AMOS, Que. (CP) -- Jacques Bouchard of Amos, president of the Quebec provincial executive of the Progressive Conserva- tive party, said Friday the party was "'tragically deceived" when it chose Leon Balcer as Quebec leader last year. Mr. Balcer announced in Ot- tawa Wednesday, that he was leaving the party to sit. in the Commons as an independent. This, Mr. Bouchard said in a prepared statement, '"'may have been a in: disguise."' Since Mr. Balcer was named Quebec leader in March, 1964, "he has given the impression that he was working to weaken and destroy the party in the province of Quebec." DIDN'T ATTEND "Three times since July, 1964, the executive met after making arrangements with Mr. Balcer to be present, but he never showed up, and never sent so much as a word of excuse. "The Quebec delegation chose him to express our point of view, our desires and our aspir- ations to the party caucus, He did not attend." Mr. Bouchard said the pro- vincial executive was scheduled to meet in Montreal Saturday, "but as the main purpose of the meeting was to discuss with Mr. Balcer his position in the party, I have adjourned it until a later date so that we can dis- cuss the situation coolly and de- cide what action to take in the light of the circumstances." despite Communist protests, So- viet MiGs roared a few feet feet over the meeting hall an shattered windows when they broke the sound barrier. The R had Monday that Western planes could not use certain altitudes in the air corridors because of the military manoeuvres, The Western powers rejected this and planes continued to fly at normal heights, although a number were buzzed by Soviet fighters.

For the first time since the Liberals took office two years ago, the four opposition parties joined forces in a formal con- fidence test to censure Prime Minister Pearson for "refusing to take action to eradicate wrongdoing in high and low places." The Progressive Conservative motion was defeated 106 to 93. The government was saved by the absence of 39 opposition MPs and the abstentions of two others. Many of the absentees are known to oppose a general election at this time. The Opposition is expected to introduce one or two more non- confidence issues when the throne speech debate resumes Monday. Only two other non-confidence motions have come closer than Friday's to toppling the Lib- eral government, which is six seats short of a clear majority. A motion criticizing the Lib- erals' pro-nuclear policy was LIBERALS STAY ALIVE IN CLOSE-SHAVE VOTE. Absences saved The Day For PM 1l-per-cent sales tax on build- ing materials and production machinery was rejected by eight votes Feb. 25, 1964. The Diefenbaker 'government was overthrown and forced to call an election after losing two tests of confidence by identical votes of 142 to 111 on the night of Feb. 5, 1963. Finance Minister Gordon will announce Monday the date of his next budget speech, which could be the signal for another election later this year. The Conservative censure motion, introduced Tuesday by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, was supported by 66 Conserva- tives, 11 Creditistes, 10 New eT and six Social Cred- ers. INDEPENDENTS OPPOSED The motion was opposed by 104 Liberals and two former Conservatives now sitting as independents, Leon Balcer (Trois-Rivieres) and Remi Paul (Berthier - Maskinonge - Dela- naudiere), Conspicuous by their absence were 28 Conservatives, eight New Democrats, three Social Credit. MPs .and two Credit- istes. H. A. Olson (SC -- Med- icine Hat) and Jean - Louis Frenette (SC -- Portneuf), did defeated by 11 votes May 21, 1963, and another blasting the Socred Motion' On the Liberal side, there were 23 absentees and Ralph Cowan (York - Humber) was 'ipaired, Speaker Alan Mac- Inaughton does not vote, except!' in a tie. Just before the close vote, a Social Credit non - confidence motion was disposed of easily in a voice vote because the 11- man group headed by Robert Thompson did not press for a roll call. Only three Social Credit MPs were in the House when the party's motion came up for a vote at 5:30 p.m. EST as sched- uled. Under the rules, at least five MPs must stand up to force a recorded vote. SEEK 'DEBT-FREE' MONEY There had been reports that the other three opposition part- ies were prepared to support the Social Credit motion, even though it called for use of "'debt- free money" from the Bank of Canada to boost family allow- ances and invest in public works and services, The only three Social Credit- ers who were in the House for the vote on their party's own motion were Guy Mar- coux (Quebec - Montmorency), (Maurice Cote (Chicoutimi) and Mr. Frenette. Mr. Thompson and four of his supporters wandered into the Commons later' while the division bells were ringing for the vote on the Diefenbaker motion.

St. Peter today and caught fire. At least. one of the yessels was still burning five hours later. There was no official report of casualties. Some unconfirmed reports said there were both deaths and injuries The freighters involved are the German-registered Transat- lantic and the Dutch-registered Hermes. Attempts by reporters to reach ships in the area by radio- phone were unsuccessful . be- cause of emergency communi- cations priorities. One telephone operator told a-reporter there were deaths but did not elabor- ale Doctors were reported § to have been ferried to both ves- sels by helicopter and boat. The Transatlantic was still burning. A report from a heli- coper-borne reporter from Mon- treal radio station CJAD said the fire appeared to be centred amidships.

Diefenbaker Brings Up Case Perjury Trial was expected to complete four months of public hearings to- day and start drafting a report to the government, A preliminary hearing has opened in St. Johns, Que., into the charges against Mr, Du- puis. Mr. Asselin has been sued in a civil action by the Mont- real uvhool board. Since most of the cases are before the courts, there were few references to them in the first four days of the throne speech debate this week. David Orlikow. (NDP -- Win- nipeg North) said Friday his party was disturbed by Mr. Pearson's handling of the scan- dal charges. There was '"'gen- eral disgust and discourage- ment in the nation," especially since Mr. Dupuis and Mr. As- selin stil] were in the Liberal caucus, DISTURBED BY RESPONSE "Weare much disturbed by the character of the response, the hesitation, the blind or vague spots in the stories given us by the prime minister," he said, Parliament's reputation had been affected. |
