he Oshawa Thnes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1963 -- PAGE 6 -- Red Boss Cracks Down On Intellectual Rebels © In a Communist state, writers, 'grtists, musicians, intellectuals and whole creative establishment 'exist for the purpose of explaining, '@xtolling and illustrating the party 'Title -- the current interpretation 6f Marxism-Leninism applied to the 'problems of the moment. That is. ow they contribute to the state; éulture is an instrument of the State, one of the many used to en-' "correct thought" by citizens, = But creative people have curious, lively minds; curiosity leads to ques- tions, questions to doubts, and doubts, frequently, to rebellion. After Stalin died, Russian intel- lectuals had a faint whiff of the heady air of artistic freedom. They were brought back to their Com- munist senses when Premier Khrushchev cracked down on the poet and novelist Boris Pasternak. But it was not long before they were again trying new forms, ex- ploring new ideas, until 72-year- old Ilya Ehrenburg, generally con- sidered the dean of the questioning creators, earlier this year made a plea for peaceful co-existence be- tween the officially approved "Socialist realism" and art forms imported from the West. Last week Mr. Ehrenburg and the liberals got their answer -- and it was precisely what they could have expected, Premier Khrushchev branded them as anti-Communists who. threaten to undermine the Soviet system. He rejected the plea for co-existence, saying: "Peaceful co-existence in the field of ideology is a betrayal of Marxism-Leninism, treachery to the cause of the work- ers and peasants." From the Communist point of view, he was telling the strict truth. The Soviet system as it now exists would indeed be undermined were the creators allowed write and paint and compose, free of the shackles of party doctrine -- and that. is what would come about as the result of the peaceful co-existence pro- posed by Ehrenburg. Mr. Khrushchev has cast off some of the chains forged by Stalin, but he is not prepared to sacrifice the rigid state apparatus on the altar of free expression, Jingoism On Hustings Agriculture Minister Alvin Ham- ilfon is the darling of the western grain farmers 'and on the Prairies has a reputation as a superb politi- cal campaigner. But something seems to happen to Mr. Hamilton when he moves away from the wide open spaces of the West. He becomes accident prone. This was demonstrated just a few days ago in Montreal, where Mr. Hamilton, in the course of a fiery address, suggested that the United States doesn't "even know we're a sovereign country here. They think we're a Guatemala or something." That was a typical Hamilton boo- foo, and even the Conservative Ottawa Journal couldn't let it pass without comment, "This is too much tinkling of petty jingoism," grow- led the Journal. There was, of course, a polite but firm objection by the official repre- sentatives of Guatemala in Canada. Mr. Hamilton, they suggested, should know better than to refer to Guatemala as being something less than a sovereign state, Guatemala being just as independent as Can- ada, Apart from the gratuitous insult to the Latin American country, the Hamilton speech -was objectionable because of its venomous anti-Amer- icanism. The U.S. state department erred when it issued its now -- notorious explanation of the Cana- dian-American nuclear position; an apology was made -- although the Americans could not apologize for what was fact. And that is the only bit of evidence that Mr. Hamilton can produce to support his conten- tion that the U.S. "doesn't even know we're a sovereign country." Unfortunately, the same general line is being taken by Mr. Diefen- baker, although much more skil- fully. Mr. Diefenbaker has made several references to Canada's be- ing "a power, not a puppet." This sort of thing is unworthy. There are so many important things to talk about. Tragedy That's Ignored When an earthquake jolted the Libyan town of Barce recently, more than 800 men, women and children died in the rubble of homes and other buildings. News of the dis- aster made headlines around the world, and other nations quickly re- sponded to the tragic event by rush- ing all manner of aid to the strick- en area, There was nothing that could be done to prevent the Libyan tragedy because man has no control over earthquakes, the Port Arthur News- Chronicle points out--but last year in Canada a death toll equivalent to ten times that suffered in Libya was needlessly inflicted and very few people seem to think much about it.

The highway death toll has reach- ed such proportions that it is no longer possible simply to shrug it off as "one of those things." And gradually the authorities are start- ing to do something about it. But in the light of the grisly statistics, not enough is being done. Those who complain about driv- ing examiners being "tough" should give thought to the picture of 3,978 corpses strewn along the highways of Canada and be thankful they are being properly examined, And cer- tainly the time is coming when the courts will not be able to feel that justice has been done when erring drivers are fined a few dollars for traffic violations that have led, or could lead, to accidents, More use will have to be made of licence suspensions to get dangerous drivers off the road -- for long per- iods or for good. Motorists will have to be taught that the operation of a motor vehicle on the public high- ways is a privilege, not a right, and that when the privilege is repeatedly abused it can be lost forever.

REPORT FROM U.K. No Disagreement On Berlin Policy By M. McINTYRE HOOD ; Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A report from Washington that the way was being paved for new discus- sions between President Ken- nedy and Chairman Khrush- chev on the future of West Ber- lin has aroused some feelings of anxiety in official circles in London, There>is a feeling here that these discussions should not be confined to the heads of YOUR HEALTH state of the United States and the Soviet Union, but that the oher countries involved in the West.Berlin scene -- Britain, France and West Germany, should be equal partners in any talks on the future of that c.ty. Whether or not these three countries are involved in the discussions, it is certain that they will have to be consulted in the fullest possible sense be- fore any commitments or deci- sions are made. With respect to this question, Insomnia's Cause Must Be Attacked B yJOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD The problem of insomnia is very common, It is more pre- valent among the old; but there 8re comparatively young people who develop it, too, as the fol- lowing letter indicates. Dear Dr, Molner: Is there a cure for insomnia? I'm 26 years old. I've had it on and off for five years. Some nights fit takes me several hours to fall asleep. People tell me to try this and that, but nothing helps. My doc- tor will not give me sleeping pills.--MRS, J.J. And here is another letter on the subject concerning people who are nearly a half century older: Dear Doctor: My husband and I are past 70 and have trouble sleeping. What is your treatment? What drugs should we buy?--MRS, S.L. Both letter writers want some sort of means, preferably a pill, that will permit tham to sleep peacefully and quietly the whole night through. How widespread is the prob- lem of insomnia? There are no Statistics because there's no real way of defining the word. Does it mean never being able fo get to sleep promptly? Or seldomly? Or occasionally? Theré are all degrees of in- Somnia, Does it mean having to wait an hour to get to sleep? Or two, or three? How many? Does it mean waking up in the night? If so, how often? Does it ,mean awakening once or twice in eighi curs? Or isn't it insomnia unless you hear the clock strike the hour at least five or six times in the course of the night? Well, as far as I'm concerned, insomnia covers any of these conditions. If you have consis+ tent trouble getting to sleep, or if you regularly complain of waking up too often, and it in- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 13, 1963 .. . Adolf Hitler continued his * expansionist foreign policy with the annexation of Aus- tria 25 years ago today--in 1938, Only two days earlier troops had crossed the fron- tier to take the country without a fight, He acquired Austria by manipulating an abrupt crisis in Austro-Ger- man_ relations and then Sending his army in to for- cibly incorporate it in the Reich. Czechoslovakia and Poland were soon to follow in the train of aggression which started the Second War. terferes with getting enough rest during the hours you rea- sonably set aside for sleeping, I'm willing to call it insomnia --and to reveal what I know about overcoming it. For insomnia can be over- come. There are certain rules you will have to know, and under- stand and believe. Not many, but a few essential ones. First! Why is it that babies rarely have this trouble, but many people frequently do? The cure for insomnia doesn't con- sist of finding some magic sleep-producer. The real cure is to find out what keeps you awake, Simple, isn't it? And logical. And basic. Second: You must do some- thing about these causes. This may require some moderate change in your way of living. You can't stubbornly hang on to your sleep-destroying habits and still expect somebody or something else to provide an easy way to put you to sleep. Third: You must develop con- fidence in your ability to sleep. Nobody ever learned to ice Skate while telling himself in his secret heart that he always knew he would fall down. In fact, nobody ever accomplished enything truly worthwhile with- out an honest feeling that he would succeed if he tried. GALLUP POLL it is of special interest to note that there is complete unani- mity between the government and the official Labor opposi- tion with regard to the disposi- tion of the main factors over which there are likely to be dif- ferences of opinion between the Western Powers and the Soviet Union. The position of Weet Berlin was the only subject dealt with at a press confer- ence held. by Harold Wilson, Labor party leader, for Com- monwealth newspapers corre- spondents which was not off the record. On other subjects, what he said was non-attribut- able and non-quotable, but he was perfectly willing that he should be quoted on the Labor Party's views on that subject. And the views he expressed might well have come from any member of the govern- ment from the Prime Minister down. NOT NEGOTIABLE "With regard to West Berlin," said Mr. Wilson, "there are some things which are not negotiable and on which we stand firm. Frist there is the freedom of the people of West Berlin to decide on their own form of government, and to have the right to choose it at free elections. "The second point which is not negotiable is the right of free access to West Berlin, without interference, for the Western Power, and indeed, for all the free nations. Thirdly, we regard the continued presence of the armed forces of the West- ern Powers in Berlin as essen- lial, because we consider their presence there as having them as custodians for any agree- ment which might be reached." On questions regarding trade between East Germany and the ellied powers constituting recog- nition of East Germany, which these powers refuse to accord, Mr. Wilson said there was a dif- ference between factual recog: nition, under which trade was carried on, and_ diplomatic recognition, There was one angle of East German trade about which he was concerned. He cited cases in which Brit- ain, in accordance with the Policy of the Western Powers, had refused visas to East. Ger- man steel men who wished to come to Britain to place orders in this country. They were not allowed to come, but immediate- ly West German steel firms rushed into East Germany and got the business." This was one of the things which Mr. Wilson felt should be made the basis of a . clearer understanding and should be remedied. U.S. Prestige Greater Here In Past 2 Years (World Copyright Reserved) BY THE CANADIAN INSITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION During the past two years United States' prestige in Can- ada has increased nearly three- fold. Today 54 per cent of Cana- dians say 'the prestige of the U.S. has increased in this coun- try, In February, 1961, Gallup Poll interviewers asked a com. parable question and only 20 per cent said respect for the U.S. had increased. Eastern Canadians emphasize this prestige increase (60 per cent) more than those in any other part of the country, with only 13 per cent naming a de- crease, The question put to the peo- Ple today and in 1961 was: "In the last year would you say the prestige of (and re- spect for) the U.S. has in- creased in this country?" ip @ regional al * Increased parts of the country show an impressive increase in respect for U.S. prestige in Canada, 1961 Increased 20% Decreased 36 About same 28 Can't say 16 10% 100% 1961 East Ontario West Increased 22% 23% 15% Decreased 28 40 40 About same 28 23 35 Can't say 22 14 10 "100% 100% 100% 1963 East Ontario West 60% 57% 43% Decreased 13 24 29 Abont same 19 14 22 Can't say 8 5 6 "100% 100% 10055 OTTAWA REPORT Postal Procedure Said Questionable By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --The twin Lake- head cities of: Port Arthur and Fort William became one postal area on March 1. Now a Port Arthurian posting a letter to an. address in the adjoining city of Fort William need pay only four cents for the postage--and vice versa, This commonsense decision was happily marked by the president of the Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce, William Brayshaw, mailing to his oppo- site number a commemorative letter in a huge "envelope" measuring some three feet by six. I hope that the Chambers of Commerce of both cities also mailed a laurel wreath to their hard-working MP and former' mayor of Fort William, Hubert Badanai. His efforts here, as this column has pointed out be- fore; played an influential part in obtaining this concession, which will save the inhabitants of the Lakehead an estimated $70,000 a year. THE GOV. SAYS First notice of this decision came in the form of a release to the newspapers, mimeo- graphed in distinctive blue- mauve ink on a sheet of paper with the printed heading: "Can. ada Post Office -- News Re- lease." "The postmaster general, the Hon. Ellen L. Fairclough," it stated, "today announced that the post office department has decided to group the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William to form one postal area." At the same time a similar decision formed one postal area of the other twin cities in Ontario, Kitchener and Water- QUEEN'S PARK loo, But, unlike the Lakehead cities, which elect Liberal Bert Badanai and New Democrat Douglas Fisher as their: MPs, Waterloo North constituency chose a Conservative MP, So -notice of that decision reached the panting public in a different way. It came on a plain piece of paper, with no printed heading, although also mimeographed in that same blue-mauve ink, ¢ "Mr. O. W. Weichel, MP for the riding of Waterloo North, has announced . . ." And so it went on, in almost identical language. Canada deserves 'Freedom from Patronage" such as that petty little product of -a petty little mind. Mike Weichel, veeran, sports. man and @ former postmaster, is too active an MP to need such artificial gimmicks in aid, although his seat is tottery. Bert Badanai, in contrast, is rock-solid and will be back in Parliament as an MP. His. po- litical neighbor, Port Arthur's Doug Fisher, may well be "looking down.on Parliament" from the Press Gallery, rather than sitting as an MP, when it reassembles. WHY IRRITATE US? The reign of Mrs. Fairclough as Postmistress has initiated another questionable little prac- tice, Last week a new five-cent postage stamp went on sale, commemorating the 150th an- niversary of.Sir Casimir Stan- islaus Gzowski. That day I hap- pened to buy my frequent or- der, 100 5-cent stamps. Instead of being given a complete tidy sheet, I was given the incon- venient confetti of a sheet with Notes Resentment To Glassco Probe By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--It's a big opera- tion, this province of yours. Minister of Public Works Ray Connell gave a few sit-you- back-on-your - heels figures in presenting his estimates: The government now has 5,450 buildings and structures-- varying from a salt shed to the complex of buildings here at Queen's Park. At present there are new buildings and works either un- der construction or planned totalling $120 million, Mr. Connell's prize project is the new $50,000,000 set of build- ings to be added here, The first unit in this, to be 000. This is the same as the first estimated cost for Toronto's bold new city hall--which from the local reception one would think was going to be the eighth wonder of the world. GLASSCO NEED? Mr. Connell inferred his de. partment didn't need a Glassco inquiry. He was able to give a number of instances where Public Works had been following ad- vanced practices as recom. mended by this efficiency study for the federal government. Which doesn't mean that a * Lwnundi, Haram Yjilter Sons Glassco + type inquiry is not needed here, Mr. Connell does run a very efficient department which is modern in its methods. But it is the exception. One of the few departments about which one cay say this, The fact that the Public Works minister showed the con. cern he did bolsters again a contention of this observer: That only a change of govern. ment can bring about a really effective reorgaization of government machinery here, The Glassco report is a fed- eral report, but still Mr. Connell somewhat resented it. And so do all other officials here. To them opened in 1967, will cost $2,500, a criticism of government elf. And there would be the same underlying resentment to any similar inquiry that might be ordered here by the present ad- ministration. It would act on some of the recommendations, but probably not too many. For it would be cleansing its own sins, and in &@ sense admitting error, The position would be just the reverse, of course, with a new administration. It would be not only willing but eager to do an overhaul job. It might even be a bit vicious about it, but at least the job would be done, And it is needed, 1858 EST'). Whi, e to my protest.
