he Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1967 They 'Diced With Death' As Professional Pioneers It had to happen. The only ques- tion really has been when. The con- quest of space is the most perilous pursuit undertaken by man. The wonder is that it has not claimed casualties ere this. Yet, while fatalities are expected, the odds even computerized,. the searing deaths of the three astronauts strike with a horrible shock. "Dicing with death" was an ex- pression adopted by the blaise and brave young pilots of the Royal Canadian Airforce during the Second World War to describe their many missions into the wide blue yonder. Their assignments were hazardous too but there was about them a sense of temporary risk -- the war wasn't going to last forever and, with luck, they could return to civvy street unscathed. Astronauts certainly "dice with death" but with a difference that raises each one to the status of a hero. There is nothing transitory about their careers. They have de- liberately chosen space exploration as a profession -- a lifetime job. The complexities of their work are so great that each moment they are in action they are virtually beyond the point of no return. Such dedication to danger demands a daring few of us would care to emulate. (In Canada, for instance, a current Gallup Poll indicates that 84 per cent of those questioned have no desire whatsoever to ven- ture into space.) For their part Astronauts Gris- som, White and Chaffee were on record as recognizing the risk. "We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program," space veteran Virgil Grissom said. "If we die we want people to accept it, This was the cool, matter-of-fact comment of a professional made without pretense. Their deaths will be accepted but not with the stoic calm that characterized their out- look. The full sweep of publicity their activities were given made them next-door neighbors throughout the world. They will be remembered as explorers in the best traditions of the pioneers of history. s .Bird Is On The Wing The weekend meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Progressive Conservative Association to discuss a leadership convention has given cause to reflect on a comparison of things past and present regarding the party. The deterioration of party unity set in at about the same time that rock and roll music and beatniks made the scene.

Dalton Camp, accused as he was by the pro-Diefenbaker faction of heresy to the party; and of being the mallet which started the wedge of disunity; appealed to the youth- ful reactionaries who seemed to ex- press the ideology of change for change's sake. Their outbursts can hardly endear the "old party" to the hearts of Canadian voters. Tory leader Diefenbaker and Mr. Camp seem to have agreed to dis- agree on every issue. It is virtually inconceivable that men who consider themselves intelligent enough to win the confidence of the electorate and to govern this country should be 60 unintelligent as to not be aware of what this constant inter-party wrangling is doing. It is high time the Conservative party as a whole considered that the infighting inspires neither con- fidence nor approbation. In the words of Khayyam, "The bird of time has but a little way to fly, and, lo the bird is on the wing". The Tories, unless they patch their differences and present a solid front may find themselves with an empty cage for some time to come. OTTAWA REPORT Question Period Rude, Partisan By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Howls of ish While the wife stooped over the stove, he buried himself in about the conduct of parliamen- tary business are rising from Parliament Hill itself, echoing more ancient public grief. As every visitor to the Com- mons must observe, all parties show their wild oats freely dur- ing the daily question period. This is the chief target of criti- cism. It used to be a construc- tive and dignified 15 minutes when MPs intelligently ques- tioned the government about "urgent matters of national im- portance," In recent years this has ex- ploded into an unruly minister- baiting period, nearly always over an hour in length, in which rudeness replaced rhet- orice and is answered with arro- gance instead of information. An over-generous time limit has now been imposed, but other curbs are needed. Speci- fied days each week might be set aside for questioning speci- fied ministers; this would elimi- nate the present midway atmos- phere of a free-for-all Aunt Sally, Still better would be the requirement that proposed ques- tions be submitted in writing to the Speaker 24 hours in ad- vance, so that he could disallow those not in order. Supplemen- tary questions would still enable the agile MP to hit the bull's- eye and thus achieve the thrill of dumping the unwary minister into the water. Health Minister Allan Mac- Eachen is one of those minis- ters who has been deploring the bear-garden aspect of a bad- tempered House of Commons. Agriculture Minister Joe Greene and Industry Minister Bud Drury are two others whom I have heard reasonably critical. TWO EGGS FOR A BAD EGG Addressing a meeting during the convention of the Royal Col- lete of Physicians and Surgeons here last week, Mr. MacEachen said. the mood of. some MPs reminds him of the husband who was petulant at the breakfast table. On one particularly sour morning, his wife asked him what he would like for break- fast. "Two eggs," he growled. "How would you like them cooked, dear?" she asked sweetly. "One boiled, one fried," he snapped, the newspaper until the eggs were placed before him. "Can't you do anything right?" he snapped. "What's the. matter, dear?" replied the wife. "You fried the wrong egg," snarled her white knight, Similarly, Mr. MacEachen in- dicated, non - co - operativeness and worse always has the: abil- ity to abuse the rules and pre vent the parliamentary mas chinery from smooth and effec- tive functioning. This, he explained, is not to suggest that in a democratic legislature there should not be debate and discussion, and the strong advocacy of views strongly held. He himself, in fact, gave a forceful sample of this just before Christmas when, during the debate on the supplementary old age pension, he delivered the most effective and vigorous speech heard in Parliament in 1966. LEADERS' DUEL Democratic legislative deci- sion-making, he admitted, gen- erates conflict. But it should be a conflict. with a purpose, a conflict of policies and philoso- phies, rather than a conflict of personalities, he insisted. In this he was referring to the personality clash between the leaders of the two big parties who, with their horns locked in mortal combat, are evidencing the bull-moose syndrome. Each is fighting to destroy his enemy rather than to attain his own philosophy, it seems; but each is consuming himself in the vio- lence of the struggle. And like the old bull moose, each is leaving with the watching herd an image of a failing hero, re- placing the earlier image of a respected master. The pettiness of the new par- liamentary practice was neatly summarized by Allan Mac- Eachen in one phrase: "There has been a 'tendency to look at problems in an overly partisan way, and to take up parliamentary positions which are more appropriate for an election campaign than for a serious - minded legislative as- sembly." Coming from a man with Mr. MacEachen's practical and. theoretical knowledge of the political science, that critici- cism deserves respect, Passport To Popularity In Playing Peso Politics By CP Correspondent BOGOTA (CP) -- Pugnacious President Carlos Lleras Res- trepo of Colombia has found an unlikely passport to popularity --playing David to the Goliath of the International Monetary Fund. He gave the back of his hand to an IMF demand that he de- value the Colombian peso by 20 per cent as a condition for a $50,000,000 standby credit agree- ment. The IMF didn't give him the $50,000,000. And the U.S. Agency. for International Development withheld $100,000,000, declaring the loan contingent upon Colom- bia getting the IMF standby. Respect and admiration for the president soared in Colom. bia as this financially-frail na- tion refused to knuckle under to the giants of global money management. This despite the fact that many Colombians on know the IMF from the Doughty resistance to foes of fact or fancy has often served stagey political purposes in al- most all countries. Commu- nism, imperialism, fluoridation, miscegenation and the gnomes of Zurich have all served well. The IMF is a more arcane adversary, aloof in impene- trable expertise. Questionable material, therefore, as a popu- lar target. That is, until it is remem- bered that Lleras Restrepo has arrayed Colombia against 105 nations. This is the IMF mem- bership and it includes Colom- bia itself. A Latin American record! When Brazil defied the IMF in 1959 there were only 68 members. Such countries as Brazil and Chile devalue as routinely "as taking a bath on Saturday night," one economist has said. But not Colombia. Most recent reason is the manner in which Guillermo Leon Valencia, then president, conducted a 20-per-cent deval- uation in 1963. orate nnn tna "TRADITIONAL' OVERHAULED - TELEVISION ASSISTS Bobby On Beat Takes On Atom- Age Image By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--The bobby on his beat, one of the sights of Britain along with pictur- esque pubs and the Tower of London, is getting an atomic- age pep-up. The whole concept of the traditional police beat has been recommended for over- haul all over England and Wales in an effort to make the policeman's lot a more happpy and successful one. Under the traditional sys- tem evolved more than 100 years ago, a London bobby's beat may comprise anything from a few hundred yards of switched-on Soho to 30 miles of cud-chewing suburbia. A government - appointed working party now has urged more flexible systems, nota- bly "unit beat policing," a scheme pioneered in Accring- ton, Lancashire, and experi- mented with in several other English and Welsh communi- ties. : Unit beat policing might of- fer a workable compromise between foot patrols -- to maintain contact with the public--and increased mobil- ity, providing swifter re- sponse to calls for help. Paradoxically, the system restores the bobby to his van- ishing role as the. man who sees all, hears all and knows all on his beat--but brings him up to date with modern tools and methods. Under the plan, districts are divided into beats. A con- stable lives in the beat and locating and recording them at scenes of crime." The scientific tenor of that general lished 140 years ago by Sir Robert Peel -- Bobbies take pattern was estab- decides for himself the man- ner of his patrols and his hours of duty. Communica- tions with headquarters are by personal radio, and radio police cars supplement the coverage. Experiments along these lines have reduced crime by 15 per cent, with house-breaking down by 30 per cent. In London and other city centres, however, uniformed policemen on foot patrol will continue to be needed in the old way, but their efforts should be supplemented by closed-circuit television, the "working party said. Home Secretary Roy Jen- kins promised immediate ac- tion on the recommendations of three working parties which last January began comprehensive studies under the general headings of police manpower, equipment and operational efficiency. Regarding equipment, the working committees -- with representatives from all ranks of the police, local au- thorities and home office--de- clared: "The Atomic Weapons Re- * search Establishment is car- rying out an investigation into the chemical and physical nature of fingerprints aimed at developing. new ways of passage underlines the changes that have become necessary in recent years. Crime, now running at the rate of more than 1,000,000 a year, doubled in 15 years while the percentage of suc- cessful detections dropped alarmingly. "Morale is undeniably low for the good reason that the law is losing the war on crime, and probably losing it needlessly," says The Daily Telegraph in an editorial. All forces--Britain has no national police force -- are much under strength. During 1960-65, 30 per cent of all re- cruitment ended in voluntary "wastage"--they quit. While the authorized re- quirement in 1966 in England and Wales was 98,060, the actual strength stood at 82,- 115. A London recruits starts at about $40 a week but his rent allowance and other grants bring him up to the equivalent of $70. There is no overtime pay, so prevalent in industry. Police forces now are in the process of merging into larger units according to a formula laid down by Jenkins last May. This is designed to reduce the number from 117 to 49 by next April. All in all, policing is undergoing its greatest upheaval since the their name from him. RELAX RESTRICTIONS In addition, Jenkins is pilot- ing through Parliament a new criminal law act--the first such major revision in 40 years--designed to assist the police in their apparently un- gg battle against crimin- als. Main proposals of the work- ing committees included: --More civilians to relieve police of office work and such duties as fingerprinting and photography. Greater use of traffic wardens. --Review of working hours and conditions to attract re- cruits. Relaxation of stand- ards for height -- a constable now must be at least five-foot eight--and eyesight. --National computer net- work to speed up the flow of information and give instant details on criminal records. Wider use of tape recorders and personal radios. The committee heard re- ports of undue "bull" in dis- cipline. One policeman, for instance, was summoned back to his station after night duty. Arriving in civilian clothes, he was ordered home to get his uniform. Back at the sta- tion in full regalia, he was simply asked why he had not put his flashlight in its proper place before signing off. QUEEN'S PARK Sm PKs nnn "HOLD IT!" M1 tsa FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS (A.A NAAN Russian Leader Visits Pope By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst In Russia, revolution no longer matters as an end in it- self; that is the meaning of the visit by the prseident --of Russia, Nikolai Podgorny, to Pope Pau Such a visit would have been unthinkable in earlier phases of the Russian Communist atate. The men at the top then were revolutionaries believing that revolution was something to ex- port, that it was a liberating technique. With the conviction of fanatics, they had their rogue's gallery of demons to fight--capitalists and imperial- ists who oppressed the proletar- jat with the help of the church which was the opium sapping the popular will to rise. Khrushchev symbolized the transition from this primitive state of the Communist faith. He had been brought up to be- lieve in revolution as a sover- eign remedy but he was also brought up in the hard struggle to build Russia's present mate- rial wealth, its factories, dams, schools and roads. To him bricks and mortar mattered more than faith in the gospel of Marx and Lenin. EMBODY CONVICTIONS Khrushchev's 'successors are the engineers, the planners, the executives he bossed in the construction drive that turned Russia from a hulking back- ward agricultural giant: into an advanced society second only to the United States technologi- cally. And for these techno- crats, the main obstacle to do- ing things the. best and most efficient way was Communist dogma, a faith whose fanatics saw heresy even in how assem- bly lines were manned. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jam. 30, 1967... England's first Parlia- ment met 702 years ago today--in 1265--in answer to a summons by Simon de Montfort, brother-in-law of Dng Henry lil and the leading reformer of his The war with Germany, a war of nations but also a war of ideologies, confirmed the So- viet technocrats in their aver- sion to fanaticism, Nazi, Com- munist or any other kind. So terrible was the destruction in Russia that the present genera- tion of its leaders, who saw their life's work crumble to ruins, can be said to be deeply tinged with pacifism. This does not mean they will easily dis- arm or not advance the inter- ests of Russia as they see them, but they will shun war as a so- lution to international prob- lems; that, at least, is the im- pression they make on all who meet them. Without implying any criticism of the U.S; tech- nocrats, it may well be that they are less afraid of war than the Russians. These new Russian leaders are representative of a whole class. which is highly educated, little influenced by political dogma and anxious to live in peace and get on with the job of enriching their country. This class is bourgeois and conserva- tive in the sense that it wants to preserve rather than risk de- stroying by revolution. They feel kinship towards our bourgeois societies and want to reach ac- commodations with our world, The Pope is an important insti- tution in the non - Communist world, hence he rates a vist by bourgeois Russia's president. King Charles Bartered Away Quebec, Nova Scotia By BOB BOWMAN Most people know the story about King Charles I of Eng- land being executed by having his head cut off Jan. 30, 1649, but few people know the effect it had on Canada. King James I had organized an ambitious col- onization scheme for his North American colonies by giving his poetry tutor, William Alexan- der, what is now Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, and part of Quebec. Alexander formed a company to develop the area, and King James added further incentive by creating an order called Baronets of Nova Scotia. People 'who contributed money, or took up land, were made memoers of the order. It exists even to- day with headquarters in a castle in Scotland. Charles I upset it all. England had captured a good deal of the territory from France, but when Charles became king, he made a deal to give it back. Charles was in great need of money be- cause Parliament had refused to vote him the usual supply. France owed him 400,000 crowns (about $500,000) which was part of the dowry he was supposed to receive when he married Princess Henrietta Ma- ria, So Charles handed Nova Scotia and Quebec back to France on condition that he re- ceived the money quickly. The merchants who had backed Alexander lost their invest- ments. When Oliver Cromwell suc- ceeded Charles as Protector of England he cancelled what has been called "the 50,000,000-acre real estate transaction" and the wars for possesion of North America were resumed. OTHER JAN. 30 EVENTS: 1815--Bishop Strachan of York wrote to ex-president Jefferson protesting actions of United States troops in Canada. 1832--W. L. Mackenzie was re-elected to Upper Canada leg- islature after expulsion. 1843 -- Robert Baldwin, who lost election in York, was given a seat by his colleague Lafon- taine representing Rimouski, Que. 1847--Lord Elgin became gov- ernor-general, 1869 -- Joseph Howe entered John A, Macdonald cabinet as president of the Privy Council. 1928--President Cosgrove of the Irish Free State visited Canada. 1934 -- Constitution of New- foundland was suspended. A commission government took over in February. uss gunna time. The King had had f nobl before but de Montfort called, for the first time, two knights from each county and two burgesses from each town, giving the urban middle class their first vote in government. Henry's son Edward (later Edward 1) defeated and killed de Mont- fort in battle the same year. 1862--The first ironclad warship, USS Monitor, was launched. 1897--The U.S. Congress prohibited Indians from drinking liquor. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- Belgian troops re- pulsed German surprise at- tacks south of Hetsas; Canadian and British units raided German trenches trenches near Souchez and Butte de Warlencourt. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--Germany an- nounced 1,500,000 prisoners of war and 2,140,000 foreign civilians were at work in Germany; London arranged for enlisted Americans 'to transfer to U.S. forces; the Japanese were 16 miles from the Johore Strait. Tories Move To Offset NDP Attack DON O'HEARN TORONTO--In the first coun- ter - offensive of the session Health Minister Dymond an- nounced an elaborate five-year program for mental and emo- tionally-disturbed children. This move appears dessigned to take the sting out of an ex- pected attack from the NDP. The program, as outlined, is an impressive one. It provides for treatment and diagnostic and treatment cen- tres across the province and for care facilities. The estimated capital cost is many millions, and in three to five years the operating cost alone will be more than §$12,- 000,000 annually. WORKABLE NOW? One doesn't want to nag. But impressive as this program may be on paper, you have to ques- tion 85; particularly whether and when it can be workable. The first major question mark is a big one and a common one here today--staff? Where will the personnel be found to run this program? Dr. Dymond in his announce- ment was inclined to partially slide over this point. He said that salary revisions had been made for child-care workers and professional classes "to assist in the recruitment of staff for these programs." Bursaries will be offered to students who wish to enter the field of children's mental and emotional health care. Seminars, workshops and in- stitutes will be provided to ime prove qualifications of individ- uals and agencies. Perhaps one shouldn't pose the question of practicality; the program is laudable, and the government is probably doing everything it can to get it under way. But still you can't see it in practical operation for quite some time because of the staff problem, Skilled personnel are in short supply, No matter how good the intentions, they can't be trained overnight. And when they are trained this is not the most attractive field in which specialists, par- ticularly psychiatrists and psy- chologists, can work. Even if specialists are avail- able there is no guarantee the government can attract them into this work. So while commending the plan, you have to do so with reservations.
