He said $230,000,000 may be spent on the program, which will pay allowances of $35 to $90jone, or help for university stu- a week for 'workers courses.

Michael Warren said in an in- terview that the new Adult Oc- cupational Training Act, to be introduced for second reading in the House of Commons to- day, would remove the federal government from responsibility for on-the-job training. Mr. Warren, executive assist- ant to Labor Minister Dalton Bales, said if the act passes as it stands, the province would be forced to pay an extra $4,000,000 to maintain on the job programs at their present level. He said the labor department in the Commons|about 350,000 will per cent of the labor force or leach year. Mr. Munro said the govern- invasion of provincial responsi- bility in the field of education. The federal government will simply buy training for workers, providing them with an income and paying part of provincial expenses. He emphasized the program is not a cultural development dents. Its emphasis is on techni- cal skills and trades training. To qualify, a person must have been in the labor force for is ready to spend the money, but added that the adult train- ing programs would be set back two or three years. The $4,000,000 is growth money which the department planned to spend in meeting the increasing demand from indus- try and labor for the program. Until March 31, the appren- ticeship program had been run on a 50-50 basis by the federal and provincial governments. Under the proposed federal policies, about one-third of On- tario's 15,000 apprentices would lose living allowances needed to continue their programs, Mr. Warren said. "This act will affect millions of people and yet the federal government has refused to lis- ten to warnings of its shortcom- ings,'"' Mr. Warren said. j Professor-Priest Reinstated Students, Faculty Return WASHINGTON (AP) -- Offi- cials at Catholic Universith have reinstated a theology instructor whose questioning views led to his dismissal and prompted a five-day student-faculty boycott that shut the school. Rev. Charles Curran, 33, fired last week without a hearing, was told Monday he could have his old job back plus a pre- viously approved, promotion to the rank of associate professor effective Sept. 1. The more than 7,000 students and faculty then said they would end the walkout. Classes were to resume today. The was to a cheering crowd of 2,000 banner-waving students by Most a Father Curran, who has advo- cated easing the church's rigid rules against birth control serv- ices and pills, agreed. "This has not been a revolt against authority," he told a press conference. "This has not been primarily a theological de- bate. "The issue has been clear and simple. A contract was not re- newed without charges or a hearing." Archbishop O'Boyle said the university's 44 - man board of trustees, which made the deci- sion to fire Father Curran, would stage a series of meet- ings with theology professors "to clarify the issues." He also told the d anew i Rev. Patrick J.

The subcommittee's recom- mendation was contained in the second volume of a three-vol- ume report by the committee tabled in the legislature Mon- day by Premier Robarts. In making the recommenda- tion the subcommittee said it assumed "'that for the foreseea- ble future the greater pressure for revenues will be on the provinces and municipalities, and that if any surplus tax re- sources are available it will be at the level of the federal gov- ernment." The_ subcommittee recom- mended that equalization Toronto Designs Distinctive Flag TORONTO (CP) -- A distinc- tive Toronto flag, secretly planned for several weeks, will be unveiled May 1, the chair- man of the city's art advisory designed poorer provinces, be continued programs be reviewed "to de- continued or discontinued as government programs." are more workers needing train- ing this year than the system be trained|will be able to handle, and priority will be gi en to unem- also make loans to provinces to construct new trades schools and help them establish re- grams for adult education._ The parliamentary secretary said there have been complaints about the operation of interim arrangements, put into effect on the basis of an appropriation vote pending approval of the government's bill. Ontario offi- cals have said present regula- tions are so restrictive that 7,000 workers will be denied the living allowances they have {been receiving. rs said the present regulations restrict help to those who are unemployed and want training in some desig- nated lines of work. The regu- lations being drafted for the new bill will be much broader, he added. David Orlikow (NDP--Winni- peg North) said the legislation discriminates against women. Housewives who had brought up children and now wanted to work outside the home would have to wait three years for training. Mr. Munro said women will be treated the same as men. J. Chester MacRae (PC -- York-Sunbury), a business col- lege teacher, said private busi- ness colleges and_ technical academies should be treated equally with publicly-run insti- tutions under the program. He said he would introduce an! amendment later in the debate! to ensure this. By Teachers TORONTO (CP)--A deadline has been set by 1,900. Toronto high school teachers for the Tor- onto board of education to re- new an offer of retroactive pay which the board made and then withdrew. Teachers' spokesmen said Monday that if the retroactive pay offer is not renewed by May 3, they will recommend that the teachers reject the board's final offer in their wage dispute. The recommendation would also urge that the teachers vote to resign if necessary. beginning in September. However, the board withdrew the offer of a previous meeting to make the increases retroac- tive to Jan. 1, 1967. : search and development oy) OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson has finally found a use for the hot line in his car. The special radio-telephone was installed a few years ago so Mr. Pearson could be en route in the chauffeur- driven limousine from Ottawa to Harrington Lake, site of the prime ministerial cottage in Quebec's nearby Gatineau Hills, On the narrow road along reached immediately in his car in event of a national emergency, such as a nuclear war. There was, happily, no na- tional emergency Friday when Mr. Pearson used the hot line for ,it is believed, the first time. The prime minister, his wife and their daughter, Mrs, Wal- ter Hannah of Toronto, were Despite Tire TORONTO (CP) -- Major Ca- dian auto facturers will be able to continue production despite a strike at three United States tire companies, industry spokesmen said Monday. Spokesmen for American Mo- tors (Canada) Ltd., Chrysler Canada Ltd., Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd. and General Mo- tors Canada Ltd. said their Ca- nadian production employs Ca- nadian-made tires. Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., B. F. Goodrich Co, and Uniroyal Inc. were struck in the U.S. Friday. The Canadian auto manufac- turers said it is too early to say what may happen regarding U.S. - built cars imported for sale in Canada. A spokesman for General Mo- Meach Lake, the car ran over a rock which had tumbled from a high bank. The rock smashed the car's transmission and the car stalled. No one in the car was hurt or even shaken up. CALLS TOW TRUCK Mr. Pearson's limousine was not accompanied by an RCMP patrol car.

A Ford spokesman said the parent Ford Motor Co. has suf- ficient tire inventory provided the strike is not a long one. American Motors said it is watching the lockout of Chicago area truckers in the wake of a breakdown in negotiations. The Canadian subsidiaries of the strike-bound tire manufac- turerg--Firestone Tire and Rub- ber Co. of Canada, Kitchener; B. F. Goodrich Canada Ltd., Hamilton and Uniroyal (1966) Ltd. of Montreal--said their production of car tires will not be curtailed by the U.S. strike. Drug Offences Increase | PM USES HOT LINE FOR TOW : -- Parliament Equals Record minister took to his hot line and called his Ottawa switch- board to scare up a tow truck. A truck arrived in due course and towed the car the last couple of miles to Har- rington Lake. The Pearson family's exper- ience with hot lines has al- ways been on the lighthearted side. A few Christmases ago, Mr. Pearson found one of his grandchildren making a call on the hot line to North Amer- ican Air Defence Command headquarters from a closet in the prime ministerial _resi- dence at 24 Sussex Drive.
