She Osta Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario _T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1966 -- PAGE 4 & 'The MudasLnge Affair' Best Forgotten, Quickly Canadians may. at first have been titillated by the Munsinger af- fair when it flared into headlines last April. They have certainly been shocked by it. Now, there can he absolutely no doubt thely are thor- oughly disgusted. They have no stomach for further public discus- sion of it or the handling of it. Months ago a freshman member of parliament termed the controver- sy aptly "a sordid, mudslinging af- fair that might better have remain- ed interred for all the relevance it had to the problems of Canadians". This is surely true today, in spades. The danger, of course, is that Op- position Leader Diefenbaker' will refuse to let go, will continue to harass and harangue until another session of parliament is left in de- grading disarray. There can be lit- tle doubt his relentless attack on Liberal front benches precipitated the Munsinger revelations. That his onslaught has boomeranged months later in the criticism he received in the Spence inquiry report could be classed as political retribution, eruel perhaps, but part of the per- formance he played such an inte- gral part in instituting. Safety Belts Most people in suburban Brook- lyn, Ohio, are wearing their car seat belts these days whether -they really care to or not. A new bylaw, the first of its kind in the United States, says they must. Mayor John Coyne says the law is "going over tremendously". It is doing just what council hoped it wonld, he save. hv educating driv- ers to use their seat belts. The law requires motorists to have their belts buckled providing their cars have them. Police haven't arrested anyone yet but they have warned about 100 first offenders. And they are not stopping everyone. They check for belts only when drivers are stopped for other violations. Brooklyn civic officials are hop- ing all Ohio cities will get behind the safety law to persuade the State Legislature to enact a seat- belt law. And perhaps it is not such a bad She Oshawa Fimes T.

Mr. Diefenbaker is hardly likely to improve the image he has/long had of a leader stronger in attack than he was in administration, His constructive political power is spent. If his concern for his coun- try remains paramount, the Mun- singer report should hasten his plans for retirement. While Mr. Justice Spence may have been hard on Mr. Diefenbaker, his report nevertheless removed the cloud that darkened the ambitions of two of the Tory leader's former lieutenants -- Davie Fulton and George Hees, Their prospects in a leadership race were much improved by the report. And, the common sense comment of one of them when interviewed on the Spence report, struck a proper note, Mr. Fulton said in Kamloops "the report is nothing more than one man's opinion six years after the event. It is much more important for us to get on with today's busi- ness for Canada and that's what I intend to do. It is excellent advice for all our members of parliament. -By Law! idea, says The Guelph Mercury. A safety belt is really little different than other safety features, such as brakes, headlights and windshield washers. And the latter are all re- quired by law. However, since safety belts are standard equipment on cars today, it does seem too bad, as The Mer- cury notes, people should have to be pressured by law into using a device designed specifically for their protection. Other Editors' Views BACK TO CLIPPERS Milwaukee Journal Barber organizations have an- nounced another increase in the cost of haircuts, this time from $2 to $2.25. This raises the price of tonsorial artistry 25 cents at one clip or precisely one-eighth. The thoughtful male, his budget already trimmed by inflation, may seek to keep it afloat by increasing his time between haircuts by a similar amount. Thus the man who used to get barbered every 16 days may stretch it to 18. The clod who lets his hair flourish to jungle thickness be- tween visits every 24 days now may be back in 27. And so, men will be- come a little shaggier, barber shops a little emptier and the whirr of home clippers may be heard in the land. LIQUID EMERGENCY (Windsor Star) Two masked U.K. bandits used water pistols to rob a bank. Now the bank staff knows what it's like to be confronted by a militant. liquid position. OTTAWA REPORT Long, Long Delay In Taxation Report PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- What ever hap- to the report of that ary old royal commission on taxation? pabe'y This is a question wich vi- tally concerns every taxpayer; and that means not just every wage - earner, but everyone from the child spending a few cents on candy to the big cor- poration with multi-million dol- lar sales, For the recommenda- tions by the commission may lead to new and tougher forms of taxation. There never has been any in- quiry quite like this under the chairmanship of Mr. Ken Car- ter. I doubt if one has ever before been treated in such a suspicious manner by a gov- ernment, and in the interests of democracy this should never happen again. As a quasi-judicial body, the commission should present its completed report to the govern- ment, which should then pub- lish it. Yet the fact is that, starting 16 months ago, the greater part of this still unpub- lished 'report has been handed piecemeal' and secretly to the government; it has been combed through and debated by at least 25 civil servants, as well as by the members and staff of a special "tax analysis unit" established by the gov- ernment for this purpose. The recommendations of the Carter commission are ex- pected to be the basis of a complete reformation of our federal tax structure, They are of vital concern therefore to every Canadian, and especially to every business. It is unfor- tunate that there should have been such a long delay in re- leasing the completed report. But it is an affront to democ- racy that for 16 months the taxpayers' servants, the civil servants, have had access to the draft recommendations, and thus have had ample time to plan the new tax system and even to draft legislation, while taxpayers themselves have not been given equal access to the recommendations and _ hence have not been able to prepare and present any counter-recom- mendations while government policy is being formulated; nor have they been able to plan how their private or corporate affairs should be rearranged. On Sept, 25, 1962, the com- mission was set up by the Cone servative government, Its pure pose, li Mi, Dicisnvaact 3 S55 words, was "to investigate the ramifications of taxation, in ore der to ascertain to what de- gree there can be amelioration and, where anomalies exist, to attempt to remove them." That original intent has be- come warped. After a change of government, Finance Minis- ter Sharp declared in his bud- get speech that the Liberal gov- ernment would consider the recommenda tions very cares fully, because it needs increas- ing revenues to meet the social and economic requirements of the welfare state. As the commission passes its fourth birthday this week, its actual and estimated cost to date exceeds $2,500,000. But when the commission was only three months old, So- cial Credit Leader Robert Thompson asserted in Parlia- ment that the government should act in anticipation of its report, '"'We cannot wait one or two years for the commission on taxation before we initiate some of the tax reforms which, for example, the Atlantic prov- inces must have, if industry is going to develop there." But we waited--and waited. Last March, Finance Minister Sharp definitively promised "we expect to receive and pub- lish the Carter report within the next two months."" Six months later, we learn that delay is now being caused by difficulties in translating it into French. We also learn that chapters were being revised or rewritten after they had been examined by the government, for Mr. Sharp has said that "no chap- ter of the report in its final version has yet been sent to the department." This must raise the unsatis- factory possibility that little hints were dropped that the government would like to see this changed or that left out. This is one of the inevitable and unattractive results of this un- justifiable and probably unprec- edented secret government pre- view of a royal commission's report. Genuine Alarm In Russia To Lurn Of Evenis in China By JOHN BEST MOSCOW . (CP)--The Soviet Union appears genuinely alarmed by recent events in China, The Soviet press has carried numerous, detailed articles from Peking on China's 'great cultural revolution." At the same time, it has been running reprints from Commu- nist newspapers in a number of other countries condemning the behavior of Mao Tse-tung's rampaging Red Guards. Common to many of these commentaries is the contention that the current upheavel in China wears a distinctly anti- Soviet complexion. "In th so-called 'cultural revolution,' what particularly stands out... is the virulent anti-Sovietism," said an _ edi- torial in the Indian Communist party's weekly New Age re- printed here. *"'Anti-Soviet slogans prevailed among the slogans of the Rd Guards to such an extent that the anti-imperialist coloring of the (Peking) demonstrations was lost in them," reported Warsaw's Trybuna Ludu. Th Soviet Communist party's central committee noted the same_hias. Documents of the most recent meeting of the Chinese party's central com- mittee show that the Peking leadership "has given the ap- proval of iés anti-Soviet line the form of an official policy of the Chinese Communist party," it said in a statement. The Kremlin was particularly riled by what it called, in an official protest note, "provoca- tions" and "outrages" come mitted against Soviet diplomatic personnel in Peking. Thse coincided with demon- strations near the Soviet Em- bassy that stretched over two days and two nights, during which the Soviet Union was roundly denounced for its "re- visionism." The Chinese renamed the street on which the embassy is located Street of the Struggle against. Revisionism. Despite their official protest, the Soviets have been cautious in their reaction to develop- ments in China. In common with the rest of the world, they appear confused and uncertain about the meaning of what is taking place. MORE THAN TACTICS Like the Chinese themselves, they go on maintaining the fa- cade that differences between the two countries are purely ideological or tactical (how best to promote communism in the world) aggravated by' conflict- ing approaches to the Viet Nam question. Beneath the surface, how- ever, there are signs of recog- nition that China's cultural rev- olution is fueled by more than ideological fervor; that it con- tains strong elements of: both chauvinism and nationalism, the stuff wars are made of. "The new upsurge of th 'cultural revolution' is accom- panied by the fanning of na- tionalist and anti-Soviet senti- ments,' Pravda reported from Peking. GOOD EVENING met CAEL STANAUORTTTN OAR ARITA eee TTT TD ita ners en irre ™ By Jack Gearin Lets Get Record Straight On C-M Plan "The City of Oshawa has bene suffering poor administra- tion for a number of years --there's been no One here to make decisions". MAYOR LYMAN GIFFORD SOME OF OUR city alder- men are confusing. They talk of the City Ma- nager form of government with endearment, as though they had been in favor of this sort of thing all along. The official record, of course, refutes these allegations. Council incumbents who sup- ported the C-M system when it desperately needed endorsa- tion could be counted on three fingers. Mayor Lyman Gifford must be included in the latter select circle ("In three previous in- augurals, I have advocated a City Manager form of govern- ment and it fell on deaf ears." But what about his colleagues some of whom are now mak- ing loud noises as if to indi- cate they have wholehartedly supported the C-M system all along? The taxpayer who will go out to cast his ballot come the De- cember election should cast a weather eye in the direction of these change - of - hearts. What did the majority of 'these same aldermen do when the Woods, Gordon report ur- ged implementation of a new Civie office -- Director of Op- erations (a drastically milked- down version of the C-M system but, nevertheless, an approach to it)? They implemented it, but on ly because they feared public opinion would be against them if they reneged That was not their most ser- fous dereliction of duty -- they later refused him the nominal support usually accored an in- coming departmental head. Is it any wonder the directorship post was doomed from the start? These aldermen were coo! , to the recommendation for one reason -- they feared it would seriously infringe on their autonomy (although the director was the servant of the council as the aatter are the servant of the people). Mayor Gifford and Alderman Clifford Pilkey pointed out re- cently that City Hall has long suffered frompoor internal ma- nagement, This situation has ex isted because the majority of elected representatives have placed efficient civic administra- tion secondary to their own personal interests. Oshawa can be proud of the general calibre of its civic de: partmental heads, but they have been sorely handicapped under the present antiquated set - ip. There is so much du- plication of service, lack of di- rection, their job is frustrating to themselves and costly for the taxpayers. WE ALL LOVE parades and t its easy to criticize them as they go by But one quéstion persists. Whatever happened to the re- cent Canadian Corps Drumhead service and parade to diminish its size so noticeably? The City would be much poor- er if it faded into the obliv- jon of bygone things. Where were all of the usual gaily « bedecked bands and marchers from Belleville, Lind- say, Cobourg and St .Cathar- ines? And the size of the local services' representation was far below standard for such an auspicious occasion. Oshawa Unit 41 of the Corps nourished and directed this solemn ritual since its 1961 de- but until it was one of the lar- gest and most colorful annual events of its king in Ontario, something to be cherished and remembered It not only brought credit to Oshawa, but also to the local Corps Lat's hope it continues. Weer NEN CANADA'S STORY neqniqnragenearn tie A THOUGHT FOR <~H hae INDIAN SUMMER inst IE uA ATA ASAE UE ERE ME First Train "Floated' By BOB BOWMAN An event in Britain on Sep- tember 27, 1825, led to the rapid development of Canada a few years later. George Stephenson introduced his invention, the locomotive. He drove the engine himself, and it pulled a train of six small freight cars and a passenger coach. Thousands of people watched the perform- ance, expecting to see it end in an explosion. Some workers rioted in protest because they believed introduction of the steam engine would cause un- employment. Re 3 Stephenson drove the train from Stockton to Darlington without mishap. He had a man ride ahead on horseback warn- ing peopl e to keep back at a safe distance. However, when the train reached the astound- ing speed of 15 miles per hour, the horseman was forced off the track, and it was every man for himself. ; The fireman on Stephenson's locomotive was Mr. Whitehead and it was his son Joseph who delivered the first railway en- gine to Winnipeg in 1877. It was the "Countess of Dufferin" which can be seen today on dis- play in front of the C.P.R. sta- tion at Winnipeg. The "Countess' was built in the U.S.A. and served on the North Pacific Railway before being acquired to pioneer rail- way development in western Canada. The locomotive and six flat cars were brought to St. Boniface on a Red River barge towed by the steamship '"'Sel- kirk."

People along the shores fired guns in salute, cheered, prayed, or burst into tears! There was a public holi- day in Winnipeg when the ships arrived, and were met by the city fathers wearing morning coats and top hats. The railway connection with a U.S. line was completed the fol- lowing year and led to a real estate boom in Winnipeg, The "Countess of Dufferin" served on the line to Pembina until 1897 when it was sold to the Columbia River Lumber Com- pany of Golden B.C. for $1,668.

Voting Given To Civil Rights Mood By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- White backlash--the hostility to civil rights gains by 20,000,000 Amer- ican Negroes--proved to be an over-rated threat in the 1964 United States elections. Republican Barry Goldwater picked up only five states in his bid for the presidency, all in the South, despite Republican ef- forts to draw from backlash discontent with slogans decry- ing violence in the streets. When Alabama police at- tacked demonstrating Negroes at Selma last year, the brutal assault touched off reaction on a national scale. But this is 1966, and Barry Goldwater isn't running. It has been two years of sustained Ne- gro protests North and South, flickering Negro riots across the.-Norie..20d.2-neenovigis.te boot in Negro leadership split between the impatient young ultra - radicals crying "Black ppower" and the moderates urg- ing restraint. Inflation and the war in Viet Nam will be major issues in the balloting for Congress Nov. 8. But civil rights and the coun- try's mood about it is given high priority, too, by opinion polls. Housewives may be forming clubs to try to beat the rocket- ing price of bread. But a stronger force in many areas is the fear that the new neighbor next door will be Negro--as ev- idenced by the fierce reaction in Chicago and elsewhere to Ne- gro demonstrations on behalf of integrated housing. BILL DIDN'T MAKE !T Many members of Congress who made possible civil rights reform in the last two years have run for cover now. The civil rights bill offeging at least a start on taking 'segregation from real estate--the most Ne- gro-conscious profession in the U.S.--folded last week because canny politicians including President Johnson knew it was dynamite. In Maryland, reputedly a more enlightened state in these matters, the Democratic candi- date for governor is a six-time loser whose only slogan was "Your home is your castle-- vote to protect it." Militant opposition to south- ern school desegregation has perked up. In Grenada, Miss., last week, as passive police watched, whites beat up Negro youngsters without stirring many big headlines, Alabama Governor George Wallace, running wife Lurleen Nov. 8 as a front for his con- tinued control, has company now in his criticism of federal efforts to jam through desegre- gation by withholding funds from schools who don't comply. It is taken for granted that segregationist Wallace, who cornered 30, 34 and 43 per cent of the presidential primaries votes in 1964 in Indiana, Wis- cunsin and Maryland, intends to run as a third-party candidate in 1968. : He could hardly be expected to win. But he might well de- cide the winner--either Presi- dent Johnson or the Republican who right now would probably be either Richard Nixon or Michigan Governor George Roney.

HEAVY FINES Mr. Editor: It should be made quite clear to some of your readers that the taxpayers of Oshawa can- not afford a police-operated drag strip. However if our city fathers are concerned about their chil- dren's safety they should make it quite clear that the minimum fine for any traffic offence would be $500 and if that did not teach some of our motorists road manners they could make it $750, Yours truly, N. BEGG 70 Byng Avenue, Oshawa, Ont. Supply Queried Of Farm Labor WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S, agriculture department . says it is not worried over a +4 possible shortage of labor for farms during the foreseeable future. This feeling is not shared, however, by some farm oper ators, particularly in such fac ets of agriculture as. dairying, fruit and vegetable production and some other specialty crops. And the government action in stopping the temporary impor- tation of foreign workers, par- ticularly from Mexico, has sparked some grower worry. In a new analysis of the labor situation, the department said that although the farm work force is declining, the number of people available for agricul ture during the next several years is likely to be adequate if wages and w conditions hold them on the farm. The farm labor force last year averaged 5,610,000 work- ers, both family and hired. This was a decline of slightly more than 1,000,000, or nearly 16 per cent, from the 1960-64 annual average. This represents a large decline from the peak of 13,- 360,000 in 1916. Employment reports so far this year indicate the annual average will decline another 500,000, putting the 1966 aver- zee at slightly more than 5,000,- BIBLE I will praise the Lord with my whole heart.--Psalm 111:1. What is worthy of being done requires that it be done well and truly. It calls for attention, con- centration and joyful en- thusiasm. Half-hearted praise fails to orbit. I will set no wicked thing be- fore men's eyes.--Psalm 101:3. A resolution worthy of all ac- ceptation, neither should we en- tertain the thought of it. It brings us too close to it.
