Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T__1. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Full aruni Provided By House Of Commons The House of Commons is cher- ished by Canadians as a democratic institution in which the affairs of the country can be discussed freely and frankly. Members are privi- leged to bring before their fellows all matters of public interest for consideration and possible action. The press is also privileged to report proceedings, regardless of how extreme the charges may be. Thus the Canadian people as well as their representatives in parlia- ment may learn in full of any situation over which a particular member is concerned. With this traditional background it is difficult to understand why such controversial situations as the charges made public by Dr. Guy Marcoux should explode during an election campaign. The Commons had been in session for many months before an election was called. There had been sufficient time for one investigation by Mr. Justice Dorion. Surely on such a serious subject'as Dr. Marcoux suggests, parliamen- tary procedures could also have been followed. An obvious course has been sug- gested by New Democratic Party Leader Douglas who has demanded a judicial inquiry into the Marcoux charges. Such a step by the Prime Minister would, of course, end im- mediately discussion of the matter for the remainder of the campaign. The Liberal leader would undoubted- ly be severely criticized for the action which would rob, particularly Opposition Leader of much ammuni- tion. Yet regardless of how wide the Marcoux charges range during the campaign nothing can be proved or substantiated one way or another. It would certainly seem that the national interest as distinguished from the interest of political parties requires such a judicial investiga- tion. The Prime Minister, however, is again in the position of being damned if he does take such action and damned if he doesn't. The opportunity for proper dis- cussion of the grave charges was lost in the House of Commons. A dangerous weakness seems evident when members of parliament deem it necessary to become pamphleteers to bring such grave charges to the attention: of the Canadian people. Useful Contribution Tom Wilkins, teacher with a Bachelor of Science degree, had five years' experience in his chosen field when blindness struck unex- pectedly. It meant the end of his teaching career. In addition, Tom lived the life of a hermit for a year. He refused to step off his front porch and he shut out his friends. Then a neighbor referred him to the CNIB and the young man's isolation ended. He met other blind people and, for the first time, re- alized he was not uc only pers handicapped by blindness.

He learned to read and write Braille and took lessons in handicrafts to develop his sense of touch. He discussed the nature of blindness with CNIB social workers and this brought about any constructive changes in Tom's outlook on life. His head straightened up and the half-bent posture he had assumed disappeared. He became a skillful blind bowler and started going to dances again. He met an attractive young woman, herself a teacher, whom he later married. Through counselling, Tom Wilkins decided to study social work and enrolled with one of Canada's lead- ing universities, Completion of this course will enable Tom to enter another pro- fession. Though blind, Mr. Wilkins will continue to make a useful con- tribution to his community.

Through 'the yearly cam- paigns of these funds the CNIB realizes a great percentage of the money it requires to operate and to provide the assistance it does to those afflicted with sight problems. * mor.' WASHINGTON CALLING . .e === Kennedy Voices Concern On Nuclear Negotiations y GORDON NONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- The LBJ map of the U.S.A., published in a new political joke-book shows an *"ermous Texas stretching from coast to coast. The muddy little Peder- nales which trickles across the LBJ spread becomes a mighty river, dwarfing the Mississippi. There are a few tiny trouble- spots marring LBJ-land and the worst on the eastern seaboard --a black sector fenced in with barbed wire and death-heads, labelled "Kennedy Territory". Real-life Kennedy Territory exists -- in the sophisticated states of New York and Massa- chusetts where people voted for Johnson without liking him very much, And where the sparkle of John Kennedy still refiects in his two bright young brothers, Bobby and Teddy. Trouble is -- the Kennedys won't stay in Kennedy Terri- tory. They are raiding the cor- rals of private LBJ policy and venturing into foreign entangle- ments. Last week, as the president fretted uncomfortably in his hos- pital room 11 miles from the White House, Senator Robert Kennedy delivered a major speech on nuclear arms con- trol. It was just 13 months since Bobby had resigned as attorney general to run for the Sen- ate in New York. The attention his speech received indicated how he had risen from brash, upstart carpetbagger to weighty senate voice. He is still a very junior sen- ator. He sits so far back in the chamber that, he said "I could get a better seat for 'Hello Dolly'." But he never put on the humble air for a new boy-- having been the second most powerful man in the nation for three years, the role would not have suited him. When he speaks, the hoary- heads listen to the voice from the back of the hall. Last week he tried to light a fire under the administration's handling of negotiations to halt the spread of nuclear weapons, by proposing Communist China be invited to the Geneva Dis- armament talks. If they accept, he said the negotiations will mean some- thing as all the nuclear powers will then be there; if not, the U.S. will have lost, nothing. He added "I think no one, looking at U.S. foreign policy since 1961, will interpret our civility as a sign of weakness." The mention of 1961 was an- other reminder that the Ken- nedys shaped that foreign policy. . P.. ~ The proposal was received cooly by a suspicious state de- partment, A spokesman said the U.S. had always accepted that China would one day have to be brought into a world disarma- ment treaty if there were to be any treaty. 'But the time was not yet. oe TEST BAN TREATY If the Chinese armament let them sign the limited test ban treaty and then perhaps they could come to Geneva. This was a better response than Kermedy got to his first nuclear arms speech last July. Then the White House observed sardonically that it was glad the senator was interested in the problem. He was more than interested. He said the threat of the spread of nuclear weapons was the most vital issue facing /the world today. Five nations-tlow have the bomb -- U.S., Britain, Russia, France, China -- but at least a dozen could develop it within three years. India and Israel already have the fission- able materials and could ex- plode bombs within a few months. When weapons became gen- erally available, Kennedy said, 'Each crisis of the moment well become the last crisis or mankind." That first speech smoked out a secret government report which suggested the U.S. drop its plan for a NATO nuclear navy in exchange for an agree ment with the Russians to keep the bomb in the club. The report, prepared, by a panel set up by Mr. Johnson last year, was handed to the president in January. But it had never been released or even shown to important Senate Com- mittees, because Johnson is clinging to the nuclear navy idea. This project, usually known as MLF (multilateral force) was born in the Kennedy days and has been kicking around ever since. Now Robert Kennedy has joined the swelling ranks of op- ponents, He said last week MLF may not be the best way of providing security for Europe and because it will give West Germany access to nuclear wea- pons it may be blocking agree- ment with Russia on non-prolif- eration, A short time before, Britain's foreign minister Michael Stew- art had been in Washington saying the same thing. The voice from Kennedy Ter- ritory may well be the louder of the two. 'Too Close To Grim Truth', Those Jokes Of Depression By THE CANADIAN PRESS There was a joke told in Sas- katchewan during the Depres- sion about a man who fell into the Saskatchewan River. Five men leaned from the bridge and shouted questions, asking him his name and where he worked. Then they raced off to try for his job, leaving him to drown. a Max Braithwaite relates the story in Why Shoot the Teacher (McClelland and Stewart), a fictionalized account of his teaching days in Saskatchewan. However, he adds: "I never laughed at that joke. It was too close to grim truth for hu- Teaching in small communi- ties on the Prairies in those days was no joke either. - Dust - bowl farmers, faced with rock - bottom prices for their produce, bitter winters and parched summers, tended to regard the school teacher, overworked and underpaid, as a~necessary evil they could ill afford. Braithwaite, a native of No- komis, Sask., and now a free- lance writer. living in Orange- ville, Ont., tells a lively, hu- morous tale of the trials and tribulations of one such teacher. The teacher -- no one ever calls him by name--takes a job fresh out of normal schowl with the Willowgreen School District' into the narrow and often cruel society of a small farming community. FOOTBALL FIELDS OF FLIGHT DECKS NMA vn Navy Always Comes Back To Play Key Role By HUGH MULLIGAN WITH U.S, 7TH FLEET (AP) "After every war they write the navy off, consign it to moth- balls and declare it obsolete," the captain said. "So here we are again." Capt. John E. Kennedy, sit- ting in, his high-backed black leather 'throne' on the bridge of the U.S. aircraft carrier In- dependence, looked down on his three football fields of flight deck lately come alive with mi- nute figures. Some 120 miles out to sea, "the big eye' was clearing her decks for another series of night bombing attacks and strafing runs against Viet Cong positions in South Viet Nam. The Independence plowed stolidly through the South China Sea at 14 knots. Two hours after take-off the planes came back. They hit the deck in a shower of sparks and jolted to a stop as their. tail hooks caught the big rubber band called the arresting gear. Plane pushers in blue sweat- shirts folded the wings and stacked the planes on the bow, only inches. apart The loudspeaker the day's statistics "Aireraft from the USS Inde- pendence today flew 119 sorties to fixed targets and in support of ground action in the 3rd and 4th Corps areas.

Some 200 miles to the north, similar progress reports were barked out wanted dis- -- being broadcast over the Mid- way, Oriskany, Bon Homme Richard and the other carriers carrying the war to North Viet Nam through a curtain of heavy anti-aircraft fire and under con- stant threat of the deadly sur- face-to-air missiles, SAFER THAN LAND In this weird war, where ma- jor airports such as Tan Son Shut and Bien. Hoa in the Sai- gon area, Soc Trang and Can Tho in the Mekong Delta, and Da Nang and Na Trang in the north have been hit by mortar fire and crippled by sabotage, where sudden monsoon squalls can shut down flight operations and flip over parked aircraft, carriers float in a virtual sea of safety. For the hundreds of Seventh Fleet ships the war is never really very far away. They reg- ularty hazard treacherous reefs and rocky coves to run in close to shore and fire their. three- inch guns in support of ground action Casualties have been high among navy men serving as ad- visors on Vietnamese river as- sault group boats From Quang Tri on the bor- der of North Viet Nam all the way down the South China Sea around Ca Mau Point to the is- land of Phu Quoc on the Cam- bodian border, minesweepers and destroyer escorts pace the shore line in a monotonous picket duty called "operation markettime."" They challenge unidentifiéd ships, search pass- ing junke and fishing fleeta for caches of ammunition and float- ing grenade-and-uniform facto- ries, and keep a constant look- out for supplies being smuggled to the enemy, whether by sam- pan or cargo freighter. SCOFF AT MOTHBALLS Perhaps of all its varied op- erations in Viet Nam, the navy could scoff loudest at the bec- koning mothballs during "op- eration starlight," when U.S, marines trapped a regiment of Viet Cong regulars on the Van Tuong Peninsula 12 miles south of Chu. Lai, inflicting the heavi- est enemy casualties of any American action thus far in the war. ' While the cruiser Galveston and a small armada of destroy- ers paved the way with constant offshore salvos and carrier- based jets rained havoc on en- emy---positions,-marines_stormed. ashore from the landing ship dock point Defiance and from the navy troop carrier Talla= dega, Almost at the same time a battalion landing team of U.S. marines was flown beyond the enemy lines from the heli- copter carrier low Jima to launch a rear action that caught the Communists in a deadly Pincer, "Vertical envelopment" the tactic is called, a new wrin- kle in helicopter warfare that is proving itself in Viet Nam. All day long. as the -battle moved inland, navy ships lying off the peninsula launched their landing craft to keep the troops supplied with food, water and ammunition. Twenty - five - year - old de- stroyers, fighting a losing bat- tle against rust and already sentenced to be decom- missioned, suddenly found themselves in demand as float- ing artillery. The decks of the 'copter car- rier [wo Jima ran red with blood, as the wounded were flown aboard by helicopter and lifted by elevator to. her spark- ling 40-hed hospital, Lt.-Cmdr. Barney Scott, a surgeon lately graduated from the University of Tennessee Medical School, worked 27 straight hours and couldn't recall when he had been so tired. That war that had often seemed so far away now seemed agonizing ly close, Lieut. Henry Dronsek of Boston turned over the watch and re- sponded to a loudspeaker call for blood donors. He turned to the young marine lying next to him in a passageway outside. the operating room and «saw that the surgeons had just re- moved both legs In a sheltered cove of the South China Sea, Lieut. Dron- sek left his youth behind. The war at sea, whether from the smoking deck of a gunboat or the steaming hold of a cargo ship, where deck hands labo? 18 hours a day to keep the fleet supplied with ammunition, food and fuel, has attained a reality in Viet Nam that no enlistment poster. can ever depict. And, perhaps, that no mothballs can keep closeted very long. ~ Key Points You can't MAKE OUT "he GALiup POLL G6T AN exmea-wen Youre stu AN UNDECIDED VOTER Lose Two "TURNS Su monterey CANADA'S STORY PL GM i THE ELECTION GAME UU NH A Bad Trade By Britain BY BOB BOWMAN Hockey, football, and base- ball teams often trade players, and the trades don't work out very well. Britain once traded Louisburg, Nova Scotia, for Madras, India and that was one of the worst trades ever made. Louisburg, the strongest fort- ress in North America, had been captured in 1745 by an amazing force of amateur soldiers from New England. They felt bitter when Britain signed the Treaty of Aix-La- Chapelle with France on Octo- ber 18, 1748, and gave Louis- burg back to France in ex- change for Madras, India. mao i nti surnsutnay ane ctai MLAS URI tte aE The trade was bad not only because it was one of the causes of dissatisfaction that led to the American Revolutionary War, but also because Britain had to recapture. Louisburg in 1758, before Wolfe could attack Que- bec. The second Louisburg siege delayed the campaign to cap- ture Canada by at least one year. The fortress of Louisburg now is being restored at a. cost of millions of dollars as a tourist attraction. Even the original fort cost a great deal of money.

(CP)--On the night of April 25, 1963, with Judge Paul Ste. Ma- rie of the Quebec Superior Court among his spellbound au- dience, the returning officer for the federal riding of Pontiac-Te- miscamingue took a 25-cent.coin from his pocket, flipped it into the air, caught it and said one word: *'Martineau." J. Denzil Moodie, a private contractor between elections, . thus ended the nip-and-tuck bat- tle between Conservative Paul Martineau and Liberal Paul Goulet for the right to represent the western Quebec riding in the 26th Parliament. Now getting ready for the Nov. 8 balloting, Mr. Moodie re- called the moment. in an inter- view. The official count in the fed- eral election campaign April 8 that year gave Mr. Goulet, a 16- vote edge over Mr. Martineau, mines minister in the Diefen- baker government. After two recounts, the count stood at 6,448 for each. Judge Ste. Marie, presiding at the ju- dicial recount at the courthouse in this town about 65 miles northwest of Ottawa, then turned to Mr. Moodie and asked him to cast the deciding vote. GIVEN 15 MINUTES "1 asked the judge whether I could have three months to make up my mind like the other voters had," said Mr. Moodie with a smile, "The judge told me I had 15 min- utes." Mr. Moodie, appointed a re- turning officer after the Con- servative landslide victory of 1958, said he used the time to maké a telephone call to a per- son he doesn't care to name. "He told me I would be fol- lowing British tradition if I used either a pack of cards or a coin (6 help me make the de- cision." Had lie decided on heads for Mr. Martineau, tails for Mr, Goulet, or vice-versa? "T didn't say," replied Mr, Moodie, "Il just went back into the courtroom, tossed the coin and announced my vote for Mr. Martineau." Had the coin. come down head or tails? "I don't know," he said. was too excited to 'look.' Both candidates were among the spectators at the courthouse. Mr, Goulet shook hands with the returning officer and Mr. Martineau, a family friend, in- vited him to a victory party. "y Mr. Moodie declined the invi- tation in favor of a few bracers among his friends at the Royal Canadian Legion. A popular story in the riding is that Mr. Moodie sold his 25- cent piece for $100. But he in- sists he gave it away. to an asker. LOST PROVINCIAL JOB A man who likes to tell a funny story--or to hear one-- Mr. Moodie is going into his third federal election as a re- turning officer. He acted in the same capacity for several Que- bec provincial elections but "got the bounce" after Premier Jean Lesage's government took of- fice. Farming, lumbering and min- ing are the main sources of in- come for the 20,000 eligible vot- ers in the riding. It's a sprawl- ing one with its southern tip only a few miles from Ottawa and its northwesterly portion extending just beyond the north end of Lake Timiskaming. It in- cludes a great chunk of Veren- drye Park whose few isolated polls are a special worry to the returning officer. : Mr. Moodie, who looks to be about 60 but doesn't like to say how old he is, describes: himself as a "lowland Scot' with enough "habitant French" to carry out his duties in the bilingual rid- ing. The Pontiac portion, which has 69 of the riding's 125 polls, is predominantly English-speak- ing; the Temiscamingue portion is mostly French-speaking. Father of three grown chil- dren, Mr. Moodie enjoys elec- tion night when he supervises the duties of about 250 workers and keeps a friendly eye on a group of reporters who set up shop in his headquarters to get election results as they become available, An affable, easy-going man, Mr. Moodie sees that coffee is served during the night and "perhaps we have a beer or two when it's all over." East Whitby Township HUNTING LICENSE On Sale at STEWART MURISON COLUMBUS Put Straight Re Raharte - "] ADWRIUAA hae HEARN speeches of his career at the Ontario - Quebec newspaper seminar here in Toronto. The speech was received with a great deal of 'publicity and raise. It was accepted as a 'ey statement of Ontario's po- sition on its relationships with the federal. government, with the other provinces and with Quebec. However, there was not much that was entirely new in it. In fact the only point of sig- nificance the writer recalls not having heard from the premier before was a reference to French - Canadians living out-. side Quebec. In this he said Ontario could not agree to a proposition that the government of Quebec in any way represents the inter- ests of French - speaking Cana- dians living in any other prov- ince, But the speech generally was a consolidation of points the ' premier has made on Ontario's position, a key statement of policy, and therefore deserving of the prominence it has been given. MIGHT MISLEAD At the same time the speech could be misleading to the casual reader of either news- paper reports or even the speech itself. When a leader of a govern- ment talks of relations with other government 'he hardly talks black and white. He has to carefully qualify his position. so that it won't kick back on him or his prov- ince. Such a statement is hard to prepare. And it can be even harder to follow. Thus, because in the speech Mr. Robarts favored a strong central government, it might be assumed he was willing to surrender powers to Ottawa or that relations with the federal government would be more har- monious in future. But neither necessarily fol- lows at all. In face from other portions of the speech you can suspect he will hold out for even stronger powers for his province, And from some of the expres- sions he used he apparently in- tends to take a firmer stand on his demands. Thus at one point he said On- tario "will no longer accept cer- tain federal actions unless there has been prior consultation. Those words in quotes appear te be ultimatum talk.
