"18 DAYS OF DEBATE Plan Opponents Dominate House By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP) -- Opposition crities of the Canada Pension Plan again dominated the scene Tuesday as the Commons droned through the 18th day of repetitious debate on the plan this year. The contributory scheme was approved in principle last No- vember but opposition has stif- fened since then and there is no er how Jong the debate st, Creditiste Leader Real Caou- ette said compulsory contribu- tions to the pension plan amount to a new form of tax- ation. He said his 13-man group will vote against the federal bill on third reading and cam- paign in Quebec against the similar provincial pension plan. He called for $100 monthly flat-rate pensions at age 60 and for the payment of dividends to all Canadians on the basis of Social Credit monetary theories expounded by the late Maj. C. H, Douglas. Contributory pen- sions smacked of Communist regimentation. Terry Nugent (PC--Edmon- ton Strathcona) and A. B. Pat- terson (SC--Fraser Valley) also criticized the compulsory fea- ture of the plan. At several points, the Com- mons appeared ready to pass clause one of the bill -- the title --and move on to third reading stage, but each time a Credit- iste MP popped up to keep the debate going. Mr. Caouette's views were echoed by five of his followers. The Creditistes obtained a three - day suspension of the when they complained that the French translation of the Sen- ate - Commons pension commit- tee report was not available, A crash translation was finished Monday. The government is anxious to pass the pension plan and the \stalled opting - out bill shortly so that the record-long session can be prorogued and a new one opened immediately after- ward. Tuesday was the 240th sitting of the current session, longer than the previous record session by 66 days. The opening of a new session would permit the government to unveil new legislation in the throne speech and the budget, George Chatterton (PC -- Esquimalt - Saanich) said small businessmen will suffer under the government plan, since they will be forced to contribute 1,8 per cent of the annual in- come of each employee. Steve Otto (L -- York East) jsaid the plan is portable and jwill increase productivity. Dis- |satisfied employees no longer would be tied to their jobs by private pension plans; they would switch to jobs more to |their liking and produce more. | He .also predicted that the {government plan will stimulate ithe private life insurance and 'pension businesses.

Premier Lesage said the committee would submit its findings to a joint committee of the assembly and the legislative council, the province's upper house. The premier said outside the house later the committee would be formed within 10 days, Today, a bill changing the name of the attorney-general's department to the department of justice is to receive first reading.

Mr. Drury, in the same hotel on a different matter, told a later press conference Mr. Lov-| eridge appears to have a bssic misunderstanding of the aims of the scheme. He said that in studying the plan it is necessary to bear in mind it will mean a substantial increase in car production in Canada--"and this will mean a very substantial increase in jobs." Basically, the plan provides for duty-free exchanges of cars and original parts on the manu- facturers' level, subject to meet- ing certain cost and manufac- J. D.

(AP)-- Clouds, wind and a threat of snow descended on Mount Ken- nedy today as Senator Robert F. Kennedy, guided by expert mountaineers, prepared for his assault on the summit of the 13,900-foot peak. | It- was not believed the weather would endanger the success of the climb, but it did mean the New York Democra- tic senator might be pinned down at the base camp for a day or more after the descent. Kennedy has with him what is described as a furled black flag. Other members of the ex- pedition say no one has seen i! unfurled. It is believed Kennedy will place it at the summit as a memorial to his later brother, THE DAY IN OTTAWA By THE CANADIAN PRESS TUESDAY, March 23, 1965 The Commons returned to committee study of the sole remaining unpassed clause of the Canada Pension Plan. Creditiste Leader Caouette said his party will vote against the plan. The whole thing is just an- other device to get taxes from the people, he added. A. B. Patterson (SC--. Fraser Valley) said the com-'} pulsory aspect of the pension plan is repugnant. 2 Steve Otto (L--York East) predicted the plan would spur sales of private plans and life insurance, Terry Nugent_(PC--Edmon- ton Strathcona) said the pub- lic should be encouraged to invest in corporate stocks in- stead of the plan.

MeDivitt is to become the first U.S. astronaut to go at least partially out of his orbiting ship. Plans call for him to open his hatch and poke his head into space, However, some thought is being given to hav- ing him leave the craft on the end of a tether--just as cosmo- naut Alexei Leonoy did during a spectacular two-man Russian} shot last week.

But Dr. Nevada Missile Testing Tories Win Close Vote | LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit-| ain's Opposition Conservative} party today won a key byelec-} tion in eastern England, but) with a reduced percentage of] the vote in favor of the ruling) A former Conservative junior} minister, Peter Kirk, won the! parliamentary seat for Saffron Walden: with a margin of 3,493 votes over the Labor party can- didate. Former foreign secretary R. A. Butler, whose elevation to the House of Lords brought on the election, had a 4,955-vote lead in the general election five months ago. The Labor share of the poll rose to 39.6 from 37.4 per cent, to provide a boost for Prime Minister Wilson's Labor govern-| ment. The Liberal candidate came last and lost his £150 deposit because he failed to gain one- eighth of the total votes cast. Kirk, a 36-year-old undersec- retary of state for defence (army) in the Conservative ad- ministration ousted by Labor in October, now takes over the constituency Butler held for 35 years, Figures in the vote: Peter Kirk (Conservative) 18,851; Michael Cornish (Labor) 15,358; Frank Moore (Liberal) 4,626.

This was learned in an inter | view with Brig.-Gen. Delmar ra Crowson, director of the Atomic Energy Commission's division of military application. He also said that deep-drill- ing techniques developed for underground nuclear tests at Nevada and elsewhere have aj rich potential pay-off for peace- time industry, especially the oil and construction industries, Crowson said one of the ma- jor techniques developed for underground testing is the carv- ing out of huge subterranean "rooms," with tunnels radiatwng from them, much like spokes of a wheel. These rooms range up to 900 cubic yards in size. Nearly all air can be pumped out of large-diameter pipes in the rooms to create vacuum conditions. And in the rooms, weapons devices can be deton- ated--and intact weapons ex- posed to the detonation of others --under conditions simulating an altitude of up to 400,000 or 500,000 feet. At the Nevada test site, he indicated, drill holes leading down to such labyrinths of rooms and tunnels are of depths and diameters unheard of up to several years ago--4,700 fect deep and more than six. feet in diameter.

So are a number of explura- tory holes, one of which will be 13,670 feet deep--well over two miles. NDP Booklet Bothers MP OTTAWA (CP)--A Commons committee was ordered Tues- day to investigate a political pamphlet issued on behalf of the New Democratic Party that a Liberal MP charged is a re- flection on the integrity and im- partiality of Speaker Alan Mac- naughton. All parties supported. a mo- tion by John Munro (Hamilton East) to refer the matter to the privileges committee. Mr. Munro said the pamphlet, entitled Who Is Working for You?, was published by a po- litical action committee in Hamilton on behalf of the NDP.

SEVEN-DAY TRIP After McDivitt and White take their four-day flight, astronauts L. Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad are to make a seven- day flight which should provide available data on how man is affected by prolonged exposure to weightlessness. After that will come the vital rendezvous shot in which a two- man team will attempt to catch up and join with dnother orbit- ting satellite, This space dock- ing manoeuvre must be de- veloped before man ventures to the moon and planets. Six gemini rendezvous flights are planned. Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA associate administrator for manned space flight, said Gem- ini flights will occur at two to three-month intervals. He pre- dicted a total of 25 manned space shots from Cape Ken- nedy in the next four to five years, including the first Apollo manned lunar landings. He. said. that following the completion of Gemini, manned space flight emphasis will shift to earth orbit flights of the three - man Apollo moonship. He said these will begin in 1967.
