TRADE MINISTER ON 'HEAT SEAT' Trade Minister Robert H. Winters on the "hot seat' fields open - meeting ques- tions from delegates of the Young Liberal Federation national convention at Ot- tawa Friday. Four hundred young Liberals gathered here in an attempt to pro- duce a domestic-orented pol- icy guidline that will make the government fake notice. Defence Minister Hellyer takes the seat today. 'Needle' Invited By Pearson From Young Liberals Parley By DENNIS ORCHARD OTTAWA (CP) -- This week- end's convention of the Young Liberal Federation of Canada is welcome to use the needle on the Liberal party, Prime Min- ister Pearson said Friday night. ' He asked only that the feder- ation remember needles are for mending tears as well as punc- turing skin. The convention appeared well-launched in both uses of the needle even before Mr. Pearson spoke. Trade Minister Winters was treated easily in "hot - seat' questioning, but the first sit- tings of nine Young Liberal pol- icy commissions applied brass tacks to some party matters. About a dozen delegates dis- cussing party structure consid- ered a proposal to establish control of money and policy in regional "growth centres," wresting power from '"'an ap- pointive or ruling elite" of Lib- erals in Ottawa. Another group, tackling the question of politi- cal morality, heard some eye- brow-raising figures on party spending. delegates heard Mr. voice extreme concern for the conduct of parliamentary busi- ness, An all-party agreement to allot time for debates was of "utmost importance." HAS ONLY 29 DAYS The prime minister said that after the Commons resumes Tuesday, supply, budget and re- distribution debates will leave a maximum of only 29 days for 15 pieces of high-priority '"'social, financial, labor and economic" legislation July 1. The Com- mons might have to extend sit- tings into July and August.

During his hour in the "hot seat,' Mr. Winters was asked about his aspirations to Mr. Pearson's job. "There's no leadership con- test so I'm not a candidate," he replied. The trade minister had little enthusiasm for the Canada De- velopment Corporation as a government project. He. ac- knowledged a feeling "quite deep" among Western Canadi- ang that they were being ne glected by the 'Liberal party, but the feeling had '"'no real basis in fact."

He was allowed '1$2,000 bail and ordered to ap- pear for preliminary hearing next Thursday.

"Mr. Walker said that if he were able to resolve in his mind the doubts that he had about me he would be prepared to consider my involvement in a new program to be produced in Montreal which would involve my being moved to Montreal. But if for any reason it turned out that I was not to be in- volved in the Montreal project there would be no future per- manent relationship between me and the CBC."

"He also informed me that the reasons given were that I lacked loyalty to the top man- agement of the CBC and also that I allowed my personal opinions to show on the pro- gram."

I do know what this loyalty to It's Question Of Loyalty Seven Day Hosts Told top management is, and as to allowing my opinions to show on Seven Days, the answer is yes, I am guilty and I am very proud of being guilty."
