2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 29, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN GOLDBERG MR. STARR GOES TO WASHINGTON Washington, D.C. -- "Mike" Starr won't soon forget the posh, red-carpet welcome put on for him here. i It was a dazzling show -- it had to be seen to be believed, Mike's host and friend -- U.S. Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg -- waited around for more than 30 minutes when Mr. Starr's plane was late arriving Wed- nesday from Ottawa for his two-day visit. Then there were the swank social events: The State Department luncheon at Blair House with labor, consular and government big-wigs in his honor. The colorful reception for the Starrs by the Gold- bergs in the new $21,000,000 State Department Building (Hon. Orville L. Freeman, Secretary of Agriculture; Congressman Adam Powell; and Hon, George D. Aiken were there). Mr, Goldberg, 52, a lifelong labor lawyer, was once general codfisel for the CIO and had the same relation- ship to the steel and other unions. He was also legal consultant to the AFL-CIO, He is able, friendly and highly regarded by government, labor and, more lately business. He's also a top Kennedy favorite. Mr. Starr, the first Canadian of Ukrainian descent to ever hold a Federal cabinet post, (who left school at 15 to augment the family income, who once worked for 16 cents an hour making picture frames) moved easily in such a cosmopolitan atmosphere, He also drew praise later for his deft handling of a 40-minute press inter- view (with 22 Canadian newspapermen, radio and tele- vison representatives) on such controversial subjects as employment and unemployment. MR. KENNEDY DISPLAYS HIS WIT When Mr. Goldberg introduced Mr. Starr to Presi- dent Kennedy in the White House Wednesday, the dia- logue went something like this: Mr.G.-- Mr. President, I want to introduce you to Mr. Starr. Mr. K.--It's a pleasure, Mr. G.--Mr. Starr and myself have several things in eommon. Mr. K.--Is that so ? Mr. G.--Yes, for one thing, his parents come from the Ukraine, which is where my parents once resided-- in Kiev. Mr. K.--I have worked very closely Ukainian people around Boston. Mr. G.---~We have something else in common -- he's minister of labor for Canada while I'm sacretary of labor for the United States. Mr. K.--(Laughing) This sounds very impressive, but all I can say is that you're a pretty ominous looking pair to me. WASHINGTON'S "CHANGING FACE" Twenty Canadian newspapermen were included on the guest list Wednesday for the Starrs' reception in the State Department Building, "This is an innovation seeing those press-types on equal social footing with so many diplomats and con- gressmen, "quipped a fidgety little photographer who stood near the long sandwich table, sipping sherry and commenting out loud to anybody who would listen. "This is the work of one man -- Arthur Goldberg. He's always doing things like this, with social justice undertones, Goldberg hates sham. I've been around this city 30 years and I've never seen anything like this. This city is changing fast." He sipped a little more, chewed on a sandwich, then continued: "This Kennedy administration moves fast because it feels that the hour is late, that there's much to be done in a short time, if we're going to survive. "This New Frontier spirit frightens me sometimes. This Kennedy crowd moves fast. They don't dilly and dally like the Eisenhower crowd, but they frighten me. "They make big decisions, real big, before you can snap a finger. "Jack Kennedy says, 'no--don't hold a meeting to decide this matter -- decide it now, right here, today! That's the way things are being done at high level in Washington today, -- plenty of heads are falling too, but you don't hear much about it." DR. VIPOND HAS A DOUBLE Ever hear of Tom Van Dusen of the Federal Depart- ment of Labor ? Van Dusen, a former Ottawa newspaperman, is executive assistant to "Mike" Starr when he is not working around his house in Aylmer where he resides with his wife and six children, The only reason Van Dusen gets into this story is that he bears a striking physical resemblance to a man who was Mr, Starr's Liberal opponent in the most re- cent Federal election -- Dr. Claude Vipond. To see Van Dusen and Dr. Vipond side by side would be quite a treat (although the former is more slender than the latter), > Van Dusen, incidentally, has never met the doctor, but he is acquainted with his father, Hibbert, a contrac- tor who resides in Ottawa. There was another Oshawa touch to the meetings here. Almost everywhere "Mike" Starr went, he was ac- companied by Pat Conroy, the labor attache of the Canadian Embassy, Washington. Pat was an occasion speaker in Oshawa when he was secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Congress of Labor (1940-51). He has been in Washington since he joined the consular service in 1951, the first person to ever hold down the office of labor attache with the Department of External Affairs. PORT PERRY CHURCH 75 YEARS OLD When John C, Taylor was eight, his parents took him to the first service ever held in the old Port Perry Methodist Church, now the United Church of Port Perry, which is to mark its 75th anniversary on two successive Sundays (tomorrow and May 7th). Mr, Taylor, a lifelong member of the Church who still resides in Port Perry, hopes to be on hand for both services. He is believed to be the only remaining "orig- inal member".

Such a move would lead to difficulties and contradictions, said Frank McGee (PC--York Scarborough), the Commons' leading proponent of outright abolition of capital punishment. Mr. McGee told the House that the government, which has |said without elaboration that jt will amend the Criminal Code's mandatory requirement that the death penalty be passed on persons convicted of murder, is "preparing a bill to limit the application of capital punish- ment." He indicated that the British sysetm would be followed under likely legislation--life imprison- ment for murder in most cases but with the gallows kept ready for capital crimes committed during a theft, or with a gun or bomb, or if a second mur- Hees Sees Strength In Trad OTTAWA (CP) -- Recent trends justify attempts to place, Canadian Press Staff Writer structing a cease-fire by asking ostorn secretary of the Canada's trading eggs in more baskets abroad, Trade Minister Hees told the Commons Friday. compensate for a lower rate of exports to the United States, he| major war over the little Asian| THREATEN BOYCOTT said in a general review of his ider conviction had been re. corded or if the victim was a policeman or prison guard, SCOFFS AT IDEAS | Mr. McGee scoffed thinking.

"When you draw that line a case which qualifies for capital punishment will differ so infini- tesimally from one just on the other side of the line that for all practical purposes there is no difference." Under the British system, Mr. McGee said, a man would be hanged if convicted of shoot- ing and killing his wife. But the same man would escape the gallows if he killed her with a hatchet, boiled her in oil, or chose to 'strap her to a board in the style of the Perils of Pauline and run her into a buzz-saw."
