Fishing

Is Hoped Né: N

By NICK FILLMORE

HALIFAX (CP) — There is only a remote possibility that fishing grounds in the northwest Atlantic will be closed for sev- eral months of the year in the future, Fisheries Minister Robi- chaud said here Monday.

“There are other conserva- tion methods which we hope could become .more acceptable to nations fishing in the north- west Atlantic.” Mr. Robichaud said. “The fishing industry has too great an effect on the Ca-

. Badian .economy. If we lost our

fishing industry for several months each year, the result could be disastrous.”

Mr. Robichaud was speaking at a pfess conference following the official opening of the 15th annual meeting of the Interna- tional Commission for North- wes! Atlantic Fisheries. There are 13 member nations at the meeting. which ends Saturday.

Gr

ra

would be given at the meeting to have the fishing season closed on George's Bank, off the New England coast, for sev- eral months of the year.

COD SCARCE

Concerned mainly with con- servation. lenaf delegates are studying several methods of preversing the stocks of fish in the northwest Atlantic, especi- ally decreasing stocks of cod and haddock.

Consideration is being given a@ proposal that fish catch lim- its...be established. - for _lenaf members. But delegates , are having a hard time to agree on how such regulations would be enforced : :

It is doubtful if the more than & delegates at the meeting will come up with the answers to the gatch limit problems this year, a spdkesman said. Other meth- ods of .conservation would also be given consideration.

lers has been the most effec- tive method of assuring that smaller fish would survive. The build-up in fishing pressure has been so great, however, that mesh regulations alone are not longer considered adequate WANT SAVE SEALS

Mr. Robichaud told Ienaf the conservation of seals is of par- ticular concern to Canada and to other Icnaf members who take part in the seal fishery.

In 1961 Ienaf adopted a rec- ommendation to become respon- sible for the conservation of harp and hood seals. But the recommendation has not been ratified by two member nations —Italy” and Poland—neither of which participate in the north- west Atlantic seal hunt.

Leading Italian delegate at the meeting, Dr. G. Cannone, said Italy would ratify the seal proposal before the 1966 annual meeting. Dr. F. Chrzan of Po- land said his nation would also ratify the proposal.. .* “}

Maritimes Union Called -

Possibility For Future

By JOHN MOSHER

SAINT JOHN. N.B. (CP) Panelists at a Maritime Prov- inces Board of Trade session Monday agreed on the possibil- ity of Maritime political union in the distant future.

Chairman J..M. Murphy of Truro said none of the speak- ers was ‘against such union—a subject revived by New Bruns- wick Premier Robichaud a year ago. The New Brunswick and Nova Scotia legislatures this year accepted government-spon-

sored resolutions favoring com- |

mission study of the matter. The commissions have yet to be appointed.

“TI don't think Maritime union is for tomorrow,” said Dr. A. J. Boudreau, director of extension and public relations at the Uni- versity of Moncton:

“But I believe we have got to start immediately with an ag- gressive program of economic integration, followed in years or decades by a political union which will scandalize less and less people.” :

Cartoonist Greene Dies

WYCKOFF, NJ. (AP)—Ver- non V. Greene, cartoonist who drew the comic strip Bringing up Father. died Saturday night after a long illness at the age of 56. Before taking over the drawing of the famous strip from its originator, the late George McManus, in the 1950s, he had drawn the comic strip The Shadow for King Features Syndicate.

, W. R. Brennan. president of the Charlottetown board of trade, said union ‘‘must be as- sessed in terms of tomorrow, and the fundamental would be a more effective eco- nomic unit.”

NOT UNIONISTS. °

Maritimers were not unionists of any kind, and New Bruns- wickers in particular were vio- lently opposed to Confederation, which was “practically imposed ‘on them,” said Dr. Boudreau. :

He suggested that union, if ever accomplished. would not be easy. “It sort of goes against our grain.”

French - Canadians had be- come an important minority in New Brunswick—388 per cent of the population—and he be- lieved they are now in a position to obtain correction of some grievances felt over the years. _In case of Maritime union they would number 350,000 in a population of more than 2.000,- 000, or only 16 per cent. Some were not _completely -satisfied that the “‘change of heart” has \improved to the extent it would not affect the future of their language, traditions, and cul- i ture.

| Many believed the next long step forward should be political union after a number of years, following integration of eco- nomic activities in the whole region which already was grad- ually taking root.

“French leaders realize that survival depends on eco- nomics,” said Dr. Boudreau

Guy Henson, director of the Institute of Public Affairs at Dathousie University, said:

“Perhaps the read will lead to political union: perhaps it will stop short of full politica) un- ion. It ‘may’ well come about that. after a period of analysis, discussion™ and further experi- ence. we will feel justified in embarking upon a five-or 10- year program of co - operative integration —..°

Mr. Brennan said union would be “‘logical, practical, and eco- nomically sound,”’ but it could not be accomplished overnight.

B. W. Isner of Moncton, a vice-president of the Maritime provinces board, asked whether the large number of co-operat- ing groups in the region was not evidence. that political un- ion would be efficient. ; Mr. Henson said that going the whole way, or stopping short with economic integration agencies, remained the ques- tion

Alberta Senator First To Resign

OTTAWA ‘CP) — Senator J. M. Stambaugh (L Alberta) handed in his resignation from the Senate Monday, the first senator to retire under new leg- islation adopted by Parliament for retirement at age 75.

He sent a formal letter to Governor-General Vanier noting passage of the legislation and seeking the annuity provided in it—$8,000 a year. Senators now draw $12,000 a year indemnity and $3,000 a year for expenses.

Senator Stambaugh, 76, said he had long advocated retire- ment of senators at age 75.

He was appointed to the Sen- ate in 1949. ‘

3 Services Are Grouped Under Six NewCommand

By STEWART MacLEOD

OTTAWA ‘CP)—In the sec- ond major step toward inte- grated armed services, Defence Minister Hell yer announced Monday that the three services are being grouped under six commands. There now are Il commands among the navy, army and air force.

The integration program is running four months ahead of schedule, Mr. Hellyer said as he announced the new command structure, which will bring the three services under more tightly-knit, unified administra- tions

The four commands in the army Eastern, Quebec, Cen- tral and Western—are to dis-

apoear. All,the units will come under ‘“‘mobite command.” This command will also include RCAF tactical and light trans-

por. planes and heavy helicop- ters There will be no more re-

gional army headquarters, ex- cept for the militia.

MAY BE IN QUEBEC

No headquarters has yet been selected for the huge new mo- bile command. Asked at a press conference whether it would be in Quebec. Mr. Hellyer said “that’s a possibility.”

Headquarters for the new trt- service training command. will be in Winnipég. The “faritime command, including the navy's two commands on the east and west coasts and Maritime command, will be in Halifax. A deputy commander will be based on the west coast.

The RCAF now has its own ma- teriel command there.

The RCAF Air Transport Command and the RCAF Air Defence Command remain un- changed.

Mr. Hellyer said the integra- tion program will result in the elimination of many duplicated operations in the three services.

BRIEF CHIEFS

AH major command — chiefs were called to Ottawa Monday to be briefed on the new struc- ture. The minister said their re- action was “very good.” Many

program.

The new mobile command will be the most difficult to bring into operation. Mr. Hell- yer said it likely will be a vear before the process is completed. Chiefs of the new commands are expected to be named shortly. :

UNITED BY 1967

He also said he hopes the services will be completely uni- fied by 1967. This would include a new rank structure for the three services and a_ similar “walking - out’ uniform. But this would be approached with caution since it was important to maintain traditions and color.

Under the new command structure. it will mean that the training command will be re- sponsible for all personnel se- lection and basic and advanced training. The men will go to the other commands for appropri- ate operational training

By JOHN BARBOUR

HOUSTON ‘AP)—Hot, hun- gry and happy, U.S. Gemini as- tronauts James McDivitt and Edward White plum ed home ‘from space Monday to a red- carpet welcome and presiden- tial congratulations—safe after a four-day orbital marathon and a 20-minute walk in space.

Before they were on earth four hours, they had an invita- tion from President Johnson ‘to visit him at the Johnson Ranch im Texas Friday or Saturday Could they accept?

As the physical examinations continued on the ship, Dr. How- ard Minners said after two hours of tests that he had en- countered ‘‘no problems.”

CONTINUE JOKES , ‘While the doctors examined them, McDivitt and White drank ~: water and_ grapefruit juice. Then at one point, light-haired Ed White yelled to dark-haired McDivitt: “Hey Jim, if this is a beard- growing contest, you win.” New York City sent the astro-- nauts an inviitation to ride ip the traditional hero's ticker- tape parade in Manhattan. McDivitt had the _ heavier beard. His hair is darker than White’s. Their faces were drawn and they looked tired, but both were smiling. Still in their white spacesuits, they per- spired in the hot sun.

BOTH EXCITED

Asked how he liked his 2- minute ‘“‘stroll'’ in space, White said:

“It's enough'to make a per son speechless.”

McDivitt, lying on the physt cian’s examining table while he was being X-rayed, suddenly— and for no explainable reason let out a loud warwhoop: “Ya-

A U.S. space agency spokes man on board said They're still re-living the flight. They're too full of flight to ask for any- thing.”

White said that during his Thursday “‘swim™ in space as a human satellite—the second in

history—he had mounted a cam- era outside the spacecraft and it likely recorded. much of the space visit. Films were also available of the first human satellite. Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

Earlier, Rear Admiral Wil- liam W. McCormick who wel- comed the space pilots and in- vited them to dinner said:

“They said very little except that they were very damned glad to be aboard. They're re- markable young men and it’s a marvellous historical achieve- ment, a fine professional per- formance.”
