Z THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, Jesuary 26, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- WALKER SEEN PC CANDIDATE IN ONTARIO Local Tories are beating the publicity drums furiously for @n upcoming pow-wow of importance. The nomination convention of the Progressive-Conserva- tive Association for the Riding of Oshawa will be held Thurs- day, February 7, in the Legion Hall, Whitby, 'Prime purpose of the get-together will be to select a @andidate for the next Provincial election. ; The best bet (the odds are at least 100 to 1 in favor) is that Albert V. Walker, the genial chairman of the Prop- erty committee on. the Osh- awa. City Council, will get the nod; this is especially so in view of an announcement today by Hayden Macdonald that he will not seek the nomination becausé of "busi- néss préssure."" Anything can happen at a political nomination conven- tion (as our friend John Lay of Ajax now realizes), but the best bet is that Mr. Walker will be a shoo-in. The 52-year-old employee of the Truck Division at the south GM plant has been a member of City Council since 1955 (for six of these he has been a standing com- mittee chairman). Mr. Walker is also a member of Local 222, UAW-CLC. The special speaker at Whitby February 7 will be the Hon. Leslie Rowntree, Provincial Minister of Labor, ("T. D. "Tommy' Thomas" is my very good friend"), Mr. Rowntree is.no stranger to Oshawa. He gave a skillful and effective display of how to handle hecklers (at that tumultuous Federal election campaign meet in St. Gregory's Hall last June) on his 'Jast appearance here. SOME WOULD EASE "CONFLICT" LAWS ., The current campaign by some elected representatives to get clarification of Provincial laws regarding "Conflict of Interest" clauses may have considerable merit, but is it iécessary ? Is it nothing more than an organized attempt to open the door so that elected representatives at all municipal levels can do business with their affiliate council or, board to which they were appointed by the taxpayers (if they wish)? It is interesting to hear protests that the present Ontario laws are "discriminatory" and "conflicting" in this regard (especially for aldermen or trustees employed by firms doing business with the municipality); but this thought persists in the minds of thousands of taxpayers; if this campaign succeeds it will do much to further weaken the entire moral fibre of the government administrative set-up at municipal level, re- gardless of how well-intentioned some of its sponsors may be. "© It is unfortunate that some of our elected representa- tives (civic-minded citizens who want the community to ad- vance economically, etc.) are deprived of the right to do Pusiness legally this way (a restriction that undoubtedly costs them thousands of dollars annually); on the other jhand, did these same representatives not know of these re- structions when they sought office ? What comes first with some of these representatives, the business-profit motive or the welfare of the community ? Such concessions would come at a time when the public's faith in municipal government (generally speaking across Yhe Province) has been sorely tested, Ontario's education bill, especially, has reached alarming proportions so that the public has become aroused as never before. ; «What would it do to the public's confidence if the gates 'were lowered finally? Would there be any confidence left ? "The taxpayers should speak out emphatically on this point before the situation gets out of hand, before the pro- fessional lobbyists get too far along with their campaign at Rueen's Park. If an elected representative is attracted to the municipal arena purely for selfish motives, the elector. ate should know about it. = Robert Stroud, the recently-departed chairman of the Oshawa Board of Education, put the spotlight squarely on Yhis "Conflict of Interest" issue in his farewell speech this ear. Who would have a better bird's-eye-view of the local ducation scene than the chairman of the school board? Mr. Stroud was disturbed by what he found, especially in the way of purchasing. Does one require a blueprint to un- derstand why he read the much-debated amended 'Conflict @ Interest" clause of the Municipal act to fellow-trustees in 'his farewell address ? If he didn't think some colleague (or "olleagues) had already done business with the Board, he at Jeast suspected that some were about to attempt such tran- sactions, The warning was blunt and most effective because Df Mr. Stroud's background. > Mr. Stroud is not given to sensationalism, rash state- gents, He is an unemotional, deliberate type who thinks out Pretty clearly before he speaks. ® What difference does it make if his timing was bad, if @ was accused by some of making "'political capital" of the ard's misdeeds to advance his career as a Liberal candi- fate in the forthcoming Provincial election? Such criticism Benger The point is this: he made these statements biicly and to date they have hot been refuted, or retracted. * What else would any good citizen (in possession of such 4nformation) do? Would he clam up and thus deprive the Dfficial Board record of such information ? : Mr. Stroud is to be commended. It takes courage to peak out thus. Too bad we haven't more elected representa- }ives like him (also like Trustee Margaret Shaw who also makes her strong criticisms of the Board often and loud). « What is a trustee? Webster's, briefly, describes him or geal "A person regarded with trust or to whom some- tte td entrusted; now, one trusted to keep or administer ething." 4 . é "re « * HON. H. L. ROWNTREE . .

(CP Wirephoto) By NICHOLAS TURNER SAIGON (Reuters)--A_ politi- cal struggle within the ranks of South Viet Nam's administra. tion is causing concern to some Western diplomats who believe it may weaken the govern. ment's drive against Communist subversion. Tension between two factions in the country's ruling circle first became publicly evident during recent debates in the National Assembly, although scape undercurrents have n noticeable for some time. The assembly, normally re- garded as a placid institution, suddenly came to life last month when a group of depu- ties fired a barrage of critical questions at top-ranking govern. ment ministers during the §ud- get debate. Most of these ques- tions came from deputies rep- resenting constituencies in the northern provinces. Many are regarded as being closely connected with Presi- dent Ngo Dinh Diem's brother, Ngo Dinh Canh, who holds no offical title but is highly influ- ential in the administration of the area, The questions were aimed at a group of ministers generally regarded as supporters of Ngo Dinh Nhu, another brother of the president's and his political adviser. CONSIDERED STRONGEST Among the ministers was Nguyen Dinh Thuan, who assists the president in handling the vital portfolio of national de. fence and is considered the most powerful minister in the government, Another was the minister for civic action, responsible for key programs in the government's nti-Communist campaign, who could not obtain the assembly's WEATHER FORECAST Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 4:30 a.m. Synopsis: Snow over Southern Ontario is expected to produce only small accumulations this morning, amounting to an inch or less in most areas.

Viet Nam Executive approval for his budget until he prmoised a full explanation of the administration's policy on press censorship. Following the budget debate there have been reports current here suggesting Thuan and sev- eral other ministers associated with him were likely to be re- placéd soon. Observers believe these re- ports may have been "planted" by the ministers' opponents, who were said to have at. tempted to undermine Diem's confidence in the ministers by connecting them with two re- --" exposed financial scan- s. Most political observers here believe the struggle does not re- flect any fundamental differ- ence of opinion between the president's brothers, although the factions appear to be fight- ing under the banners of two of them. BUILDING IMAGE Nhu has recently built up a considerable public image as the driving force behind the strategic (fortified) hamlet pro. gram, cornerstone of the gov. ernment's anti-Communist cam. paign. The Nhus live with the president in Saigon's Gia Long Palace, Canh is aman of mystery. He lives in Hue, the old royal capital of Viet Nam 400 miles north of here, and does not pub. licly participate in government affairs, Although sometimes de. scribed as 'governor'. of the area, he has in fact no official position. He is reported to be more anti-foreign -- and therefore more anti-American--than his brothers in Saigon, and United States officials are concerned about the extent of his influ. ence, The eldest brother of the president, Roman Catholic Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thue, also lives in Hue, Because of his se- niority, his influence would be great in the event of a family dispute.

The French leader isn't keen about the American recipe, MOVES TO CLIMAX Actually, the problem of wéstérn independéncée has for years been moving inexorably towards its present place in the sun. Various countries have con- sidéred it worthwhile to give up chunks of national sovereignty te such international groupings as NATO, the Common Market and the United Nations. Most Western leaders have approached the problem with considerable realism, although they may not stress the point at home, "Prime Minister Macmillan's decision at Nassau last month to accept Polaris missiles for Britain in place of the Skybolt PC's Agree To Keep Present Commons Rules; OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment is prepared to carry on under the present Commons rules rather than take special steps to speed up Commons ap- proval of the 1962-63 spending program. Veterans Minister Churchill, government leade in the House, said Friday: '"'We will proceed in the usual way. They (the op-| position): can have as many) supply motions a sthey want." Mr. Churchill's statement means that in the course of the next few weeks there are likely to be a series. of major two-day debates on which opposition parties can attempt to move non-confidence in the govern- ent. House rules provide for five more supply motions to bring the full spending program be- fore the Commons for detailed study. It is estimated that these two-day supply debates plus de- tailed examination of more than 600 individual spending items) must be completed by about) March 8 if the government is| to be able to meet its bills. Earlier negotiations among the four political parties on a government proposal to waive four of the five supply debates collapsed when Liberals and New Democrats refused to give the required unanimous con- ,\the tune, Kennedy Recipe Sours de Gaulle rocket was a case in point.

At the same time Washing. ton appears to be joining France's Common Market col- leagues and Britain in préssure moves to soften de Gaullé's stand. é George Ball, U.S. undersecre- tary of state, has indirectly hinted that de Gaulle is influ- enced by a "'nostalgic longing for a world that never was."

He also said he has obtained bipartisan support from other U.S. congressmen and senators representing states bordering the Great Lakes. So far the U.S. administration reaction has been cool.
