She Published by Canadian Newspapers'Limited | 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'Automated Highway 'Roads For Tomorrow - Trans-Canada Highway was built 'on the assumption. that it would provide for Canada's motor traffic needs for years to come. But the pace which the United States gov- 'ernment is setting for ie develop- :ment of interstate h gests that we may be only at the 'beginning of the problem in both reountries. In the U.S., some 21,000 miles of the 41,000 pice of expressways connecting the states have been completed. All of it is scheduled to be finished by 1972. It will link vir- tually all the nation's major popula- tion centres with high-speed multi- lane, limited access highways. Then will come the start of another type of highway that almost staggers the imagination. The Charlottetown . Guardian draws attention to fact that in studying the probable needs of the next 20 years, American engineers are proposing super-expressways with a speed limit of 100 miles an hour; 120 would be permitted for passing. Called the "Century," the first such highway would run he- tween Washington and Boston. Old cars would be barred from the Cen- thry, and cars entering the new highway would undergo a safety test. Drivers with bad accident rec- ords would not be admitted. Automobiles will enter the super- highway via a "slow" road with a speed limit of 80 miles per hour, then take a ramp at 90 to the full- speed "chute" with flat shoulders and no ditches, culverts, or poles to hit. Electronic sensors in the road will sound a warning buzzer in an automobile if it approaches the car ahead too closely. When a car starts slowing down, warning lights on its roof will flash and a buzzer will sound in the vehicle behind it to re- duce the danger of rear-end colli- sions. As explained. by a National Geo- graphic News Bulletin, the Century could open the way for fully auto- mated highways. Under a system already tested, electronic circuits buried in the road would guide vehi- cles and control speed, distances be- tween cars, breaking, and steering. Wallace On Job Again Citizens of Alabama are satisfied that a man like George Wallace is the kind of a man they want. The things Mr. Wallace stands for are the things they believe to be desir- 'able. < Riding behind the skirts of his wife, Governor Wallace swept through to a landslide victory in the Democratic primary. In the Deep South this is usually a token of au- tomatic victory when the candidate opposes the Republican standard- bearer in the November elections. The Sarnia Observer says Ala- bama is not, nor is it likely to be, one of the progressive areas of the United States. It has, if what Gov- -ernor Wallace says is true, a differ- ent interpretation of what democ- - racy means than most people. Dem- She Oshawa Times L, WILSON, Publisher L . PRINCE, Genera!

Even the whites are parti- tioned. Mr. Wallace, if the truth were known, probably has as little regard for the considerable number of 'poor white trash" who vote for him as he has for Mr. Martin Luth- er King and negro intellectuals. On television Governor Wallace (who kept interrupting his wife to asked of her) called his back-door entrance for a second term a victory for "democ- racy," "the free of life," the sanc- tity of "states rights" and a slap at Washington "centralization" ~ in butting in to demand that all Amer- icans be be given the same rights in Alabama. Judging from Governor Wal- lace's remarks his return to the Alabama governorship is but a step forward to higher posts and greater things. He intimated the presden- cv was not too high a mark to shoot at, According to the confident gen- answer questions tleman the United States as a whole is behind him < One must. admit that the colored population there gets the thin end of the stick in the north as well as the south. But it-is doubtful, The Observer notes, that an entire peo- ple would depart so far from chris- tian ethics upon which the nation was founded as to place the destin- ies of all its people in the hands of a man whose every word and action has heen to degrade a considerabie colored minority who are probably as white inside as the governor. CITY MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS OLD OTTAWA REPORT Oshawa Times Statistical Shocker On Toll In Traffic By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA---Three small drinks or two home-size shots of liquor g0-impair.a driver's competence that he should keep out of the driver's seat, a parliamentary committee has heard. "You are opening up a very, very big subject," Pat Cam- eron, veteran Liberal MP from Toronto, and chairman of the Commons standing committee on justice and legal affairs, told MPs who have introduced bills aimed at 'making our roads safer. Four such bills designed to amend the Criminal Code have been put forward. They refer to safety. devices on cars (pro- posed by Dick Southam of Moose Mountain), dangerous motor vehicles (proposed by lan Wahn of Toronto), impaired driving (proposed by Barry Mather of Vancouver), and neg- ligence in operation of motor vehicles (proposed by Yves For- est of Stanstead) This balance of two and two relating respectively to cars and their drivers accurately re- flects the two separate sides to the problem of our highway massacre, which tend to be con- fused by crities, Faults attribu- table to drivers have been in- flated as a smokescreen, to ob- secure the equally important matter of deficiencies in car design SECOND CRASH KILLS There are two crashes in every accident of major import. First, the impact between a moving car and another object, either another vehicle or a sta- tionary object such as a tree or wall. Second comes the impact of the human beings inside the moving car against the interior of the car itself. Death and in- juries are caused by such fea- tures as the non collapsible steering column, the unpadded dash, protruding knobs, inse cure door latches and crushable roof One third to one half of the fatal traffic accidents occurring in North America are caused by drinking drivers, Barry Mather told the committee when ex- plaining his bill. He urged the imposition -of--a --computisory breathalizer test, carried out by properly trained technicians, to determine the alcohol level in the blood of every driver in- volved in an aceident who is suspected of drinking. HOW MANY DRINKS? The committee discussed at some length the blood alcohol Jevel, which constitutes impair- ment. Barry Mather quoted the Canada Highway Safety Coun- cil: "Since the accident hazard begins to rise with blood alcohol concentrations in the neighbor- hood of .05 per cent; it is clear that the ability to drive safely is impaired before driving be- comes noticeably erratic to po- lice officers and long before universal agreement 'could be expected on a driver being in- toxicated." A blood alcohol level of .05 per cent is caused by three drinks each of an. ounce and a half of average spirit. That means three normal cocktail lounge drinks, or two of those home-served "'one for the road" drinks. Committee members agreed that there is individual variation in tolerang e to alcohol, but this factor cannot he ca- tered to in legislation. "Before I conclude my evi- dence, Mr. Chairman," Barry Mather said, "I would point out that while I have been speaking, average statistics indicate that 20 people have been injured, one person has been killed and something like $75,000 of prop- erty damage has taken place during my presentation of this support for. the bill." This statistical detail shocked his audience: he explained that one traffic death occurs in Can- ada every 100 minutes, one traffic injury occurs every 3% minutes; and the yearly cost of accidents is $600,000,000--which is $120 for every Canadian fam- ily Next Step To Unification Sought By German Leader By CARL HARTMAN BONN (AP)--Chancellor Lud wig Erhard and leaders of West German political pe rties try again next week to smooth out their differences over the next step toward German reunifica- tion The current problem: How to bring leading Fast German Communists into West Germany even for short. visits without their being arrested for confis- cating private property, depriv- ing citizens of.their civil rights, treason or even murder The Communist party itself is illegal in West Germany Justice Minister Richard Jae ger, although a strong anti-Com- munist, said in an interview a special law could be passed to grant safe-conducts as long as they are for a limited time One difficully in getting the law 'through. is that the "Social- ists are sunning with the ball on reunification.

CHILLING REMINDERS OF REVOLT History, Religion Pervade Magyar Capital ESZTERGOM, Hungary (CP) --History and religion pervade this old city perched atop a big bend in the Danube 49 miles north of Bduapest This is where the Magyar invaders established their first royal capital more than 1,000 years ago It's also still theoretically the ecclesiastical seat of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, Roman Catholic primate of Hungary, who since the 1956 revolution has been living in asylum in the United States legation in Budapest. On the bus ride through ancient farming country from -Budapest, you get a glimpse of signs of more recent his- tory. At two or three points along the narrow, winding road Soviet Army camps are visible. And if you look sharply across the top of the wal] that separates one such camp from the road, you can see a row of tanks lined up in a shed, chilling reminders of the 1956 uprising which was suppressed by Russian tanks in the streets of the capital In Esztergom itself the most striking physical characteris tic is the basilica, largest, ehurch in Hungary. an im posing structure that rises oul of a cliff just river MOVED CHAPEL above the 186s after being under con- struction 40 years, contains a side-chape] dating from ren- aissance times, which was transported stone by stone from a spot 330 feet away, Inside the basilica, whose dome and portico are sup- ported by 72-foot-hizh Corin- thian columns, is a of saints' ments and altar - ware 700 years old and more The hill crowned by the church contains Roman, med- feva].

The population grew quick ly, and there were problems something like those today. A shortage of doctors was one of them. Even in 1815 there were only 40 qualified medical men in Upper Canada, but there were any number of 'quacks' They were colorful, but not very helpful, selling their "wonder medicines" from the backs of travelling wagons The Toronto "patriot" ran an editorial in 1838 which said "Quacks are an intolerable nui sance in any city where empir- icism and radicalism go hand in hand. It is a monstrous griev- ance . that our government should allow the province to swarm with these pestilant vagabonds, every one of whom is a Yankee Joafer." Some attempts had been made to regulate the practice of medicine, Dr. John Rolph tried to form a medical school in 1824, but got involved in poli- tics, He took part in W. L.

The British and Hanover- ian armies launched one of the classic attacks of the history of war 221 years ago today--in 1745--at the battle of Fontenoy. A mass of 7,600 infantry marched slowly uphill, while being shot at by artillery from both sides, At one point the lines halted and British and French -guards regiments gave each other three cheers. The battle was a French victory, in that the British attempt to prevent French capture of the Low Countries failed, The French armies were com- manded by Marshal de Saxe, in a wicker chariot because he was too sick to ride his horse. 1625--Charles. | of Eng... land married Henrietta Maria. 1867--The Treaty of Lon-.. don promised Luxembourg perpetual neutrality.

JOHN BEST BUDAPEST (CP)--One of the men closely associated with Hungary's economic. re- form program would like to see some sort of link between trading blacs of the Commu- nist and Western world Prof. Imre Vadja of the University of Budapest holds that the tendency for coun- tries and groups of countries to become more and more self + sufficient "has to be abandoned and fought against."' "It is a barrier common progress istence."' The scholarly-looking pro- fessor concedes, however, that the idea of £0- operation a here blocs -of W esten Burana and the coun- cil of Mutual Economic As- sistance (Comecon), the loosely-knit Soviet-bloc trade and development agency, is 'wishful thinking and nothing else' at the moment. He emphasizes that his is "purely a personal view" and that he has had no consulta- tions about it at an official level. Prof. Vadja is well known in the international commu- nity of economists. He speaks and writes English and pro- duces many essays on eco- nomic themes for both Hun- garian and foreign publica. tions A major concern at present is the economic reforms due to go into general operation country in two years FITS PATTERN The program contains many of the ingredients that charac- terize other such programs in Eastern Europe. It provides for independence for individual factories, more emphasis on profit, greater material incen- tives for both plant managers and workers, and overhaul of price structure to make prices more closely reflect real costs The reforms would be an important preliminary to any future move to bring about a form of co-operation between trade blocs of Bax and West. Vadija says that at an East- West conference of econo- mists one time he put forward his idea of co-dperation be- tween Comecon on the one hand and the European Com- mon Market and European Free Trade Association on the other "The response was sympa- against and coex- ra ading increased "devel thetic. But . there were a long series of buts.' In any case, it would be premature: to deal now with questions about. the possible extent of such a plan "The problem now is pri- marily one of principle . . , whether there are to be con- tacts, mutual recognition of the existence of the other trading group." SHOULD HOLD TALKS Talks should be held be- tween the parties concerned to see "whether lines of co- operation and co-ordination could be worked out and in what fields." His own feeling was these,could include tariffs, nancing, liquidity and aati opment projects "These are better suited for talks on an international level than on a bilateral level." It would be better to have an "open dialogue' between two trading groups than the present system where individ- ual countries watch one an- other closely to see which may be trying to close a deal with some country on the other side of the East-West border, "There are no institutional contacts at present but behind the scenes the same forces are acting on either side," Prof. Vadja says cohesion of trading groups, carried to the point of self-sufficiency, would only serve to sharpen the divi- sion between East and West Within the framework of a general agreement, he sug- gests, enterprises. would he free to conclude their own agreements with enterprises on the other side of the East-West frontier Recent developments in Comecon countries, giving greater autonomy to factory managers, would enhance the possibility of contacts leading to. such agreements. in QUEEN'S _ Medicare Popularity To Grow BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Is. OMSIP a suee cess? : Well, who really is on first? The government and opposi« tion had quite a battle over this after the original May 1 regis- tration period was closed. The conclusion? None really. Health Minister, Dymond said registrations covered 1,200,000 residents which was up to ex- pectations and that this made the first stage of the plan a suc- cess. Crities said Dr. Dymond had reported when the medical plan was first announced that 1,200,+ 660 would be a minimum enrol- ment, that the estimates for the plan were based on an enrol- ment of 1,800,000 and that actu- ally there were 2,800,000 resi» dents not covered by insurance and who therefore might be considered as prospects for the program Therefore, they said, the plan was a failure. NOT A FAILURE The situation actually seems to be this. The response prob- ably was a bit of a disappoint- ment to the government, But the response it did get meant it certainly was not a "failure." There is no good standard of comparison, of course, OMSIP can't be compared to the original hospital insurance enrolment, for with it all pri- vate coverage was done away with and the plan was compul- sory for a large section of the population It's to be expected thas OMSIP will have a steady growth. And quite probably in a year or more from now the plan will be getting ready to blend into a federal-provincial universal plan in which emerybody will be covered, Although the government hasn't. stated a definite position, it is to. be taken from its atti- tude that it will go along with the federal plan when the de- tails have been worked out. TORONTO CLOWNS Municipal Affairs Minister J. W. Spooner had to eat a bit of turkey. But it still probably was as pleasant turkey as the minister has ever had to digest, In a moment of irritation one day Mr. Spooner off-handedly referred to Toronto's Mayor Givens and his council as @ "bunch of clowns." Subsequently he wrote Mr, Givens a note of apology. Mr. Spooner's natural de- cency would impel him to do this, aside from political consid- erations. But still he had the satisfac tion of putting on the record his opinion of Toronto's city fath- ers, who have the annoying habit of getting in silly squab- bles they can't settle and then trying to put the blame on the province and the minister. Ceylon Ends Language War COLOMBO (Reuters) -- Cey- lon's language war is over and political observers forecast that government concessions granted to the Tamil-speaking people will become the corner- stone of a united country Prime Minister Dudley Sen- anayake has granted the Tamil- speakers the right to corres- pond with government depart- ments and regional! authorities in their own language and re- ceive replies in Tamil, Cingalese was made the offi- cial language of Ceylon in 1954, But there were bloody riots two years later when the current language concessions were first framed and then withdrawn. The language war convulsed the country again early this year but Senanayske was not disuaded from granting the-eon- cessions, His decision was hailed here and abroad as courageous, The Tamil - speaking people, who form about 25 per cent of Ceylon's 11,000,009 population, showed their appreciation of the concess ions on Independence Day Feb. 4, by jcining in the celebrations for the first time since the country became inde- pendent in 1948. Senanayake"s government made it clear that the language concessions did not in any way impinge on. Cingaiese which continues to be the official lan- guage of the country.
