Council will be without the services of His Worship Mayor Lyman Giffard (convalescing in St. Michael's Hospital, Tor- onto), and Alderman Cecil Bint, chairman of the Board of Works, who is not expected from his Florida vacation for two more weeks. Members of the Coronation Home and School Association will attend Monday's open meeting in Council Chamber in response to an invitation from Alderman Gordon Attersley, their guest speaker recently. The CHSA is thus setting a good example for other civic- minded groups to follow in taking time out to personally attend this meeting. READER PLEADS FOR PENSIONERS, WIDOWS Mrs. Evalyn Cherry of 265 Jasper phoned in to congratu- late the anonymous author of last Tuesday's letter herein (Sees Infringement on Taxpayers' Rights") which made a strong plea for pensioners and widows hard hit by the new younicipal tax collecting system in Oshawa, which makes the first installment due in February instead of May, Mrs. Cherry: 'The City should not penalize such people as Said pensioners and widows, whose financial plight is difficult enough. Let the new rule apply to those people who can afford it. Remember, many of these same pensioners and widows helped build the City of Oshawa. Are we going to show our gratitude by putting the squeeze on them in the twilight of their days?" Here is another letter in response to the aforementioned column ('Sees Infringement, etc . Dear Sir: Re bs In reading letter in the February 11 paper, it makes one realize just how much is being put over us taxpayers. I think you should print the name of its author, and we . @ould run him or her in our next election, He could be quite * gan improvement on several of our present aldermen, or even the mayor.

The search for her took a new twist early this week when the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ontario Provincial spent hundreds of hours on the case. ; OPP re for the first. time. The case hitherto had been in the hands of the Bowman- ville Town Police and the Bowmanville detachment of the OPP. Announcement of the CIB's entry was made this week by Crown Attorney Geoff Bonneycastle of Cobourg who said: "Both the Bowmaav lis and the Bowmanville Town Pot'ce have worked relentlessly on this case since last September -- they feel that the entry of the CIB will allow for a fresh approach to the investiga- tion and will assist it in every way. Each unit has There has been no relaxing of the investigation in any way." The entry of the CIB into the case will be welcomed, especially by those hundreds of district citizens, including from Oshawa, who participated in an extensive search missing girl shortly after September 14. question will be asked why the services of this highly specialized auxiliary branch of the OPP were not re- quested long before this far advanced date? Regardless of the efficiency of the Bowmanville OPP detachment and the Bowmanville Town Police, it became obvious soon after the girl's disappearance that this would be a difficult case to golive and that many police hands would be needed. Bloodhounds last September 20 traced the girl's tracks from the bus departure point in Bowmanville through an orchard to the CNR tracks to Highway No, 2 where the trail was lost. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Harvey Greenley of Maple Grove -- her dad is employed by Duplate Canada Lid. She is described as: five feet, two inches high; medium build; weight 100 pounds; with short brown hair in bangs.

That will be the true test of whether Ruby can get a fair trial in Dallas, Brown said. Chief Defence Lawyer Melvin Belli said he is still convinced Ruby cannot get a fair trial in Dallas and that he might spend an entire day questioning a sin- glo prospective juror, District Attorney Henry Wade said he was pleased with the decision. Ruby is charged with murder in the killing of Lee Harvey Os- wald, 24, the professed Marxist charged with assassinating President Kennedy here Nov, 22. WASHINGTON (CP) -- Fi- nance Minister Walter Gordon hinted Friday he may achieve his aim of reducing foreign con- trol over Canadian industry without the need of increasing the Canadian withholding tax on dividends to 20 per cent from 15 next year. He said also that just because the U.S, reduces income taxes does not necessarily mean that Canada should take parallel ac- tion at the same time, The sit- utions in the two countries are not comparable, he said, Gordon conferred with Treas- ur, Secretary Douglas Dillon on a number of cross-border eco- nomic issues. These included the withhold- ing tax problem, outlook for the proposed U.S, tax on foreign se- curities, the Canadian tariff. in- centive program for expansion of automotive production and the exploration by the two countries into the possibility of INTERPRETING THE NEWS By DOUG MARSHALL Canadian Press Staff Writer | Worried British authorities be- llieve Archbishop Makarios is gambling with a loaded hand \grenade that may blow up in jhis face. | The Greek-Cypriot leader has |rejected the Anglo - American jplan for an international peace me and this appears to leave no alternative but to involve the United Nations, The question now is if any force, whether organized by the jUN, NATO or the Common- jwealth, can get there in time f a Turkish invasion, Harassed British troops are having difficulty dealing with al rapidly deteriorating situation| kara that the Turkish navy is |mobilizing. |CYPRUS STUBBORN The Cyprus government's) stubborness seems grounded in risks of civil war jare exaggerated j|UN will side with the G Cypriots in a long-term cons tutional settlement. | Britain believes arguments! | | reek-) |o) Ottawa. \8 | OTTAWA (CP) -- William J.|p |/Smith, national president of the|s -Makarios Holds | Huge Grenade or controlled by the UN, | and that the)" 4 Canadian/HAS SOME BEARING ti.| POPs are recdily available and; Gordon said the subject is} jCanada is long experience in| very complicated, but that a de- this sort of peace - keepingicline in the U.S. corporation operation, about the eventual constitution and the composition of the peace force are irresponsible when the archbishop's long black robe is already being singed.

The withholding tax issue is one of the most sensitive be- tween Canada reduced the rate on re- patriated dividends to 10 per cent from 15 for those foreign- controlled companies which of- fer at least 25 per cent of their stock to Canadian purchasers. However, the rate will rise to 20 per cent from 15 next year for those which do not make this minimum offering. The U.S. government has described this later action as discriminatory. ASSURANCE GREATER the two governments. Gordon told a press confer- ence following his talks with Dillon that there now appears to be greater assurance that the 'oposed U.S, income tax leg- slation will be approved by Congress. At first there had not been much hope that they would be passed. He noted that under the bill, the U.S. corporation in- come tax would be reduced to 48 per cent from 52. "Certainly it is true that un- der the 48-per-cent rate, the sit- uation will be different from that under the 52-per-cent rate," he said, "I am not prepared to say anything more than that, except that a new factor would be introduced," When asked whether this "new factor' would be a con- sideration in changing the pres- ent Canadian withholding tax as far as the planned higher 20- per-cent rate is concerned, Gor- don said that it would, When a reporter phrased his question to ask whether there would be a "change again," Gordon replied with that he is sensitive about the word "again." If this word is left out, he added, his reply a smile would be "'yes."" Gordon did not make clear why a prospective decline in the U.S. corporation income tax rate may make it less neces- sary to raise the Canadian with- holding rate to 20 per cent next year. However, some experts believe that when the U.S. corp- oration rate deolines, the pres- ent Canadian withholding rate stock to Canadian purchasers, tate would have "some bear- tions would be approved by Con- gress had introduced a "new! tomobile Dillon, Gordon said he was able to assure him that this Cana- dian productfon-incentive policy, which had been sharply criti- U.S. Income Tax Cui Not For Canada: MP dends in the U.S., while Ameri: cans earn about $425,000,000 in : Canada. U.S. rate rise to 30 per cent. If this happened, he might come similar action against the Americans, He noted also that the present Canadian withholding tax ra averages out to about 15 per cent at the present time and "I think this is reasonably ac- cepted."' He did not believe any- one would like to see it doubled, When asked why Canada should not reduce its income taxes after the U.S, makes its reductions, Gordon noted that it takes a long time to get tax advantage for Canada that it did not have to wait 15 to 16 case in the U.S. ISN'T COMPARABLE he added.

The uncertainty over the future of this was causing difficulties for Canada in borrowing funds in the U.S. However, he had been advised by Dillon that the bill, which had been approved by the house ways and means com- through Congress within the next month or s0.
