« THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, June 26, 1964 Pearsons Pull Thorn To CBC OTTAWA (CP) -- A letter tabled in the Commons Thurs- day by Prime Minister Pearson revealed that a high - ranking CBC official disapproved of the way in which Mr. Pearson was given control over production of the ill-fated CBC documentary, Mr. Pearson. The letter was written to the prime minister last Jan. 28 by Reeves Haggan, general super- visor of public affairs programs for the BC. Mr. Haggan wrote that he had just learned of a Sept. 23 letter to the prime minister's office from Richard Ballentine, direc- tor of the Pearson film project, in which Mr. Ballentine had promised that he would cut out any sequence the prome minis- ter objected to. (Mr. Ballentine, an independ- ent Toronto television producer, filmed the documentary on a $35,000 contract with the CBC but the corporation subsequently decided against broadcasting the program.) Mr. Haggan said the prime minister was "fully entitled to raise objections' to film por- tions that invaded his private life or secret conversations, but he opposed a complete veto power over the film's contents. SEES OUTCOME The CBC official said such a veto power would mean "'a com- plete abdication of our respon- sibility" by the CBC and could result in "well-founded accusa- tions that the corporation is political partiality" in favor of Mr. Pearson, fied and set aside."

Ottawa Ponders Peril Tag OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada is waiting for a report from an ad- visory committee on smoking before it decides whether to fol- low the United States and order cigarette makers to label their wares as a hazard to health. Health Minister Judy La- Marsh, who abandoned smoking last year to set an example for others, says the government isn't sure it has the power to impose such a warning on cig- arette packages--even if it de- cided to do so. She told the Commons Thurs- day that the government-spon- sored advisory committee, set up after last November's con- ference of doctors, provincial and federal health officials, to- bacco growers and cigarette manufacturers, is actively con- sidering the question of cigar- ette promotion and advertising. "Tt appears to be as much a question of whether the federal government can do it as it is whether to do it," she said. "When they make a report to bas -- 'od action or no action, necessary to ascer- tain whether the federal govern- ment can take such action and then to decide whether the fed- eral government wishes to do so."

He said $100,000 is still avail- able from a $300,000 donation by the tobacco industry for re- search to determine the cause of lung cancer.

"If all young people had as Many merits as the governor- general, then French - Canada would not be involved in any controversy," the judge told them. "These types of demon- Strations always involve persons who do not know how to live, who do not respect authority. They do not respect the gover- nor-general by their actions. The governor - general was among dignitaries on the parade reviewing stand Wednesday night when separatists demon- strated before him. One of the six accused, Serge Payette, 19, pleaded guilty to tearing a Red Ensign from a parked car and was fined $5 and costs.

Nobody apart from the Social Credit Leader Thompson men- tioned whether or not the rou- tine supply bill should be passed. He said the House/fl should endorse it quickly and get on to important legislation. Mr. Thompson thus joined in a side discussion in which it was generally agreed something should be done to expedite par- liamentary business. But there was no agreement on how. The Commons today continues the supply debate, filling oul the week with it. Conservative MPs recognzed at the outset that if they could keep the debate go- ling three weeks they might \fore a general election.

ANNOUNCES DECISION State Secretary Lamontagne announced to the House the CBC board of directors' decision to uphold the CBC's earlier de- termination not to show the $35,- 000 documentary Mr. Pearson, based on a day in the life of he prime minister.

Reeves Haggan, supervisor of public affairs program for CBC, wrote in January withdrawing this commitment, saying it was "a degree of control over a CBC production never accorded to any other political leader and contrary to the corporation's well-established principles and practices... ." In the debate that followed, Douglas Fisher (NDP -- Port Arthur) said he believed Mr.|t Pearson had not directly inter- vened to prevent the film be- ing shown on television. But Mr. Fisher said he found it difficult to believe that political consid- erations were not in mind when cabinet ministers, members of Mr. Pearson's staff and Liberal Party Director Keith Davey re- eral government services for}viewed the film to screen out anything private, secret or in bad taste, side discussion of House proce- dures and mentioned the in- It inflamed some of his own party members, -- MENTIONS CLOSURE ments can be made among party leaders to voluntarily with parliamentary business, the government might have to con- sider imposing closure.
