The outcome had been pre- dicted for weeks, but there was an audible sigh through the high - ceilinged chamber when Clerk Leon Raymond announced the tally.

The union spokesman said that the negotiating commit- tees talks on the master agreement, which covers the 23,575 workers in five Ontario centres, were unex- pectedly interrupted by the local issue. "The talks carried on yes- terday," he said, "and re- sumed today.

Burnham said he expected to get his government fully in ac- tion by the end of the week. The new premier's People's National Congress, (PNC) party won slightly more than 40 per cent of the vote in the Dec. 7 Although Jagan's party polled the biggest vote, a new system of proportional representation denied him a majority in the assembly. Jagan bucked tradi- tion, however, by refusing to resign. His name is not immediately available. The deceased, an employee of Cobourg Construction Ltd., was working with a crew installing a 30-inch watermain on Phillip Murray avenue and was at the bottom of the eight-foot. deep trench when the north side col- lapsed. . He was buried by earth from the wall, and more earth from the excavation which had been piled beside the trench. Co-workers, about seven or eight according to one of them, leaped into the ditch and dug him out immediately. Coroner Dr. J. A.

He has been promised the support of Peter D'Aguiar's ultra-conserv- ative United Force, which won seven seats in the National As- sembly. With those seven and his own party's 22, Burnham will have a majority of five over Jagan's People's Progressive Party. PARIS (CP)--The NATO min- isterial council met here today at the opening of a three-day session, its first since the down- fall of Soviet Premier Khrush- chey and Communist China's first atomic test. A crisis over the U.S. propo- sals for a NATO nuclear multi- lateral force (MLF) appeared to have been averted. Informed sources said the NATO minis- ters agreed to discuss the nu- clear problem of the entire 15- member alliance at a separate conference early next year However, the French were un- derstood to have repeated their strong opposition to both the MLF and the alternative propo- sals made by Britain for a broader, Atlantic Nuclear Force (ANF). The nuclear integration of the alliance was expected to be dis- cussed today at a separate meeting of the American, Brit- ish and West German foreign ministers. Informed sources said the three men would also cover "related problems" in their talk at the British dele- gation's offices at NATO head- quarters. The major areas of discussion in the council meetings were ex- pected to be a review of East- West relations in the wake of the changes in Russia's leader- ship and of China's first atomic explosion Other subjects to. be discussed cin the conference included: 1, The situation in The Congo and in other countries. 2. Relations between Greece and Turkey, strained over the Cyprus dispute. Both are NATO members 3. The war in South Viet Nam to quell the Communist Viet Cong, 4. A report from the supreme allied. commander in Europe, U.S. Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, on the alliance's military. readi- ness. Informants said that Canada urged its NATO partners to launch a searching review of NATO objectives It also asked that any further bargaining on a nuclear force be held within the framework of NATO and not through some separate body that could bypass France and other dissenters. External Affairs Minister Paul Martin was reported to have given Canada's position as three - day NATO ministerial conference began behind closed doors with a discussion of world issues and NATO political prob- lems, underdeveloped There was widespread recog- nition within the. alliance that East-West tensions have eased, although there still is some question what direction the for- eign policy of the new Soviet leadership will take. As the meeting opened, fears that unyielding positions on the shape of a nuclear force might lead to a clash within the alli- ance virtually vanished. The threat of a NATO crisis had re- ceded, with the day of 'nuclear decision-making postponed, pos- sibly until early in the new year. f ASSURES FRANCE The United States assured France on the evé of the con- ference that it had no intention of isolating France from any future Atlantic nuclear force. U.S. State Secretary Dean Rusk 'also informed French President de Gaulle that the door would always be open to France to join any nuclear force that may emerge. Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Wal- ker and French Foreign Minis- ter Maurice Couve de Murville agreed in principle that Prime Minister Harold Wilson and de Gaulle should meet but, they did not decide on a time or place, B-r-r In Prairies WINNIPEG (CP) -- Blizzards raged over the western Prairies UAW Rejects Conciliation |today with high winds and light |snow added to the coldest snap TORONTO (CP) -- A repre- of the winter. sentative of the United Auto| The storm. was expected to Workers (CLC) said Monday|move to near Winnipeg by late the union has requested that no /tonight. conciliation board be set up in| Winds of 30 to 50 miles an connection with its contract dis-| hour and temperatures ranging pute' with Massey - Ferguson|from 19 to 35 below were ex- Limited because "'it delays the|perienced on the western Prai- asses by bargaining process." |ries.
