Left to right are sister Bar- bara, 13, Danie! Truscott, Steven's 48-year-old father, brother Bill, 16, and Mrs. Truscott. Missing also is Steven's oldest brother, 22- year-old Ken, who lives in Montreal. WOULD CURB "W ARFARE" Inter- Union Plan Backed WINNIPEG (CP)--The first of three major issues facing the Canadian Labor Congress con- vention was resolved Tuesday with approval of a compromise plan for resolving inter-union warfare. It will pave the way for for- mal CLC approval of member- ship raids in which the raiding union can prove that the work- ers involved had legitimate beefs against the service pro- vided by their former organiza- tien. Worked out behind closed doors and endorsed in advance by the CLC's 21-member execu- tive council, it is primarily de- signed to prevent the takeover ef weak CLC unions in Quebec by the militant Confederation of National Trade Unions, bitter rival of the 1,286,000-member congress. Earlier in the day railway un- ion delegates charged that the federal cabinet is liable to give in to CNTU pressure and allow removal of Quebec groups from national bargaining units. Several speakers urged that the CLC threaten a national strike if the CNTU demands are accepted by the government. William Mahoney of the United Steelworkers of America said the cabinet may decide to appease the CNTU as a way to win extra seats in Quebec. This would take the heart and saul out of national bargaining strength. ADOPT RESOLUTION The 1,600 delegates adopted a resolution ealling on Ottawa to preserve national bargaining units. Still en the convention agenda, which runs until Friday after- tions dealing with the Quebec Federation of Labor's demands for increased autonomy and the application of the Seafarers' In- ternational Union of Canada for readmission to the central labor body. On the raiding procedure, Charles Brooks of the United Auto Workers, Windsor, Ont., said raiding should be discour- aged in many cases. Bill Stewart of the Vancouver Shipyards Workers local urged the convention to go on record opposing raiding in any form. A dozen other speakers ar- gued that there must be an im- proved method for raiding on a justified basis. Eamon Park of the Steel- workers' Toronto office called it another step in the move to- wards increased mergers. "You can't say to workers that they are the captives of any one organization simply be- cause they are members of the congress," he said. Larry Sefton of the Steelwork- ers, a member of the executive council, said the new procedure serves notice to all unions in the country that they had better "pull up their socks" and serv- OTTAWA AT - A - GLANCE PENNELL PROMISES "THOROUGH PROBE" Truscotts Case To Supreme Court OTTAWA (CP) -- A country- wide debate over the guilt or innocence of Steven Truscott has brought the seven-year-old murder case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Solicitor-General Pennell told the Commons Tuesday that Canada's highest court nas been asked to decide if there was a miscarriage of justice when Steven, then 14, was convicted of the strangling of 12-year-old Lynne Harper near Clinton, Ont., in 1959. The order-in-council referring the case to the Supreme Court asks the justices to consider the existing record -- transcript of cretion, may receive and con- sider." Opposition Leader Diefen- baker, who repeatedly has asked the government to con- sider granting Steven a new trial, asked why this hadn't been done. Mr. Pennell s2i4 new Supreme Court rules, which allow it to consider questions of facts as well as law, assure the case will be thoroughly probed. Mrs. Dan Truscott, who now lives in nearby Richmond, was in the Commons when the an- nouncement was made. She said she was happy about the reference but added she would the trial: and the case on ap- peal -- "and such further evi- have preferred a royal commis- sion investigation into the case. dence as the court, in its dis-) It would have more time and could hear more witnesses than the Supreme Court, she said. Steven's father, a warrant of- ficer with the' RCAF here, called Collins Bay medium se- curity prison when he heard the news. He wasn't allowed to pass it along to his son but was as- sured Steven would hear of it. A justice department official said the Supreme Court hear- ing could have three outcomes --a pardon, a new trial or af- firmation of the conviction. Debate over the Truscott case came after Mrs. Isabel Le- Bourdais of Toronto wrote a book raising doubts about Ste-| ven's guilt. Review By Supreme Court Inadequate - LeBourdais TORONTO (CP)--Author Isa- bel LeBourdais, whose book brought the Steven Truscott trial and conviction to public at- tention last month, says she re- grets the federal government's decision to refer the case for review to the Supreme Court of Canada instead of investigating it through a royal commission. "What the government has jannounced 'is not a full inquiry jinto all the facts which led to the conviction of Steven Trus- icott," she said in a statement! today. | "It is not even an inquiry in |the correct sense of the word. It is a reference to the Supreme Court to be heard as though it were an appeal by Steven Trus- cott under the present law re- \lating to appeals." 'Trial of Steven Truscott, sug- gests there has been a miscar- riage of justice and that he is innocent of the rape - murder Lynn Harper of Clinton, Ont. Truscott, now 21, has his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment and is cur- rently at Collins Bay Peniten- tiary, Kingston, Ont. Mrs, LeBourdais said Tues- |day's order-in-council sending |\the case to the Supreme Court "does not mean the same thing jto lawyers as it means .to the public.

In the final week of the 56-day session members agreed to ex- tend the loan capital of the Manitoba Development Fund, to permit the government to estab- lish Crown-owned industries and to pay for up io 50 per cent of mineral exploration costs. A total of 120 bills were pre- sented during the session and all but five were passed. Lt.- Gov. R. S. Bowles gave royal assent to 109 bills before he pro- rogued the house at 12:45 a.m. The session ended without a date for a provincial general election being set. Standing in the house was 36 Progressive Conservatives, 13 Liberals, five New Democrats, one Social Credit and two vacant. The session approved a rec- ord $298,200,000 budget with a $68,000 surplus. No new taxes were introduced and one--a five per cent tax on fuels used for heating residential dwellings-- was eliminated. The Manitoba Development |Fund's credit was extended to $50,000,000 from about $20,000,- 000. During the session the govern- ment announced a Swiss finan- cial firm plans a $45,000,000 forest products industry at The Pas.
