George Burt, Canadian direc- tor of the UAW, said in a state- ment the strike resulted because management "persisted to the end in a completely unrealistic attitude towards its workers' }demands" and followed nearly four months of negotiations. EXPIRED LAST YEAR The a contract expired Dec. Mr. hex said the company had refused to improve pensions for workers already retired, and also rejected efforts to get it to pay the remaining half of medical - hospital - surgical care for its pensioners. "Both of these matters are part of the current UAW pat- tern im Canada," he added. He charged that the com- pany failed to meet the pattern of recent settlements that ended strikes. by UAW workers at Ford and General Motors of Canada. "Massey - Ferguson also fell short of pattern on group life insurance and on the amount and duration of sickness and accident benefits," said the UAW chief. SOUGHT RAISE The UAW sought a 59-cent-an- hour package increase in wages and benefits in a three-year contract and parity with farm implement and auto workers in the United States. A statement by D. W. H. Den- ton, the company's director of personnel and industrial rela- tions, issued before Thursday's session began, claimed an, offer it made last week was parallel to the settlements reached by the union with Ford and Gen- eral Motors. It said the proferred package deal exceeded all improvements given by Massey - Ferguson competitors in the U.S. and was better by 10 cents an hour than competitors' increases. Mr. Denton said employees' earnings have increased 12.3 per cent since 1961 to $2.54 from $2.27 an hour which, he said, was 50 cents an hour bet- ter than the. national average for manufacturing workers and 39 cents better than the Onta- 'Auction Case "Judgment -Is Deferred 4 AJA X(Staff) -- Magistrate Jermyn judg-| ~ here Thursday in a "very technical" iiiiby bylaw case until Tues- "Gay.

While he was re, a lamp, a sewing machine d a radio record player were 'guctioned off by the accused who did not hold an auctioneer's licerice in the Town of Whitby. Whitby Corporal Ernest Stone- man concurred with Correll, saying that he had attended with the previous witness and had observed Mendelson auc- tioning several items. A licenced auctioneer in the town of Whitby, Loyal Pogue, 206 High street, testified he had been paid to help out at the auction during December but had severed relations with the auctioneers at the end of the year. Whitby Clerk John R. Frost said that he had spoken to Men- delson about an auctioneer"s li- cence and had told him he would not qualify to obtain one be- cause he was not a resident of Ontario County. He had told Mr. Mendelson that Pogue was the local auctioneer. Defence Attornéy Hugh O'Con- nell argued that the Municipal Act did not give the Town of Whitby the power to stipulate residency in its auctioneer's by- law. BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE AJAX (Staff -- Five charges against three men, heard in Magistrate's Court here Thurs- day, arose out of a complaint about an auto on Ridgewood road, West Rouge. All three were found guilty. Malcolm Mahoney, of Toronto, charged with failing to notify the department of transport of the sale of a vehicle, was fined $10 and costs. Peter Cowan, 132 Ridgewood road, West Rouge, was fined $10 and costs on a charge of failing to notify the department of the purchase of a motor vehicle. Joseph Phillips, 179 Chester- ton Shore, Pickering, paid out- of-court fines for failing to no- tify the Dept. of the sale of a vehicle and driving without an operator's license and pleaded guilty to driving an uninsured vehicle and paid a fine of $50. Two Toronto youths pleaded guilty to five charges of theft over $50. Roderick W. Taylor, 17, plead- ed guilty to three theft charges and Daniel G. Graham, 19, stealing iron pallets from Fledco Concrete Pipe Ltd. on Monarch Ave. in Ajax.

The 72 pallets in their possession were valued at $838.89. The accused were selling the| pallets to a Toronto scrap iron| dealer.

(CP) Ontario will soon join the clan of provinces sporting their own tartans, an official! of the eco- nomics department announced Thursday. Mrs. Lilah Lymburner, man of 'the chair- women's advisory committee of the department, said the tartan will be unveiled in the near future, but did not give any details of the tartan's design or predominant color Seven of Canada's 10 prov- incés have their own tartans. British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec are the exceptions. Predominant colors of the province's tartans: Prince Ed- ward Island, brown; Newfound- land, light green; Nova Scotia, blue; New Brunswick, red; Manitoba, green; 'Saskat- chewan, yellow; Aiberta, green.

The acts were supposed to exorcise evil spirits that were causing the woman to have body odors. New Parolee 'Policy Likely HALIFAX (CP)--Justice Min- ister Favreau gave a strong in- dication here Thursday that the -| federal government soon will as- }sume responsibility for super- vising all prisoners released on parole. He gave it to the John How- ard Society of Nova Scotia in a|* speech discussing the role gov- ernment and: private agencies should play in the future in su- pervising parolees and in pro- viding fo. their after care. Mr. Favreau said that at the present time about 60° per cent of prisoser: released on parole are supervised by the John Howard Society and other pri- vate agcuicies He said private agencies had proved the value of parole su- pervision and asked whether the time had not come to turn this responsibility over to offi- cers of his department. Such a step would enable the private agencies "to concentrate on their characteristic function of redeeming individuals who seek their aid voluntarily." WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Johnson and Soviet lead- ers have yet to work out the de- tails of their tentative and in- formal agreement to exchange visits this year. Officials said today there has been no understanding so far on timing or extent of the pro- iposed trips--when and where Johnson would go in Russia or how broadly and at what time Soviet leaders would tour the United States. Johnson got word through dip- lomatic channe!s early this week that the Soviet leaders hoped he would visit Russia and were interested in his sugges- tion that they visit the United States, It was understood that the So- viet embassy relayed the Soviet attitude to the state department Monday. . Johnson's original proposal for the Soviets to visit and tour the United States and appear on television was made in_ his State - of - the - Union mes- sage Jan. 4. RECEIVED RESPONSE He received a positive re- U.S.-Soviet Visit Details Are Yet To Be Arranged sponse last Sunday when the Russian Communist party newspaper Pravda carried an article saying: Johnson's state- ment had received a '"'positive response" in the Soviet Union. said in a speech Wed- nesday night that he had "'rea- son to believe" he would be wel- comed to the Soviet Union and he hoped that an exchange of visits would come about this year. Thursday, the Soviet govern- ment newspaper Izvestia told its readers about Johnson's hopes for the exchange of visits this year. Publication of John- son's remarks on the front page of the newspaper indicated of- ficial government sanction for the hope. Moscow sources indicated that neither of the visits would be made before summer. MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Sum- mit contacts between American and Soviet leaders could help deal with "immediate prob- lems" of U.S.-Russian relations as well as world issues, a Soviet newspaper said today. By DeGaulle By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff. Writer Once again, Charies de Gaulle has jotted world diplomacy to the bottom of its striped pants. The bombshell this time is the French president's suggestion the world's five nuclear powers sit down at Geneva and talk about how to restore the equili- brium of the United Nations. What he is proposing is Wash- ington and Peking take part in negotiations on the power struc- ture of the UN--and this at a time when the United States won't even concede Peking's right to a seat and the Chinese are insisting they aren't inter- ested in one. De Gaulle also suggests the nuclear powers decide how the UN should be run while the other 110 members sit outside in the cold, waiting and wonder- ing. HIDDEN. MOTIVES? On the face of it, the audacity of the idea tops anything. that has come out of Paris since Na- poleon decided to take on the Russians. But with de Gaulle, as with icebergs, a good deal lies below the surface. In this case, the sub-surface motivations already are the sub- ject of intense speculation at the UN itself. It is conceded de Gaulle is | powers Diplomats Jolted Again Suggestion both Peking and Washington; that he doesn't expect quick ac- eeptance of his proposal any more than he did in the case of his 1963 idea of neutralizing Southeast Asia. Rather, the president is seen as talking about the shape of things to come--and possibly shaking up international pat- terns that appear to him to be hardening in an unsatisfactory way. Moscow News, an official Eng- lish-language weekly said So- viet - American summit talks "would certainly provide an op- portunity not only of exchang- ing opinions on the major issues of our time, but also on im- mediate ._problems of Soviet - American relations." Moscow. News did not define what the immediate bilateral problems were. DOUBLE WARNING De Gaulle's proposal seemed so some at the UN to be a sort of double-barrelled warning. First he was telling the UN it couldn't expect' much French support until the restoration -of big-power supremacy in peace- keeping operations. Second, he was saying the big can't settle anything among themselves--such as dis- armament -- until Peking and Paris are given a full say. De Gaulle doesn't like to see prob- lems settled over his head by fully a aware of the. attitudes Bis Washington and Moscow.

Cochrane, White River: --lreal of 140 F-104 jets for the tactical LONDON (CP)--The Conserv- atives have retained three par- liamentary seats in byelections but returns show some comfort for Prime Minister Harold Wil- son's Labor government, The Tories held the sduthern constituencies 'of Salisbury and East Grinstead and the north- ern riding of Altrincham-Sale in Thursday's three byelections. The Tory victories had been expected in the so - called safe seats but a significant outcome in two of the contests was a set- back for Jo Grimond's Liber- als, who made big strides in last October's general election. The swing against Labor was much less than in two byelec- tions last month, the first test for Prime Minister Wilson's La- bor government when Patrick Gordon Walker was defeated in a sensational upset at Leyton and subsequently resigned as foreign secretary. MIXED GAINS Labor's share of the vote de- clined in East Grinstead, pros- perous Sussex commuting area, but shaded upward in Salisbury, Wiltshire, a mostly rural con- stituency. lisbury indicated a 14-per-cent swing from Tories to Labor, compared with the Altrincham- Sale result, which showed a swing of just over one per cent to the Conservatives, The outcome in Altrincham- Sale, Salisbury and East Grin- stead came as no surprise, since/f the Conservatives won those dis- tricts in the October general election. The vacancies were created by elevation of Con- servative incumbents in the House of Lords. Compared with the January polling, Wilson's candidates Thursday came close to main- taining their party's support. But the Liberals lost ground in two of Thursday's byelections, East Grinstead being the ex- ception, as well as in both of January's contests. The Tories, as one observer put it, faced the fact that their victories were comforta- ble rather than triumphant and showed no sign of the spectac- ular revival that had been hoped for by party leaders.

A cost-accounting of one of these so-called liabilities was recently made and shows author- ities said Thursday, that in 1961 Prime Minister Diefenbaker's government was no match for|; the U.S. Kennedy administration], when it came to horse-trading. At that time, the U.S. pro- vided Canada free with 66 Voo- doo jet interceptors, worth about $100,000,000 in return for); Canada taking over financial] responsibility for 16 radar sta- tions in this country then oper- ated by the U.S. These radars have cost Can- ada $181,000.000 to man and operate in the last 34 years, officials said, and they will likely continue in operation for several more years, apart from the two closed down last year. However, there was a side dish to the main Voodoo-radar Defence Debts Blamed On PCs phases of this 196i deal, Cana- dian expenditures will likely surpass those of the U.S. in 1967. American outlays ceased last year but Canada's will con- tinue for years yet. In 1957, the Liberals were apparently so confident of re- election that they left a $240,- 000,000 nest-egg in a _ special defence department account. The new Conservative fi- nance minister, Donald Flem- ing, promptly used nearly all of -- $237,000,000 --'to carve a rae' slice out of his 1958-59 deficit. There were only pen- nies left in this account when the -- returned to power in 1 Tories Keep Seats Labor Makes Gains days" -- had. sent Tory hopes soaring, especially the defeat of Gordon Walker. With three seats vacant in the 630-seat House of Commons, the government now has an over-all majority of only four. Dates have yet to be fixed for the remaining byelections, ~ two in Conservative-held seats and onc in a gov stronghold. If the contests in the Conserv- ative seats come first, as ex- pected, the government may be faced with'a temporary over-alf majority of only two at a time when some of its most con- troversial legislation -- such as nationalization of the steel in- dustry--is coming before Parlia- ment. Standing in the 630-seat House now is Labor 315, Conserva- tives 302, Liberals 9, speaker one, vacant three. Conservative Michael Hamil- ton won the Salisbury seat with a 3,393-vote margin over his La- bor party opponent. At East Grinstead, Geoffrey J. Smith kept the seat for the Conservatives with a margin of 10,617 votes over the Liberal candidate. Labor ran third, The Conservatives retained Altrincham - Sale when former health minister Anthony Barber swept in with slightly less than 50 per cent of the vote, repre- senting a 1.1 per cent swing from Labor to Tory. In Salsbury, Hamilton re- ceived 17,599 votes; Leif Mills, Labor, 13,660; Hugh Capstick, Liberal, 4,699, and Maj. Trevor Cox, independent, 553. Barber, 44, one of the Tory "bright young men," got 20,380 votes compared with 11,837 for Labor's Roy Roebuck, a jour- nalist; 7,898 for Liberal Donald Burden, a lawyer, and 634 for Independent Democratic Oliver Symes.

The present government also got caught short when it re- turned to office and found that the Conservatives hadn't put the required $76,500,000 into the armed forces' pension account in 1963.
