2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, June 8, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'Dollar Fixing Effects Echoing In Campaign JUST TO PUT THE RECORD STRAIGHT Alderman Cecil Bint is a very unhappy -- and misunder- stood -- man these days. The reason is simple: When plans were being discussed in open Council Mon- day for the tour of Queen Mother Elizabeth's motor caval- cade along Highway 401 at Oshawa June 16, Mr. Bint stood up and voiced some objections He was in favor of the City going "'all out' to wel- come the Queen Mother, but one aspect of the plans dis- turbed him greatly -- hun- dreds of school children would be lined up along Highway 401 ('This would be a death trap," he plead- ed. "We would have to put up signs at both ends of the City showing a decrease in population. How could the police possibly keep so many children in check alongside a dangerous highway?" he asked. Mr. Bint (an articulate speaker and also a pro- Royalist from away back) was completely misunder- stood by some -- they had ALDERMAN BINT the erroneous impression that he was opposed to the Royal cavalcade. He was only opposed to the cavalcade's route. It would be unworthy of mention here were it not for the fact that Mr. Bint has received several crank telephone calls and letters (all unsigned) since the event, taking him to task most severely for alleged anti-Royalist sentiments and statements. The life of an alderman can be frustrating. PUC BUS PROFIT FOR APRIL IS $430.23 Herbert C.

GORDON COMMENTS The dollar devaluation had other repercussions Thursday. Liberal Campaign Chairman Walter Gordon said in Toronto devaluation "was the result of the loss of confidence in Can- ada's economic and fiscal poli- cies" and there was no guar antee the dollar wouldn't fall again. Alberta's Social Credit Pre- mier Manning, at a Winnipeg press conference, disagreed ment by British Columbia Pre- mier Bennett that the dollar should be devalued further to 90 cents. Mr. Manning said it had been devalued too much. Both premiers have been cam- paigning for the national Social Credit cause. And at Toronto, Guenther Gunnel, president of an associa- tion of 80 retail bakers in the city, said bread prices will go up regardless of the prime min- ister's warning. "T would like to Diefenbaker in my shop have Mr and Metropol-|show him my costs," Mr. Gun-| 'nel said. 'WILL BE DRASTIC' The prime minister, in his Magog speech, did not say what action is being considered against those who increase rices on grounds of the de valued dollar, but said it will be "as effective as it will be dras- tic." "T don't wany any group-- powerful as they may be--to think that they can use an ac- tion taken for the benefit of all Canada for their own advan- tage." If his warning didn't deter with Wednesday night's state-| # price boosts, action could be) ROYAL SMILE Queen Mother Elizabeth | gin a Canadian tour.

Indeed, one vocal political believes U.S. policy tends to work in reverse--that TORONTO (CP) -- If Vincent Feeley is going to sing loudly enough to suit Ontario's royal commission on crime, the pro- vincial. Court of Appeal will have to call the tune. The gambling chief's reluc- tance to deliver the desired notes--particularly about bank- notes as represented by his tax returns--caused the commission Thursday to send for a new con- ductor and the much-heralded FiFeeley audition is still pending developments. The high court is to rule on how much power the commiss- sion has to make the laconic gambler talk, particularly in ways that could incriminate 'ihim and alsu in giving details on his income tax reports. In applying to the court for a definition of his powers, Mr. Justice W. D. Roach, the com- missi simult ly shut off hearings untij the court has given a decision. The case will be argued Monday, with an early judgment expected. WON EARLIER Lawyer Walton C. Rose won the court move on behalf of Feeley--the second time he has carried an issue to that trib- junal from the commission-- jafter Mr. Justice Roach re- jected his application that the |commissioner himself should excuse Feeley from giving self- incriminating evidence. The 38-year-old Feeley, re- puted kingpin of a large seg- mert of organized Ontario gam- bling in partnership with Joseph McDermott, staged a new tactic shortly after his long - awaited appearance on the stand Wed- nesday following weeks of evi- dence in which the names of \the pair figured predominantly. Previous witnesses apparently on the perimeter of their oper- ation have invoked the federal and provincial Evidence Acts, purporting to shelter witnesses from use of their testimony | High Court Rule Sought On Feeley By JOHN LeBLANC | " Led 4 3 Mr. Justice Roach refused to* go along with this contention, » but granted Mr. Rose's alterna- tive application that the issue < be placed before the court un" der procedure laid down in leg- » islation covering royal commis: sions. " LEARNS LITTLE 4 Up to the time this battle of © legal technicalities began, the commission had learned little from Feeley, a thick - set, square . taced man who had batted around in a miscellany of small jobs before setting - down to big-time gambling. Polite but slow and taciturn~ in his low-voiced answers, he- led Mr. Justice Roach to prod ~ him into stepping up the pace before he had been on the stand -- 10 minutes. And right after that . he came to a dead stop. ' Commission counsel Roland - F. Wilson asked for his net" worth in 1954, when he and Mc- Dermott were supposed to have © been well into the big league of gambling. Donning spectacles, Feeley thumbed through a sheaf of documents from a briefcase and came up with the figure of « $3,120. " As eyebrows lifted, the com- missioner took the paper, scru- tinized it, announced it was ac- tually the amount Feeley re- ported to the tax collector as 1953 income and called for this and subsequent tax returns doc- uments to be entered as ex- hibits. BALKS AT DISCLOSURE It was there that Feeley balked and the legal fight be- gan over how far the commis- sion can go in compelling dis- closures. It is a fight that could - possibly wind up in the Supreme Court of Canada should the On- tario court's decision go against Feeley.

The operation, however, showed a $2,768.61 deficit for the four months prior to April 30 this year -- this is to be compared with a $2,536.63 deficit for a similar period last year. J. B. Annand, general manager, said that it was not unusual to have a small monthly profit on the bus operation as passenger traffic fluctuated strongly during certain periods. This was especially so of the Summer school vacation period when the students' traffic dropped considerably. 1.7 MILLIONS FAILED TO VOTE IN 58 Why doesn't the police commission order sun glasses for members of the local constabulary for Summer use, as has been done in so many North American cities of late? The task of the man on the beat would be made much easier with such an inexpensive innovation which would protect him from the glare of the sun... . The Oshawa C of C (in its May brochure) points out that at the last Federal slection in 1959 there were 9,131,200 eligible voters but only 7,357,139 turned out for an average of 79 percent. The C of C says that 21 percent, or over 1 7.millions persons did not exercise their democratic privilege to vote on the feliow citizens who would represent them. on the highest councils of our country. The Chamber asks if this is not a sad commentary that 1.7 millions of free Canadians are in- different about spending a few minutes, ordinarily, every four or five years, to help make the important choice of representatives to assure stability of our democratic system of parliamentary government. The C of C is to be com- mended for publicizing such data -- it could also go a step further (as could many other Oshawa organizations) and open its meeting doors wide on some occasion so that all candidates in the Federal election could be heard. Can a citizen cast an intelligent vote if he has not heard all candi- dates speak? FROM THE HUSTINGS OF ONTARIO RIDING: Mrs, John Diefenbaker, wife of the Prime Minister, will be the guest of honor at 2:30 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre Thursday, June 14 -- this will be the first time during the current campaign that she will be "on her own", without the company of her husband. Mrs. Diefenbaker will be in the receivng line. Dr. Claude Vipond, former Federal Liberal candidate in this riding, has written to Liberal candidate Norman Cafik from Penang, Malaya, as follows: 'I hope you win -- there isn't anyone in the whole world outside Ontario riding more interested than I. On election night I will be eagerly awaiting news of the outcome. It seems strange that of the three candidates I will be rooting for the one I haven't met. I frequently think of you these days covering that territory that became so familiar to me between 1956 and 1958 -- Zephyr, Udora, Uxbridge, Greenwood, Port Perry, Goodwood, Pickering Beach and Rouge Hills, Harmony, Raglan, Myrtle, etc." Chief of Police Herbert Flintoff has been clamping down on all political parties who place election campaign placards in illegal places, contrary to a city bylaw. He quickly orders them removed. Harry Bradley, the Campbellford school teacher who will represent the PC's in Northumebrland riding June 18, will be one of the speakers here June 14 at the Open Forum which is to be held by the St. Gregory's Young People's Club in St. Gregory's Auditorium. His Liberal opponent June 18 will be Dr. Pauline Jewett, who has already been campaign- ing for more than three months. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE AN MP? What does it feel like to be a member of Parliament? Dr. R. P. Vivian, Progressive-Conservative member of Par- Hament for Durham Riding, answered the question thus at a recent meeting: "There is much one could say about the task of being a member of Parliament. It is not altogether the glamorous role it might be considered. It is hard work, long hours and little home life for eight or nine months of the year, at the best. If one is asked to do something more as a Cana- dian for the country as a whole, more time is required. The whole, however, adds up to a great deal of satisfaction be- cause -- and only because, of the opportunity to do a real public service. "It is a task that requires more than energy. Energy is simply taken as an unspoken requirement. The hours of travel, committee work, sittings of the House, and County obligations, could be exhausting without the knowledge of what, now, and when, to do those things necessary: to the benefit of the riding, and the country as a whole."

'Foreign Aid Bill | Passed By Senate WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Senate passed a $4,700,000,- 000 foreign aid bill Thursday Communist satellite nations. It voted to exempt surplus farm shipments to Poland and Yu- goslavia. The reversal of Wednesday's outright ban on help to Com- munist-dominated nations was welcomed by President Ken- jnedy. But the Senate retained some jstrings. The president could, if |he finds it in the national inter- est and notifies Congress in ad- vance, make millions of dollars worth of food shipments to Yu- goslavia and Poland. The vote on final passage was 61 to 23. The aid bill, on which the House has yet to act, author- ized $600,000,000 for the fiscal year starting July 1 and $8,000,- night after backtracking on its decision to cut off all aid to from Ontario Provincial Police headquarters, McDermott and Feeley, along with former OPP Constable Robert J. Wright, were convictec last spring of conspiring to obtain police in- formation illegally. e They were sentenced to 18 months in prison but have ap- _ pealed and are out on bail, the gamblers at $50,000 apiece and Wright at $15,000. It also is the second time the pair have carried a case from the commission to the Appeal Court. Over the commissioner's original rejection, Mr. Rose in April obtained the right to full. counsel privileges before the commission on behalf of the convicted three and a fourth ~ client, Frank (Curly) Gardner,.., a Windsor gambler and early inquiry witness, k Besides the somewhat anti-~ climatic opener of Feeley, the ; commission this week went in; heavily for testimony by and } about an assortment of Toronto lawyers who at one time or an- other have been associated in various ways with matters touched by the gamblers.
