Gordon Puts ~ On Coin-Flood Fancies By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--Invoking the old law of supply and demand, Canadian Mint will churn out special sets of uncirculated 1965 coins until all demand has been met, even if production has to run into 1966. It was decided earlier to limit production this year to 2,000,000 sets, When new coin presses are in- stalled and special factory space rented, the mint will again in- vite orders for the collectors' sets. It was swamped with or- Woman Weeps While Letter Read In Court HAMILTON (CP)--A woman sobbed openly in county court Monday as a letter from her missing husband was read aloud. William Edwards, 50, and his wife, Muriel, 47, are both charged with fraud. In the letter, Edwards wrote his wife: "I do not know what will happen, Muriel, but I do know I cannot face tomorrow and it is better if I do not wake up to face it. "I will face a far greater judge and what the decision will be, I don't know." A bench warrant was issued for Edwards's arrest and Judge John §S. Latchfor? adjourned the case until the warrant is executed. "You have no idea where he is?" the judge asked. "No," Mrs. Edward replied, as tears ran down her cheeks. PLEAD NOT GUILTY Mr. and Mrs. Edwards both pleaded not guilty to defraud- ing a 62-year-old widow of some $4,000 in funds during a three- month period last year. The husband, a former evan- gelist and used-car salesman, conducted an extensive cross- examination of the complainant Mrs. Edith Harding of Hamil- ton before court adjourned for the week end. Mrs. Harding testified she gave Edwards some $2,000 in cheques for mining stock and 'surveys near Timmins. She said that other cheques ranging from $100 to $700 were used by Edwards on horse races and he claimed he needed other funds for expenses arising from a car accident, Assistant Crown Attorney Da- vid Robinson said defence| counsel Carl Logan handed him the note at the start of court The Damper ders for 6,000,000 in. the first days of January and had to re- turn 4,000,000 to the would-be buyers. se Mr. Gordon said it would be impossibie to give priority to Canadian buyers and difficult to ration distribution of the coin sets. A spol check of the orders now on hand at the mint indi- cated the buyers are 60 per cent foreign, about the same as in past years, but there is no way of knowing how many Cana- dians are ordering them as agents for foreigners. The sets consist of one spe- cially minted and polished coin of each denomination--1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, and $1. Their face value is $1.91 and they are sold by the mint at $4. MARKET VALUE HIGH The speculative market has been as high as $18 a set. It is more usually in the $10 and $12 range for previous years' sets. Selling the $1.91 sets at $4, the government makes a profit of "more than $1," Mr. Gordon said. The difference goes into the cost cf the special pressing, polishing, and handling of "un- circulated coin." Mr. Gordon said a lot of people who expected to make a big speculative profit on trad- ing in the 1965 coin sets will be disappointed by his an- nouncement, But the government should not be contributing to a wild speculation, he added. The finance minister said pol- icy on distribution of coin sets in 1966 and subsequent years will be announced later. He in- dicated in reply to a question at a press conference, however, that it 1s likely the mint will again meet all orders. The mint received orders for 6,000,000 sets at the beginning of the new year. It turned back all orders. received before Jan. 1, and the 4,000,000 in excess of the 2,000,000 it could originally handle.

OTTAWA (CP)--Toronto law- yer Joseph Sedgwick will make a second study of immigration department procedures, but the new one on discretionary pow- ers of the immigration minis- er may delay his report on the earlier study of arrests, depor- tations and prosecution of ille- gal immigrants. The new study, announced Monday by Prime Minister Pearson, is the result of the Dec. 21 Supreme Court of Can- ada ruling that the immigration minister does not have unlim- ited powers to order deporta- tions. The inquiry is "'to deal with discretionary powers conferred by legislation on the minister of citizenship and immigration," the prime minister said, as "'the most difficult questions in im- migration policy centre of the use of these discretionary pow- ers," Mr. Sedgwick's first study of department procedures, dealing with illegal immigrants, was announced last June, and _ in- formants indicated Monday that his new task may delay his re- port. However, it was understood Mr. Sedgwick had almost com- pleted his first report when Mr. Pearson asked him by letter Hospital Union Will Take Strike Vote LONDON, Ont. (CP)--A strike vote wili be taken Thursday night by union employees at Victoria. Hospital following un- ion charges of violations of the present contract. Negotiations for a new con- tract have been under way for two months. Local 220 of the London and District Building Service Work- ers Union (CLC) has applied for the services of a conciliation of- ficer. Violations allegedly com- mitted by the hospital include: Sedgwick Will Undertake New Immigration Study Jan. 27 to make the second study. In announcing the new study after a meeting with Mr. Sedg- wick Monday, Mr. Pearson said the Supreme Court decision "gives rise to new doubts" about the extent and use of dis- cretionary powers by the min- ister. In the Dec. 21 decision, the court said Immigration Minis- ter Tremblay exceeded his pow- ers by ordering the arrest and deportation of Giuseppe and Rocco Violi, 24-year-old: Italian immigrant twins, after they had earlier been allowed to stay in the country for a fixed period of time. The six to three majority judgment granted an appeal by the brothers quashing deporta- tion orders issued against them two years earlier, and ruled they had been held illegally for deportation at Bordeaux Jail in Montreal for eight months. They had been arrested on a warrant issued by Mr. Trem- blay. CAN'T CHANGE MIND The court said that after al- lowing the brothers to remain in Canada for a fixed period, the minister could not change his mind at the end of the pe- riod and order the deportations carried out. The prime minister asked Mr. Sedgwick to examine the gen- eral effect of the court ruling and to give advice on these four questions: --Whether the present degree of ministerial discretion is necessary; --Whether, in the light of ex- perience, the exercise of dis- cretion may be subject to pressures; Whether it is practicable and reasonabic to alter the degree of discretionary power or the way in which it is ex- ercised; --Whether there is any alter- native which might provide a more satisfactory method of reaching decisions on difficult individual immigration cases. a permit, almost escaped arrest said leader at one point that he and jail and let King and Aberna- Pe lh atl att eth a a ara a i a a a ae A a 'SERIOUS SHORTCOMINGS' -- COWARD By STEWART MacLEOD | OTTAWA (CP)--The Ontario government, which has already announced its intention of enter- ing the Canada Pension Plan, proposed a series of changes Monday to correct shortcomings." "It's not a question of whether we join or not," said L. E, Coward, chairman of the Ontario pensions committee, "but whether we heartily en- dorse it." The plan, as proposed, has some wide gaps, said the On- tario brief to the parliamentary committee on the plan, and the suggested changes were de- signed to close them. The pro- vincial government said it was not prepared to accept the ar- gument that the basic principles of the plan are unchangeable. It was suggested that $25 be paid from the plan's fund to all persons receiving the $75,-a- month old-age security benefit, and that a minimum monthly' payment of $25 be established under the plan itself. Race-Fixers' Reinstatement Condemned TORONTO (CP) -- "Fixing races is the capital offence of racing," Magistrate S. Tupper Bigelow said Monday. Magistrate Bigelow, also chairman of the Ontario Racing Commission, appeared before the Ontario Legislature's stand- ing committee on government commissions. Replying to a question by El- mer Sopha (L--Sudbury), Mag- istrate Bigelow said one trainer and four of the 10 jockeys sus- pended in a 1951 race-fixing ep- isode had been reinstated. and that he disapproved, After the MPP asked: "Don't you think they have paid their debt to society?" Magistrate Bigelow said he did not think so. People who commit crimes get out of prison, sometimes on parole, he said, but a bank em- bezzler "doesn't work in a bank again." Magistrate Bigelow declined "serious |$5,00 Ontario Would Alter Canada Pension Plan The proposed 10-year transi- tional period for the plan should! be extended to 20 years, and contributions should be levied from the first dollar of earn- pate of from $600 to The Ontario brief, which was made public some time ago in Toronto, also said there didn't appear to be enough considera- tion given to the financial and economic implications .of the plan and its alternatives. John Munro (L -- Hamilton East), parliamentary secretary to Health Minister Judy La- Marsh, said it would have been helpful if Ontario had advanced its suggestions earlier, since they involve "a very notable change."

Under the plan, contributions must start at age 18. In their brief, the teachers' organizations in the Atlantic re- gion said, "it would appear that the Canada Pension Plan is de- signed to offer security to school drop outs and to those who en- ter the labor force immediately on graduation from secondary school, and to penalize teachers and others who continue their education."
