16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Februery 14, "1966 Rumblings Of Discontent. On: Liberal Back Benches By MICHAEL GILLAN OTTAWA (CP)--The Pearson overnment's lack of. a major- ty in the Commons has pro- duced some grumbling among back-bench Liberals about or- anization in the prime min- Eter's office and some open criticism of the party itself. They say the prime minister now is relying more heavily on the civil service bureaucracy for advice, and less on the profes- sional politicians. With the move of Tom Kent, his former policy secretary, to the deputy minister's post in the immigration department, Mr. Pearson, a former civil servant, now gets his political advice mainly from his cabinet. And a handful of MPs are con- cerned that the ministers closest to him are those who were min- isters or high civil servants in the former St. Laurent and King administrations. They think the government is embarking on a Barnum 'n' Bailey World For 'New Julie Andrews' By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- What happens to Cinderella after the balls over In the case of Les- ley Ann Warren, nothings Lesley, 19, reports that the benefts to her career from star- ring in the Rodgers and Ham- merstein version of Cinderela were nil, In dact, the television special may have held her back. Now, a year after the CBS- TV musical, she is beginning to realize her professonal prom- se. No thanks to Cinderella, it might be added. She recently finished a four- parter on Dr. Kildare. When I caught up with her, she was portraying a frontier gal on Gunsmoke. Next for her: The feminine lead in The Happiest Million- aire, Walt Disney's first musi- eal since Mary Poppins. NO OFFERS CAME At the time the Cinderela spe- tial was taped in Hollywood, she was appearing on the road company of 110 in the Shade. So she wouldn't have been able to accept any offers if there were any, which there weren't. Returning to. New York, she won a role in a play with John Payne, Sign of Affection. It closed in Philadelphia. She signed on with a television se- ries called For the People. It} perished after 13 weeks. Next she appeared in Broadway musical Drat the Cat. It suffered a quick demise.

TOO LITTLE AD These MPs, naturally stress- ing the importance of their own role, argue that the troubles the Liberal government got into dur- ing the last Parliament were not because Mr.. Pearson received too much political advice but because he got too little. The prime minister attended, and still does, the weekly ses- sions of the caucus of party MPs and senators, But inform- ants say these sessions seldom dealt with impending issues. In- stead, the MPs were often caught by surprise when an is- sue or piece of legislation landed on the Commons floor. They say the prime minister needs regular advice from a person or group who can give a concensus of caucus, which is a reflection of the opinions and feeling of the public, Some MPs say the prime min- ister needs an improved press relations office, arguing that a major Liberal failure before and during the last election cam- paigny was to get across effectiv- ely to the people the list of gov- ernment accomplishments. USED CRITICAL WORDS In Toronto last Tuesday, Health Minister MacEachen had some critical words for the party itself, and ne did not ex- clude himself. "I hope that the election ex- perience will serve to dethrone the polls as a guide to public opinion," he told the Toronto Liberal Businessmen's Club. | "Political parties, in Canada and elsewhere, are coming dan- gerously close to the' point where a survey or a public opin- lion poll is prerequisite to every major decision." | Parties have a tendency to lean too heavily on public opin- ion surveys "instead of deciding what is beneficial to the country and in the best interests of the public generally." Australia. Strong Legs Carried Kip | From Mud Hut To Luxury- By GORDON TAIT NEW YORK (AP)---Kipchoge Keino was born in a mud hut in a village called Kapchem- ciywo, almost on the equator in Kenya. Today Kipchoge -- he pro- nounces it Kipchokey .nd his friends call him Kip -- travels the world by jet airliner, stays in air-conditioned hotels, and talks of visits to the U.S., Eu- rope, South America, Japan and When Keino is on the ground he usually runs--fast enough to have set world records of 7:39.6 in the 3,000 metres and 13:24.2 at 5,000 metres. He is close to the record for the mile and the 1,500 metres. He has a mile time of 3:54.2, only six-tenths of a second off the world record. His first ventures at indoor running, during his recent trip to the United States, were less than completely successful, But he learned. STRIDE TOO LONG 'My stride is too long for the sharp curves," he said. "I have to learn to shorten my stride, run into the turns and not up on them." He ran only three races in the U.S., two-on the same night in Los Angeles. He was edged in the mile by Jim Greele, who finished in 4:00.9. Keino was} second at 4:01.8. He came back] one hour later, however, and} won the two-mile in 8:42.6, In New York he captured the famed Wanamaker mile in 4:03.9, a disappointing time for} a crowd that was looking for a| sub-four-minute effort, | He was forced to pull out of a tentative engagement in Boston and return to Kenya, but he's coming back to the U.S. later in the indoor season, at least for in 4-5. And what does he want to do in the future -- this smiling African who thinks he was born some time in January, 1940, but is not really sure. WANTS TO RUN FASTER "I just want to run faster," he said in English, "Perhaps it will be 10,000 me- tres, perhaps 1,500 metres and the mile, perhaps all distances etween. I want to improve all my times." Keino's running etyle is marked by giant, relaxed strides. Before a race, he strips from a scarlet track suit to a green singlet, white track shorts, blue running shoes, and, unusual for all but marathon runners, a peaked cap -- orange in color. With a lap or two to go, he reaches up, grabs the cap and throws it aside as a victory symbol and then seems to leap ahead as he heads for the tape. Keino is 5-foot-9-inches tall and wighs 145 pounds. He has a short clipped moustache and short, curly black hair. IS POLICE INSTRUCTOR At home, Keino is a physical training instructor with the Ke- nya police force. He is married and has a two-year-old daugh- ter He says He trains three times a week--Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays--by running 'a slow three miles and then a fast three miles in the morning and some quarter-mile dashes in the afternoon. Other-days he is too busy, "but my work keeps me in good condition." He has his sights set on the 1966 British Commonwealth Games in Jamaica and on the 1968 Olympic Games. "After 1968 I might contem- plate retiring, but you cannot Albuquerque. N.M., March the national AAU championships say," he said.

The talk is of making a killing, or at least a lot of money. Not heard so often are stories of those who lost their shirts when the bottom fell out of a stock. FEVER RUNS HIGH Speculative fever is reflected on the Vancouver Stock Ex- change where trading, mostly in mining shares, exceeded 300,- 000,000 for the first time in 1965. The total value of turnover was more than $300,000,000. Tom Elliott, manager of the B.C. Yukon Chamber of Mines, a clearing house of mining in- formation, says the B.C. public has never displayed such inter- est in mining. The market boom, which is expected to continue throughout the-year despite urgings of cau- tion from some officials, is an integral part of the surge that has hit British Columbia and the Yukon and Northwest Terri- tories mining in recent years. As in the old Klondyke days, the boom is accompanied by a rush of fortune-hunters from the eastern side of the Rockies. They range from big corpora- tions to sleazy promoters. While authorities warn small speculators to study up on a stock before they plunge and to use only money they can spare, others say too much restriction will dry up the market.

Some of the mi- grants are not considered de- sirable by those in the mining industry. "But you have to have pro- motion."" the broker said. Mr. Elliott says most of the major mines in the provin have been discovered by s companies or individuals, though eventually most wind up inthe hands of major mining companies, Big discoveries have been made by small outfits because they are venturesome and in- clined to gamble, he says, and he looks on market speculation as healthy, provided there are controls. "Mining is a game of chance," he says. "I think the public is ready to take the gamble. But they are entitled to all the pro- tection they can get." That way, the little company gets enough money to work a property that eventually would become a.

RECALLS BUCHAN Janet Adam Smith, the lively, grey-haired biographer of John Buchan, launched into an en- thusiastie recollection of Her researches in Canada for Buch- an's period as governor-general, 1935-40. "The Canadians seem to have taken to Lord Tweedsmuir as to no other British governor- general. I think it was because he was so interested in them and in the country. He had this vor- acious interest in everything he touched." Miss Adam Smith, in private life the wife of Westminster School headmaster John Carle ton, first met Buchan when she was an undergraduate at 'Ox- ford. She liked him at once, but found his extraordinary gift for ease rather daunt- g. "He might be having tea with you at four-thirty and suddenly get up at five-fifteen and say 'It's been nice seeing you, but I have an appointment with the prime minister at five-thirty'-- and he'd just go. Of course this was what enabled him to pro- duce .his fantastic output of books as well as carry on his parliamentary career, but it made you feel sometimes that if you were only worth 45 min- utes of his time you couldn't count for much with him. "On the other hand he went immense trouble to help young people get started with whatever they wanted to do in life." BEST-SELLING BOTANIST Almost submerged in the throng of fashionable novelists and somewhat startled to find himself a literary figure was a small, stooped old clergyman from Devonshire, Rev. W. Keble Martin, who has spent 60 of his 88 years compiling an encyclo- pedia of British wild flowers. To his amazement, The Concise British Flora in Color leaped into thé best-seller lists on pub- lication last May and has stayed there ever since, selling more than 100,000 copies.

With this news last week came a suggestion from Toronto apartment developers that the tighter money policy now being followed as a hedge against po- tential inflationary pressures is responsible. Figures compiled for January by the Southern Building Guide show the dollar volume of new construction contracts totalled $373,565,800, down 244 per cent from January, 1965. Although the fall-off is slight, some construction officials say it could be significant that only two of the five general geo- graphic regions and one of the five construction categories used by the Building Guide managed a gain, If the trend continues for long, | they suggest, it could mean the| industry will face a cooling-out period this year SHORTAGES HIT COSTS | One economist noted, how- ever, that a small decline in ai tion industry has been operat: \ing at capacity for some time jand labor and material short- lages it hae faced have heen an important factor in cost pres- sures, The sharpest drop regionally occurred in Ontario, where new contracts in January fell to $161,649,000 from $193,696,000 a year ago. The increase in the province's sales tax to five per cent from three, announced in the budget, is expected to cause some further decline.

In Toronto, Herbert I. Stritcher chairman of the apart- ment developers' committee of the Urban Development Insti- tute, said the money supply sit- uation will increase the costs of new urban apartments, mean- rents, and cause some slow-down in planned con- struction.
