The producers' original strike threat had been handed to CBC senior management in April. Prime Minister Pearson averted a May 1 walkout when he ap- pointed Stuart Keate of Vancou- ver an informal mediator in the dispute, Mr. Keate, on leave of ab- sence from his post as publisher of The Sun while acting as me- diator, reported to the prime minister last week The producers' statement to- day said Mr. Pearson's inter- vention in the dispute had been in vain, It said the association was disappointed in the stand taken last week by the CBC board of directors in connection with Mr. Keate's. report. WANT A REVIEW The producers said they wanted to preserve Seven Days from disintegration. A review of the firing of Mr. Watson and Mr. Lapierre was a prime de- mand of the association. Meanwhile, about 30 mem- bers of the Toronto public af- fairs department of the CBC drew up a document expressing lack of confidence in senior management. It asks public af- fairs departments across Can- ada to refuse orders from any- one but immediate superiors. A further meeting was scheduled for today. Douglas Leiterman, present executive producer of Seven Days, said the CBC obviously does not plan to have the con- troversial program return in- fact néxt season, Mr. Leiterman reported that about 15 members of his staff had their contracts renewed two weeks ago for next season, but he had since learned that the renewals were only until Sep. tember,. In Ottawa, CBC Prest- dent Alphonse Ouiment declined to confirm or deny that the CBC has refused to renew an- nual contracts for 12 of 15 pro gram production employees. "Obviously, management does not intend to have Seven Days returh intact despite (Mr. Oul- met's) repeated assurances to the contrary," Mr. Leiterman said. Today's statement from the Toronto producers said recent agreements by CBC manage- ment not to interfere in pro- grams except through estab- lished channels had been broken in the Watson-Laricrre case, "We therefore cannot accept management's present declarae tion that it is willing to abide by \this agreement in future, but that it is unwilling to grant re- |troactivity in the case of Mr. | Watson and Mr. LaPierre." The statement said the agree- ment had been in force when |the co-hosts were fired and |should be respected by all con- | cerned, "There is no reason to assume |that the present management is jconcerned in this case with jeither fair play or a need to | provide a minimal standard of jdecency and professional rese |pect in its dealings with pro- ducers." reat vont ee net nn NEWS HIG rrostt a | HLIGHTS Hill Named As Indianapolis Winner INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Londoner Graham Hill was confirmed today as the winner of the 50th Indianapolis 500-mile race, and a protest Johncock was denied. filed by fourth-place Gordon | Benson Foresees Constant Bargaining OTTAWA (CP) -- Revenue Minister Benson said today the government visualizes it will be bargaining 'all the time" with its 175,000 civilian employees when collective bargaining for the public serv ice comes into effect this fall.
