NDP Accused Of Mutilating Sofa TORONTO (CP) -- Allan Grossman, minister of reform institutions, told the Ontario) legislature Wednesday two New Democratic Party MPPs muti- lated a chesterfield at Guelph Reformatory Jast Friday dur- ing a search for some sort of contraband. : Charles Sanderson, superin- tendent at Guelph, wrote a let- ter to Mr. Grossman about the incident and the minister read it to the legislature. The letter said Fred Young (Yorkview) and James Ren- wick (Toronto Riverdale), pulled canvas from the frame of a chesterfield in a staff lounge "until it had .been stripped completely away, un- covering the entire bottom." Mr. Sanderson said the two MPPs searched the couch for 20 minutes and then exclaimed: "I'm glad we did not find it." They didn't ever explain what "it" was, the letter said. Mr. Sanderson wrote that the two men had not asked his per- mission to search the chester- field. Because of the members' visit, wrote Mr. Sanderson, he was asking for a transfer to less responsible duties. MET PRISONER Mr. Grossman also said Mr. Young had persuaded him to meet with a former Guelph prisoner a week ago to hear some charges relating to the reformatory. The minister said the ex-prisoner's charges had proved "highly distorted and of little consequence." Mr. Young tried to comment on Mr. Grossman's remarks but was ruled out of order. But later he issued a statement. That statement said the Clarke and that he claimed he them to staff members expect- ing money in return --but that he never got the money. Mr. Young aid he was con- vinced Clarke was telling the truth at least in part. In other developments Wed- nesday, NDP Leader Donald MacDonald accused the gov- ernment of defrauding the peo- ple of Ontario by carrying out lelaborate study of medical in- surance when it had already made its decision in 1962.

(CP)--The Queen plans to meet the Duchess of Windsor for the first time as a result of the Duke's eye oper- ations, thus breaking a 29-year silence between the British royal court and former Amer- ican divorcee Wallis Simpson for whom King Edward VIII gave up his throne in 1936. The Queen was to have vis- ited her ailing uncle today at the London Clinic, but a third major operation on his left eye performed Wednesday made it impossible for him to receive visitors. "This is not a casual meet- ing,"' a spokesman for Bucking- ham Palace said. 'It has been arranged that when the Queen goes to visit the Duke, the _, Duchess will be with him." The date of the meeting has not been fixed, but it is ex- pected within the next few days --when the 70-year-old former king's doctors decide he is well The Queen has met the Duke on several private occasions at Buckingham Palace since her accession in 1952, but a post- they could charge. had made leather goods in the} * institution and had distributed) ; on medical care are nearly the| / same as the Hagey report on)" issued two 7 weeks ago.

FAMILY COLDNESS After the Windsor's marriage in June, 1937, the Duchess dis- cribed the feeling of restraint as "'the coldness which had set- tled between him and his fam-| ily."" The Queen, however, is known to have a deep affection for her Uncle David. She was only 10 when. his abdication thrust her father, then Duke of| York, on to the thron: ing} George VI. Wednesday's operation in- volved tying a tiny strip of sili- con, an inch long, around the back of the eye to bring the detached retina closer to the outer layer of the eye so that the two could be "welded" to- gether again.

(AP)--Dr. Mar- tin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders are finding it increasingl; hard to control the restless teen-agers in their ranks. It has been apparent in re- cent days in Selma that many of the Negro students who have joined in right-to-vote demon- strations are dissatisfied with the progress of the struggle. There were muttered com- plaints from spokesmen from the St Non-violent Co-ord- inating Committee after King led about 2,000 Negroes across the Alabama River Bridge on the road to Montgomery and then turned back quietly when state troopers halted them. There was little doubt that' a compromise had been worked out by federal mediators and that the players in the civil rights drama had stuck closely in hospital for at least another 10 days. to the script.

PROTESTS GROW LOUDER The once - subdued protests grew louder after another at- tempted march, to the court- house in Selma, ended in a peaceful encounter with state troopers and city police only a few. yards from the church where it began. Hundreds of impatient young- sters, determined to put on a courthouse demonstration, made a break for the opposite t --(CP Wirephoto) troopers, tried that. From time to time some of} the more militant students have sneered at King behind his back or challenged reporters who suggested that the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner was the unquestioned leader of the civil rights campaign. Wednesday's rebellion sub- sided, momentarily at least, af- ter King agreed to a new kind of demonstration -- confronting the troopers and sheriff's depu- ties in an all-night vigil in the street. The teen-agers loved it. but no one actually end of the street near the church. Troopers cut them off while white and Negro clergy- men linked arms to form a wall between the surging teen-agers and the state police. 'We are not supposed to act like this,"' cried adult leaders. "Go back to the church. This is no way to do things. It will only cause trouble."'
