QUEEN'S PARK Cabinet Solidarity WHITBY 1 Guide Rally. WHITBY (Staff) OTTAWA REPORT Liberal Hopefuls Jostle For Position The Oshawa Simes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, MAY 29, 1967 While Many Graduate, Jobs Remain Unfilled The season of university con- vocations is with us again. It is a time of satisfaction and pride for the young people and their parents as the achievement of the years of scholastic endeavor is' recogniz- ed. And as college careers close the endeavors for which university pre- paration has been made begin. The opportunities, for the most part, are encouraging. This spring, some 25,000 stu- dents are graduating from Canadian universities. Yet the department of manpower and immigration reports employers are still likely to be des- perately short of graduates. Busin- ess leaders support the depart- ™ment's survey. It all sounds encouraging for graduates, but there is a fly in the ointment. Too many are gradu- ating with a three-year general degree and too many of these squeeze through the course with a minimum of effort and motivation. Of the 7,500 graduates in Ontario, more than 4,000 will be general arts graduates, There is nothing to suggest that even the weakest general arts graduate will not find opportunity in the world outside. Expanding in- dustry requires an increasing num- ber of personnel in research and sales and there are openings for them as junior executives. There are also openings in teaching al- though, as one personnel manager pointed out, it is not the best thing for the education system. The preponderance of three- year general arts graduates is to be expected in an age when so many believe that there is some special magic in having large numbers in university. Yet the point is well made by The Guelph Mercury that a realistic remedy can come through the community colleges to be open- ed this fall. At these institutions, students, who otherwise would be forced into arts courses because there is no other place for them will have an opportunity to find meaningful courses of higher edu- cation. Maybe Youre Sleepy ? A simple malady -- lack of sleep -- may be at the heart of many of the complaints made to foctors by people who feel "tense", "run down" or "tired". This is suggested by a study undertaken by Dr. Phillip M. Tiller, Jr. and reported in the May Read- er's Digest. Dr. Tiller carefully questioned a number of patients in whom no organic disease could be found, yet who had a wide variety of com- plaints. He asked them to keep ex- act "sleep diaries", and fed the in- formation thus gained into a com- puter. "Odd facts began to tumble out", notes the Digest. "Contrary to common belief and even some medical texts, Tiller's investiga- She Osharon Sines 86 King St. E.. Oshawe, Ontarie L. WI T. @& C. PRINCE, General Manager C. J.

"When the "ill" patients were put on a schedule of nine or ten hours of sleep nightly, symptoms disappeared or diminished within a few days. "Why do so many millions of people live on a schedule that short. changed them of sleep?" the article asks, "Apparently, many like the accompanying tension, feeling that it gives them the ability to com. pete in a high-pressure world." The argument has little or no validity, says the Digest. "The fact is that people per- form more efficiently when proper- ly rested." Other Editors' Views DISASTROUS PROPOSAL The remedies proposed by the Canadian Association of © Police Chiefs could prove more disastrous for Canadian society than the in- creasing crime and violence they are designed to cure, The additional powers which the association is seeking in a brief presented to a federal inquiry on the administra- tion of justice would suspend the fundamental guarantees of freedom and justice. --Calgary Herald | By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--It is the Conserva- tive party whose leadership race is attracting all the atten- tion. But, less flamboyantly-- because the convention date has not yet been set--contestants for the succession to the Liberal leadership are also actively jos- tling for position. Although Lester Pearson the man is personally liked by nearly all the members of the Liberal parliamentary caucus, there is little liking for the in- heritance of the specific mantle of Lester Pearson the leader. So the Liberal contest is shap- ing up--in vivid contrast to the older Conservative contest-- with little consideration of the present leader as a factor. A paternalistic influence and laying on of hands is therefore being exercised--if by anyone-- only by the man who has es- sayed the role of kingmaker before, Walter Gordon. He had considerable power and _ influ- ence in the high councils of his party during the late Diefen- baker days and the early Pear- son days of government. In a sense, he dominated the 'Sixty Days of Decision' which were heralded to open the Pearson government. While his credibil- ity as finance minister began to wane from the introduction of his very first budget, he has however, in or out of the cab- inet, remained a power within his party. And now he is again trying to exercise his influence, in the choice of a new leader, Specifically, it appears that he hopes to tilt the scales against the rightward corrective move- ment now gaining ground among a government which had toppled unduly leftwards. Even before Lester Pearson became prime minister, his leadership was the cause of con- cern rather than confidence. In effect, the search for a new Liberal leader has never been far below the surface since the 1962, election. Paul Martin showed in front at first. Then Bob Winters was pushed for- ward by the power elite, but he dropped back to square one when he failed to run in the 1963 election. Paul Martin forged ahead again. Then an expert promotion job, -playing all the angles from choirboy to bulldozer, propelled Paul Helle yer into prominence until he revealed his damaging inflexi- bility. Now Mitchell Sharp is showing slightly ahead, thanks to his proven administrative ability and his rightist tenden- cies. Close behind him Paul Martin still attracts the money of the wise betters, although he is getting older and despite the fact that his -job as foreign Minister compels him to utter woolly platitudes. Long promi- nent among the second flight of ministers, and now receiving the consideration which is his due, is the brilliant, experienced but un-driving Health Minister, Nova Scotia's Allan Mace Eachen. Following the Mackenzie King technique of occupying the whole political road from right to left, and offering something for everyone, the leadership candidates are now forming up in tandems. These couple left with right, French with English- speaking, and whatever other opposites can be manoeuvred. There is the Duo of Paul Mar- tin and John Turner. This cou- ples the long experience and success of the dean of the House of Commons with an ap- peal to youth's mini-mods. In an interesting reverse, it links a French-Canadian from On- tario with an English-speaking Quebecker. Then there is Mitchell Sharp and Maurice Sauve, right with left, Ontario United Church with Quebec Catholic, bureau- crat with intellectual. Now the king-maker has en- tered two late-comers, Revenue Minister Ned Benson and Man- power Minister Jean Marchand, an Ontario slightly right ac- countant and a Quebec ex-so- cialist ex-labour leader. Walter Gordon and the ex-Liberal chief whip, Jimmy Walker--who also happens to be Benson's parlia- mentary secretary--have been trying to peddle the. line that this entry is the hot favorite, but few fish are biting. All this activity is based on the expectation that the race will be open and official quite soon, perhaps this fall. Course Difficult To Assess Of 'Collective' Leadership By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--It has been more than. 24% years. since Nikita Khrushchev was uncere- moniously bounced from the Soviet leadership and his suc- cessors proclaimed the end of the cult of personality and the establishment of "collective leadership," The turnabout has been ab- solute. The leadership that took over has been not only collec- tive but faceless. For this reason, analysts still can't figure out whether the U.S.S.R. is heading toward busi- ness-like accomplishment or is doomed to rudderless drifting. Leonid Brezhnev, as secretary of the all-powerful Communist party, is obviously the foremost equal among equals of the party's ruling 11-man politburo. But whereas Khrushchev wielded his influence openly, Brezhnev prefers to work be- hind the scenes. And whereas Khrushchev was colorful and impulsive, Brezhnev is de- cidedly low - voltage. He also appears to be less autocratic, perhaps concerned personally with preserving the facade of equality. The question that competent observers find difficult to an- swer is whether, beneath this many - layered opaqueness, things are getting done in a quietly efficient way that would never have been possible under Khrushchey, There is some evidence of a sense of direction in economic affairs, with Premier Alexei Kosygin pushing a much-needed program of reform emphasizing individual incentive. Another field in which changes are taking place is the arts. However, this appears more idental than pl d, possibly a result of lack of di- rection from the top. Khrushchev took personal in- terest in the arts, seeing that the intelligentsia operated within tight ideological confines. The present leadership seems inclined to let the intellectuals battle it out among themselves. There is no sign the conserva- tives are in danger of losing control but there have been stirrings on the part of Liberals anxious to break the tight re- straints on artistic expression. In foreign affairs, Moscow continues to play it cool, avoid- ing spectacular initatives and the equally spectacular mis- takes of Khrushchev. BIG PROJECT ON REGINA CAMPUS 16 NEWSPAPERS COVERED Cross-References To News Stories Provided By BOB BARRY REGINA (CP) -- An index system providing a cross-ref- erence file on the thousands of stories appearing in Cana- dian daily newspapers is in late stages of development at the Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan. The Canadian News Index, ex to be issued on a i ag basis starting. later this year, would provide a reference guide to news items appearing in some 16 news- papers across the country. It would list items under subject headings and give a short summary of the item, the name of the paper in which it appeared and the date, page and column. Dr. Bernard Zagorin, 37- year-old Chicago-born associ- ate professor of history and one of the editors of the in- dex, says he hopes it can ga into full-time operation this year, perhaps next fall. The index is the brainchild of Dr. Bernard K. Johnpoll, a former news editor with the Boston Record - American, who began work on it when he was a political science pro- fessor at the university. He now is at the State University of New York in Albany. PUBLISHED SAMPLE "The index would be useful to anyone doing research--an- thropologists, sociologists, his- torians, journalists -- anyone except financial and sports although some newspapers have been keeping a similar wanting significant press cov- erage without having to go through tons and tons of newspapers," says Dr, Za- gorin, "All Canadiana of any significance whatsoever would go in," A sample index was pub- lished earlier this year and distributed to more than 500 newspapers, libraries, univer- sities and other institutions in Canada and the United : States. More than 4,000 news items appearing in 13 papers during March 1-15, 1966, were con- tained in the 134-page sample. Three Ontario newspapers were included, two in Quebec and one in each of the other eight provinces, "We plan to expand the number of papers somewhat and include a few prominent FrenchCanadian papers. We might include another one from the Toronto industrial area~perhaps the Hamilt news. A group of graduate students then summarized the -items.in paragraphs of 50 words or less and classified them into one of 12 cate- gories, The results then were fed into a computer, which put the items in the proper order. The sample index took 550 sheets of computer paper which were published in book form. Some items can appear un- der more than one alphabeti- cal heading and are listed with more than one newspa- per. This, says Dr. Zagorin, is to facilitate locating the item in the index and permit re- searchers without access to some papers to find the ar- ticle in another paper. Some criticism has been received about the sample index, such as small print, occasional spelling mistakes and the titling system for Spectator." However, at present Dr. Zagorin and Dr. A. R. Allen, nn, assistant professor of his- tory and the other editor of the index, are awaiting reac- tion to the sample index be- fore proceeding. NO SPORT IN INDEX To compile the sample in- dex, the editors picked out all significant news in the papers, r4 but Dr. Zagorin Says these can be corrected and the editors can solve problems "with the give and take of criticism." "We think we've straight- ened out most of the wrinkles we first had, including trouble we had programming the summaries for the computer. But we had to start right from scratch. There's: nothing like this at all on this scale we could use for comparison, 4 file on their own stories for years." $250 A YEAR Several universities, includ- ing the University of Texas and University of Iowa, al- ready have expressed interest and agreed to subscribe to the index when it starts on a full- time basis, Dr. Zagorin says. Cost of the index would be about $250 annually. It would be issued at two-week inter- vals soon after the newspa- pers were published -- '"'two weeks late at the most, maybe a week-and-a-half." Total cost. of the project is expected to run to about $100,- 000 but "we feel this will be a paying proposition and could stand on its own two feet after three or four years." At present it operates on a university grant. Daily newspapers included in the sample index were the Vancouver Sun, Calgary Her- ald, Regina Leader-Post, Win- nipeg Tribune, Toronto Star, Toronto Globe and Mail, Ot- tawa Journal, Montreal Star, Montreal Gazette, Saint John Telegraph - Journal, Char- lottetown Guardian, Halifax Chronicle - Herald and St. John's News, Papers were chosen for such factars as phe spacer coverage and politi- | THE PEACE MARCHERS INTERPRETING THE NEWS Major Parties Divided By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP)--Both major parties appear to be deeply di- vided over the issue of Ameri- can bombing raids in North Vietnam, One week after the moral di- lemma sparked a special cab- inet meeting and a long debate in the Liberal caucus, it~ split the Conservatives down the mid- die in a Commons vote. While angry farmers were demonstrating for higher milk prices on Parliament Hill Wed- nesday, 162 MPs took a clear stand for or against American bombing in a little-noticed vote. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker and two men expected to seek the party leadership in September, Alvin Hamilton and Michael Starr, went on record in favor of Canada pressing the U.S. to halt its bombing. Two other Conservative lead- ership aspirants, Davie Fulton and George Hees, were among 92 MPs who were absent for the vote on a New Democratic non- confidence motion, GORDON MISSING Privy Council President Gor- don, who denounced U.S. inter- vention in Vietnam in a May 13 speech, also missed the vote, in which the life of the minority Pearson government was at stake. Mr. Gordon was in the House when the two-day foreign affairs debate opened Tuesday. The NDP motion was defeated 128 to 34. Twenty - nine Conservatives, including five former members of the Diefenbaker cabinet, joined 92 Liberals, three Cred- itistes, and three independents and one Social Credit MP, How- ard Johnston, to defeat the mo- tion. A 380th Conservative, Lee Grills (Hastings South), said he would have opposed the resolu- tion too, but he was "paired" with an absent Liberal, Jack Roxburgh (Norfolk). TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 29, 1967... The liner Empress of Can- ada, pride of the St. Law- rence - transatlantic run, collided with a freighter 53 years ago today--in 1914-- and sank near Rimouski, The motion was supported by 13 New Democrats and 21 Con- servatives, including former health minister Waldo Monteith, Party Whip Reynold Rapp and Roger Regimbal, co - chairman of the Sept. 6-9 Conservative leadership convention in Tor- onto. Before the vote, former de- fence minister Douglas Hark- ness said passage of the motion "would aid and comfort the gov- ernment of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong" and likely would prolong the war. The U.S. had good intentions and was "'responsible for main- taining peace and containing communism." The day before, Mr. Diefen- baker had urged the govern- ment to appeal publicly for a U.S. bombing pause in the hope it would lead to peace talks. Prime Minister Pearson argued against a public statement, but informants said he made a sim- ilar proposal in his private talks with President Johnson at his Harrington Lake country retreat Thursday. First Effective Governor Of B.C., Terrific Salesman By BOB BOWMAN James Douglas, the first ef- fective governor of British Co- lumbia, must have been an ex- traordinary salesman. When gold was discovered in the arid Cariboo country, he had to find ways and means to build a road through 500 miles of some of the most difficult terrain in Canada. He already had a number of severe problems. One of them was to preserve order among th of prospectors who had. come from the United States. If they began fighting among themselves, or with the Indians, the U.S. would send in troops to "protect" them, and British Columbia would become part of the U.S. Douglas began a survey of the area May 29, 1861, and not only organized a police system, but persuaded the prospectors to help build the road, without pay! Mule trains were used to carry in supplies. Each mule packed 250 pounds of freight, and travelled about 10 miles a day. Then teamster Frank Lau- meister had a brilliant idea. Somehow he managed to buy 21 camels, and put them to work on the trail. Each camel could carry about 1,000 pounds of freight and cover 30 miles a day. The camels were also bet- ter suited than mules to the hot, dry conditions in the Cariboo where there was little drinking water. However, there was a sad dis- advantage. Camels smell aw- ful! When a camel train met a mule train, the mules would often panic, and rush down the ravines. Some of them were killed, and valuable supplies were lost. Laumeister found himself facing a number of law- suits, and had to abandon the camels, although they lived in British Columbia for years. There are pictures of them in the archives, There was an amusing incl- dent in Victoria where the camels were landed before be- ing taken to the mainland. A small boy came running home and told his father that he had seen two wild beasts with humps on their backs coming along the road. Of course the father would not believe the boy, but finally had to go to see for himself. A Victoria newspaper reported what hap- pened: '"'As soon as his eyes fastened upon the monsters, his own courage departed, and with blanched cheeks and trembling steps he hastily regained the: shelter of his own home". The wild beasts were a female camel and her offspring who had escaped from the herd.

Essential By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One absolutely firm principle in our system of government is that there must be cabinet solidarity. That once @ man enters a government he loses the right to speak for him- self unless and until he leaves the government. In recent weeks we have seen two examples of why we must have this rule. One was the case of Walter Gordon criticizing U.S. policy in the Vietnam war. > The other was the instance of Attorney-General Arthur Wish- art here putting forward his Personal opinions in the debate on Confederation. Both men, of course, had to be reprimanded by their lead- ers. Distasteful as this course would have been to them they had no other course, In the case of Mr. Gordon no matter how much he might in- sist that his remarks were per- sonal, they would be_ inter- preted in the U.S. as from the government, He might consider them as partitular to him, but they would be accepted as a statement of the general opinion of the country, unless repudi- ated, And the same applies to Mr. Wishart. And the same applies to Mr, Wishart. He expressed the opinion, in effect, that the provinces should be senior to the federal govern- ment. As the opinion of one member of the legislature here, this would not be of much impor- tance. It would be a radical view and recognized as such-- along with the fact that private Members of our parliaments often put forward radical views, But as the opinion of a min- ister of a government it has quite a different weight. Ottawa could interpret it as the opinion of the government, and it could set back the course of federal- provincial relations immeasur- ably. As for Mr. Wishart person- ally, this is not by any means the first time this well liked and respected minister has landed into controversy over state- ments he has made. He has been inclined to talk quite freely on occasion, This is perhaps because he was not long-schooled in politi- cal life when he entered the government. He entered the house only in 1963, and then through the Po- lice Act incident ended up as Attorney-General less than a year later. ; This means he had no great experience of the delicacies in- volved. And he since has suf- fered for this. YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO May 29, 1952 John M. Phillips has secured first class honors in the final examination in the Faculty ot Dentistry.
