BATTLE AT POLLS IN P The battle of the Centennial Parkway is likely to be fought all the way to the ballot box. Reaction comments to a city council - in - committee decision Jast night to build the controver- sial $19,254,000 parkway "in" the Oshawa Creek Valley indicate the fight is definitely not over. References to politics -- the next civic election will be held in December -- came from per- 'sons opposing council's decision. "I'm startled at the overall conduct of the meeting," said Dr. Brian Doherty, who recent- ly presented an anti-parkway Srief.to-council. . He said he was sorry the rate- payers of Oshawa were not present in person to witness how the decision was reached. Dr. Doherty attended. the meet- ing. SHOCKED "Whether or not the parkway has merits or defects described to it, I was shocked to learn that at no time was the financial commitment considered by the city treasurer or the finance committee." MAYOR LYMAN GIFFORD . . Said All Last Night The most revealing of all com- ments made at the meeting, Dr. Doherty said, was the terse answer by Mayor Lyman Gif- ford to the question of the cost of the expressway to which he brusquely replied "so what." "This is the same mayor who campaigned and was elected on a program of austerity. It is apparent austerity doesn't begin at home," he added. Dr. Doherty said there would be representation to the On- tario Municipal Board but the urgent need, he said, so dra- matically illustrated at the meeting last night, is the neces- sity for responsible representa- -tion-on-council, ------------- "Otherwise we deserve what we get," he said, Mayor Lyman Gifford said today he had no 'comment to make. "T said all I was going to say at last night's meeting," he said. At the council - in - committee meeting the mayor said the mill tate for the public works de- bentures -- which include the parkway costs -- can be kept to 3.94 mills. bites NICHOLAS DAMAS » « +» Not Displeased The urgency in settling the matter, Mayor Gifford told the OPEGT OVER PARKWAY meeting, was because the de- partment of highways was wait- ing on a council' decision so it could proceed with plans for constructing a cloverleaf at the Macdonald-Cartier - Centennial 'Parkway intersection. SAD DISPLAY Robert Nicol, publicity chair- man for Dr. Doherty's group said the council - in «,commit- tee last night was a sad dis- play of municipal government in action. "The whole evening's pro- ceedings read like a book... Mr. Crome of the engineering de- partment made the balls and the duo of Pilkey and Brady fired them while the mayor browbeat the council into sub- mission," he said. The publicity chairman said "we may have lost the initial battle but election day will de- termine the political future of these men who have totally ig- nored 10,000 citizens who peti- tioned for a plebiscite and 100 men. from business, professions and labor who last night were treated with scorn". FIGHT STARTS Robert Woolcott, chairman of the citizen's committee for. the preservation of the Oshawa Creek Valley, said 'the fight is just beginning. "We'll carry this issue as far as we have to in order to con- serve the creek valley." Mr. Woolcott said we have no conservation area in Oshawa. He said he was dismayed that approximately 10,000 petitione were ignored in council's deci- sion: a - = ~ "Oshawa also has had the highest per capita taxation in cities under 250,000 in the prov- ince,' he said. His committee, he said, was attempting to make Oshawa a better place to live. From John Dehart, publicity chairman for the committee came: "The expressway now sounds like a shot-gun wedding instead of a well planned de- velopment." DR. BRIAN DOHERTY . . » Shocked There's too many "'ifs" and "ands" regarding the express- way, said the publicity chair man, NOT DISPLEASED N, E. "Nick" Damas of Damas and Smith Engineering Consultants Ltd. said today he was "not displeased with a de- cision reached in council-in- committee last night." "We have over the past four- years tried to provide council with the technical information which will assist it in making its decision on this and other projects," he said. Mr. Damas said council has had the matter of the parkway ~ before it for sometime since-the concept was first introduced in a 1962 report. He said council had taken into consideration the technical advice presented by his firm which was carefully scrutinized by the planning board, the de- partment of highways and the public works department, "As thoughtful people, coun- cil has taken all the time I would expect them to take in reaching a decision," he said.

He cited U.S. efforts--so far unsuccessful--to open up travel between the United States and China. Such initiatives will continue, he said '"'because we believe that co-operation, not hostility, is really the way of the future"' toward. a pacific era in which America and Asia are partners across the ocean. Johnson delivered his speech "The peace we seek in Asia is a peace of conciliation," Johnson said in a speech Tues- day night to the American Alumni Council.

The appointment of a civilian to the high office followed other moves to give the Ky regime a less military appearance. However, military control in- creased in two other 'major changes.

The prime minister's office was enlarged by the appoint- ment of two new secretaries-- both former ministers. In other changes, former in- terior minister Tran Minh Tiet was made justice minister and the man he replaced, Lu Van Vi, became inspector general.

Burundi Head Picks Cabinet BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) Burundi's new prime minister, a 26 - year - old former army captain, Michel Michombero, named his government Tuesday night, then sent a column of ve hicles armed with machine guns through the capital in a) show of military strength. Steel - helmeted troops, their|= fingers on the triggers, drove in|= convoy around the lakeside city, ready to crush any dem onstration of dissent. Michombero announced his cabinet four days after the bloodless coup which deposed|= Burundi's long - reigning King and installed old Prince Mwambutsa IV his son, 19 - year - der, Mr. Winters was replying to L. R. Sherman (PC--Winnipeg South), who said he has learned on good authority that Robin Hood, Quaker and Pillsbury flour mills, all three U.S.- owned, have been forbidden to mill wheat for sale to Cuba. He said no such restriction applies to American firms in Canada milling flour for Russian use, AREN'T NEW Mr. Sherman said the in- structions were not new--they had been issued some time ago and never been rescinded. he Winnipeg broadcaster said 45,000,000 bushels of the re- cent big grain deal between Canada and Russia were to be milled into flour. Two-thirds of this was earmarked for Cuba and carried a $6,600,000 annual price tag. While there were enough Canadian - owned mills to handle the Cuban order and no loss was involved if the Ameri- vgnnirtt ni Flour Mills Deny Cuban Boycott MP Charges U.S. Firms Order Cuba Grain Blockade can companies did not take part in the order, Mr. Sherman said he was concerned about the ef- fect on Canadian sovereignty, Would such actions on behalf of the American-owned mills adhere to principles of good cor- porate citizenship? Mr. Winters agreed that Canadian processors would gain from such an American directe ive but there was no proof such a directive existed. ' The government too was con+ cerned about the possible '"'ex- tra - territoriality" in any such U.S. directive. WERE PURSUED Mr. Winters said several other such alleged cases had been brought to the govern. ment's attention and had been vigorously pursued with the U.S. government. If the actions had been contemplated in the other cases, steps had been taken to prevent it. The gogernment would get the facts in the case brought to its attention by Mr. Sherman. If a case existed, it would be taken up with the Americans. Earlier External Affairs Min- ister Martin, replying to Mr. Sherman and Opposition leader Diefenbaker, said the matter hadnt' been brought to his at- tention. He promised to look into it. Mr. Diefenbaker. said Mr. Sherman's question is of great consequence to determine whe- ther the U.S. administration is asserting extra - territorial jur- isdiction over Canadian corpor- ations. He said the United States had tried this when he was prime minister. Mr. Martin said he wanted to indicate that if there has been any extra - territorial action Canada will take the 'strong. est action" in the national inter- est. mt NEW HIGHLIGHTS Teamsters Refuse Offer To Rejoin CLC TORONTO (CP) -- Representatives of the 40,000-mem- ber Canadian section of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (Ind.) have refused an invitation to rejoin the Canadian Labor Congress, a Teamster source said today.
