SUGGESTION WAS MUTED Th U.S. said it would not exclude Viet Cong leaders from a peace conference table pro- vided they were part of the North Vietnamese delegation and, said Gordon Walker, "having come so far, what harm would there be going further and calling a Viet Cong spade a spade." Gordon Walker's suggestion was somewhat muted by out- cries in Washington from such persons as Senate minority leader Everett Dirksen of Illi- nois that any Communist par- ticipation in a negotiated coali- tion government for South Viet Nam should be prevented.

Mr, Diefenbaker, s peak ing after Prime Minister Pearson made a short statement on the recently-concluded London con- ference, said the peace mission should have been discussed through Commonwealth diplo- matic channels, It was. his un- derstanding that only Prime Minister Menzies of Australia knew about it.

Coverage in the government plan amounts to 62 per cent of take - home pay plus an addi- tional 2 per cent for each de- pendent. This is about $2.or $3 more than is provided by. the jcompany funds. The effect of the government plan, a Ford spokesman said, "is that we would continue to pay entributions to our own unemployment benefit prog- rams, while at the same time reimbursing' the government up to an equivalent amount of what we would have paid."

The company said all the workers will be back on the job by Carly IG po son's strong stand in support of U.S. action in Viet Nam. SAYS 'VALUABLE' Mr. Pearson said that the peace mission was a valuable and timely initiative for the Commonwealth to take even if it is unable to accomplish what it hopes. "I do believe the ef- fort was well worth taking." The prime minister said the conference was "very difficult" and it was an accomplishment to 'reach agreement on a com- munique. It involved long and vigorous discussion. NDP Leader Douglas urged the prime minister to make a clear-cut statement soon sup- porting the communique, since it, had gone further than the Canadian government in setting out the steps required for a peaceful. solution in Viet Nam. cy GADGET DATES BACK The first special device for making coffee was theibrik, in- | vented in Turkey about years ago. | they would have paid to work- jers through their _Tegular_u un- Senate Potshoots Ads-Tax.

Senator Joseph Sullivan (PC -- Ontario) said that word- ing in some sections of the act was unclear and he anticipated "an endless discussion in in- come tax offices next year." Clause 19 of the act, which provides that rents or royalties obtained from mines is no longer deductible as of the be- ginning of 1965, came in for criticism from Senator Allister Grosart.
