The full support of the 10,000 Ford employees and 5,000 Chrys- ler workers was pledged in support of the GM _ contract demands, "Dec, 3 has been set as a strike deadline at five GM plants if a satisfactory pattern is not agreed to by the com- pany,' Mr. Burt's statement read. "23,000 workers in Osh- awa, St. Catharines, Windsor, London and Toronto, are de- termined to make 1964 a year of progress in wages -- pensions --vacations--and other mone- tary requests . . . working con- ditions, including the control of overtime, a better deal for skill- ed trades, and the right to strike on speed-up and unfair production standards. COMPLEX MATTERS "While GM was picked to set the overall monetary _ pattern, the complex matters involving working conditions affecting {n- dividual plants of each company set at Ford and Chrysler... . Local unions at both plants are under Ontario Labor Relations Act conciliation procedures and will soon be in a position to strike, if necessary. "The three companies have had one of the best production years .. ., and can easily af- ford to share substantial profits with employees. The union de- mands are reasonable and prac- tical and are partly dictated by our desire to pick up the work- er's share of high profits made possible by higher productivity and automation, "Canadian car buyers are re- quired to pay hundreds of dol- lars more for their autos than U.S. residents, but C di wages are from 40 cents to $1.40 per hour lower than U.S. wage rates, 'Canadian stockholders, how- ever, get the same dividends as U.S, stockholders, We fail to see why Canadian workers cannot get the same benefits as U.S. employees who build the same cars, belong to the same union and work for the same company. "What is good enough for the Canadian stockholder is good enough for the Canadian auto worker," he said.

Fresh Waves Of Rioting Force Emergency Parley In Viet Nam SAIGON (AP) -- South Viet Nam's national security council met in emergency session today to consider measures against fresh waves of anti-government rioting that resulted in Saigon being placed under martial law. It was the first meeting of the council since street demon- strations began Sunday, threat- ening to topple the fledgling civilian government. Authorities feared the killing of a 15-year-old boy, first known victim of 'the rioting, would touch off new and wider demon- strations. More than 100 have been injured, As the youth's body was put on display in Buddhist head- quarters, a Western observér commented: "They have their martyr; now all hell could break loose." Buddhist jeaders met at the national pagoda and a spokes- man said a demonstration prob- ably would be staged Monday. Under the provisional consti- tution the council has broad powers, including authority to replace Premier Tran Van Hu- ong. Premier Huong imposed mar- rioting described as possibly the year's worst.

"TI believe the minister knows fall well that a certain Mr. Gig- mac has been arrested in Mont- real on @ charge of capital mur- der and I give the minister this riunity to explain to the committee, if he will, what con- nection Mr. Gignac has with this whole affair.' He did not elaborate on the connection. | The Yukon MP added that 'these remarks should not be taken as carrying any inference at all." He made appeals to the em- battled justice minister to "make a clean breast" of the whole matter. And he said the ROMP report contains a reference that Immi- gration Minister Tremblay was in his office at the time the bribe was offered. DENIED KNOWLEDGE Mr, Tremblay denied any knowledge of the bribe. Mr. Nielsen emphasized he was not "imputing" anything against Mr. Tremblay. He also wanted an explana- tion of any part played by Guy Rouleau, Liberal MP for Dol- lard who resigned Tuesday as parliamentary secretany to Prime Minister Pearson. Mr. Nielsen's speech, which contained little new information aside from the "certain Mr. Gignac" reference, was over- shadowed by a lengthy wrangle NEWS HIGHLIGHTS One-Third Of Ford Workers Off OAKVILLE, Ont.

M. Drury announced Wednesday. PICKERING SI 'OF NEW PLA Nuclear Power Station Cost | $266 Ontario Hydro, the Federal > government, and the province of Ontario will share jointly in the costs of the plant, estimated at $266 million. According to the Canadian Press, construction will be in two and possibly three stages. Initially, two 500,000-kilowatt units will be built. These will be expanded to four later, to give a total output of two mil- lion kilowatts. The station may later be ex- panded to six units, and a total power output of three million kilowatts.. If so, the Fairport plant will account for one mil- lion more kilowatts than the St. Lawrence Seaway project. EARLY IN 1965 begin early in 1965. If project- ed plans hold true, the Fairport plant will be the largest nu- clear power plant anywhere in the world. (A 1,180,000 is now being constructed in Great Britain.) Premier John Robarts and W. Ross Strike, Chairman of On- tario Hydro, jointly announced plans for the plant Aug. 20, The 'ollowing division of costs was decided on: Hydro -- $120 million; tario G -- $66.5 mil- to such an important HON.

'HALE, SILVER-HAIRED JUSTICE HEADS INQUIRY QUEBEC (CP). -- Frederic Dorion, 66, is well. equipped to judge Progressive Conservative accusations against two Liber- als executive assistants. He sat in the House of Commons. for six years as an independent. He was appointed a Quebec Superior Court justice in 1957 by the Progressive Conserva- tive government of John Dief- enbaker, but his appointment as chief justice of the court's East- ern Division came through the Liberal government of Lester Pearson in April, 1963. "The main thing is to be ob- jective," he hale, silver-haired chief justice said of the inquiry during an interview Tuesday. Earlier, he had accepted the task of heading the investiga- tion into charges of attempted bribery and coercion against two former executive assistants to federal cabinet ministers. The contrasts in his career point .up the reasons for his reputation for integrity. In 1918, he interrupted law studies at Laval University to join the Royal Air Force. He was in London undergoing final air combat training when armis- tice came, | A First World War volunteer, he fought the Liberal govern- ment's. conscription policy in the second as unjust. Like many Quebecers, he felt the Macken- zie King government had bro- ken a promise to Quebec by holding a conscription plebiscite in 1942. Shortly after the plebiscite, he campaigned in Charlevoix- Saguenay riding as an inde- pendent and sat in the Com- mons until 1948. It was the Liberal policy on conscription he was at odds with, "but I had to vote against the Conservatives many times," the chief justice recalls. He worked as a Conservative organizer from. 1935, with inter- ruptions, until the party was successful in Quebec in 1957. An experienced civil lawyer, he was in line then for the Supe- rior Court appointment, Does he look upon the inquiry as a tough assignment? 'THEY'RE ALL HARD' "They're all hard," the ro- bust, amiable justice said in his panelled office at Quebec City's Palais de Justice. He pointed out his framed First World War commission signed by George V--'I men- tioned it to the Queen when she was here"--and just as proudly spoke of the family history. "The first Dorion settled in Charlesbourg (a suburb) in 1688. All the Dorions in Canada spring from this family." He and his brothers Noel and Charles-Napoleon left the pros- perous family farm in Charles- bourg to study law at Laval. Each has achieved prominence and success both politically and judicially.
