was a way of life. The road he chose
to travel in Prince Rupert was a rocky
one. It was hazardous, exciting, wind-
ing stretch of highway with new ex-
periences around every curve. How-
ever, it had some good sections where
he could stop and reflect on the past
and contemplate the future. Other
sections he enlivened himself with his
unquenchable sense of humor. |

Students of political science in: one of the
major U.S, universities were recently asked to
comment on the cardinal principles of ‘the Bill
of Rights: To the amazement of the profes-

sors, half of the students indicated they did:
not believe in the right of Americans to peace--

ful assembly. They did not believe in the right
_._of an_accused to meet his accuser face to face
and subject him to cross examination, and they
did. not believe in the privilege against self
incrimination,

But all of them believed in. ‘the USS. Bill of
Rights, though. their answers showed they did
not know what it is.

This forms the premise of a book by a pro-
minent U.S. lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams,
», Who puts forward some disturbing opinions
about modern trends which have equal import-
ance in Canada.

In “One Man’s Freedom”, Williams presents
himself as the lawyer who defended some un-
popular causes, but this. makes his case the
stronger. He was counsel for Senator McCarthy,
James Hoffa and Frank Costello. But because
of his position, it is important that he be heard
when. he states that the “over-reaching of big
government” is not to blame, but the “collec-
tive lethargy and a cavalier attitude of un-
coneern.”

The frightening conclusion from this re-
sponsible lawyer's record is that no man is safe
from investigation that may be dangerous to
the innocent, and from surveillance that leaves
no man’s privacy unguarded, The personal
mail of Senator McCarthy was inspected, and
all) his correspondence were investigated —
cempletely contrary to law. And times without
number, Williams gives Instances of suspects
being questioned in the hope of finding: evi-
dence that will convict them — again contrary
to the Bill of Rights,

him and who will be missed by him.
They knew the job he was trying to
accomplish and appreciated his ef-
forts.

It was a little hard for the man to
leave but leave he had to for the sake
of his health. In going he left a large
part of his life here plus many mem-
ories and an:example that will be hard
to follow. It’s difficult to leave some-
thing one has known and worked for
over a long period of time. At S equally
difficult to start up a new life else-
where. .
We can only say “good luck” to
him, wish him well in the future and
add an adequate “thank you” for all
he’s done.

As a well-known poem says: “No
tears, no sighs, no sad goodbyes, just
so long... .”

Vanishing freedoms... .

One of the more mysterious manisfestations

of the American scene is the senatorial inquiry
er committee. Canadians have often been mys-
tified, or even amused, by the fact that witnes-
ses have pleaded the Fifth Amendment times

without number, apparently reducing ‘the hear- ©

ing to a farce.

Williams explores the case ‘of Dave Beck,
whom he represented before the McClellan
committee, and who refused to answer a plain
question as to whether he knew his own son,
Dave Beck, Jr.

If he had done so, the committee would have
been able to continue with an entire series of
damaging questions about financial affairs with
his son. This was before Beck was charged
with any offence, though he was under indict-
ment for income tax evasion. “The hazards to
the witness were myriad and obvicus,” says: his
counsel.

“The concept of government by consent is
boldly challenged by the concept of govern-
ment by compulsion,” says Williams. ‘We are
directing much of our national energy and
talent into the efforts of the free world to pre-
vent the spread of global communism -—— all to
the end that the liberty, freedom and digtity
of the individual as we have known them will
be preserved.”

A testimony such as this underlines the im-
portance of every campaign to uphold the
the rights of the individual, In Canada we have
a lesson to learn, though there are every-day
instances of the anxiety of government to ex-
tend full justice to every man,

There is still the need for watchfulness,
There is still the fear, as Williams says, that
eltizens would “trade thelr rights for a guar-
antee of total economic security until death.”

Overtime amidst unemployment

Ts jt faly to require overtime from some
workers while others are walting for jobs?

This question arises in sharp form in many
parts of the United States, Examples exist in
Boston and Detroit, ;

In the Hub, where state law forbids a strike
on the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the car-
mens union has opposed in court, thus far. un-
successfully, an order by the general manager
of the system. The contract is not clear, And
even a court decision may not determine the
wisest policy (as distinct from Jaw) in the
matter,

In the Motor City, a spokesman for employ-
ees of Chrysler Corporation declares that while
some overtime may be unavoidable in ‘emer-

gonoics , it in Indefensible to schedule over-—

time when thousands of company workers, are
lald off, —

Much as many workers may like to gel over-

tame they do not’ ike to feel that: they are take

‘ing bread out of the mouths of the familles of

thelr fellows, On the employer's side it can be
argued that complete avoidance of overtime
would involve ine!ficlent practices. And the
very prevalence of “fringe benefits’ makes
managers reluctant fo ndd names to thelr rolls,

These issues call for a great real of analysis,
understanding and forbearance, In a subsidiz-
ed city transit: system, management must have
reasonable authority to make economies, Some
of the discontent in Boston may revolve around
working split shifts that are practically una-
voldiable,

Tn manufacturing Industries there Is a cor
responding need to be compotitive, Yet it is ad-
visable everywhere to avold pushing overtime
too far when the national percentage of jobless
{8 high. Otherwise, more leverage may be given
to agitation for a shorter work week,

Russia deepens hold on Cuba

By HAROLD MORRISON
Press Staff Writer

Canadian

George Ball, United States
undersecretary of state, says
the proposed construction in
Cuba of a big new port for So-
viet trawlers deepens Russia's
hold on the Caribbean island. .
’ This, he told a group of edi-
tors in Washington Wednes-

day, is “an unhappy situation”
in that Cuba will be further:

exploited to serve Russia’s in-
terests,

Pentagon authorities go .a
step farther, suggesting. the
trawlers, armed with electron-
ic and other spying devices,
increase the Soviet threat in

the Western Hemisphere. They +
predict Soviet submarines may”

follow the trawlers into Cuba.

But while official U.S. con-.
cern mounts over expanding.
Soviet power in the Caribbean,
still greater fear

This has further infuriated
segments of the
public, already embittered by
the lack of forthright assist-
ance by Latin. American and
European Allies toward oust-
ing the Fidel. Castro regime.

Many non-Amercians fail to
understand that the Cuban is-
sue has become a widespread
symbol to American frustra-
tion in the cold war; that rea-
son has given way to unbridled
emotions,

Newspaper columnists who
have been attacking the. Ken-

fire on U.S. Allies. Their ar-
gument is that Cuba is not
