The paratroopers arrested 70 monks and about 100 of their followers after using tear- gas to stop a demonstration in front of the headquarters of the Gia Dinh provincial chief. --(AP Wirephoto) Girl, 17, Burns Herself To Death SAIGON (AP)--A 17-year-old,terfront home of the local pro-|nearly 100 of their followers in South Vietnamese girl drenched|vincial chief The girl, a student) Gia Dinh after the Buddhists herself with gasoline and burned herself to death today in protest against the govern- ment of Premier Tran Van Hu- ong. It was the first such protest suicide since 1963, when immo- lations by Buddhists helped bring down the government of the late president Ngo Dinh Diem. The suicide today took place at Nha Trang, a coastal city 200 miles north of Saigon where an anti-government demonstra- tion was under way. A second schoolgirl in Nha Trang also doused herself with gasoline, but the mob grabbed her and prevented her burning herself. ' Witnesses reported from Nha Trang that about 4,000 persons had assembled before the wa- named' Hoang Thi Yen Phu, moved apart from the crowd and, unnoticed by the other demonstrators, poured gasoline over herseli. Then she set herself afire and was dead before anyone could) extinguish the flames. Buddhist monks picked up the body and carried it at the head) of a huge procession to the lo-| cal Buddhist pagoda. In 1963, six Buddhist monks} and one nun burned themselves to death in protest against the Diem government. | Buddhist demonstrations broke out today in suburbs of} Saigon, but calm was reported in the northern city of Hue, where rioting, arson and pillag-| ing occurred Monday. | Government paratroopers ar- rested some 70 monks and) RCAF TO FLY IN Scarlet Fever -- Near Kingston? KINGSTON (CP) -- Henry Wightman, chairman of Lennox and Addington County board of health, said Monday arrange- ments have been made with RCAF search and rescue at Trenton to fly a doctor and three nurses to Amherst Island today to investigate what is be- lieved to be an outbreak of scarlet fever. Amherst Island, with a popu- lation of 400, is about two miles from the mainland in Lake On- tario, mid-way between King- ston and Napanee. The island has been isolated since the ferry Amherst Is- lander broke down Thursday while trying to push through the ice and slush-jammed channel. Mr. Wightman said Dr. R. A. McLellan, medical officer of health, and three county health nurses will fly to the island, weather permitting, and con- duct tests and provide treat- ment where necessary. Malcolm Isbister, principal of the island's public school, said 25 per. cent of the 103 students are affected by the illness. A nurse who visited the school last Wednesday reported a high incidence of sore throats. Dr. McLellan said an out- break of scarlet fever would be a relatively routine matter and demonstrated. In another suburb, police and| soldiers stopped some 200 stu- dents whe tried to set fire to market stalls. students were arrested. About 10,000 persons were in-| |volved in the anti-Huong dem-) jonstration at Hue Monday. | OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva- tive party President Dalton K. has asked the national executive whether it wants to meet within the next three weeks to decide on a leader- ship convention or delay the question until the next regular meeting, an informant said Monday. Mr. Camp's letter, written following the demands of the 10- member Quebec caucus for a convention to decide on John Diefenbaker's leadership, has already been answered by many of the 120-member executive. The letter asks a '"'yes" or "no" answer to the following three questions: --Are you in favor of holding an executive meeting to de- cide on a leadership conven- tion? --If so, should the executive meet before Feb, 1 as Quebec Leader Leon Balcer and his foll s have di ded? --Should the question be brought up at the next regu- lar meeting of the executive? Enclosed with the Camp letter] was the letter from Mr. Balcer which said the party's '"na- tional leadership" is turning a blind eye to the social-economic revolution in Quebec and dis- torting the aspirations of Prench-Canadians. "Tt is our firm conviction, reached after the most careful SCHOOL OFFICIAL SHOCKED Drinking Bout TORONTO (CP)--A Ryerson Polytechnical Institute official said Monday he is shocked by reports that a Ryerson student had been in a drinking contest before being killed in a car ac- cident Saturday. David Sutherland, director of student affairs, said: '"'It's out of our hands now and we'll have to wait for the result of the in- quest." Thomas Dasovich, 26, of Tor- onto, a journalism student, died when his car crossed the path of another car and was thrown against a third one. Glen Woodcock of the frater- nity Rho Alpha Kappa said fraternities at Ryerson had been informed by the executive of Theta Kappa Chi that a Before Car Death drinking contest held Friday night offered a trophy for the fraternity that could drink the most beer. Ross Patterson, president of Theta, said that Dosovich rep- resented Tau Epsilon Nu in the contest, which had entrants from Theta and Delta Sigma Phi. Mr, Patterson said that after the contest Dasovich's keys had been taken from him as a precautionary measure and he must have started his car with- out them. Commenting on the reports, Mr. Sutherland said: "This in- cident brings home the prob- consideration, that the Conser- vative party can no _ longer carry on as a great national party under its present leader- ship and the policies which that leadership have engendered," Mr. Balcer's letter said. The Quebec caucus at a meet- ing in Montreal about two weeks ago asked that the executive meet to fix a date for a lead- ership convention. Normally, a convention is held only when there is a' va- cancy. The caucus met following Mr. Balcer's pre - Christmas statement that he was consid- ering bolting the Conservative party to sit as an independent. TORONTO (CP) -- Premier, Robarts evaded questions Mon- day on the federal Progressive Conservative leadership contro- versy. In an interview after the leg- islature adjourned its brief ses- sion, Mr. Robarts said it is up to the party's national execu- tive to call a leadership con- vention. "Anything they do is okay Leadership Convention Question Put To Tories Relations between himself and the opposition leader have' never been éasy, but became more strained over Mr. Balcer's annoyance with Mr. Diefen- baker's pronounced policies to- wards Quebec and federal-pro- vincial relations. The caucus demand triggered with a number endorsing the call for a convention. The party's executive met late last year and decided against holding an annual meet- ing until the executive deter- mined whether a 1965 general election was likely or not. Robarts Steers Clear Of "Dump Diet" Question Asked whether he would be a Over Dupuis OTTAWA (CP) -- Spokesmen for all four opposition parties ctiticized Prime Minister Pear- son Monday for keeping silent on his abrupt firing of Yvon Dupuis as minister without portfolio Friday.

Mr. Dupuis, who was _inter- viewed by the prime minister last Wednesday, has denied any wrongdoing. He was appointed to the cabi- inet almost a year ago, mainly on the strength of his leather- ged eget ge J in Quebec lection cam- aouette and his followers. Gilles Gregoire, Creditiste house leader, predicted that ithe government will be forced to call a general election for June, perhaps earlier, to end an impasse in Parliament. "Tf there is a non-confidence motion relating to all the re- cent scandals, we certainly will vote against the government," he said in an interview, refer- ring to the 13 Creditiste MPs. STILL IN CONTROL "The prime minister is trying to clean up the Liberals' Mont- real machine, but the old guard remains in control." Mr. Gregoire said Mr. Pear- held, he replied: "I'll be there to see what's going on. Who knows what will happen?" He did not answer a ques- tioner who asked whether he is happy with the leadership of John Diefenbaker.

Dr. Peter Rossi, 44, direc- tor of the university national+ opinion research centre, says a four-year study has shown that the "happiest man" is young, wealthy, married, at the height of his powers-- "he's the playboy of the West- ern world." The study,. based on thou- sands of personal interviews, also revealed that marriage, one of the wellsprings of hap- piness for a man, brings more unhappiness to women because of the tensions of bearing and rearing children. The important happiness factors are money and age, Rossi said in an interview Monday. son is "extraordinarily naive" and always the last one to hear about his ministers' dealings. The Creditiste MPs would ask plenty of questions about the circumstances of an application for a racetrack franchise by pro- moters in Mr, Dupuis' constitu- ency. "Dupuis has always been a clown and an incompetent," he said, Mr. Gregoire thought it un- likely that the Liberals will be toppled in a test of confidence soon oe the session resumes OWED TO PUBLIC "The prime minister owes it to the public to explain the cir- cumstances as soon as possible. If no clarification is forthcom- ing, the early recall of the House certainly is in order." The prime minister's office said Mr. Pearson has no plans for a statement in the near fu- ture, Mr. Dupuis was not avail- able for comment. Conservative House Leader Gordon Churchill also said a full explanation from the prime minister is needed, but doubted that an emergency session is necessary, Parliament is to resume the current session Feb. 16, and Mr. Churchill noted that for the next week the prime minister and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker will be occupied in attending Sir Winston Churchill's funeral. "By next week we'll be pretty close to Feb. 16," he said. Mr. Dupuis, at 38 the young- est member of the Liberal cabi- net, was fired Friday.

De Gaulle will be accompanied by Geoffroy de Courcel, French ambassador in London, and Ad- miral Georges Cabanier, chief of staff of the French Navy. Former French premier Paul Reynaud also will attend the funeral Saturday. "When you're young, you've got 15 or 20 years ahead of you to answer the question: 'What have I don't' "', he said. "But older people suffer chronic illness, loss of powers and vigor, an accumulation of desperation and disappoint- ment. They don't have those years ahead of them.

For instances, he said, his "unhappiest man" is the working class city Negro. "He's at the bottom of the totem pole," Rossi said. "He's poor, he's unhealthy, he has no job security. To be a lower class Negro in urban areas is to be in a really punishing situation.' -- WEATHER FORECAST TORONTO (CP)--Forecast is- sued by the weather office at 5:30 a.m.: Synopsis: Precipitation will) end tonight as northerly winds bring in cooler air.
