Dr. E. C. McCoy said in an| interview the law should be mo- dified to allow legal abortions for broad physical and mental| reasons and not only when the life of the mother is at stake. Legal abortions should be per mitted for rape victims where the charge has been proved in court. "There are many cases where doctors are convinced that wo- men should be aborted,' he said, "but they are powerless to act because of the law." Dr. McCoy suggested that a special committee, composed of lawyers, clergymen and doctors be set up to hear applications across Canada from doctors who believe their patients should have abortions. Meanwhile, members of Par- liament for the Vancouver area called for a federal investiga- tion to determine whether amendments to the Criminal Code are necessary Harold Winch (CCF--Vancou- ver East) urged thata com- bined legislative-medical com- mission study the problem. He said: "it is absolutely impossi- ble and inhuman to allow the present situation to continue whereby women by necessity have to risk their lives by ille- gal abortions. There must be a more sensible approach to it." John Drysdale (PC--Bunaby- Richmond) sted a royal commission or parliamentary committee investigation which could recommend amendments to the Criminal Code Erhart Regier (CCF -- Burn- aby-Coquitlam) said liberalizing abortion laws could lead to abuse but conditions as they now exist are '"'indefensible." Wil liam Payne (PC--Coast Capi- lane) said an investigation should be handled by the just ice department. John Taylor (PC--Vancouver Burrard) said "we've backed awav from the abortion problem too long--it's time we took it out of the back alleys and into the open." Dr. Pat MecGeer, associate professor in neuro logical re. search at the University of B.C said he thinks broadening legis lation will come eventually "Every doctor sees too much of the tragic consequences of mishandled abortions . I think if the men were the ones who were taking the abortion, the law would been broadened long ago." Prof. Michael Wheeler of the UBC School of Social Work said induced abortion is "no more suitable a subject for the Crim- inal Code than suicide, contra- ception or voluntary sterlization all of which are dealt h by the code, and in all cases the law is inoperable and not re spected." risks have In Ottawa, justice department STATELY RUIN Long in ruins, the 12th-centur: Dryburgh Abbey -on the Tweed River in Scotland contains the tomb of Sir Walter Scott. {any person or organization sub-| mitted to the government a de- tailed case for a change in the] CAN EMPLOY Army Survival Plan Needs 150,000 People By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--The army's {plan for national survival, ap- proved by the government, calls for a rescue force of 150,000 per- sons--two-thirds of them civil- fan volunteers--to take care of 16 target cities in Canada. The army's object is to form 210 mobile rescue columns each comprising 120 soldiers--regul- ars or militiamen--and 380 civil sons, including women, will be required for each column in a support role. An army paper on the plan : jroncindes: "A careful analysis of the res- cue problem has indicated that without the provision of an effi- cient means of employing civil- ian volunteers in large numbers and an expansion of the militia the army can rescue only a small proportion of those need- dq |ing rescue." { The civilian volunteer factor 4 lin 'national survival is believed one of the key points in the ca- # binet's current review of Can ada's defence position. APPROVE INCREASE The government has approved | i lan increase in the 42,000-mem-| ber militia but the size of the in- crease will not be known until army commands across Canada have surveyed the situation The aim is to establish new militia units in towns and vil- lages outside main target areas. They would be the core of the mobile rescue columns. Target areas are: St. John's, Nfld., Halifax, Saint John, N.B., Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, {Toronto Hamilton, London, Ni- agara Falls, Windsor, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria Target area headquarters will be established upwind--because of downwind fallout -- 20 to 40 miles from each of these target areas. Sites for already have been picked These headquarters and their subordinate sector headquarters would control re - entry opera- tions into damaged areas The army calculates that 20 per cent of all males between 16 and 60 living in a doughnut- | shaped area between 20 and 100 miles from target areas would| be available for rescue opera-| in-|tions--without compulsion. This stance in recent years where Would exclude those living in| the downwind area from the tar- t into the air and became im- bedded in the ceiling.

The government could compel © persons to serve in such a role --or any other--only if the War Measures Act were proclaimed. The army says rescue opera- to be effective, must be undertaken immediately and be completed within 48 hours.

The case has been set down for the fall sittings of the On- tario Supreme Court starting Sept. 5 but The Globe and Mail | before that could appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada Mr. Boland, who has argued his own case through more than three years of litigation, was de- feated as Independent Conserva- tive candidate in Toronto Park-| dale. He alleges an editorial in|* The Globe and Mail, criticizing | his campaigning, libelled and caused a substantial redu | tion in the number of votes cast for him. At the first trial in 1958, Mr, Justice W. F. Spence of the On- tario Supreme Court ordered dismissal on grounds that the editorial was written 'on an oc- casion of qualified privilege" {and there was no evidence of Imalice to go before a jury. The Ontario Court of Appeal then directed a new trial on the |ground that there was evidence [of express malice that should [have been left to a jury. {APPEAL UPHELD | This ruling was appealed by |the newspaper to the Supreme {Court of Canada, which in Jan- {uary, 1960 upheld the Ontario {Appeal Court judgment. The Supreme Court ruled in effect that an election campaign does these persons | not give rise to an occasion of during; without prior training for a 48-|qualified privilege. was then] 1960, Mr.!

READY TO HELP study has also shown that nteers in large numbers have always converged on the disaster area (rom outside, both n peace and war, ready to as- sist in rescue operations. "It has been proved time and again that if the authorities adopt a negative attitude tow- ard the convergers and simply try to disperse them, their ef- forts will be unsuccessful. "If, however, the authorities adopt a positive attitude toward the convergers and organize them and put them to work, a great deal of useful work can be accomplished in a short time.' Justice E. G, Moorhouse in On tario Supreme Court dismissed the case, accepting The Globe and Mail's defence of fair com- ment on a matter of public in- terest Two months ago that dismis- sal was thrown out and a new trial ordered in a majority judg- ment of Court of Appeal deliv- ered by Mr. Justice W. F. Schroeder and concurred in by Mr, Justice K. G. Morden. CITE MAIN ISSUE Words Mr. Boland complained of in The Globe and Mail ed- itorial were, that '"McCarthy- istyle, he put forward an ex-Com- munist in an attempt to show the Liberals are 'soft on com- The majority judg- ment said it was on the as- sumed truth that Pat Walsh, who spoke at Mr. Boland's cam- paign meeting: is an ex-Com- munist that The Globe and Mail based its editorial comment. This was the predominane is- sue "The onus was cast upon the defendant (the newspaper) to prove its truth as the very foundation for its defence of fair comment," said Mr. Justice Schroeder's judgment, on the ex - Communist. "The learned trial judge assumed the right to decide that issue himself, al- though it was a function which clearly fell exclusively within the province of the jury." A dissenting minority judg- ment by Chief Justice Dana Porter expressed the view that Mr. Justice Moorhouse's dismis- sal of the case did not cause any '"'substantial wrong or mis- carriage of justice."
