The. legislation provides: (1) Authority for the president to cut tariffs. by 50 per cent. (2) Authority for the president to negotiate elimination of du- ties on certain items.

(4) Authority for the president to raise tariffs or impose quo- tas against a nation or group of nations putting "unreason- able" restrictions on U.S. prod- ucts, .

Factor®™ No Support Vote Urged By Pearson OTTAWA (CP) -- Liberal Leader Pearson advised Prime Minister Diefenbaker personally Friday that Parliament must decide the question: of con fidence in the government be- fore transacting any legislative business. : The opposition leader paid a 20-minute call on Mr. Diefen- baker at the prime minister's East Block office on Mr. Diefen- baker's invitation to discuss the formalities of the opening of Parliament Sept. 27. In reply to questions following the talks, Mr. Pearson said the Liberals' stand is that the throne speech debate, tradi- tional avenue for opposition non- confidence motions, should be proceeded with without interrup- Won for legislative business. "You'll have to ask the prime minister about that," he said when asked the prime minister's Commons presiding officers, in- cluding Marcel Lambert, MP for Edmonton West as Com- mons Speaker, are '"'satisfac- tory" to the official opposition. The question of the throne speech debate taking preced- ence over all other business is the key to Mr. Pearson's aim| for a quick decision by the Com- | mons on whether Mr. Diefen-| baker will command enough voting support to carry on the government. | | WINS CHAMPIONSHIP LONDON (AP), --Ken Rose- wall of Australia beat fellow- countryman Lew Hoad 64, 5-7, 15-13, 7-5 at Wembley Saturday night to win the £1,000 first| prize in the London professional | indoor tennis championships. attitude to the Liberal position.
