TWENTY-TWO PAGES, 'Declaration | OnTh e Jews | Is Approved VATICAN CITY (CP) -- The 'Vatican ecumenical council to- day approved a historic decla- ration on the Jews and 'other non-Christians after Pope Paul Yejected a move led by Cana- dian and U.S. bishops for an immediate vote on the coun- cil's controversial religious lib- erty declaration. The council document on non - Christians, which says the Jews must never be con- sidered cursed or specially blamed for the crucifixion of Christ was approved with 1,651 tes in favor, 242 in favor with reservations and 99 op- posed. The declaration also makes overtures to the Hindus, Budd- hists and Moslems and restates the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to discrimination or harassment on account of race, color or creed, The declaration one of the most controversial before the council, is not expected to be promulgated as a decree until the next council session. During the recess that be- gins after Saturday's closing, it will be revised to take into ac- count some of the reservations expressed by prelates today. But the favorable vote nieans no major changes of substance can be made, and that it is only a question of time--barring un- foreseen developments -- be- fore the declaration becomes a formal council decree.

Dane Says Surcharge Cut Agreed GENEVA (CP)--Danish For- eign Minister Per Haekkerup said today the British govern- ment has agreed to start dis- mantling its 15 per cent import surcharge 'within a matter of months." Haekkerup gave no indication whether a definite timetable for the dismantling process has been set. He spoke briefly with reporters as the European Free Trade Association ministerial council met to ratify an agree- ment hammered out in an ail- night session in a Geneva hotel room. et namo said Os ally they had bitterly denounced as a violation of the EFTA treaty. ister Favreau said today a man sentenced to 14 years imprison- ment for his part in the 1962 riots at St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary near Montreal has been transferred to the King- ston penitentiary. Mr, Favreau said the pris- oner, Gaston Nicolet, had re- quested the transfer. Mr. Favreau told Alvin Ham- ilton (PC--Qu'Appelle) the 14- year sentence was handed out because Nicolet was one of the "ringleaders" of the riots which caused extensive damage to the penitentiary. His appeal was re- jected. The marathon session was at- tended by the foreign and trade ministers of the EFTA nations, including British Foreign Sec- retary Patrick Gordon Walker and Douglas Jay, president of the British Board of Trade. Bowing to EFTA pressure, they accepted the creation of a watchdog committee which will be authorized to keep a close eye on the British econ- omy, informed sources said. The committee will have a say in determining when the Brit- ish economy is in a sufficiently healthy state for the surcharge to be reduced or eliminated. REV. R. D. HORSBURGH Appeal Reasons Filed In TORONTO (CP) -- Fourteen reasons why Rev. Russell. D. Horsburgh of Chatham should be granted leave to appeal his conviction for contributing to juvenile delinquency were given Thursday in a motion filed be- fore Mr. Justice E. G. Moor- house of the Ontario Court of Appeals. At the request of C. L, Dubin, acting for the former minister of Chatham's Park Street United Church. Mr. Justice Moorhouse adjourned the hear- ing until Tuesday. Mr. Dubin said "further ma- terial' would then be available for the court's consideration. However, under the Juvenile Delinquent's Act, the request for leave to appeal must be filed within 10 days of convic- tion. That was Thursday. Mr. Horsburgh was sentenced Monday to a year in jail on each of five convictions of con- tributing to juvenile delin- quency. The sentences are to run concurrently, He was ac- quitted on three others. The changes, heard in juve- nile court at Chatham by Judge W. H. Fox, involved the en- couragement of sexual fnter- course among teen-agers at the church. Court Among the 14 grounds listed: The decision of the judge was against the weight of evidence and the law; the charges were void for duplicity and uncer- tainty and failure to identify acts clearly so that a full and adequate defence could be pre- pared; the judge erred in decid- ing the Crown had complied jwith an order from Mr. Justice |E. L. Haines to supply the de- fence with full particulars; the judge erred in allowing children of tender years to be sworn; he misdirected himself in his test jof their credibility, Other grounds were that Judge Fox erred in allowing the Crown to amend its informa- tions at the end of its case, had erred in trying Mr. Horsburgh on all eight counts together and had failed to consider the un- controverted evidence which weighed heavily in favor of the accused. The application said Judge Fox's finding on the issue of credibility of witnesses was in- consistent and the evidence on which the minister was con- victed '"'was demonstrably inca- pable of belief and no judge properly directing himself as to law could accept such eyi- dence." all approval 2,054 to 64 to a PERCHED on his tractor, Mayor Lyman Gifford took time off from his work to talk about his next two years in office, and his farm.
