Light Home Announces eneral Election For Mid-October LONDON (Reuters) -- The British general election will take place Thursday, Oct. 15, it was announced today. The announcement was made shortly after Prime Minister Sir Alee Douglas - Home flew back to London from Scotland where he had an audience with Queen Elizabeth and asked her to dissolve the present Parlia- ment. The Conservative prime min- ister, who made the announce- ment, picked the date observers here had been forecasting for several months. The present Parliament--first in peacetime to run its full life since a five-year limit was im- posed in 1911--will be dissolved by the Queen Sept. 25 in prep- aration for the election. The long-waited official an- nouncement came amid wide exectation of a close verdict with possibly only a small ma- jority for either the ruling Con-|pand," he said: "We have done|duction increases at a servatives or the opposition|ijt and have been more gener.jfaster than the halting, limp- jous to industrialists than any;ing progress of the past 13 Labor party.

BOLTON VATICAN CITY (AP)--Given strong impetus by Pope Paul VI, the 2,500 Roman Catholic bishops of the Vatican ecumeni- cal council start work today on a schema 'to define sharing of some papal powers "with the bishops.

The schema, or topic, before the council at its working ses- sion today was titled "de eccle- sia" -- on the nature of the church. It has been consider- ably changed from the version that the council debated, |through its first four chapters, at its second session last fall. Chapter 5 is on eschatology --the theology. of. death, judg- ment, heaven and hell -- and Chapter 6 on the place of the Virgin Mary in the church. The all Canadians 18 years and over be permitted to vote in it. Mr. Diefenbaker said that committee, told his Sunday De ecclesia goes into collegi- ality as a broad principle, al- most a doctrinal basis, for fur- ther action in implementing new powers of the bishops. The 1869 - 70 Vatican council had planned to make definitions on both papal primacy and epis- pal power as corollary themes. It ended before ac- complishing this because 'the Italian nationalists seized the last papal states in Italy be- fore the episcopal document was discussed. : The collegial concept is based on the idea that Christ founded the church on St. Peter with the other apostles,not on St. Peter alone, Pope Paul said Monday, in a speech setting the tone of third council session, that centraliza- tion of power in the papacy should be 'always tempered and balanced by an alert and timely delegation both of au- thority and of facilities for local pastors (bishops)"'. He said the work of the 1870 Vatican coun- cil "must be completed' and agreement could be reached without the necessity of setting a strike deadline. On the matter of --s conditions, Chrysler already has agreed to increase to 36 minutes the present 24 minutes a day in relief time for pro- duction workers tied down to their machines, In the economic package, the Chrysler agreement calls for - pensions of yp to $400 a month as early retirement incentive, longer vacations, two additional holidays and other benefits. General Motors, the last of the auto industry's Big Three, will receive the full attention of the UAW after Ford negotia- tions are completed. All three companies -- Ford, GM and Chrysler -- came up with virtually identical eco- nomic offers last month esti- mated to be. worth about 39 cents an hour more for each worker over the next three years. Reuther says the union won another 15 cents from Chrysler, bringing the total gain to 54 cents. Liberals Leave Door Ajar To Templeton TORONTO.
