2 THE OSHAWA Times, Mondey, Aprh 22, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN OPERATIONS DIRECTOR URGENTLY NEEDED City Council will give top priority this week to the solu- tion of an important question: Should an interim chairman be appointed to fill in for Alderman Cecil Bint on the Board of Works committee until the latter has fully recovered from his current bout with pneumonia? ' Mr. Bint is up and a- round after six weeks of con- valescing at home, but he is not yet ready to tackle his arduous chairmanship post and will take off this week for Florida on a three-week vacation on doctor's orders. Council must move with haste. The backlog of Board of Works committee work has reached serious propor- tions as was evidenced last Monday when Sam Jackson, Jr., and his group turned up at Council and protested that there were too many delays with their application for a review of certain road-base policies enforced by the City Engineering Department. Al- ------ cai dermen Norman Down and Clifford Pilkey have been carrying on alone in the absence of Mr, Bint -- then Mr. Pilkey was unable to attend meetings last week because of the death of his mother. The chairmanship of the Board of Works committee is about the toughest job on Council, outside the mayoralty, be- cause of the heavy work load and responsibility attached to it. Perhaps better than any other Council post, it clearly il- lustrates how antiquated and outdated Oshawa's present muni- cipal structure is. 'This is because of the fact that the time-consuming chair- manship job is only open to Council candidates who are not tied down too rigidly to a regular work-hour schedule at their regular place of employment. The works committee chairman must be available at odd hours of the day, if he is to keep even half way abreast of the heavy schedule which comes under his immediate juris- diction; this condition, of course, immediately eliminates some aldermen for consideration who may otherwise be ideal candi- dates. This condition also points out strongly the need for im- plementation of the Director. of Operations recommendation made in the Woods, Gordon Report last September. Such unexpected situations as the unfortunate illness of Mr. Bint place the committee at a great handicap in its attempts to administer one of the most important departments in the municipal set-up. If council uses its discretion and searches hard enough, it can come up with the right man for the job of Director, but it must toss out any preconceived ideas that he can be a local man -- a local man, even a district man, would be oper- ating under a handicap that would be too heavy to carry. Me would tinwittingly place a cloud over the new office be- fore it had a chance to get off the ground, Council should not be stampeded, but neither should it stop its search, which is exactly what some people on Council would prefer, despite protests to the contrary. The chairman of the Board of Works committee would not be asked to carry such a work load if a competent Direc- tor was appointed -- meanwhile the taxpayers are being asked NEW YORK (AP)--Astronaut; John H. Glenn Jr, proposed to- day creation of a United States information centre in which would be channelled the vast new quantities of space-age in- formation. The marine lieutenant-colonel, first American to orbit the earth, made the proposal in a mal Associated Press mecting. Glenn said such an informa- tion centre "can pave the way in many fields toward 'use sys- tems' of our knowledge, not just 'file systems," By this, the explained, he meant that highly technical in- formation would be more easily understood and thus be better applied in everyday living. WOULD AID INDUSTRY "The effect on business and industry alone probably would far surpass the initial outlay of such a system, since an Ameri- can businessman with a new idea needs little prodding," Glenn said. Glenn said the immediate pur- pose of the U.S, space program is "providing transportation to new areas and return." "None of the manned space programs of the future is merely to prove that man can adapt and is reliable or can live aboand a space craft," he said. "The long nange 'payoff' comes when we start using these Pro' Football Player Faces Murder Count VANCOUVER (CP) -- Doug- las Harold Brown, 29, a former professional football player with Calgary Stampeders, was charged Saturday with capital murder in the slaying of a Franciscan priest. He was charged less than 12 hours after Father Cuthbert Se- ward, 51, died of bullet wounds in the doorway of his monas- tery beside St. Francis Roman Catholic Church. Det. Sgt. William Porteous identified Brown as a former member of the Western Con- ference team.

Erhard-Adenauer Battle Shapes Up BONN -(AP)--A major battle is 'omg up this week in Pe od cellor Adenauer's campa to keep his No. 2 man, Ludwig Erhard, from taking over as West German leader. The latest public opinion poll put Erhard in the lead among. possible successors to Aden- auer, with 40 per cent of the' sample on his side. This was a' jump from 25 per cent last: month. Adenauer's comment, as: quoted by the popular 'news' weekly Der Spiegel (The Mir-' ror): h "Tl get him back to zero.' Many West Germans credit' Erhard with their country's re-: covery from the chaos of the. Second World War, But Aden- auer says Erhard has no talent for politics, The 87-year-old chancellor re- turned Friday from a month's vacation in Italy. While there,' he publicly promised that he would ask to retire in October or November, 1S OL DHELP Archeologists have determined that rope was in use in gouth- States if reporters spent less time and energy complaining d more effort in present- 1g an accura'* kground to the flow of news. Mr. Freedman told the 14th annual National Newspaper Awards dinner that the '1,500 important correspondents in Washington must be strangely lacking in enterprise and effi- ciency, in integrity and inde- pendence. if they allow their judgment of news to be domi- nated by a smile or a frown in the White House." Any sort of success in the management of news "must be regarded as an indictment of the Washington press corps," said the Winnipeg-born corres- pondent, adding that "any at- tempt to manage the news will inevitably be rewarded with Protected by constitutional guarantees in the Bill of Rights, the American press has access to a volume and range of in- formation that far exceeds any- thing known in Canadian or British experience, he said. "The presidential and con- gressional system of govern- ment compel the disclosure of detailed information on a scale never seen in our Parliament," Mr. Freedman added. NEWS FLOWS FREELY The bulk of the news will al- ways flow across free and hon- est chanels, he said, but the administration of President Kennedy, like all administra- tions, will sometimes try to put its own favorable version on events or policies that are in dispute. Mr, Freedman then discussed Canadian - United States rela- tions, and. said that he hopes adians will never depart from their national convictions that they "are united with the American people in defence of though previously responsible representatives of the U.S.A. in talks with Soviet representa- tives declared they could accept two to four inspections a year." "As soon as we made a siep to meet the U.S. position the United States in substance re- nounced what they themselves proposed to us," he said. "Now at Geneva the (West- ern) representatives use the figure of seven inspections and make it pass for an important concession on their part." Turning to Cuba, Khrushchev said "the liquidation of the Car- ibbean Sea zone crisis," as he territory will draw away from the United States the fire of Russian missiles, They provoke a muciear miissile attack against a neighboring and allied coun- try to diminish . . . the number of missiles that might invest their territory." This last was a reference to testimony by McNamara that Bomares based in Canada might "at the least" serve as a sort of decoy for enemy mis- siles. Canada has acquired Bo- mares but not nuclear war- heads for them. Khrushdhev said it was logi- cal to conclude that the station- the heritage of freedom on which the peaceful future of mankind ultimately depends." He said he hopes Canadians will.

SOME NOTES ON THE HIGH COST OF BRIDGES The cost to the City of that $242,000 John street bridge -- part of the Valley Creek project as proposed in the Damas- Smith Traffic Survey Report -- will be either $53,500 or $98,500, depending on the subsidy granted by the Depart- ment of Highways, Here's the way a spokesman for the City Engineering Dept. explained it: The $242,000 total will include the cost of the: four-lane bridge, plus the cost of a section of the road from Centre to Nassau streets (storm sewers, granular base pavement and sidewalks and purchase of some property). Abutting property owners will pay $24,500, (to be deben- tured), leaving $217,500, The subsidy from the Department of Highways -- if the latter classifies the bridge as "a connecting link" with arterial highways like 401 and decides to pay 75 percent of construction costs, as well as other costs to be announced -- would be $113,500. This would leave $104,000 which would be further re- duced by. $75,000; the amount promised by Dominion Stores IAd, as their share of the Creek Valley development, leaving Brown was arrested after po- lice surrounded an apartment house six blocks from the mon- astery, Detective Inspector Ian Me- Gregor said officers outside the building could see a man pac- ing up and down a room car- rying a rifle.
