7 2 Tuesday. December 7, 1 976 Ottawa Journal Civic election '76 Qreenberg will be needing diplomat's touch Analysis tween the two women at future board meetings, however. They just don't get along. Aid. Nicol feels Cont.

Dewar is a major leftist force at City Hall and launched such attacks during the campaign. Mrs. Nicol, with an obvious hot temperament, is also capable of igniting Cont. Dewar to fits of anger. The election of Dr.

Sutherland, gives Mayor Greenberg a further reason to wield a more authoritative stick to ensure order prevails and chaos is curtailed, and any possible diversion from city issues is nipped in the bud. Mb. Sutherland suggested Monday that he won't back down from any fight with Cont. Nicol. "If she needs educating, I'll do it," he said.

"If her intentions are bad, we'll have a hell of a fight." And there is no one on the new board to replace outgoing Cont. Bill Law. He frequently applied his talent to slow down the emotional pace of board meetings that threatened to go aground. Mayor Greenberg may allow an initial coollng-off period to give the board time to sort out the predictable personality clash. But the betting is heavy that the mayor won't allow anyone to make a mockery of city politices even if it takes a few backroom screaming sessions to order one or more controllers to think city first and politics, rightist or leftist last.

The mayor has too much at stake to do otherwise. Expected to retire in 1978, he wants to vacate with a successful record of accomplishment. Ks wants to improve relations with the federal government and somehow resolve the pressing decentralization Issue. He wants to ensure the implementation of some or all of the neighborhood community plans approved this year. The mayor is adamant on ensuring improved relations between the city hall bureaucracy and citizens.

And, with the exception of obtaining more amicable relations with the federal government and a full head of hair, the mayor usually gets what he wants once he knows that he wants, And he wants city-oriented municipal politicains not Progressive Conservatives, Liberals or New Democrats City Hall observers expect Mayor Greenberg to exert more administrative clout with the new board to ensure that city issues aren't clouded or undermined by political tirades or personality flare-ups between Dewar and Nicol. Mrs. Nicol, a liberal, seems destined to wave high the anti-socialist banner dropped in frustration by outgoing Cont. Garry Guzzo. She threatens to become too virulent in dissent if she Imagines leftists Dewar and Sutherland to be ganging up on her.

Mrs. Nicol could therefore be the political gadfly capable of disrupting the mayor's grand design over the next two years if he fails to calm her down. But observers suspect that the mayor, buoyed by his whopping majority, will likely shift his political philosophy a shade to the right to appease Mrs. Nicol and hopefully defuse a temper that lurks close to the sur- ACG Both political and personal spats appear likely be Continued from Page 1 Two Catholic priests. Father Dale Crampton and Father Ken Keeler finished one-two in the OSSB race.

Ottawa voters may have wrapped up Mayor Green-berg's early Christmas present with thorns. They handed him a potential problem that may merit diplomat's touch to defuse. The mayor wants the new board and council to stick to its mandate to serve the city and its people and not their own political beliefs. But this may be easier said than done. The voters elected a more left-wing board and two controllers (Dewar and NIcol) who are brewing a bitter personality clash, plus a leftist-oriented council.

The mayor said Monday that talk of a left-right rift on city council was nonsense," but many observers believe he is dismissing the topic too ly. The leftist-rightist rift on council erupted many times into fiery debate during the last two yean. It did little to adversely affect the city's administration or stall implementation of important issues, but it wasted time and threatened to draw public attention away from significant city business. Surgery likely Olive's back Ideology bond Reformers ill hospital in Further complications in Olive Diefenbaker's heart condition have forced the wife of the former prime minister to return to hospital after five days at home. The press officer for Mrs.

Diefenbaker," Keith Mar-tyi, said the 73-year-old Mrs. Diefenbaker faces a "strong possibility" of heart surgery and tests are underway. He said Mrs. Diefenbaker suffered complications when she went home last week but is listed as "stable" after entering Civic Hospital Sunday. Mrs.

Diefenbaker was admitted to the Civic two months ago so her heart condition could be checked. Mr. Martin said observation of her condition was made more difficult when she fell in her hospital room and broke four ribs during the first month of her stay.

Ralph Sutherland, who was her campaign manager, prior to entering the race himself. This is not to suggest that Mrs. Catterall will not exercise a significant amount of independent judgment, but any new alderman is generally influenced by certain veterans and it would be hard to imagine anyone other than Controllers Dewar and Sutherland providing the leadership in this 1 case. The return of former alderman Roily Wall has to be the shock of the election. candidly admit I felt the -game had passed Roily by and his chances of winning the seat he held for 24 years were, to say the least, next to nil.

I'm certain Roily will find himself more at home with his former colleague Don Reid and Aldermen Joe Quinn and Don Kay. If there's going to be polarization in the 1977-78. council similar to the one that existed in the last council, then it's obvious that the reform element will -have little or no trouble in controlling the decisions in this new situation. That is not to suggest that there will not be maverick members of the reform group who will refuse to toe the line, particularly when it comes to voting for such positions as the aldermanic seats on regional execu- tive. Nevertheless, on major social issues it is difficult to believe there would be any variance from the Ideological bond that seems to embrace 10 memoes the new council.

The question of appointments to the regional executive committee is somewhat dicey. These positions carry with them an additional $5,600 salary, which is obviously quite an attraction to people who, on civvy street, are unable to command the basic $18,000 per annum aldermanic pay. I have felt for some time that the returning membes of this group have decided that Alderman Brian Bourns, a clever and articulate representative from Wellington Ward, and Alderman Trip Kennedy of Queensboro Ward, have already been nominated by the group to sit on the regional executive. Certain new members elected last night may not accept sucha decision having been made before the election. Some major debates will come early in the first year of this council.

The budget debate will probably be the most interesting in that certain of the rightwing members have been successful over the past number of years in securing for their particular areas many coveted facilities which are still on the drawing boards. I look for a bitter battle over the proposed development of the next Indoor arena, now scheduled for Elmvale-Victoria Ward. And I have severe doubts on whether Gloucester Ward will now see the purchase of the Zamboni ice-making machine for Walkley Arena. There are many who feel the next two years at Green Island will be reminiscent of the most explosive years of Dr. Charlotte Whitton.

Many will predict downright, knuckle-down, drag-em-out battles between Deputy Mayor Dewar and Controller Patricia Nicol and strong disagreement between the opposite sides in the aldermanic section. I don't think these confrontations will be as numerous and explosive as do others. Both Mrs. Dewar and Mrs. Nicol are very clever politicians and neither will be eager to jeopardize political future by such gestures.

In truth, it must be said neither Is basically inclined to behave in any other than a ladylike and professional fashion until such time, that Is, when they find themselves face-to-face across the political table on a voting issue. And even then, each has demonstrated a strong desire to control the situation. On the other side, the political wings of the aldermanic section will soon realize that there will be very few splits in the voting blocs and that the confrontation expected of them will be politically unadvisable. I think the next two years at Green Island will be very interesting, particularly for senior City Hall staff who must be having some serious second thoughts on the decision recorded by the public Monday night. Mayor Greenberg must also be worrying as he contemplates leading this council through troubled waters ahead.

I wish him well in what will most likely be a very, very difficult 24 months. Etoblcoke x-Dennis Flynn North York x-Mel Lastman Scarborough x-Paul Cosgrove With a few notable exceptions, it was a good day for incumbent mayors in Ontario cities Monday. One of the mayors In the Leo Del Villano, chief magistrate in Timmins for 18 years, tasted defeat at the hands of Mike Doody, a local television sports announcer. Just before the election, a local of the Canadian Union of Public Employees urged its more than 200 members to vote against the council and Mayor Del Villano. More than 160 public works emloyees and 37 transit workers have been on strike for several days.

Mr. Doody, a council member for six years, campaigned on the basis that it was time for a change and that Mayor Del Villano had lost touch with the people. Incumbents were also defeated in Kitchener, where Morley Rosenberg ousted Edith Macintosh; in Burlington, where Mary Munro beat George Harrington and in Barrie, 'where Ross Archer was elected and incumbent Dorian Parker finished third. In Mississauga, Ronald Searle knocked off Martin Dobkin after a bitter campaign. Dr.

Dobkln and his council had been embroiled in turmoil for the last three years, including a Dr. Dobkin-initiated judicial inquiry into alleged municipal corruption, which was eventually declared illegal and halted. Dr. Dobkln's opponents said the mayor had initiated the inquiry for political gain. Metropolitan Toronto seemed indicative of the province-wide picture as David Crombie was returned in the city for a third term with more than 80 per cent of the vote.

Jack MacDohald was elected mayor in Hamilton, defeating Vince Agro for the office vacated by Vic Copps, who suffered a severe stroke earlier this year while running in a marathon. In Windsor, incumbent Albert Weeks had a two-to-ohe margin over Huntley Farrow in what had been expected to be a tight race.
