A slored reproduction of the proposed flag was distributed to Starr Sees | No Holiday Parliamentary Press Gallery was approved by cabinet. Prime Minister Pearson and several cabinet ministers were known to have favored the de- sign and its selection had been predicted.

MOTHER-TO-BE, For Right Type By GORDON MITCHELL (Times Staff) Rare blood from two women donors in a remote Nova Scotia fishing hamlet will be given Saturday to help in the birth of an Oshawa baby. The: blood will be used at the Oshawa General Hospital Mon- day when Mrs, Evelyn Curtis of 123 Wilson road north will give birth to her second child. Mrs. Curtis, 28, has. an extreme- ly fare blood type which has developed anti-bodies to kill the new blood of her unborn child. e ec beaaudines (habens Care She said that there was family connection with the people in her blood group.

He sug-| gested that four flags should be) submitted for a vote -- the Red| Ensign; the Red Ensign alter-| ed in a way to make it accept-| able to Quebec; the Pearson flag and a flag'featuring a single maple leaf. "This is too important an} issue to be hurried through) and I am sure almost every member of parliament will want to speak on it. This should not be considered a filibuster and if it means that Parlia- ment won't have a summer re- cess, that is all right, too," Mr.) Starr said. He pointed out that the selec- tion of a flag was different than passing a piece of legislation. Choice of a flag would mean it would remain that way, prob-| ably for all time, whereas a/ piece. of legislation could be} amended a year later. | He indicated that he person-| ally favored a more distinctive) Canadian flag than the ensign' but said he was not in a posi- tion to suggest how the ensign might be altered or what a maple leaf flag design should be. Pearson Pays Nehru Tribute OTTAWA (OP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson said today the loss of Prime Minister Nehru of In- dia will be felt by ail who hope for peaceful progress in the world and for good relations among men. " He said in a statement: "I had the great privilege of ' enjoying Mr. Nehru's friendship over many years. I learned to appreciate his deep and far- sighted wisdom, his strength and moderation, his devotion to "That the government be a q\ thorized to take such steps may be necessary to provide!

Since the decision was made, the 25 cabinet ministers and the half-dozen others who knew the choice have been sworn to secrecy, and despite daily prod- ding in the Commons there was no official indication of what design would be proposed.
