One PC President Welcomes Rival For Top Party Post TORONTO (CP) Dalton Camp, president of the Progres- sive Conservative Association, Thursday said he welcomes Toronto lawyer Arthur Maloney as a rival. Mr. Maloney earlier in the day announced he will chal- lenge Mr. Dalton's position at the party's three-day confer- ence which begins Nov. 14 in Ottawa. "This will give the party a chance to express itself on the two points of view," Mr. Camp told a luncheon meeting of the Osgoode Hall Law and Literary Society. Mr. Camp has been cam- paigning across the country for Firm Questions Safety Of Competitor's Product By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons drug prices inquiry de- cided Thursday to dig deeper into statements by a Montreal drug manufacturer that com- petitors sell eimilar but cheaper tranquillizers whose potency variations raise questions of safety. sThowe are serious charges, ean you back them up?" asked Dr. Lewis Brand (PC--Saska- toon) in questioning senior offi- cers of Smith, Kline and French, a Montreal subsidiary of a large United States drug maker. Robert F. Daily, SKF vice- president and general-manager, and Ross F. Bethel, SKF's tech- nical manager, promised to sup- ply the committee with two sets of scientific tests to support their case. The company's brief named the manufacturing rivals as Micro Chemicals Ltd., in asso- ciation with Paul Maney Com- pany, and Jules R. Gilbert Ltd. WANT TIGHTER LAWS SKF cited the practices of these companies in support of the contention that patent and drug safety laws should be tightened to provide greater protection for the general public and for drug developers against imitators selling at lower prices. SKF told the committee that Micro Chemicals - Paul Maney obtained a compulsory licence on SKF's process for producing trifluoperazine, a potent tran- quillizer used as a calming agent in cases ranging from minor to major menta) ill- nesses. Free of the costs of research and development, the company sold it at' prices 20 per cent lower than SKF's but with po- tency variations that meant a patient may "suddenly receive a 20-per-cent increase or de- crease in dosage" besides on the average getting 16 per cent less of the -drug than SKF's product. The SKF officers said tests in their own labs and tests com- missioned by the company from Warnock Hersey Laboratories established the potency varia- were even beyond the potency variations allowed in the offi- cial British Pharmacopoeia, Speeches Piped To Hospital For Ailing Governor - General OTTAWA (CP) -- Via tele- phone, Governor-General Vanier heard himself address the ban- quet Thursday night opening the first annual meeting of the Planned Appeal Right Defended OTTAWA (CP)--The power of the proposed Public Service Commission to hear appeals against its own decisions was actended Thursday by Arnold Heeney.

He is also a former chairman ef the Civil Service Commis- sion, to be succeeded by the Public Service Commission once the legislation is passed. Other witnesses have criti- eized the fact that the commis- sion will not only have the power to approve promotions, transfers or lay-offs in the civil service but to hear appeals against its own decisions.

He said in Ottawa that the majority of Progressive Con- servative members of Parlia- ment have pledged him support in his campaign to become party president. In an interview after his speech Mr. Camp would not comment on reports from' Ot- tawa that party headquarters had distributed an agenda for the November conference with- out consulting him. NOT SURE IT'S TRUE "T have heard this but I am not sure it is true. I would not like to comment until I know just what the situation !s." Normally, Mr. Camp, would determine the agenda in con- sultation with the party's prin- cipal officers and the national executive. Meanwhile, the Ontario Pro- gressive Association revealed Thursday that attempts will be made te head off any discussion on the.national leadership issue. at the provincial body's three- day annual meeting starting here Sunday. E. A. Goodman of Toronto, chairman of the resolutions committee and @ backer of Mr. Diefenbaker, said the idea is to keep the meeting focused on Ontario matters and not have it become an "advance battle- ground" for a fight due at the November national convention. of the militiamen guarding the bridge was killed. AP Wirephoto DON'T PUT BACK HANDS OF TIME TORONTO (CP) -- When daylight time ends at mid- night, Saturday, Oct. 29, don't turn' the hands of the clock back an hour, warns an expert. Stop it for an hour instead --and avoid damage to the works, says clock expert James Brown, In letters to Toronto news- papers for the second year, Mr. Brown warns that turn- ing the hands back on a striking clock damages the pins and levers which oper- ate the strike and chime mechanisms. The result could be an expensive over- haul of the whole clock, he said, Instead, stop the pendu- lum on valuable clocks for the first hour of standard time, he advised.

OTTAWA (CP)--The spotlight shifted from housing to labor problems in the Commons Thursday with both Liberal and pposition MPs suggesting a good, hard look at the current labor situation. David Lewis, deputy House leader of the NDP, suggested the government set up special machinery to handle strikes in the transportation field before the next crisis arises. The debate took place during consideration of labor depart- ment estimates which had been before the House on three pre- vious occasions, Debate contin- ued until the House adjourned OTTAWA (CP)-A trusteeship that Parliament clamped on tne Seafarers' International Union of Canada three years ago is due to expire at the end of this vear. Government sources say there is almost no chance that it will be extended. The SIU will be on its own as of Jan. 1 Some labor leaders are un- easy about the government's re- luctance to extend the trustee- ship legislation by cabinet or- der, Spokesmen in the shipping in- |dustry have also voiced doubts privately to the government, They face critical contract ne- gotiations with the SIU early in 1967. Labor's uneaseiness' is evi- denced by the fact that the Ca- nadian Labor Congress has still not readmitted the SIU, despite federal trustees: last spring. The CLC's April convention in Winnipeg approved, after bitter debate, a resolution giving the 21 - member executive council }power to take the SIU back.

Two sessions of the executive council have been held since April and there have been in- formal talks with the SIU lead-| ership on reaffiliation.

Earlier, the House gave first reading to National Housing Act lamendments which. would in- crease the aggregate amount of loans insurable by Central Mort- gage and Housing Corp. and widen areas for loans for stu- dent housing, rental housing and sewage-treatment plants, MUST CONSIDER INTERESTS Mr. Lewis, a veteran labor lawyer from the Toronto riding of York South, said it is 'not always possible to strike for as long as the labor partner in the situation may like," especially when the interests of society "require that a strike be ended before damage which might be irreparable is done." But this did not justify com- pulsory arbitration, he added. "The process af rallactiva bargaining dies" when compul- sory arbitration becomes statu- tory.
