He may be less keen if the job turns out to.be just one of transmitting documents among the membership. DEFINE JOB'S SCOPE Before the nine-day confer- ence of Commonwealth prime ministers got 'under way today, senior officials spent several days attempting to reach agree- ment on the terms of reference for a secretariat that could be the hottest favorite is their thinking. And the leaders of Nigeria, Malaysia and Uganda seemed to agree with Britain and Canada. The gist of their thinking is that the leaders should be cau- tious; that the secretary-gen- eral should not be given much power initially and that he should have no power to medi- ate politically between Com- monwealth countries. PEARSON SEES CHANGE Pearson said that while Can- ada in the past opposed a Com- monwealth secfetariat, it now favored the proposal, believing that the Commonwealth institu- tion had changed. He said, however, too much executive power might lead into trouble and do more harm than good. Prime Minister Wilson sug- gested the man chosen should be more of a secretary and les: of a general. He should be able to collect a lot of information and: be a continuing link be- Rhodesia May Be Catalyst In Hottest Parley Debate | By CARL MOLLINS LONDON (CP)--The trouble- some issue of Rhodesia's future could provoke the most explo- sive debate of the nine-day con- ference of Commonwealth lead- ers which opened here today. Host Prime Minister Wilson' who regards the issue as a bi- lateral matter between Britain and Rhodesia, is under heavy pressure from African leaders to take a tougher line against the white minority government of Ian Smith.

He told what may be the last } annual meeting of the Carleton Conservative Association that the. redistribution commission made "mathematical equality good" and had produced a "car- tographer's nightmare' by drawing lines through the rid- ing maps in Ontario. LINDSAY, Ont. (CP)--A for- mer Conservative premier of Ontario urged Conservative members of Parliament Wed- nesday to "raise hell' about the proposed redistribution of fed- eral ridings made public earlier this week.

He said the provincial gov- ernment tried to make the changes -- which involve an amendment to the constitution --through the provincial houses but the efforts were frustrated in the legislative council -- the upper house. The legislative assembly -- the lower house -- then approved an address to the Queen asking royal ap- proval for the changes.

The Commons in 1871 adopted a resolution that 'no changes in the provisions of the BNA Act (would) be sought by the executive government without the previous assent of the Par- liament of this dominion." But Mr. Martin said "that view does not apply to a change sought by the government of a lprovince relating solely to the constitution of that province." At another point he said: "The government has assumed that Parliament would not wish to do anything which would either deny the right of a prov- jince to have its own constitu- tion amended in an _ entirely constitutional way, through 'HIGHLIGHTS OF 'METRO REPORT | TORONTO (CP) High- lights of the Goldenberg re- port on Metropolitan Toronto to the Ontario government: Consolidation of the 13 Metro municipalities into four cities.

Continued from page one 4 "As a result," Mr. Golden- berg wrote, "in an area which is a social and economic unit there are undue inequalities in the burden of financing essen- tial services and in the range and standards of some of the basic services provided. "While the equalizing influ- ence of Mi has prevented far greater ualities from) developing, the spread between the lowest and highest - taxed municipalities has tended to widen." He also observed that reform is imperative in representation on the Metropolitan council, where Swansea's 9300 people and North Yorkjs 340,000 have equal representation. Mr. Goldenberg, a 57-year-old troubleshooter who has under- taken inquiries for many gov- ernments in Canada, said: "Having regard to the strong instinct for institutional self- preservation," he wrote, "I know-that the suggested elimin- ation of nine municipalities, with a reduction in the mem- bership of municipal councils in the area from 119 to 78, will encounter strong resistance.
