Mr. Stewart received 136 ser- vice votes, compared with 60 for Mr. Gillis. In Shefford, Liberal Louis-P. Neveau had been in third place, behind Conservative and Cred- itiste candidates on the strength of the civilian vote. With the service vote added, Mr. Neveau won the seat by 47 votes over Conservative Paul 0. Trepa- nier, the civilian - vote leader, and by 61 votes over Creditiste Gilbert Rondeau. On election night, Mr. Trep- anier led Mr. Rondeau by nine votes and Mr. Neveau by 13. The Shefford service vote went 78 Liberal, 18 Conserva- tive, 13 Creditiste and three to independent Liberal Lucien Pearson, As usual, the service vote was heavily pro-Liberal but not to the same extent as in 1963 when the Liberals received 70.5 per cent. This time they got 63.3 per cent compared with 40 per cent in the civilian vote. The Conservatives took 23.5 per cent of the service vote the civilian vote.

The Liberals picked up two seats in 1963 on the service vote, but lost one of them on a judicial recount. They also picked up two seats in 1962 but lost one of them when irregu- larities were found in the serv- ice vote. A total of 79,146 servicemen, their wives and veterans in hos- pitals cast ballots out of 122,614 eligible. This was a turnout of 64.5 per cent, compared with a civilian turnout of about 74 per|* cent, Chief Electoral Officer Nel- son Castonguay sent telegrams to all returning officers at 8 a.m. EST today reporting to each the votes cast for candi- dates by servicemen, who voted during the week before the Nov. 8 voting in Canada.

The cruise ship Bahama Star radioed that she was en route to Nassau with 360 survivors. The Finnish motorship Finn- pulp rescued 90 others, and U.S. coast guard helicopters flew 12 badly-burned persons to Nas- sau. A spokesman for Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc., owner of the Bahama Star, said the re- maining 94 persons listed as being aboard the Yarmouth Castle were presumed lost. "We have searched the area and we have found no more," the Bahama Star reported. At least 13 Canadians were on a partial passenger list is- sued in Miami, Fla. There was no immediate word as to their safety. They were: Murray and Stella Bell of Burlington, Ont. Simone Belyea of Montreal. Irene Langyel of Flin Flon, 'an.
