Opposition Leader Andrew Thompson, the. third 'Liberal Leader toface Premier John Robarts in his 344 years as head of the government, called it a patchwork of platitudes. New Democratic Party Leader Donald MacDonald had his own alliterative phrse--he termed it a tedious teaser. The major item in the 17-page document was an announcement that the government will set up a non-partisan committee to ad- tions Act and related legisla- tion. Some drivers who have had their licences suspended by the minister of transport will be able to appear before an appeal board which will be set up by government legislation. However, drivers who lose their licences on being con- victed of offences where sus- pension is mandatory, or those who are suspended from driv- ing by the courts, will have no appeal. : The only other surprise in the speech, read haltingly by Lieu- tenant - Governor Earl Rowe, was the announcement that the government plans to extend workmen's. compensation bene- fits to all agricultural workers. FEW COVERED At present only a_ limited number of farm workers are covered by the Workmen's Com- pensation Act. Tie speech said the change was decided on after a careful review by the govern- ment of problems particular to these workers. Charles Huffman, president of the Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture, said his organization would support the measure even if it means seeking assistance to help pay premiums Confederation. Presumably, it will act in a manner similar to a committee set up by the Quebec govern- ment two years ago to study that province's role in Confed- eration. GROUP ADVISORY Mr. Robarts said the group will advise the government on matters "'in relation to and aris- ing out of the position of On- tario in confederation." In addition, a select commit- tee of the Legislature will be set up to study the Corpora- MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED Brother "Safety" Money TORONTO (CP)--A Chicago) gamblers and was told that if policeman testified Wednesday ree rigger coma se 'or the he refused to lend money '|they would write off his debt. his brother last June even! yporacy was arrested here though he knew the brother|jast June after a number of rj Government press officers five. extracts: from the| then the honored traditions of|speech, varying in length from!

He said he refused to lend' the money because the accused already owed him $2,000 to $3,000. Const. Morask said he wanted his brother to go to po- lice with information against the gamblers. The trial continues. Cop Refused To Lend [United States from Mexico. hihe thought the cheques were] the speech either announced continuation of present policy or officially enunciated as govern- ment policy what had already been announced by various min- isters, As expected, the government announced it would introduce legislation to make privately-op- erated medical care plans versally available in the prov- ince. Private insurance carriers will be regulated by the new law. In a prepared statement is- suéd outside the House, Mr. Thompson said the speech was a dry and uninspiring document. In many areas, the government had not made its views known.

Mr. Pearson said he will write to provincial. premiers in the next day or two outlining the plan and asking whether they wish to join in the cere- monies.

Mr. Pearson made the an- nouncement after a two - hour cabinet meeting at which he and External. Affairs Minister liament. Mr. MacDonald said the honored traditions of Par- liament are demeaned by such practices. Noticeably absent from the speech was any reference to proposed changes in the prov- ince's liquor laws. It had been hinted that amendments to the Liquor Act would allow drink- ing with meals on Sunday and might extend beverage - room drinking hours.

The smuggling allegedly took place in October 1963, and other acts of smuggling occurred be- tween January 1963 and May 1964. : William Jackson, assistant U.S. attorney, assessed the value of the heroin at $56,000,- 000, if sold at illicit underworld prices: | In Houston, Woodrow Seals, jthe district attorney for the |Southern District of Texas, said the seizure of heroin was the largest single haul ever made at the Mexican border and the the third largest in U.S. his- tory. Jackson said the apprehen- sion of a Canadian truck driver, Joseph Michel Caron, with 76 pounds of heroin in October 1963 "tripped open" the indictment against the men. | Kennedy 'Feelings WASHINGTON (AP)--For the brothers Kennedy, Senators Robert F. of New York and Ed- ward M.
