He is also survived by eight sisters, in the By JIM NEAVES PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. (CP)--Opposition Leader Dief- enbaker Thursday accused the Liberal party and its "propa- ganda machine" of being behind the movement to have him re- placed as leader of the Progres- sive Conservative party. "The interesting part is that the Liberal party has been able to secure the apparent support of some Conservatives," he told a home constituency gathering of about 350 persons. "The Liberal propaganda ma- me to take the public eye off their ill-handling of govern- ment," Mr. Diefenbaker said. It was his first expanded pub- lic cemment since a Caribbean holiday earlier this month on the widening split in Conserva- tive party ranks over his lead- ership and party policy. The anti - Diefenbaker faction has been spearheaded by the party's Quebec 'leader, Leon Balcer. - STILL OPPOS™ HIM Mr. Diefenbaker said the "same pecple who walked out chine is active and it's aimed at on'me in 1956 are still working PC Chief Flays Grits "Propaganda Machine' against me." But he mentioned no names, His address at the Young Progressive Conservative Asso- ciation dinner was applauded warmly several times. Before his speech he received a vote of confidence in his leadership. Mr. Diefenbaker objected to what he said were claims he had harmed Confederation. "Am I to blame for bringing in the flag 'issue' he asked. "Am I to blame that the Queen was brought to Canada and received the reception she did"? He said Prime Minister Pear- son is "dedicated to two nations or associated states -- that's what's happening." An indication of the 'Liberal trend toward dividing Canada, Mr. Diefenbaker added, was a recent resolution by young Lib- erals in Ontario that the Queen should be abolished. "Tf I'm to blame it's because we stood against these poli- cies." BLAMES COMMISSION The Conservative leader also said the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism | By THE CANADIAN PRESS It was a day for welfare leg- islation in three provincial leg- islatures of Canada Thursday. Ontario heard that it will par- ticipate in the Canada Pension 'Plan, Quebec got details of why it won't. And in British Colum- bia, there was news of a new medical care insurance pro- gram. The work of the provincial legislatures has begun in earn- est. Ontario's session started Wednesday, Quebec and B.C. Thursday. But it will be another month before all of the houses have begun sittings. The Quebec government an- nounced in the speech from the throne that legislation to estab- lish a portable and contributory pension plan to take effect by Jan. 1, 1966, will be given pri- ority. Welfare Legislation Was The Order Of The Day A government spokes- man stressed that the Quebec plan will dovetail with the fed- eral one, forming no obstacles to workers moving to and from the province. IS SURPRISE A surprise announcement was that a bill to limit the powers of Quebec's legislative council will be tabled in the assembly shortly. The legislative council in Que- bec is the only remaining upper house in the Canadian prov- inces. The legislature will be asked later in the session to pass a resolution approving the repa- triation of the Canadian consti- tution, but before this is done, the government feels it neces- sary to curtail the powers of the legislative council, which is opposition Union Nationale. In the British Columbia leg- islature, a highlight of the throne speech was the an- nouncement that the Social Credit government plans a vol- untary medical health insur- ance program aimed at low-in- come groups. The plan--to provide a volun- tary medical health care plan for those who are not on wel- fare but whose incomes are in- sufficient for them to afford the full cost of medical insurance-- will be operated through pri- vate insurance plans. A hint that the government may be planning new assaults on the banking field came with the forecast of an amendment to the Revenue Act in connec- tion with the investment by the government in the shares of dominated by members of the chartered banks. Priest Saves Man's Life NEW YOR K(AP)--A Roman Catholic priest talked a man out of leaping from the Manhattan |\Bridge Thursday as the would- be jumper perched precariously on cables 150 feet above the roadway.

He said his refusal to estab- lish the commission in 1962 and 1963 cost him votes, but his judgment had been vindicated that 'we would have a great division in this country if it was set up." "Tf I had set out to destroy Canada, I couldn't have chosen a better way. Now Mr. Pearson says it's the fault of the opposi- tion leader." Mr. Diefenbaker recalled that an American magazine a year ago described Canada's govern- ment as a rudderless mess. "It's still rudderless, but th mess is a lot worse," hi charged. He said that a national con- ference would be initiated by a future Conseryative government to bring the provinces together in an effort to unite Canada. "scapegoat" le le Says Hamilton BRANDON, Man. (CP)--Op- position Leader John Diefen- baker is being made a "'scape- goat for other people's policies and mistakes," former Consery- ative agriculture minister Alvin Hamilton said Thursday.

A few minutes later a mob smashed the doors and windows of the U.S, Information Service Library four blocks from the embassy. Crowds, mostly youths, knocked over police boxes in main city streets. By mid-afternoon, scattered groups of demonstrators were moving allover Saigon. A Buddhist source telephoned the Associated Press office that a monk would burn himself on a main city boulevard near the central market later in the day. This is the immolation tech- nique that did much to rally opinion against the late Presi- dent Ngo Dinh Diem. The Buddhists broke ranks under the attack and dispersed in all directions, on the third day of a "fast to the death" at Buddhist head- quarters by five leading monks demanding the resignation of Premier Huong. Despite the political turmoil in Saigon, the war against the Paratroops Smash Way Through Monks, Nuns Communist Viet Cong continued in the countryside. Government forces were flown into a battle in the Mekong Delta Thursday and killed 46 guerrillas and cap- tured 61 others. It was described asthe gov- ernuent's biggest victory in weeks.
