Ken Bryden (NDP -- Toronto Woodbine) said the program of mailing out government - pro- duced tapes showed the clear beginnings "of a tendency by this government to enter the field of managed news."' He said the government is using public monies to hand out news in such. a fashion that only the government point of view is made available. "This is the seed of totalitar- janism."" Mr. Bryden said he recog- nized the difficulty in drawing a distinction between legitimate explanation of government pro- grams and the promotion of the party in power. Bui the govern- ment was not even attempting to make such a distinction, While the New Democrats and the Liberal seldom agree in the legislature. Mr. Bryden said, they will join forces to put a halt to the government policy of trying to manage the news. Mr, Reaume said the Liber- als will delve into the estimates of each government! department , to search out how much is be- ing spent on the news service and the salaries of public rela- tions men, Willam Kinmond, govern. Jury Acquits Murder Rap ST. THOMAS (CP) -- Peter Hans Schneider, 18, of Toronto was. acquitted Friday of a non- capital murder charge in the Sept. 13 knife - slaying of Al- phonse Maurice Cote, 47, of Guelph. Schneider testified that he « stabbed Cote to defend himself advances after Cote picked him up in a car as he was walking along Highway 401 near Toronto. He said re Warned Cote that paid no attention and persisted in improper advances. Schneider 'said that after he stabbed Cote, he was picked highway and adniitted what he had done. duction schedules. Management, on the other hand, has main- tained work and the speed of produc- clusively, ments, o* It is left to the individual members to distribute the tapes to radio stations, he said. James Auld, minister of tour- ism and information, said the government news service--the mailing of weekly broadcast tapes to radio and television stations--costs: about $142 a week, or $7,500 & year, Of the $412 a week, only about $42 goes to Vidon Productions, whose principal shareholder, Don Fairbairn, produced the tapes, Mr. Auld said, The re- maining $100 went to Dominion Broadcasting, which managed the technical end of the produc- tion, UAW, Chrysler Talks Stalled WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--Talks continued throughout Friday be- tween representatives of Local 444 of the United Auto Workers Union (CLC) and Chrysler Can- ada Ltd., where a strike by the union has idled 7,000 hourly- rated employees and 162 office workers, The walkout here, which be- gan Jan. 28, "has caused the shutdown of three Chrysler plants and the auto firm's sub- sidiary; Walker Metal Products Ltd. With the walkout already heading towards the 40-day mark, stalled main-table nego- tiations have placed the burden of finding a basis for settlement on a number of sub-committees, four of which met Thursday and Friday. A spokesman for the company said Friday's meetings were conducted in a "hopeful spirit but after 37 days, the negotia- tions are tired." At issue is a new collective agreement and a question of work standards.

Both opposition parties in On- tario said the Conservative gov- ernment's system of sending out free tape-recorded news broad- makes only the government point of view available and is "the seed of totalitarianism." In Saskatchewan, members complained that the legisla- ture's business was keyed to fixed broadcast hours when 10 of the province's radio stations carried part of the debates, In- dividual members' speeches were sometimes cut off when their speaking time ran out, and times were allotted on a pro- portional basis corresponding to membership in the legislature. The week ended with all leg- islatures sitting except Quebec. Among the highlights: British Columbia Health Minister Eric Martin said the medical profession is creating artificial bed shortages in some provincial hospitais by extend- ing the stay of patients, Alberta -- People going for false teeth will "have to take their chances" if a bill is passed designed to eliminate the need for patients to obtain certifi- cates of oral health before go- ing to dental mecnanics, Health Minister Dr. J.

'ROUND THE WORLD IN A GLANCE 4 Deadly Disease, Car Crash Bold Bandit, Smoke Screen LAUGHING KILLER PORT MORESBY, Papua (Reuters) -- A mysterious dis- ease called "the laughing death" is killing off the women of the Fore people in the East- ern Highlands of New Guinea. The ravages are such that Fore tribesmen have been forced to become housekeepers and motherless families are common. Shirley Glass, an Australian woman researcher, said that out of 76 marriages in one Fore clan, 40 wives died from "the laughing death." The disease officially is called kuru. There is no known cure. It affects only the Fore people and kills more women than men because it is passed on through the female line. Miss Glass said the victims of "the laughing death' lose con- trol of their limbs and facial muscles in the early stages of the disease and have the ap- pearance of laughing continu- ally.

Some feel odd about celebrat- ing the centennial of Confeder- ation in 1967 in a land where their people have lived hun- dreds of years, Nevertheless, 18 Indian rep- resentatives of reserves and ommunities across Can- ada met here for the last two days as guests of the centen- nial commission to talk over participation of Indians, in the 100th birthday celebrations. They suggested proclamation of a national Indian day as one of a number of steps towards Indian participation in the cen- tennial. Others included a cen- tral outlet for promotion of In- jdian arts and crafts and a na- tional Indian dance group to tour Canada in 1967, eventually winding up at the world's fair in Montreal. For an ancient people like the Indians of Canada, cele- brating the centennial of Con- federation seems a bit odd, said Rev, Adam Cuthand, a Selkirk, Man., Cree Indian who was one of a seven - member committee elected to plan In- dian participation, the loot amounted to at leastjunlawfully conducting a lottery\NOT IN CREE TONGUE $3,984.80, including $1,200 in} cash, but the final figure is| likely to be near $7,000.

Two hours after the meeting began, those in the rear could hardly see the speakers through the haze. TWO-YEAR SENTENCE ST.

The Indian representatives urged that the centennial plan- ners make greater use of com- munications media, including Lack of Tipping Tourist Lure TIMARU, N.Z. (CP)--New Zealand tourist promotion agen- cies are giving increasng em- phasis to the lack of tipping in New Zealand as an attraction to tourists, Except to a minor degree in hotels, tipping is al- most unknown in New Zealand. The New Zealand tourist and {publicity department has issued a memorandum settng out the consensus view: "The majority of New Zealanders feel that tip- ping is wrong and unnecessary in. a country where all. em- ployees receive adequate wages." Centennial Year Means Little To First Settlers has| PI Indian publications, to inform Indians of how they could best participate. In a statement following the meetings, the Indian represent- atives said there is strong ap- proval for greater emphasis on the part played by Indians in the development of Canada. "Some of the distortions in this connection should be re- moved from history books in order to give young Indians a greater Sense of identity and achievement." The group recommended that a special grant of $1 a person be made to Indians to help them with centennial pro- grams.

Wilson May Take New Viet Stand By HAROLD MORRISON LONDON (CP) -- A pariia- mentary private secretary has quit his post as the split within the Labor party over the gov- ernment's Vietnamese policy Rumors flew that Prime Min- ister Wilson may be forced to modify his support of the United States position or face open re- bellion from about 47 volatile left-wing members, Frank Allaun, 52 - year - old peace marcher, journalist and labor member for Salford East, near Manchester, resigned as private secretary to the colonial secretary rather than adhere to Wilson's demand that all min- isters and their associates re- frain from signing parliament- any motions critical of govern- ment policy. Allaun was one of about 47 who signed a motion demand- ing that the government with- draw its support of U.S. policy in South Viet Nam, especially of the air strikes against North Viet Nam, So far, Wilson has refused left-wing demands but with a majority of only four seats in the 630-seat Commons,the rest- less left wing which holds other grudges against government policy has political power that Wilson cannot ignore. ADDS TO WOES To add to it's woes, Wilson's government suffered its first House of Commons defeat Fri- day--over a procedural issue that may kill a bill to outlaw hanging. The government was also de- feated by 128 votes to 117 on a motion to bring to an end the day-long debate on whether the bill should have continued study by the standing commit- tee or return to the House of Commons.
