PEACE MARCH TO OTTAWA BY 2,000 ENDS UP QUIETLY sy BRENDA LARGE OTTAWA (CP) -- A demon- stration against the war in Viet Nam ended quietly on Parlia- ment Hill Saturday despite fears that a scuffle in the crowd of The peace march, organized by the New Democratic Youth Organization, was termed "highly successful" although it was hampered by chilly temper- atures, a sound system that failed to work, and a small but stubborn group of counter-dem- onstrators. Most of the demonstrators were young people, but there was a bigger representation of adults, particularly from labor groups in Toronto, than has been seen at other peace dem- onstrations here. No representatives of the fed- eral government met with the marchers. They had intended to present. a brief to Prime Minis- ter Pearson, but he was in Que- bec City. The scuffle, which threatened to throw the large but mainly good-natured crowd out of con- tral, took place on the main steps leading to the Parliament Buildings. F Someone. in the crowd let loose what bystanders said was a small cylinder of compressed air. It went off with a loud hiss- ing noise, causing those close by to think it was a bomb. Then a shoving match developed be- tween about 10 peace demon- strators"and an equally small group of counter-demonstrators. Others from both sides moved in quickly to end the pushing and shouting. While the scuffle was going on, crowd control was compli- cated by the failure of the sound ™ sysiem. The sound system was later restored, but it made speaking difficult for MP Colin Cameron (NDP--Nanaimo - Cowichan-the Islands). Mr, Cameron said it was time somebody voiced the urfeasiness of "a great number of the Cana- dian people' about the war in t Nam. Whether we like it or not, American policy today is our policy." The marchers assembled about two blocks west of Parlia- ment Hill, formed a line six blocks long and walked through downtown streets to the Parlia- ment Buildings, chanting: "Withdraw U.S. troops." As they passed the American embassy en rouie iiey yeiied *Vietnam si, Yankees no." Across the. street, a- group of counter demonstrators screamed: 'Bomb Hanoi." Local police, RCMP and the Commons protective staff were out in full force, but were not called upon to maintain order. TORONTO (CP)--About 100 persons--most of them mem- bers of the United Electrical 'Workers (Ind.) -- picketed the United States consulate Satur- day to protest against United States policy in Viet Nam. The-union workers were tak- ing time off from a' convention. Mrs. Mary Staples, president of the Saekatchewan Voice af Women, said: "We are suffer- ing from remorse because our country is giving military sup- port to the war giant which is tearing at the vitals of our Viet- namese brothers and sisters." I. C. Nollet, CCF MLA for Cutknife, said: 'The man in the street is inoculated with indif- ference, although even selfishly, if not for moral or human rea- sons, he should worry about the Viet Nam war."

(AP Wirephoto) Cancer Drug Hailed By FRANK CAREY PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A sci- entist today reported develop-| ment of a Jekyll-and-Hyde type of cancer-fighting drug which apparently becomes evil only! when it hits cancer cells, It's a new and seemingly safer version of the cancer-at- tacking nitrogen-mustard drugs that are chemical cousins of skin - blistering poison gases used on First World War bat- tlefields. The new drug--so far used only in animals but with prom- ising results--has been dubbed a "'stingless mustard," in that it'attacks cancer cells like con- ventional mustards, but appar- ently lacks their unwanted "sting" for normal cells Dr. Zinon O. Papanastassiou | Anti- Queen Resolution | QUEBEC (CP) -- A resolu- tion that the Queen be removed from.the-Ganadian--eonstitution failed to gain passage Sunday night when time ran out at the founding convention of the Que- bee wing of the federal Liberal party. The most vehement opposition to the proposed resolution -- sponsored by the Quebec Union Student Liberals of Canada -- was provided by Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Prime Minister Pear- son's parliamentary secretary, who said such an-issue would "tear apart the country and the province." The first clause of the resolu- tion read: "It is resolved that the constitutional monarchy be abolished in Canada and that the governor - general be replaced by a president elected by a ma- jority of the Parliament, the president being alternately French- or English-speaking."'

But pending further tests he was only "'very cautiously optimis tic' about whether it will be useful against human malig- nancy.

But their use has: been limited be- cause they attack normal 'cells as well, and beyond certain dose levels cannot be safely em- ployed. SUCCESSOR TO PRESIDENT GURSEL Gen. Cevdet Sunay Turkish President ISTANBUL (AP) -- Turkey's parliament today declared. the office of president vacant and chose Gen. Cevdet Sunay, 65, to fill the post Sunay, a political moderate who resigned as chief of the armed forces general staff and retired from the army in antici- pation of his selection, replaces President Cemal Gursel, 70, who is gravely ill. He is the fifth president since Turkey became a republic in 1923, the fourth general to hold the post. Sunay was elected by secret ballot in a joint session of par- v | liament after parliament heard a medical report prepared by 38 doctors saying Gursel is men-| prison after an army revolt in 1960. The only other candidate for the presidency today was Altar- tally and physically incapable of sian Turkesh, 49, a stormy fig- resuming his duties. He is suf-| fering from arteriosclerosis and| mer colonel, he played a promi- thrombosis and has been in deep coma for 49-days after a series of strokes. He was brought to Istanbul Saturday from Wash-| ington, where he had been under treatment, after doctors said) there was no hope for his re-| covery. Gursel became presi- dent by succeeding Celal naegabocd who was ousted and sent to nent role in the 1960 army revo- lution that overturned Premier Adnan Menderes and now heads the Republican Peasants Nation party, a splinter right - wing group.
