PARIS TRAGEDY Jean Plerre Sachen, 12, sobs on his father's chest in Gonesse, a Paris suburb, Thursday, after police said the father, Dominique Sachen, 38, told Jean-Pierre he had killed his wife, Josette, the boy's mother, when she told him she would leave him. Sachen surrendered voluntar- ily to the Gonesse police. --(AP Wirephoto) Reporters Jailed Causing LONDON (CP)--The convic- tion on contempt charges of two journalists for refusing to dis- close the sources of their im formation may disrupt the whole unwritten law of Fleet Street. The case, hitting at the heart of Britain's newspaper world, arose out of statements the two wrote at the time of the arrest of William Vassall, the 38-year- old admiralty clerk sentenced to 18 years in prison for selling mavy secrets to Moscow. 1 In effect, the high court deci- sion Monday means journalists enjoy no special privileges and have no right in law to refuse to disclose their sources, even when the information is given in confidence. Both Brendan Mulholland of The Daily Mail, sentenced to six months, and Reginald Fos- ter of The Daily Sketch, three months, implied iri their stories that Vassall's homosexual tend- encies were obvious. Their sentences, for contempt of court, were suspended for five days, however, to permit the two to change their minds or to appeal. The court also im- plied that some remission ,of sentence would be justified if| the original source. came for- ward, CAUSES UPROAR A tremendous uproar broke in the press following the arrest of Vassall, an admitted homo- sexual and the latest in a list of spies discovered in recent years. Several papers suggested that it should have been obvious to admiralty authorities that he had homosexual tendencies and was living far beyond his £15- a-week salary in a smart Dol- phin Square flat. Thomas Galbraith, civil lord of the admiralty, resigned but insisted there were no obvious reasons why officials should have been suspicious, Then Prime Minister Mac- Changes Urged In Juvenile Delinquent Act OTTAWA (CP) -- Sweeping changes in the Juvenile Delin- quents Act have been fecom- mended by the Canadian Cor- rections Association, The association says that un- der present legislation no legal distinction is made between a youngster involved in a serious offence such as armed robbe and one involved in an infrac- tion of a bylaw such as riding a bicycle without a licence, The association says new leg- islation should do away with a situation that makes any young- ster a delinquent upon convic- Uproar millan ordered a tribunal hear- ing, with particular emphasis as to what extent Vassall's private affairs were common knowl- edge among his colleagues, Most journalists who testified were able to give the sources of their information but Mul- who told him that: Vassall was called "Auntie" in his own office and was a known homosexual; An admiralty typist had sug- gested Vassall could not possi- bly live as he did on his in- come; Vassall was sponsored by two senior admiralty officials, thus avoiding the strictest part of the security check, REFUSES TO ANSWER Foster, 58, had refustd to say who told him Vassall bought and wore women's clothes. The court noted that Vassall had subsequently admitted this in testimony. Before being sentenced, Fos- ter told the court: "There has word duty. With the greatest re- spect, I would like to say that we humble men have at least an equal access to the. same word. I would conceive it a dereliction of my duty if I did! anything to tarnish our long- cherished freedom of the press." holland, 29, refused whtn asked) been use im this court of the} OTTAWA (CP)--All four par- ties started rummaging through their campaign closets Thurs- day, searching for strategy and money and platforms, Party organizers met party leaders. Lights burned late in the Parliament Buildings as bul! sessions developed before the politicians headed home to their 'constituencies. The planning will continue in the weeks ahead and it may be late February before chosen routes to the April 8 election become known. This much seems clear so far: The campaign may be shorter, at least at the local level. Though the time between dissolution and election is just as long this year as last, few nominations have, been made. This contrasts with 1962 when an election was a foregone con- clusion for weeks and even months and slates were prac- tically filled. COSTS ABOUT THE SAME But it likely will be no less flamboyant. Although the 1062 campaign strained party treas- ures, and while there have been only eight months to recoup as against the normal four years between elections, early indica- tions are that spending will be just as heavy, The Liberal party, for one, has said its costs will be about the same, Thusday there were these de- velopments: Conservative MPs and senior party organizers met behind closed doors with Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker and many of his cabinet ministers, A cabinet meeting was scheduled today. Mr. Diefenbaker is due to ad- dress the Canadian and Empire Clubs in Toronto Monday night. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson worked at home in Ot- tawa on a major speech to be delivered to the party's na- tional council, meeting here Monday. He also speaks Satur- day to the Canadian University Liberal Federation, During the day he also conferred with party officials: T. C. Douglas, New Demo- cratic Party leader, spent the day in session with the NDP national executive. A party cau- cus will be held today. Mr. Douglas is working on speaking engagements and tentative plans call for Toronto addresses Feb. 13 and 15, Robert Thompson, Social Credit leader, held a three-hor meeting with Ontario and Que- bee party workers. He leaves here Saturday for Regina and preliminary discussions on the party's campaign in Ontario and the West. Mr. Thompson and Deputy Leader Real Caou- ette plan to open their Quebec campaign in Montreal on Feb. 24. OPPOSES NUCLEAR ARMS Mr, Caouette said in Montreal Thursday his party is opposed to Canadian forces having nu- clear arms. He was asked at a press con- ference for "a straight yes-or-no answer" to the question of whether a Social Credit govern- ment would equip Canadian forces with nuclear weapons. "T'll give you a straight an- swer," Mr. Caouette said, "It's is nothing complicated about our position in the matter." He said he will officially open his campaign for the April 8 federal election at a rally in Montreal's Atwater Market Feb, 24 to be attended by all French-speaking Social Credit candidates. Predicting that Social Credit will form the next government, he said 'we won't necessarily win a majority but we'll be the single strongest group in Par- liament." Social Credit would more than double its present Quebec strength of 26 seats and would win 14 seats in Alberta and four in New Brunswick. Lionel Chevrier, Liberal MP for Montreal Laurier, said if his party wins power in Ottawa April 8 it will demand a non- nuclear role for Canada, But he said Thursday at Montreal that Canada will first have to honor commitments made by the government to ac- cept nuclear arms, Mr. Chevrier said in an inter- OTTAWA (CP)--Conservative party officials have left little doubt of their confidence that the party has effectively closed its ranks for the April 8 election campaign, Yet their confidence, and the obvious show of unity from the party caucus, hasn't stilled speculation on the circum- stances and the nature of the rumored challenge earlier in the week to Prime Minister Diefen- baker's leadership. The full story probably won't be told for years, until dairies B.lof the principals become avail- able to the public. The story of the challenge, or of a feeling in some quarters that the party should seek a new leader, developed Tuesday with reports that a group of cabinet ministers was meeting to consider asking Mr. Diefen- baker to poll his full cabinet on the desirability of a change. Sources close to the situation insist there was nothing secret about the meeting, that the Group kept the prime minister informed through an intermedi- ary of their discussions. He re- mained at home, apparently working on the speech he was to deliver in the Commons later in the day during debate on So- cial Credit and Liberal mon- confidence motions that toppled his minority government Tues- day night. WAS FINE SPEECH The speech itself struck ob- servers as one of Mr. Diefen- baker's finest orator! efforts in years.

Low overnight, ~ Thursday Well-informed government of- ficials predict that the reserves will come through with no seri- ous problems. It's conceded that the heat of the campaign may _ generate some uncertainties t hat could affect the reserves of United States dollars and gold support- ing the Canadian dollar's pegged exchange value. But these, if they occur, are ex- pected to be temporary and limited in effect. There are both financial and political reasons for this view. The political reason stems from a report that the cabinet group which _ unsuccessfully challenged Prime Minister Dief- enbaker's leadership obta'ned assurances that his campaign wouldn't feature anti-American attacks. Other party leaders have stated clearly that they will shun any anti-American tone in their campaigns--a tone which could frighten off U.S. capital. SITUATION DIFFERENT But it is also pointed out that today's financial situation is far different from that of last year's election campaign. Then the dollar was pegged in mid- campaign at 9214 U.S. cents, the exchange reserves lost more than $300,000,000 and a crisis developed which brought on the June 24 austerity program. ' At Jan. 31 the foreign ex- change reserves stood at a rec- ord high of $2,662,500,000--more than $1,000,000,000 higher than at the start of last year's elec- tion campaign.

In a separate interview, Mr. Chevrier said the Liberals ex- pect difficulties in Quebec prov- inc. fact," he said. "The fight in Quebec is not against the Con- servatives but against Social Credit." Conservative party back- benchers had their say Thurs- day in shaping the govern- ment's campaign strategy. As far as the men and women backing him are concerned, it looks like a campaign lasting five or six weeks in which Mr, Diefenbaker will travel mostly by train, It's to be a grass roots appeal, emphasizing policies and ideas coming to the party brass from the rank-and-filers Little Doubt PC Unity Effective their support in the Commons) | votes, there is a strong feeling here that the real impact was on his own followers who saw in it indications that he was in fighting trim for a campaign. The situation was reported to be the dominant theme of a cau- cus meeting Wednesday of Con- servative MPs and_ scnators. When it was over, there were forthright public expressions of party solidarity from many cab- inet ministers. Trade Minister Hees, caucus chairman, said "there was a great victory spirit" and '"'the prime minister is the spirit of confidence." He labelled talk of a cabinet revolt against Mr. Diefenbaker's leadership as "one of the most unfounded and amusing stories heard in a long time." Senator Wallace McCutcheon, cabinet minister without port- folio, said the party is abso- lutely united and reports of a leadership challenge were "fan- tastic." Finance Minister Now- lan said the state of the party was 'never more excellent." ACCOUNTS VARY { Accounts of the scenes in the caucus vary. One informed source said that at the outset one cabinet minis- ter told the caucus he planned to resign, but withdrew from that step when the prime minis-|; ter gave an assurance that he would not conduct an anti- American election campaign. Other ministers said to be ready to resign--some accounts saic a many as 12--stayed their hands, Senator A. J. Brooks, veteran Conservative and former cab- inet minister who has never had a high reputation as an orator, is said to have made an emo- tional and effective appeal for unity. One source said that the prime minister, almost as soon as he arrived, called for and obtained individual pledges of loyalty from each cabinet min- ister and that some broke down as they gave it.

Maurice Landry, assistant di- rector of the National Capital Commission,, said bilingual maps are "completely imprac- tical." He told the surveyors' con- vention that all Canadian map» should be printed separately in English and French even if it costs more, Mr, Landry said bilingual maps become "'so oluttered up with names)' they are impos- sible to regd. This presented a major profiem to tourists. Attecpts had been made. in Canada to produce bilingual maps. Every attempt failed be- cause the map sheets became overloaded with names, confus- ing the person trying to reid them, he said in a panel dis- cussion. NEEDS GREAT CARE Mr. Landry said greater care should be taken in translating geographic names. An English jor French place name should INTERPRETING THE NEWS No Alternative To Market Plan By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer All the talk now is of a "breathing space" in Britain's battle to cope with the conse- quences of failure in Brussels. Early enthusiasm for an "'al- te:native' to membership in Common Market 'is evaporat- ing as it becomes clear just bow elusive any new policy will "The truth probably is that ministers just don't know what to do. There is no dramatic, cut-and-dried program availa- ble to replace the European so- lution on which so many hopes were pinned. Prime Minister Macmillan has been in touch with Com- monwealth prime ministers, but so far nobody except Sir Roy Welensky of the Rhodesian federation has shown any eager- ness for a round-table confer- ence to discuss what happenes next. British ministers may rue- fully reflect that Common- wealth colleagues occasionally show more interest in stopping Britain from doing something than from helping her to adjust to new economic circumstances. ENTHUSIASM LACKING Whitehall therefore finds it hard to work up much enthu-|f siasm for what Lord Beaver- plish, at least on a short-term basis. Entry into the Common Mar- ket, it was widely felt, would have provided a psychological lift for a lethargic nation, would have infected industry with a new dynamism and expansion- ist spirit, would have brought United States investment flood- ing into Britain, Instead, Albion is on its own, forced to deal with domestic economic difficulties so inter- nal measures, The experience of 18 post-war years, which have seen suc- cessive chancellors of the ex- chequer resorting to a series of temporary measures to deal with the complex economic problems of a nation not over- blessed with natural resources, hardly encourages the thought that any magic formula can be jfound oevrnight. The problems confronting the Conservative government there- fore remain formidable. About the only glimmer of light for he administration is the knowl- edge that the Labor opposition, engrossed in selecting a new leader, finds it hard to take full advantage of the Tory trou- bles.

He said Regina should not appear on French maps as "Cite de Regina" but as Re- gina, Lac Philippe in Quebec should not appear on English maps as Lake Philip. Bilingual publications also are bad, he said. There should be separate publications, THINKS TOO EXPENSIVE What sense was there in going to the expense of producing bi- lingual publications? Unless an individual was bilingual he could read only the one in his native language. Lt.-Col. L. M. Sebert, deputy director of the army's military survey, said most city maps in Canada are so out of date they would be useless in the event of a disaster. City maps for military re- quirements had to show the lo- cations of churches, schools, hospitals, roads, city halis, po- lice and fire stations and other key points. They also had to show the locations of services that might have to be shut down, such as power and gas pumping stations. The big problem in Canada is to get cities "to stand still while their picture is being' taken," "In the case of Toronto, we found that in the two years that it took from the taking of map- ping photography in 1960 until the maps are produced in 1963, the maps are and will be obsolescent at the date of print- ing and will have to be followed fairly shortly with a second edi- tion."
