Will Visit Summerside ~

z CAPITAL BUREAU “ss OF THE GUARDIAN

OTTAWA — Summerside will be one of the points of call when Defence Minister Paul Hellyer ventures into hostile country to argue his case for service inte- gration and eventual unification.

Mr.-Hellyer told the Commons Tuesday that he hopes to go to the Maritime Command area in two or three weeks to talk to the men and women in Canada’s armed services.

“Plans are being made which will permit a very large cross section of the men and officers of all ranks to express their

views freely,”’ Mr. Hellyer told |

Michael. Forgestail Conserva- tive member for Halifax. “Does the Minister now say that his August presence among members of the. armed forces will take the place of informa-

tion of a dependable character?"’ | asked Opposition Leader Dief- |

enbaker

“On the contrary, it will -be |

that,"’". Mr. Hellyer retorted.

The defence minister, who has | been under increasing fire from |

_$75 Penalties

retired- admirals and _ generals for his service unification plans, is expected to visit Summerside, Halifax, Greenwood and possible Camp Gagetown during his At- lantic visit.

Hon. J. Angus MacLean MP lfor Queens, asked Mr. Hellyer if he was implying that evidence given before the Common’s De- fence Committee earlier in the present session suggested that unification might. be beneficial.

Tr: minister- said that -al- although there may have been suggestions to that effect. what was shown was the satisfaction of most -committee members that the integration process had proceeded satisfactorily.

“And that it is a good. pro- gram in fact a good foundation upon which to build a unificed | defence force in Canaci,"’ Mr. Hellyer replied. cz

Mr.-MacLean referred to a | speech made over.the weekend by the chief of the gercri staff, | Jean V. Allard in which he-was

quoted as saying the program | would. ‘‘Make - all Canadians proud of the Canadian Forces.” He asked if this implied’ that Canadians had not been proud of their forces in the past. Speak- rr Lucien Lamoureux ruled Mr. MacLean’s question out of order.

informants, this was the se- quence of events: Stafendas, a tall, - well-built

man in his 40s, came to work carrying two paper - wrapped packages, believed to conceal knives that police later seized.

He ate only part of his lunch and hurriedly left the messen- gers’ room near the Parliamen- tary Press Gallery. :

RAN INTO MEMBER

Bells were summoning the members to a 2 p.m. session. Dr. A. Radford, an opposition party member, said that as he entered the chamber Stafendas “actually shouldered me aside.” .

WESTERN BRIEFS

“T thought, what rude behav- ior,’ Radford said. '‘He walked on ahead of me as if in a hurry and I assumed that perhaps he had some urgent message.”

Verwoerd was. seated at his ‘desk. Seeing the black - and- green uniform of a messenger, he looked up as the man ap- proached him. The man pulled a knife and plunged it into Ver- woerd’s neck.

As soon as he realized the sil-

J. C. Greyling, a Nationalist party member, went to War- ing’s assistance. With other members, they wrestled Stafen- das to the floor and succeeded in holding him down until po- lice arrived.

rica’s Negro leaders.

As a whole the Negro leaders

of Africa detested -Verwoerd’s apartheid policy and blamed him

for many of the most- stringent segregation laws. Stafendas was reported to have told other Parliament messengers’ he had lived for Marques, Mozambique, in Por- tuguese East Africa and in An- some time in Loureneo Marques, Mozambique, in Por- tuguese East Africa _and in An- gola in Portuguese West Africa. Rebellions against’ white rule have erupted in both areas. The slaying of Verwoerd was the most notorious political as- sassination since that of U.S. oo John. F. Kennedy in 1963.

IN POWER SINCE 1948

party has been in power since 1948. It was returned.to Partia- ment at ‘general elections this- year with a record 126 seats against 44 for the opposition.

Verwoerd led- South Africa out of the Commonwealth in 1961. He obtained approval in a” public referendum among whites for the establishment of

aw Ps—atier—_}

from the United Kingdom as the Union of South Africa.

Verwoerd was born in Hol- jand—Sept— 8, 1901_He—came to South Africa with his parents as a. child and received his early

desia.* a

He continued -his- education at Stellenbosch University in the Cape province, where many of South Africa's apartheid lead- ers went to school. He later be- came a professor of psychology at Stellenbosch. - During the Second Wor War, he was editor of the Na- tionalist. party mouthpiece, . the Johannesburg daily newspaper Die’ Transvaler.

STRONGLY ANTI-BRITISH Both Verwoerd and his news- paper were so strongly anti- British that when the late King George VI visited South Africa in 1947 Die Transvaler declined ito’ report any news of the royal party.

For eight years under nation- alist rule, Verwoerd was min- ister of native (Negro) affairs and fashioned many of South Africa’s segregation laws. - But he also tried to improve the lot of Negroes. He moved many out of shantytowns to quarters just outside white res- idential areas. But he saw that they were kept segregated. Verwoerd often said that sep- aration was the only solution for the races in South Africa. He divided. non - whites into blacks, mixéd bloods (coloreds) and Asians, then assigned each a rigid place in society. Verwoerd married Elizabeth Schoombe in. 1927. They had five sons and two daughters.

legible; they are shrouded to kill glare. All to reduce eyestrain.

Fresh air is constantly circulated, and stale air exhausted, to stave off drowsiness. Even tiny harmonic vibrations, inaudible and unfelt, are tuned out, since they dull the senses.

APPEARANCE: Styling purists say the 230S sits too high. Mercedes-Benz retorts that the driver sits high; with a commanding view of the high- way. He can also:see all four corners of the car without craning.

The 230S steering wheel is indelicate, too. But decidedly functional. Smaller, thinner wheels are less comfortable to grip. And more tiring. FOLDING ENDS: In a head-on crash, the front end of a Mercedes-Benz will fold. It will act as a shock absorber, to cushion impact. If you are hit from the rear, the back end will crumple.

Tests show that up to nine tenths of the force of

impact is dissipated by this patented “folding

body” system. Between’ the shock-absorbing ends is an in- credibly strong passenger area. Roof supports, for example, are built with the strength of a roll bar on a racing car. (The pictures above were taken during a test of this principle.)

CAREFUL PACKAGING: In a Mercedes-Benz

a Consider the Mercedes-Benz 230S. If we shaved a few inches off the roofline, prettied up the dashboard and steering wheel, and softened the seats, the car would certainly have more showroom appeal.

But such changes affect safety—and our engi- neers will not yield on these matters. .

SAFE AT SPEED: Mercedes-Benz refuse to install sofa-soft springs that compromise safe, road- ...ndlding. Any Mercedes-Benz can be driven around a racing Circuit flat out, in utter safety. There’s no need to substitute “heavy duty” parts, either; all parts are “heavy duty”. (Tires on the 230S, for example, cost $44 each.)

ROADHOLDING: The unique Mercedes-Benz low-pivot swing axle started life in a world champion racing car. Its virtues will become in- stantly apparent the first time you are forced to swerve abruptly, brake savagely or corner quickly. BRAKES: Among experts, Mercedes-Benz cars are renowned for their stopping power. The reason 7 . “Titipeccable engineering from the ground up— tires, suspension system, weight distribution. - The brakes themselves (disc: up. front, huge drums at the rear) would stop‘a car of twice the weight.
