2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 19, 1961 QUESTIONED IN SLAYING Frank Watson, 40, was ar- rested in Toronto and was to be taken to Montreal in con- nection with the slaying of Keith (Rocky) Pearson, Que- bec underworld figure. Wat- son, above left with two To- ronto detectives, is on bail on a charge, laid two months ago, of possessing a dangerous weapon. Pearson's bludgeoned body was found in a shallow grave at Varennes, 20 miles east of Montreal, two weeks ago. --(CP Wirephoto) GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CM PLAN OR PARALLEL NEEDED If City Council can make such a hode-podge of the build to admin o of a $55,000 swimming pool, is it qualified - the City's ($7,000,000) business each year? We hope the pool is functioning when this is read, but its oft-delayed opening pin-points some grave de- ficiencies in our municipal machinery, ones that demand hii LYMAN GIFFORD early attention. The pool fiasco is so symbolic of many of our municipal ills it is dis turbing--it spells out once again that this Council, with a poor record of achievement, is needlessly overburdened with an an- tiquated horse-and~ buggy municipal set-up that should have been junked five years ago, that can only lead to more serious trouble in the future. This Council, like its predecessor, is attempting far too much detail work without laying out policy; even a casual visitor at \ open meetings can see that it is weighed down too heavily with trivia, that there is a sad lask of co-ordination between civic de- partments, When you consider that our councillors are all working men (with one exception), that they have al- veady completed one day's work by the time they have arrived at City Council to consider grave issues, is it not essential that their job be streamlined so that their energies can be directed in the right way? This suggestion will evoke little more than stifled yawns around City Hall generally, but what Oshawa needs without delay is a city manager, or some para- lel form of government, so that a definite line of au- thority will be established and Council's work expedited with a minimum of delay. The responsibilities of the day-to-day activities of the city department would be the city manager's with the Council responsible for matters of policy. In other words, Council should decide what is to be done and 'then depend on 'the administration to 'cafry out these functions. Such a fiasco as has occurred in the Rotary pool building would be highly unlikely under an efficient city manager form of government. Lyman Gifford beat the drum loud and long--when he was mayor--in support of a general overhaul of Oshawa's municipal system (and he could not conceal his admiration for the CM or some parallel plan), but his appeal fell pretty generally on deaf ears. In his inaugural address on January 5, 1959, he stressed the need for a CM. He also, pointed out that the majority on Council was opposed (the same group likely that would oppose it today). He did succeed in getting a committee organized in 1960 to study such proposed changes; by the time it completed its report several months had elapsed. The committee wanted the city to spend $6000 for a study of the civic administration set-up--two firms were ready to come here for a two-month survey--but Council said it couldn't find the money, although it found money for far less important things (such as civic banquets, etc.) The committee report also noticed that "some Jack of co-ordination of follow-up exists", It also urged appointment of a city purchasing agent for all civic groups (Council, Board of Education, PUC, Parks Board). The aldermen who dashed cold water on the plan for a $6000 municipal set-up probe are mostly the same city fathers who sit around in mute silence today when the Rotary pool fiasco crops up. They regard the CM system with grave suspicion, as being too revolutionary; they wrongfully think that it would usurp departmental heads of their power. They just can't see how it would effectively co-ordinate the efforts of all these units, thus saving valuable time and tax dollars, Perhaps time will enlighten them, even if a few swimming pools don't hold water, 'Peanut Butter Nearly Kills SUDBURY (CP)--Terr§ Bel- Food particles lodged in the {boy's windpipe and his heart stopped.

"I still hold perhaps an old- {fashioned view that one should {not put out statements of pri- {vate discussions," Macmillan said in answer to a question from Labor party economics spokesman Harold Wilson. Macmillan made the state- ment to Parliament as Common- wealth Secretary Duncan San- dys--returning from a trip to New Zealand, Australia and Canada--told * reporters Britain would call a Commonwealth conference on the Common Mar- ket if Commonwealth leaders wanted it. Sandys said he returned with reactions of 'grave concern" from Canada, hesitancy from New Zealand and opposition from Australia. MAY DISCUSS The British minister's state- ment sparked reports in politi- cal circles that Britain's entry might be discussed by the Com- monwealth finance ministers in September here. In Bonn, West Germany Tues- day, the heads of the six Com- mon Market governments in- structed a diplomatic commis- sion to push political unification of their countries. They instructed the commis- sion "to give a statutory char- acter within the shortest time to the unification of their peo- ples." Countries involved are: West Germany, France, Italy, Bel- gium, The Netherlands and Lux- embourg. Court Rules On Drunk Test EDMONTON (CP) = Sobriety tests given by police to persons suspected of impaired driving need not be established as being voluntary before being accepted as evidence in court, the appel- late division of the Alberta Su- preme Court has ruled. The decision, by a 4-to-1 ruling Monday, reversed a Supreme Court of Alberta decision. Supreme Court Justice J. H. Milvain Feb. 14 granted the ap- peal of Marcel Martin of near- by Jasper Place, convicted of impaired driving in May, 1960, by Magistrate S. V. Legg. Mag- Istrate Legg had ruled sobriety tests given Martin by police did not violate the Canadian Bill of Rights. Mr. Justice Milvain, in revers- ing the conviction, ruled the so- briety tests are not admissible as evidence unless "they are es- tablished as being/voluntary" in the manner in which an oral or written statement must be es- tablished as voluntary. Monday's appellate division ruling, handed down by Mr. Justice Hugh John Macdonald, supported Magistrate Legg in his conviction of Martin. Abe Miller, counsel for Mar- tin, said '"'we certainly will con- sider" taking the case to the Su- preme Court of Canada. HIGH EDUCATION MONTREAL (CP) -- Denise Valiquitte, 23, of Montreal, has become the first Canadian girl to graduate from the University of Montreal's Ecole Polytech- nique. She obtained a degree as an engineer in physics. Last year a Hungarian immigrant, Gabrielle Bodys, was the first girl ever to graduate.

Which Drugs WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two medical educationists Tuesday advocated U.S. government po- licing of whether new drugs work, a proposal the American Medical Association virogourly opposes. The two witnesses, Dr. Louis S. Goodman and Dr. Charles D. May, are members of AMA's council on drugs. Dr. Goodman testified there is resentment ir the council because AMA did not ask the group's advice be- fore taking the stand against the controversial proposal. "This is puzzling," he said, "because the council on drugs is the AMA's advisory body that Government Asked To Say Really Work is meant to know most about the actions and uses of drugs." The two witnesses testified at hearings by the Senate anti- trust and monopoly subcommit- tee on legislation proposing stern new federal regulation of 31 Fires Bun But No Alarm PORT ARTHUR (CP) -- Dis- trict forester Bill Cleavely said Tuesday night none of the 31 fires burning in the Sioux Look- out district is causing immedi- ate concern. f He said in a telephone inter-| view 18 fires were not under control, but added they '"'were the drug industry. The bill among other things would licence manufacturers of prescription medicines and for- bid the sale of new prescription drugs without a prior finding by the Food and Drug Administra. tion that the preparations are efficacious as well as safe. In earlier testimony, the AMA opposed this FDA provision, saying the AMA could do the job of telling whether drugs work. OTTAWA (CP) -- Renewal of the federal government's muni- cipal winter works program for the fourth winter in a row was announced Tuesday by Labor Minister Starr, Projects covered by the pro- gram, to which the federal gov- ernment contributes 50 per cent of direct payroll costs, will be broadened next winter to cover nearly every kind of municipal capital project, Mr. Starr said. New types of projects, not previously covered would in- clude clearing and develop- ment of municipally - owned land, work on irrigation sys- tems and developments of en- gineering yards. Mr. Starr's announcement fol- Jowed the report earlier today that unemployment at mid-June totalled 370,000, down 87,000 from a month earlier but 55,- 000 higher than a year earlier. He said the program next winter will also be broadened by providing federal aid toward projects carried out in unorgan- ized settlements, so long as the work is sponsored by a com- munity organization and carried out under proper supervision by the community and province. The program will cover work done between next Oct. 15 and Starr Announces Winter Work Plan April 30, 1962 -- the same per- iod as last winter, ALSO CONTRIBUTE Seven provincial govern- ments, all but Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland, also contribute directly to costs of municipal winter works. Those three provinces have other types of assistance pro- grams. The federal assistance covers only those projects which would not ordinarily have been car- ried out in the winter, and which are designed to provide extra jobs in the winter period. The program last winter cov- ered most types of major mu- nicipal projects, including con- struction and improvement of roads, water and sewage works, parks and playgrounds and the construction, reconstruction or renovation of municipal build: ings. Mr. Starr's statement said more than 120,000 men were em- ployed last winter on 7,300 pro- jects in 2,100 municipalities, with an estimated equal number of men employed elsewhere in making and supplying materials and services. He said he ex- pects the program next winter will provide even more jobs.

(AP)--The congregation of a Chattanooga Baptist Church took a Bible passage literally and sent up in smoke those things which they felt were separating them from God, their pastor said Tuesday. Items burned on the grounds of the Haynes Me- morial Baptist Church in- cluded a television set, rou- lette wheel, cigarets, dice, playing cards, rock 'n' roll records and about-100 pairs of women's shorts. Asked about the burning of the women's shorts, Rev. Ed Taylor said '"'our ladies de- cided it would be better for them to wear dresses." Taylor said he advised the man who burned the TV set that it would be permissible for him to sell it and give the money to the church. But, he said, the advice was rejected with the comment "I think it will be better to burn it." The basis for the congrega- tion's action, the pastor said, came from Acts 19: 18-20: "And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books to- gether, and burned them be- fore all men . . . so mightily grew the word of God and Burn 'Devil's Tools' from suburban Grosse Pointe, Mich., is retiring this month for the second time. But he's far from happy about it. Mr. Rall has been in South Korea for the last 13 years helping to rebuild an electric power system. His wife, Helen, says she had a tough time convincing the U.S. government to send Mr. Rall home. Mi. Rall doesn't think he's too old to continue working. "This business about me be- ing too old bothers me. I'd go back tomorrow if they would let me. There is so much work to be done there and I can't be in on it." Mr. Ralls first retirement came in 1947 when he ended 32 years with the Detroit Edi- son Company as an assistant plant engineer. "I felt it was a real shame to have to quit so I kept yell- ing about it, said Mr. Rall. "One day I got a call about a job and I said that I would take it. Then I realized that I hadnt' even asked where it would be." The job was in Korea where he went in 1948 as part of a seven-man technical group to survey means of rehabilitating South Korea which had been cut off from its Communist- prevailed."

RYAN Associated Press News Analyst "Bratsk aya nyerushimaya druzhba" -- brotherly inviolable unity--governs Soviet-Red Chi- nese relations, the Soviet press says. Invariably, the more signs there are of irritations, the more the chorus increases in volume. Recently in Moscow, Pravda and Izvestia published--six days after Peking had broadcast it-- a curiously edited account of a Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion television interview with Old Man, Girl Shot To Death ST. OMER, Que. (CP)--Fran- cine Robichaud, 7, and her 61- year - old grandfather, Adrien Berube, were found by a neigh- bor shot to death Tuesday in Berube's home here 80 miles northeast of Quebec City. Provincial police labelled the double slaying as murder and suicide. Police said they found a re- volver and a note saying Ber- ube was 'tired of seeing the children and myself suffer be- cause of a dispute which separ- ates my daughter and son-in- law." Francine was one of two chil- dren of Mr. and Mrs. Amedee Robichaud. Police said they were being cared for by neigh- bors while Robichaud worked in the woods and his wife was in oy Foreign Minister Chen i. The Moscow version quoted Chen as saying "the great soli- darity between China and the Soviet Union is an important guarantee of peace in the whole world and the progress of hu- manity." Chen Yi had put it dif- ferently. Said he: "The relationship between China and the Soviet Union and among all the ialist nations They are grumbling. They seem From an examination of So- viet and Chinese documents and statements, the main points at issue seem to be these: 1. The course of the world revolution: The Chinese protest Soviet reluctance to use naked military power to impose communism af bayonet point when opportun- ities arise, regardless of risk. The Russians claim there are many ways for Communists to get power by "peaceful and parliamentary means," and force should be only a last re- sort. 2. Peaceful coexistence: The Chinese argue that, ac- cording to Lenin, ultimate war between capitalism and com- munism is inevitable and the risk now is less than it may be years hence with the rapid pace of weapons development. to have much to grumble about. | Russians Insist China Still Closest Friend U.S.S.R. in October will unveil a 20-year plan which will prove a "fatal blow" to the United States. Eventually the Soviet economy will be the weapon for imposing munism in the world through economic and other short of total war. Peking said: Any disarm- ament would be unrealistic, The West never will denounce war policy. But the Russians said a de- gree of disarmament is needed to hasten Soviet economic de- velopment so it can become a weapon in overwhelming the West. 4. Economic aid: Peking says: The Russians are wrong in aiding non-Com- munist governments like Egypt and India and in being niggardly | with the Red Chinese. Aid should Moscow retorted: The/go only to help the revolution. is a fraternal international rela- tionship of an entirely new type. It is built on the common base of marxism - leninism, on the base of the principle of pro- letarian internationalism. Such a unity is unbreakable." CHINESE GRUMBLE The difference seems import- ant. The words 'proletarian internationalism" occur fre. quently these days in Soviet Chinese relations. Briefly, the term means Moscow must be the boss of the world Communist movement, That doesn't mean Trois-Rivieres, Que. the Chinese have to like it. WINNIPEG (CP) -- The re- strictive trade practices com- mission wound up a two - day drug inquiry here Tuesday after a druggist rejected a suggestion that pharmacies had once threatened to boycott a baby food. The exchange came between commission lawyer F. N. Mac- Leod and representatives of the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation. The end of the hearing here left the three - man commission which is investigating the man- ufacture, digtribution and sale of drugs, with solid recommen- dations from only one source ere. These came from the Mani- toba government in a brief which blamed Canadian patent laws for high drug prices. The brief recommended a patent law revision and an in- vestigation of the pharmaceuti- cal industry. The permanent commission, headed by C. Rhodes Smith, former Manitoba attorney - gen- eral, resumes its hearing in Re- gina Thursday. At one point Mr. MacLeod asked if it was true Manitoba druggists had once threatened a manufacturer with a boycott of a baby food -- Pablum -- to back up their demands that it be handled by drugstores only. DENIES THREAT MADE M. A. Anderson, registrar of e MPA, said representations had been made to manufactur- ers on this subject, but no such threat had ever been made. Pablum now is sold through a wide variety of outlets, includ- ing drug stores. J. W. Richardson, vice - pres- ident of the Pharmaceutical As- sociation, told the commission Killaloe .iceeeseess 58 Muskoka .eceessess 58 White River «esses. 55 Moosonee ....o.... 50 Druggists Deny Plan To Boycott Baby-Food drug prescriptions generally ac- counted for only one quarter of the sales in his suburban Win- nipeg store. He said newly - hired grad- uate pharmacists are paid any- where from $115 to $125 a week. Mr. MacLeod asked if this was not "serious economic waste' to have a highly paid pharmacist sell bubble - gum and cigarets in addition to drug preparation duties. Mr. Richardson said the law makes it necessary for a phar- macist to be in the drugstore at all times and besides, the con- sumer likes it that way. OBJECTS TO IDEA Later, Mr, Richardson said he objected to a suggestion by Mr. MacLeod that retail druggists are simply merchants. Mr, Ri- chardson said he did not con- sider the work of pharmacists simple. They must check on dosage in the prescriptions they made up and be sure that no error is made by the prescrib- ing doctor. But Mr. Richardson admitted that the bulk of the pharma- cist's business comprises the FIRST TEST FAILS William E.
