OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson remains publicly| optimistic that the proposed constitutional amending formula will be placed before Parlia- ment and ratified at the next session. However, there is consider- ably less optimism in govern- ment circles in the face of a serious snag in Quebec's legisla- tive action on it. It is understood that the fed- eral government is disturbed at the possibility that the current constitutional amending proce- dure--asking the British Parlia- ment to make the changes-- may remain in effect for some time to come. S There is even mention of the possibility of re-negotiation of the formula should legislative SIX SAY 'YES' So far, the formula has been approved by six legislatures: Ontafrio, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Alberta and British Columbia. Newfoundland approved it by cabinet order-in-council, It was not brought before the legisla- ture even though a debate on it was requested by Conservative Opposition Leader James Greene. A motion to approve the for- mula still is before the Sas- katchewan legislature and_ it still has to be presented to the Manitoba House.

Informants say the opting-out jlegislation passed by the Com- mons Tuesday night is a key factor in the aid - to - education plank The Conservatives are ex- pected to propose large-scale federal education assistance, along lines suggested by school trustee and teaching associ- ations, under federal-provincial agreements. Provinces wanting to opt out of the programs could do so without losing the financial benefits provided by the fed- eral government. The suburban areas program is said to include a' provision to permit home owners to de- duct municipal taxes in de- termining federal income tax liability. TO EASE BURDEN The aim is to ease the tax burden on the property owner from local improvement and school taxes which have grown greatly with the post-war popu- lation shift to suburbia.

The chance was that the 30- man Canadian advance party would land in Nicosia March 18 and find that nobody else was coming. Officials disclosed Thursday that the Canadian government ordered the departure of the ad- vance party before telling the UN what was going on and with- out knowing whether Finland and Ireland would join in. THREATENS INVASION Mr. Martin spent most of that wild March 17 on the long-dis- tance' telephone. Turkey was threatening to invade Cyprus becuase Turkish Cypriots were being strong-armed by the more numerous Greek-Cypriots. Mr. Martin called the foreign ministers of Sweden, Finland and Ireland, urging them to send troops to Cyprus for UN duty..He got definite word only from the Swedes, Mr. Martin then called UN Secretary-General U Thant, told him about his telephoning and then informed him an interna- tional force was in being and that the Canadians were on the AT-A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS | | THURSDAY, April 1, 1965 The Senate passed the last two major bills of the parlia- mentary session--the Canada Pension Plan and opting-out legislation.
