~The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont.' Page 6 Saturday, August 5, 1961 British Case Communists' It is no secret that Communist agents of Moscow seek to achieve their sinister ends by gaining posi- tions of influence in trade unions and other organizations which af- ford them a respectable front for their activities. Delegates to the New Party convention this week demon- strated their concern with Commu- nist efforts to infiltrate their organ- ization. Evidence of the methods used by Communists to filtrate trade unions comes from Britain, where a high court judge has ordered the dismissal from office of the general secre- tary of the 240,000 member elec- trical trades union. According to the judge in the case, the Communist union boss conspired with four other union officials "by fraudulent and unlawful devices" to prevent the election of James Byrne, a non- Communist, to the post of secretary general of the union. Reveals Methods The Communist union boss ordered out of office by Judge Sir Charles Winn was found to have engaged in "ballot-rigging" and other schemes to prevent the election of his non- Communist opponent. His removal from office is not only a revealing commentary on the unscrupulous conduct of Communist agents seek- ing to gain control over unions and thus stir up industrial strife .It is also a sharp remnder of how much importance Communists attach to union posts in key industries, such as the electrical industry. According to the judgment in the case, under the Communist general secretary Frank Haxell the union was controlled by the Communist party and also was "so managed as to serve the ideals of the party." Similar infiltration of unions by communists has not been unknown here in Canada. The Canadian Labor Congress has kicked out a couple of infiltrated unions. Only A Token Rivalry The threat that television news- casting would supplant the news- paper has in the past year dimin- _ ished so markedly that only a token * rivalry now exists between the two media, Hugh Foster writes in a Holiday article. The linotype is still mightier than the microphone; newsprint a clearer mirror of the times and a more dur- able archive than the snap-on crys- tal ball. Compare the newspaperman and his opposite TV number, the elocu- tionist in the tube; the typewriter- pounding yeoman and the well- barbered page boy with his electric lavaliere. The difference is as between a Walter Cronkite and a Walter Lipp- mann. And James Reston in print is incomparably more sagacious than Huntley & Brinkley--with, or with- out the assistance of Sander Vanocur --sounding off on The Issues in front of a photomontage of the Pentagon. Television bred its own consummate newscaster, quite as it begot the Un- comic Comedian, its painfully jolly . Muffin Men, its Arthur Godfreys and Jack Paars and a generation of viva- cious meatheads. The cosmic town crier was created by TV, of TV and for TV, with the idea that the Word becomes--if not Flesh--at least Image. Certified by his network for the full range of news competence, at the drop of a hat he assumes command in any area, though the hat may be the limp felt of the reporter, the commentator's velour, or the Hom- burg of the news analyst--sometimes even the jaunty cap of the "anchor- man." Here or abroad, in trench-coated eminence, the telejournalist always bulks larger on the screen than the event he is reporting. We beg in vain for him to please get his belted stern the hell out of history's way, so that we may see it made, not hear him "analyze" it.

Unlike performing artists, who are made, broken and cast aside like marionettes on television's whim, these soiree idols of the News-and- Public-Affairs division never fare worse than a swap of sponsor or network, without missing a cheque. These are none of your pressroom roustabouts, but men who have "moved up to Schlitz." The top dozen are hideously overpaid, even at the current rate for omniscience. Mostly in their thirties and forties, they show no signs of aging under the weight of all they know, and, for a profersional group, are uni- formly handsome dogs, as well as telegenicc. When, as often, their telepresence is of a cold sterness that might be construed as intellec- tual arrogance, it is more likely the mask of the Oracles. As oracles they come to the mouth of the cave, presuming to speak as if most of us never quite understand what we see or read, and as gasping for en- lightenment--commentary-in-depth. As a matter of fact, who's standing from left to right, and location of the scene are normally all that's needed to apprehend what is going on. Other Editor's Views <ONFIDENCE IN ECONOMY (Halifax Chronicle-Herald) There is no short-cut to a fuller measure of ownership in our own eco- nomy. Discouraging or blocking foreign investment will not achieve it. It will come about only when Canadians fully realize their responsibility and assume part of the burden which has been car- ried for so many years by capital from foreign nations. Our confidence must match theirs. Bible Thought The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men. -- I. Thessalonians 3:12. Some people are hard love, but you can love them all if you let the Lord have His way with you. Let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch and be sober. -- I. Thessa- lonians 5:6. The devil has his way when the glory of doing things for God is forgotten in drunken sleep. Be alert! Be at peace among yourselves. -- I. Thessalonians 5:13. Christ calls for loyal soldiers, but it is a poor soldier who opens fire on his comrades. U.K. OPINION Same Dose Of Austerity Gets General Criticism By M. Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To the Oshawa Times London -- Chancellor Selwyn Lloyd's new dose of austerity medicine has been adminis- tered, It is not at all palatable. It hits at many segments of the life of the British people. But judging from the initial press comments, and from what one hears from the Fleet Street economists, the medicine is not what was expected, and is not likely to produce a long-term cure for Britain's economic ills. One criticism, although not perhaps a very valid one, is that there is nothing new in what the government is doing. The various expedients -- high- er bank rate, increased pur- chase tax, restrictions on bank loans, and curtailment of pub- lic spending, the lot have all been tried before by both the Labor and Conservative govern- iucats. They have provided tem- porary ic improv t but not a lasting cure. CLASH WITH LABOR Where Mr. Lloyd is almost certain to run into trouble is in his freezing of wages of pub- lic servants and people in na- tionalized industries, and his plea for wage restraint on the part of labor generally. With extra taxes adding one-and-a- half points to the cost of living index, there is practically an open invitation to the labor unions of demand substantial wage increases. They will not be swayed by Mr. Lloyd's ap- peal to them for co-operation in saving the national economy. Already the school teachers are taking strike action, and making new wage claims far beyond the maximum set by Mr. Lloyd. This is certain to be repeated over a wide area of major industries. The country may be in for a period of ser- inns strikes. One commentator quite blandly declared that a period of industrial strikes might do more to combat the threatened inflation than all the restrictive measures of the Chancellor. That sounds like a cold-blooded philosophy, but it does indicate the kind of think- ing that has risen from the new government measures. COMMUNISTS IN CLASH At long last, the Trades Union Congress has taken positive steps to do battle with the Com- munist Leadership of the Elec- trical Trades Union. Arising out of a sensational court action, wards that end. Made up of in which the general secretary of the union, Frank Haxell, was ordered dismissed from his post and five other members of the Union execufive adjudged guil- ty of conspiracy of fix the union elections and of ballot- rigging, the general council of the TUC has struck, and struck hard. The council has ordered the ETU president, Frank Foulkes, to resign and submit to a fresh election. It has ordered five members of the executive body debarred from holding any of- fice for five years. And it de- mands that the executive's decision to strip John Byrne, the new general secretary, of most of his powers, be re- scinded within the next 10 days. WILL BE RESISTED This is tough medicine for the Communist leaders of the Elec- trical Trades Union to take. It will be resisted to the last ditch. The alternative to ac- ceptance of the ultimatum is suspension of the ETU or its expulsion from the Trades Union Congress. The Commun- ists are quite likely to risk, or even invite this. These penalties could only be made official at the TUC annual congress in September.. And it might suit Communist strategy for the ETU leaders to appear at that Con- gress in the role of martyrs fighting for the autonomy of their union. As a matter of fact, the only hope of freeing the ETU from Communist domination lies in the hands of its members. Ex- ecutive elections are due this fall. In the past, the Commun- ists have gained control solely because only about 10 per cent of the members bothered to vote. The Communists voted solidly, while the anti-Commun- ists members took none or little interest. With all the furor cre- ated by the court action, and the ultimatum of the TUC, the membership might now be awakened to a sense of respon- sibility, and vote heavily. In that event, the Communists would be out, and that would solve the whole problem. WANT AIRPORT BOARD A new and important move towards freeing the London group of air ports from govern- ment control, and setting up a new independent authority to manage them, has been made. The Estimates Committee of the House of Commons has made a definite recommendation to- OTTAWA REPORT Indians Blamed For Segregation Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist to- day is Judy LaMarsh, Liberal MP for Niagara Falls, Ont. OTTAWA--The Bill of Rights notwithstanding, this country has a serious segregation prob- lem; the segregation of Indians. And it's of the Indians' own making. In social development, our In- dians have lagged 100 years be- hind the rest of the country. They are an economic anachron- ism and an increasingly alarm- ing social problem, for the red man is not vanishing. In most provinces there are more In dians today than there were be- fore the white man came, for the white man's tax dollars have ended famine for the Indians, have given the aborigines new nutritional standards, and have enormously reduced disease. But despite civilization's ben- efits of the present and prom- ises of the future, the Indians cling to the past. They resist change because they 'fear inte- gration with their white fellow Canadians. They seek to main- tain their racial identity, lan- guage, religion and customs but without a concentration of popu- lation that makes achievement of this goal feasible. Ironically, Indian society was socialistic. But today's descend- ants of that culture do not ap- preciate the meaning of equal. ity. They fight doggedly for special privileges because they have no confidence in their abil- ity to take their parts in 20th century civilization. They have not been educated for it; gov- ernment paternalism has de- stroyed their independence as a race and as individuals. PROBLEM ECONOMIC The basic problem is eco- nomic. The Indians are not equipped by education and tech- nical training to make their way in our increasingly industrial ized society -- and, generally speaking, they don't want to he. They cling to the old, the out: moded, the unsatisfactory--but the familiar. For example, the Indian re- serves. They are the last strong- holds of the communal Indian life and culture; to lose them, the Indians feel, would be to lose their racial identity. Most re- serves cannot support their pop- ulation, and can operate only with even greater infusions of public tax money for homes, schools, hospitals and other works. But the Indian insists on reserves as his right, uncon- vinced there is a society out- side them in which he can take a permanent place. They are the Indians' homes "so long as the vr rivers run, the grass grows and the sun shines." Pretty words-- but they cannot amend the laws of economics. The advent of the welfare state has only plunged the In- dians more deeply into the mo- rass of hopelessness, lack of ini- tiative and poverty. It has sapped their will, their self- reliance, without giving them the tools of the mind and the spirit that they need to take their places along side their white brothers in the factories and the offices of industry. In life each man must stand alone--white, black or Indian. And it is a role of our social organization, our government, to s0 equip each man that he can do this. With our Indian citizens we are failing miserably. Unless we give them a new deal, instill new thoughts in their minds, new hope in their breasts, new tools in their hands, they will continue living in segregated poverty of body and spirit. For them the bell 'tolls--and should you ask, it tolls for us too. BYGONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO In 1921, the Oshawa YMCA was in bad financial straits. W. H. Hall, YMCA president head- ed a delegation to Town Council explaining the organization had a deficit of $6,000. If it didn't receive the money it would have to close its doors. Preparations for the coming of the British Bowlers were be- ing made by the town. The Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club re- quested coumcil to declare the day of their arrival, Aug, 10, a holiday and to have a band and decorations. The request was granted. It was announced the 21st an- nual convention of the Provin- vincial Firemen's Association would be held in Oshawa the fol- lowing year. Out of 20 graduates from Upper School in Ontario County, five were from Oshawa. They were: M. S. Bravener, W. R. Clarke, C. F. Cornwall, C. Everitt, and M. Garbutt. The will of Charles R. Fare well, former Ontario County crown attorney, was probated. Value of the estate was $279, 277.98. The Juvenile True Blue Lodge held its annual picnic. The chil dren were joined by the Senior Lodge in the afternoon. members of all parties, this powerful committee suggests that the minister of transport and civil aviation should con- tinue to be responsible only for divisional air traffic control and the investigation of accidents. The new authority would be re- sponsible for all other techni- cal services. The argument is that this would lead to more efficient and ical t. And it is given greater force by the fact that the three airports con- cerned, Heathrow, Hatwick and Stanstead, made net losses to- talling about $7,500,000 in their last year of operations. Airline operators are well pleased with the committee's report. They have long urged the setting up of a new airport authority, on the ground that airport management is a com- mercial business, requiring an autonomous and specialized or- ganization. INSIDE YOU Sprained Ankle, Two-Man Cast By BURTON H. FERN, MD Doubting Thomas: Every time I tape my sprained ankle the toes turn blue. M.D.: Don't wind the ad- hesive completely around your foot or leg. D.T. You mean I shouldn't strap it at all? M.D.: Let me show you! First, I shave your hairy ankle and paint it with benzoin to protect the skin. Hold this. D.T.: Gauze bandage? You're going to use this? M.D.: Watch -- I run the ban- dage under the ball of your foot so that you can hold each end like horse reins. Now pull -- a little harder on the side that hurts. - D.T.: Why? LESSENS STRAIN M.D.: The gauze pull takes the strain off that sprain. Then I tape the ankle in place. D.T.: With all those short and long strips of adhesive that you're tearing? M.D.: Enough to cover the whole arch. Why, tically got a stirrup M.D.: Yes. See? I stick the middle of a long strip to the sole of your foot just in front of the heel and run the strip up both sides of the leg. Now I anchor the upper ends with a short strip across. D.T.: Will it stay? M.D.: Sure! Now the second strip overlaps the front of the shal Dillon! D.T.: Why don't my toes turn blue? M.D.: It should -- it's a cast made of adhesive plaster!
