She Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1963------PAGE 6 ' More Nuclear Weapons 'Than Well Ever Drop' "A highly placed defence depart- ment official" was quoted by the New York Times Jast week as sug- gesting that more than half could be safely cut from the $1.8 billion budget of the United States Atomic Energy Commission for the manu- facture of new nuclear weapons, This "policy-making official in the weapons field" of the United States government was quoted as saying: quoted as saying: "We have tens or hundreds of times more (nuclear) weapons than we would ever drop, even in an all- out war. We have had more than we needed for at least two years." Washington correspondents were quick to note that this statement had all the earmarks of a deliberate leak. The question which remains unanswered is, why the leak at this time? Some saw it as a preparation of public opinion for some U.S. con- cession in the forthcoming test ban talks. Others saw it as a devious plot to make U.S. bargaining im- possible in those talks, by removing at least a portion of the bargain- ing material. In any case, it was scarcely a revelation of a deep dark secret, because American scientists and militarists have been talking for some time about over-kill, or the use of more nuclear weapons than needed to do a nice efficient job of destruction, The U.S, joint congres- sional committee on atomic energy has been concerned with the over- production of enriched uranium and plutonium, and the AEC has cut output of the former. But 'what does this all mean to the layman? To 'the Canadian and the European, as well as the Amer- ican, because all would be affected if the weapons were used? As the Christian Science Monitor says, "every civilian intuition is against such grotesque super-competition," but. lacking more information, how can civilian intuition be replaced by sober and informed civilian judg- ment? Does over-production tend to upset the nuclear stalemate, for example? Surely the demands of security must be equated with the demands of democracy. Roads To Recreation A helpful and imaginative new map has been produced by the On- tario government, through the high- ways department in co-operation with the department of travel and publicity and the department of lands and forests. It is called "Roads to Recreation" and its purpose is to bring to the attention of highway travellers the many facilities which abound in Ontario. In the main, the map succeeds in 'its purpose, Miniature picnic tables denote the location of 271 of the more than 1,200 picnic table sites provided by the highways depart- ment, Other symbols locate 188 pro- vincial parks operated by the lands and forests department (marked to show where camping is permitted), 63 parks operated by conservation authorities, 2 museums and 68 his- toric sites. Each facility for rec- reation shown is also numbered and listed under separate headings on the reverse side of the folder. Some private resort operators recreational | may be critical of the map, because it shows only the public facilities and encourages their use. There is brief but encouraging advice, for example, for those who might wish to take camping holidays in the province -- and the resort operators have something less than goodwill for the extensive and excellent camp sites operated across Ontario by the lands and forests department. But they would be' shortsighted to be too critical. This sort of map en- courages exploration; it helps to show what the province has to offer. And many of the people who respond to its lures are certain to spend money in one or another -- or per- haps several -- of the resorts. To keep the map uncluttered, the government cartographers have el- iminated much small detail, and as a result locations of some of the fac- ilities seem to be rather imprecisely given. The traveller, then, will still need his road or regional map for more accurate rendition of geogra- phical and physical detail. Exhibition Of Power For giving samples to residents of a Toronto apartment house, Carling Breweries Ltd. has been deprived of beer store sales and, the right to make home deliveries in the Metro area for a week. The penalty was imposed by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario The LCBO decision two strange aspects of law and life in Ontario: The power of an appoint- ed body to penalize a business with- out recourse to law; and the penal- izing of a business for distributing free samples of a lawful product The Kitchener Record comments: "The brewing business is regarded as a legal industry. It pays taxes and is considered by the revenue department to be as respectable, for instance, as a religious publishing house.

But here are some aspects of this case that deserve further consideration. By suspending the sale and delivery of Carling's products, the Board penalizes not only the company, but its custom- ers, too. By taking disciplinary act- ion without. reference to the courts in what was a breach of the Liquor Control Act, the Board puts itself above the courts and puts those under its control outside protective safeguards of our legal system.

MOLNER, Mi Dear Dr, Molner: I was told by a friend that sunbathing can be harmful; that too much is a contributing factor of skin can- cer. I have always heard that the sun is very beneficial as a good source of Vitamin D Which opinion is Mrs. D. G. Your friend is right. So are you. And both are also wrong. Sun is good. Sun is bad. Let's put it this way: If you are making soup, you add some salt. If you forget the salt, the Soup tastes fiat. Yet if you pour in a whole cup, the soup is too salty The same thing applies to sun. It also applies to the use of medicine. Plenty: of life-saving medicines are wonderful, in the correct amount, They may be harmful and often deadiy if taken in excessive amounts Too much is bad. Enough is necessary n in the smoky cities nd, mahy years ago, had rickets because they didn't get Vitamin D in their food and they didn't get enough sun in the. narrow streets and in he factories where they worked most of the time, Children on the farms, while they may. have eaten much the same food, got more sun and didn't have rick- ets So too little sun can be very harmful Yet too much can be harmful too, It can cause severe sun- burn which can be comparable to being burned over a large part of the body with scalding water. The poisons from the burned skin can mount up so that the patient collapses and has to be put to bed. I've seen these cases. They may not be frequent, but they can happen, And t "s a third risk.

It is being organized by the newly appointed appeals di- rector of the National Trust, Commander Conrad Rawnsley. Commander Rawnsley, who is a grandson of one of the iound- ers of the trust, discussing the project, gave the information that it would be larger than the Westminster Abbey appeal for $3,000,000. This will by a long way be the largest sum that has ever been asked for by the 68-year. old trust, which relies on vol- untary support to maintain its activities on behalf of the pub- lic. The Albert Hall meeting, it is reported, will have the sup- port of leading figures of the three main political parties Commander Rawnsley said: "Unless we receive strong support there will soon be so little coastline left for the en- joyment of the public that it will not be worth doirig it at all. All the time: new motorways and truck routes are being built, bringing pressure on de- velopers and landowners, with the result that many of the empty and most attractive parts of the coastline will be filled with privately-owned vil- las, with the public excluded." AREAS SELECTED Plans for the huge fund-rais- ing project have already been made. The Trust's area land agents have told it which areas of the coastline they. consider to be worth saving. It is hoped that apart from giving money for the preservation sche me, landowners whose properties in- clude selected sections of the coastline will offer land in the areas chosen, or at least give restrictive covenants. The National Trust is aiming to acquire about 250,000 acres of land, If all of this area had to be bought at present-day mar ket: prices, it might well cost the Trust about $75 million Commander Ramnsley is the grandson of Canon R. DL Rawnsley, who founded the trust along with Miss Octavia Hill and Sir Robert Hunter. His naval career included service with the hydrographical survey section in the China seas and Malacca Strait. Although the appeals direc- torship with the Trust is a full- time job for him, he will re- main a director of the family toy business, operated in an old mill between Midhurst and Pet- worth in Sussex. He and his wife live in the miller's house, BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Sgt. Stephen F.

Tee ed le dl callie ade Colorful Trio Keystone Of Government In Kenya By DENNIS LEE ROYLE NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)--It is the season of the big rain in Kenya. These torrential, tropical downpours have hushed the ju- bilant cries of uhuru (freedom) and are quickly obliterating the first African self - government election posters and slogans _ plastered on nearly every wall throughout the country, Painted Kikuyu women no longer prance through the cen- tre of cosmopolitan Nairobi chanting and giggling over their new freedom, Self-government for Kenya is a reality and independence and republican status as near a cer- 'tainty within a few months as anything can be, Heading the new government ts Jomo Kenyatta, 73, president of the Kenya African National Union. He is the country's first premier and probably will be- come president when Kenya be- comes a republic soon after in- dependence, A burly, bearded, swaggering man addicted to wearing a waist - length leather jacket, beaded tribal headgear and brandishing a flywhisk, Ken. yita served eight years in prison after he was convicted of managing the bloody Mau Mau uprising of 1952 Kenyatta's righthand man in the Kanu government is leftist Oginga Odinga, who follows closely in his master's foot steps, sporting palm beach shirts, tribal headwear and the usual symbol of African status --the flywhisk. Only suave Tom Mboya 32, looks and dresses like a politi- cian, favoring immaculate tail ored suits cut on British lines. Mboya is as smart as he . He is generally credited with more political knowledge than any of the other Kenya leaders. He has made frequent visits to the United States aud Britain, This colorful trip, with vastlv divergent political ideas and ambitions, form the keystone of the new government. Kenyata heads the powerful and predominant Kikuyu tribe, which was behind the Mau Mau rebellion, while Mboya and Odinga both seek the headship of their Luo tribal followers Many of Kenya's white set- OTTAWA REPORT tlers have already quit the country rather than face the un- certain future of a Negro gov- ernment. Pioneer white farmers who forced vast tracts of barren land into fertile farms produc- ing coffee, tea, cattle and pyre- thrum have either returned to Britain, sought brief respite in Southern Rhodesia, or started afresh in the continent's last white bastion, South Africa, WAIT AND SEE Some Europeans born in Kenya have adouted a wait-and- see policy, hoping Kenyatta wiil stick by his promise of "for- getting past racial differences." One Nairobi businessman ex- plained: 'I cannot start life again at my age; this has becn my home for 40 years. Where can I go? Where can I start again? If I have any future left, it's here in Kenya, There-is just no place left to run to." Fresh in the minds of many European settlers is the terror and butchering of both Negroes and whites during the eight- year Mau Mau uprising. Many still recall the role al- leged to have been played by Kenyatta during the terror. Af- ter serving his eight-year pri- son term, Kenyatta emerged a hero among his Kikuyu follow- ers, The new government's grav- est problem ifs the unification of Kenya's complex tribal com- munities, which for years nave waged bitter faction fights and carried on tribal warfare, cat- tle rustling and terror, Kenyatta is well aware of the divergent needs of the Somalis the warrior Masai, the Tuk and other pastoral and nomad tribes whose continual feuding' could result in another Congo - type crisis. Poverty and illiteracy on a vast scale among Kenya's 8,000,000 Negroes is another grave problem confronting the new government, CONDITIONS PRIMITIVE Millions are housed in straw- thatched huts without sanitation and surrounded by a sea of mud during the rainy season, Inadequate medical attention takes a massive toll of young life. Children succumb quicky to minor ailments aggravaied by malnutrition and unhealthy living conditions. To help stabilize a self-ruled Kenya, Britain has given £10,- 000,000 ($30,000,000Y" in grants. and loans to assist in the pur- chase of farmland previously owned by whites. The land is to be allocated in small lots to landless Negro farmers. This assistance, - announced hours after Kenyatta's political victory, is in addition to other British grants set aside for var- ious projects, including housing, education, industrial deveiop- ment and hospital facilities.

They have been re- placed by Liberal ministers in the seats of power. The mere 14 exministers who are still members of the House of Com- mons are no longer the masters 'of Canada, the confidential ad- visers of the Governor-General, or even guests of honor at embassy receptions, Where are the others? Two were appointed Lieutenant-Gov- ernors of provinces, five were appointed. to the Senate, two transferred to provincial pol- itics, one died, and thirteen have gone back to private life, Among the latter, the best known across Canada' was de+ servedly Donald Fleming, who as finance minister brought in seven budgets. After 18 years on Parliament Hill, this former finance minister and justice minister anticipated with good reason thé honour of being appointed to be a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada--like Liberal finance minister Abbott before him; or even to be Chef Justice of Canada--like Liberal Justice Minister Fitzpatrick be fore him. The Purple Of Commerce _ But the dangled honor did not come to him, and he has joined a Toronto law firm founded a century ago by a famous Libera!, Edward Blake, who also served as Canada's justice minister Don Fleming was most in the news when he was carrying the burden of the government's aitempt to dismiss Bank of Canada Governor James Coyne, Two'of his former colleagues, now aiso missing from Parlia- ment Hill, hit their climax ef public acclaim when they nailed their colors to the mast and resigned from the Diefenbaker cabinet to assert their own principles: Hon, George Hees and Hon, Pierre Sevigny Mr. Hees' talents, which he amply proved as trade minister, have been recognized by a prominent Liberal. Senator D'Arcy Leonard, who is chair- man of the Triarch Investment Corporation in Toronto, has ap- pointed George. Hees to b2 his fellow director. Perhaps the most remarkable success has come to Hon, Pierre Sevigny, whose talents never won him cabinet recog- nition above the unrealistic role of "associate minister of de- fence.' Like Hon. Robert Win- ters, of the former Liberal gov- ernment, he has marked his depariure from Parliament Hull by accepting an outstanding position in industry, Mr. Se- vigny has just been appointed chairman of the Fischbach aud Moore Holding Company in Canada, at a remuneration re- ported as nearly three times the pay of a cabinet minister. LS Giant Comes Te Canada 'be completely revamped. Fischbach and Moore is the Canadian subsidiary of a rich and successful U.S. company which is worldfamous a: a great electrical contractor. Its past achievements range from the United Nations headquarters in New York to U.S. missile sites; from the Wabush develop- ment in Labrador to plants for wellknown U.S. companies such as RCA, General Motors, Kaiser Steel and Ford, In fact its 74 year old founder, Mr. Henry Fischbach, is one of those great success stories who become & legend in' their own lifetime. He started his business after the first World War with. $400, and he has built it up into a concern which now grosses $70- million a year around the world, Mr. Sevigny was handpicked, on the basis of his previous business. experience, for the important task of building up the newly formed Canadian sub- sidiary into a successful under- taking offering many well-paid jobs to Canadians. Thus the three bright young men, whose talents suggest that they will have a future on Parliament Hill, are now all absent: Davie Fulton temporar ily in provincial politics in B.C.: George Hees in finance in Toronto; and Pierre Sevigny in Canada-wide industry. QUEEN'S PARK own, We cannot lean on a phil. osophy of banking indefinitely on'aid from the United States." The rarely photographed and seldom interviewed brother of the president said he supports. a study aimed at gradually re- ducing U.S. aid to South Viet Nam, Under this plan, U.S. military aid to South Viet Nam, cur- rently estimated at $500,000,000 a year, would be gradually, but Steadily, whittled down, Nhu said, He admits that some aid prob. ably will always be needed, however, "Everything depends on what the enemy is going to do," he said, "but it is absolutely essen tial to move in this direction." Nhu believes neighborin Laos, also seriously threatened by the Communists, can still be saved if the United States com. mits itself to the same military effort there that i has in South Vie Nam, TROOPS UNDER FIRE More than 12,000 U.S. service. men are assisting and advising Vietnamese troops and are fre- quently under fire in the war against Red Viet Cong guer- rillas in South Viet Nam. In Laos, the United States is committed to supporting a neu- tralist government that includes Communsit Pathet Lao repre- sentatives. Turning to the subject of re- cent Buddhist riots in Soutn Viet Nam, which have claimed at least 13 lives including that of an aged monk who. cremated himself in public, Nhu said: "The government's prob'ems with the Buddhists have been resolved and we do not. expect further eruptions." Buddhist leaders disagree, however, and warn of possible new trouble. Basically, the Buddhists pro- test alleged oppression by the Catholic Ngo Dinh Diem gov- ernment. Nhu claims a solution of the Buddhist problem was delayed because of the inability of var- ious Buddhist factions to agree to negotiate with the govern- ment, He denies Buddhist alle- gations that the government has oppressed the Buddhists. Nhu blames periodic friction and misunderstandings between the United States and South Viet Nam on what he calls "wide. spread misinformation" in the United States about his country. Job Competition Raises Questions By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The case of the travel and publicity employees who have to apply for their own jobs was mentioned here some time ago. Since then the affair has grown into an untidy little don- nybrook. The point of the fight, how- ever, seems to boil down to the question: What do you io when you want to step up the effi- ciency of a department? Must you work with the exist- ing executives and try to make them more efficient? Or can you go outside and hire new men? The Civil Service Assov:ation would seem to infer that you must stick to the men you have. However, its rather ridiculous position would seem to be taken as a protection against govern- ment getting the habit of bring- ing in putside men SOME REVAMPING NEEDED For obvious reasons there must be situations in which a branch of government needs to And this usually would mean bring- ing in ¢cempletely new men In the case of Travel and Publicity any realist here rec- ognizes it needs such a revamp- ing. The department has had a topsy-turvy growth. It has bee@ one of the dogs of government, kept on a small budget, and generally not appreciated. Getting by from hand te mouth, and yet with the con- stant need to expand, men have been promoted into jobs they don't have the capacity to fill. And in other cases they have been put into positions in which it wasn't clear to them, or any- one else, just what they were supposed to do. STCNGER SERVICE It would seem that the Civil Service Commission has, taken the sensible course in clearly outlining job qualifications and then going outside the service to see who it could attract to fill them. The men concerned in the de- partment now will stil] have a chance to fill their top positions. But they will have to stand up against open competition to do 50. If they Jose they will still have jobs. But not the promin- ent ones they have held. Out of the process there should be a stronger depart- ment and a stronger civil ser- vice.
