THOUGHT FOR TODAY Monopolist: The fellow who. keeps an elbow oneach arm of sn be Oshatwa & et' to 16. 4 sunny and warm southwest. 10 - OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1963 TWENTY-FOUR PAGES 'TOMMY' THOMAS AFTER DEFEAT Robarts Promises = Aid Federal Unity LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- Pre- mier John Roberts, with strengthened support and a weakened opposition, enters his first full term of office promis- ing quick legislative action and full co-operation with the fed- eral government. f * And the 46-year-old premier, who a little less than two years ago took over the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Con- servative party from Leslie Frost, says he will make good on his election promises. Smiling under trying physical circumstances and obviously pleased with his party's over- whelming success Wednesday in his first election as premier, Mr, Robarts pledged in a vic- tory statement to voters in his own riding of London North that the "confidence you have shown will not be misplaced. .. . What I have said I will do, I will do." In a prepared victory state- ment, which he distributed to reporters and read over radio and television, the pre- mier promised to do all possible "to keep Canada united." Then, in a back room where he was questioned by half a dozen reporters, the premiér promised to call the legislature in'o session "'just about as soon as I can do so"' to enact legisla- tion enabling the province to take advantage of the \$400,000,- 000 federal municipal loaf pro- gram. WILL BE: SHORT The session, which legally could not be called before the third week of October, would be a short one--"one or two days"| --and he hoped municipaiiities| in the province could benefit from the federal loans this win- ter. The premier, whose personal re-election was obvious almost as soon as the first few results were available, received a rous- ing cheer when he arrived at the downtown hotel campaign headquar'ers shortly after the 8 p.m. poll-closing time. London North gave him a margin of 8,288 over his near- est opponent. In 1959 he won by 3,238 votes. Mr. Robarts, with 78 seats compared to the 64 he had when! the election was called and the 71 Premier Frost won in the last general election in 1959, said he had set himself no spe- cific number of seats as a goal: "My goal was a working ma- jority," he told reporters. He said Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer's personal defeat in Waterloo North 'did not sur- prise me. I had reports of it, this last week in particular." Although his statement made no reference to pensions, the premier was obviously referring to that subject when he prom- ised co-operation with the Lib- eral federal .government. Mr. Wintermeyer and federal Health Minister Judy LaMarsh had lined up against the premier on pensions during the campaign. The Conservatives wanted to try to mesh an Ontario pen- sion scheme already on. the books with the proposed federal Canada Pension Plan. The pro- vineial Liberals, backed pub- licly by Miss LaMarsh, argued that the province should get out of the pension business alto- gether. | PM Also Sees | Co-Operation With Ontario OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson said today his government is anxious to co-op- erate with Ontario Premier Ro- barts in federal-provincial pen- sion and municipal grant mat- ters. Going to a morning cabinet meeting, Mr. Pearson said he had no comment.on the outcome of Wednesday's Ontario election except to express regret at the personal defeat of provincial Leader Wintermeyer. "I have a. high regard for him," Mr. Pearson said. "I was interested to listen to Mr. Robarts say last night he was anxious to co-operate with the federal government and I can assure you we are anxious to reciprocate." The prime minister said the cabinet session, expected to last all day, will be primarily con- cerned with the resumption of the parliamentary session next week. One of the first items be- fore parliament will be a bill imposing a federal trusteeship on five Great Lakes unions, un- less their disputes are settled among themselves.
