NUMBER DECLINES IN U.S. OF THOSE FAVORING VIET WAR Rv The American Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) If the American people today were given two alterna- tives -- continuing the war in Vietnam or withdrawing their troops during the next few months -- the vote would be 440-3 to continue. i Although 'a greater proportion of people sampled in the latest survey (48%) say the United States should stay in Vietnam than say it should get out (35%), sentiment favor- ing withdrawal has grown considerably since a year ago. In June, 1965, results to a comparable question showed opin- ion nearly 7-to-2 in favor of continuing the war, The average citizen obviously is not a military expert, and does 'not have access to information available only to tae Administration. Yet his views are important information for a government whose policies, to be successful, ultimately require public understanding and support. Among the generai pubiic, Democrais tend to favor con tinuing the war, but Republicans are about evenly divided in their. views. A greater proportion of men than women would like to see the U.S. stay in Vietnam, Education is a factor, With the better educated more inclined to favor con- tinuing the war.

Covered in the field of organized crime, the report goes on, is nar- cotics distribution, bankruptcy, ar- son, insurance frauds, gambling, counterfeiting, the planning of maj- or robberies and the large-scale dis- position of stolen bonds, jewelry and furs. The report, tabled in the legisla- ture, notes another disturbing trend, the infiltration of legitimate businesses by known criminals and suggests this is a trend 'that has lately become more prevalent".

The well-organized promen- ade of President de Gaulle of France, through the Soviet Un- ion, could just possibly lead to a fresh judgment on the ques- tion of who in contemporary .f- fairs is the real leader of the Western world Because of American wealth and nuclear supremacy, Presi- dent Johnson naturally as- cended to the leadership role and seemed to meet its terms of office with his Great Society theme. But that was before 'Viet Nam ensnared him 'and _be- clouded his international repu- tation While de Gaulle roams the world, Johnson has yet to cross the Atlantic as president. Ru- mors crop up that the Ameri- can leader is about to descend on Europe and hug it to his breast, to convince it-of his sin- cerity and sadness over Viet Nam But those who say Johnson is not There is some doubt such a trip would serve any useful purpose, The Viet Cong appear to have pinned Johnson in Washington. EVENTS LIMIT WILSON To some extent, events also have limitéd the operations of Britain's Prime Minister Wil son. He has been to the Soviet Union, in a rather decorative, tourist-like role, while his main hops haye been to the United States, where he will make still another appearance next month. It has been left to de Gaulle to make what may.turn out to be the most glamorous and most dramatic trip of all. So far, de Gaulle hasn't given much away. He moves with the thrust of history, a_ paternal image bestowing aristocratic acceptance on the struggling, rustic revolutionists And the U.S.S.R. comed him with an pectancy, hope that who dared challenge power and ha wrecked the North itary structure will - provide them with a new alliance that will drastically realign the Eu- ropean power balance Some observers maintain de- Gaulle's trip can only be a be- know coming. whether should wel- air of ex- this man American virtually Atlantic mil- has ginning; that he hasn't the power to make any really sig- nificant deals; that the friend- ship path he has chosen will have to be lef for cultivation by his successors But the U.S.S.R. has it in its hands to add glory to de Gaulle's stature, even at this stage, The crucial issue is Ger- many, without which there can be no European settlement The prospect of a_ reunited Germany could possibly wean even.

TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 29, 1966... Ignace Jan Paderewski, the world - famous pianist and former prime minister of Poland, died -in exile 25 years ago today in 1941-- when his homeland was un- der Nazi occupation. Always a strong nationalist, Pade- rewski made propaganda during the First World War which contributed to the re- establishment of Poland after more than a century of foreign rule. He served as prime minister for 10 months in 1919 but aband- oned politics until 1940, when he became president of the Polish parliament in exile, at the age of 80 First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--Sir Roger Casement was sentenced to death for high treason in obtaining German aid for the Easter Rising in Ireland; British raiding parties were active on the Western Front. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1941--Lord Beaver- brook was made British minister of supply; Ger- many announced the capture of Lvov, Poland; 29 pecple were arrested in New York on charges of conspiring to spy in the United States. prvi ter etn AT FIRST, AN EMOTIONAL REACTION vm EA ncn gan LH I mutt UNDULATING BARRIERS OF FORCES Berlin Wall Stresses Stark Confrontation By JOHN BEST EAST BERLIN (CP) -- At first it's different to see the Berlin Wall because you don't know what to look fer. Then you begin to notice it, and it's everywhere Seeing it for the first time, you find it impossible to sup- press an emotional reaction. You think of the cliche about the wall being a monument to the failure of a system--the Communist system But this is less meaningful than the realization that quickly strikes you of how stark the confrontation is, here in Berlin, between East and West.

Much of it con- sists of the walls of houses, apartment buildings or facto- ries with the space between them bricked in The wall itself, erected in 1961, stands 10 feet or so high and is topped with embedded, broken glass or barbed wire. At key points there are yopo patrols, and leashed police dogs prowl for would-be refu- gees trying to get to the west against almost impossible odds. There are also wide strips of open area with signs warning people to keep out. You guess that they're mined, Peering through the Bran- denburg Gate, which used to be a crossing point but now is sed to east-west traffic, you see little knots of tourists and West Berliners peering in- quisitively into the eastern sector ' Checkpoint Charlie, one the few remaining road | is a busy place.

Our experiences with the S-bahn, if not painful, were no less difficult than those of Ber- liners This was largely because we often had three different types of currency to count up and declare--West German marks, American dollars and Amere ican dollar travellers cheques, East German marks pre- sented no problem--you're not allowed to take them to the West.

It had little effect. Young boys of 15 to = gray- beards of 80 were rushing to join Montcalm's army, or do what they could Wolfe's armada of 250 ships including 49 men-of-war had completed the journey up the St. Lawrence by June 26, Cap tain Cook, who became famous later for this exploration of the Pacifie Coast, was responsible for one of the greatest feats of navigation of all time. The arm- ada stretched for 50 miles, but he got every ship to Quebec Wisi OTTAWA REPORT through waters that were prac- tically unchartered. Montcalm had. prepared his defences carefully and felt he could hold on until the river began to freeze, Then the Brit- ish fleet would have to retreat. However, he had two great handicaps. One was the crooked intendant, Francois Bigot, who had diverted many supplies that should have been in Quebec, in order to make a profit for him- self. The other was Governor Vaudreuil who countermanded some of Montcalm's plans. The French general wanted to forti- fy Point Levi across the river from Quebec, Vaudreuil would not allow him to do so. The British s@ized the position easily and used it to bombard Quebec from early in July until the city fell on September 13. Safety Hindered | By Jurisdictions By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The problems of our system of government, with jurisdiction divided between federal and provincial govern- ments, are handicapping efforts to reduce our highway traffic toll This became very obvious during the two-day conference convened in Ottawa by the Ca- nadian government -- specifica- tions board committee on the automotive vehicle safety code. For instance, provincial govern- ments license drivers; but com- pulsory breath analyses testing of impaired drivers is arguably an infringement of human rights, which is a federal mat- ter. Similarly, the federal gov- ernment appears to consider that it could not legislate safety features into the manufacture.of, motor vehicles; so il footing this point by pf list of safety features which must be incorporated in' pas senger vehicles which it buys for its own use While the possible alleviation of our grave national problem of highway accidents ts thus a grey area, there was no dearth of constrictive thinking at the conference, Fispecially the in formation papers prepared for the committee were admirably informative and exhaustive in their study of the past and their speculation about the future While some papers were bru- tally frank about the social. ir- responsibility of the aggressive driver, and especially the drink- ing driver, a paper on The Ve- hicle suggested that the auto- mobile might have to be elimi- nated from its present, position as an unfettered means of trans- port Many possible alternatives to the owner-driven automobile haye been proposed," said this paper, "'such as (A) automatic control of all highway vehicles; (B) high-speed cross-country transportation of vehicles on rail or highway trains, with individual control limited to local low-speed traffic; (C) Jong diStance } is: pussy- compiling passenger transvori entirely by rail, bus or aircraft, and local travel by vastly improved mass transportation systems sup- A > plemented as "local" cars that role." This paper sketched the 70- year evolution of today's auto- mobile, dividing this into three periods. First, up to 1927 effort was concentrated on the cheap mass production of the "motor- ized buggy,' overcoming its major deficiencies, and protect- ing its occupants against the weather. From 1927-1941 was the "engineering period," which saw the evolution of the config- uration of car which we know today, treating the vehicle as an integrated whole rather than as a collection of assemblies. Since 1941 engineering effort has been centred on comfort, styling and convenience; the latter half of this period has produced only a very few safety features, such as improved door latches, lap-straps, some deep- dish steering wheels and im- proved door latches, lap-straps, some deep-dish steering wheels and improved headlights. But, argued this paper, it has grad- ually become evident to the in- dustry and to the public that, if the automobile is to retain its position, a substantial reduction will have to be made in the in- cidence of death and injury re- sulting from its use.

Fire guest George Lewis, deputy Marshall for Ontario, speaker at Rotary. It was Vaudreuil who ordered fire ships to be sent among the British fleet on June 28. Montcalm was opposed to the plan, which turned out to be a complete failure. The command- ing officer of the fireships pan- icked and deserted, and others followed him. Only one captain stayed with his ship and was burned to death. The British sailors simply put grappling hooks on the fireships and tow- ea them to shore, laughing and hooting at the French who watched. Montcalm and his offi- cers were disgusted. Even at that critical hour, Bigot made a profit for himself. He bought the fireships, but charged the government three different prices for them.

And the blame principally lay with the civil service. It couldn't, or wouldn't, ad- just its machinery so that it had , a sufficient volume of business ready for the early session, The consequence was that the house dawdled, there was some talk by private members in the throne debate, but actually lit- tle business of any importance was done until the session re- sumed until after the Christé mas break-off. LOCAL LAW Yet if this fall session had been a success there would be no necessity for the sittings going into the summer, which they now are doing--and inev-. itably resulting in some ennul in the conduct of the business of the public. Quite aside from this there are very strong reasons why there should be a fall sitting of. the house. P Ideally most of the legislation dealing with muni cipalities-- and there is a great volume of this--should be processed then. The situation now is that pri- vate bills and other municipal matters come before the house from February on. This meane that in many cases they must be considered by new councils, which have taken over office at: the local elections only a few weeks before. , CAN BE CHANGED The result is that with private hills they can lag, and on occa- sion are approved too late to even get before the house at the, current session. With general legislation it can, mean that the councils can. be too raw to catch the implica- tions and make the protests they might otherwise register: This situation can be changed: The civil service may need @ whip in this case, but it can be brought into line. And give us one good swelter- ing hot spell before the house prorogues and the members may be insisting that the whip. be applied.
