ECONOMIC UNION.

Premier Bennett iolts federal -
conference with market >roposal

OTTAWA (CP) — British Col:
umbia jolted the ‘federal-provin-
cial economic conference today,
proposing economic union be-
tween Canada and the United
States in a North American
common market.

Premier W. A. C. Bennett,

putting the proposition to the
three-day heads-of-government
conference, said the move could
be made without sacrificing Ca-
nadian sovereignty. He pointed
to Britain’s entry in the Euro-
pean Common Market as an ex-
ample.

The Social Credit premier
also repeated his criticism that
Prime Minister Trudeau's Lib-
eral government has an anti-
American bent, warning that
federal measures to boost em-
ployment won't work if “Can-
ada’s implicit trade alliance
with the U.S. is shattered
through unseemly federal gov-
ernment statements toward our
great American neighbor.”

The British Columbia view
was diametrically opposed to
that expressed by New Demo-
crat Premier Allan Blakeney of
Saskatchewan, who urged the
federal government to embark
on a program to buy up key
sectors of the Canadian econ-
omy now owned by Americans.
EXPECT LIVELY DEBATE

Mr. Bennett’s opening state-
ment, released outside the
closed conference session after
it was under way, appeared
likely to provoke some lively
discussion.

Besides the common market
proposal, Mr. Bennett
suggested a guaranteed annual
income program be adopted to
replace federal equalization
frants. These are made by
Ottawa to the poor provindes to
reduce regional economic
disparities.

Ottawa has handed out $5.5
billion in such payments since
1957, Mr, Bennett said, and
Quebec has received 47 per cent
of the total.

“There islittle evidence these
Unconditional grants ... have
increased the relative standard
of living of the citizens in the
areas in which they have been
received.”

Regional disparities had con-

- tinued and the. unconditional

' grants’ ‘program: -must be-as- -

sessed ''a failure.” .

A guaranteed annual i income
plan would be “‘a yalid and for-
ward-looking" alternative.

Hijacker —
said to be
"quiet" man

CALGARY (CP) — Paul Cini,
27, charged in the hijacking of
an Air Canada DC-3 Friday,
was described by his neighbors
Sunday as “quiet and very
aloof.”

He lived with his father,
mother and a younger brother
in a white duplex in southwest
Calgary. He tame to the city
five years ago from the United
States to join his parents,

Cini’s home town in the U.S.
was not known.

Neighbors said the whole fam-
ily kept to themselves, minding
their own business,

A neighbor said he was “the |
type of guy you hardly ever no-
lice in a neighborhood—very
quiet,”

Cini had been employed as a
driver of a delivery truck. The
neighbors described his appar-
ent fondness for cars, ‘saying
that he was always tinkering
with some vehicle and that he

‘drove many different models
and makes during the last five
years.

‘Cini was under: ‘police guard

in hospital, making:what hospi- -

tal authorities described as

“satisfactory”! progress in re-
covering from 4 concussion and
4 two-inch. gash. in his head
after he’ was: removed uncon-
scious from the DCB early Sal-
urday, |

Backing up his common mar-
ket proposal, Mr. Bennett said
Britain, even with 56 million
population, found its markets
too small and had decided, de-
spite long-standing differences
with some European countries,
to join the European market.
Canada could do the same thing
in an economic union of her 22
million people with the 207 mil-
lion in the United States.

“With the United States’
higher level of personal income
and the great American pro-
pensity to consume, Canada
would gain from a common
market membership.”

Tariffs between the two coun-
tries should be pared 10 per
cent each year, with a duty-free
common market reached in 10
years,

Aspate of opening statements

by: the provincial leaders were
released as the conference
opened, amid strict secrecy, in
the federal conference centre.
Most premiers, however, had
made their general positions
known before the start.

Every province except New-
foundland was represented.
Premier Joseph Smallwood and
members of his delegation
missed the opening because bad
flying weather delayed their de-
parture from St. John’s.

Only photographers were al-

lowed into the conference
chamber at opening time.

On the way into the confer-
ence, Trade Minister Jean-Luc
Pepin was asked whether any-
thing was going to happen at
this meeting?

“"No,”" he replied. “Nothing
ever does,”

To eight-year-old “Jonathan ~
Manley of Powhatan, Va,,
having one leg is no handicap,
even when it comes to sport.

‘ Jonathan, who was born
with one leg, loves sport and
takes part in competition a lot
of kids with two legs don’t do
at all well. For instance, he
recently entered the punt-pass
‘contest, a United States foot-
ball competition for youngs-
ters, and placed second in his
age group. .

“He’s tough as shoe
leather,” says Jonathan's
mother, Mrs. Ja.nes D. Man-
ley. “The other kids adore
him.

“In the first grade, they
liked to play with his crutches
so much that at times when
he needed them, he couldn't
use them. Somebody was off
playing with them,”

Jonathan has not let his
handicap doom him to the
role of a spectator in sports.
He also plays little. league
baseball, is an accomplished
swimmer, rides a bike and
bowls.

“We've tried 50 hard to give”
him the right attitude,” said -

World’ S mechanical -

heart holder dies.

DETROIT (AP) — Haskell Shanks, 63, the world’ 8 longest’.
living recipient of a partial mechanical heart, has died of.a
kidney failure, Doctors saic his artificial heart was functioning

normally at his’ death.

The Warren, Mich, man lived with the mechanical
device three months and three days, ‘

Death came Sunday at Detroit’s Sinai Hospital, where he
was admitted Oct. 4 for a chest infection which doctors believed
was brought an by his weak condition at the time of the heart °

operation Aug. 11.

While the chest infection was cured with antibiotics, doctors

said, his kidneys weakened.

“Tt must be emphasized that the demise of the patient does
not appear to be related to the mechanical heart," a hospital
spokesman said. “There was no evidence of any. rejection on the
part of the body to the-mechanical device.” - ;

The device doctors implanted in Shanks’ chest served as an

auxiliary pump doing about 50 per cent of the work of the heart's

main pumping chamber.

Mountain of advice |
faces Pope Paul

VATICAN CITY (Reuter) —
Pope Paul faces a mountain of
conflicting advice on fun-

damental questions he now

must sort out to decide the
future course of the Roman
Catholic Church.

For 38 days from Sept. 30 to
Nov. 6, the world synod of Cath-
olic bishops wrestled with the
problems, Their discussions
were sometimes confusing and
their deliberations often re-
flected widely-varying opinions
—so much so thattwo final draft
documents on the debate have
not been made public officially,

The action Pope Paul eventu-
ally decides to take on the rec-
ommendations is crucial to the
development of the church, cov-
ering such controversial ques-
tions as priestly celibacy, ordi-
nation of married men, the
place of women in the church
and society, social justice and
political participation.

The synod of 210 participants
from all over the world has de-
veloped into the chief advisory
body on the government of the
Roman Catholic Church since
Pope Paul revived it.

An early church institution, it
long ago had ceased function-
ing. Pope Paul called it into

‘being again in 1967 to meet

every two years and give him
opinions on the most serious
problems facing the church

Members expressed. reserya-
tions on most of the proposals
discussed. All the reservations
and cumments, as-well as the
proposals themselves, now are
being studied . by Vatican’ ex-

The Pope will have their anal- .
ysis to help him decide how to
act.

An illustration of his difficul-
ties was highlighted by the dis-
cussion on whether married
men should be ordained as
priests where there was a grave
shortage of clergy.

The bishops were so divided
on the issue, which dominated
much of the synod debate, they
found they could not present. a
simple opinion,

In their final vote, 107 came
out against allowing married
men to be ordained even in spe-
cial situations, Another 87 rec-
ommended leaving the possibil-
ity open, They then decided to
give the Pope their divided
views and left him to make a
final decision,

One thing he will not do is .

change the church’s general
law on celibacy. Under this,
single men becoming priests
“must pledge themselves to a life
of chastity—a law which has
been much challenged of late.
