$2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 19, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN LET'S GET ON WITH KING 'ST. CLEAN-UP Let's hope that by the time this story gets into print the City will have heard from the Department of Highways. Remember how the City sent the Department an amended application recently for an increased grant on a portion of the downtown King street clean-up for the road, curb and gutter and granular base job? To backtrack a bit -- the City last month asked 58 downtown property owners-- whose sites abutt the road--to pay something like $146,000 out of a total of $486,000 (the City's share was $180,400, the Province's $160,000) on the downtown King street clean-up. The owners were to pay 100 percent of the sidewalks cost $36,000), plus $60,000 for seven feet of pave- ment on each side of the street and curb and gutter and granular base. The wail of protest that went up from the owners at this announcement could be heard all the way to Syden- ham farm; then the City de- cided to at least try and ease the owners suf- fering by asking the Prov- ince for a larger grant on the road, curb and gutter and granular base job, 75 percent, to be exact, the balance to be paid by the City. This still left the owners with the cost of the sidewalks to bear. Some influential voices were heard to the effect that the owners should not quibble about bearing this ratio share of the King street clean-up, inasmuch as it would greatly en- hance the real estate values of said properties; also some people pointed out that the downtown King street owners had escaped pretty well for the past 25 or 30 years insofar as re- pairs on roads, sidewalks, curb and gutters were concerned. Some of the owners, on the other hand, strongly sug- gested that the City had often been lenient when applying for Provincial grants on such projects -- the answer to this charge should be known shortly. ae What will happen if the City is unsuccessful in its bid for a higher grant? Best guess seems to be that it will proceed with the King street job as proposed in the amend- ed application to the Province -- the difference could be made up by cancelling some other road projects scheduled for this year. The sad part of the story is this -- if the City doesn't get to work on the job soon, the King street clean-up will not be completed this year. Remember how the PUC and the Consumers' Gas Co. were to start to work immediately following the Tracks Re- moval celebration May 11 on their part of the project? There was much underground work to be done by them preliminary to the new road installation -- only the PUC has done any- thing to date, some underground electrical work on the west sector near MacMillan drive. The overhead trolley wires were removed, but the tracks (that dreadful blight on the downtown area) remain, and here it is June 19. There was one hopeful note out of City Hall this week -- City Engineer Fred Crome said that a reply from the De- partment of Highways was expected "'at any time". FRED CROME COUNCIL VETOES "DAY" MEETS, 6--5 City Council on Monday night debated for more than 40 minutes before it defeated, 6-5, a motion by Alderman Cliff Pilkey that the mayor be empowered to call six daytime open Council meetings if His Worship decided that it was neces- sary "for urgent business or to clear up a heavy backlog of work." Mr. Pilkey presented a most reasonable argument along these lines: Too many items of impor- tance today are '"rubber- stamped' through Council because of over-heavy agen- das. An occasional day meeting would help to ease the load --important matters could be given the attention they de- serve. "After 10:30 or 11 o'clock at night around here too many items are steam-roller- ered through because we are all tired -- and I am as guilty as the next fellow -- and because everybody has an eye on the clock," said Mr. Pilkey. "I think we could do a real service for the commu- et SEY nity. I have faith in Mayor Gifford to believe that he would only call these meetings if absolutely necessary. As it is now, an alderman is almost afraid to ask questions if the hour is late. We could run Coiincil much more efficiently if this motion succeeded." Alderman Thomas Rundle opposed the motion, as did Aldermen Dafoe (although he actually supported it for most of the debate), Branch, Bint, Attersley and Dyer. Mr: Pilkey was supported by Mayor Gifford and Aldermen Brady, Down and Walker. Alderman Dyer repeated what he has said so many times before -- he would ndt have allowed his name to stand for election had he known that day meetings would even be considered. - : Alderman Rundle said the motion would automatically ' eliminate many potential candidates from seeking municipal office ("I made a personal survey on this matter and I couldn't vote for it because I feel that certain groups, such as business and professional men, as well as lawyers and doc- tors, would not seek office if there was the possibility of any daytime meetings of Council.") Alderman Attersley sounded a negative note when he said that the mayor had the right to call meetings on 48 hours' notice; but Mr. Gifford pointed out later: "Unless you put teeth into this bylaw and say specifically, 'these gentlemen will be fined if they miss a meeting,' it is useless." ' Mr. Pilkey's motion was defeated, but he made a good run for it -- our personal opinion is that it would succeed next year because 1964 is election year. Most of these same councillors who opposed the motion Monday would be more amenable with an early election in the offing, especially as such a motion would undoubtedly have the heavy endorsation of the electorate.

OTTAWA (CP)--Six days of Commons debate starts today on Finance Minister Walter Gordon's "face the facts" budget. Conservative and New Dem. ocratic MPs, however, are aim- ing their speech preparation more on the finance minister's need--as they see it--to face basic parliamentary facts of life than on Parliament's need to face economic facts. Shouts of "resign" were hurled at the 57-year-old char- tered accountant Tuesday when he gave the Commons further explanations about outside ad- pare the budget presented to Parliament last Thursday. Looking paler than usual and his voice sounding heavy with fatigue, Mr. Gordon explained that the three Toronto business- men were engaged on a con- tract basis, not given special appointments as he earlier had told the House. His further ex- planations led the opposition to accuse him of misleading the Commons on earlier occasions, something Parliament looks vn as a cardinal sin. CALL FOUL PLAYS Mr. Gordon, whose profes- sional ethics and career have visers engaged to help him pre- Possible minority government, peppered with opposition criticism of the budget, faces a possible three |confidence votes on which it could stand or fall. The stage was set today with opening in the Commons of the six-day debate on Finance Min. years. | The first of the votes, arising out of the debate, could come| Thursday night, It will be the | first test of government strength since it weathered two non-con- fidence motions in the throne speech debate at the start of the session last month. The hottest issue flared again Tuesday. There were opposition | shouts of "'shame" and '"'resign"| directed at Mr. Gordon during| an unfesolved dispute. over whether three Toronto business- men who helped prepare last Thursday's budget were prop- erly appointed. Controversy also surrounds the budget's contents. Tuesday afternoon Eric W. Kierans, president of the Montreal and Canadian stock exchanges, met} Mr. Gordon to deliver a sting- ing attack on the new 30-per- cent tax on large-scale sales of Canadian companies' stock to foreign investors. TELEGRAMS COMPLAIN Numerous telegrams of com-| plaint over application of the 11-| per-cent sales tax to building materials have also landed on |Mr. Gordon's desk. | Tuesday's renewal of the dis-} pute over the three outside | helpers was touched off by| ister Gordon's budget.

Opposition Leader Diefenba- ker accused the government of "contemptuous disregard'"' Parliament. Mr. Gordon said: 'I have no intention of misleading the House, nor do I think I did. If think I did." Mr, Knowles noted the min. ister had said the three were appointed by treasury board, a committee of cabinet. NO ORDER PASSED The NDP member said the treasury board was prohibited from making appointments by a section of the Financial Admin- istration Act, and no cabinet or- der had been passed to validate the treasury board's action. Mr. Gordon said the "'special consultants' were employed un- der another section of the act covering service contracts. This provided for treasury board ap- proval of contacts of more than $1,000. The section of the act cited by Mr. Knowles "does not ap- ply in these cases" and cabinet | approval was not required, Mr.| Gordon said. Gordon Churchill, former Con- servative defence minister, re- ferred to last Friday's Com. mons record and quoted Mr. Gordon as saying the three had been appointed by cabinet or- der. "Tf that is not misleading the House . . . I do not know what misleading the House is," Mr. Churchill said.

OTTAWA (CP)--A spokesman for the New Democratic Party indicated Tuesday that his group will continue its parlia- mentary blockade of divorce bills and launch a new blockade --this one aimed at American- controlled companies. Frank Howard (NDP -- Skeena) told The Canadian Press outside the Commons that all private bills for incorpora- tion of companies will get the same treatment as divorce peti- tions: Namely, they will be de- Eg as long as the rules per. He made the statement after he and three other New Demo- crats 'talked out" a private bill to incorporate the Standard Trust Company, which would _-- a capital stock of $5,000,- The bill, sponsored by Ian G. 4|Wahn (L--Toronto St. Paul's), did not come to a vote during ;|the hour set aside for private members' business. Private and divorce bills are debated only one hour each week and can be held up for months when there is a long list of them. All four NDP _ speakers stressed that Mr. 'Wahn should give assurances that Standard Trust will be owned and con- trolled by Canadians. Mr, Wahn said only that the company had found the neces- sary capital and management personnel. The six provisional directors listed in the bill are all Ontario residents. DIRECTORS LISTED They are Wilbur Carlisle Cochrane and Bertram Elmore Willoughby, Toronto; W. G. Thompson, Blenheim; Stephen B. Roman, Markham; George . Rodanz, Whitchurch, and John Bull, Chinguacousy, Peel County. Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Roman are identified as executives, Mr. Willoughby as a realtor, Mr. Thompson as a grain merchant and Mr. Bull and Mr. Rodanz as farmers. Reid Scott (NDP -- Toronto Danforth) said American and other foreign investors have -- gradually increased their de- gree of ownership and control of Canadian industry, and it was time the trend was re- versed, He had nothing against Amer- ° icans but he believed the Cana. dian economy should not be subject to such strong external influences. The same argument was voiced by Arnold Peters (NDP -- Timiskaming) and H. W. Herridge (NDP--Koote- nay West). Mr. Peters said not only all directors but all shareholders of Standard Trust should be Cana. | dians. Similar private bills have been passed within minutes in the Commons in the past. Warning System To Curb Rackets KITCHENER (CP) The Kitchener Chamber of Com- merce is setting up a warning system to alert the city's mer- chants about the operation of travelling racketeers . A plan was approved Tuesday night involving 30 selected mer- chants who will serve as links in the warning chain. When the chamber office is notified by police of a racketeer operating in the area, the 30 merchants will be notified. Each will have 10 merchants to call involving a total of 300.

Sophisticated Israelis, hearing of the premier's weekend resig- nation and striving to recall the number of times he had done it before, could scarcely be blamed for the suspicion that the 76-year-old patriarch confi- dently expects an early call from a delegation of chastened party leaders imploring him to re- rm. As head of a succession of coalition governments through- out all but. two years of the young state's existence, the strong-willed old warrior has /been constantly plagued by the necessity of accommodating the |conflicting pressures of the jthree or four minor parties that jhe depended upon for survival. He has vainly sought reform of Israel's electoral system, which allots parliamentary seats to the parties in accord- ance with their percentage of |the popular vote. In five elec- jtions, no party has ever suc- |ceeded in achieving anything close to a majority in the Knes- |set. | A lifetime of devotion to the |Zionist cause and the country's phenomenai achievements un- lder his leadership have made {Ben-Gurion a truly Churchillian jfigure. With his flowing white jhair and invariable open-necked shirt, even on ceremonial oc- \casions, he is instantly recog- |nizable to Israeli and foreigner jalike.

Like Germany's Kon- rad Adenauer, he has been ac- cused of deliberately shunting potential successors to the side- lines. | LABOR COMPLAINS Smaller labor parties, Mapai's natural allies, complained that Ben-Gurion ignored their repre- sentatives in his top political and diplomatic appointments. Secular politicians deplored his concessions to the orthodox re- ligious parties in return for their votes on key issues. Recently Ben-Gurion has been under heavy ifre for his efforts to improve relations with West Germany, still blamed by many Israelis for the Nazi slaughter of 6,000,000 Jews during the Sec- ond World War. A number of protest demonstrations were or- ganized by various factions of the left and right during the recent visit of Franz Josef Strauss, former West German defence minister. In addition, the premier's op- ponents accused him of cover- ing up investigations into al- leged security leaks. Yet, there is little indication that Israel's divided politicians, whose party. allegiances are older and, according to some observers, stronger than their ties to the new state, are likely to harmonize their differences if the old man goes. Though they have been hos- tile to Ben-Gurion's leadership, his previous two years out of office offered no evidence that they were any happier without Muskoka . Windsor .... London ...
