ASTRONAUTS IN PROFILE It's Instant Congeniality If You Meet Pete Conrad By HAROLD R. WILLIAMS HOUSTON, Tex. (AP)-- Friends of Charles (Pete) Con- rad Jr. have described the as- tronaut as 'instant congenial- "Pete has never met a stranger," says fellow astro- naut Lt.-Col. Frank Borman. "He treats people he meets the first time as if they were long, lost friends. He treats _ his friends the same way." The five-foot, six-inch; 138- pound Conrad--the smallest of the astronaut group -- has a smile and a good humor that makes him a favorite every- where. There were some astonished looks last February when the U.S. Navy lieutenant-comman- der was teamed with L. Gordon Cooper Jr. to fly the eight-day Gemini mission. Cooper is. a man known to be stingy with words. "It looks as if Gordon isn't going.to say as much in eight days as he did on his 34-hour Mercury flight," a reporter said. The remark prompted this reply from Conrad: i "That's why he is taking me along--to do all the talking." The nickname Pete fits the happy-go-lucky Conrad, 35. PARENTS COMPROMISED "My mother wanted a son named Peter,' Conrad said. "My father wanted me to be named .after him. My father won out but my mother didn't want me to be called junior, so I ended up Pete as a com- promise." Now he is Pete to everybody. Conrad was born in Philadel- phia, June 2, 1930. His parents since have been divorced. His mother, Mrs. Frances V. Ser- gent, lives in Haverford, Pa.

Mr. Pearson says the changes involved in revamping electoral machinery following the proclamation of new ridings under redistribution, expected about mid-April of 1966, rule out an election between then and 1967, : But. his contention is being challenged by political oppon- ents who say an election would be possible much earlier on the new electoral maps that will re- flect the shift in . population from rural to urban areas re- corded in the 1961 census, Present maps are based on the 1951 census. Richard Thrasher, national director of the Progressive Conservative party, called Mr. Pearson's argument "a lot of nonsense" and said an election would be possible in June, 1966, under the new system, "It's just an excuse Mr. Pearson is using to get around the argument that he would be irresponsible to call an_ elec- tion before redistribution is lcomplete," Mr, Thrasher said, According to the legislation setting up the redistribution commissions in each province, the reports on new ridings must be handed in by next Jan, 20. There are provisions for ap- peals by MPs through debates in the Commons and this could prolong redistribution becoming official until mid-April. When piloting the legislation through the Commons last year, Transport Minister Pick- ersgill said the political parties would need about six months to reorganize, in the new electoral districts, On this basis, an election in the late fall of 1966 would be possible. If Mr.-'Pearson's estimate now is more accurate, a deci- sion not to hold an election this fall could push the next vote into the fall of 1967, The prime minister has not mentioned it, but most of 1967 is filled with activities: celebrating Canada's centennial, the time, Punks Board Trainer Ship OAKVILLE (CP)--Police are investigating an incident in which five carloads of police were called to quell teen-age hoodiums aboard a_ visiting cadet ship in Oakville harbor, Bill Caird, 19, executive of- ficer of the St, Lawrence II, a seg cadet trainer which had ar- ed from Kingston, said Mon- day that about 30 "punks" came aboard, stomped on var- nished woodwork, stole $20 worth of his phonograph rec- ords and an anchor bar, The executive officer said the 16 teen-age cadet cadets and live officers. on board were too few and too small to risk tack- ling the gang in the Sunday in- cident, The captain, 22 - year - old Larry O'Grady, was ashore at You can borrow $50 for The union's 1,200 members| . . have been on strike for 11 dave trike Deadline demanding a contract compar- } able to those signed recently by Canada's big three auto mak- Set In Sarnia ers, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, American Motors: in asking SARNIA (CP) -- Local 456, i United Automobile Workers, has for the injunction said the pick-| set a strike deadline of 11 p.m.| jeters have been preventing) Tuesday unless it can come to} some visitors and non-union|terms with Mueller Limited, of members from entering the|Sarnia.
