Among the- uncommitted voters for the Nov. 8 election --politicians say 40 per cent of the population--is Scramp Walton, occupation playboy. That's because no candidate has yet got down to the bones of the campaign, like pensions care. Scamp is a poodle who, says his owner, realtor Rob- ert Walton, put on quite a ance for the enumer- ators on the riding's Russell Hill Road. "He sat up and: begged when the enumerators came," said Mr. Walton. "One enum- erator said the dog was smart and I allowed that he was certainly smarter than some people connected pith the election." Mr. Walton thought it a joke when the enumerator handed him a slip with Scamp's name on it. But then the name appeared on the elector's list. "Now," says Mr. Walton, "Scamp has been offered a a bribe . . I understand, They told him he could have a cabinet post, but he's hold- ing out for 14 telephone poles instead." : Phoney Bankruptcies Cost Lumbermen Pile MONTREAL (CP)--The Ca- to be involved in the intermin-|fraudulent bankruptcies is be- nadian Lumbermen's Associa- tion Tuesday said that fraudu- lent bankruptcies linked with the underworld have cost the lumber industry in Quebec $46,- 000,000 in the past three years. The association, meeting here, commented on the situa- tion after studying a special CLA committee report which expressed a strong conviction that "this sordid situation" has links with political campaign payments, narcotics peddling and arson swindles. The investigating team, which studied the problem for seven months, was headed by J. Ray- mond Leblanc of Montreal, a lumber dealer who claimed his own firm was bilked in the pro- cess. His committee's report called for a royal commission to probe the fraudulent bankruptcy racket.

(AP)-- A young Ku Klux Klansman's murder trial may be put. off un- til spring unless the Alabama state Supreme Court can hand down a speedy ruling today on a juror selection law. The question asked of the Su- preme Court: Can jurors who say they regard Negroes and civil rights workers as inferior be dismissed from the trial on grounds they are prejudiced? The Kiansman, Collie Leroy Ala., is charged with the slay- ing of a white civil rights worker, Mrs. Viola Luzzo, last March 25 near Hayneville. Mrs. Liuzzo, a 39-year-old De- troit housewife and mother of dive children, was killed as she drove Negroes back to Selma after they staged a 50-mile march on the state capitol. T.

"We religious people have frightened teen-agers by talk- ing about pregnancy and ve- mereal disease," Rev, Grant Darling of London, Ont, said, "Well, the fears have gone, The kids know there are good contraceptives," he said. Mr. Darling was one of sev- eral Anglican clergymen who spoke on the question of teen- age sex to the eastern re- tional conference of the Moth- ers} Union. "We just don't have any- thing to scare them off," he said. "Our gimmicks are gone." He said the church has failed to provide adequate sex information for children. Canon J. C. Bothwell said too many parents think if they keep their daughters from becoming pregnant they have done their Christian duty, "But all they've done is -- the mg out of them. 'Sex may high, mighty and holy, but it's also fun," he said. liminary hearing is held and possibly a voluntary statement --a stage in Quebec procedure where the defence can present evidence aimed at getting the ag dismissed without a trial.

Marie de Beauce; Paul Chandonnet, 38, of Sherbrooke; jand Redempteur Faucher, 47, and Paul Brie, 43, both of Que- bec City. Lamothe, 43, is a bankrupt lumber dealer.

"Since 1962, and the time just after the election of that year, I have taken no active part in politics, whether federal or pro- vincial," said Mr. Ducharme. In a pamphlet published last week, Dr. Guy Marcoux, a So- cial Credit MP in the last Par- liament, said Mr. Ducharme, described as lawyer for indus- trialist John Doyle, drafted the statement of support in a Mont- real hotel. The statement later was re- pudiated by the six MPs, who all have since become mem- bers of Real Caouette's Credit- iste party. "I am a complete stranger to this affair of the signing of the document by the six MPs,"' Mr. Ducharme said Monday in an interview.

Charge The document was sworn to by Moise Darabaner, in his role as commissioner of the Quebec Superior Court in Quebec City. Darabaner, a Quebec City businessman, now faces charges of arson and fraud, and conspiracy to commit ar- son and fraud. The pamphlet said that once the statement of support was drafted in Montreal, Mr. Du- charme rushed to Montreal Air- port to join Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland, Transport Minister Pickersgill, Mr. Doyle and others waiting in Mr. Doyle's private plane. Arriving later in Quebec, Mr. Ducharme pas said by the pamphlet to have met Daraba- ner and to have turned the do- cument over to him, Then the six MPs went to a suburban motel to discuss it. Mr. Doyle has been quoted in published reports. from Toronto: as terming Dr. Marcoux's statements "hogwash without a grain of truth." this afternoon or he rescheduled next May. CALLED RECESS Thagard called a 24-hour re- cess Tuesday to permit the chief prosecutor, Attorney - General Richmond Flowers, to appeal for a ruling on the question of prejudice to the high court. Flowers had protested that 11 of 30 jurors qualified to hear the case should be dismissed be- cause they indicated prejudice which would keep the state from getting a fair trial. Most jurors said Monday they felt Negroes were inferior to whites and they also felt that white civil rights workers who "socialized" with Negroes are inferior. However, they said they be- lieve they could judge the evi- dence fairly and if it were suf- ficient, call for the death pen- alty. . Flowers said, "If they sin- cerely believe the deceased (Mrs. Liuzzo) is an inferior per- son, I don't think you could give any credence to their other statement." Johnson In Top Shape, May Leave WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pres- ident Johnson got word from his doctors today. that he can leave hospital any time "after tonight." Presidential secretary Bill D. Moyers said, however, that Johnson will remain at Be- thesda Naval Hospital tonight and he will have further word later when the president plans to leave. The doctors gave the word after examining the president late Tuesday night and this morning. Moyers reported they found "everything was in very good order." The president's electrocardio- gram was "'perfect", Moyers said, and his blood pressure better than any of the doctors in the group--even the young- est. Johnson underwent a gall- bladder operation and removal of a kidney stone Oct. 8. This was his 13th day in the hos- pital. Word of the clearance for Johnson to quit the hospital came after he signed into law in his hospital room a bill to fight air pollution and require exhaust controls on all cars be- ginning with 1968 models.
