month. This exodus was February with the ment of $200-a-vyear re-enlist- ment bonuses. But the drain may not be halted, informants say, until manpower strength is down to some 100,000 or 23,000 fewer than when Mr. Hellyer took over the defence portfolio halved in announce- A reduction of 110,000 was in- tentional.

At its last convention the fed- eration also decided to demand more autonomy from the cen- tral labor body. It grill insist that the Quebec federation be recognized as "different" from the other provincial groups. Some labor leaders believe there will be strong resistance to any special treatment for the QFL, which contributes about 200,000 members to the 1,200,- 000-member CLC. CLC President Claude Jodoin, a former vice-president of the QFL, is hoping to head off a floor fight on the issue.

Several other contentious is- sues are also scheduled to come up for debate among the dele- gates, expected to number be- tween 1,600 and 1,800. The Seafarers' International Union of Canada, kicked out of the CLC six years ago for raid- ing other affiliates, has applied for re-entry.

Others: have tended to go along with the view of the trustees who say these men have reformed since Banks was fired by the trusteeship two years ago and later fled to the United States to escape a prison sentence for conspiracy' to as- sault.
