_ -- The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian 'Newspapers Limited f 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Interest of Colonel "Sam" "Once again Col. R. S. McLaughlin has demonstrated his generous in- terest in his hometown of Oshawa. It was announced this week that he has agreed to provide some $200,000 for the expansion of the library he had constructed for the Motor City's men and women, boys and girls in 1954. Of course it is difficult to travel anywhere in the city without com- ing across worthwhile reminders of Mr. Sam's contributions to the bet- terment of Oshawa and its citizens, It may be the bandshell in the park downtown or the home away from home provided by the Youtig Wo- men's Christian 'Association build- ing. The Geneeral Motors plants themselves, established in the city as they are and, indeed, largely re- sponsible for Oshawa's develop- ment, give the most spectacular evi- dence. : Of his many gifts to Oshawa, however, the library must be a source of special satisfaction for Mr. McLaughlin, as it certainly fs for his fellow-citizens. As' has been pointed out, "the McLaughlin public library has a continent-wide reputation, not only for beauty of design, but for usefulness to the community". To all citizens, but - To City Again Evident particularly the young, the library houses the books which constantly open new and exciting vistas. The use made of Colonel Sam's gift is aptly illustrated in the library stat- istics, In the 10 years the present library has' been in operation the number of borrowers has increased from 16,980 to 36,624; the book cir- culation has climbed from 181,733 to 448,851. It is characteristic of Mr. Mc- Laughlin that when a need is brought to his attention, he moves quickly to fill it. This is the case with the library expansion. The building built but a decade ago no longer has the facilities to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding com- munity. His decision to have a new storey constructed will remedy the situation. And there is more involved. Mr, McLaughlin has agreed to donate the mementos of a long and illus- trious career to the library. This historical material represents a val- uable asset available to future gen- erations. In all, Col. McLaughlin again mer- its the sincere thanks and deep ap- preciation of his fellow-citizens for his continuing interest in our com- munity. Wonderful With Words Man ever requires words to live by -- words that cut through the morass of meaningless expression to the hardrock of basic beliefs. Ad- lai Stevenson had the wonderful knack of providing them. For his generation, he expressed many of the sentiments which put in per- spective the complexities of politics and international affairs. On civil liberties, he noted: "In « headlong rush for national secur- She Osharon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C, ROOKE, General Manoger C, J.

On party principle: "Who leads us is less important than what leads us -- what convictions, what cour- age, what faith -- win or lose. A man doesn't save a century, or a civilization. But a militant party wedded to principle can." Of religion, a dominant force in his life, he said: "Ours is a time of torment, trial and challenge" and that "the mighty and mightily neg- lected power of the verities of reli- gious faith is our shield and sword". Of the United Nations, his assess- ment was: "There is really only one item on our agenda -- the survival of the human race." Of communism, Mr. Stevenson said: "Communism resolves no anx- ieties. It multiplies them. It or- ganizes terror. It is without spirit- ual content or comfort. It provides no basic security". As a sensible champion of free- dom Adlai Stevenson will be miss- ed. His words remain to remind us of his sane approach to the affairs of the day, and perhaps, if we let them, to serve as a guide in the fu- ture. Death Penalty Ebbs In U.S. Even As Murder Rate Rises By MAGGIE SAVOY WASHINGTON (AP) -- Capi- tal punishment is as old as the cup of hemlock, and the crimes for which it has been imposed range from murder to consort- ing with gypsies. But is it moral, and does it do any good? Those questions may never be answered with finality, but the fact is that the death pen- alty is dying out in the United States. Even as the murder rate rises. Last year 9,270 men, women and children were murdered in the U.S. only 15 murderers were executed. Thirty years ago, in 1935, 199 criminals were from a much smaller population. Michigan was the first state to abolish the death penalty; in 1847. Over the years, seven more states took such action-- Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, Minne- sota, North Dakota, Rhode Is- land and Wisconsin. This year alone, five states have -outlawed the death pen- alty--Oregon, Iowa, West Vir- ginia, Vermont and New York, In some of these states the pro- hibition is not total. New York, for example, still has the death penalty for murder of a police- man on duty. Moratoriums have been pro- claimed in other states and countries: in Britain, where, after years of study by a royal commission on capital punish- ment, an abdlition bill has passed the House of Commons; in Tennessee, where Governor Frank G. Clement walked into death house and commuted the sentences of five convicted mur- derers after the state House of Representatives killed a bill to abolish the death penalty by a vote of 48 to 47; in Kentucky, where Governor Edward T. Breathitt ordered a ban await- ing a bill before the 1966 legis- lature. Canada proposed to abolish capital punishment in the throne speech last spring. The Commons. is expected to deal with the subject this fall. Massachusetts, South Dakota and New ampshire have not executed a man in years. UNDER DEBATE Legislation to ban capital Punishment is \under serious debate in many other states, including Colorado, where it is in referendum, and New Jer- sey, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Washington State. Yet Massachusetts, Maryland, Kansas and Missouri also re- cently defeated bills to end cap- ital punishment. In Indiana Governor Roger D. Branigin vetoed such a bill after the murder of a state trooper. And eight states--Kansas, Colorado, Washington, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, South Dakota and Delaware -- restored the death penalty after once abolishing it. Last month two young men, 22 and 23, who had boasted of killing seven persons, were hanged in Kansas. Public opinion stands divided. A 1965 Gallup Poll showed 45 per cent favoring retention of the death penalty, 43 per cent favoring abolition. Today, there is one murder, forcible rape or assault to kill every three minutes of the day and night in the U.S. Murder rates have been climbing slowly since 1958's low of 4.1 a 100,000, to an estimated 4.6 for 1964, but are still much lower than in the 1930s (9.6 in 1933). Abolitionists term the death penalty a "brutal barbarism, unworthy of a civilized society." Arthur Koestler wrote in Re- flections on Hanging: "The gallows is not only a machine of death, but a symbol. It stands for everything that mankind must reject, if man- kind is to survive its present status."' Others insist that the death penalty is practical and neces- hi Says FBI Director J. Ed- gar Hoover: "The savagely mutilated bode ies and ravaged victims of mur ders, rapists and other criminal beasts beg consideration, when evidence is weighed on both sides of the scales of justice. We must never allow misguided compas: erase cern for the fortunate, inno» cent victims of bestial crimi- nals. No pleas in favor of the death penalty can be more hor+ ribly eloquent than the sight of a battered, sexually assaulted body of a child." Does the death penalty pro- tect people from the loss of their most valuable possession --life? Abolitionists say it does not, NO DETERRENT Pickpockets once picked pock- hanging on the gallows in Eng- land. Nor did fear for their own lives stop any of the 315 men and women now on death row in U.S. prisons. Homicide rates vary in na- tions and states for many rea- sons -- cultural and economic levels, social organization, com- position of population. For in- stance, the rate in Alabama is 10.2 a 100,000; in Vermont a mere 0.5. Studies have been made com- paring murder rates in some 40 nations which have abolished the penalty, and comparable countries which have not. Little statistical difference shows up. Professor Thorsten Sellin, Un- iversity of Pennsylvania sociol- ogist who compared rates in comparable American states, found no Statistical difference. Last year, 55 U.S. policemen were killed by criminals. while on duty. Sellin's figures showed police were as 'safe' in states without the death penalty as they were in states which exact death for the murder of a po- liceman. Advocates of capital punish- ment say these statistics prove nothing. "We know how many people murdered, but we do not know how many did not kill, stopped by fear of their own deaths, one of man's greatest fears," says Richard H. Kuh, speaking for the New Yorw state com- bined council of law enforce- ment officials. Abolitionists contend the death penalty not only blinds justice--it murders her. Unequal laws in various states, whims of juries, skill of prosecuting or defence lawyers, forced confessions, governors with powers of commutation or pardon, the obvious inequality of money for defence and in- vestigation, and outright prej- udice--all these, in practice, cause the death penalty to fall unequally, abolitionists claim, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO July 16, 1945 G.

Surely this makes common "futile searches" for such ac- our con-. Oshawa needs a minimum standard housing bylaw today, not two years from now (as has been suggested by Queen's Park). It has asked City Council's aid "in the immediate future" to facilitate passage of such legis- lation. Such a bylaw is urgently need- ed. The big stumbling block thus far has been the Community Planning branch, Department of Municipal Affairs, which says, in effect; it will not be consider- ed until the City's proposed Urban Renewal Study (proposed by the City's Planning Board) is completed. The study would not be started until early 1966. It would require at least a year to complete. City health authorities are handicapped under existing leg- islation (such as the Ontario Public Health act) if they wish to close sub-standard houses. This can only be done if they prove the water supply is. un- safe, or if the sewage disposal system is unsafe for good health. Such legislation is far too re- strictive if the health of citi- zens are to be protected. The bylaw, details of which- have not been published, has far more teeth. The Board wholeheartedly supports the Urban Renewal Study, but it opposes such a long delay in its passage. sense, A SAD STORY Sub-standard housing? It's not a pleasant subject, is it, especially in warm weather? Little wonder many keep sweeping it under the rug like a bad family skeleton year in and out. It's a blight on the social con- science of the City. It keeps cropping up in the news, at high official level with disturbing regularity, like a bad dream that suddenly becomes reality. Here are some of the grim facts: There are practically no homes available in Oshawa to- day for low-income families with four children or more. Many are forced to live in sub-standard homes which lack such elementary 20th Century facilities as indoor plumbing, Proper heating equipment and non-leaky roofs. Some have a rodent problem. It is easy for most citizens to forget such facts in the hurry and bustle of modern life; not 80 with City Health and Welfare authorities, or Children's Aid officials who come face to face with them daily. Herb G. Chesebrough, City Welfare administrator, is an ex- ample. He has never seen such a "disturbing" lack of adequate housing locally for low-income groups in the past 30 years. He and his staff waste much valu- able time in what he calls commodation. Barnard M, Lewis, director of the Children's Aid Society (for _City and County) puts it this way' "It is most frustrating for us to take a family out of a sub- standard house, move them into an approved low-rent house and then discover that another fam- ily has moved into the sub- standard home." Mr. Lewis points to another serious aspect of the case -- i.e, its effect on the lives of chil- dren. He says: "The number of children who have come into the care of The Children's Aid Society because of sub-standard. housing and the. glaring lack of low-rental hous- ing is increasing rapidly, With- out any trouble, I can recall at least 12 in recent weeks. It can be a real tragedy when families are broken up in this way. What many of us forget is that there are hundreds of wage-earners in Oshawa whose weekly take- home pay is far below the aver- age GM level. These people have families, are good citizens, but they are in an economic trap and simply can't keep up with modern rents. Everybody doesn't drive a Cadillac." Mr. Lewis says the lack of low-rent houses is one of the more serious social problems affecting the City of Oshawa to- day The need for more low-rent houses in Oshawa has been elab- Orateiy spelt out since 1957, That was the year Dr, C. C, Stewart, City MOH, became alarmed about the situation and took Mayor Lyman Gifford on a tour of some "'blighted" areas. Said His Worship. after that trip: 'I didn't know there were such places in the city". Frustrating and lengthy de- lays have marked any attempts to build low-rent houses locally. Whether the real fault is at the Federal, Provincial or munici- pal government level, or is the result of procrastination by all three, there has been no. satis- factory explanation for it. This may sound like an exag- geration, but the 42-unit Chris- tine Crescent (three - room homes) was officially opened in November, 1962, approximately four years after City Council of- ficially gave the green light to the project. There is also a good chance it would have been de- layed longer but for the con- stant prodding of Alderman Christine Thomas, after whom the project was named. There 'Was no open opposition on Coun- cil to the project, but the ma- jority didn't seem to care too much whether it materialized or not. : When plans were set recently to build an 18-unit addition to - the project, CMHC turned down the only building tender re- ceived because it was too high. Can't something be done quickly to get Oshawa's low-rent housing show on the road? oe ' Pin "WE'D BETTER STAY HERE PAUL" Hard-Nosed Bargaining Prolongs Aviation Talks By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--A hard- nosed bargaining attitude by American aviation companies is regarded as'a major factor be- hind the drawn-out negotiations on air agreements with Canada and other countries. Discussions between Canada and the United States began April 27, 1964, on revising the agreement of 1949. There were indications around last Christ- mas that progress was being made but the latest word from American officials is that "we just don't know who is going to deal the next card." Japan, Mexico, Italy, Greece and the Philippines are some of the other nations bargaining Gandhi Backed By Einstein LONDON (AP)--Hitherto un- published correspondence be- tween Mohandas K. Gandhi and Albert Einstein has become public after nearly 34 years. The famed physicist voiced approval of Gandhi's policy of non-violence. The Indian leader replied that Einstein's support gave him great consolation. The letters were published in the Indian Weekly, an English- language publication for the In- dian community in Britain. Einstein wrote in October, 1931, the publication says: "You have shown by all you have done that we can achieve the ideal even without resort- ing to violence. We can con- quer those votaries of violence by the non-violent method. Your example will inspire and help humanity to put an end to a conflict based on violence with international help and co-opera- tion guaranteeing peace to the world. "With this expression of my devotion and admiration I hope to be able to meet you face to face." Gandhi replied Oct, 18, 1931: "I was delighted to have your beautiful letter... . It is a great consolation to me that the work I am doing finds favor in your sight. I do indeed wish that we could meet face to face... ." The letter was written by Gandhi when he was in London, the Indian Weekly said. Ein- stein received the letter in Caputh, near Potsdam, Ger- many, It was foupd there by Dr. F. M. Friedmann, now a resident of London, after Ein- stein left Germany. In the United States, Einstein, the former pacifist, supported the Allies in the Second World War against Nazi Germany. He suggested, in a letter to Pres- ident Roosevelt, the possibility of building the atomic bomb. There is no record that Ein- stein and Gandhi ever met. Gandhi was assassinated in In- dia Jan. 30, 1948, by a Hindu extremist. Einstein died at Princeton, N.J., April 18, 1955. or seeking to bargain on alr rights with the U.S. Canada is in a special posi- tion due to geography in seek- ing to improve penetration of the American air-carrier mar- ket. But observers suggest that doesn't mean much to the American lines, who deal in dollars and cents. HOLD UPPER HAND Canadian and other foreign reaction to these negotiations indicates a strong feeling that they have a lot less to give than U.S. lines do in bargaining. Ja- panese spokesmen, for example, say they start from such unfa- vorable circumstances they have little negotiating leverage. Japan is described as un- happy, but not making much obvious progress. The agree- ment with Mexico expired July 1 and was extended. The Phil- ippines wants to replace con- tracts with U.S. carriers by an agreement but there is no talk- ing going on at present. Greek representatives are in Washing- ton to negotiate. The state department has the chief hand in such negotiations for the U.S. government but the carriers are deeply involved as well as the federal regula- tory body, the Civil Aeronautics Board. Canadian - U.S, negotiations began on the basis of the report of John Kenneth Galbraith, the Ontario - born Harvard econo- mist who proposed making fly- ing as easy as possible for North Americans by maximum possible disregard for the inter- national boundary. PROGRESS SLOW There has been a subsequent suggestion that Galbraith take another look at the situation in view of slow progress so far in negotiations, but this has not been done. Canada for a long time has wanted the right to extend trans - continental flights from Montreal or Toronto to the U.S. west coast, and to enable Air Canada to tap directly more of the rich Florida tourist market. The old agreement, under which Eastern Air Lines of the U.S. can fly from Montreal to New York and to Miami, Fia., forces Air Canada to terminate its Florida flights at Tampa which isn't as desirable a ter- minal point for vacationers. But Canada, like Japan, Italy and a lot of other countries, hasn't got much more it can offer American carriers without accepting stiff competition for its own lines, Canadians say, BIBLE And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell, -- Matt. 10:28, Followers of Christ have no fear in the knowledge that per- secution cannot touch the soul, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 16, 1965...

OTTAWA REPORT Senate Commended On Cool Judgment By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The Senate has been dragged into criticism and even contempt through some unworthy appointments made to it in recent years. But this does not dim the glory of its hard core of experienced, able and mature members who far excel in cool judgment anything seen in our present Commons. An example of the Senate's. ability to weigh arguments in the national interest was seen on the very last day before the summer recess, when a re- spected elder statesman, a for- mer president of the B.C. Lib- eral Association, Hon. Sydney Smith, spoke in the throne speech debate. He devoted his entire speech to the govern- ment's proposal to "decide the issue of capital punishment." "I have tried to maintain an open mind on the subject of abolition while studying the is- sue," he said. 'I wanted to consider both sides of the ques- tion." Then, adroitly pinpoint- ing the vocal abolitionist lobby now operating on Parliament Hill, he asserted: "I am in- spired to speak on the subject at this time because I consider that so far it has been largely a one-sided debate." LAW RESPECTERS SILENT He referred to an earlier speech by a junior senator: "His treatment of the subject reflected a very definite view- point which we might expect from a director of the Cana- dian Society for the Abolition of the Death Penalty." And. he described how he had attended the recent panel "discussion" conducted: in the Parliament buildings by the same society. "But I found that it was not actually a discussion--rather a presentation by a group of in- ternational leaders in the cam- paign for abolition." "The question of abolition of capital punishment is' so im- portant and so serious that it deserves consideration of every viewpoint," Senator Smith ad- mitted. "I have studied the subject sufficiently to learn that there are very definite differ- ences of opinion, but I have also learned that the support- ers of abolition are so well or- ganized that this invites people QUEEN'S PARK who have not reached an o| ion ot toait' cirn to Ce tae the abolition bandwagon." "Some," . he warned, "war they would be looked on as morons if they take a stand for retention." The great danger under our present system is that, if the abolitionists attain their objec- tive, society will not be pro- tected against known killers. Senator Sydney Smith quoted two shocking cases from his own province, concerning one man who, after release from a mental hospital, shot and killed three policemen, and another who, with a 27-year record of criminal convictions, likewise shot and killed a policeman at- tempting to question him, SEES WEAKNESS "Built into our judicial sys- tem is a parole and rehabilita- tion program in which I believe there is a serious weakness," explained the Senator. "This program encourages a type of sincere, but often overzealous, people and organizations that are influenced more by their hearts, than their heads to ex- ert pressure for lighter sen- tences and more lenient parole. They show more concern for cold-blooded killers than they do for the mothers, widows and children of police officers and others who have been their vic- tims." The senator deplored the in- creasing modern tenden among kindly, respectable citi- zens to disrespect the whole system of law. This stems partly, he suggested, from the widespread disregard for traf- fic laws. "Disregard for law and order is closely related to the campaign for easing up on penalties." "After very serious and ex- haustive study of this subject," the Senator wisely summed up, "T have come to the conclusion that I cannot give my support to the abolition of capital pun- ishment, unless some excep- tions are provided which would retain the death penalty for those convicted of capital mur- der of police officers and prison guards, and an assurance. that much greater care would be exercised in granting parole to those who have been convicted of murder." Two Pertinent Points In House Issue By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Toronto's ever self-loving press has been stray- ing again. This time it's been over some public housing in Etobicoke in the suburbs. The Ontario Housing Corpor- ation, the new body which fi- nally (after many years) is get- ting action in public housing, was offered and agreed to buy 104 row houses in a develop- ment in this community. The units are to be used for subsidized rental housing. That is for families with low to medium incomes who have not been able to get adequate housing. BIG HOWL Homes in the vicinity are in the $20,000 to $35,000 bracket (take about 'a third off that to compare them in your own community). When the property owners heard about the purchase they put up a big howl. Public housing in "their" community. These weren't the words they used, but they were the obvious thinking. Then it turned out there was a swimming pool attached to the development. And that the houses (of three and four bed- rooms) had washrooms or North Americans Flock To Ireland DUBLIN (AP)--It is the time of year when the streets of Irish cities teem with a foreign but highly welcome population. The men usually wear flashy but sensible travelling -jackets and slacks. They have short haircuts and each seems to be loaded down with cameras. The women. are cool, rather long- legged and carry well - filled handbags. These are the North Amer- {can tourists who pour upwards of %100,000,000 into Ireland's coffers every year.Those who have Irish - sounding names spend days trying to find their relatives. Most are overwhelmed by friendliness. The Irish manage to send them away happy and so thousands are that dream of all tourism--repeaters. Taxi drivers, busmen, guides and tourist agencies fasten onto any North American with an Irish-sounding name and --_ go away with a great sense o accomplishment. There is the occasional frustration. Said Shamus Murphy, steward at the Madigan: "We had an American here not long ago who found his fam- ily down in Galway. He said mever again. It cost, him too much, But he was pleased about it for all that.' ' Lost "powder-rooms" as well as & bathroom. And of course this was straight up newspaper alley, The press combined the beefs of the local people with pic- tures of the swimming pool and talk of "two bathrooms." And you might have thought the government was going to sub- sidize the Beverley Hillbillies. MISSING LINKS Not mentioned at all in some of the first stories, and buried deep in others, were two very pertinent points, One was that the units had been offered to the corporation in reply to an ad (along with offers for 1,800 other units), That the corporation has a cri- tical situation on its hands in the demand for housing,. And that, swimming pool or not, the package was offered at a price of about $2,500 a unit less than the corporation could build new accommodation at today's prices, (Under its program OHC is both buying existing properties and building new units.) 3 The second point was that the announced policy of the corpor- ation, and of the government, is that public housing in future will, as far as-possible, be scat- tered through existing commu- nities. (The large, separated devel- opments of the past, and the stigma they carry, are out.) In other words once we have decided it is public policy to subsidize families with too many children for their means we are going to treat them as first - class, not second - rate citizens. If the Toronto press had put across these points in proper perspective at the start a lot of giref could have been saved. But it had a good story, and it played it for the most inter- esting angles, as it so often does. You don't say it is irrespon- sible, it just isn't very respone sible.
