ad Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, September, 22, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN OSHAWA MUNICIPAL ELECTION NOTES: Robert E, "Bob" Wilson of 81 Cadillac street announced. today that he will be a candidate for City Council December 3. dren's Arena Commission for five years and is still a director of that body -- he is also a member of the building committee of the Oshawa Arena executive (which name _ will be changed.) Mr. Wilson is one of the executives responsible for the sound business operation of the Children's Arena to 'date -- he has a reputation for being outspoken, frank and did as much as any citi- 'zen to advance plans for the proposed new arena centre 'to their present state. He also served for several years on the executive of the Cen- tral Council Neighborhood Association. He is hard-working, community-conscious and is un- afraid to stand up and speak his mind when important issues arise, as the record- shows. , He has lived in Oshawa for 32 years. ROBT. WILSON LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE President Malcolm Smith of Local 222, UAW-CLC, left today for Port Elgin, Ont. (with 16 other 222 members) to attend the meeting of the District Council of the Canadian UAW on the weekend. .. . Mrs. Walter Branch who recently gave her views on a 10-day tour of Russia this summer to the Oshawa Rotary Club, has suddenly found herself in de- mand as a public speaker. She has already accepted seven speaking engagements on this subject, one of which will be at the Seventh Day Adventist Church on King street east -- she had a memorable visit in Moscow at the Seventh Day Adventist Church there, . . . Joseph Victor (who returned to school after an absence of 22 years) is in his final year at Osgoode Hall Law School. He will be called to the Bar early in 1963. LET'S NOT STALL ON WOODS, GORDON REPORT Perhaps it would be unfair to call it a secret meeting, but City Council met behind closed doors late Monday night for a special purpose -- to discuss the recently - completed municipal survey report prepared by Woods, Gordon, Toronto municipal consultants, at a cost to the taxpayers of $10,700. Mayor Christine Thomas made the request that the Press should depart together with any department heads present, including City Clerk Roy Barrand -- this was a rea- sonable request in view of the fact that the report requires considerable study by Council before a decision is made on it. It is to be hoped that this important report will not be junked until after the municipal election because some coun- cillors are afraid of a change in the municipal set-up. The City Council in Sudbury, Ont., has already published '}-ite-municipal survey report from Woods, Gordon which was completed last June, about the same time as Oshawa's. PRESS WILL GET BOARD MINUTES The Board of Education is on the verge of taking a big step forward, one that would allow for a far more enlightened electorate. The Board, henceforth, will release copies of the minutes of its meetings to the Press, if a recommendation this week of the public relations committee is endorsed Monday at the regular meeting. : All trustees will undoubted- ly give the proposal their public endorsement and why not? Isn't there a munici- pal election just around the corner? What trustee would have the effrontery to stand before the taxpayers and tell them boldfacedly, es- pecially at election time, they did not think they should see the official Board minutes? The committee-did not take this progressive step for- ward at the request of Trus- tee George K. Drynan, QC, who has tried pretty hard to create the general impres- sion that he is for a free flow of Board information-- it followed a motion by 'Pfustee John M. Greer, one ~--~¢f the Board's more liberal- minded (small 1) trustees JOHN GREER who cut through a lot of Board red tape in about 30 seconds with a words. Mr. Greer had the sagacity to suggest that the minutes should be sent to the Press without further procrastination, double-talk or propagandizing, which idea caught on quickly. Mr. Drynan tried to enlist support for his current feud with a local. columnist but appeared to get little sympathy-- Trustee A. E. O'Neill even reminded him that every trustee should stand on his own in defending himself against critici- ism. ("Nobody should speak for the whole," he said). Passage of the proposal would be revolutionary for a Board that has been hard, unyielding too long in its bar-the- Press policy that dates back for several years when some of the t incumbents were trustees. proposal this week was not without its moments of high comedy -- one senior trustee stated that he did not know that the Press was not getting the minutes; yet the Press has not had such minutes for several months; further- more, little or no effort was made to supply the Press with pertinent information at Board meetings. Does this latest action mean that the Board is ready to adopt a softer attitude towards the Press, to go so far as to open its special committee room doors, as does City Council about 90 percent of the time? Mr. Greer said after the meeting that he would be in favor of such action, if the Press attended to observe and not report, as is done at Council; but such a proposal would be almost certain to meet strong opposition from some, if not all, of the old guard who still like to harp back to the old days when the Press allegedly did not report things as certain trustees thought they should be reported. The official minutes are fine and well but they don't provide the full story, which can only be obtained behind the doors of the special committees (the Press is admitted to the regular Board meetings, pretty well cut-and-dried af- fairs, and to the regular meeting of committees, but not to special committee meetings). A Board spokesman has notified the Press that the minutes will be available. few well-chosen | | By ROBERT RICE OTTAWA (CP) -- The former general manager of Canada Steamship Lines once delivered to seafarers union chief Hal C, Banks enough company docu- ments "to hang CSL," the Nor- ris shipping inquiry was told Friday. Richard Greaves, president of the National Association of Ma- rine Engineers, said he was told this by Mr. Banks during a 1956-58 period when his marine engineers union and the SIU were allies. Mr. Greaves, giving evidence to the one-man investigation of waterfront labor violence and shipping disruptions on the Great Lakes, said the docu- ments were delivered to Mr. Banks' home by Norman Reoch the night Mr. Reoch left CSL. He said Mr. Banks claimed files to "hang CSL." the briefcases of documents were "pretty hot stuff"--enough TELEPHONED HALL Mr. Greaves said Mr. Banks the Railways Clerks Union, to tell him about the CSL: papers. but Mr. Hall refused to get in- volved. The witness did not say what happened to the papers. The waterfront union leader also said Mr. Banks told him that CSL President T. R. Me- Lagan once offered him the post! of personnel manager for the steamship line at an annual sal- ary of $25,000 to $35,000. Mr. Greaves testified that Mr. Banks, an American-born union leader who came to Canada in 1959 to break the Communist- dominated C-adian Seamen's Union, maintained friendly rela- tions with CSL officers and with Mr. Reoch, who established his own shipping company. Resource Council 'To Cost $100,000 By DAVE SCOTT TORONTO (CP) -- The Re- sources Ministers' Council will continue on a permanent basis, Hon. J. W. Spooner, Ontario's minister of lands and forests and 1962 chairman of the coun- cil, announced Friday. The announcement came at a press conference marking the close of a two-day convention attended by representatives from all the provinces and the federal government. The council will work to pro- mote co-ordination between provinces and regions on prob- lems of renewable resources. It hopes to further the use of wa- ter, soil, air, woods and wildlife so maximum benefits ave shared equally by all interests. "Through the participation of the 11 senior governments and the rotating chairmanship, Can- ada will have for the first time an inter - governmental forum within which resource policies can be examined with a view to more effective co-ordination," Mr. Spooner said. A permanent secretariat will be established to serve the council and will be under its. di- rect supervision. Costs of the bureau--likely to be located at Montreal--will be shared by all the governments involved, he said. Estimate of the initial cost is , Rent Relief Sought By | All provincial | governments have been advised of the pro- }posed council operations, and |their final approval and agree- |ment to participate is expected before Oct. 31. Prime Minister Diefenbaker stated last year the federal gov- ernment is ready to provide fi- nancial backing for a national resources council which would promote the conservation and development of Canada's renew- able resources. telephoned Frank Hall, head of|SIU 'Banks Said Partner In Ship Line Firm The commission has already heard testimony from Michael Sheehan, former waterfront lieutenant of Mr, Banks, that the granted "sweetheart deals" to CSL and Reoch Steamships while harassing other shipping firms. Mr. Greaves said it was a "very common rumor" in Mont- real that Mr, Banks was a silent partner in the Reoch line, hold- ing shares in the company. But Mr. Justice Norris barred testi- mony based on rumors. Maurice Wright, lawyer for! the Canadian Labor Congress, then asked Mr, Greaves if he had ever questioned Mr. Banks about the reports he was a silent partner of the Reoch line. GOT NO ANSWER Mr. Greaves said he put the question once to Mr. Banks but never got an answer, Later in cross-examining the marine engineers union leader, SIU lawyer Bruce Thomas sug- gested that friendly relations maintained by the SIU with CSL and Reoch Steamships could be explained by the close proximity of the company and union of- fices--all within a block of one another in Montreal. Under cross-examination by Charles Dubin, senior commis- sion counsel, Mr. Greaves ad- mitted that he did little to pro- test against violent or unethical tactics while he was friendly wih the SIU. "You were prepared to use those tactics yourself on behalf of your. own union?" asked Mr. Dubin. : | "Maybe because I was be- ing expedient," replied Mr. Greaves.

(CP Wirephoto) 5-Point Plan For Parliament VANCOUVER (CP) -- New) Democratic Party Leader T. C. Douglas unveiled Friday a five- point program his party will press for in the forthcoming session of Parliament. Mr. Douglas, speaking at the Canadian Western Region Con- ference of the International Woodworkers of America, said the five points are: 1. An expanded housing pro- gram for low income groups. 2. Low-interest loans to prov- inces and murfcipalities for im- provements of services. 3. Start on long-delayed fed- eral works, including re-exam- ination of the McNaughton plan for Columbia River develop- ment. 4, Establishment of a national investment board to provide in- centives and encouragement for Canadian investment in Cana- dian growth. 5.

Mr. Douglas said the program would help create employment and a use of Canadian re- NDP Draws Up Socreds S$ Provincial Action By GUY RONDEAU QUEBEC (CP)--The role of the Social Credit party in No- vember's provincial general elections _ remains question mark to observers in the pro- vincial capital. The question, at first glance, might seem to have been set- tled already. At a recent caucus in Trois- Rivieres, Que., federal party members decided to stay out of Quebec politics "for the time being." In addition, the Quebec Social Credit leader, Real Caouette, has declared in no uncertain terms that the party will not participate officially in Quebec ti elections. It would appear, however, that all party members do not share this view. EXPERT PRESSURE Dissident elements, led. by Fernand Ouellette, are exerting pressure on party members to take part in the election. Mr. Qouellette was chief organizer of Social Credit's triumph in the) .

Joshua Nkomo, leader of the banned Zimbabwe African Peo- ple's Union, commented that the outlawing of the party was a "good thing" and marked "the beginning of the end" for Sir Eric Whitehead's all-white gov- ernment. Already delegates at the United Nations are talking of an early renewal of debate on the future of the self-governing Brit- ish colony. The danger is that the difficult situation will be used by oppor- tunists who care little for the welfare of either the black or white community. CHARGED 'RACISM' In the General Assembly de- bate in June, the Communist delegates charged Britain with trying to set up a "racist state" and demanded independence by he end of this year. The Afro-Asian nations, more moderately, pressed through a resolution calling for a new con- stitution ensuring the rights of the 3,000,000 Negroes. Britain, caught in the middle between the conflicting demands of the Negroes and the white South Rhodesia Terrorism Up had no right to interfere in the territory's internal affairs. The present constitution, ap- proved by the British Parlia- ment in December, 1961, sets up an enrolment system cal- culated to produce a 40-15 white majority in the legislative as- sembly to be elected next spring. It provides that as more Negroes join the voting rolls, a black majority will result ih eight » 12 years. The' nationalists say -- prob- ably with some justification-- that the white community would never let this come about. But Nkomo's demands for im- mediate Negro control appear to cast doubt on his good faith. At the United Nations in June, he told an interviewer it was un- thinkable that the whites should plit On the House of Commons in Que- bec Montmorency and already appointed party whip, admitted Friday he has been under some' pressure to accept the leader- ship of a_ provincial Social Credit party. He declined to say whether he would accept the of- fer. The insistence of members and organizers in Quebec ap- parently was behind the party's decision to hold a second caucus in Ottawa Tuesday. Mr, Caouette, reached by telephone at his home in Rouyn, Que., confirmed that he will "fight to the last" to keep his party out of the provincial elec- on. Meanwhile, it was rumored in legislature circles that Mayor! J.

The first raid was on kennels in Ogden Township where, an SPCA spokesman said, a litter of pups was found hidden in the bottom of a well. Five dogs, five sups and seven cats were seized. The second raid was on prem- ises in Murphy Township, where 33 dogs, 17 pups and two kittens were seized. The SPCA spokes- man said 2% pounds of dog meal was the only food found on the premises. The spokesman said '"'some.of them were in very bad shape." The animals were being e x- amined and ti was feared some might have to be destroyed.

By ARCH MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) -- Speculation is growing here that the im- passe on the 'multi-million-dol- lar development of the Colum- bia River may exist right in- side the federal cabinet. Right or wrong, this surmise draws strength from the fact that everybody involved seems to keep looking to Ottawa for action. The throne speech, the outline of the government's legislative intentions may contain some- thing definite when it's read at the opening of the first session of the new Parliament next Thursday.
