Was replying to commis Sion counsel Alan Sweatman had previously said that do 9 overhaul arrangements ranked As one of the Central prob lems considered by the commission. Or. Sweatman was trying to establish what alternative Active. Cities might occupy the base after air Canada stops Over hauling discounts around 1973. Although or. Mcgregor totally rejected Jet repair work at the existing base he agreed that a new Winnipeg overhaul facility could be built at an operating Cost of around million a year. He firmly left the impression however that the base will close As soon As discounts Are phased out of service. He also suggested the airline and Winnipeg representatives o u 1 d form a committee to stimulate alternative activity to replace Viscount work. The Blunt spoken president showed slight signs of irritation As he wound up Ivy Days of testimony. At one Point he referred to the present situation As this whole fuss and bother about the Winnipeg i Don t think the problem should be exaggerated to the Point of he said. We recently pulled a Pilot and line maintenance base out of Monc ton and comparative loss was far greater than is the Case or. Sweatman wanted to know whether the airline Felt it had an obligation to help fill the void left by the loss of the overhaul base. Or. Mcgregor replied that his company would do every thing possible to create alternative work but we Don t feel we have an obligation to spend Money the air Canada president also said he believes Winnipeg is big enough and experienced enough to Cope with the City Man convicted of rape a 25-year-old construction worker who drugged a 14-year-old girl with Ether and attacked her in his car last August was convicted of rape Friday by an Assize court jury.

Justice Israel Nitikman that Neiser stopped his car As she was walk ing near her Home and asked the Way to Transcona. When he got out of the car she became scared and started to run. He chased her threw her to the ground and pushed a rag soaked in an Ether smelling sub stance to her face. Sample Spray cans of Winter starting fluid for heavy equip ment which is on an Ether base were shown at the trial As exhibits. Neiser drove equipment on the greater Winnipeg flood Way project. After forcing her into the car s front seat the girl said Neiser drove some distance along paved and country gravel roads. At one Point she managed to get out when the car slowed but he caught and forced her in holding her while he sprayed More of the fluid directly into her face from the can. After some further driving he attacked her on the front seat. He drove her to where he had picked her up and let her out. She took his number As he drove off. Neiser was arrested at his Home not Long afterwards. Or. Justice Nitikman will sen tence Neiser feb. 19 after a pre sentence prepared. Report has been situation without producing bread he said that Al though he s not a political scientist he fails to see How the base s loss will increase Winnipeg s economic isolation. Discussing the airline s future he said the existing buildings Are suitable for either Light Industry or for an Independent overhaul operation run by an other company. Or. Sweatman suggested that not Many buyers Are panting at the door to take Over the base. I agree there is no evidence of people Rushing to buy it As or. Mcgregor said. The problem is that we can t say when the premises will he available. We would be laughed at if we went around offering buildings and telling people we Don t know when they can have or. Mcgregor said his conv fitment to Winnipeg employees is that Viscount overhaul work will continue Here until around 1973. He emphatically said he does t conceive that any overhaul work will be done Here on any present Jet aircraft or on any contemplated you Don t have flights Stop Ping in mid career for overhaul he said. We Don t envision any overhaul at an in route Point such As the airline president then suggested that a joint air Canada Winnipeg committee should be formed to see what can be done to create alternative activity at the base. He disclosed that air Canada has a Strong wish to obtain bilateral rights for a new Winnipeg Chicago route. But he said this would Only improve Winnipeg transportation ser vices it would t do anything to prolong the life of the overhaul base. Or. Sweatman suggested that the airline just can t walk away from Winnipeg leaving in. Its Wake a Trail of lost jobs and income. Or. Mcgregor agreed he would not be Happy about the airline s exit and he pledged to do everything possible to said or. Sweatman your heart May bleed but we d like you to leave a Little of your blood in this the air Canada president said he doubts whether the develop ment of regional air carries would provide enough work to keep the base running. He said regional airlines Are uneconomic operations which can Only be run with government subsidies. The principle of regional airline growth is be said. A u t it s also unit or. Mcgregor was the last in a series of air Canada witnesses who have told the commission about the com Pany s plans to move All overhaul work to Montreal. The commission which is investigating the proposed Transfer will hear the Manitoba government s counter proposals next week. Car does t Calgary mayor favors Monorail to Banff Calgary up mayor Grant Macewan favors a Mono rail Between Calgary and Banff but the Canadian Pacific rail Way takes a different View. Mayor Macewan said Friday a Monorail would Cut travelling time in half Between the City and the Rocky Mountain resort Centre and boost Calgary As a Winter sport and tourist area. But a car spokesman said the railway had studied the possibility a few years ago and decided against the idea for several reasons a new Monorail line would be counter to the car s Long Range policy of cutting passenger service. Existing rail line service could be easily improved to meet a demand created by staging of the 1973 olympic Winter games in the Banff area. Present rail traffic by ski ers to Banff does not warrant an improvement in service.
