High-40, Low-38, TWENTY-SIX: PAGES Plebiscite Voted Down In Commons OTTAWA (CP)--Progressive Conservative MPs have told the government they' keep the flag debate going until Prime Minister Pearson and members of his cabinet put their~ views! on the Commons record. A succession of Conservative speakers Thursday evening hammered away at that theme as debate resumed on a the final vote on the flag might come in the Commons today. However, one Conservative spokesman said his party is prepared to put up between 50 and 90 MPs to carry on the |debate, After the Conservative mo- tion for a plebiscite had been rejected, Mr. Pearson asked whether the Commons was|§ special committee's recommen-|'eady to vote on the committee dation that a single red maple/|Teport.

The Conservatives argued that neither Mr, Pearson nor any of his cabinet have spoken on the flag since last summer. At that time,' they said, the government benches were chor- using. the beauty of the three- leaf design, since scuttled by the flag committee. Earlier the Commons, by a yote of 153 to 82, ended a nine- day debate on a Conservative motion to hold a plebiscite dur- ing the next federal election to allow the Canadian people to decide the new flag. The Commons divided on the Conservative demand after Op- position Leader Diefenbaker, making what he called his final plea, said that a maple leaf banner could divide the nation. VOTE WITH PCs Voting with the Conservatives were two Social Credit and two New Democratic Party MPs. The government got support from seven Quebec Conserva- son, perhaps the House could come to a final decision. "We want to hear from the prime minister who has not spoken on this subject for six months," replied Gordon Churchill, Conservative House leader. SHOULD SPEAK Robert Coates (PC -- Cum- berland) said later that many of the cabinet ministers also should speak on the question. There were numerous questions to be answered before the final vote, "We should know the reasons why the government thinks dif- ferently today about what is desirable in a flag design -- why its opinions are not the same as they were when the prime minister told us that the flag . . . should 'have three maple leaves on a white back- ground with blue borders." Mr. Coates said his party wouldn't let the matter come to a vote until the prime minister explained to the Commons why the government had changed its mind on the flag. Edward Nasserden (PC -- Rosthern), Frank Fane (PC -- Vegreville) and William H. A. Shomas (PC--Middlesex West) also asked that Mr. Pearson explain government policy on he pty ee OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson is to place particular stress on one of the admonitions in his letter to cab- inet ministers about ministerial conduct and conduct of their staffs. : The letter was sent to all ministers Nov. 30 in the wake of the government setting up a judicial inquiry into allega- tions of bribery by one minis- terial assistant and coercion by another. It was followed by a rash of publicity this week about furni- ture purchases without down payments by two members' of the cabinet.

The issue which has been facing the cabinet was whether to spend some $400,000,000 on production in Canada of 108 American Phantom jet fighter- 4| bombers. . Some cabinet ministers fav- Ajored such an outlay because it -\would spread more benefits "\through the Canadian aircraft 'jindustry.

"Equally, a staff member, like a minister, must not have a pecuniary interest that could even remotely conflict with the discharge of his public duty." In summary, Mr. Pearson was telling ministers and pub- lic servants that honesty and in- corruptibility must be backed up by conduct which could never give rise to any question j}of their honest and. incorrupti- bility.

Konstantin Belyak, chairman of the economic council of the Chernozem region of central Russia, made the unexpected attack during a parliamentary debate on the 1965 economic plan.

The American embassy said one of the nuns, identified only by her religious name Marie Antoinette, was believed to be a U.S. national. Word of their deaths was re- ceived when a mercenary col- umn reached: Stanleyville from its rescue mission in the Isangi area. The column brought out 42 white persons. The reports from the column Thursday said they had found 59 whites alive at Yangambi /and one at Isangi. There was no explanation here for the smaller figure or onfirmation of a government report that six European plan- tation workers in the area were found dead. The rescued whites were to be brought to Leopoldville.

(AP)-- The Bank of America, which re- voked permission to sell United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Christmas 'cards in its lobbies after a John Birch Society protest, is buying $1,000 worth of the cards to prove it won't submit to "outside: pres- sure."" Since last Tuesday's Birch protest, on the basis. that some of the benefits go to Communist countries, sales of the UNICEF cards have been _ reported "booming" in the bay area and on the peninsula. After the protest was deliv- ered by Dan King III of Pacific Grove, sectign leader of the Monterey chapter of the Birch Society, the bank's Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel branches ousted UNICEF volun- provements in seniority, fers, and other sections of the agreement. Local issues were reached earlier in the talks, held at a downtown Toronto hotel, for 6,275 GM employees at McKin- non Industries in St. Cathae rines, 1,150 men at GM's Wind- sor plant, and 1,000 workers at the Frigidaire plant in Scare borough. The master talks will determine a chief union de- mand for wage parity for Cana- dian workers with GM .em- ployees in the U.S, The union has estimated that the wage dif- ference ranges from 50 cents to more than $1 per hour in some cases, Union sources have said that a basis for the master contract talks was laid by the company Nov. 16 in a contract offer. Un- confirmed reports from Toronto have said that the company has offered a 2.8 per cent increase-- the same increase which the union obtained in the U.S-- which union officials say would not narrow the gap between the workers in both countries. 2-Ton Centaur Orbiting Earth CAPE KENNEDY, Fila.
