She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1967 New National Stature Missed By All Parties One swallow, as they say, doesn't make a summer. Nor does one nar- row election victory by a margin of only 121 votes indicate a substan- tial swing to the New Democratic Party. And, despite the socialists' growing popularity in public opin- jon polls that's the net gain the Douglas party has recorded in five byelections and two provincial elec- tions over the past 10 days. The flurry of spring voting was expected to provide some consensus of a national picture in regard to the standings of the major political parties in Canada -- nothing con- clusive but an indication to possible "winds of change". There was hard- ly the murmur of a breeze. In Alberta, the NDP lost the one seat the party previously held. In Nova Scotia, for the second conse- cutive provincial election, the so- cialists failed to win a single seat. In the four byelections in Quebec they were beaten out by Liberals, The one win was in the Sudbury riding where a recount is likely. New Democrats say their share of the popular vote in the five rid- ings -- 24 per cent compared with 16 per cent in 1965 -- indicates a broad swing to their party and au- gurs well for the Ontario election expected next fall. The Liberals counter by noting they captured a healthy 54 per cent of the vote, un- changed from 1965. But, while the NDP has certainly not shown sufficient strength to sweep many seats, the Libral party has not made many yards. The Al- berta election does not indicate a rise in Liberal fortunes in the West nor can the Nova Scotia voting be greeted with enthusiasm in the Pearson camp. Conservatives with the large and the small "c" still hold sway provincially. No one party shows evidence of a strong national stature. And, re- gardless of the predications of the pollsters, the NDP has emerged with not a whit morepf a national image than it had prior to the vot- ing. In essence, Canad® remains "balkanized" politically. Computers Alright, But Are we within 40 or 50 years of producing computers that will rank with intelligent beings? Professor N. S. Sutherland of Britain's Essex University believes goin the light of what a handful of scientists have achieved within the past 25 years and the fact that the human effort being put into this field is increasing by leaps and bounds. Already, he notes, computers have done many things, which, if done by a person, would have been regarded as creative and original. Though they have composed no «great symphonies, they have turn- -ed out what he calls "tolerable" melodies.

(Says one human champion who was defeated by it, ruefully: "I have not had such competition from any human being since 1954, when I lost my last game.") All of which is very impressive, as are the increasingly sophisticat- ed tasks which they are assuming within industry. We can reasonably expect them to perform even more remarkably in the years ahead, as they take over more and more of the routine, deadening jobs, free- ing human beings for better things, But, when it comes to creativity and originality, says The Galt Re- porter, the plain old Homo Sapiens will still have the edge even 40 or 50 years hence. The smartest computer of the day will still be merely the mech- anical, albeit complex, product of human ingenuity, a soulless appara- tus lacking that divine spark which alone can ignite true genius. The melodies may have improved, along with the geometric sums; yet Mozart and Euclid, no less than Shakespeare and Keats will remain untoppled. Checker players, on the other hand, may well find the going even roughter. OTTAWA REPORT Movement Grows To Draft Fleming By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--George Hees was inspiring trade minister in living mem- Davie Fulton was an probably .our most ory; effective minister of justice; Mike Starr was a sympathetic minister of labor; Alvin Ham- ilton was agriculture's favorite minister of agriculture. That adds up to the nucleus of an effective and powerful political team. But there is something miss- ing--where's the captain? Yet those are the early candidates for the succession to John Dief- enbaker as Conservative leader. Fulton had a trial run at cap- taining a political team. in B.C. The verdict of the electors of that province was simply that he has not got what it takes to be a political leader. Hees has failed to emerge as a convinc- ing front bench opposition fig- ure during the past 18 months; yet he has a persuasive tongue on the hustings, great personal charm, and the rare and won- derful ability to make people work together; but the qualities still do not. add up to leader- ship. Alvin Hamilton and Mike Starr have high qualities; Alvin . shows his welcome space-age imagination and a readiness to consider new ideas however ad- vanced, but he lacks the steadi- ness which is Mike's forte. Both these have solid bases of politi- cal support, Alvin among the rural agrarians and Mike among the predominantly ur- ban and increasingly important "third force' which is neither British nor French by origin. But both lack 'that mystic quality of inspiring confidence which is the essential of an effective leader. STILL SEEK LEADER So these four prominent Con- servatives, all with successful cabinet records, appear collec- tively to be men in search of a leader, rather than credible candidates for that important post themselves. Where, then, is the Conserva- tive leader who could emerge with universal acclaim and generating confidence, when that party meets in convention in September? Among Conservative MPs and 1 » a consensus has been b up with a confident and demanding insistence to services as leader of a man outside the present par- liamentary ranks, yet enjoying very great parliamentary status. That man is Hon. Donald Flems ing, formerly our indefatigable minister of finance, whose un beaten record in many munici- pal and federal elections led te nearly a quarter-century of ser- vice to his fellow citizens. I des- cribe him as '"'indefatigable' because I recall him once tel- ling the Canadian Parliament that he considered it an honor to be able to work 16 hours a day seven days a week as a senato: seek t member of the government. WON'T BURN DRAFT CARD Donald Flening retired from public life-four years ago, hop- ing to rest from those immense pressures to which he had sub- and to enjoy jected himself, more time devoted to his family and his own interests, But an estimated 72 per cent of the Conservative parliamentary caucus, and many Conservatives across the country, are now preparing to draft-him back to public life as their new leader, Don Fleming is too good a citizen to burn his draft card. Our unstable society, our pe- nurious affluence, our rudder- less state, all today call out for a dedicated man of industrious ways; sterling characteristics and high principles to lead us, to chart our course and hew to it, to restore confidence in Can- ada which Canadians have lost, and above all to restore con- fidence--period. Donald Fleming has those qualities, and will selflessly place them again at the disposal of Canadians when asked, Ca- nadians everywhere may well feel that he is indeed the man of high principles such as is now needed at the helm of our national affairs; under leader- ship such as he would 'give, Canadians would sleep better of nights than has been possible these several years past, Kremlin Puts Great Stock In Street Demonstrations By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--Two pic- tures appeared side by side recently in the Communist party newspaper Pravda. One showed a crowd of Greeks and Germans demonstrating in Stuttgart, Germany, over the military coup in Greece. The other showed a crowd in Madrid demonstrating against American involvement in Vietnam. This pictorial play on an old and a new theme reflects an abiding faith which the Krem- lin has in street demonstra- tions as an instrument of pressure and influence on Western governments. Many westerners probably consider such affairs slightly ridiculous and most of those who take part in them as having nothing better to do. The fact that Soviet leaders see them in an entirely differ- ent light was pointed up by a front - page editorial in Pravda. It seemed to credit demonstrations of different kinds with nothing less than having swung European and other countries against join- ing the U.S. military effort in Vietnam. "The fact that the United States has not succeeded in drawing its European part- ners in NATO into the Viet- nam adventure is a result of the struggle of Communist parties, of the working class of the whole world, of all peace-loving forces," said the editorial. "The grandiose manifesta- tions and meetings of protest against the 'dirty war' of the U.S., in support of the Vietna- mese people are taking place in many countries of Europe and other continents. The movement of protest against the aggression in Vietnam is growing in the United States itself." It's easy to see from this that the Kremlin regards the street demonstration as a powerful force in world af- fairs, capable of decisively influencing public opinion-- and the governments answer- able to it. This applies to demonstra- tions controlled by Commu- nist or Communist-front or- ganizations as well as others sponsored by non-Communist groups acting without political motivation. NASSER'S NUTCRACKER FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Reason For Hope Remains By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst There is still room for a blood- less settlement of the current Middle East crisis; everyone is being cautious and this what feeds the hope for peace; but the settlement may be at Is- rael's expense this time. Accused by his fellow Arabs of using the UN force as a pre- text for not joining them in pressing Israel, Nasser asked the UN troops to leave; he set no precise time limits and did not expect the UN secretary- general, to comply so promptly. The disbanding of the UN buffer on its border with Egypt meant that Israel could no longer as- sume it would not be attacked on all sides at once should some border clash with an Arab neighbor escalate. Before reacting, Israel tested its diplomatic defences. Britain, anxious to reduce its expensive overseas military commitments and embroiled in Aden wanted no new involvements. France which has been sympathetic to the Israelis since Suez and has freely sold them advanced war planes, is also unwilling to be- come involved in the current crisis; Paris has to think of re- lations with former colonies such as Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, all Arab nations. The U.S. which has com- mitted itself to the defence of Israel also showed great cau- tion; American oil companies have huge investments in Arab lands, after all; Washington, while believing that the Rus- sians have no intention of spreading into the Middle East, do not want to tempt them by causing a paroxysm of anti- American frenzy among the Arabs in the event U.S. forces intervene on the side of Israel. So the Americans told Israel they would protect its existence but for so long as this existence was not clearly threatened, they would prefer to wait and see. The blockade of Aqaba, Wash- ington said, should be lifted but dipl tic means should be FEDERAL PLAN STARTS JULY 1 ONLY FIVE PREPARED Provinces Lag In Medicare Qualifications By KEN. KELLY A good deal of legislative and administrative work re- mains to be done before the provinces have medical care insurance plans in force that qualify for payments under federal law. Health Minister MacEachen has predicted without reser- vation that all 10 provinces will' be in the federal plan when it comes into force by July 1, 1968. Nevertheless, a Cross-Can- ada Survey by The Canadian Press shows, only half of them, from Ontario west, have taken major legislative steps in anticipation of collect- ing from Ottawa their share of the money. The federal funds are to be paid at the rate of half the national average per capita cost of provincial plans. Cur- rent guess is that this will be between $17 and $18 per capita for an estimated total federal outlay of $360,000,000. But it could go higher. Only Saskatchewan has a plan in operation that /ap- pears to meet the conditions attached to receiving the fed- eral money although minor modifications are expected to be made even in the Saskat- chewan plan. With a variety of political jurisdictions involved, the next 13 months could reveal unseen pitfalls. Essential elements of the insurance policy was sold by isters that Quebec's plan will federal act are four conditions attached,to payments to the provincfs. No difficulty at- taches/ to two -- that insur- anc nefits be portable from province to province and that benefits cover virtually all regular medical and surgical services given by family doc- tors and specialists. The battleground has been confined to the two remaining conditions, closely inter - re- lated. One says that at the start a provincial. plan must cover 90 per cent of the province's population, rising to 95 per cent in three years. And cov- erage must remain. at these levels or the provincial plan will be disqualified from re- ceiving federal money. Finally, and here is the chief difficulty, there is the federal requirement of what has been called public admin- istration of each provincial plan. In federal eyes, this means a provincial plan must be operated by a non - profit agency designated by the province and whose use of public funds is audited by the province. MERELY POST OFFICES This provision involves the agency assessing the amount to be paid on each claim and forwarding the money to the patient, the doctor or, if an a private carrier, to the car- rier for sending on to patient or doctor. The criticism: of this feature has been that private insur- ance carriers and even non- profit, doctor-sponsored plans would be reduced to the status of post offices. Mr. MacEachen's position is that only a publicly-control- led and audited body should 'disburse public funds. The way provincial legisla- tion and regulations deal with this matter will be a key consideration in the federal government's, decision whether a_ provincial plan qualifies for federal funds, The federal act assumes that all provinces will re- ceive payments, unless the federal cabinet specifi- cally rules otherwise. Such a ruling, With the reasons for it, must be communicated to a disqualified province after the July 1, 1968, starting date of the federal program. All four Atlantic provinces have yet to introduce medical care insurance bills although they have all accepted as foundations for their plans the conditions attached to the fed- eral payments. BACKED BY DOCTORS It was freely predicted after the April 17-18 federal-provin- cial conference of health min- meet federal requirements when unveiled. Unexpected endorsation by the province's College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons of the basic principles of the federal plan lent weight to this fore- cast. The endorsation amounted, in effect, to rejec- tion of the criticisms of the federal plan by the Canadian Medical Association and other medical societies. However, a commission studying Quebec's needs still must report and legislation must be drafted and passed by the provincial legislature. The commission's report is expected about July 1. Ontario has a_ legislative foundation laid which could be modified or expanded to fit the federal mould, But the province is at odds with Ot- tawa on several points, espe- cially on the scale of federal payments, Health Minister Matthew B. Dymond argues that use of the national average means Ontario won't recover half its costs, which are generally higher than those of other provinces, He wants a 50-per- cent floor placed under the amount each province gets from Ottawa. He also wants the federal government to pay a share of the costs of administering a provincial plan, tried, and in any case, it did not constitute a threat to Is- real's survival. In the course of inspecting its diplomatic defences only to find them shaky, Israel lost time; the blockade was peacefully in- stalled; if Israel had struck to break the blockade at once, this would have looked less bad than a strike now when the world at large is relieved that no ex- plosion has yet occurred. It is not improbable that the U.S. will advise Israel to fore- bear from the use of force TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 1, 1967...

He himself still talks of barring only strategic car- goes to Israel--wording which leaves room for much negotia- tion. He has also said that he will no longer accept armed UN troops. on his soil, which may mean he will accept unarmed truce supervisors as the price for avoiding the war he does not want. Chesapeake, Prize Of War, Towed To Halifax Harbor. By BOB BOWMAN One of the most dramatic scenes in Canadian history must have been in June, 1813, when H.M.S. Shannon towed the U.S. Chesapeake into Halifax as a prize of war. It was on a Sun- day morning that word spread that Shannon was. bringing Chesapeake into the harbor, and people left church services to cheer the victors. Neverthe- less, it was a sad occasion for many. Shannon had lost 84 men killed or wounded in the sea battle. Chesapeake suffered 146 casualties including Capt. Law- rence who uttered a phrase now famous in the U.S. Navy when he was. dying: 'Don't give up the ship." British prestige was greatly shaken soon after the War of 1812 began when several war- ships of the Royal Navy were sunk or captured by the up- start Americans. Capt. Broke of Shannon vowed that he would get revenge, and he mostly wanted to fight U.S. Constitu- tion which had captured H.M.S. Java and H.M.S. Guerriere. Despite his name, Broke was a wealthy man, and he had one of the best trained crews in the Royal Navy. He always distrib- uted his share of prize money to his sailors. On March 3, 1813, Shannon was a magnifi- cent sight as she sailed from Halifax to try to bring Consti- tution to action. Capt. Broke searched for two months, and captured 25 American ships during the chase, but Constitu- tion managed to escape in a fog. However, when he was off Boston, Broke learned that an- other outstanding American ship Chesapeake was in the harbor, and sent a message to Capt. Lawrence inviting him to come out and fight. Lawrence pted the chall and Chesapeake sailed from Boston on June 1, 1813, accompanied by hundreds of small boats who wanted to see the action. Chesapeake had heavier guns than Shannon but Capt. Broke managed to move in close enough to get his men on board the American. The fighting was all over in 15 minutes, and the Chesapeake was taken in tow for Halifax. Capt, Broke suf- fered a severe head injury in the action, and was a famous figure in Halifax for many years because he wore a band- age.

QUEEN'S PARK Teacher Training Upgraded By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the main items of news out of this year's education estimates concerned teacher training. : Training is being upgraded in both the elementary and sec- ondary school fields, In the latter the much criti- cized summer courses are to be done away with. These courses were started several ydars ago when the bi; ecfpeiet baby crop began to igh school. : The teachers needed to staff the classrooms weren't avail- able. So the department provided that future teachers could qual- ify with two summer courses of six weeks instead of the regular full year at the College of Edu- cation. WERE POPULAR This meant teachers could start to work--and earn money --immediately after graduation from university. So the courses were very popular. But it was recognized by everybody that-they weren't really satisfactory. One obstacle in dropping the courses was a shortage of train- ing facilities. And then the de- mand continued so strong that the teachers produced by these cram courses were absolutely essential. Now. the peak growth has been reached--the first post - war babies are now in their 20s-- and new colleges of education have been, or are being, estab- lished (At Western, Queen's and the University of Ottawa). Education Minister William Davis was able to tell the house that the last of these courses will be held in the summer of 1969. In the elementary field there is to be a gradual upgrading, with more and university train- ing to be progressively required, NEED DEGREES The ultimate goal, of course, as announced by Mr. Davis a year ago will be that all grade school teachers will be required to have university degrees. This is not going to happen overnight, however. In fact there probably will be many of us who won't live to see it, There are many people, of course, who wonder if this ever should be necessary, particue larly for the lower grades in my qo school. n some ways it would s better to have bright ceceadary school graduates, with a leaning towards teaching, handling these classes, than the poorer og niversity gradu- uates that would lik - tracted to the field. ny Pee The work doesn't seem to re- quire a university degree. However authorities saw that the new math and other ad- vances in curricula really call for higher training if the teach- ers are to handle them as well as possible.
