It took a lot less than seven days for the public controversy to reach the stage of strike threats by Toronto and Ottawa producers and to land in the laps of the 25 MPs, who make up the Commons committee. The committee meets at 11 a.m. EST. The task of its members will be to sift through the welter of charges and denials for clues to the state of affairs in the pub- licly-owned corporation. The Seven Days crisis began less than a week ago. Co-hosts Patrick Watson, 36, and Laurier LaPierre, 36, were told thay would not be used on the show next season. PROTESTED QUICKLY Public protest was rapid to |this news about a public affairs |program which claims a net- work audience of 3,000,000. State Secretary Judy La- Marsh, who reports to Parlia- ment for the CBC, went before, a political convention of the Lib-} eral party's younger elements to explain why. LAURIER LAPIERRE, co-host of CBC-TV's This Hour Has Seven Days, said 25 MPs To Discuss "This Hour' Firings In the past, he suggested, it has been slanted and included sleazy things. The staff mishan- died controversial topics and resisted management di- rectiyes, SAID DID JOB WELL Hosts LaPierre and Watson and producer Leiterman made it plain they regard controversy as their job and figured they handled it well. Mr. Leiterman saw as an un- derlying issue a division be- tween top management and su- pervisors of public affairs over "conversial programming." Mr. Watson said he was dropped from the show mainly over doubts about his loyalty to the management and the CBC itself, Management also had questions about "my attitude toward my country." Mr. LaPierre said he was ad- vised the reason for letting him out was that "I lacked loyalty to the top management of the CBC and also that I allowed my personal opinions to show on the program."' He pleaded guilty-- "and I am very proud of being guilty"--to letting his opinions show. 'SQUABBLES NOT NEW Internal squabbles in the CBC THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdoy, April 21, 1966 3 Gordon Backs Grain Sales TOKYO (AP)--Donald Gor- don, president of the Canadian National Railways, said Thurs- day most Canadians regard Canada's large grain sales to China as desirable and as an eventul contribution to peace. Speaking at the Foreign Cor- respondents Clup of Japan, the former executive of the Bank of Canada said he had participated in some of the negotiations wiih the Chinese and had become convinced that trade is of pri- mary importance in producing understanding among countries with different political systems. He had been struck, he said, with the ease with which tough, formal discussions. with the Chi- nese rapidly turned into per- sonal friendships once a feeling of respect had been created. HAS OWN MIND Speaking of Canada's inde- pendent foreign relations, he said it had maintained "a mind of its own in Viet Nam' where | it is a member of the three- nation armistice commission. The Canadian member acted impartially in reporting all vio- lations. He listed Canada's stand on Viet Nam and China as signs of a policy independent from that of the United States. Speaking of internal problems, he described the movement of French-speaking Canadians for greater cultural identity as but one of many evidences of dis- agreement within the confeder ation, He said the result would OTTAWA AT - A--GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS WEDNESDAY, April 20, 1966 The budget debate contin- ued in the Commons and ths government introduced three new items of legislation. The new items would in- crease the lending capital of the Farm Credit Corp., spell out that Newfoundland con- tinue to get a special $8,000,000 grant each year and integrate existing government pension plans with the Canada Pen-- sion Plan. Prime Minister Pearson gave notice that special com- mittee hearings will be held on collective bargaining for the civil service. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers issued a letter calling for low-salary civil servants' to abandon their present organizations in a bid for the right to strike.

He also said she once was engaged in espi- onage activities. The CBC recovered $2,000 of the interview payment by re- sale of film to NBC in the United States. Transportation costs and staff expenses added another $3,050 to the coverage bill. Mrs. Munsinger was given 88 minutes of television time in regular newscasts and 19 minutes in special newscasts.
