Commons officials say that even before Parliament prorog- ued late Wednesday night they started to receive draft bills and resolutions from back - bench MPs to go on the Commons agenda fc: next session. Whe _arliament took its re cess, 55 private members' bills died on the Commons order pa- per, including ike controversial measure introduced by Frank McGee (PC -- York - Scarbor- ough) to abolish hanging for murder, It was withdrawn just before the session ended. Of the other 54, 49 never even reached the stage of debate. WILL TRY AGAIN Mr, McGee said he would wait a few days before resubmitting his bill for next session.

If they want to spend publie 'money, all they can do is introduce a resolution asking the House to record its opinion that the government should "give consideration to" the pro- ject. No private members' resolu- tions were passed in the 1960 session. Twenty of the leftover legisla- tive proposals were sponsored by members of the eight-man dence. , The 49 bills which were intro- duced during the past session, but got no further, ranged in subject matter from capital and corporal punishment banks to river pollution. Two government bills were purposely allowed to die on the order paper.

The Belgi in- terests were then selling radium for $75,000 a gram--1-300th of a pound. The vast quantities of ra- dium at Port Radium soon forced the world price down to $25,000 a gram. For years the company was in- terested only in radium. Uranium ore, considered a by-product, was sold for $1.35 a pound, mostly to European outlets, for coloring pottery. The operation shut down in 1940 and was not reopened again until 1942 when the atom was sue- cessfully split and the Manhattan Project, Operation A - Bomb, initiated. Uranium ore mined at Port Radium was shipped to the Eldo- rado refinery at Port Hope, Ont., and from there to the ultra-secret bomb project in the United States.
