Wilson's announcement Fri- day night of a joint British- Canadian - Australian aid pro- gram caught officials at Can- ada House and the Australian high commission by surprise. Canadian and Australian offi- cials were seeking clarification of details from their own gov- ernments and the British dur- ing the weekend before arrang- ing a joint meeting for the coming week. Wilson got agreement in prin- ciple in personal telephone calls Friday to prime ministers Pearson in Ottawa and Sir Rob- ert Menzies in Canberra. Urged High Commissioner Lionel Chevrier of Canada appeared briefly on BBC television Sat- urday night and said that he believes humanitarian consid- erations need not conflict with attempts to bring down the rebel white-minority regime in Rhodesia, one of the African countries suffering severely from drought. The drought, which has caused famine in some areas and has killed off livestock and crops, extends from South Africa through Bechuanaland, Basutoland, and Rhodesia into Zambia, and has also hit Kenya.

The Papineau teachers have decided not to report to school today but there is a possibility negotiations will get under way Wednesday.

OTTAWA (CP)--The federal government was urged today to include psychiatric care in the coverage provided by the exist- ing hospital insurance program and the proposed medical insur- ance program, In the keynote address at the annual meeting of the Canadian Psychiatric Association Dr. Charles A. Roberts of Toronto said "all discrimination against the mentally ill" should be removed from federal laws. ' "Such action would have an impact out of all proportion to the federal funds involved" he said. "It would surely give leader- Priest Stresses New Relationship TORONTO (CP) -- A new relationship between Roman established in Canada, says Rey. J. J.

Dr. Roberts is an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. The text of his address was released to the press in advance. He jwas. particularly critical of the exclusion of the treat- ment of mental illness from benefits of the Federal Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Ser- vices Act. . MAKES CASE The act was primarily de- signed to provide adequate hos- -| pital services for all Canadians and if this objective was con- sidered seriously 'there could be no greater case for the in- clusion of mental hospitals un- der this program.

He said the age-old bogey- man of viewing mental illness in a different light from organic illness still exists. "The major changes which appear to be desirable partic- ularly in relation to the provi- sion of patient care are being impeded and delayed by many existing attitudes towards men- tal illness. "It would appear that much more will have to be done to change the attitudes of those re- sponsible for major legislation and administration."

Ltd. and striking members of Local 9-593, Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Union (CLC), a joint union- company announcement said Sunday i 2 The agreement, if approved by a membership meeting Wed- nesday, would end a strike that started Sept. 15 by about 375 workers at B-A's refinery in nearby Clarkson, the announce- ment said. Supervisory personnel have kept the refinery in production. Robert Kirk, union publicity chairman, said agreement was reached on what he called the "issue of maintenance of rates for employees demoted through technological changes intro- duced during the strike." Oil Delivered To Zambia Zone LUSAKA (CP)--Fit.-Lt. Ken Ruel of La Tuque, Que., andi. his Hercules transport crew flew the thunderstorm route Saturday from _ Leopoldville, The Congo, to this Zambian capital to deliver another 108 drums of oil. The RCAF now is carrying more oil daily to Zambia than are British and United States planes combined. "You Canadians are showing us up with your Hercules planes," an RAF officer said as three RCAF planes landed in 100-degree temperature. Ruel and Fit.-Lt. Ken John- son of Toronto, first officer, dodged two major thunder- storms, one of them 50 miles long and 30 miles thick on the 4%-hour flight to Lusaka from Leopoldville. Through his radarscope, FO George Story of Regina was able to spot the storms about 200 miles ahead of the plane. "Thunderstorms nowhere are bigger or more dangerous than in Central Africa," Ruel said. It has been known for a plane's wing to break off in the terrible stress of flying through such a storm which sends thun- derheads more than 50,000 feet into the sky. The RCAF crews work one day on and one off but a work day lasts at least 14 hours, in- cluding about nine hours in the This would be done 'by the payment of a lump sum equal to the difference of rates of pay multiplied by the regular hours that would be worked until Dec 31 1966,"' he said. CITES EXAMPLE Mr, Kirk gave as the case of a worker through demotion being reduced in pay by 20 cents an hour. If the man worked 2,000 hours between now and the end-of the year he would receive a lump payment of $400. Mr. Kirk said chiefissues in the union's dispute with B-A were job security in the face of automation and wages on earlier when the company and union negotiators settled on a 35-cent-an-hour increase in a two-year contract retroactive to April 15, 1965, he said.
