2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, September 14, 1962 : ' GOOD EVENING wore About SIU By JACK GEARIN 'Sheehan "ARTHUR C. STONE HEADS KINSMEN + "*" When Arthur C. (for Corby) Stone steps into the presi- 'dency of Oshawa's hustling, bustling Kinsmen Club this month, he will be taking over a job for which he. has served a long apprenticeship. : j : Not only is Stone the son of a man who has been a Kinsman since 1944 (Arthur Stone), he has come to this position of prominence in the City's service club world 'by dint of hard work in a series of responsible offices (director, twice; bulletin edi- tor; vice-president; and chairman of most of the committees). He was elected first vice- president last May and took the big step upward when Tony Goepfrich, the incom- in, sident, was trans- ferred recently by his firm to Chatham. Stone, the 30-year-old Oshawa-born GM _ supervi- sor (in the data processing department), will have his ARTHUR C. STONE hands full with the club's biggest project when he takes office -- that is the Kins- men's new civic centre at the corner of Colborne street and McMillan drive. The official opening of this is scheduled for next November, but the Oshawa Shrine Club will use part of it on September 29 for a reception in connection with the celebration in honor of Col. R, S, McLaughlin, "Col- onel Sam" has been a Shriner for 60 years. More than 450 Ontario Shriners are expected here that day to pay him tribute. 4/7 LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck is back on the job after undergoing minor eye surgery that confined him to the hospital for three days. . . . Oshawa's Joan Walker -- she is Mrs, James Walker in private life -- has had another book published. It is "Marriage of Harlequin" (McClelland and Stewart Ltd.) described by the publishers as "A bio- graphical novel of the important years in the life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan'. Her experiences in the gold-mining town of Val d'Or, Quebec, provided the background for her book, "Pardon My Parka" which won the 1953 Stphen Leacock Medal for humor. . . . Tommy Gilbert (whose one-man cam- paign to rid Oshawa of the bagpipes never did get too high off the ground) sends along a newspaper photo to show that his thinking is not too far.off centre -- it shows Jerry Mut- tum in kilt attire as he practises alone on the pipes in the hills near Sun Valley, Idaho, because the natives were so annoyed with his music. CORPS PLANS DRUMHEAD SERVICE Oshawa Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps Association has almost completed plans for its second annual parade and drumhead service scheduled for Saturday, September 22. Committee Chairman Jack Harper announced today that the parade will leave Alexandra Park at 2:15 p.m, and pro- ceed to Memorial Park by way of Simcoe street. Last year more than 1200 members of the Canadian Corps Association from various Ontario points participated. Mr. Harper said that this number would be augmented with several new units this year, including the Whitby Brass Band. MERCHANTS IN SOUTH PAY TAXES, TOO! Dear Mr. Gearin: I would like to say something in reference to your August 31 column entitled: "Let's clean up The Downtown Area"'. Hw about an article: "Let's Clean up the Simcoe street south Area". The area particularly dirty is between Hall street and Highway 401. Here the merchants at least try to sweep the gutters once a week, but uptown they have a man with a pushcart. Once when I swept the gutter and put the sand and trash in a paper carton the city sanitation.pick-up truck refused to take it. This was probably because they saw what was going into the carton. I don't mind the downtown area to be kept clean. I think it's great. But we merchants at the southend pay taxes, too, and would like some sort of pushcart clean-up service. The thing that takes the cake is when we phoned City Hall and asked, we are told, that, if we did it ourselves it would keep city costs down. Since we pay taxes Itke every- one else, then, if we do the sweeping, then we should get a reduction in taxes. Sincerely, TAX-PAYING CITIZEN (EDITOR5S NOTE: This letter was unsigned.) 2 U.S. NAVY SKIPPERS SAY "THANK YOU" The skippers of the two U.S. Navy escort ships that visited Oshawa August 15 -- the U.S.S. Whitehall and the U.8.S. Amherst -- have written President Gordon Riehl of the Oshawa C. of C., in part, as follows: My dear Mr. Riehl: We are grateful to you and the Chamber of Commerce for a memorable visit to Oshawa. Our visit will long be re- membered by the officers and men, many of whom were visiting a Canadian port for the first time. On the subject of Parkwood and the illustrious Col. R. S. McLaughlin, may I say that probably never again will most of our group have the opportunity to visit and talk with an outstanding and industrial leader, civic benefactor, and fine person as he. The sincere, generous spirit of the people of Oshawa we shall long remember. This interest in visiting our ships and talking with our men was appreciated deeply by all: of us. Seven thousand, nine hundred people visited our ship and that is more in a single day than ever before. With pride, may I ask you to extend a personal "thank "you" on behalf of the U.S.S. Whitehall to all of the members - Of the Chamber, without whose interest and hard work this 'trip would never have come about. ' Very truly yours, W, W. ELPERS, Lieutenant, U.S. Navy, : Commanding officer. Dear Mr. Riehl: The officers and men of the U.S.8. Amherst wish to ex- Dress our appreciation for the wonderful reception afforded Us in your fine City. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and only wish we could have remained a few days longer. Please inform Mr. Douglas Fisher and the many: other ' civic-minded people of Oshawa, that their efforts to show , the U.S. Navy a good time were taken advantage of by all >and were tremendously successful. ' Sincerely, GEORGE W. JENSEN, Lieutenant, U.S. Navy commanding. } TORONTO (CP) -- Michael Sheehan, former official of the Seafarers International Union of Canada, charged Thursday that the SIU made "sweetheart deals" with Canada Steamships Lines for its ocean ships and with severa) other shipping companies. Testifying before the federa: investigation into waterfront la- bor violence and shipping dis- ruptions, the 200-pound union leader said the SIU put "pres- sure" on many shipping com- panies, but never troubled Can- ada Steamships--one of the big- gest marine firms in the coun- try. Mr. Sheehan was continuing his one-man expose of the Sea- farers Union for which he worked for 11 years until kicked out in 1961, For 10 hours Wednesday and Thursday, the Liverpool - born sailor and unionist levelled a se- ries of searing charges against his former union and its leader, American-born Hal C, Banks. He accused Mr. Banks Thurs- day of using SIU members and money to fix up his suburban Montreal home and to equip it with a huge deep-freeze, televi- sion set, liquor and $10,000 to $20,000 worth of power tools and machinery. HIRED 'GOONS' He also contended that Mr. Banks hired "goons and muscle- men" to "work over" any dis- sident members, officials or ri- vals, He told of two kinds of "'treat- ment" used by the union--ihe "pavement treatment" and the "elephone treatment." Mr. Sheehan said Mr. Banks told him the "pavement treat- ment" meant getting a man's legs across the pavement, then Relates The "telephone treatment" meant phoning a person day-in and day-out, rarely saying, any:' ting, just waiting for a while, then hanging up. Since leaving the SIU, said Mr.. Sheehan, he has received this kind of treat- ment--so much so he has had his telephone number changed three times and unlisted, Mr. Sheehan testified that since becoming president the ri- val Canadian Maritime Union against the SIU, he was shot at from a passing car outside his iuwume in Montreal. "The blast missed my legs by just a few inches," he said. > Mr, Sheehan said there was always "'at least one goon or muscleman" hanging around the SIU office in Montreal, run- ning errands for Mr. Banks and available for "'little dirty jobs,"'. IMPORTED BOXER He said Mr. Banks imported a heavyweight boxer from Sac- ramento, Calif., to "work over' Capt. Frank Walsh of the Ca- nadian Merchant Service Guild during the 1957 strike against Canadian National Steamships. The muscleman was paid $1,000 and driven to the United States border after his job. Other SIU tactics, said Mr. Sheehan, included pearing. an undertaker to a man's home "to measure the body," Mr. Sheehan said Mr. Banks forced an abject apology from a captain of the Hindman Transportation Company ship who had made "disparaging re- Ranks. A photostatic copy of the cap- tain's letter, sent Oct. 7, 1054 to Mr. Banks was read at the hearing by Mautice Wright, lawyer for the Canadian Labor Congress. In it, the captain said: jumping on them to break the bones. 'My job and my family's wel- Milton 0.

In deciding whether neutrality was breached by Cuban exiles, the U.S. government may find that public sentiment can make a mockery of the federal stat- utes. The justice department con- tinues to maintain it is investi- gating whether the Neutrality Act was violated by the young Miami-based Cuban exiles who saged a hit-and-run machine- gun action in a Havana suburb Aug. 24 and then returned to Miami, But officials suggest it may take a long time to complete that investigation and until a determination can be made in this case, no restrictions are being imposed on the exiles in- volved. This, of course, is a sham. While the legal aspects of the case appear clear, the U.S. gov- ernment would not dare--even if it so desired--to prosecute the individuals involved, for such a move would only inflame an angered public crying out for the blood of Fidel Castro. ACTION FORBIDDEN The Neutrality Act forbids the use of American territory to mount a military expedition against a country with which the U.S. is not at war. The issue involved is a grave one, for an unauthorized expedition could force the U.S. into a war it does not want. The New York Times points out editorially that such an escapade as the exiles staged--and which was followed by a second incident -- 'could embroil the United States in serious international difficul-| ties," That, of course, raises the question of whether the two) skirmishes were completely un- authorized, In the first case, the} exiles took off in two boats and said they didn't violate the Neu- trality Act because they didn't get their arms until they were ouside U.S. waters, That ap- pears to be a_ technicality. Where did they get the arms? They wouldn't say. In the second instance, a group of exiles known as Alpha 66 used what appeared to he a converted naval patrol boat to machine-gun and bomb three ships on the Cuban shore. Again the question of where the arms were obtained was not resolved. But it is known the headquar- ters of the exiles is in Miami Neutrality Act ry eee -- S. Sham and that federal agents are well acquainted with these organiza- tions and their movements. In- deed, there has been specula- tion that some federal agency may even be encouraging the hit-and-run actions through the provision of funds, arms and equipment, Fide] Castro has already ac- cused the U.S. government of instigating the actions and the fact that the U.S. was found to be firmly behind the ill-fated Cuban exile invasion a year ago tends to add support to the Cas- tro view. But it may also be significant that though Castro has been venting his anger through prop- aganda blasts, he has refrained from retaliatory action. Each tay the flow of Soviet arms makes the Cuban regime stronger and more -capable 0! defending itself. Castro knows that all he has to do to invite a full war is to | Justice *W. D.

Thursday explored the possibility of the Ontario royal commission on crime looking into recent revivals of old horse- racing charters, but the idea made no headway. "That ends the matter," Mr, ;. com-| missioner said after inquiries by Liberal counsel Willard Es- tey established that such organi- zations do not come under the head of social clubs, the subject} currently under investigation by the commission. ' Mr. Estey's feeler -- which drew objection from Provincial Secretary John Yaremko--was prompted by successful" moves by two organizations to obiain racing dates in the Ottawa and Windsor areas by gathering up old and long-dormant racing as- sociation charters and bringing them to life. One line of commission in- quiries has been the question of revivals of disused social club charters, a practice provincial government authorities now frown on. (Major figures in the Windsor Raceway project include. W. Earl Rowe, Progressive Con- servative Commons member for Dufferin-Simcoe, while James Baskin, Progressive Conserva- tive Commons member for Ren- frew South, is connected with the Ottawa area move.) Other commission develop- ments today: 1, Deputy Provincial Secre- tary R. J. Cudney testified he was over-ridden four times by cabinet ministers after turning down social club charter appli- cations, once in the face of a police report that two major Toronto bookies were club 2. The commission looked into the question of tightening up the statutory definition of social clubs, with a view to curbing their use as blinds for gambling, and Mr. Justice Roach indi- cated he might make a recom- mendation along this line. 8. Evidence was given that federally - licensed clubs have been a problem for Ontario au- thorities but that licensees of other provinces have not. 4, The commission adjourned indefinitely pending disposition of gambler Vincent Feeley's at- tempt to have the Supreme Court of Canada hear his claim that Mr. Justice Roach should be disqualified. His plea for leave to go before the court is to be heard at Ottawa Tuesday Should Feeley obtain leave to have the full court hear his case, the commissioner indi- cated, the much - interrupted commission hearings will re- main in recess until it does so. If Feeley is turned down at the outset, the sessions agar will resume Wednesday wit the witness likely to be Feeley, now in jail here as he awaits the machine-gun the Miami coast- line. But it is apparent that though he has the promise of rotection from the Soviet Un- ion, Castro doesn't want a war.
