Members of the board of directors will make their total] ' personal pledge known about the second week of May. CENTENNIAL WEEK Date for the campaign kick- off was originally scheduled for the middle of April, but was postponed for a month on the recommendation of Mr. Kelly, who said this was a more advan- tageous time.

It was recommended by Wal- ter Branch, a director and for- mer city alderman, to add 500 more parking spots with the new addition. He said that according to a traffic jsurvey, there should be 1,500 parking places at the audi- torium when it is completed, A motion by Chris Mason and seconded by Mrs..Thomas that parking for an additidnal 500 cars be/provided, was approved, There now is parking for 950 cars at the auditorium. Man Convicted Of Stealing Wire TORONTO (CP)--John Kovall, 55, of Toronto, was convicted Thursday of possession of stolen copper wire and remanded to March 18 for sentence. About 55 miles of copper wire, valued at $3,855, was removed from Canadian National Teleg- raph poles between Milton and Barrie last year and about 10 miles of it was discovered in a Toronto scrap. yard. Kovall pleaded not guilty to the charge. However, Magis- trate P. B. Bolsby refused to be- lieve his story that a client had asked him to pick up the wire from a vacant lot and sell it. PC'S FAIL IN TO FORCE CARDIN OUSTER DOUGLAS HARKNESS, former Conservative de- fence minister, called in the Commons Thursday for Jus- tice Minisfer Cardin to sub- stantiate his charges against members of the EW MOTION Diefenbaker cabinet or sub- mit his resignation. Mr. Harkness talks to reporters following Commons session in which the opposition forced a roll call concern- ing Mr. Harkness' motion. Tories Seek Cardin Scalp OTTAWA (CP) -- The Con- servative Opposition went for Justice Minister Cardin's scalp Thursday over his charge that John Diefenbaker improperly handled a sex - and - security scandal in high places when he was prime minister. Former Conservative ministers kept the Commons in chaos all day, charging that Mr. Cardin smeared them all when he said two or more former Diefen- baker cabinet members. were involved -- presumably roman- tically--with a female spy from Germany. The Conservatives dared him to name names and prove his case, or resign his portfolio and parliamentary seat. Prime Minister Pearson, his minority government facing its second crisis with Mr. Cardin in a week, proposed a judicial inquiry. The Creditiste party supported him but some Con- servatives said this would leave a cloud: over their heads for months. Erik Nielsen (PC -- Yukon) said parliamentary practice de- manded Mr. Cardin prove his charges or resign. POLICE CHIEF GEORGE MALTBY of the Greater Winnipeg city of St. James exhibits one of the gold bars recovered from beneath the snow behind a suburban Winnipeg house. The bar is one of 12 taken March 1 in a $383,000 hijacking at Win- nipeg International Airport. One piece of bullion remains to be accounted for. But Douglas Harkness, for- mer minister in the Diefen- baker cabinet who set off the day-long debate when the House opened, said towards the end of the evening that the prime minister's proposal might be "the best way.' But it must be done quickly, Mr. Péarson said the cabinet set up an inquiry into the George Victor Spencer spy case within 48 hours after agreeing to it last Friday and indicated the government would act as act as quickly this time. But the Commons closed for the night without anything re- solved. The House was supposed to be debating an amendment to extend the Bank Act to Dec. 1, but managed to discuss it for only 45 minutes as Conserva- tive MPs interjected with ques- tions of privilege about Mr. Cardin's statements. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux, confessing at times he was un- sure what motion, question of privilege or point of order was under debate, faced his most demanding day since his elec- tion to the job at the start of the 27th Parliament. Before him are three Con- servative motions aimed at the justice minister. The Speaker is expected to rule today on the admissibility of at least one of them. Mr. Harkness demands that Mr. Cardin prove his case or resign. Gordon Churchill (PC-- Winnipeg South Centre) asks the prime minister to call for Mr. Cardin's resignation for making improper accusations against Mr. Diefenbaker and his former ministers. Mr. Niel- sen demands that Mr. Cardin substantiate his allega- tions against the former prime minister and his ministers. Tory Bids "Out Of Order" Speaker Lam OTTAWA (CP) -- Commons Speaker Lucien Lamoureux to- day ruled out of order all Con- servative motions seeking the resignation of Justice Minister Cardin for improper conduct. He said the motions assumed that Mr. Cardin was guilty of improper conduct before there was any debate on the matter. The angry Conservatives have demanded that Mr. Cardin prove his accusations against members of the former Diefen- baker cabinet or resign the jus- tice portfolio and his Commons seat. Mr. Cardin has said that two or more members of the Dief- enbaker government were in- volved romantically with a Gerda Munsinger who had been a Communist spy. Immediately after the speaker made his ruling, Gilles Gregoire, deputy Creditiste leader, moved that Mr. Car- din's Munsinger statements in- side and outside the Commons be referred to a judicial in- quiry for examination and re- port. The speaker rejected Mr. Gre- goire's motion on the grounds that sufficient notice had not been given. ACCEPTS MOTION Erik Nielsen (PC -- Yukon) had said Mr. Gregoire's motion would be acceptable. When Mr. Gregoire read his motion, Marcel Lambert, for- mer Conservative veterans min- ister, called out: "Who is the author?" Mr. Gregoire demanded that Mr. Lambert stand and make an accusation. Mr. Lambert didn't. Prime Minister Pearson sug- gested Thursday night that the government would favor a judi- oureux Rules set up an inquiry at once -- an order-in-council, he said. Mr. Pearson then read into the record a letter from Mr, Cardin making formal allega- tions against Opposition Leader Diefenbaker. The letter. said there was a security risk in the Munsinger case and that Mr. Diefenbaker had not referred it to the gov- ernment's legal advisers. It al- leged that the Conservative leader mishandled the case. BRINGS OUTCRY Cries of outrage from Conser- vative benches greeted the read- ing of Mr. Cardin's letter. Speaker Lamoureux had to call for order. Michael Starr (PC--Ontario) said he was shocked that the prime minister was reading it since Mr. Cardin had made fur- ther statements to a press con- ference after writing the let- ter. "The prime minister is now an instrument and an accom- plice to the rumors being spread around by the minister of justice." Mr. Cardin had said there were "'more than two." In view of this, a judicial inquiry wasn't enough. "Names have to be named now," regan i Starr. "Does he havé this intention: That the cloud of suspicion has to hang on the heads of all who are innocent? Parliament had to see that the position of prime minister was ae besmirched" by such ac- on, NDP Leader Douglas said Mr. Pearson gras only confusing the entire issue, The Cardin letter made no reference to comments on the Munsinger case by the cial inquiry. He repeated the offer in the Commons today, but did not present a motion for it. Michael Starr, former Con- servative labor minister, moved that Mr, Cardin substantiate his charges. Speaker Lamoureux said his motion was substantially the same as the three he had al- ready ruled out of order and could not be admitted. Gordon Churchill, former Conservative trade minister, asked what kind of motion would be acceptable. He re- called that in 1956 former Speaker Rene Beoudoin had helped an Opposition MP on the floor of the House to draft a motion when Mr. Boudoin's in- tegrity had been questioned in a newspaper report. REJECTS SUGGESTION The Speaker said that a case involving the Speaker of the day and was not a parallel to the current situation. Mr. Churchill said the Conser- vatives want to co - operate but the situation is unprecedented and "new ground must be broken." Mr. Pearson's offer of a judi- cial inquiry to look into the "allegations" being discussed brought shouts of "what allega- tions?" from Opposition mem- bers. "Perhaps the honorable mem- ber will keep, quiet just this once," said Mr. Pearson, direct- ing his comment to one of the justice minister outside the House. The prime minister wanted a carefully - framed inquiry in which the government would draw up the terms of reference. This wasn't good enough. Mr. Cardin had made serious charges. He must either with- draw them or substantiate them. The prime minister had a re- sponsibility to see that his min- isters act with "proper decor- um." Mr, Douglas said a cabinet minister with access to confiden- tial files cannot use his position to make charges against others. If Mr, Pearson wanted an in- vestigation, he would have to write terms of reference accept- able to all parties. These should have to cover.the Cardin charges outside the House. Mr. Cardin should appear to substantiate his charges and place his seat and portfolio at the disposition of the inquiry. Mr. Pearson said his govern- ment had been accused in the last two years "of every kind of crime on the calendar" but its political opponents had re- fused to name names. When the Conservatives spoke of more scandals to be uncovered, no specific allegations were made and Mr. Douglas had remained silent. Now the government was pre- pared to have an inquiry on which Mr. Cardin would stake his seat in Parliament. "If you don't like it, you can vote no confidence in us on Mon- hecklers. The government was ready to day and throw us out," Mr. Pearson said.
