For '12 years in San Francisco the fight 'was waged. Planners, businessmen, 'labor leaders argued that jobs and 'progress depended on being able to move vehicles quickly. the city said "no" to an eight-lane "expressway and the $270 million in 'federal funds which would - have paid for 90 per cent of the cost.

This Oshawa mayoralty could quickly blossom out into a race to be remembered. The same holds true of the Board of Control and the al- dermanic (where no less than 24 candidates will vie for 12 seats.) This much must be admitted about the mayoralty -- there never was anything dull about a Gifford -- Thomas feud, mayoralty or otherwise. Isn't this where the action was al- 'ways, rough, ready and unpre- dictable, with few holds bar red? The 1966 mayoralty could even surpass that bitterly-con- tested 1953 battle. That was the one in which the Oshawa Ministerial Association played such an influential role. The key issue was Sunday sports, and what an issue it was. John Naylor was a fledgling poli- ticilan making his first try for the Chief Magistrate's seat (the one Lyman has held so resol- utely for the past four years) Remember how Sunday sports were rejected, how Naylor hum- bled the popular Frank McCal- 'Bay, 5 Enniakitien, Orono, Leskard, Brougham, Burketon, Claremont, «Manchester Pontypool, and Newcastle not over o SEs per week.

There's no question but that the public is be- ginning to react against sacrificing urban values to the automobile, Planners may well be surrendering too meekly to.the transportation ex- perts who contend the superhigh- ways "must go through", Recently the contention has been pressed that the expressway should serve as a "make work" project in light of the lay-offs in the automo- tive industry. A survey published last week showed that most of those laid off in August have re- settled quickly. The United Auto- mobile Workers Union says some are undoubtedly facing hardship but only 525 were registered with the Manpower Centre and 225 rec- ommended for government voca- tional training courses, In such circumstances, the expressway as a long-term project can have little application were there an immedi- ate need, Thus, although the costs of the proposed expressway have been de- bated to a confusing degree, the social consequences require much consideration. In Saturday's edi- tion of The Times the city invited those opposed to lodge their pro- tests in the next two weeks. A hearing of the Ontario Municipal Board could result. In light of all these circumstan- ces, a platform for a complete re- view of the expressway proposal in the new year is in the best in- terest of Oshawa and its citizens , Hazards 2.

OTTAWA REPORT National Leaders Of 1900's Sought By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Many delegates to last week's Conservative annual meeting spoke of the emphasis now widely placed on the need for 20th century babies as na- tional leaders in this third quar- ter of the century, Both John Diefenbaker and Lester Pearson were born in the 19th century; the three other party leaders, Tommy Douglas, Real Caouette and Bob Thompson, were all born in this century. As a backlash spurred by the "dump Dief" drive, many Lib- erals are muttering about their own need for a new and younger leader. If the Conservatives get themselves a new leader, they say, they cannot afford to lag far behind. ' It is widely-believed on Par+ liament Hill that our centennial year will not he far advanced before Prime Minister Pearson announces his wish to retire. He will likely suggest that a Lib- eral leadership convention should be held in September or October, and he will volunteer to continue to serve as party leader and prime minister until his successor is chosen, READY TO RESIGN There has been talk that Mr, Pearson, who is heartily dis- guested by what he considers to be unseemly shenanigans and improper emphasis on personal+ ities in Parliament, wants out. Indeed, he came near quitting at the height of the Munsinger fracas, but his Irish haste was quickly subdued, and other con- siderations prevailed, A governing factor restraining his resignation at that time might well have been clause 14A (1) of the 1963 Act to amend the Members of Parliament Re- tiring Allowances Act. This reads: "There shall be paid to every person who has held the office of Prime Minister for four years, an annual allowance commencing on the day he ceases to hoid that office or attains the age of 70 years, whichever is the later, equal to two-thirds of the annual salary payable under the Salaries Act to the prime minister on that day, such allowance to continue during his natural life but to cease to be paid during any period that he is a senator or a member of the House of Com mons." BENEFITS ARE MANY The prime minister today re- ceives $25,000 in annual salary; two-thirds of that is $16,667, He also receives, of course, $18,000 a year as an MP, and a car allowance of $2,000, plus the sub- stantial fringe benefits of the official residences at Sussex Drive in Ottawa and at nearby Harrington Lake in the Gatineau Park. Mr, Pearson was sworn in as prime minister April 22, 1963, He will qualify for that pension if he holds the office of prime minister until April 22, 1967, The following day he will reach the age of 70. It is obvious economic - logic that he would naturally prefer not to resign voluntarily hefore April 22 next year, But arrangements for our centenniai must cause him to wish to play the leading role through the months of May, June and July- quite apart from the national undesirability of precipitating a political "bouleversement" at that time, Hence one can rea- sonably predict a fall leadership convention, Mr, Diefenbaker, of course, served as prime minister for more than four years, and he has passed his 70th birthday, He is therefore entitled to draw that ex-prime minister's pension im- mediately he ceases to be an MP. NEEDS MORE TIME If Mr, Pearson were to retire before April 22 next, he would be entitled only to the smaller pension payable to all MPs. Each MP contributes $720 a year towards this pension, Pro- vided that he sits in more than two Parliaments, he may, on retirement, draw infannual pen- sion $300 times each full year for which he has contributed, If he dies before his wife, she may continue to draw three- fifths of his pension, These are subject to maximums of $9,000 a year for the MP's pension, and $5,400 a year for his widow. To qualify for that maximum pension, an MP would have to serve for 30 years. There is only one MP today with that record, name,y the dean of the House, Windsor's Hon. Paul Martin, now foreign minister, France, Russia To Explore Course In Co-operation By HAROLD KING PARIS (Reuters) -- Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin will visit Paris during the first week of December and diplomatic sources say he is expected to explore with President de Gaulle the possibilities of spe- cial political co - operation be- tween France and Russia. They are expected to develop a line of thought started when the two leaders met in Russia in June, France will also make & bid for a bigger share of Rus- sian trade, De Gaulle is understood to be opposed to any attempt to make a peace agreement be- tween NATO and the Warsaw Pact as such, on the ground that it would perpetuate the two blocs, which he sees as helping to increase tension in Europe. The blocs, centred upon the United States and the Soviet Union, each control a huge sphere of influence and are seen by ce Gaulle as potentially a long - term threat to peace and to the freedom of the less pow- erful nations. TO RETURN VISIT It is not expected here that any formal Franco - Russian political agreement will be made during Kosygin's visit. Rut Mis might follow the visit of Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet Com- munist party chief, and Presi- MMR TTA MEN NU AE ETT MT TE TP ye SON AML AT dent Nikolai Podgorny, in April or May, France has received visits this year from other East Euro- pean leaders in a concrete ef- fort to break down East - West barriers and extend trade. French Foreign Minister Mau- rice Couve de Murville has also travelled extensively in Eastern Europe and visited Moscow in pursuit of this policy. The thinking of the Elysee Palace is that there would be no contradiction between a Franco - Soviet political co- operation agreement and France's membership of the At- lantie Alliance. VIWED AS TREATY De Gaulle in any case, it Is recalled here, considers that where France is concerned, the Atlantic Alliance is essentially a Franco - American defence treaty. Any special arrangements by France with Russia, these sources say, would in no way weaken France's obligations un- der the Atlantic treaty. Officials think, however, that a Russian attack on Western Europe, which NATO was de- signed to ward off, is no longer within the realm of practical politics. Other NATO members, French diplomatic sources say, are mak- ing the same assumntion,, even if the governments do not make public statements to, that effect, eee rE ee By Jack Gearin Could Be Real Cliff - Hanger Tum 6,688 votes to 4,209?

Ernie Marks will help it, There hasn't been a three- way mayoralty locally since 1957. That was when Lyman Gifford (now seeking his fourth term) ran roughsod over two aldermanic opponents -- Walt- er Lane and Gordon Attersley. Gifford polled 5,807 votes, Lane 3,586 and Attersley 2,214.

Form- er Alderman John Dyer will attempt a comeback and there is an impressive array of new candidates such as Lawyer Bruce Mackey; William Payn- ter, the. former officer com- manding of the Ontario Regi- ment and member of the Osh- awa Harbor Commission; and Dr, William Rundle, who will likely reap one of the larger bundles of votes. GLANCING BACKWARD The late Ernest Marks, Sr., father of the present Oshawa mayoralty candidate, spent three years as an alderman before he was elected mayor in 1931, which he aptly called: "The worst year of the depres- sion", He spent many after noons in Memorial Park con- ferring with the unemployed, who were one of his prime con- cerns, He settled here with his family in 1922 when Oshawa had a population of 7,500 and predicted: "This city is going to grow, grow, and some day it will have a population of more than 100,000," (viicvdannieteieatiit tii aetregnemttnvtate eg iePq attire NRE nH RR CANADA'S STORY HORNS OF DILEMMA actin ALANA MAE French Beat Blockade By BOB BOWMAN Before Wolfe left Louisburg, N.S., to attack Quebec in 1759, Admiral Durell took some units of the British fleet to blockade the St. Lawrence River. He was too late. Reinforcements from France had already gone up the river and landed their supplies at Quebec, Then the French ships went further up the river and spent the summer shelter- ing in the Richelieu River. After Quebec fell it seemed that they might be lost to France forever, but an effort was made to escape. They waited as long as they dared before freezeup and then dropped down the river to Sil- lery Nov, 22, The British fleet had gone, but Gen. Murray hoped to stop the French ships with his shore guns, They made their run past Quebec on the night of Nov. 24 under heavy bombardment. Seven or eight ships got through, but four ships ran aground and were set on fire by their crews. One of them was a booby- trap. It was stranded on the north shore und blew up when a party of British troops went on board to inspect it. All the men were killed or severely wounded, All winter Gen.

He first sailed to Canada in 1576 to search for the North- west Passage but returned after Eskimos kidnapped some of his men. Queen Elizabeth financed a second voyage the following year because Frobisher had brought back ore which seemed to be gold, but the expedition returned with shiploads of worthless ore so further plans for coloniz- ation were cancelled.

Black Market Back On Job Only Day After Crackdown By HUGH A. MULLIGAN SAIGON (AP)--On a recent morning, U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge took a short stroll around the corner from the U.S. Embassy down a narrow, stall-lined street. What he saw caused him to blow his considerable diplo- matic cool. U.S. post - exchange (can- teen) luxury items in gay pro- fusion glittered on every stand and shelf: vintage cham- pagnes, scotch and bonded bourbon, transistor radios and tape recorders, expensive cameras and other photogra- phic wares, a full line of U.S, military shirts, socks and un- derwear, and enough cans of ham and lima beans (the C- ration item that U.S. soldiers most detest) to cater: for a summer of picnics. The ambassador got the U.S. Navy on the phone and demanded that something be done. The navy called the Vietnamese economic minis- try and suggested that some- thing be done. The ministry called the police and ordered a crackdown. The sirens wailed;. the con- traband was confiscated, The culprits sullenly paid their fines, which amounted to 100- per-cent of the value of the goods--and then arranged for the appropriate under-the-ta- ble payoff to get the goods back in circulation. Next day the black market was in business again. Actually, the ambassador's stroll_had_taken him to only one of Saigon's four black markets, COPS ARE NEIGHBORS The main one, which deals exclusively in military wares --ponchos, knapsacks, combat boots and similar government- issue items ranging all the way up to gasoline generators and air - conditioning units-- is located across from the 2nd precinct police headquarters in a building owned by the city. Inscrutable ladies in conical hats and baggy pyjamas op- erate shabby, crowded stalls and can produce a jeep clutch assembly or an icemaking machine from beneath a pile of rat-gnawed blankets. They dutifully pay rent to the city. Then there is the food mar- ket across from the Redemp- torist Church. It offers a wide selection of tinned bacon, milk, soups, detergents, fruit juices, vegetables and so forth, all stolen from the docks, made available by love-smitten mess sergeants or diverted from the Agency for International Development --the U.S. agency known as ALD. Finally, there is the long line of sidewalk stalls along a wide boulevard where ciga- rettes and candy, soap, U.S. magazines, toothpaste, combs and similar sundries are openly hawked just a few blocks from the downtown post exchange, a main source of supply. The black market is just one phase of a widespread system of pilferage, bribery, smuggling, and diversion of aid uncovered in a months- long study by Associated Press reporters, The com- bined losses to the United States are likely to run at le $500,000 a day, perhaps much' more, TOLD TO LEAVE Just now the. black market is under some pressure. Sai- gon officials have given ven- dors in the area seen by Lodge until Nov. 18 to sell out. Even if the ultimatum works, skeptics say the side- street operations probably will continue, and even the black market sellers dispossessed from the avenues are likely to get back into business. The black market operates in infinite variety and bustling excitement wherever U.S. troops are stationed. Da Nang, with 50,000 marines in the area, has a shop dealing ex- clusively in C rations under a Sign that graciously reads: gs thank the American < for the precicus support. 'Dark Hor: Possibility For Liberals By DON O'HEARN two years, Who will that leader be? By now Charles Templeton cod end Ula tots thomwoms ond ani to Mr, in 1964, may have announced their candidacies, Neither man had committed himself at the time of writing, Mr. Templeton logically. will Y2 t6 SS Tegarced as a ivgni= runner---the man te beat--on the strength of his close race with Mr, Thompson at the last convention, This observer, however, has a hunch that at the start of the campaign Mr. Nixon probably rates ahead in a race between the two men. Mr. Templeton is believed to have ote: in popular favor within the party. His support tends to be a hard core. The people who supported Mr, Thompson in 1964, one suspects, would be more inclined by na- ture to swing behind Mr. Nixon rather than Mr. Templeton. Mr. Templeton has a gogo appeal which impresses some people, but is offensive to oth- ers, And you sense he reached a peak at the 1964 convention. interesting consideration too, is that the party might name somebody completely new as its leader. There are strong arguments favoring such a move. The pro- vincial Liberal party morale at present is at a very-low level. And anyone prominent in the party bears some of the stigma. In the public mind there auto- matically is a defeatist attitude attached to all prominent On- tario Liberals. Secondly, it is b goer only an outsider could really take control of the Liberal caucus, which for-years now has been disorderly and far from firmly loyal to its leaders, A third consideration is that if the party is to go forward in the next election it needs desper- ately to show a forceful new image. And only a new and strong leader, one who has the strength to rarapidly clean house, could do this, The obvious place to look for such a man is the federal house, It is always remembered that Mitch Hepburn came from Ot« tawa to give the party its last days of glory. And the man being talked of as a possibility is John Munro, 35-year-old Hamilton East mem- ber and parliamentary assistant to Manpower Minister Jean Marchand, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, November 22, 1946 The staff of McLaughlin Coal and Supplies Ltd., was. tender. ed a dinner by the manage- ment at the Kiwanis Camp, L, F.
