'She Oshawo Times Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ~ T..L. Wilson, Publisher -- MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Refusal To Halt Bombing Shows Lack Of Realism President Johnson's refusal to entertain any idea at all of a unilat- eral pause in the U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam will come as(a~ sharp setback to those who see such action as essential to real discussion af nance. He says such a pause has been tried twice with these results: +». our boys sat there and watched the enemy He didn't pause. He kept up his bombing. He threw his hand grenades. He lobbed his mortars into our troop encampments and killed U.S. Marines, sailors and soldiers ,.." While such U.S. resentment can be justified it hardly provides a way to a solution, or, for that matter, the continuing slaughter of U.S. boys in Viet Nam. Wars are never fought "fairly". That the U.S. president remains ao adamant, Chester Ronning, the retired Canadian diplomatic spe- cialist on the Far East has added his voice to those urging a stop to the bombing"6f-Nerth Viet Nam. As U Thant has long' maintained, Mr. Ronning contends there is no hope whatever of opening a way to negotiations until the bombing ends 'unconditionally. As The Kitchener-Waterloo Re- cord notes, there is no evidence that the bombings have made any differ- ence in the course v1 wise war, the effect of their ending would be symbolic as much as anything. By ending the bombings, the United States would not necessary be sacrificing a great strategic ad- vantage. As in the Second World War, the Viet Nam bombings, which have now reached the intensity of the war against Hitler, seem to be having little noticeable~effect on production or morale, It is possible they represent that aspect in the U.S. involvement which most militates' against acceptance of negotiations by the Vietnamese. And the point is made also by The Reord that they must also re- present a good part of the huge cost of the Viet Nam war, which is now having its widespread effects even in countries not involved, A Job Finds Lynda It must be pretty tough for a person in the position of Lynda Bird Johnson to try to be a career girl, as The Welland Tribune notes. The 22-year-old daughter of the Presi- dent of the United States has been hired by McCall's Magazine to be a part-time writer and consultant, with her duties to consist of de- veloping articles and originating surveys to report on the lives of young men and women, particu- larly on college campuses.

That's a fair assessment. But while Lynda Bird was admittedly look- ing for a job, she didn't go hunting work at the magazine. They went after her. Her writing ability may be an unknown quantity and her qualifi- cations to be a consultant on origin- ating campus surveys may be equally obscure. The magazine people won't lose aufy'Bleep over this. They have her name onthe pay- roll and if she needs bolstering in her work, there are staffers avail- able to render the needed support. But there's what is known as "box- office' in the byline and in the fiercely competitive big magazine field, this counts tremendously. After all, The Tribune recalls, normalcy was restored very quickly after about a week of pros, cons and jealous outpourings when Lord Snowden decided to accept a posi- tion as photographic expert with e Sunday Times of London. In thisease, however, there was no question about Lord Snowden's skill _ in the profession, PAYMENT 'ACT OF GRACE' ret OTTAWA REPORT. Russian Officials | Charge For Views OTTAWA -- A: report from Moscow describes a new prac: tice which may make newspa- pers more costly to produce and also more profitable to publish. Foreign journalists there now are being charged for inter. views with Russian officials. A newsman's routine visit to ob- tain information from a Krem- lin bureaucrat costs about $50; higher prices are levied for broadcast interviews, exclusive photographs and scoops. Journalists here could, per- haps justifiably, be charged for private interviews, as distinct from press conferences, with our government officials. After all, a reporter's talk with an official keeps him away from nis work, aia thus costs the taxpayers up to $15 an hour for his salary, plus overheads. This Russian breakthrough onens un fascinating prospects. Saskatchewan's premier, Ross Thatcher, has raised substan- tial sums for his. Liberal party by organizing $50-a-plate ban- quets addressed by himself. He might as readily fill his party's coffers by charging the commu- nications media for interviews. Canada's most news - making premier would be good value at $50 for a talk, or at $250 for a recorded interview. And what price tag. could be put on other pols? Maybe, they should organize a Political Per- formers Union and negotiate for a standard fee. On a televi- sion interview,. John Diefen- baker would fetch more than the ordinary comedian on -a network extravaganza. Alvin Hamilton would always be a good $100 value for an inter- view with a business editor, and Ralph Cowan should rate $500 for his exposition of his Liberal views to a feature writer. PAID ADVERTISING As the reverse of that coin, Dalton and Davie, now known around Parliament Hill as Camp and Scamp,. could be charged by newspapers for pub- licizing their personal views on their leader; and Finance Min- ister Sharp should certainly pay the Press Gallery for the over- time work caused by his bud- gets. Those alert guardians of the taxpayers' money, our federal MPs, are once more seeking questions with which they can probe possible misuse of public funds, Referring to the recent byelection campaign in Nicolet- Yamaska, the daily press has reported that two cabinet min- isters, Pepin, sent their aides to work for the Liberal candidate there. This suggests the following bonus questions: "What are the annual salaries paid to the ex- ecutive aides of Energy and Mines Minister Pepin and Reg- istrar - General Favreau? Are these salaries paid out of public funds? Do those salaries cover full-time employment in govern- ment offices? What government work were those aides per- forming in Nicolet - Yamaska during September, 1966?" DISINTEGRATED NAVY Now that Defence Minister Hellyer has retired all our young and successful admirals on pension, and thus heen en- abled to push ahead with inte- grating the services, science appears to be distintegrating the navy. Conventional ships are becoming museum pieces. The office of the British high commissioner here reports that a new method of ocean travel is coming, as British designers of the "hovercraft" are now looking ahead to larger hover- ships capable of long range. This new hybrid ocean-grey- hound-airliner will be as large as 4,000 tons, and will transport hundreds of seasick-free pas- sengers or 1,600 tons of fre'ght across the Atlantic from Halifax to Plymouth in 48 tours. The Mayflower took 60 days for the east-to-west crossing. A revised version of the Lord's Prayer is being tried out in Australia, For "Give us this day our daily bread," this sub- stitutes "Our bread of the mor- row give us this day"--which seems to be a commercial plug for finance companies, Liberals Placed Squarely On Way To Continentalism By KEN CLARK Canadian Press Staff Writer The national Liberal policy conference in Ottawa placed the government party more squarely than ever on the road to continentalism. The strongest voices took the North American approach on economics. Narrow "buy - back Canada" nationalism was soft-pedalled. Delegates generally opted for the broad view. Resolutions fa- vored a North American free- trade area and a welcome. mat for foreign investment, which is largely from the U.S. Significant moves towards greater Canadian contyoi of tne economy at the expende of U.S. investment failed to make much impact. One of the effects is to widen the policy gap between the Lib- ergls and the New Democratic Party, whose more nationalistic approach. calls for strong meas- ures to assert Canadian control of the economy. SEEN AS SHARP VICTORY Some observers picture the Pevtuapiaataneieanatnnt conference results as a black- white defeat for the left-leaning nationalistic policies of Walter Gordon, the former finance min- ister. The victor was his suc- cessor, Mitchel! Sharp, looking outward to enefits of « U.S. ties. It was probably not all that clear-cut. Vigorous pro-Gordon views were aired and many voices warned about putting all of Canada's economic eggs in one American basket. The continentalist view has the advantage of being the sur- est 'way to maintain and im- prove the Canadian standard of living. On the other hand, traditional opposing arguments talk darkly of the loss.of both economic and political independence for Can- ada if it gets too tightly bound to the U.S, Being hinged to the U.S., the more insular say, means poten: tial reduction of Canada's power to make decisions to improve its own economic condition, WIDE INTEREST ATTRACTED U.K. Compensates Victim Of Violence By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--He was a brilliant young university stu- dent with-glittering prospects. Then a gang of thugs set upon him, injuring him so badly that his mental facul- ties were impaired and his whole nersonalitv§ changed Doctors said he would be un- able ever to do more than the most simple types of work. Until August, 1964, it would have been almost impossible for this tragic young man to gain financial compensation, except. by suing the culprits for common law damages--a chancy business even if the hooligans were caught, be- cause they might have no money. But under an experimental scheme which is attracting interest in many countries, the student was awarded £15,580 - ($46,740) from treasury funds -the largest award yet made by the Criminal Injuries Com- pensation Board, a non-statu- tory body set up by govern- ment white paper two years ago. The scheme, operated by six lawyers under the chairman- ship of a judge, provides for the first time in British his- tory the chance of compensa- tion for a victim of criminal violence, regardless of whether. the person was in- jured in trying to "further the course of justice' and regard- less of whether the offender is brought to book. LEGAL TWIST TO LAW Until its inception, ihe view of the British legislature was that- injury caused by one An applicant dissatisfied person to another was a mat- ter for civil court action be- tween the two persons in- volved. : Technically, payments «by the new board are made 'ex gratia" --that is, as an-act of grace without legal binding-- Belauad ascevaen ota Upioias the principle that the state is not liable for such cases of man's inhumanity to man. The white paper setting up the board explained that the public does, however, feel sympathy and a sense of re- sponsibility for the innocent victim "and it is right that this feeling should find practi- cal expression in the provision of compensation on behalf of the community." In the two years of its ex- istence, the board has. paid out £791,041 - ($2,373,123) in settlement of 2,516 claims. A further 1,468 claims are still under investigation by the board, 287 were dismissed and 49 abandoned by the appli- cants, making a total of 4,320 claims handled up to Aug. 31, 1966, Payments are always made in lump sums, not in the form of pensions. PERMIT APPEALS Claims pour into the board's Bloomsbury office, in Lon- don's publishing district, at the rate of 10 to 12 a day. Each is handled by one mem- ber of the board and the pri- vate hearings are kept as informal as possible. A claim may take up to three months to resolve ding on the ana with the award--or lack of it may appeal. Claims are heard a second time by a tribunal of three board mem- bers, excluding the member who first heard the case. Claims are occasionally re- jerted if dene tac ay a too minor to rate compensa- lary but there is no hard-and- ast ruling on minimum disa- bility. Loss of earning power, future as well as present, is taken into account. Claims may also be dis- missed if the board member is not satisfied the injury re- sulted from a criminal attack. In one case recently, an initial award of £16,135, which would have been the biggest yet, was reduced by 10 per cent to £14,522 because the board held the victim was 10 per cent responsible for provoking the attack. The chief requirement laid down by the board is that in- juries must be reported imme- diately to the police. Delay may lead to rejection of the claim. The question of compensa- tion for crimes of violence had been simmering in Parliament for some three years' before the board was set up. Previ- ous legislation had provided only meagre benefits for lim- ited categories of victims. An 1826 law, for instance, provided compensation for persons who, whether injured or not, risked injury by help- ing stop a thief or performed a similar act assisting justice. Rut it was rarely put into practice. thea detiew + The Criminal Justice Act of Messrs Favreau and. 1948 empowered magistrates to order an offender to make restitution for loss or injury-- but only to the limit of £100 and only in cases where the offender was about to be dis- charged or put on probation. sa Jaiiua'y, i903, New cea land blazed a trail by intro- ducing the Criminal. Injuries Compensation Act. Britain's non - statutory, experimental scheme followed eight months later. Yet the workings of the board receive little publicity in Britain, probably because it is reluctant to disclose de- tails of claims. TOOK OWN LIFE It is not generally known, for instance, that police as well as civilians are entitled to claim for injuries, as are dependents of police killed on duty, In the shocked aftermath of the triple police murder in west London in August, money flowed in from all over ihe country to help the stricken families. Police used some of the money to set up a special fund in case of future trage- dies. As it happened, the board had just then fallen into dis- favor with the Police Federa- tion over its handling of a case in which an injured po- liceman, awarded an interim payment, killed himself. His widow was awarded only £300 because the board took into account her police pension, and her anneal was dis- missed.

John Burgoyne was sent to Canada in the spring of 1777 to replace Sir Guy Carleton as commander of the troops. The move was an intentional slap in the face for Carleton on the part of Colonial Secretary Lord Germain who had a grudge against him, It backfired against Britain. Many of Burgoyne's troops had been recruited from Ger- many because Britons did not like the idea of fighting their former fellow-countrymen in the United States. The Germans made a strange appearance in Quebec in their stiff uniforms dating from Frederick The Great, They also liked to tame wild animals, and when the time came to march through the state of New York many of them Were. accompanied by bear cubs, raccoons, and eagles with clipped wings. Burgoyne and some of his officers also had "pets,"' only they were attractive ladies, They travelled in carriages along with their officers' uni- forms and supplies of wines. As there were few roads except those built through the 'woods by the troops, the going must have been rough. Burgoyne's objective was to take his army to the Hudson River where it would be joined by another British army from New York. The New. England states would be cut off, Unfor- tunately Burgoyne chose the wrong route. Instead of going by Lake George, which would have been longer but easier, he marched his army through the wilderness south of Lake Cham- plain. His men not only had to build a road, but 40 bridges, one of which was two miles long, Many of the Germans and In- dians deserted, The final blow TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Ort. 17, 1966...

It had been diverted to attack. Phila- delphia.

Mr. Johnson has been so busy trying to kill will o' the wisps in Vietnam he has ignored the oldest but still biggest problem of world politics -- the chism between the communist and non- communist countries of Europe. Five years ago the fledgling President Kennedy tried to patch up relations with the Soviet Union which had stag- nated through the Eisenhower- Dulles years and had his fing- ers burned in anether Berlin crisis. Kennedy was trying again to patch up relatiens with the when he was murdered, but Johnson dropped Europe like a hot tamale and concentrated, first on domestic policy and then on his Vietnam adventure. Vietnam is still the prime topic here; and one is often icuipiea "vw velleve the world revolves around bit players like Marshall Ky,General West- moreland and Ho Chi Minh, Now, however, there has been a belated return to reason. In his New York speech 10 days ago, Johnson made good on an earlier vague promise to 'build bridges to the east" by pro- viding some concrete abut- ments. NEW THEME He suggested the West and the Soviet bloc move forward from "peaceful ,coexistence'"' to what he called "peaceful en- gagement"' -- the beginnings of a new togetherness. For extend U.S. credits to Iron Curtain countries, reduce res- trictions on U.S. export of non- strategic goods to these count- ries and remove some Ameri- can restraints on travel across the Iron Curtain. He also sug- gested both sides might reduce the number of troops facing each other across the old and rusting barrier. When Gromyko arrived in Washington for his first White House visit in. two years, the result was eagerly awaited, The Russian veteran was slip- ped in through a back door of the White House, posed for some sombre pictures with the President and slipped out again to avoid the press, Great pains were taken to avoid the impression that he making concessions to the Am- ericans or even being pleasant. As it turned out, the Ameri- cans were taking more pains to protect Gromyko's _reputa- tion as a hardliner before Rus- sia's communist allies than Gromyko wanted. When he emerged late at night from talks with Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, he was in high an un - Gromyko like good humor. He joked with reporters and said progress had been made towards a treaty which would ban the spread of atomic weapons. High U.S. officials immedi- ately moved in to squelch this kind of talk, remembering any mention of non . proliferation instantly offends the Germans who still hope for some share in nuclear policy, 'Sas at any Billy Gra- ham meeting.
