British PMs' Conference Biggest Ever LONDON (CP)--The_biggest- ever conference of Common- wealth prime ministers, in point of numbers, will be held here June 17-25, it wae announced] Thursday. White -- supremacist Rhode- sia, British immigration, in-)- creased trade and the final shape of the new Common- wealth secretariat will be among topics discussed at the meeting, the first presided over by Britain's Labor prime minister, Harold Wilson. Another. newly-rivived topic is the concept of a Common- wealth parliamentary assem- bly, now being considered by Commonwealth Relations Sec- retary Arthur Bottomley. Gambia, West African country of 300,000 population, became a fully-fledged member of the Commonwealth last month and her prime minister, David Ja- ware, will bring the numer of premiers and presidents around the conference table at Marl- borough House to 21 for the first time.

The key opposition complaint was over minimum earnings. Dr. C. J. M. Willoughby (PC-- Kamloops) moved to amend the bill so that persons who apply for pension at 65 rather than 70 could earn' $1,800 an- nually instead of $900 without losing pension benefits. He said the effect was to discourage people from contin- uing work after 65. This would employees coming under . the code's jurisdiction. The Conservative amendment would exempt grain elevator operators, railway workers, truckers on interprovincial longshoremen and crew mem- bers of civil aircraft. The labor code would provide for an eight-hour day, 40-hour week; a minimum wage of $1.25 an hour and eight paid statutory holidays. It also re- stricts overtime work to eight hours or less a week. i eas ED B and hand in-her New York apartment today.

If these people could be convinced to carry on some form of mental and _ physical activity they would be very much less of a burden on the welfare of our country," Miss LaMarsh disagreed with the 70-year-old medical doctor. She said no one was forced to take the pension at 65. Dr. Willoughby suggested the minister did not know human nature. People would take out of the pension what they could as soon as they could because it was money from their own contributions. The .amendment was defeated 85 to 62.

CLEARANCE E., OSHAWA LONDON (CP) -- Nomina- tions closed today for the first of two byelections that may provide a clue in Britain's big- gest guessing game--the timing of the next general election. Few political' observers se- riously expect Prime Minister Wilson to call a general elec- tion soon. Nevertheless a cer- tain tenseness is in the air be- cause of the heavy economic difficulties facing Wilson's La- bor government and his minute margin in the House of Com- mons, The three main political parties are mounting a tre- mendous battle in the two by- elections. The first will be held March 23 in Saffron Walden, an Essex constituency north of London, and the second in Rox- burgh, Selkirk and Peebles, a Scottish border riding, the fol- lowing day. Labor fervently hopes that the voters of Saffron Walden will go the socialist way at last after sending R. A. (Rab) But- ler, Conservative former for- eign secretary, to Parliament in eveny election for 35 years. Butler, a brilliant if enigmatic minister, retired from the House last month, accepting a life peerage and becoming mas- ter of Trinity College, Cam- bridge, after being passed over twice for the Conservative party General Election Expectations Up Some observers estimate his "personal vote" in the constitu- ency may have been as high. as 4,000 and Labor hopes that many of these voters will be lost to the Tories now that But- ler is off the scene. Butler won the constituency with a 5,000-vote majority in the Oct. 15 general election, It is freely surmised that Wil- kson arranged to have the Saf- fron Walden poll held one day ahead of the Scottish byelection in the hopes that a Labor gain there would improve socialist chances in Roxburgh. The Scottish poll was made necessary by the death ot Cmdr. C. E. M. Donaldson, for- mer Canadian Navy man, raised in British Columbia, who held the seat since 1951 and was returned in the last general election with a sharply reduce: majority. LIBERAL THREAT No fewer than 34 politicians are campaigning for the three candidates in Roxburgh, a sprawling riding where sheep outnumber constituents, and the chief threat to the Tory candi- date, R. L. McEwen, 38-year- old barrister, comes from Lib- eral D. M. S. Steel, 26-year-old television interviewer who fought Donaldson in the general election. leadership.

A Conservative amendment to raise the amount a pen- sioner could earn and still draw benefits was defeated 85 to 62. It was. proposed by Dr. C. J. M. Willoughby (Kamloops), who said the government should encourage people to stay active after 65. Health Minister Judy. La- Marsh said no one is forced to retire at 65 under the plan. They would be encouraged to keep working because of a chance for better benefits with a later retirement. Jack Horner (PC--Acadia) wondered how the federal plan would be meshed with the 5,000 private plans now in operation. Revenue Minister Benson said in many cases the Can- ada plan will be a floor on which other plans would be stacked. The Senate studied the fed- eral labor code setting hours of work and minimum pay rates for some 500,000 work- ers, Senator Jacques Flynn (PC -- Quebec) moved an amendment that would ex- empt many of these workers from the code's provisions. FRIDAY, March 12 The Commons meets at il GEOLOGISTS CONVINCED THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Merch 12, 1965 3 ~ TIMMINS (CP)--Two geolo- gists testified at a royal com- mission hearing Thursday that samples of earth and sludge taken from the drill site on the property of Windfall Oils and Mines Limited were worthless, The hearing, which later ad- journed until Tuesday, heard Patrick Weenan, an employee for Conwest Explorations Lim- ited, testify that he flew to the Windfall property July 6 and took a sample of sludge and had it assayed, Slusge is the mud-like material which is de- posited around a drill hole as the bit enters the earth. He said he received the re- port from a laboratory in Kirk- land Lake the morning after Windfall stock began its rise on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The commission has been set up to investigate the circum- stances surrounding the rise of the stock on rumors that ore had been found. The property is located near the site of a cop- per-zinc discovery by Texas Gulf Sulphur valued at about $2,000,000,000. Shares of Windfall stock in- creased in price to $5.60 from Windfall Land Worth Nothing 56 cents and fell to 80 cents be- tween July 6 and July 31. Fe The report, Mr. Heenan re- ° ceived, he said, revealed that the sludge contained no silver, a trace of copper, one one-hun- dredth per cent zonc, and about 17 cents worth of gold.

Quebec Stalls College' Try OTTAWA (CP) -- Quebec op- position members stalled Com- mons action Thursday on a bill incorporating the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. They feared the organization --a merger of two existing or- ganizations -- might become an agency for federal government intervention in the provincial field of education. The association combines the present Canadian Universities Foundation and the National Conference of Canadian Uni- versities and Colleges. They act as an agent for the federal government in the dis- tribution of federal grants of $2 per capita to the universities and colleges in all provinces except Quebec. SHOULD ASK PROVINCES Gilles Gregoire (Creditiste-- Lapointe) said provincial gov- ernments should be asked whether they agree with the new association being formed. In any case, he added, the as- sociation might become a tool by which the federal govern- ment would interfere with edu- cation rights in Quebec. Remi Paul (Ind. -- Berthier- Maskin on ge - Delanaudiere), said the bill violates the con- a resolution ealling on the gov- ernment to set up a compul- British Columbia--Labor Min- member A!ex MacDonald (NDP journed until March 16. Bell Tolls For The MP OTTAWA (CP)--Members of Parliament are called into ses- sion, adjourn their meetings, go to meals and are summoned to vote by the clanging sound of bells in the corridors of the Par- 'Nament Buildings. In addition, since 1960 some of them have had a variety of buzzer signals to listen for when then are out of the Commons chamber, Because these buzzer signals are given only for Liberal and Progressive Conservative MPs, t& formal protest has been lodged with Commons Speaker Alan Macnaughton by Gerard (Perron (Creditiste--Beauce). The other parties--Creditiste, Social Credit and New Demo- \crat--deserve equal right to have their lives governed by the buzzer as well as the bell, Mr. Perron argues. FIVE-MINUTE WALK The buzzer system is used to warn Liberal and Progressive Conservative MPs with offices in the West Block of the Parlia- ment Buildings that their pres- ence is needed in the Commons chamber, a_ five-minute walk awy in the Centre Block. It comes into play when the party whip figures too few of his members are present in the chamber or when someone calls a snap vote in committee of the whole.
