(CP Wirephoto) Liberals Win Bank B OTTAWA (CP)--The minority government came close to defeat Thursday night as all opposition parties joined forces in a Commons: vote to oppose approval in principle of a bill to revise the Bank Act. More than 100 MPs, about evenly split on both sides, were absent as the vote went 84 to 78 for the government. It was one of the closest counts of the 27th Parliament and provided the first dramatic moment of the fall portion of the session that began Wednes- day. The Bank Act legislation, and a companion bill affecting two chartered banks that operate only in Quebec, were sent to committee for detailed study. An indication that the vote would be close came when the division bells summong mem- bers were rung for 45 minutes. Called from a dinner for visit- ing Japanese cabinet ministers were External Affairs Minister Martin and Trade Minister Win- ters, both in evening dress. DIEF ABSENT Among those absent was Op- position Leader Diefenbaker, in the Commons earlier though Labor Backs Wilson Stand On Rhodesia BRIGHTON, England (Reut- ers) -- The governing Labor party today overwhelmingly en- 'dorsed Prime Minister Wilson's handling of the Rhodesia crisis after a rowdy session at its an- nual conference here. ' Mrs. Eirene White, a minis. ter of state for foreign affairs, was heckled and interrupted by party members when she de- fended government policy. A resolution backing the gov ernment won by 4,664,000 votes to 1,591,000. The party then de- feated a critical resolution de- manding compulsory economic sanctions not only against Rho- desia but other countries which did not comply with the sanc- tions campaign. Britain has given Rhodesian Prime Minister an Smith a last-chance offer to negotiate his declaration of independence last November before it asks the United Nations for compul- sory economic sanctions against the regime. ill Vot suffering from a cold, and two new Liberal members from Newfoundland who can't take| their seats until their byelection writs are returned. Despite the vote, debate moved evenly and swiftly with none of the partisan bitterness that often characterized the ear- lier part of the session. The Bank Act debate was shorter than expected and the House moved on to a bill to set up a Canadian livestock feed board with a revolving $10,000,- 000 fund to get western feed grain to Eastern Canada and British Columbia livestock rais- ers.

OTTAWA (CP)---Steven Trus- cott testified today in the Su- preme Court of Canada that he does not recall the trial. testi- mony or the identities of five Crown witnesses who appeared against him when he was con- victed of the sex slaying of Lynne Harper. Under cross - examination by Donald Scott, Welland County Crown attorney in the govern- ment - ordered review of the case, Truscott said he remem- bered one of the witnesses but denied portions of that witness' testimony given at his trial in 1959 when he was 14 years old. He agreed with Mr. Scott that in general this testimony would have placed him at particular times in the wooded area near the Clinton, Ont., RCAF base where the 12-year-old girl was seaelly assaulted and _ stran- gied. Truscott, who did not testify at his own defence at the trial, also agreed with Mr. Scott that basically his defence against the murder charge was that he had last seen the girl alive at the juncture of two roads in the same wooded area. ASKED ABOUT REACTION Mr. Scott asked why, in view of that, Truscott couldn't even recall now these persons giving evidence. "{T don't recall them giving evidence," enn replied.

Mr. Scott also questioned Truscott about his testimony Thursday that he first men- tioned injuries to his penis this year to his lawyers because he had been too embarrassed to tell his father previously. Truscott. agreed with Mr, Scott that at his preliminary hearing in 1959 and at his trial later two doctors had given evi- dence about these injuries. Mr.. Scott asked whether Truscott had told his father about them at the time of the preliminary hearing. "IT do not remember whether I told him anything or not." But, said Mr. Scott, Truscott had testified Thursday that he had told no one until 1966. "I do not recall mentioning the subject to anyone until" a visit this year by his lawyers, G. Arthur Martin and E. B. Jol» liffe. Mr. Scott asked whether even at the time of his trial he had not told his father how the in- juries occurred. "No, I didn't, was the reply, Truscott arrived in the court- room accompanied by a plain- clothes policeman about five minutes before the nine justices of the court the bench for the third day of the review, of the CBC.

UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- While Secretary - General U Thant continued his efforts to end the shooting in Viet Nam, the United Nations took up the job Thursday of raising money for its aid to underdeveloped countries in 1967. Thant, who had separate talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U.S. State Secretary Dean Rusk earlier in the week, was reported by a spokesman to be-trying.to cre- ate the right "atmosphere" for negotiations on Viet Nam. He had not put forward new pro- posals,: however. Speaking to delegations from more than 100 countries at the UN development program's pledging conference for 1967, Thant said even a modest in- crease in development aid to low-income countries would help to relax world tensions and pave the way for reductions in armaments. The total 1967 target is $200,- 600,000; and Thant said he hopes the UN General Assembly will increase this target to $350,-000,- 000 annually by 1970. More than $55,000,000 was pledged by 35 countries at the conference. Canada, first coun- try to speak, pledged $10,750,000, an increase of $1,250,000 over its 1966 pledge. This was matched only by West Germany, a -non- member of the UN, which pledged to contribute "approxi- mately $10,000,000." A number of countries, in- cluding the United States and Britain, said they weren't ready to announce their pledges. The Soviet Union and France pledged $3,500,000 each. Viet Nam, as an issue, went unmentioned. in the assembly for the first time since the cur- rent session opened Sept. 20, but hopes persisted that the UN --or at least its secretary-gen- eral--could become a channel between Hanoi and Washington. In the last few days, Thant has been asked publicly by Is- racl 'and privately by Cam- bodia, Algeria and the United Arab Republic to renew his Viet Nam peace efforts. At a press briefing, a spokes- man for Thant declined to say whether the secretary-general has made direct contact with North Viet Nam, which isn't a UN member. of changing technology and the current threat," Johnson said: "Reduction of Soviet forces in Central Europe would, of course, affect the extent of the threat."

If the Communist or non- aligned nations have had any hint from North Viet Nam that it is prepared to ease its con- ditions for negotiations, there is no sign that they passed the in- formation on to Rusk. It became clear that the Americans were making little headway after Rusk talked Thursday with Foreign Minister Vaclav David of Czechoslovakia and Janos Peter of Hungary. The Americans apparently had centred their hopes on Da- vid, whose Premier Jozef Len- art conferred recently in Ha- noi with North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh.
