Ottawa: A Week Of Inconclusion By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons has ended a week of in- conclusive debate with such issues as the Lucien Rivard affair, pensions, bilingualism, parliamentary reform and opt- ing - out legislation hanging in mid air. ' Add to that a government motion to lengthen House sit- tings next week and growing speculation about the timing of the next election and the result could be a war of nerves. Speaker -Alan Macnaughton will rule Monday whether he accepts a New Democratic mo- tion authorizing Prime Minister Pearson, Justice Minister Fav- reau, Postmaster - General Tremblay and Erik Nielsen (PC--Yukon) to testify at the Dorion judicial inquiry. Mr. Pearson said no such motion is necessary but the Opposition could well force the issue to a vote. Mr. Nielsen told the House Friday he has been asked to testify when the Dorion inquiry resumes here Tuesday. He was anxious to do so but the laws of Parliament required a formal. motion, which would be debatable. It was Mr. Nielsen's sensa- tional allegations of attempted corruption and political press- ure in the Lucien Rivard extra- dition case that led to the ap- pointment of the inquiry com- mission last November. day is a bid by Gerard Perron (Creditiste--Beauce) to shelve the Canada Pension Plan until a report on pension committee hearings is translated into French. Government translators were working around the clock and through the weekend in a crash program to complete the big job by Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Perron said outside the House he has a new motion ready, seeking a further suspension in the pension de- bate to allow French - speaking MPs to study the committee proceedings. Debate could resume Monday BEAR OK; WIFE HARD TO BEAR LONDON (AP) -- A man drove into the law courts car park Friday and asked the attendant: "Look after my bear, will you? I've got to go get a divorce." The attendant, Bert Streth- dee, looked into the car. In the rear seat was a large female Himalayan bear. "T don't like bears," said Strethdee. 'She'll have to look after herself." 'Well, I guess she'll be all right," said the animal's owner, John W. Donovan. Off he went to the divorce court. There he was awarded an uncontested decree against his wife, Florence. The bear slept through the hearing. 'IN THE FOREFRONT OF ATOMS FOR PEACE' . This is the second of three articles by Times reporter Ron Devaney on Canada's nuclear power and research organization. At present, preliminary work is being carried out by the Atom Energy Commission for the construction of a million- kilowatt power plant at Frenchmean's Bay, halfway between Oshawa and Tor- onto, The first article dealt with the workings of a prototype plant at Rolphton. The following is concerned with atomic research at Chalk River, Ontario. \--This is the heartland of Can- adian nuclear research. . on a government bill authoriz- ing the provinces to stay out of 17 federal-provincial programs.

Low temperature irradiation studies are showing changes in solids and how stable these changes are. And a new type of gamma ray detector has been developed, useful for studying high energy gamma rays. In chemistry, reactor fuel stability and the release and absorption of gases by uranium dioxide fuel under irradiation have been studied, In metal- lurgy, work studied includes the use of zirconium and tin alloy for pressure tubes and sheathing in reactors. Also -- an aid to future reactor systems -- work on the use of ammonia instead of lithium hydroxide for acidity control.

Ottawa - based Commercial Products is an arm of AECL. CP is responsible for the pro- cessing and marketing of radio- isotopes produced in the Chalk River reactors. There are now more than 300 Cobalt 60 units in use in 41 countries of the world, all made here. Gamma ray sources are also turned out.

(CP) -- Lo- cal 13160, District 50, United Mine Workers of America (CLC), and Du Pont of Canada Limited reached a 24-year col- lective agreement Friday, end- ing a strike that began Feb. 25 at the company's works here. Union members earlier Fri- day voted 778 to 515 to authorize their bargaining committee to negotiate a settlement with the) company. A company spokesman said terms of the new agreement, which replaces a contract that expired last Oct. 20, are: --Across - the - board in- creases of 12 cents an hour retroactive to last Oct. 21 during the first year, nine cents during the second year and six cents during a six- month contract extension. The retroactive aspect means an immediate lump sum pay- ment of $86.40 to each of the 1,800 union members. --An additional increase of five cents an hour, also retro- active to Oct. 21, for about 300 craftsmen during the first year, and a further five cents during the second year.
