MONTREAL (CP)--A bandit gang burst into an import shed at Montreal International Air- port Monday with efficiency- plus dispatch and trucked away nearly $100,000 in gold bullion and other valuables. The shed, about a quarter of a mile west of the main. ter- minal building, was manned but not under armed guard. The robbery target, was Air Canada, which leases space in the shed. Five armed men struck at 3:30 a.m, and were on their way within half-an hour with 204 pounds of gold bullion worth $81,000, gold coins worth $10,- 000 and quantities of watches and narcotic - type drugs.

At present there is no, OTTAWA (CP) Radical changes in Parliament's work- ing schedule were proposed to the Commons Monday to en- sure MPs a week in their con- stituencies for every four weeks in the capital through most of the session. Under a setup suggested by the Commons special proced- ures committee, most of Parlia- ment's detailed study of the gov- ernment's multi-billion dollar spending program would be made by nine committees. Parliament would adjourn two weeks in every five to allow half the MPs to work on spend- in five of the committees the half po home fixed time limit. } 3. The nine standing commit- tees should have a maximum of 30 and minimum of 15 MPs. Some committees now have as many as 60 members. WANT ALTERNATES 4. Appointment of alternate members should be made when the committees are set up. Changes in committee member- ship now have to be made by separate motion in the Com- mons, 5, Each MP should be a mem- ber of at least one of the nine standing committees and a member of one of six other com- mittees. The proposed nine standing this way: 1. Agriculture, forestry and committees would be grouped in| *P¢ powers of the law approved by Parliament. The committee's report said Parliament's effectiveness would be improved if the House adjourns for certain periods during which committees would be able to meet for a week at a time. | Commons work would be ex- pedited and "it is probable greater. public attention would be directed towards committee activities." MPs should be able "to attend to constituency busi- ness in their ridings for a week at a time." The first two-week break should come after the finance minister tables the book 'of nding estimates, It was ex- plained Jater at a press confer- ence that this would mean com- work, manned by the MPs who had made their constituency visit, Attendance would be required| at the committee meetings, en- forced as it is now in the Com- mons--a $120-a-day penalty for absences beyond 21 days as re- ported by the MP himself. The procedures committee recommendations were intro- duced in the commons by H. A. Olson (SC -- Medicine Hat), chairman of an all - party sub- committee on Parliament's com- mittee structure. WILL ASK APPROVAL Mr. Olson gave notice that he proposes to ask the Commons to endorse the recommendations some time after next Wednes- day. He would give no indica- tion when that will be. Among the major recom- mendations in the report: 1, The main spending esti- mates to be automatically sent to the nine committees. These now are usually considered in detail by the Commons al- though sometimes a department or two goes to a committee for detailed examination at the gov- ernment's request. rural development, 2. Citizenship, and legal affairs. 3. Cultural affairs. 4. External affairs and de- fence. 5. Finance, trade and eco- jnomic affairs. 6. Health, welfare and veter- ans affairs. 7. Labor, industry and urban development. 8. Natural resources. 9. Transport and communica- tions. | There would be six other jcommittees -- privileges and elections; procedure and organ- ization; public accounts; Crown corporations; delegated legisla- tion; private bills. WOULD BE 'WATCHDOG' The proposed committee on delegated legislation would be a "watchdog" committee charged with reporting to Par- liament any tendency of the cabinet to exceed its authority.

DISCUSS COUNSEL | Mr. Olson told a press con-| ference that the subcommittee| discussed the question of provid- ing a counsel for the various committees 'but had made no specific recommendation on the question. However, he noted that other reports sent to the Commons recommended streng-| thening the committees staff. Many of the 'recommenda- tions, if accepted by the Com- mons, will require extensive changes to the Commons rules and, in same cases, legislation. For that reason the committee proposes that it- be kept alive to prepare the required changes.

"It seems to be the firmly held belief of Mr. Wilson that British newspapers should draw their information only from the British government," says the Conservative Evening Stand- ard. The Standard, one of the pil- lars of the newspaper empire founded by the late Canadian- born Lord Beaverbrook, said: "There never has been such a concerted effort by a govern- ment to manage news." "No prime minister has made greater efforts to secure favor- than Mr. Wilson."

His state- }ment is, naturally, accepted." But the newspaper says Wil- son has been evasive on the topic and the impression was widely reported in various quarters.

Judge Bennett also said he was not authorized to rule on a contempt of court motion involvy- ing the Orillia. Packet and Times because it was not in his jurisdiction. Mr. Cramp's defence coun- sel, Gerrard Kelly of Orillia, askell Judge Bennett to quash the case and also cite the news- paper for contempt.

Most British newspapeérs sup- port the Conservative Party but political commentators have credited Wilson, 48, with the ability to establish a certain comradeship with working re- porters. In this, as in other matters, he was said to be following the techniques of the late President Kennedy, who took a lively and intelligent interest in what was written about him.
