OTTAWA (CP)--A Commons committee wasempowered Thursday to hear the three maritime union trustees and Op- position Leader Diefenbaker said he wants Leonard (Red) McLaughlin, reported elected president of the Seafarers' In- ternational Union of Canada (Ind.), called as a witness, Labor Minister MacEachen suggested the motion summon- ing the trustees be passed im- mediately after Mr. Diefenbaker asked whether the trustees and the government have. endorsed Mr. McLaughlin. The Opposition leader also said the committee will want to heer from International SIU President Paul Hall to deter- mine whether any agreement was made about Mr. McLaugh- lin in connection with deposed Canadian SIU president Hal C. NEW MOON VEHICLE new Moon landing vehicle soars to an altitude of 30 feet -- its highest yet in five test flights -- during a test at Navy Tradesmen | Leaves Old Ships OTTAWA (CP)--A_ shortage of technicians has hurt the navy just as Defence Minister Hell- yer is about to announce a new shipbuilding program. Informed sources said Thurs- day night the shortage of skilled tradesmen in the navy has reached "disaster" proportions. Mr. Hellyer confirmed in the Commons in reply to a salvo of Opposition questions that six older warships have been tied up in Halifax because their trained personnel are required to man new ships coming into service.

The supply ships will be of the same class as the new HMCS Provider though there will be some minor design changes to enable them to carry army vehicles and a few troops. This program will take be- tween four and five years to complete. At the same time, the seven Restigouche class destroyers will be modernized to carry the American ASROC (anti-subma- rine rocket) system as well as new underwater detection gear. Meanwhile, sources said the navy has had a net loss of 75 experienced personnel a month for. the last six months to higher-paying civilian jobs. Officials said the main reason for the shortage of technicians is the booming civilian econ- omy.

CREWS ROTATE He said a new system of ro- tating crews is being put into effect. It was hoped that this step, along with others, would overcome the problem. Mr former Conservative defence minister Douglas Harkness: "Every effort is being made to retain in the navy the neces- sary: number of highly skilled tradesmen. "If we are to do this, career opportunities and conditions. of service, including living ac- commodation, must be made more attractive." One source said the only way to cure the problem is to offer sailors hefty cash bonuses to sign on for additional hitches. All Klik Recovered HULL, Que.

Ranks, Mr. Diefenbaker asked Mr. MacEachen whether Mr. Mc- Laughlin is fit to hold the job since a royal commission in- | quiry said he had collaborated with Banks and was a "'clever, resourceful and entirely untruth- ful witness.' Elson Woolliams (PC--Bow River) demanded action to put an end to Banks' control over the union and the trustees. Banks slipped into the United States when out on bail await- ing an appeal hearing of a con- viction of a conspiracy charge that arose out of the inquiry re- port of Mr. Justice T. G. Nor- ris. FIRED BANKS The trusteeship, approved by Parliament last fall, fired Banks earlier this year and supervised new elections. It was reported Wednesday that Mr. McLaugh- lin was elected president. Mr. MacEachen said earlier that to his knowledge there is nothing in federal files showing that Bahks made a payment to Raymond Denis, former execu- tive assistant to Immigration Minister Tremblay. He was immediately chal lenged by NDP Leader Douglas, who said "certain press men" have been told the documents exist and have been found. On Tuesday Mr. Douglas had Diefenbaker After New SIU President? asked Mr. MacEachen to have the files of the Norris commis- sion searched for a voucher showing Banks paid Mr. Denis $1,500 or some other amount. Thursday he asked whether the minister had anything to re- port. AGREED TO SEARCH Mr. MacEachen said he had agreed to order a search for the alleged voucher and, if one was found, to turn it over to a judi- cial inquiry that has been set up to study allegations of at- tempted bribery against Mr. Denis. The allegation is not con- nected with Banks. "The presumption is that no such voucher exists," he added. Mr. Douglas said reporters had been told otherwise. Exis- tence of a voucher should be sufficient reason to extend the inquiry into the complete activi- ties of Mr. Denis while he was working in the immigration min- ister's office. The minister repeated that he has received no indication from any source in his department that the voucher exists. But he agreed to find out. Whites Have Whiskered Rockwell, No Faith Andrew Borowiec, whose Associated Press assign- ments have carried him across the face of Africa, flew from Nairobi, Kenya, to Stanleyville when Belgian paratroopers and Congolese soldiers captured the rebel capital. This is his story of the white mercenary of- ficers who led the Congolese in the land attack. By ANDREW BOROWIEC STANLEYVILLE (AP) -- On the brown dirt roads of the east- ern Congo, white mercenaries and Congolese gendarmes from Katanga province are fighting a war without much faith in its outcome. Their task is to liquidate the resistance of the savage fight- ers of Christophe Gbenye's rebel regime.

This is partly because most Congolese officers wilij not ac- cept orders from whites. But the truth is that few Congolese of- ficers wanted to leave Leopold- ville and other garrison towns to fight.

Canadian immigration author- ities caught up with Rockwell, and, because he was headed back to the U.S. at the time, they let him go. Rockwell came to Vancouver for a speaking engagement at the Unievrsity of) British Col- umbia. However, the speech was ordered cancelled at the last minute by John B. Macdonald, university president. The university's special events committee, which had offered to pay Rockwell's travelling ex- penses if he spoke to a meet- ing scheduled for Thursday, had billed the speech as "stimulat- ing and provocative." Rockwell was interviewed at the Biltmore Motor Hotel here where he registered under the Canada until about 2 a.m. Thursday. STOPPED CAR "We stopped the car and questioned Rockwell at Douglas oorder crossing and then let him proceed because he was heading back to the U.S." Rockwell also came to Canada Oct. 24 to watch himself on a filmed by the CBC, His visit raised a storm of controversy in the Commons.

On this basis I advised the Alma Mater Society that Rock- well would not be permitted to speak on the campus of the uni- versity of British Columbia."

McLaughlin Says SIU -- Not A One-Man Show MONTREAL (CP) -- Leonard (Red) McLaughlin, who went to sea in 1940 as a teen- ager, has taken over the helm of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada (Ind.) as the result of two months of voting by union members. , He says one of his big jobs will be to change the union's image. A 39-year-old native of New Zealand, now a Canadian citi- zen, Mr. McLaughlin was elected SIU president by a solid majority, sources close to the union said Thursday. Official re- sults are expected to be an- nounced next week. Mc. McLaughlin has been an SIU executive for 10 years. and succeeds Hal C. Banks, deposed as president last spring by the board of maritime trustees. He says he wants to end the image that the SIU is run by one man. THERE'S NO 'THRONE' "From now on there will be no 'throne' in this union. It will be run by its elected executive board. I've instituted a policy of consulting the board on all mat- ters of consequence and of call- ing in rank-and-file groups to discuss problems and possible solutions." To all intents and purposes he has headed the union since Banks' dismissal. Mr. Mc- Laughlin was elected executive vice - president in 1961. One of the first steps was to get rid of the massive curved desk that Banks once used. It was set deliberately high so that his home here, was elected over six other candidates and car ried 14 members of his 15-man ° slate with him. There were * eight former Banks men in the slate, including three who had been fired by Banks. WAS LOYAL i Mr. McLaughlin says that he was loyal to Banks, adding that he feels loyalty to a superior is necessary in any organiza- tion, labor or othe: here," he said. the union's links with the t that have been see' r Even when Banks ruled, he says, he was elected by the membership "'and I was, and am, answerable only to them." He was denounced in the Nor- ris report on strife in the Great Lakes shipping industry as "a clever, resourceful and entirely untruthful witness in any mat- ter of controversy." HAS REPLY Mr. McLaughlin replies that the Norris report did not out- line the "matters of controversy and nowhere did he define any untruthfulness in my evidence." Voting started Sept. 15 and ended Nov. 14. Some 5,000 sail- ors were eligible to vote. Some of the other officials elected included Rol Heinekey, 33, executive vice - president; Dan Swait, 36, Montreal, re elected secretary - treasurer; Roger Desjardins, 37, Montreal, vice - president for organiza- tion; John Royce, vice - presi- dent for upper Great Lakes re- gion and Bill Glasgow, vice- president lower lakes. Banks could look down on those he was dealing with. Mr. McLaughlin has replaced it with a long conference table. He sits at the head. He an- nounced he will cut his own sal- 7 to $16,000 a year from $20,- called, Mr. McLaughlin, who makes ra VOTE BRITTEN F. for Board of Education Good employee relationships are helped by sound well-administered Group Plans of life insurance, health coverages, and co-operative pensions.
