Federal Aid To Colleges A Necessity OTTAWA (CP) -- A massive increase in federal aid to higher education is needed to ensure economic growth, reports the Bladen commission in inquiry. The federal government is urged to jack up its aid to uni- versities and colleges to at least $330,000,000 in. the next fiscal year from about $80,000,000 budgeted for the current year ending March 31. _Bpponrerneresencnnnnneney angen nti oer Bladon Report Coverage On Pages 2, 27 (meee ssvoeverncenennrcsnneinnnaat rr This sum should be increased substantially each year until 1975, at least, to combat the campus crisis the commission said in a 35,000-word report is- sued today. Appointed 18 months ago by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, the in- quiry was headed by Dean Vin- cent W. Bladen, 65, of the uni- versity of Toronto. REQUIREMENTS MASSIVE "The magnitude of the ex- peaereres required has omg yet been understood," port will have to be." Main recommendations are: --Appointment of a federal minister of higher educati who would co-ordinate fed- eral aid and initiate annual discussions with the prov- inces. ~A five-fold boost im the combined aid by federal and provincial governments to an estimated $1,704,000,- 000 in the next 10 years. --Increased gifts to univer- sities by business corpora- tions. f --Contribution by university graduates of at least one per cent of their income on a regular basis. that total expenditures by Can- ada's degree - granting institu- tions will jump to $1,314,000,000. in 1970-71 and $2,032,000,000 five years later from an estimated $537,000,000 in 1964-65.

Even Ottawa Should 'Foot' 40% Operating-Research Cost The report said Ottawa, with its larger tax resources, should assume 40 per cent of univer- sity operating and research costs, compared with 18.3 -per cent in 1963-64. The provinces were asked to finance 30 to 40 per cent of all versity costs and a much Proportion of student aid. OF CAMPAIGN commission issued its 90- ge report in English and mch in the midst of an elec- tion campaign that already fea- tured aid to education as a leading theme. The four commission mem- bers met privately with univer- sity and government officials across Canada and did consid- erable research. Prime Minister Pearson spoke of it Almost as a royal commis- sion and promised repeatedly to review federal aid once the Bladen report was made public. All parties except the Credit- istes have advocated increased spending by Ottawa in one form or another. The report proposes the fol- sat | federal aid structure: 1. Per capita grants for uni- versity operating costs boosted immediately to $5 from $2, with further boosts of $1 each year until require- ments are met. They would total $98,000,000 this year in- stead of the budgeted $39,200,- 000 and go up by about $20,- 000,000 annually. _2.

WASHINGTON (CP - AP) -- President Johnson will undergo major surgery Friday at a U.S. naval hospital for removal of his gall bladder, an ailment that plagues many men in their 50s and 60s. The president is 57. Z Johnson announced tie oper- ation at a press conference Tuesday night. It will be per- formed by Dr. George A. Hal- lenbeck of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., who said it will be major surgery but "the risk to a normal person of the president's age is very low in- deed." The president will be oper- ated on at the U.S. nval hospi- tal in Bethesda, Md., near the capital, and indications are that he will spend.10 to 14 days in hospital and several weeks more on a reduced schedule.

(AP) Prostitutes in jurors' hotel rooms, government spies in the defence camp, prejudice in the judge's, mind--these are some of the ce sations being made by James-Riddle Hoffa as he battles to avoid prison. From Chattanooga to Chicago to Cincinnati, Hoffa is fighting two federal criminal convic- tions that total 13 years in prison. Moreover, he needs money and there is a rustling of re- bellion in some areas of his Teamsters Union. To pail himself out of legal and financial problems, the la- bor. union president hopes -o raise $100,000 or 'more at a se- ries of $100-a-plate dinners in large cities. Solicitations are being made of both. businessmen and union members, and a teamsters source said Hoffa supporters hope to' raise $100,000 at one dinner alone in New ¥ork's Americana Hotel Oct. 27. An- other dinner is. planned in De- troit Oct. 17, and one possibly in Chicago. Here is a breakdown of Hof- fa's three-front legal attack: } Chattanooga: Pending in fed- eral court is Hoffa's third mo- tion for a new trial on jury- tampering charges.. He bases his: plea on affidavits alleging that U.S. marshals supplied .ju- rors with women and liquor, and that U.S. district judge Frank Wilson is prejudiced a- gainst him. The justice department Tues- day asked for dismissal of this motion and submitted affidavits by trial jurors, who denied the misconduct charges. Hoffa's motion, the government said, contains allegations which . \ "constitute a desperate 11th- hour fabrication." Cincinnati: The sixth U.S. cir- cuit court of appeals has re- jected" Hoffa's appeal of 'his eight - year Chattanooga sen- tence. However, Hoffa has moved for a rehearing on grounds he has uncovered new evidence of another government informer in defence counsels. Chicago: Before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is Hof- fa's appeal of his conviction in Chicago's federal court on charges of mail fraud and con- spiracy in the use of union pen- sion funds. The teamsters' executive board has promised to do noth- ing about removing Hoffa until all his appeals are exhausted. However, & source inside. the union said "the talk is more out in the open, now" about a possi- ble successor if Hoffa loses out in the U.S. Supreme Court. This could come as~ early as this fall. Hoffa is barred by a pending lawsuit by some teamsters members from using any fur- ther union funds in appealing his convictions, Major Surgery For LBJ; Removal Of Gall Bladder to be taken while Johnson is under anesthesia or otherwise incapacitated by the operation. HAD HEART ATTACK The president's health has been generally good since his severe heart attack while he was a senator in 1955. He has suffered from kidney stones, and needed surgery to have one removed. Also he is susceptible to colds and has had pneu- monia six or eight times--ap- parently in his younger years. The doctors who handled Johnson's heart attack, Dr. J. Willis Hurst, said he doesn't anticipate any difficulty Fri- day. Johnson read a statement to reporters announcing the oper- ation. "At the (LBJ) ranch on Sept. 7," he said, 'I felt some pains in my stomach which seented to be the result of something I had eaten." The White House physician, Vice-Admiral George G. Burk- ley, esamined him, suspected gall bladder trouble, and sug- gested that X-ray pictures be taken after his return to Wash- ington. There was a series of these that week, and Johnson said Burcley reported they indica- ted a poorly-functioning gall bladder. Bishops Blast Nuclear Arms VATICAN CITY (AP) -- De- mands rose in the Vatican ecu- menical council today for the Roman Catholic church to con- demn all nuclear arms, ' even for defence, and to lend moral support to conscientious object- ors. The demands expressed by, bishops 'from Canada, Britain, Europe and North Africa rep- resented a growing wave of op- position to the stand taken by many U.S. prelates that nuclear arms are permissable as a de- Remainder R Proposed plans for a $5 mil. lion addition to the Oshawa General Hospital were revealed today by William Holland, hos- pital administrator. as Estimated construction start- ing date for the 160 to 200 bed addition is the spring of 1966 with completion date tentatively set as the fall of 1967. "Many details still remain to be cleared since the Ontario Hospital Services Commission requires that before approval for an addition can be. given, the source of funds must be assured," said Mr. Holland. The administrator said the ad- dition will cost in the area of $5,000,000. He said while a large portion of this amount is expect- ed to be covered by provincial and federal grants, a healthy portion will still have to be raised locally. Mr. Holland discussed the pro- posed addition and method of financing last night with mem- bers of city council, meeting as a committee.

He also said the new 100-bed Whitby hospital, when com- pleted, will be of benefit to the Oshawa area and provide relief to the Oshawa General's build- ing plan in the immediate fu- ture. Mr..
