The Pacific National Exhibition board came under
sharp fire this week from civil liberties and labor
organizations for its ban against city groups, including
peace organizations, from renting booths at this year’s

PNE, which opens Saturday.

The board’s ban was

branded as a gross violation of civil rights.

Carrying their fight to both the
PNE grounds and city council
chambers, the B.C. Civil
Liberties Association
spokesman, Dr. Hal Weinberg,
said his organization would insist
that space be provided this year
to the banned groups.

Tuesday morning about 80
pickets appeared at PNE gates
to protest the ban and later
representatives of the CLA and
various banned organizations
appeared at city council to
demand the city hear delegations
and take up with the PNE board
its refusal to lift the ban.

Meetings are taking place this
week between representatives of
the B.C. Federation of Labor and
the PNE board. Ray Haynes,
executive secretary of the
federation said, ‘‘We are pretty
disturbed about the exclusion of
these groupS from the PNE.”’
Labor Council secretary Paddy
Neale said the PNE board is
being dictatorial and
discriminatory. A meeting
between the PNE and the Civil
Liberties Association is set for
Thursday in Mayor Campbell’s

office.

The PNE board, acting as if it
had authoritarian powers, wrote
a new section into the Rules and
Regulations for the PNE in
February of this year under
which it is now deciding
arbitrarily who shall or shall not
be permitted to exhibit at the
PNE. The controversial section
known as section 25, says in

part:

<‘No political activity of any
kind whatsoever shall be carried
out or suffered to be carried out
by the Exhibitor . . . no political
party, program, theory, interest
or idea of any nature
whatsoever, and either of a
local, national or international
nature, Shall be promoted,

opposed, protested or in any way -

whatsoever . publicized

‘Vietnam.

Partisan activity of all kinds is
prohibited.”

New attempt
to scuttle
rent controls

A new attempt by
reactionary aldermen
backed by Mayor Tom
Campbell, to scuttle the.
committee set up to study
rent controls in Vancouver
was made Tuesday when city
council voted 6-5 to deny a
$250 budget to advertise its
hearings.

A notice of motion was also
given, to be considered next
week, to abolish the
committee made up of
Aldermen Tom Alsbury and
Ed Sweeney. The committee
was set up as a result of a
motion by Ald. Harry Rankin
being upheld recently to go
ahead with the setting up of
rental regulations.

This latest move is an
attempt by big business
aldermen and the real estate
lobby at city hall to defeat
moves to establish public
control over rents in the city.
It is sure to arouse
widespread protest among

tenant and labor groups.
