They included about 170 then working in the plant and about 102 strikers. The strikers, however, boycotted the government - supervised vote, maintaining that the result was a foregone conclusion. : The union asked that only those who took part in the orig- inal certification vote be allowed to participate in the decertifica- tion one. This would have elim- inated the new employees hired after the strike started. The un- ion's request was not granted. Following the decertification: vote there was a waiting period until last Monday during which objections to the voting proced- ure could have been filed.

Silent Yaremko Boiled By NDP TORONTO (CP)--Provincial Secretary John Yaremko re- mained silent Thursday as op- position members launched an all-out drive to discover Lieu- tenant - Governor Earl Rowe's part in the reviva: of old racing charters for Windsor Raceway. Leading some of the harshest ériticism ever directed at a provincial representative of the Crown, Liberal Arthur Reaume (Essex North) said Mr. Rowe should decide whether he wants to continue as lieutenant - gov- ernor or enter the race track business. Mr. Reaume charged. there was "some real hanky-panky" connected with the revival of the old racing corporations, whose shares were later pur- chased by Windsor Raceway Holding Corporation. The debate started Wednes- day night when Donald Mac- New Donald, ieader of the Democratic Party, read por- tions of a prospectus issued in the United States for the sale of stock in Windsor Raceway. BOUGHT CHARTERS The prospectus said that Wil- liam Rowe, son of the lieuten- ant - governor, had purchased seven old charters from his father for a $56,000 promisory note, The son later obtained four other charters and sold all 11 to Windsor Raceway for $175,000. Mr. MacDonad demanded Thursday that Mr. Yaremko tell the house how and why the old racing charters, all incor- porated before 1912, were re- vived by the Ontario govern- ment between 1956 and 1963. When Mr. Yaremko remained| silent on the question, Mr. Mac- Donald moved that the provin- cial secretary depart ment's 1965-66 estimates be lowered to $1 from $529,800--in effect, cen- The Conservative majority easily defeated. the.

McNa- mara, have this in common: Each is engaged on an exten- sive overhaul of their 'military establishments. McNamara's: position bristles with prickly side problems. On one flank, he has a nasty war in Viet Nam to supervise. On the other are rows of snipers in Congress. What he does have on his side is his own widely - regarded efficiency and the unqualified ter to a committee b s investigation by the Speaker might compromise his posi- tion in the House. Speaker Alan Macnaughton took the matter under advise- ment. On the pension plan, Reve- nue Minister Benson said there is. no great risk in lend- ing money from the fund to the provinces. Marcel. Lambert. (PC--Ed- monton West) said a province might run into financial trou- ble and be unable ot meet its commitments. Health Minister Judy La- Marsh said no province other than Quebec has indicated it will operate a separate plan. FRIDAY, March 5 The Commons meets at 11 a.m, to continue the pension plan debate.

Mr. Favreau wrote Mr. Jus- tice Dorion Feb. 26 because of testimony that day at the Dor- ion inquiry. He included the text of the statement he re- leased to the press about testi- mony by J. R. Lemieux, dep- uty commissioner of the RCMP which pointed out that the testi- mony had been ruled to be based on hearsay and should not be taken into account. WASN'T INFORMED The minister's statement said Prime Minister Pearson had not been informed in advance of the RCMP's intention to question Liberal MP Guy Rou- leau, then Mr. Pearson's par- liamentary secretary. The dep- uty commissioner had said it was his understanding Mr. Pearson had been informed be- forehand. Mr. Favreau's letter noted that testimony by Mr. Lemieux was being carried by news media and the public might have drawn incorrect conclu- sions "without an immediate correction."

The McNamara broom is partially propelled by technical change. It also reflects, how- ever, the-president's desire to practise fiscal prudence, devote more funds to domestic matters and ease the dollar drain caused in part by extensive overseas. military commitments. But many congressmen are irked 'with' McNamara at the parish-pump level because he is closing naval yards, other ob- solete military bases and put- ting the knife to reserve army units. FEAR LOST LEAD Then there are the armchair military strategists in Congress who concede that the U.S. weapons lead over Russia may be wide today, but say it is threatened by McNamara econ- omies in weapons, manpower and research. ~ McNamara is proposing the lowest military - functions de- fence budget in five years at an estimated $47,900,000,000 for 1966. This is $200,000,000 under the sum for the current year. The defence budget remains about half the U.S. total spend- ing, but it is $8,000,000,000 less than that recommended by the joint chiefs of staff. McNa- mara's critics argue that he leans more on civil advisers than military ones. A'sample of his contentious housekeeping changes is the proposal made last December to save $150,000,000 annually by slicing the organized army re- serves to 550,000 men from 700,000. Paul Hellyer has been chop- ping at the Canadian militia in similar fashion. CONGRESS UNHAPPY In the U.S., there is both the reserve army and the national guard... Hellyer would put the reserve army into the national guard to create a unified com- mand and scrap: 21 Reserve or national guard divisions. He says the increase in military efficiency would be worth much more than the financial saving. Congress is warning defiantly that it will have the last word. In the loftier field of long- range strategy, McNamara is a sinner in the eyes of many-- including Barry Goldwater--for stoutly resisting pressure to bring along a new manned bomber. bombers will go next year, At that time the first of the heavy B-52 bombers will start to go, with no replacement.

DuPont Striker Faces Charges KINGSTON (CP)--A striking worker from the Du Pont of Canada plant here has been charged with intimidating the crew of a CNR engine attempt- ing to cross a picket line out- side the strikebound plant. Charged was Gary Key, 20, of Kingston. Police said the engi- neer was backing his unit away from the picket line when a man dived in behind the engine. About 1,700 workers went on strike seven days ago, seeking special pay for Sunday work, a union shop and a retroactive contract. The men are members of the United Mine Workers of America (Ind.). The last of 1,300 B-47 nuclear OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva- tive party moderates are try- ing to head off another open clash between Opposition Leader Diefenbaker and the Party's Quebec wing over pol- icy differences on the proposed formula to permit provinces to quit some established 'shared- cost programs. The parliamentary caucus has been in session all week and was meeting again today on the issue. The latest internal troubles Bell Bill Bogs MPs OTTAWA (CP) -- In short order Thursday, the Commons gave third and final reading to a bill that had bogged down for months under a welter of criticism. The bill allows the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada to increase the number of direc- tors to 20 from 15. After hours had been devote to it during the last six months --mainly by Creditiste and New Democratic members--the legislation breezed through the final stage in a few minutes Thursday. During the earlier discussion there had been demands that the government break up the Bell 'monopoly,' that govern- ment appointees be put on the buard of diectors and that Bell's ownership of Northern Electric Company be investi- gated. It was a productive day in the passage of legislation. Among bills given third and final reading were: Legislation to incorporate the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, to incorporate the Ca- nadian Institute of Actuaries, Canadian National Railways. Ending Session | and to provide capital funds to}, were set off by a_ strongly- worded speech in caucus by Erik Nielsen, MP for the Yu- kon, who demanded support for a strong and possibly pro- tracted fight against the legis- lation. Quebec leader Leon Balcer, his colleagues and some Eng- lish-speaking supporters who fa- vor the legislation, were shaken. Informed sources say that since the speech was made ear- lier this week the party has been working in an effort to reach a more acceptable posi- tion; Failure to back away from the Nielsen stand would likely hasten the departure of Mr, Bal- cer and some other Quebec members. TEXT CIRCULATED Mr. Nielsen's speech, under- stood to have Mr. Diefenbaker's blessing, was circulated in printed form confidentially to all caucus members later. After charging that the for- mula--which Quebec Conserva- tives support because it helps satisfy Quebec demands for greater autonomy--would be a step towards a '"'two-nation"' concept of confederation, Mr. Nielsen in effect told Quebec members to. get out of the party if they won't support Mr. Diefénbaker's position or, at least, keep quiet about it. It was because of differences with Mr. Diefenbaker over the formula, and other issues af- fecting Quebec, that Mr. Bal- cer made his pre-Christmas threat to quit the party. Early this year he made an unsuc- cessful bid to have a leader- ship convention summoned to select a new leader. Mr. Balcer has said that Mr. Diefenbaker's policies and his manner of enunciating them are dangerous to Confederation. He says the policies are isolating Tory Moderates Fear New Diefenbaker-- Quebec Clash the Quebec wing from the main- stream of the party. Informed sources said Mr. 'Balcer and his colleague Paul Martineau (Pontiac - Temisca- mingue) spoke in caucus against the Nielsen position. SEE NO DANGER Some moderates see no dan- ger to federal powers in the opting-out formula and would prefer to save the party. am- munition for the debate ex- pected later this year on repa- triation of the British North America Act. These Conservatives view the legislation as simply returning to the provinces control and fi- nancing of programs in their own jurisdiction. While Mr. Balcer claims Mr. Diefenbaker is isolating the Quebec wing, Mr. Nielsen says Liberal policies are based on the assumption that 'French Canada is to be restricted to one province; and that that province is to be progressively set apart from the rest of Can- ada." On the constitutional issue, Mr. Nielsen rejects the argu- ment by the government and E. Davie Fulton that there is no difference between the present formula and the one Mr. Fulton as Conservative justice minister proposed in 1961. Mr. Nielsen said the formula is acceptable now only because the federal veto over changes wanted by the provinces is be- ing removed. NEED... FUEL OIL ?
