1Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesd: jay, April 18, 1967 British PM Urged To Curb LONDON (CP)--The govern- ment is under pressure from Labor, Liberal and Conservative opinion to impose legal re- straints on widespread racial discrimination reported today by an authoritative research} body. "Substantial discrimination"| practised in employment, hous- ing and services gets prominent) attention in most British na- tional newspapers. The Times, The Guardian and| the pro-Labor Sun among others} urge the Labor government to widen the scope of the 1965 Race Relations Act, which out- laws overt public discrimination or incitement to race hatred. The survey--'"'a report that shames Britain,"' The Sun head- lines --is a dispassionate but detailed investigation carried out by Political and Economic Planning, a private group, for the government-sponsored na- tional committee for Common- wealth immigrants and the race relations board, which admin-| isters the 1965 act. | Treatment in Britain of West | Indians, Pakistanis and Indians| compared with other minority| groups such as Cypriots and] Hungarians "leaves no doubt! |Second World War. jgrants after completing school, Racists that the discrimination is largely based on color," the study says.

Four Progressive Conserva- tives and two Liberals were sampled on their attitude to- wards the NDP member for Skeena. The prevailing view was that his criminal record was a private matter. Gordon Fairweather, Con- servative MP for Royal, said the matter should be forgotten. "It's his own business and it enbaker, should act a person with a record from sitting in Parliament. For his part, Mr. Howard says he does not intend to resign his seat. NDP Leader Douglas says the party does not intend to request his resignation. Meanwhile, Solicitor - General Pennell said he is actively con- sidering legislation which would erase a person's former crime record if he had maintained good conduct for a certain per- iod of years. He was replying in the Com- mons to Opposition Leader Dief- who said Parliament now on such a measure. happened 25 years ago,' the former New Brunswick attor- ney-general said. Mr. Howard, a 42-year-old former logger, disclosed Sunday in Vancouver after a blackmail threat that he served 16 months for the conviction as a teen- ager in 1943. He had been in trouble before that after an un- satisfactory foster - home up- bringing. ONLY 1 AGAINST Of the six MPs polled, only Conservative Alfred Hales (Wel- lington South) suggested Mr. Howard should not be permitted to retain his seat. However, he said it is up to the NDP to decide that question, not Parlia-| ment, "It's strange that one would) be allowed to be an MP with such a record," Mr. Hales said.

AFTER DISCLOSING RECORD VANCOUVER (CP) -- Frank Howard is to face Parliament today for the first time' since publicly disclosing he has a criminal record for armed rob- bery almost 24 years ago. Mr. Howard, New Democratic Party member for Skeena, was met by reporters and photog- raphers when he stopped at Vancouver International Airport Monday night en route to Ot- tawa from Terrace, B.C. "What are you going to say about this in the House?" he was asked, "What ...? Nothing," he re- plied. "Are you going to bring it up yourself?" "No." Mr. Howard said, however, that he has no trepidations about facing his colleagues in Parliament--"by and large they don't try to take advantage of another over something that is personal." : Other developments since his disclosure Sunday night on tele- vision in Terrace of serving time in prison, included: He said he will appear in {court to ask for leniency for Gary Stephen Ross, 18, who is charged with attempted extor- tion. Ross will appear Thursday in Vancouver police court. SON OF FRIEND The teen-ager is the son of Wally Ross, an NDP organizer in Ontario, a one-time United Steelworkers' Union undercover organizer in British Columbia, and a friend of the Skeena member. Mr. Howard said a number of persons, including members of other political parties, knew of his background but never made use of the facts. Mr. Howard told the televi- sion audience he was convicted on three charges of armed rob- bery in Vancouver in 1943 under his foster name and was sen- tenced to the B.C. penitentiary to concurrent two-year terms. He said he served only about 20 months because of time off for good behavior. Court records show Mr. How- ard was convicted for two jew- elry store robberies and a hotel holdup under the name of Frank Thomas Woodd, his foster name. Mr. Howard said he was prompted to make his record public because of a letter he received two weeks ago in Ot- GOLFERS!

MISSING LINK Throughout the interview Mr. Howard refused to confirm or deny he knew young Ross or whether the teen-ager was a friend of his own son, Claire Robert Howard, 16. He declined to say whether he knew Mr. Ross or to provide any informa- tion that might link him with his past. | "This could mean the end of something I love very much... politics, but I am not going to hurt anyone else." Under further questioning, Mr. Howard said he had attempted to get in touch with Attorney- General Robert Bonner about the Ross boy, who he also tried unsuccessfully to call. He said he would appear in court on behalf of the boy but would 'probably have to be guided by the Crown prosecutor and the boy's lawyer." Newspaper files show the Ross family lived in Kitimat, in the Skeena riding, in the early 1950s where the elder Ross was an undercover organizer for the Steelworkers. He was ultimately exposed 'in 1954, but as a result of his in- filtration and undercover work, certification of the Aluminum Co. of Canada employees was wrested in 1956 from the Alu- minum Workers' International by the Steelworkers. Mr. Ross left B.C. in 1957, the year Mr. Howard won Skeena Howard Faces Commons With 'No Trepidations for the NDP. Mr. Howard was first elected to office in 1953 in Skeena as member of the pro- vincial legislature and held the seat until 1956. Asked about a proposal in the Commons Monday by Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker that a person's record be erased if he maintained good conduct for a specified number of years, Mr. Howard replied: "I'm a bit biased, I guess. J don't see why, if an individual makes an error, it should en- dure after a number of years." T. C. Douglas, national NDP leader, said earlier he had known of Mr. Howard's back- ground for some time and had no plans to call for his resig- nation.

A renowned research institute has found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- thoids painlessly. It relieves itch- ing and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of the injured, inflamed tissues. One hemorrhoidal case history after another reported "very strik- ing improvement."' Pain was promptly and gently relieved ... actual reduction or retraction (shrinking) took place. Among these case histories were a variety of hemorrhoidal condi- tions. Relief even occurred in cases of long standing, and most im- portant of all, results were so thorough that this imp: many months. This was accomplished with a | new healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue. Bio-Dyne is offered in oint- ment and suppository form called Preparation H. In addition to actually shrink- ing hemorrhoids, Preparation H lubricates and makes elimination less painful.
