2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Mey 16, 1967 A GLANCE AROUND THE GLOBE Big Strike Threat Worry To DeGaulle PARIS (AP)--With a nation- wide general strike hanging over his head, President de Gaulle is expected to outline his case at his semi-annual press conference for his government's request for emergency legisla- tive powers. The president was certain to try to dull the opposition of the French left to his government's attempt to legislate by decree on economic and social matters until Nov. 1. Since defence and foreign pol- icy are the private preserves of the presidency, de Gaulle is asking the new National Assem- bly to yield its only important areas of control and in effect to suspend itself from office before it has had an opportunity to warm the assembly benches.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Johnson administration gradu- ally is gearing its money oper- ations--including the national debt--for a Vietnam war lasting at least.as long as the U.S. in- volvement in the Second World War. A request Monday to Con- gress for a permanent debt call- ing of $365,000,000 to carry the government through June 30, 1969, was only one of several recent moves in that direction. They also include President Johnson's request for a six-per- cent income tax surtax, sales of new "freedom share" sav- ings bonds pegged directly to the length of the war and a voluntary program to halt the flow of investment dollars over- seas. PRESIDENT JOHNSON . . » Long War Seek Revision TORONTO (CP)-- Lands and Forests Minister Brunelle prom- ised Monday to seek revision of a 1904 treaty under which the White Ready To Quit Job End Of Year GENEVA (CP)--Eric Wynd- ham White, the key figure in the world's biggest round of tariff cuts, said today he has \had "about enough" and will |quit his job at the end of the year.

Dental Case TORONTO (CP) A dental care program, in so far as legislation is concerned, can be obtained by any province that can exert sufficient pressure on the federal government, Dr. Ralph. A. Connor, chief of the \dental division of the national department of health, said Mon- day. in an address to the annual convention of the joint Canadian and Ontario dental associations, he called on dentists to stimu- late public interest in support of their profession to bring dental care to all those who need it. American Rapped LONDON, Ont. (CP)--Ameri- cans are lying when they say they are bombing selectively or with precision, Dr. Gustavo To- lentino, a Toronto physician and a recent visitor to North Viet- nam, said Monday night. "They (American troops) are bombing civilians and civilian buildings in Vietnam. Highways and railways are bombed only when they go through towns," Dr. Tolentino said. Dr. Tolentino was the guest speaker of the London Medical Aid for Vietnam Committee. The committee, which is non- political, was formed last fall and works in conjunction with as cor ible and I have informed governments I will not seek nor accept a re- newal of my mandate at the end of the year,' the 54-year-old tariff expert added in an inter- view. Wyndham White, native of Britain, is the secretary-general of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. He has held the appointment since GATT was formed in 1947. "while I have never regretted undertaking this difficult job, this is not a comfortable seat and I have had about enough," the tariff chief added. WAS TIRED MAN | Bleary - eyed from lack of sleep, Wyndham White held a lengthy discussion with this re- porter just a matter of hours after the Kennedy round tariff struggle came to an end and victory was achieved in carving the biggest tariff reductions in history. "This is probably the last of the major pure tariff exer- cises," he said. "The next stage may come in establish- ment of free trade among ma- jor international industries. But this will involve a lot of struc- tural changes in the field of kindred problems." considers the haven't stopped it."

The Kennedy round, he said, has helped reduce the multi-lateral "erosion" but "we GENEVA (CP)--A new thrée- year wheat agreement, nego- tiated during the Kennedy round of world tariff bargaining, will have higher floor and ceiling prices, but the increases won't be as large as Canadian growers initially demanded, A Canadian expert, making a detailed study of the complica- ted new pricing structure, esti- mated the floor in Canadian funds will rise by about 21 cents a bushel while the ceiling will increase by about 1714 cents for No. 1 northern grade at the Lakehead. In American funds the floor would increase by about 19 cents and the ceiling by about 16% cents, Canadian growers originally hoped to get a boost of some 40 to 50 cents a bushel. Canadian negotiators trimmed their de- mands at the Kennedy round to about 25 cents and this was gradually pared again in tough bargaining. SHOW CONCERN One expert said late Monday that growers wanted a big boost in both the floor and the ceiling but were more concerned about the floor, as an insurance against surplus years when pro- duction might outweigh market- ing opportunities. The current Canadian price for No. 1 northern at the Lake- head is about 17 cents a bushel above the floor, in Canadian funds. The wheat agreement which expires next July is based on $1.745¢ a bushel floor and $2.175¢ a bushel ceiling, basis No. 1 northern in Canadian funds. Trade Minister Winters told the House of Commons in Ot- tawa Monday that the new price range for Canadian wheat sales, under the Geneva tariff agree- ment, will be $1.95 to $2.35%4, TORONTO (CP) -- Dr. Fred Cruickshank, acting chief Me- tropolitan Toronto coroner, Mon- day ordered an inquest into a Jan. 15 death which Dr. Morton Shulman, former chief Metro coroner, said required no in- quest. Dr. Cruickshank said he first ordered an inquest on Jan. 16 after he investigated the death of David Strongman, 21, in his car in the garage of the Strong- mans' suburban Etobicoke home. Dr. Cruickshank said he was told at the time by Dr. Shulman that no inquest was necessary. Dr, Shulman admitted Monday he had ruled against an inquest. He said Dr. H. B. Cotnam, Ontario supervising coroner, was fully informed of the facts of the death at the time. "Dr. Cruickshank was anx- ious to hold an inquest but I instructed him not to because the purpose of an inquest is to prevent future deaths. This was a freak accident which would not repeat itself in 100 years. The case is an example when Inquest Due In Death Despite Shulman Ruling not to hold an inquest--when it can save no future lives and can produce only anguish to the parents and expense to the public." FATHER AGAINST INQUEST W. Morley Strongman, the dead man's father, objected to the inquest which Dr. Cruick- shank has scheduled for May 25-26. He said' he was satisfied his son's death was accidental. "If there was to be an in- quest, it should have been held three and a half months ago," Mr. Strongman said. "This is a lot of foolishness." Dr. Cotnam said Monday an inquest should be held. Dr. Cotnam said no one had the right to halt an inquest. "That includes me and the ora dliataac and everyone else. : A royal commission inquiry, headed by Mr. Justice W. D. Parker, resumes hearings May 23 into charges by Dr. Shulman that government officials have ee in inquests in On- rio. Three-year Wheat Pact Not As High As Asked Canadian funds for No. 1 Mani- toba northern in store at the Lakehead. Under the new pact, tied for the first time to.a food aid pro- gram, the pricing formula will be based on American hard red winter wheat shipped to U.S. Gulf of Mexico ports. Price dif- ferentials have been established for different grades. Importing countries declined to pledge purchases of specific Lg of wheat under the new pact. VETOES REDUCTION The European Common Market had suggested that the U.S. restrict price supports, to damp down home production in return for guaranteed access to European markets. The U.S. would not agree and therefore access became an issue no longer negotiable. But Europe and other indus- trialized countries did agree to a food aid program whereby a pool of some 500,000,000 bushels of wheat will be set aside dur- ing a three-year period for ship- ment to undernourished and famine-stricken countries. Canada will pay for and put up 11 per cent of the total, the U.S. 42 per cent, European Common Market 23 per cent, Britain and Japan, five per cent each. Canadian Agriculture Minister Greene said in a statement the new food aid program embodied the principle for the first time that food aid for the starving "shall be paid for by all--in- cluding both the exporters and the importers of wheat."
