He urged revision of the entire text. Archbishop George Andrew Beck of Livefpool, England, suggested that in a just war of defence there could be legitim- pond targets for nuclear wéap- non py Beck, who de- glared he was speaking for a number of bishops from Eng- fand and Wales, said great clar- ity and exactness were needed in the draft text's reference to the use of nuclear weapons.

Hoyle thinks it's highly prob- able that such planets and peo- ple do exist. So do a lot of other scientists. They think some of the radio waves hitting the earth right now contain messages from those people and there is some scientific effort under way to decipher these messages, to Outer Space People Are Trying To Say Hello waves which would also trans-| mit pictures. What could we see and hear on this 'celestial' television? Hoyle, in his new book, Of {Men and Galaxies (University of Washington Press), says some of these outer space civil- izations have evolved further than we and would therefore be able to tell us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war. During an interview here, Hoyle said Je wasn't so. wor- ried about mankind destroying itself in a nuclear war--"it's the boredom that worries, me, he said.

It is a brute of a bill, a half- inci thick and packed 'with im- plications for the lives and gem of 5,000,000 Canadi- wr Tnttedeetton of the 125-section bill, one of the longest and most complex pieces of legislation evér seen in Parliament, came after a four-hour debate on the preliminary resolution stage during which opposition MPs pledged careful , scrutiny but voiced no immediate objections. These are the next steps: Second reading, or approval in principle, will be sought in the Commons. At this stage government speakers will deal with the financial and economic underpinning of the scheme. The government Monday night declined to reveal the reports on these aspects of the plan, though the actuarial survey al- ready is in government hands. Next step is to set up a joint Senate-Commons committee to study the bill in detail. It will have before it the detailed ac- tuarial and economic reports. The committee likely will call expert witnesses, including of- ficlals of the insurance com- panies now administering pri- vate pension plans. If both houses of Parliament subsequently give the bill final passage, the legislation will take effect in 1966 and will ap- ply everywhere except in Que- bec, which will have its own similar plan, or in any other province that sets up substan- tially the same scheme. PLAN COMPULSORY The federal plan will be com- pulsory for an estimated 4,500,- 000 to 5,000,000 Canadians. Forced to contribute will be all employees cver 18 earning more than $50 a month or $600 a year, and all self-employed per- annually. Rates of contributions and benefit jevels are the same as those spelled out in the govern- ment's white paper last August. Briefly, the plan would start this way: The first $600 of annual earn- ings is exempt. On the rest up to a $5,600-a-year maximum, the contribution rate is 3.6 per cent. This is shared equally by employees and employers but paid alone by the self-employed. For an employee earning at least $5,000 it means payments of $6.60-a month. These start) in 1066. Canada May Join OAS: Connolly OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada will probably join the Organization of American States 'when Ca- nadian public opinion is more conscious of the conditions in South America and of its own interests in this region,"' Sena- tor John Connolly of Ottawa said Monday. Senator Connolly, government leader in the Senate and minis- ter without portfolio in the Pearson cabinet, made the statement in an address pre- pared for delivery to the Inter- American conference of busi- ness executives held in Lima,| Peru. He said in the speech that Canada's presence in Latin America is not as extensive as it might otherwise be because of this country's preoccupation with Western Evurope, the United States and the Common- wealth, MDs IN NORWAY _ With & total of 4,492 doctors in Norway, there is one MD for every 812 inhabitants of the country. sons taking in more than $800) la vast amount of material on Full benefits begin in 1076, though some are available at reduced levels in the first 10 years. The benefits will come in one cheque but take two forms: the contributory pen- sion, plus the flat-rate old age security pension financed as at present out of taxes. At age 65, a person fetiring becomes eligible for the con- tributory pension which is 25 per cent of the. average earn- ings on which contributions are made. Thus a person earning as much or more than the $5,000 income ceiling would receive about $104 monthly. SECOND PENSION In addition, the old age se- curity payment which now is $75 a month at age 70 can be claimed, in reduced amounts, starting at age 65. It would be $51 at age 65, Thus a person re+ tiring at age 65 would get a to- tal of $155. If he waited until he was 70, he would get $179 a month. However, these are only illus- trations, Actually, the income ceiling which starts at $5,000 a year would be adjusted under the bill in line with average na- tional earnings If it goes up, of course the maximum benefits would rise. As another safeguard against | having benefits in future sapped by inflation, both the contribu- tory and flat - rate pensions would be adjusted in line with changes in the cost of living. They could only go up; the bill forbids reductions even if prices decline. There follows in the bill the) complicated formulas for pay- ments to widows and orphans, to contributors who become dis- those who do not work and thus didn't contribute all their lives, \d 'anada Pension Plan To Affect 5,000,000 for those between 65 and 70 who are retired but still earn money from regular work, and so.on. A basic principle 'of the bill is that everyone who contrib- utes is eligible for a benefit. That includes the girl who ae 4 tributes before she marries, a well as working wives. When they reach 65 they will get a pension based on earnings av- eraged over the whole period. CAN'T BE CHANGED: Another fundamental sion in the bill; No Parliament could change the general levels of benefits or contributions without the con- sent of twothirds of the prov- inces having two-third of the country's population. That for- mula would include any prov- ince with its own similar plan, such as Quebec. The federal plan is meshed with Quebec's to ensure porta- 'dility--that is,, the ability to carry pension faonefits from one province to another, The only persons exempt are employees of the armed forces and the RCMP--they have their provi- few others such as employees of foreign. governments, or wives employed by their' hus- bands. After introducing the legisla- tion, Health Minister Judy La- Marsh told reporters that while the provinces were consulted in drawing-up the scheme they "ee not yet seen the detailed She said they likely will make their views known in letters to Prime Minister Pearson. She added that she knew of no plan|son to raise the issue at another federal-provincial conference, In its white paper last Aug- ust, the government estimated that in the 10th year of the plan, 1976, there would be a re- serve of about §4,000,000,000. There has been no estimate of how that reserve would shrink after that date, when full bene- fits start, Revenue Minister E, J. Ben- son told a press conference that in the first year contributions would total close to $426,000,000 and that administration ex- penses, heavy at the outset, would be about $12,000,000, That would leave more than $400,000,000 available for invest- own plans ofr retirement earlier than normal elsewhere--and a ment, as the bill provides, in provincial securities, Rich Ex-Dancer Poisoned, Warrant Out SAN FRANCISCO (AP)--Wil- iam Cootes Jr., nephew of Vanda Hoof Unger, 66, once a widely - known dancer and for- mer wife of bandleader Paul abled and unable to work, to Bureaucrats Whiteman, was sought Monday on warrants charging him with jattempting to poison her. | Cootes, 30, is a child psychol- ogist in San Francisco.

He said the north should have its own civil service and not de- pend on the present system of getting its civil servants from the federal government. Lyle Trimble of Aklavik, elected representative for the riding of Mackenzie Delta, said council members were kept in the dark about what was going on in the north and about laws they were expected to approve at council sessions. Robert Porrett of Hay River, elected to council in the riding of Mackenzie South, said there was a lack of information avail- able to council members, For jexample, he had been handed subjects to be discussed at this council session only a few days before the opening. Mr, Trimble also said projects agreed by council at its June session in Ottawa had not been carried out. For example, some changes in welfare benefits ap- proved were not being paid in Aklavik. He said the north needed more representative govern- ment and the federal govern- ment should scrap the idea of on a warrant charging that he administered carbon tetrachlor- ide -- a poison that has dam- ing effect on the liver--in cof- ee fo Mrs. Unger and another Y\warrant charging grand theft.
