TORONTO (CP) -- Ontario's new legal aid plan, scheduled to start Jan 9 1087, hae heen de- layed. No new: date has been announced. The Law Society of Upper. Canada, which will administer the plan, has not. completed drafting the program's regula- tions. When the draft is fin- ished, it will be sent to -Attor- ney-General Arthur Wishart who will present it to the On- tario cabinet. A spokesman said Thursday was unrealistic. He said the so- ciety's program committee has heen working overtime to com- plete the drafting process, For the plan, the province has been divided into 46 regions and each will have a regional direc- tor resp le for administ ing legal aid within his jurisdic- tion. No directors have been ap- pointed as yet, the spokesman said, and names of suitable can- didates are on file for only about half the regions. night the Jan. 2 starting date Once the regulations have NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.

It centres on the proposed Ca- nadian transportation commis- sion, which is to get vast pow- ers over nearly all aspects of a major segment of the national economy. Absorbed and, in some cases, extended under the new com- mission will be the powers now wielded by several government agencies in the separate fields of air, rail, water and road transport.

This has resulted in a great many changes in the original government proposals. They now have reached the nub of the question of parlia- mentary control. Transport Minister Pickers- gill has already said he is at- tracted by a proposal aimed at nailing down Parliament's ulti- mate control. As yet, he has) made no move to incorporate it) in the bill before the Commons. | URGES REVIEW PLAN Gerald W. Baldwin (PC-- Peace River) placed the pro- posal before the Commons just before the Christmas adjourn- ment. He urged Mr. Pickersgill that a small parliamentary committee be required by law to review the administrative actions of the new super-board. It would have an opposition MP as chairman, as now is the case with the public accounts committee which acts with the auditor-general- as the watch- dog over government. spending. But most importantly it would) be guaranteed the staff and technical experts essential to weigh the transport commis- sion's actions in regulating rail, road, water and air transport. The proposal arose from dis- satisfaction of the four Atlantic and four western provinces, the grain and other shippers with the present board of transport commissioners. Alvin Hamilton (PC--Qu'Ap- pelle), former Conservative ag- riculture minister, summed up| this dissatisfaction this way: "In effect, the board of trans- portation commissioners made its own law, and in a good many cases that law was the law of the railways. Railway figures and opinions were ac- cepted as fact," THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Becomber 30, 1966 3 Fight In Commons Predicted C es s He foresaw two main results) from the Baldwin proposal. Par-' liament '"'would have some con- trol over the operational side of our transportation systems and some parliamentary ma- chinery by which positive ex-} pansionary concepts of railway development could be put for ward. WANT WIDER POWERS Mr. Hamilton had two main contentions -- the new super- board should get even broader powers than those proposed by the government to direct trans- port companies, and Parliament should assert its right to review the commission's actions after a period of time to fix new guidelines, if necessary, for fu- ture transportation policy. Mr. Pickersgill said the idea of such a parliamentary com- mittee appealed to him. He had some doubts about making it a statutory require- ment. Mr. Hamilton replied that the Baldwin proposal would guarantee the commission "will not get out of complete touch with Parliament." Mr. Baldwin says he'd like to see his idea of a statutory com- mittee extended later to cover broadcasting and Mr. Hamilton agrees. They argue that current Com- mons committees, lacking ex- pert staffs, operational funds Both Plants oo al (AP) -- American Motors . announced Thurs- Sons anes 1S SaOeare te eee AMC plants which are located in Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wis., already were on a cur tailed three-day work 'week Bae, the Dec. 26-31 period in a pro- duction cut.
