2 THE OSHAWA 7~'*4Es, Fridey, October 12, 1962 | GOOD EVENIN By JACKGEARIN -- MONSIGNOR DWYER ATTENDS ROME COUNCIL Rt.-Rev. Monsignor Paul Dwyer (pastor of St. Gregory's Church) left Sunday night for Rome to attend the sec- ond Vatican council of the Roman Catholic Church. He is scheduled to return here about October 31. He also visited Rome last year as an aide to His Eminence James Cardinal McGuigan of Toronto... . Dr. Kenneth McFarland, who is to be the main speaker at the Third Annual Civic Dinner of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board in St, Greg- ory's Auditorium on October 23, has a large following of ardent supporters in Osh- awa -- they are the people who heard him here in 1955 when he made a kick-off speech in the Hotel Gen- osha for the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest Drive of that year. He is billed by the Board as "'One of the na- tion's foremost public speakers." MONSIGNOR DWYER POPPY DAY IS WORTHWHILE PROJECT Did you know that Branch 43 of the Royal Canadian Le- gion makes no financial profit from the sale of Poppies. on Remembrance Day, which is upcoming November 11 ? All Poppy Day expenses come from the Branch's general fund; but all monies taken in are put in a special account and administered separately from other funds of the Branch. Such income is used solely to help needy veterans -- it is interesting to note, also, that 75 percent of veterans helped through Poppy funds are not members of the Legion, The above information was announced this week by Branch 43 as plans were advanced for the annual November 14 campaign. The poppy (as a symbol of remembrance) originated in the First World War -- today it is retained as a remembrance symbol of ail wars. Few real poppies are available, so cloth ones are used. Today many disabled veterans are employed by Vetecraft Industries (sponsored by the Dominion govern- ment) making poppies and wreaths -- such employment has assisted them in their rehabilitation program; otherwise many of them would be unable to find suitable employment. SPEAKING OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Do you like high school football? Oshawa's four col- legiate teams will present a special program at Kinsmen Stadium during October from here on in each Friday night (starting tonight) at 6:30 p.m. Three games are scheduled for this week's show -- OCVI vs Donevan (in senior and junior competition) and OCCI vs McLaughlin. KNIGHTS TO HONOR ARTHUR DORAN St. Gregory's Council 2671 will pay special tribute next Saturday night at the Columbus Day dinner to one of its members -- Arthur J. Doran of 606 Mary St., who is cele- brating his 53rd year as a member of the K. of C. Mr. Doran joined the Knights May 24, 1909, at Belleville, Ont., and moved to Oshawa in 1927 -- he was instrumental in founding. St. Peters-in-Chains Council at Trenton in 1918 and Oshawa St. Gregory's Council in 1928. He has held the posts of First Warden of Oshawa and Trenton Councils. He was active with the Knights in both world wars in the or- ganization of K. of C. service huts (which many veterans will recall). HOW LARGE IS HILLSDALE ? Can somebody please end the confusion as to the exact size of the new Hillsdale Public School, which has been a point of controversy these many months ? Educationists like Dr. C. M. Elliott, superintendent of Public Schools, insist that it is unfair to call it anything less than a 12-room school (which includes an auditorium). Yet A. J. Lainchbury, clerk-of-the-works, and Jackson, Ypes and Associates, the school's architect, constantly refer to the structure as "8-class room school -- Oshawa Boule- vard" (as was in the former's progress report for last August), : Trustee Margaret Shaw, who does not always agree with Dr, Elliott or the Board, calls the 12-room figure "an exag- geration" and says the school is closer to a 10-room structure. The Board has announced the cost of the school as approxi- mately $300,000, which figure does not include the cost of the land. SOME MUNICIPAL ELECTION NOTES Henry Glecoff (the grocery merchant who ran 14th in the 1960 Oshawa aldermanic race with 4,928 votes, as compared with 5,200 for John Dyer who copped the last seat) will decide by Monday whether to toss his hat into the ring again or not. Clifford Pilkey is also keeping his political plans a big dark secret, but he acts like a man who has his eyes set on City Council (where he has often expressed a desire to sit). He has built up quite a reputation as a spokesman for ratepayers' groups before Council and other civic tribunals. He turned up before the Oshawa Planning Board this week in Council Chambers to protest a rezoning application by River- _ side Plaza (to have the northwest corner of Riverside drive and King street east rezoned to R5 to allow "high rise" apartments. R5 allows buildings 55 feet high. Mr. Pilkey presented a 16l-name petition -- he stressed that homes values would drop and traffic hazards be created if the re- TORONTO (CP) -- Gambler Maxie (The Baker) Bluestein was pictured Thursday as a man who told police he had balked an attempt by the Mafia to invade Toronto crime--and in fact run one member of the po- tent clan out of town--but he fervently denied it all. "Not true... not true... not true,"' he barked in answer to a series of questions before the Ontario Royal. commission on crime about police reports that he had been approached in 1958 as a go-between for an Ameri- can Mafia takeover of crime here and had opposed it. But the commission heard po- lice evidence that in 1958 he claimed his life was in jeopardy from the Mafia and as late as last May he had asked police protection for himself and his family for the same reason. Police found no evidence of a Mafia invasion or threat to the self-styled. retired bookmaker, and he got neither the special protection nor the gun-carrying permit he was seeking. The wealthy 50-year-old Blue- stein--whose unexplained slug- ging in a nightclub here last year has left an aroma of un- derworld factional strife--com- jpleted 1% days of testimony Thursday amid a jumble of tan- gled personal finances, denial of assorted forms of wrongdoing, huge memory gaps, occasional snarling at questioners and complaints about his health. Among the long list of things he denied were trafficking in so- cial club charters, paying for police protection, winning $80,- 000 in a' fixed sport event from some of the men involved in the nightclub beating, running a floating crap game and order- Foggy memory also clouded his. recollection of two inter- views with the police seeking protection. He recalled that they had taken place but could only add: 'I was a little disturbed . - - E- don't remember." As to whether he wanted pro- tection against the Mafia: "Nobody --no nobody -- no one."' Insp. Herbert Thurston, head of the Toronto Metro police merelity squad, said that in 1958 Bluestein, saying he be- lieved his life was in jeopardy "from a group he called the Mafia," tried to get a permit to carry a gun. ; Bluestein, he said, had told him of meeting an American of the group here dnd "chasing him out of town." Under questioning, Bluestein described these Mafia refer- ences as "'untrue,"' but did not suggst who committed the un- truths. Wednesday, he said that if he complained to the police about the Mafia he was lying. Staff-Sgt. Alexander Hawrys of the RCMP told today of Bluestein asking last may for protection for his family be- cause he was "afraid of the Maia" and of 'organized crime." In a wide - winging through the half-world of gam- blers and hustlers, Blustein re-| vealed that some of his asso- ciates around 1956 hoped to use a club charter he had discarded --to set up a dog-racing ven- ture. Nothing came of the project,| which he had left with fellow) bookies Sam Binder and Joe (Schmaltzie) Zeldin.

Questioners made no progress in trying to pin down a motive for Bluestein's nightclub beating by several men in front of about 100 apparently-unseeing custom- ers. ; Other denials: 1. That he had told gambler Joseph McDermott that he had a friend on the Toronto morality squad--"I haven't a friend on the force." 2. That he had never put up money to bank a crap game at Niagara Falls, Ont. The commission bogged down when it got into Bluestein in mental arithmetic, complicated by memory failures, in trying to get at his earnings for re- cent years and his present fi- nancial setup. He could not remember what he made from gambling in 1960 --the year he says he closed yer for Binder- and Zeldin. He said it was turned down. The men were convicted and the Bluestein said he knew noth- ing of the charter surrender his bookie business--the number and amounts of mortgages he holds, just what legitimate jobs he had in the last couple of years and whether or not he had bank accounts under names other than his own, Accountant William L. Walton eventually testified he made out Bluestein's tax returns on $16,- 818 taxable income for 1960, but some of the figures were away off Bluestein's offhand calcila- tions. They disagreed, too, on the names of the companies from which Bluestein had re- ceived income. Bluestein bristled when coun- sel doggedly pursued the way through the earnings tangle. "You're asking me a million questions. I don't know. what you're trying to get at, Did I do something wrong. I go to jail and get hit on the head. Now you're bothering me about a sal- ary." The commission was to switch today to examination of govern- ment witnesses who testified earlier concerning issuance of social club charters. INTERPRETING THE NEWS Canada On OAS By JACK BEST Canadian Press Staff Writer The Cuban affair, combined with political unrest through much of South America, has thrown a formidable roadblock in Canada's path toward mem- bership in the Organization of American States.

Now, in rapid succession, have come a series of develop- ments tailor-made to bolster the arguments of the anti - OAS group: military takeovers in Peru and Argentina, unrest in Brazil and Ecuador, rebel ter- rorism in Colombia, sporadic revolt in Venezuela. And hovering over the entire scene is the venomous dispute between the United States, sup- ported by most of its Latin American allies, and Fidel Cas- tro's revolutionary regime in Havana, Canada has attempted to steer clear of this seemingly irrecon- cilable dispute--but hasn't man- aged to avoid being singed by it. For instance, there has been much criticism in the U.S. of Canadian policy of continuing to trade with Cuba, even in non- strategic goods. On the other hand Cuban au- thorities have sometimes com- plained that Canadian subsidi- aries of American industrial concerns refuse to sell spare parts to the Caribbean island. Opponents of Canadian mem- bership in OAS say. these are just examples of problems the country would face increasingly by joining gp. As an OAS member this-coun- try would have been in an in- meeting last winter in Punta Being on more or less friendly from OAS councils--a decision sie surely have offended the However, proponents of mem- bership advance a counter-ail- ing argument to all this. They say that Canada is being dragged into the Cuban dispute anyway, therefore it might as well be inside OAS and have a proper say in a matter affect- ing its interests, External Affairs. Minister Green has said Canada will join OAS --some time, The consensus in Ottawa now is that the "some time" may be a long time coming.

The agreement was reached March 15, 1961, at an Ottawa conference of labor, manage- ment and government leaders --then promptly suppressed on orders from a high leevi in the) cabinet. Most of Canada's top business and union leaders attended the Ottawa meeting at the personal invitation of Trade Minister Hees and Labor Minister Starr. They are reported to have agreed to establish a permannt il, to be fi d by all three groups, to foster continu- ing co - operation and consul- door attempt by big labor and big business to usurp the policy- making powers of the cabinet. Union sources believe the gov- ernment blocked the proposed labor - management - govern- ment body because it would have acted, in effect, as an over - all economic and social --a concept rejected by Prime Minister Diefenbaker during the election campaign. Anothr source cited the fact that the government had just launehed its National Produc- tivity Council and held great hopes that it would produce fruitful results in its specific field of industrial efficieicy. Since then, the Canadian La- bor Congress has pulled Mr. Jodoin, off the productivity council--and left. him without tation on ic probl among labor, management and government. They also agreed to again--but never did. They set up a high - powered steering committee to recom- meet rep ion from. the central union body of more than 1,000,- 000 organized workers. Since then, too, the govern- ment has announced its plan to establish a new national econ- omic development board. In the speech from the throne at the opening of parliament, the government promised such a board--to be "'broadly re sentative," presumably includ- ing spokesmen for the major industrial sectors &s well as la- bor, agriculture, education and consumers. The board, said the throne speech, "would review and re- port upon the state of the econ- omy and upon econoic policies." vou KNOW That Nu-Way have Oshewe's only fully equipped, medern rug, corpet end uphelstery cleaning plant?

The motion that a permanent council be established was made by R. M. Fowler of Mont- real, president of the Canadian A 12-man steering committee was created--headed by T. R.
