The bill introduced Thursday by Attorney-General Cass would allow persons to be detained in jail indefinitely without trial. Opposition Leader Farquhar Oliver said never in his 38 years in the House had a bill aroused such concern and at ger. Premier Robarts and Mr. Ol- iver both tried to rise before the formal business of the House be- gan--Mr. Robarts to announce the police bill would be recon- sidered, and Mr. Oliver to de- mand that the government kill the legislation At one point when the Lib- eral leader refused to yield the floor to the premier at the Speaker's request, the sergeant- at-arms arose from his chair, walked to the Liberal benches and asked Mr, Oliver to heed the Speaker.

How- ever, Mr. Cass entered the House shortly thereafter.

'"T could never support these infringements on the rights of citizens. We need something of this type but it will definitely have to be amended. "The backbenchers are strongly opposed at the present time." Mr. Robarts said the police bill would go to the legislation committee on 'legal bills for thorough discussion and exam- ination. Mr. Cass Thursday told re- porters the bill would go only to the committee of the whole House, The apparent difference prompted Farquhar. Oliver to ask Mr. Robarts: "Is this cab- inet solidarity?

Mr. Robarts said he wanted the measure "most thoroughly discussed" in committee. He wanted it to receive "close scrutiny."
