The anticipation here is the raids would be made by South Vietnamese Air Force planes, possibly with U.S. pilots aboard to accompany South Vietnam- ese crews, rather than U.S. Air Force planes.

Bottomley will join Prime Minister Harold Wilson at the Dec. 9 Ottawa talks with Prime Minister Pearson. Bottomley said he is not among those who believe the Commonwealth is dying, but it needs more machinery to make it grow. The Labor government sup- ports the idea, adopted at the prime ministers' conference last July, of developing a central Commonwealth secretariat and wants to add the idea of a con- sultative assembly where lead- ers could meet from time to time. These forums, said Bottom- ley, could explore the "identity of interests" linking Common- wealth members and help avoid clashes that damage relations between the newly developing members and the more indus- trial countries. i raids already has been made. Such raids are not likely to in- volve actual communities in North Viet Nam or the south- ern tongue of Laos, but would be against jungle supply depots in the mountains and valleys. Statements from Washing- ton have not clearly indicated raids are definitely planned. But the implication of plans for "urgent consultations" between U.S. Ambassador Maxwell D Taylor and South Vietnamese Premier Tran Van Huong if the U.S. is ready to back raids. Certainly Washington st a t e- ments are seen. by Saigon offi- cials as meaning just this. The South Viet Nam official news agency Thursday night lauded reported American plans for increased military support. Taylor is due back here this weekend after his consultations with President Johnson and top Washington officials. The feel- ing is he may be armed with authority to unleash South Viet Nam's increasingly powerful air force on targets outside South Viet Nam. The South Vietnamese Air Force is equipped with several hundred propeller-driven A-1E fighter bombers easily capable of carrying large bomb and rocket loads to targets almost anywhere in the Indochina area. The pool of U.S.-trained South Vietnamese fighter pilots By ARTHUR L. GAVSHON LONDON (AP) -- Halfway through his promised '100 days 'of dynamic action,' Prime Min- ister Wilson is learning that it is easier to oppose than to govern. But he appears confi- dent his Labor government can get Britain moving ahead again. Wilson's first 50 days in of- five are essentially the story of his fignt to save the pound sterling. It pegan with an emergency meeting of top ministers Oct. 17, one day after Wilson was named prime minister. They rejected devaluation of the pound as a way of solving the nation's developing economic crisis. The climax came Nov. 25 with a Bank of England an- nouncement that 11 friendly countries led by the United States had established a $3,000,- 000,000 credit to support the pound against further interna- tional speculation. The rescue act succeeded in its first aim of plugging the cascade of nearly $400,000,000 of reserves that the Bank of England had to spend in one week to prop the pound up in foreign money markets. Britain's reserves, under $3,- 000,000,000 today, are not much eign trading loss. IMPOSES SURCHARGE To curb spending abroad, the Labor government slapped a 15-per-cent surcharge on mast imports. It announced raises in taxes and gasoline prices, while voting some new social welfare benefits. Measures the Wilson govern- ment was compelled to take, such as raising the Bank of England rate to a seven-per- cent peak, and borrowing abroad, were in conflict with Labor philosophy. side South Viet Nam.

For all the zig-zagging forced on him by events, Wilson thus far has been careful in trying to win the confidence of the Johnson administration so that a new and sounder basis of co- operation can be built between the U.S, and Britain. First impressions suggest he has not failed in this. Hanging May Be Successful By DOUG MARSHALL LONDON (CP)--A private member's bill to abolish hang- ing in Britain was to be pre- sented in Parliament today and the government has promised to find time -to debate it before Christmas, The bill is sponsored by 69- year-old Sidney Silverman, La- bor member of Parliament and confirmed opponent of the death penalty. It seems certain of suc- cess. A majority of the House of ommons now is known to be in favor of scrapping the 1957 Homicide Act--a compromise measure that retained the death penalty for murders committed with guns, by explosions, in the course of theft or for murdering policemen or prison officers.

AMBASSADOR TO RETIRE OTTAWA (CP) -- Raymond Bousquet, France's ambassador to Canada since 1962, is to re- tire early in 1965 after a dis- tinguished 40-year career in the French foreign service. Mr. Bousquet, 65, and his wife plan to return to Paris when his re- tirement becomes . effective, possibly in January. His suc- cessor here has not yet been announced. took his first steps Thursday in| majority of more than 100 is expected, Conservative and La- bor MPs with reservations are likely to abstain. The reason for the swing against hanging is partly be- cause of the steady pressure abolitionists. have maintained during the last seven years and partly because the 1957 act, with its arbitrary distinctions, has offended consciences and proved unworkable. BISHOPS SWITCH Silverman also.can count on increasing support in the House of Lords. Not only have most of the bishops of the Church of England changed sides since 1957, there is also a strong cur- rent against hanging running through the law benches. "I tegard hanging as an ob- scene futility," said Silverman, who has been introducing abol- itionist bills since 1948.
