(CP) -- City Coroner Glen McDonald said Monday night he found "a great deal of evidence' about the cause of last week's crash of a Canadian Pacific Airlines DC-6B in a trip to the scene Monday. He said the evidence sup- ported one of a number of theo- ries so far given for the disas- ter that took 52 lives. But Mr. McDonald declined to say what theory and refused further comment on the inves- tigation pending a closed meet- ing today of pathologists, RCMP and transport department in- vestigators. Transport department off i- cials Monday confirmed that the plane exploded before it crashed Thursday, 170 miles northeast of Vancouver, as it was on its way to Prince George and other northern points. None of the investigating teams has revealed whether any evidence points to a bomb or any other cause for the explo- sion.

Pathologists have discovered fragments of paint or celluloid imbedded deep in the flesh of some of the victims. These were being checked for powder burns from dynamite, It was announced that the in- quest into the deaths, slated to open today, has been postponed indefinitely. There was no rea- son given. Dr. Thomas How, regional di- rector of air services for the transport department, con- firmed the explosion report. He said the discovery of metal in the three bodies x-rayed would indicate their proximity to the |blast. He said one body is that of Steve Koleszar, 54, a powder-|* man on his way to a construc- tion project.

It stayed there, too. "All those in favor of sex raise your right hand," shouted chairman David Lewis of Toronto. There was massive ap- proval. The word was inserted in that part of the constitution which says party membership shall be open to anyone re- gardless of race, creed, lan- guage, among other things. Now it is also regardless of ex. "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard' of," huffed one unidentified dele- gate into a microphone. He started to say more -- then turned and stomped off to his seat. WOMAN ROSE A woman rose to suggest it would be best for everyone concerned to vote for the mo- tion without too much ado. Up to this point, every utterance on the subject sent a wave of laughter through the huge convention room, "Vote against this,". she said, "and the press is going to come out and say we're against it." Mr. Lewis took out his gavel and asked whether the house was ready for the ques- tion. Murray Cotterhill, an offi- cial of the United Steelwork- ers of America, then offered the suggestion that the mat- ter 'should be delayed to a more appropriate hour." That brought the house down. Someone said it wasn't an important question, But Mr. Lewis, desperately trying to be firm, said it was 'a mat- ter of tremendous impor- tance." That didn't help the de- corum one bit. Up to this point, no one seemed to mind the heart of OB TE MC NT a eg cgay the matter being carried out of proportions by an escala- tion of words. But one delegate at the back of the room suddenly became annoyed. He jumped to a microphone and heatedly said this was no laughing matter. "Very stupid of us to dis- cuss it further," he said, 'I never included myself as be- ing a homosexual." With the humor gone, the matter quickly came .to a vote. The show of hands made it official that party member- ship will never be refused on purely biological grounds.

JOHNSON SURPRISED KENNEDY CAMP BY ACCEPTING V-P OFFER FK Figured LBJ Wouldn't Run: Historian NEW YORK (AP)--The late John F. Kennedy vice 1960 ticket to Lyndon B. son believing there was tically no chance Johnson wou accept," historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. said Monday. The account, in Life maga- zme, was taken from the histor- ian's forthcoming book, A Thou- sand Days: John F. Kennedy in the White House. Schlesinger was Kennedy's special assistant in the White House. In Johnson City, Tex., aides of President Johnson said there would be oo comment on the offered t Jok - presidential spot on his "prac: he events. hn- his nomination in 1960 t id M. day in the belief new 'would reunite the Schlesinger version of the 1960 Kennedy decided the night of the offer to Johnson the next s of it Democrats, ble with party libe: posed Johnson*and a convention floor him.

"Now he saw what might be a last chance to break out of the who s trap and become a leader, He doubtless ticket would more than make up for liberal losses with southern gains.

But Kennedy's own staff was shocked at the possibility of Jobnson on the ticket, Schle- singer wrote; the nominee hime self was certain be "y in trou- hold their own people in line if Johnson were chosen and pre- dicted convention mutiny," Schlesinger said. REJECTED ADVICE Johnson was advised by his wife and nearly all his friends not to take the vice-presidential spot if it were offered, Schle- singer said.

Beyond this, saw, too,'a chance to save the South from growing bitterness and isolation by leading it back into the Democratic party and the national consensus." The effect, in the end, Schle- singer said, was Johnson's ac- ceptance; a final wavering on Kennedy's party because of the threatened floor fight, and a reassurance from an aide that to Johnson saying, "he wants you to be vice - president if you want to be vice-president.'* But Robert was obviously un- happy ~~ about it, Schlesinger said.

ENVOY U.K. Seeks A Conference To Open Viet Nam Talks By GEOFFREY WHITEHEAD LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit- ain today revealed a new initi- ative over Indochina as°a spe- cial British emissary flew out of Hanoi after an apparent re- buff from top North Vietna- mese leaders, The British government an- nounced it has again told the Soviet Union that it would like an early international confer- ence to reinforce the neutrality of Cambodia, neighbor of war- torn Viet Nam. Diplomatic sources said such a conference would offer a chance 'for informal East-West contacts behind the scenes on the grave Viet Nam situation. The announcement of the new move came as Harold Davies, a British junior cabinet minister, flew into Vientiane, capital of Laos, after having failed to per- suade North Viet Nam to re- ceive the Commonwealth's Viet Nam peace mission. Davies, Prime Minister Wil- son's personal peace envoy, would only tell reporters' that his trips had been "useful." SOUGHT LEADERS Davies flew into Vientiane on a plane of the International Control Commission. He trans- ferred to an RCAF plane that A Housewife vd been sent to Bangkok for im. Informed sources here said that as far as was known Da- vies--who claims to be a per- sonal friend of President Ho Chi Minh--had not been able to see either the North Vietna- mese leader or his prime min- ister, Pham Van Dong. Davies, 61 - year - old parlia- mentary secretary to the pen- sions ministry, during his five- day stay in Hanoi only met leaders of the Fatherland Front, which includes the Communist party, representatives of eco- nomic and religious groups and the country's democratic and socialist parties. In these talks, the sources said, the North Viet Nam of- ficials tried to persuade Davies to visit areas which had been --e by United States air- craft. But they denied western ra- dio reports that Davies could -- have met President Ho Chi Minh if he went on such a tour. Davies, the sources said, in fact refused to take part in such a Communist organized tour. British officials declined to comment on Davies' visit. How- ever, they outlined the steps leading to the new. Indochina initiative. Gets Places Davies Failed To Tread LONDON (CP)--A Canadian- born housewife who succeeded in seeing North Viet Nam's president, Ho Chi Minh, in Ha- noi said today the Communist leader will never negotiate un- der pressure and if necessary, is prepared to "fight to the bit- ter end." Mrs. Verdun Perl, 49-year-old native of Natal, B.C., who un- successfully ran as Liberal can- didate in the 1959 and 1964 Brit- ish general elections, described the North Vietnamese leader as a "very charming gentleman who spoke English perfectly, so that there was no need for an interpreter." Mrs, Perl said she was in- vited to go to North Viet Nam by the World Peace Council, be- cause of her long-time interest in Viet Nam and her neutral po- litical position. She said she is not a member of the council. Mrs..Perl had a two-hour talk with Ho Chi Minh over tea last Thursday. She said he told her he would be prepared to go to the conference table "if the Americans would uphold ' the terms of the 1954 Geneva agree- ment and withdraw. their forces." "But he will not talk pressure and if necessary, prepared to fight to the end. I got the impression he was very confident." WANTS PEACE Asked whether Ho Chi Minh talked about Chinese support, Mrs. Perl said: "I think we in the West place more emphasis on the Chinese role in this than the people of Viet Nam. "What the president wants for North Viet Nam is. peace and quiet and complete neutral- ity--with neither Soviet nor Chi- nese influence." Mrs. Perl, who spent five days in Hanoi and travelled outside the -city, said she was horrified at the ravages of the U.S. air raids. "The destruction is. unbeliev- able. It is almost beyond com- prehension that the Americans should be doing this." Mrs. Perl said her opposition to U.S. policy in Viet Nam does not mean she subscribes to '"'the Communist line" or that she is anti-American. She said there is too much tendency for any- one interested in peace to be labelled a Communist, NEWS HIGHLIGHTS France Begins To Make Better A-Bomb PARIS (Reuters) -- France has started manufacturing a@ new and improved atomic bomb, the French Atomic En- ergy Commission announced Monday.
