I I THE EDMONTON JOURNAL, Wednesday, March 15, 1967 Co-Ops May Sell Machinery FUA Asks Study Of Possibilities The Farmers' Union of Al-1 berta today asked for an investigation into the feasibility of retailing all farm machinery through co-operative agencies. In a brief submitted to the Royal Commission on Machinery, the FUA suggested this would "eliminate costly competition at the local and retail level." "Co operative retail agencies owned and controlled by the farmer" could be established as the "sole agency, through which machinery could be sold in the area," the brief says. The FUA also requested lic testing of farm machinery and components, at public expense. SEEK STANDARDIZATION Standardization of replacement parts, and adequate of parts were also asked in the brief. FUA vice-president Ken MeIntosh said in 1965 machinery purchases absorbed more than four times as much of the Alberta farmers' net income than in 1945.

On the average, more than 20 per cent of total farm investment is in machinery and equipment, he said, and more than 42 per cent of total operating costs is accounted for by machinery ownership and operation. SWIFT INCREASES The brief cited examples of parts-price increases as high as 94 per cent in one year, and requested "that pricing of repair parts be more rigidly controlled." The brief was presented by Mr. McIntosh since FUA president Paul Babey is representing Canadian farmers' unions at the annual convention of the National Farmers' Union in the United States this week. One of the main topics at the U.S. meeting is the proposed boycott of new machinery by farmers in the Canada.

The Barber royal commission concluded three of hearings in Edmonton today. Members will go to Calgary tomorrow for two days. Jaywalk Accused Pleads Not Guilty A district man pleaded not guilty to a charge of jaywalking this morning. John Gluchie, 24, of Wostock also pleaded not guilty of a charge of failing to give his name to a police officer. He appeared in magistrate's court and was remanded until Friday, when date will be set.

City police said a man was arrested Tuesday after a constable chased him for several blocks. They said the man tried to elude a patrol constable when he was summoned to the officer's car, after the jaywalking incident. The man then refused to give his name when the constable attempted to issue him a jaywalking tag. Provincial Conservatives Plan Weekend Gathering A three-day provincial servative policy and election workshop will be held in Banff this week end for Alberta candidates in the next election.

Court Blocks Powell's Pilgrimage Times-Post News Service NEW YORK The second highest court in New York State threw a major roadblock in the path of Adam Clayton Powell's planned Palm Sunday pilgrimage to Harlem.

The court refused Tuesday to dismiss his criminal contempt citation. The applellate division of the State Supreme Court, by a 4-to1 vote, decided not to overturn lower court rulings that subject Powell to arrest if he enters New York State. TOLD TO STAY Powell's lawyers were understood to be advising the flamboyant Democrat to remain on Bimini in the Bahamas Islands and postpone campaign plans to march 35 blocks through the heart of Harlem. But if Powell holds firm, the pilgrimage could turn into a confrontation. Criminal arrest orders, in the Powell case, are served by the sheriff in New York City.

Sheriff John J. McCloskey kept his strategy to himself. "Frankly, I just received a copy of the court decision and I'll see what it means to me, McCloskey said. "I don't think I'll say anything about it." SCRAM-LETS ANSWERS Abhor Octavo Permit CASHIER brunette. give her money.

FUNERAL DIRECTORS WASHINGTON (AP) A nu-: clear physicist's claim that antiballistic missiles threaten survival of North Hemisphere inhabitants was disputed today. Dr.

E. J. Sternglass contends that mid-air explosions of defensive weapons and incoming missiles would result in massive radioactive fallout. Another nuclear physicist, Dr. Ralph E.

Lapp, argues that the U.S. anti-ballistic missile defence system rules out deposit of lethal quantities of fallout from explosion of nuclear-tipped missiles at high altitudes. Lapp, who worked on the wartime A-bomb development, told a reporter he believes Sternglass' view is based on an incorrect assumption that the defensive explosions all would take place at comparatively low altitudes in the atmosphere.
