Gordon Churchill, former Con- servative defence minister, said Mr. Hellyer had torpedoed the navy. Within minutes of the an- nouncement, Transport Minis- ter Mcllraith spelled out a three-year, $110,000,000 program to build ships for the transport department. Included would be an $18,000,- 000 'icebreaker, two Pacific weather ships, four ferries for the east coast, and 11 coast guard vessels of varying size.

For anti-sub work, Mr. Hell- yer said, the general-purpose frigate wouldn't be as effective as the latest RCN anti-sub de- stroyers, These carried big heli- copters with both dunking sonar' and weapons-delivery systems. The frigates' light 'copter would lack the sonar. To provide air protection for the fleet, missiles and equip- ment costing $100,000,000 would have to be provided under the frigate program. The next few years may see improved mis- siles that cost less in relation to effectiveness. 26 Fined For Selling Tickets ee a ee te INTERPRETING THE NEWS 18th Birt By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer The United Nations enters its 19th year facing a host of problems for which no easy solutions are in sight. Questions of world disarma- ment, apartheid in South Africa, international conflicts, internal financial woes, arguments over! representation--these are but 2 few of the problems facing a world body. Yet, UN and world leaders have said that the 18th birthday of the UN is probably the brightest in its history. Perhaps the principal reason is the fact that the UN is so heavily burdened as more and more tions turn to it. OPTIMISM TODAY The 18th session of the Gen- eral Assembly, now in progress at New York, has proceeded amid stress on relaxation of international tensions and a spirit of optimism arising largely from the signing of the partial nuclear test-ban treaty. hday > By UN of the secretary-general from that of administrator to that of executive who not only carries out peace-keeping missions but sometimes initiates them. And another is the expansion of the UN peace-keeping role to include the use of UN military forces--a step first taken under; initiative of Canada in 1956 during the Suez crisis and) repeated in 1960 in The Congo. UN TEETH The latter has given the U. its teeth, although it has also given the UN its main reazon for financial crisis as te Soviet bloc, France and other states have refused to pay their share of the cost of such forces. In UN Day messages, leaders of the UN and its member nations said they find cause for hope in the future in spite of the many problems. Mucn of this hope is based on the UN playing a bigger and more effective role in settling dis- putes between nations. External Affairs Minister re ee ede w oe ee ee PS Canada Pension Commission Said Narow-Minded OTTAWA (CP)--Conservative MP Jack McIntosh, co binuing his one-man battle agaiast the Canadian Pension Commission, laccused it Thursday of discrim- ination and "narrow-minded de- cisions" in dealing with veter- vcd claims for disability pen- s! sb ina! y in' ions of the ion Act and should be disbanded "'and_re- staffed with fully - qualified men."

Mr. Scouler said the govern- ment had indicated early last year that one of the frigates would be built in the Halifax yards but he said there would be no immediate effect on the shipyards resulting from loss of the order.

To get all this into one ship, Unite Police Judge Urges OTTAWA (CP)--Judge B. J.) Macdonald, chairman of the) Ontario Police Commission, has} told the annual meeting of the) Association of Ontario Counties that there are too many small and ineffectual police depart- ments in the province. They should be replaced by| the provincial police, he said) Thursday. The problem was,| Jhowever, that the OPP was too! undermanned to take on the ex-| tra responsibilities, - He said the only alternative was to have larger county po- lice forces end amalgamatio of existing local police depart- ments. He told the representatives of 132 Ontario counties. that "the handwriting is on the wall," 'and advised that they "make certain the American experi- ence of organized crime is not repeated here." Judge Macdonald said there Zyrere 208 municipalities in On- "dario with police forces of fewer "than nine men, Of the total 280 "$nunicipalities responsible for "their own policing, 26 per cent had only one constable. a« The judge said the small po- "lice forces were inefficient be- aeause men were not trained "properly, there was a lack of "uniformity in promotion poli- cies, pay was too low to attract highly-qualified men, and the! constables had too many driv-| ers' duties. He called for '"'am- 'algamation where geographi- tally feasible." * Requests for OPP policing had to be turned down in many -eases because the provincial "force itself was understaffed. "'Some think we need another 1,000 men," he said, There also were some cases where municipalities were against having provincial polic- local autonomy. 'But we must see that the police in this prov-| ince are at least as well organ- ized as the crime syndicates," the judge countered. Judge Macdonald was fol- lowed by J. A.

Of the 1962 total, some $475,- 540,000 or 71.5 per cent was de- rived from taxes on motive fuel and $169,185,000 or 25.4 per cent from registrations and public service fees of motor vehicles, including trailers.
