Members of Parliament today are reviewihg their offensive and defensive positions for the parliamentary fencing that is bound to precede any flag-rais-|/ ing ceremonies. fi The design of three red maple leaves on a white background with a vertical blue bar at each side surprised no one when it was revealed Wednesday. Such a design had 'been freely. pre- dicted since the cabinet decision a week ago. But the form of the resolu- tion, with its unexpected twist, has caused many MPs to won- der aloud about their voting po- sitions. While it clearly established that the new maple leaf design would become the official flag of Canada, the resolution also provides that. the Union Jack "may continue to be. flown as a symbol of Canadian member- ship in the Commonwealth of Nations and of our allegiance to the Crown."

'To German Visit Objects Wednesday. The idea has been kicked around for seven years, since the late president Theodor Huss visited Britain, and some people feel there already has been too much chewing-over of the subject. It will be the first state visit by a British monarch since the foundation of modern Germany nearly 100 years ago but there were many private visits when Germany was a monarchy. Whatever heartburning there may be in Britain about the forthcoming visit, the Germans Tension Grips Michigan City After Strike HILLSDALE, Mich. (AP)-- 'Tension gripped this little southern Michigan city today following a night of strike vio- lence and demonstrations at a jail holding arrested pickets. Sixty state policemen and sheriff's deputies of neighborin counties came to the aid o Hillsdale's seven - man police force in the emergency. Hills- dale is about 95 miles southwest of Detroit. A crowd of 300 persons had massed at the Hillsdale County jail. Some demonstrators threw rocks, breaking jail windows. Before midnight the crowd had dispersed. However, police kept an overnight watch. The trouble began about 7 p.m. with the match of demon- Strators to the jail from the strike scene at Essex Wire Cor- poration. The crowd was angered by the arrest of three persons, one of them a striker's wife. The demonstrators stoned the jail in protest and police began wav- ing their nightsticks to restore order.
