2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, October 23, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN UN Council Expected To Raise Diefs Plan WOODS, GORDON REPORT -- PROS AND CONS Dear Mr. Gearin: After studying the Woods, Gordon Report for Oshawa I have come to the following conclusions: I cannot see where the City is going to save any money by consolidating about nine of these departments into one -- these appointees are not paid and donate their services free to the City. The great weakness is how could one committee oheiinty take the same interest in some specific operation as is done now? And if one committee is going to do a satisfactory job governing all these departments it would certainly be a fulltime job, eventually requiring paid personnel ata further cost. Certainly their interests would be diversified looking after the cemetery operation one minute, dog control the next and then some form of recreation. There are always good ; citizens that feel that they a have an obligation to their community and offer their services free wherever they can best serve. By separating the citizens as a whole from the local administration does not seem a good policy for, as time goes on, these are our future councillors and are able to show their worth in the years preceding. The weakness I have no- ticed in the work of commis- "siéns and where savings could and should be made is in the handling of budgets. For instance, a commission is given a budget of X dollars to work with and, providing they keep within that budget, it is considered, good busi- hess, rather than saving as ROBERT E. WILSON much as possible and returning to the City the unused por- tion of the budget. In other words, the attitude seems to be: "Well, we've got the money in our budget so let's buy it. This, I feel, should fall on the shoulders of the council- lors -- two, at best, of which usually serve on a commission, and are put there solely as the "watchdogs of the treasury'. "I feel if this were sincerely practised many hundreds of dollars could be saved. ROBERT E, WILSON REPORT GAINS SOME WARM SUPPORT EDITOR'S NOTE): Mr. Wilson can speak with authority. He has rendered years of useful service, without remun- eration, in responsible civic posts, such as the chairmanship of the Children's Arena Commission. Yet it would be difficult to subscribe to most of his state- ments above. The proposed consolidation under control of one paid, fulltime department head -- to be known as the Parks and Property Commissioner -- would be highly desirable. It would add up to better administration, economy. It's not a question of whether we | should do it, but of whether we can afford not to do it. Oshawa is no longer in the tank-class grade. The Woods, Gordon Report, in this in- stance, has hit the nail on the head, It would be folly to ig- nore it (and costly), 'The confusion and waste from the present operational set- up in the affected depart- ments is too obvious. This point has been stressed many HARRY MILLEN times in highly - influential municipal circles, such as the Board of Parks Management. At least four members of the Parks Board (Chairman Harry Millen; John G. Geikie, Dr. R. E. Cox and Alf Brise- bois) today heartily endorsed the recommendations of the W-G Report in regards to amalgamation of the boards and committees and the appointment of a commissioner. Their evidence is impressive; not only have they long records of public service, but the Board on which they enjoy membership would be automatically dissolved if the proposals are implemented Mr. Millen put it this way "There has been too much disorganization, lack of communication between Recreation and Parks for one thing. Where does responsibility start and end in such cases, especially when we are trying to plan our parks for the future, There is far too much duplication of setvices, It was recognized around the Board several years ago that the above-mentioned set-up was antiquated, costly. I am for the recommendations because they spell out more efficiency of operation and subsequently lower taxation -- isn't that .what most of us are striving for?" Dr. Cox, a Board member for more than 15 years, said the present set-up was adequate several years ago when the department's paid personnel never totalled more than six, when work crews were given bus tickets and assigned to jobs. "Last year the Board's expenditures totalled $153,689 and the total of paid personnel was well over the 35 figure at peak. 'Oshawa is growing fast. We can't continue to operate the Board much longer under the old set-up. PARKS COMMISSIONER SEEKS KEY POST Operating under the Parks and Property Commissioner swould be the Recreation Committee, Parks Board, Memorial Stadium, North Oshawa Community Centre, Children's Arena, and the Cemetery Board. ; Between them they have 30 appointed and 10 aldermanic 'members. Bach board reports independently to Council, al- though to some extent running parallel to the interests of the Property, Fire and General Purpose Standing Committee, The employees of each board are paid by Council although they 'operate quite independently of both Council and one another, in groups of three, four or more. Three other civic functions involve similar work, but which report neither to a board nor to a department head, and are administered directly by the Property Committee -- Airport, Dog Control and City Property. The duties of the Parks Commissioner would include maintenance of all City parks, and of Union Cemetery; main- tenance of all buildings at present controlled by the board 'and committees mentioned above; maintenance of grounds and buildings at the airport; co-ordination and administra- tion through the Recreation Director of the City recreation program; acquisition, maintenance and disposal of property required for City development; and operation of the City Dog Control. The Woods, Gordon recommendations under "Parks, Recreation and Allied Activities' (are among the more worthwhile proposals made. Some of our more dedicated civic workers like Mr, Wilson could find themselves out in the cold without even a commit- tee post if the recommendations are carried out, but should that make any difference if these citizens have their eyesights on a more important goal -- establishment of a smooth- running, economical municipal set-up, that could mean a great pins in tax dollars. OTTAWA (CP) -- Prime Min-! ister Diefenbaker expects his {proposal for an on-the-spot in- spection of military installations jin Cuba by eight neutral na- |tions to be raised in the United Nations Security Council. Canada is not currently a |member of the council, but Mr. Diefenbaker indicated to report- jers Monday night that he be- \lieves his idea will win support 'from Security Council mem- | bers. If the idea is vetoed in the Security Council, the issue will go to a General Assembly meet- ing where the big five powers |do not have the veto. partment officials said the cri- sis was too urgent to wait for a neutral - nation inspection group to go into action. Mr, Diefenbaker made the proposal to a hushed House of Commons Monday night an hour after President Kennedy's dra- matic statement on the Cuban crisis, WINS SUPPORT The prime minister won gen- eral support from all opposition parties. He appealed for calm resolve to meet the crisis. This was no time for panic, but one of those grave occasions when normal differences bet ween. political The Diefenbaker plan, how- lever, was given a chilly recep- tion in Washington, State de-| parties dissolve, he said. | Opposition Leader Pearson endorsed President Kennedy's INTERPRETING THE NEWS By CARMAN. CUMMING The undeclared India - China | war on the "roof of the world" is placing seemingly intolerable strains on the strange political triangle linking Moscow, Peking and New Delhi: The three capitals, among them are controlling more than 1,000,000,000 people, for years have swept conflicts under the rug whenever possible. The advantages of doing so-- of maintaining at least a fac- ade of friendship--have been overwhelming. All have big India-China War Strains Red Link tions at the very time Chinese tanks were crunching across the show of the disputed terri- tory high in the Himalayas. In- dia, still recognizing the Peking regime, indicated it would con- tinue to back Communist China's admittance. CAUGHT IN MIDDLE Moscow, with nothing to gain and everything to lose in an India . China war, seemed al- most in the position of a man with two quarrelling wives. Under a mutual assistance agreement with China, Russia enough problems at Home with- jout stepping on the toes of their} biggest neighbors. Now India and China navel reached an impasse too big to |go under the rug. And all three }capitals are being forced to re-| | appraise their policies. | | FRIENDS NO LONGER In New Delhi the Indian gov- ernment is under attack for At \legedly pandering to the Chi- nese for too long. | The independent Indian ex-| jpress charges that the "politi- cal schizophrenia which has |bedevilled our China policy,) |which has led us to regard the} Red Chinese as friends while) they have treated us as foes,| | must end. Red China is our) jenemy No. 1." The times of India, also inde-| pendent, says the government has refused to "see and recog- nize clearly the aggressive de-| |signs of the Chinese." Ironically, the question of Communist China's member- ship came before the United Na- is obliged to come to its ally's aid in the event of aggression. But the Kremlin knows that any decision to aid China would alienate not only India but a large part of the neutral world. If it fails to do so, on the other hand, -the already frayed | ties with Peking could snap. The Soviet quandary is re- flected in the fact that, at least until Monday, not a line had been printed in any of its ma- \jor papers about the weekend |border fighting. For Peking, the fence-sitting|; position of its big Communist partner must be a bitter pill in- deed--especially when India is|P° using Soviet-made cargo planes to supply its troops and is seck- jing to buy Soviet MiG fighters. In the end Russia, using its influence on both sides, may hold the key solution or at least containment of the border /trouble, It will have-a silent ally in the Himalayan winter, ex- pected before long to make mofe in bringing the Cuban Is- sue before both the United Na- tions and the Organization of American States, He said that although Canada is not an OAS menmiber, this country 6 seek to play a role in its delib- rations e i Mr. Diefenbaker told report- ers outside the chamber later that he did not think this was possible. Canada could attend an OAS meeting only as an ob- server. INSPECT INSTALLATIONS Mr. Diefenbaker's proposal is that the eight non-aligned mem- bers of the 18-nation Geneva disarmament conference be in- vited to conduct an on-site in- spection of military installa- ioe in Cuba. The eight mem- jopia, bers are Brazil, Mexico, Ethi- Nigeria, "Sweden, ia, |Burma, and the United Arab | Republic. | If Russia and Cuba have not been building up their offensive weapons potential in Cuba, they ehould have nothing to fear from such an inspection, Mr. Diefenbaker said. His proposal was reminiscent) of his suggestion to Russia in) the United Nations in 1958 that! change areas of arctic lands for inspection, "If you have. noth- ing to fear, why fear it?" he asked Russia then. Speaking slowly and feelingly in the Commons, Mr. Diefen- baker described the Kennedy speech as sombre and challeng- ing, and said the revelation that Cuba has Russian missiles "con- stitutes a threat to most of the cities of North America, includ- ing our major cities in Canada." He based his suggestion of a neutral on-site inspection on his belief that "what people all over the world want and will want is a full and complete un- derstanding of what is taking place in Cuba." Mr. Pearson said what must be done is to prévent the shock of the situation from resulting in "either a feeling of despair and helplessness on the one hand, or panic on the other." "In any steps the government of Canada can take to prevent this situation from deteriorating into the indescribable horror of nuclear war, and in any role it is possible for the government to play, it will get the full sup- port of every member on this side of the House." Social: Credit Leader Robert; Thompson said Canada had a moral obligation to make its stand clearly understood Not only was Cuba a crisis point, but the Berlin situation was serious, and the Red China- India border fighting probably "has been used as a convenient fighting impossible. smoke screen." | | | | | WEATHER FORECA CONTINUING COOL ST Mainly Cloudy Weather Seen Forecasts issued by the Tor-| Forecast Temperatures onto weather office at 5 a.m.:/Low tonight, High Wednesday Synopsis: Northerly winds | Wind will bring the coldest air for the|wiMGS0r -.+-++++ uo 8 season thus far down over|>t: Thomas.. dd southern Ontario today.

By JOHN LeBLANC TORONTO (CP)--Evidence of cial club charters of some ma- jor Toronto gambling houses was given to the Ontario royal commission on crime Monday in questioning of Provincial Secre- tary John Yaremko. The commission heard of one club--the Omega -- where the Toronto police first recom- mended cancellation in 1954 and which lost its licence only in 1961. ' Another--the Bellevue Bridge and Social Club--was notified formally by the provincial sec- retary's department in 1959 that. its charter was to be cancelled but the case has dragged out until now because of legal tech- Cancellation proceedings also are pending in the case of the Somerset Club, linked by police with a group estimated to be doing a $6,000,000-a-year book- making business and recom- mended for. charter revocation by Metropolitan Toronto pblice in July.

Matheson (L--Leeds). During the last six weeks four New Democratic Party counsel Patrick Lawlor as the commis- sion neared the close of its pub- lic sittings. Conclusion of Mr. Yaremko's testimony today--68th day. of sit- tings--may bring an end to pub- lic hearings. However, the com- missioner, Mr. Justice W. D. Roach, took under advisement a request by NDP chief coun- sel Andrew Brewin that closing arguments of the various law- yers be made publicly instead of in private as the commission has planned. The commissioner also re- served decision on a second re quest of Mr. Brewin that it make public at least part of the testimony given by ranking po- lice authorities concerning that part of the inquiry dealitg with Ontario crime generally. The police officials are being) heard in private sessions. Mr. Yaremko's evidence Mon- day consisted of cross-esamina- tion by the opposition party lawyers on earlier testimony by the minister in defence of his department's administration of social club charters, a major pe of attack in Liberal ader John Wintermeyer's speech of last November which touched off the long inquiry. EXPLAINS DELAY In explaining delay in closing the Somerset, Mr. Yaremko said he had to find sufficient cause for cancelling a charter, and he was unable by law to suspend it. Also, preparation of meterial for the royal commis- sion had sidetracked some proj- ects. The current proceedings against the Bellevue Bridge and Social Club had been launched by former provincial secretary Mackinnon 'Phillips in 1959, at which time Toronto Police Chief James Mackey linked it to a report that a group of Ameri- cans was planning to '"také] over" chartered clubs in Tor- onto. However, the club's lawyer had stepped in, right after can- cellation was launched, with a demand that the proceedings be stayed because the club was su- ing a group of police raiders for lama and Trooper Neil Nor- charged with gaming cOnspl- racy in connection with the club. As a@ result, the govern- ment has refrained from push- ing the cancellation issue so as not to run up against the other court actions. Mr, Lawlor questioned why the department should have de- layed cancellation proceedings because of the court actions, de- claring they had nothing to do with the issue. Mr. Yaremko said that can celling the charter would have One Satellite Could Supply Large Area TOONTO (CP) -- A single high - powered communications Probe Evidence Shows Delays In Cancelling Club Charters the effect of wiping out the plaintiff (the club) in the tres- pass action. He was not sure that was a right thing to do. NO EXPLANATION There was no explanation for a long sap in action against the Omega Club, first recom- mended for cancellation by po- lice in 1954. This proposal was rejected ¥ the department in 1955, although an unsigned memorandum in the ¢lub's de- partmental file said it was ob- vious that its cash and minute books had been doctored. Another cancellation recom-° mendation came early last year from Toronto Chief Mackey, who called the Omega a "breed-* ing ground for crime" and a "menace." The charter was cancelled three months later, after the department overcame some doubts as to whether it had enough information to jus- tify the move, ' satellite could supply ground areas from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 Square miles in size with televi- sion broadcasts, N.
