pvp nearer err SWEEPING NEW POWERS OF SE OTTAWA (CP)--Canada's po- lice chiefs have asked for sweeping new powers of search, arrest and investigation for the protection of society, The right to search without warrants and 'to jail people without filing charges are among 10 specific Criminal Code amendments urged by the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs. A brief to a federal inquiry on the administration of justice also recommends rights of dis- closure of conversations be- tween accused persons and such homes court-appointed counsellors as clergymen, psychiatrists and so- cial workers. On this point, the policemen Say, it is the duty of anyone-- including these professional per- sons--"to bring to the attention of law-enforcement authorities any information disclosed by their clients of crimes that have been committed or may be com- mitted in the interest of public Safety." _ They also proposed that mag- istrates be subjected to psycho- logical examinations to ensure they are "stable persons." nv tn Tn ARNE re . They urged the retention of flogging of prisoners and argued that governments often lose sight of the need to protect so- ciety in their "zeal for the re- habilitation of the criminal." The brief, made public today, said police should be authorized to jail persons temporarily to prevent them from breaking the law in the future. This would be done under a "preventive detention law' that would allow police to hold "rab- ble-rousers and trouble-makers when threats are made against the person of VIP's, etc." 'Montreal Ameen iene This proposal echoed one made recently to the Quebec royal commission on justice by Police Director Gil- bert. Several organizations de- nounced the idea as a violation of civil libertieés reminiscent of Gestapo tactics. In their brief to the federal committee on corrections headed by Mr. Justice. Roger Ouimet of the Quebec Superior Court, the police chiefs advo- cated a law allowing police to detain any criminal suspect up to 24 hours without having to hale him into court on a specific charge. WHAT THEY ASK They proposed the following new police powers: --Requiring any person to give his name and address whenever asked to by a po- liceman. --Entering homes without warrants whenever a police- man thinks a criminal offence has been, or is about to be committed. --Forcing all persons sus pected of impaired driving to m take breath analysis tests to. determine the alcohol content in the blood. These tests now are voluntary --Use of wiretapping and elec- tronic "bugs" when. warrants are issued by judges. --Arrests. without warrants of persons suspected of minor criminal offences. --Searches without warrants for counterfeit money, stolen property or burglary tools. --Arrest of persons found "Joitering" in hallways and locker rooms inside apartment buildings. The brief said children aged seven to 14 should continue to be liable to prosecution and im- prisonment. Youths aged 16 and over should be tried in adult courts. Victims of crimes should be compensated by the crimi- nals as part of the sentences, The lash should be retained to punish violent criminals, but used only under medical super- vision. "Judges and magistrates should perhaps be subject to psychological examination as a prerequisite to appointment," the brief added, ARCH SOUGHT FOR POLICE "Magistrates, in particular, should be so examined and re. examined occasionally because they deal with the majority of the persons charged and are eX- tremely important individuals in our whole judicial system. , , ."* The police chiefs also recome mended tougher parole and pro- bation procedures, The Ouimet inquiry was set up in 1965 and is expected to submit its recommendations late this year. The committee does not hold public hearings, but accepts briefs from any in- terested: group or individual. \ a ye Ghe Oshawa Cimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1967 Home Newspaper Of Oshowa, Whitby, Bowman- ville, Ajax, "Pickering and neighboring centres in Ont- ario and Durham Counties.

ENDS 3-DAY VISIT | President Johnson, ending his three - day visit to Bonn for Tuesday's state funeral for for- mer chancellor Konrad Aden- auer, said no hard or fast de- cisions were made at today's talks. The U.S. and West German leaders spent most of the time closeted together in Kiesinger's WHITEHORSE, Y.T. (CP) Robert W. Service, the bank clerk whose poems brought fame to the Yukon's Klondike gold rush, is being featured in an exhibition at Fairbanks, Alaska, as the poet laureate | of that state. The move has provoked res- idents of the neighboring Yu- kon Territory. A Robert Service memorial exhibit will be a feature in a Gold Rush Street log cabin at an Alaska 67 exhibition in Fairbanks, May 27-Sept. 30. The exhibit of numerous Service memorabilia is de- scribed by promoters as a first of its kind and an ex- clusive. The claim has prompted of- ficials here to voice surprise and to promise that Alaskan officials would "be hearing from" Yukon historical groups. A Whitehorse museum dis- plays an extensive collection of the poet's original manu- scripts and pictures. The cabin at Dawson City, where many of his poems were writ- ten around 1900, has become a centre for admirers. bungalow in the grounds of the! CA-NA-DA GOLD - PLATE HIT Canadians Caug STYLIZED MAPLE LEAF EVERYWHERE ht Up In Centennial By GERARD McNEIL QUEBEC (CP)--A year ago it might have been hard to believe that "the 100th anniversary of Confederation" could become a pulsating line in a record- smashing song, but it has, as part of Bobby Gimby's 'gold- plated hit, Ca-na-da. : The centennial excitement that has caught the country in the last five months is mani- festing itself in a multitude of amazing wgys. When Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie Jands at Vancou- ver todayen route to Montreal and the world's fair, he may spy citizens heading for beaches with Victorian tubs. They would be entrants pre- paring for the bathmobile race the town of Nanaimo is sponsor- ing in a burst of centennial in- spired fun. The emperor is the first of a parade of state visitors who are coming to Canada for the cele- brations this summer. Delegates to a two-day cen- tennial conference that ended Tuesday have been told that: --The official centennial song, better known as Ca-na-da, has become the best selling rec- ord ever produced in the i the \ country and is threatening an international sales mark set in Canada by a Beatles disc. --The stylized maple leaf that is the centennial symbol has been stamped on everything from kleenex packs to the Air Canada fleet. --The Confederation train has received its 1,000,000th visitor since leaving Victoria in Jan- uary and it probably will be around after the centennial as a result. At the end of the conference State Secretary Judy LaMarsh presented Toronto composer, Bobby Gimby with a gold - plated record to mark the sales success of Ca-na-da. Its sale of 200,000 copies since Christmas is the equivalent of 3,000,000 copies in the United States, Miss LaMarsh noted.
