Helene in Mont- real, making it Canada's third fort with a historical guard. The garrisoning of the fort is part of a revival of public in- terest in the history of the Montreal district. (CP Photo) LONDON (AP)--A_ -workman cleaning the statue of Justice on top of London's Old Bailey criminal court found something amiss. . "Her scales are supposed to be even," said steeplejack Roy: Fawcett, "'but one is at least six inches lower than the other." Many Britons believe that it is not only the ornamental scales above the court that need adjusting. The country's courts and judges have come in for un- precedented and harsh criti- cism, "Ig British justice just?" read a headline in the London Daily Sketch. The article that fol- * \lowed claimed it was not al- | |ways 80. This wholesale examination of British justice has its beginning in the rash of spy cases and sex scandals. SCRUTINIZE AGENCIES The behavior of government ministers, the aristocracy, the press, the courts, the police-- all have come under the micro- scope of public scrutiny. Britain's lawyers are particu- larly concerned at what they consider the most damaging as- pect of the whole business--the growing lack of public confi- dence in the country's courts and police, The first cracks in the edi- fice appeared during the spate of spy trials that began in 196t. Judges handed down sen- tences of staggering severity. Goal Of Perfect Wheat Vision Of Scientists OTTAWA (CP)--The vision of, a perfect wheat--golden, plump, chock-full of protein, laden wi kernels and resis'ant to insects, disease or climatic hazards-- may dance in front of some Ca- nadian scientists. But few really have any illusions that the goal is near, or ever will be. Yet the quest for improve- ments leaves few possibilities untried A new American winter wheat with astounding yields has been tried and found wanting. Tests have been made with @ wheat species bearing multi- ple heads rather than a single erland of much of the wheat that has gone into Canadian re- search and actual commercial production, also did work with this variety. Agriculture Minister Hays, fresh from an 18-day visit to Europe, announced plans to test here a > sadananes Soviet win- ter wheat. He also reported 'that Soviet scientists, using Canadian - de- veloped Selkirk as one parent, had fashioned another new vari- ety possibly higher in protein-- the essential milling quality-- than ever before. That also will be tested here. @ike.

Indeed, he went even further and said it was time also to extend official con- tacts with the world's non-Chris- tian faiths, His plea for an explana:ion of old truths in modern language reflects also similar calls by Pope John. But the big surprise was his announcement on the curia, the 12 sacred congregations each under a cardinal, which is roughly equivalent to the cabi- Pees ; '4 powerful in its control of the church throughout the world. ce . ty <P bigs é lt sideration was taken as a vic- tory for the progressives. The revised edition will be the first item of business before the new council session and most Pope's state- ment as an indication he in- tends to come down hard on the er of the growing progressive wing. The main aim of those who press for reform is greater "de- centralization" of he _ curia velop new varieties, supple- menting or replacing those al- ready in use on the Prairies or in Ontario. WHY GO ON? Canadian hard spring wheat is already a premium product and Canadian wheat breeders have an unequalled record. Why continue with research then when, in any good year, there is a chance that wheat production will exceed prospec. tive sales? Two main answers emerge in talks with the men involved-- those at the genetics and plant breeding research institute of Double agent George Blake, for instance, drew 42 years in pri- son--a total achieved by adding together sentences on a number of charges, though this practice had previous by an appeals court. Then came the case of Wil- liam John Vassall, a homosex- ual admiralty clerk who spied for the Russians. Names began to fly and Prime Minister Mac- millan set up the Radcliffe tri- bunal to find out if anyone was to blame in high places. STUDY ARMS REGINA (CP)--A program to educate youths in the handling of firearms and sa'e hunting practices has had 5,000 volun- teer. students in the last four years, The program is spon- sored by local service clubs and branches of the Saskatche- wan Fish and Game League, under the administration of the wildlife branch of the natural resources department, the federal agriculture depart- ment in Ottawa and others at experimental stations across the country.

An example was the crash program to develop the Selkirk variety for Western Canada to meet the threat of a new strain of rust called 15B, a fungus propagated by wind- blown spores similar to other leaf and stem rusts, The other is the desire to give Canadian farmers, as business- men, the best toois--and great est variety of tools--in a com- and) petitive world.

The development work is usu- lee lengthy, sometimes frus- 'atin; pony 10 years ago federal scientists had developed a new winter wheat variety for On- tario when an American variety called Genosee appeared.

Crticism of the courts flared again when party girl Christine Keeler became the central fig- ure in the case of West Indian jazz singer Aloysius (Lucky) Gordon. Miss Keeler gave evi- dence and Gordon was con- vicied of beating her and was jailed for three years, But the West Indian claimed he had been 'framed, and won an ap- peal. CAUSES STORM What caused a storm of criti- cism was the way in which the successful appeal was handled. Britain's Court of Criminal Ap- peal disposed of it in nine min- utes with no reason given, apart|' from the fact that the tran- script of a tape recording by Miss. Keeler had something to do with it, Newspapers and lawyers im- mediately denounced the air of secrecy surrounding the deci- all, to the conduct of the police in obtaining evidence against! him. Dame Rebecca West wrote that Ward was '"'killed by the law, 4s surely as if he had been the victim of capital punish- ment." CHANGED EVIDENCE In the case, call girl Ronna Ricardo changed "her evidence, claiming that the police had threatened her into making statements she said were not true, The question of police inter- rogation has come in for spec- ial attention, Said a Sunday Telegraph special article "How often British police methods lead to false confes- sions cannot be exactly known. But there have been quite a me number of recorded instances." The position was put even more strongly by writer Connor Walsh in The Daily Sketch: "The police often talk of de- taining someone for questioning.
