Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1966 PAGE 4 bors | RCMP Beaten To Draw 'Outlining Good Program Harsh criticism of the RCMP levelled by Quebec's leading crime fighter,, Claude Wagner, came quickly at~the conclusion of the federal- provincial conference on combatting organized crime. This was unfortunate. It had the effect of putting the RCMP on the defen- sive, detractiig from the compre- sensive program being developed-- when they got around to outlining it. Yet, that the RCMP would be beaten to the draw when it came to explaining itself to the Canadian public could be expected. The force continues to delude itself that we can still: be satisfied with the pic- ture of Nelson Eddy garbed in a searlet tunic riding off into the sun- set as the image of the mounted po- lice. Canadians still want to. be- lieve their Mounties will "do the right thing" but today they also want to know as much as they can about how the Mounties intend to do it ! As it turns out the RCMP is gird- ing for a concerted attack on crime with the all-out-co-operation of mu- nicipal forces and the provincial Information The assistance of Oshawa citizens at present is being solicited in pro- grams both from the past and for the future. In the past week ap- peals have been made by the com- mittee pressing for the establish- ment of a community college here and by the Centennial planners of the Historical Society.

The RCMP telecommunications network will be extended; a national wirephoto service is contemplated; a national stolen car ureau is anticipated; a Canadian police college for special- ized instruction of all forces will be established; criminal intelligence units will be greatly expanded. Highly significant in light of the criticism from Quebec is the aware- ness displayed by the RCMP of the importance of being a_ bilingual force. Commissioner George Mc- Clellan has stated "for some years the RCMP has been moving toward a more completely bilingual opera- tion". Such steps are being accel- erated. . The plans outlined reinforces opinion that the RCMP is indeed intent on keeping up 'with the times. It is vital to its work and the peace and security of the country as a whole that it does. For, despite the rivalry roused by Quebec, the RCMP remains the logical central body to co-ordinate the war. on crime in Canada, Please have asked for the help of all their fellow-residents in preparing the city's history in complete detail. The society is interested in old doc- uments, descriptive letters written in years gone by, old family diaries, programs from social events and entertainment years ago, They say even theatre ticket stubs and old bills of sale can be of immense value in piecing together the story of Oshawa's yesteryears. Pushing into the future, the com- mittee seeking a community college for Oshawa requests written evi- dence of wide public support which can be included in a brief to the edu. cation department. The city has a strong case as a site for a college based on population and its position in the prime purposes of such an in- stitution. Demonstration of 4 strong community interest in ob- taining it will further bolster the presentation. Letters have been requested from municipaf councils and agencies, organizations and large-scale em- ployers in the area: The commu- nity college committee has also stressed that written comment from individual citizens urging loca- tion of the college here will be wel- comed. Letters sent in care of city hall should reach the committee. eiiait LAEAYV ES REPORT Jokers Cool Ardor For Lagos Junket By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The role of for- eign correspondent for a large- circulation newspaper is the plum sought by journalists the world over. It conjures up the picture of men like Rene Mac- Coll, of England's Daily Ex- press, and Ernest Hemingway, formerly of the Toronto Star, meeting glamorous people in exotic cities and enjoying ex- pence-account living. Some members of the Ottawa Press Gallery enjoy occasional tastes of this, when their news- papers want on-the-spot cover- age of a distant conference in which top Canadians are partic- ipating. Round-the-world with Prime Minister St. Laurent, to Cyprus with Defence Minister Paul Hellyer and reporting the NATO conferenc in Paris and Place Pigalle are examples which leap to mind, One such occasion is obviously this week's: emergency confer- ence at Lagos, Nigeria, at which Commonwealth prime ministers are discussing the Rhodesian crisis. SEEMED INVITING With snow in Ottawa's air and the mercury hitting five below, Nigeria seemed lush and wel- comely warm, even if that west coast of Africa was once known as The White Man's Grave. Be- sides, a little action would be welcome. Parliament has not been sitting since June, and Parliament Hill has been like a ghost town. True, there have been some federal - provincial conferences, but this new-style government under. co-operative federalism is as secret as the Kremlin: The doors are locked against the press, and the only unsealed lips are those which treacher- ously want to grind their own, axe The prime minister was char- tering an Air Canada DC-8 air- liner for the return trip to Nigeria, it was announced. But the Press Gallery's clamour for its many empty seats dimin- ished a little when it became known that the price of such seats was $825. This is equiva- lent to the cost of the economy class round trip by scheduled commercial flights, and every- one knows that a filled charter flight should reduce that price considerably: the government ought to make a profit on that trip. However, despite the cost, a number of journalists were still eager to go and their newspa- pers or broadcasting stations willing to pay the freight. They went through the painful and sometimes sick-making precau- tionary medical needles, More gilt came off the Lagos gingerbread when it became known that hotel accommoda- tion in Lagos would be stretched to capacity by the big interna- tional conferefice, so a tented camp would be set up to ac commodate the press. NOTICE POSTED Then a sobering notice from the prime minister's office ap- peared on the Press Gallery bulletin board: "In order to avoid vaccine fever following shots for yellow fever, TATB and malaria, the health clinic recommends that correspondents return to the clinic for an anti-vaccine: shot." Shortly after, another notice was posted: "Thanks to improved arrange- ments, it will not be necessary to accommodate correspondents in tents at Lagos. Accommoda- tion has been arranged at Kokoroko, a native village situ- ated eight miles from Lagos. The health ciinic is holding for distribution a supply of sleeping pills, as native dances often last well into the night." Brave foreign correspondents! \Bleeding from many needles, and kept sleepless by the tom- toms! Then suddenly the qualms of those Lagos - bound envied few were set at rest. The two notices were not bona. fide memos from the prime minis- ter's office: They were leg-pulls from mischievous fellow-jour- nalists who were to be left behind. Respectability Returns To Word 'Businessman' By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- The word "businessman": is becoming re- spectable in the Soviet Union Long regarded with distaste because of its association with capitalist enterprise, the word is coming into its own under the government's new-look eco- nomic policies. Its rehabilitation was' strik- ingly reflected recently in state- ments made by Vsevolod Stele- tov, minister of high and sec- ondary education for the Rus- sian Federation, biggest and most populous of the U.S.S.R republics "Now as never hefore we need businessmen, Soviet business- men--specialists of high quality : those who can organize economically profitable activity of an enterprise," said Stoletov. "We need initiative, brave businessmen," he added, sound- ing like some sales promoter or Junior Chamber of Commerce speaker in Canada. NEED CHANGE Stoletoy, interviewed by a Moscow newspaper, was asked whether it was not time to, "re store to civil rights" 'the word businessman, "Probably,"' he replied. 'For many years it had a negative It was connected with the capitalist way of production. Only recently, an economic ex- ecutive would be offended if h were called a businessman. "Now, vidently the attitude to this notion--as to profit and some. other things--is chang- ing." Under a program adopted by the government last September, profit is supposed to become the chief index of a factory's oper- ating efficiency. Individual fac- tory managers are freed of some of the centralized control previously imposed on them and given. more scope to pro- duce according to the demands of the consumer market The changes are designed to stimulate and diversify a slug- gish Soviet economy. TRAIN MORE ECONOMISTS In the Russian Federation, 6,000 students are expected to enter economics institutes this year compared with. 5,200 in 1965 and 3,700 in 1964. Planners are at work revising study pro- grams at these institutes to take account of the new philosophy. "The main aim is to improve the training, raise the role and significance of an economist to create for him the position and authority he deserves," says the minister. sense Time races fast and it isn't too early to talk about Oshawa's Centennial Year plans which, as of now, are practically non- existent.

He justly deserved the title ,Oshawa's Father of Town Planning' (which he also ab- horred) for his long-range vision and detailed piaining at a time of unrest chaos could have resulted. He has left some indelible trademarks of his career of service behind, such as the widespread Green Belt, which---will- allow. for what Mr, Millman calls "the orderly in- vasion of this outer-perimeter in regards to services and plan- ning" Such comments seem timely in view of the fact that Mr. Millman has. quietly retired from the municipal service as a member of the City Planning Board, which he served so long and well. He willbe missed, but it was nice to see that the City took advantage of the occasion to re- cently present him with a cheque for. $1,500 as a token of appreciation for services ren- dered.

In 1819 he led a party of hardy men on a 5500-mile jour- ney from Hudson's Bay to Cop- permine River, then down to the Arctic coast, and east again to Hudson's Bay. On January 18, 1820, he was at Cumber- land House, a post of the Hud- son's Ba, Company It was this trip that made him confident that there was a northwest passage, and in his complete diary he wrofe that he had not seen any ice that would stop a strong boat.

Finally in 1845 Franklin was given two ships, Brebus and Terror, to discover the north- west passage. They were last seen in Lancaster Sound on July 26, 1845. When his expedi- tion was known to have been missing, 40 search parties were sent out over the years to try to learn what had happened. In 1854 the remains of part of his expedition 'of 129 men were found on King William Island. Five years later a cairn was found at Point Victory by an expedition sent out by Lady Franklin, It contained records proving his. discovery of the northwest passage, and the date of his death. Lady Franklin herself tried to find her hus- band by attempting to go up the Fraser River. Her trip was a failure. The official discoverer of the northwest passage was Captain McClure of the Royal Navy in 1850, when he was searching for Franklin.

WASHINGTON CALLING Modern Arms Merchant Operates Along Potomac. By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special): -- Just across the Potomac within range of the Capitol dome, sits the thriving arms store where Quebec bandits used to go to buy 20 millimetre anti-tank guns with which they blasted open bank vaults Potomac Arms Co, has now stopped selling these guns be- cause of the publicity that re- sulted when a gang took $416,- 000 from a Brinks vault in Syracuse, New York. Also, they're sold out. The last of a consignment of 99 was sold sev- eral months ago. But Potomac's big brother, the giant Interarmco is_ still ready to equip an army or a small airforce at the drop of a cheque. itsramshackle warehouses, across the street from Potomac Arms, its retail outlet, are re- puted to contain more smal arms than the British Army could find in its arsenals. - GOVERNMENT SALES It has sold rifles to the Ken- yans to fight off the Mau Mau rebellion, machine guns aban- doned by the Germans in World War Two to the new German Army, British rifles back to the British Army, Swedish jet fight- ers to the formr Dominican Dictator Raphael Trujillo, guns to Castro and Batista at the same time. 3 Its president, Samuel Cum- mings, an ex-agent of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, who lives in Monte Carlo, is one of the world's biggest private arms-peddlers. Interarmco tries fo laugh off the epithet applied to predeces- sors such as Sir Basil Zaharoff by calling itself "your friendly neighborhood merchant of death". é But Cummings is a smalltime operator compared to the world's. greatest | gun-runner, who livés in the Pentagon, a few miles down the road. He is Henry J. Kuss, deputy U.S, As- sistant Secretary of Defence for International Logistics Negotia- tions. Kuss has increased sales of U.S. weapons abroad from $300 million in 1961 to one point three billion in the 1965 financial year and hopes to rake in'15 billion in 10 years. OFFSET EXPENSES The defence department is trying to offset its own huge ex penditure (up to 60 billion dol- lars next year) and help the U.S. balance of payments posi- tion by bringing more dollars back into the country. Defence Secretary Robert Mc- Namara claims the sales "en- hance the mutual defence pos- ture of the free world.' Which, being interpreted, means more countries have more weapons to uSe against the Communists. But to make sure the weap- ons will be pointed in the right direction, the U.S. Department of State examines each sale for diplomatic implications. While the Pentagon is mainly interest- ed in recovering money, the State Department sees the arms trade as an instrument of policy. a Countries which don't behave are cut off from the arsenal. Before selling to another gov- ernment, the U.S. extracts a promise that the weapons will 'not-be-resold-to-a-third power at least not to an unfriendly one~ Canada, for example, would not be allowed to pass on weap- ons to Cuba or China even if we had the slightest intention of doing so. Canada has a similar policy towards Canadian weap- ons exported to the United States. These should not be re- shipped to "trouble areas!' such as th Middle East or India- Pakistan. REFUSED EXPORT Last month Canada refused to export parts for the new De- Havilland Buffalo transport air- craft directly to U.S. forces in Viet Nam but is happy to sell to U.S. forces in America. These weapons are then shipped to Viet Nam by the United States. _ Pious policies and good inten- tions seldom work out in the international arms trade. Gov- ernments change and topple, generals stage coups and mobs make revolutions. So many of the U.S. weapons now used against U.S. troups in South Viet Nam were not even. cap- tured by the Viet Cong guer- rillas -- they were given by the U.S. to Ho Chi Minh's forces QUEEN'S PARK Province To Assist _ Indians BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--As you will have noticed a new program is being launched to assist Indians, The key point in the program is that Indians wil) now come under the one jurisdiction the province. After years of divided re- sponsibility, which meant no- body could do a good job it has been agreed that the province should take over the adminis- pat responsibility for all In- ans, And a concentrated drive to improve the situation of our In- dians--particularly the northern Indians--is to be undertaken, with the federal government sharing the cost, The handing over of responsi- bility to the province is the key point in this program, EFFORT WAS SPLIT Efforts to date have been divided. The province has had responsibility for a portion of the Indian population. And the federal government, through the Indian Affairs Branch, has had sole responsibility for others mainly reserve Indians, This has meant neither has been able to launch a really effective improvement program, The province has been the logical 'administrative agency. The problem: or concerns with Indians have been matters of provincial responsibility : Education, health, etc, And it has had the machinery and the trained personnel equipped to attack the situation. _ But there has been the tradi- tion. of federal responsibility for Indians. And even though Ot- tawa has not had the organiza- tion to meet the problems of the modern day, and in practical terms couldn't afford to estab- lish them, the tradition has been hard to break away from. The province has' uged for some time now that administra- tive responsibility should be centralized in its hands. HAD PROGRAMS It has had active programs which have been somewhat ef- fective in their way but which could only be a partial approach to meeting the overall problem of the poor estate of many In- dians in the province, And finally common sense has won through. The province will develop and administer a program--working through a federal - provincial committee. Nobody--here or in Ottawa or on the reserves--has any ex- pectation that this is revolutionize the life of mais overnight. We probably never will see the day which some crusader seem to want where every In- dian will have a hair-dryer and be saving towards a Cadillac-- thank goodness, But the way has now been opened for a thoughtful under- standing approach whereby the Indians may be helped to achieve whatever better state of life they may want 'for them- selves. (And let us hope they have the good sense, which they have shown in thhe past, not to pattern it too closely after ours). POINTED PARAGRAPHS You can't teach an old dog new tricks, and it's hard to get him to do the old ones, because he thinks they're silly. housing Almost any person will tell you he doesn't want to live forever, but he always wants to_liye tomorrow. An editor says people are fonder of their homes now than ever before. It must be true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, ? It's a mistake to call a slot machine a one-armed bandit, as it will never take anything from you if you'll let it alone, ric elclieti SE while they were fighting the Japanese. It is not possible for long to keep weapons in the hands of the 'right'? people and down- right silly to try to keep them out of "trouble spots' becatise those are the places where peo- .ple want to use them. Mr. Kuss, through firms like Interarmco, is selling increas- ingly bigger and more modern weapons. Despite year's of inter- national disarmament talks, the U.S. and the Soviet Union have not been able to agree even on a token step such as a "bomber bonfire' in which obsolete but still massive' and deadly air- craft would be destroyed to pre- vent their falling into the hands of aggressive small nations. ~ DON'T Served Daily 11:30 - Che Rih Room NOW OPEN SUNDAY 4 TO 7:30 P.M.
