The Chest CLIMB $236,000 By FARMER TISSINGTON OTTAWA (Special) The lowly. back-benchers of Can- ada's 25th parliament are be- ginning to display their mus- cles. Among Conservative and Liberal members there is a growing determination to re- duce the political snadow-box- ing of the present session and get on with the business of running the country. While this movement has not yet reached the strength of a back-bench revolt against party leaderships, it is known that a number of MPs have held in- formal discussions within. their own ranks and with their oppo- site numbers in the other party. The A $200,000 $175,000 $1 50,000 $125,000 $100,000 $75,000 $50,000 $25,000 ------_ move started among newly elected Liberal MPs who have privately expressed disappointment with par.iamen and with some of the top brass Start ' s More Efficient Rule Sought because of the political infight- ing that has taken place, to the detriment of getting legislation passed.

Canada jand the government should pro- test Russian "violation of Ca- nadian territory." The premier's views were contained in a telegram' to Prime Minister Diefenbaker re- questing government action on a Russian fishing fleet which has been operating this week in the Bay of Fundy. Text of the telegram, sent to the prime minister Wednesday, was made public today by Mr, Robichaud. The premier said the Bay of Fundy--about 40 miles. wide and 100 miles long--is an in- 'tegral part of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. He said this was established in documents creating the territories in the 17th century. The premier quoted a state- ment by an unidentified fisher- ies department spokesman who said.that as long as the Rus- sian ships stayed outside the three-mile territorial limit, they were not subject to Canadian restrictions, The premier said this view was inconsistent with . federal policy of considering the whole of the Gulf of St. Lawrence as Canadian waters. Prime Minister Diefenbaker said in the Commons Wednés- day federal authorities are try- ing to determine whether the three-mile limit applies in this case. After that was settled, a determination would be made two year term, will appear in Friday's Times. on possible government action.
