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,”

.»RICHMOND,,.Va.. (AP). — 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 - Mrs, Manley, “‘Henever ques- tions his handicap,"

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.
