Russell Honey, Liberal MP for Durham, said that this rep- resents his view and he intends to press it with committee chairman A. J. P. Cameron prior to the issuance of the committee's report on auto safety. Production line workers from the General Motors Osh- awa plant, from Ford's Oak- ville operation and from Chrys- ler in Windsor were strongly critical of the companies in evi- dence. given to the committee Wednesday. Asked if General Motors would accept an invitation to appear before. the justice com- mittee, a spokesman told The Times this morning: "I think we might have something to say about this later in the day." In prepared briefs and in answers to questions from com- mittee members, the workers accused the companies of know- ingly allowing potentially un- safe cars to get into the hands of dealers through their desire to step up production volume. Four GM workers in Oshawa were included in the delega- tion. They were: Bob Tremble, Eric Downer, Hugh Armstrong and Ron MacDuff. "There was a great deal in their evidence which disturbed me and which indicates there is a direct dahger to the public in the inspection methods now employed,' Mr. Horiey said. "I think that in all fairness to the companies they should be in- vited to appear before the com- mittee to refute the evidence we have been given if they can." He said that while the com- panies had given evidence to the committee earlier, they had not testified or been ques- tioned on the specific question of a relaxation in inspection and testing standards. "I feel that their appearance now would enable the commit- tee to hear both sides of this question and to make a more reasoned assessment. It is in the interests of the manufac- turers, the union and the pub- lic generally to get to the bot- tom of this auto safety prob- lem which is apparently having such severe effects on demand, production and employment in the industry," -Mr. Honey de- clared. ASK! HOLD BACK It is believed that the com- mittee has largely drafted its report and is anxious to pre- sent it to the commons before the end of the current session, the report could be held back a few days to permit one further meeting of the committee to hear the manufacturers' side of the story. The Durham MP was chiefly responsible for arranging for the production workers to appear before the committee. He said he wanted further, documented evidence of the situation after the Cana- dian Labor Congress had made some broad, general criticisms to the committee several weeks ago. committee about inadequate in- spection of cars "'appear to be a cold, deliberate misrepresen- tation of the industry's position on safety,' said a spokesman for General Motors of Canada Ltd., in Oshawa today.

Stevens appears to -be on the outside looking in at the affairs of the financial giant he helped to build. The 40 - year - old financier signed control of his holdings in the $130,000,000 British Interna- tional Finance (Canada) Ltd.. over to a voting trust Wednes- day and tendered: his resigna- tion as president. It was the latest in a rela- tively-rapid series of develop- ments in his career, which has been of national interest since he tangled last month with James E. Coyne, former gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada and president of the Bank of West- ern Canada. As a result of that hassle, Mr. Stevens had earlier resigned as chairman of the western bank, which started out with BIF hold ing a controlling interest. A statement issued Wednes day by the administrators of the voting trust forecast changes in the set-up of the BIF group. "A special examination of or- Zanization and financial rela- lationships of the BIF group is continuing to be made... as a guide to future planning," the gfatement said, SUPREME COURT SEEN NEXT STOP THIRD EXPULSION IN CENTURY Powell Is Unseated By U.S. House WASHINGTON (CP-AP) -- The House of Representatives has taken away Adam Clayton Powell's seat in the 90th Con- gress, but the constitutionality of its decision probably will be fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. While the 58-year-old Demo- crat .from New York's Negro Harlem district relaxed at his Bahamian fishing retreat on the Isle of Bimini, his. lawyers called. Wednesday's vote by the House unconstitutional and raised the threat of a court suit to overturn if The House itself may have to deal with the matter again, per- haps within two months, A spe- cial election will be held to fill Powell's seat and there is every likelihood he again will be elected to fill the post he has held 22 vears "It will come back to hannt the House said Representa- tive Emanuel Celler. (Dem, N.Y.) after the House rejecte the recommendation 2 ame se lect committee to seat the Ne- gro Democrat with a stiff cen- sure, a $40,000 assessment and the loss of all seniority. Representative Arch Moore Jr., the West Virginia Republi- can who fought alongside Celler for adoption of the censure pro- posal, told the House: "If we turn him out, his constituency will turn him back with an even greater majority." THIRD TO BE EXCLUDED In a series of three votes, the House made Powell the third member-elect to be excluded from membership in the 20th century. The only persons suffering similar fates since 1900 were Victor Berger, a Wisconsin so- cialist convicted of sedition, and Brigham Roberts, a Utah Mor- mon who had been convicted of polygamy. The key vote came on a move shut off debate, block all Sie 4h and bring the cen- sure p posal to an immediate to vote. This was rejected 222 to 202, with 113 Republicans and 109 Democrats joining to defeat 71 Republicans and 131 Demo- crats. Then, by a vote of 248 to 176, the House substituted a. pro- posal by Representative Thomas Curtis (Rep. Mo.) to exclude Powell from the seat and throw out the committee's censure plan, Finally, it voted 307 to 116 in favor of the amended resolution and thus barred Powell. Curtis, who said later he had been picked by Republican leaders: to offer the exclusion motion, said he felt the facts re- vealed by the Celler committee "warrant his (Powell's) exclu- sion from this body, not to pun- ish him but to maintain the dig- nity . . . of this body." The committee had accused Powell of converting to his own use more than $46,000 in gov- ernment funds and of contemp- tuous behavior toward the courts of New York--in connec- longstanding libel the tion with a judgment -- and toward Celler committee itself. Although his future was un- certain, the action meant that as of 6.55 p.m. Wednesday night, Powell ceased to be either a member or a member- elect of the 90th Congress, His $30,000 annual salary will stop and he will have to vacate his office. Under the U.S. constitution, expulsion of a member must be by a two-thirds vote, but exclu- sion before the' member is sworn in is by a majority vote. As for a special election, a spokesman for New York Gov- ernor Nelson Rockefeller said one- must be called within. 30 to 40 days after the governor re- ceives official notice of the House action. New York City officials made it clear that Powell could run and be elected without ever setting foot in New York, where he is under an.ar- rest order in connection with the libel judgment. free on bail. | FRANK FE, _ FITZSIM- MONS said he would make no changes in union policy if he were to take control of the Teamsters.
