The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in an 8-to-1 opinion that there was no miscarriage of jus- tice in the trial of Truscott for the sex slaying of Lynne Harper, 12, near Clinton, Ont. Eight of the nine justices of the high court, acting on a spe- cial referral to the court by the cabinet, agreed that if they had heard an appeal in the case they would have rejected it and confirmed the conviction. Mr. Justice Emmett Hall dis- sented. The court's majority opinion now goes back to the federal cabinet. If it abides by the de- cision, as is expected, Truscott, now 22, will remain in prison under a. sentence of life im- prisonment. The death sentence ordered for him after his conviction was commuted. Truscott was arrested after the Harper girl was sexually attacked and strangled. Her body was found in a woodlot June 11, 1959, near the RCAF station at Clinton, Ont., where her parents and Truscott's were stationed. The Crown contended she was killed June 9, an evening when she was seen in Truscott's com- pany.

The issue developed from @ decision by Mr. Justice Par- ker, the hearing's commis- sioner, not to allow Dr. Shul- man to introduce in evidence a note from a Toronto coroner dealing with an inquest con- ducted at Alliston, Ont., in, 1965.

The rate was cut Jan. 26 from seven to 6% per cent and in March it was reduced another half per cent to six per cent.

Throughout .a rain-lashed day Wednesday, yisitors continued to pour through the gates of Canada's world's fair which opened with pomp and cere- mony last Thursday? By midnight 127,786 had passed through the turnstiles for a cumulative total of 1,846,- 128. There was a chance visitor No. 2,000,000 would enter the fair tonight. There had been plans for hon- oring the 1,000,000th visitor but crowds surged through the gates so fast last weekend that the count, hampered by 'the broken-down electronic system, jumped from 750,000 to 1,250,000 before 'anyone could pinpoint the vital number. But with the computers back in shape, No, 2,000,000 may be more easily spotted-and duly honored, There was talk of taking the milestone visitor on a tour of the site by one of the pretty hostesses in what has come to be known as' a "Cushman" named after the agency renting these smaller-than - jeep - sized 'vehicles which rush about the fairgrounds bearing photograph- ers and radio men whose equip- ment is too heavy to carry by hand.

A total of 76 children were lost-and found - during the day and the public relations depart- ment also reported that four adults were lost and found. This referred to couples separated in the heavy crowds, Occasionally, the great elec- tric signs at the fair may flash something like 'Mrs. Jones' husband can be found at the French pavilion."
