He also told the opening ses- sion of the Liberal National Council meeting that MPs will make the flag decision because that is what they were elected to do.

PUT IN RESOLUTION "We are putting that in a res- olution before the House as we were pledged to do." The resolution was not put forward in part but as a whole. "Surely that's the honest way for the government to proceed." Mr. Pearson urged that the 300-odd delegates take no action that would give the impression the flag now is a partisan issue. "Tt should be above that, . . and I hope it will be discussed on the broadest parliamentary basis possible." Accidents Kill At Least 400 In US. Holiday CHICAGO (AP) Traffic deaths in the United States dur- ing the Memorial Day weekend --more than 400--hit a record high for a three-day observance of the holiday. Boating deaths totalled 16 while 40 were drowned, The death toll on the high- ways from 6 p.m. Thursday to midnight Sunday was 409. Be- lated reports were expected to raise the final figure. The record toll for the first) holiday weekend of the spring topped the previous high mark of 371 set during the Memorial Day period in 1958. The Na- tional Safety Council had made a pre-holiday estimate that be- tween 410 and 490 persons Each MP would vote in ac- cordance with his convictions and "I hope it will be decided on a parliamentary basis." The responsibility was the MPs' arid "I don't see how you could find a better cross section than that--to. have the decision made by the men and women who were elected to make de- cisions."' Mr. Pearson said no matter how basic and important the questions put forward by the government, they were twisted and distorted by the Opposition and Opposition Leader Diefen- baker. He had hoped, despite a minority Parliament, for a max- imum of co-operation. Leaf Flag 'Charms' N.Y.

(CP)--A reso- lution asking for an amend- ment to the Criminal Code of Canada to make-legal the dis- persal of birth control informa- tion and devices, was passed Sunday by the national Voice of Women after a 45-minute de- bate. ; Eleven of the approximately 150 delegates, including those from Quebec, abstained from the yote. There were no votes against the measure. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 Dr. R. H. Wright of the Brit- ish Columbia Research Council told delegates medical science and modern technology has done a great deal to reduce the death rates in the world and "they could do equal wonders for the birth rates if they were allowed to, and given the same push." Advance in this field has been held back because of opposition from the Roman Catholic church and an old fashioned sense of propriety, Dr. Wright said. He urged the VoW to speak out loudly and often until the federal government gives at least as much.attention to the world population explosion as it is giving to choice of a flag. SUGGESTS CAMPAIGN Dr. Wright also suggested! the VoW press for channelling of one per cent of the money now "spent by world govern- ments for defence for the build- ing and maintenance of United Nations universities around the world. He said one per cent of next year's world defence expendi: ture would be $1,200,000,000 and with this 24-UN universities could be built, equipped and started in five years. Dr. Wright suggested conver- sion of the United States naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba, into a United Nations university campus. He said Canada could con- sider playing a "trump" card 'to force the issue. "For a long time both the |United States and the Latin JAmerican nations have hoping Canada would join the Organization of American States, COULD BACK OAS "T think it would be quite in order for the Voice of Women to take up the idea of our join- ing, if, and only if the Guan- tanamo base was turned over to the UN." The organization urged Cana- dian United Nations delegates to vote for all measures "aimed at securing of human rights for all in South Africa." Another resolution passed called on VoW's members to 'concern themselves with civil rights of minorities in their own provinces, particularly in The virtual pullout of the pro- Communist Pathet Lao move- ment from a patched-up coali- tion with Laotian neutralists and rightists deepened the cri- sis atmosphere surrounding the |talks, Just about every key U.S.. of- ficial concerned with Southeast Asia was present for the two- day conference behind . closed doors at Pacific command head- quarters.

It was understood that U.S. of- ficials have been seriously con- sidering a varigty of 'possible pressure, ranging from demon- strations of strength outside Communist - ruled North Viet Nam to more direct military moves such as a guerrilla coun- ter-offensive.
