Zubkavich, son of Milton Zubkavich of LONDON (AP) seeking in --Britain is turning toward new laws on the United States model racial discrimination in employ- ment.

Twenty whites with roughly the same educational qualifica- tions were sent to the same firms. They were either offered a job or told one was vacant. The race relations board was informed, but it could not act. Labor unions have largely re- stricted themselves to resolu- tions opposing discrimination. On the factory floor, the pat- tern of discrimination is clear and many companies have been kers. After national officials of the engineering union stepped in, the strike ended with the colored workers still on the job. Management and unions vir- tually boycotted a recent con- ference on racial' equality in employment. Ben D. Segal of the U.S. Equal Employment Op- portunity Commission told the meeting: "I'm not sure which side of the Atlantic I'm on when I hear the 'rationalizations that some spokesmen for business, indus- try and labor use against the content to follow the lines of least resistance.

Burial will fol- low an 11 a.m. service in Rose- dale Presbyterian Church in Toronto. He came to Canada at the age of 15 from Wales and rose from an apprentice printer earning $1.50 a week at Brant- ford to become one of Canada's leading publishers. . The Liberal senator was in good health almost until the day of his death. On Wednes- day he and his wife motored to Burial Rites Due Today For Late Senator Davies home in Toronto since he relin- quished an active interest in The Whig-Standard and the Pet- erborough Examiner and radio and television stations in the two cities. Prime Minister Pearson ex- pressed sorrow over Senator Davies' death. "It was with sorrow and re- gret that I learned of the death of Senator W. Rupert Davies," the prime minister said. "During his lifetime he made important contributions to Ca- nadian life in the fields of pub- lishing, broadcasting and public affairs. "His record of achievement in these fields speaks for itself and will not soon be forgotten. "On behalf of myself, perso- nally, and the government of Canada, I extend sincere con- dolences to all members of his family." in an |Nassau in 1954. !

He published weekly news- papers at Thamesville and Ren- frew, Ont., from 1908 to 1925 be- fore buying The British Whig in Kingston.

Bladen, author of the Bladen commis-, sion report on financing higher education, expressed doubt Sat- urday that the report's recom- mendations will ever be fully implemented. He told a symposium Queen's University here at that there is a scarcity of resources. for this type of investment in Canada. "No provisions have been made anywhere in Canada on the scale we have suggested," he said. "Enthusiasm on the part of elected governments does not appear to be very great." "The amounts we will spend will depend on how far we are prepared to go to give educa- tion expenditures priority." He said high priority is given to spending in such areas as medical aid, housing, poverty and pollution. $5000?
