His three-hour speech Monday accusedthe government of "major political fraud" by con- cealment of the June foreign exchange crisis, of having mocked responsible govern- ment, and of having tried to fool voters by a forecast of full employment this summer. Mr. Pearson also presented a five-point Liberal program em- bracing a federal boost to the construction industry, develop- ment of new manufacturing in- dustry, greater aid to educa- tion and job-training, a national health care plan and a system of contributory retirement pen- sions. But his main pitch was to the other two opposition parties to rally behind his non-confidence motion which stated, simply, that the members of the cabi- net "do not possess the confi- dence of this HouSe." A vote on this motion is scheduled for Thursday night. HAVE THE VOTES } Social Credit, with 30 mem-| bers, and the New Democrats with 18, have the votes Mr. Pearson and his 99 Liberal sup- porters need to defeat the mi- nority Progressive. Conserva- election, tives tried to outdo the Liberal desk-banging when Mr. Diefen- baker began. Mr. Pearson showed himself adept at fielding Conservative jibes. At one point, during a cri- ticism of Mr. Diefenbaker's per- formance at the recent Com- monwealth conference in London, a Conservative back- bencher shouted: "He didn't sell Canada short." "He didn't all," Mr. Pearson shot The Liberals cheered. HAS 3 MAIN POINTS Mr. Pearson based his attack on three main »0ints: The June foreign exchange emergency with its resulting "austerity" program, the government's rec- ord on unemployment, and its stand at the London conference on Britain's bid to join the Eu- ropean Common Market. He said that by not telling Ca- nadians of the foreign exchange emergency before the June 18 the government was guilty of "fraud 'y concealment sell Canada at back. ani misrepresentation of the sit- uation." The prime minister had told voters in a June 14 television speech that the government had "concealed nothing and shaded tive with .its 116) page ag But the leaders of those parties have said the government should have a chance to bring in its legislative program. Mr. Pearson said pointedly ' 'that he doesn't envy the task of other opposition parties in try- ing to justify support for a gov- ernment which a few months' ago they were attacking on the election hustings. They won't get wise and sound policy from "a weak and] Z discredited minorith govern- ment," he declared. The throne speech outline of the govern-| * ment's legislative program was| * a "dish of Tory left-overs" that provided no grounds for Social Credit or NDP support. Mr. Pearson two parties had -vaited, hoping for signs of a change of heart b, the government, but new initiatives."

MAY BE BIG NEWS There had been speculation that Mr. Diefenbaker might un- fold some big government an- nouncements, as he has done in previous session-opening throne speech debates. But Monday night he apparently didn't have time for that. Mr. Diefenbaker instead gave the Liberal leader's speech a quick once-over of crossfire cri- ticism. "He called it "a warmed-over election speech, generated in large measure by frustration" ARRESTED Ashlana F. Burchwell, 22, is shown. in handcuffs today before arrainment on federal charge of interstate transport- ation of a switchblade knife. Dallas police who stopped his car Sunday for a traffic viola- tion found a rifle, pistols and ammunition in the car and charged him. with carrying prohibited weapons. They quo- at having lost out so narrowly in the Liberal bid for office last June 18. Mr. Diefenbaker said the Lib-| eral leader's speech had been| billed in press -reports as aj broadside. It was more like a number of packages of. fire- crackers linked t ogether--they took longer to explode and didn't do much harm. He suggested that Mr. Pear- son's omission of any mention of agriculture was because the votes of the western farmers had dashed away his election night hopes of victory. LET OFF STEAM | Monday's opening of the eight-day throne speech debate provided the Commons with its first big chance to let off parti- san steam this session. Liberal members cheered loudly at Mr. Pearson's major points, shouted dowr many Con- servative interjections, and gave their. leader a protracted desk- banging applause when he fin- ished.

Two days after the election Agriculture Minister Hamilton had said there was no crisis that anyone could point a finger at. Austerity was an- nounced June 24. "The government's explana- tion of the nature, cause and timing of the dollar crisis in June 'is false to the point of be- ing nonsensical." Mr. Pearson said the real jcause lay in five years of eco- nomic stagnation, chronic trade deficits, government discour- agement of foreign capital, se- cret efforts to force down the dollar's exchange rate and huge budgetary deficits. SCOFFS AT PREDICTION He scoffed at Mr. Diefen- baker's election prediction that "virtual full employment" would be achieved by July or August. He said there had been no shred of evidence to support this claim. In June, unemployment fell to 301,000, in July rose to 308,000 and in August fell to 280,000-- 4.1 per cent in the labor force. This, he said, was twice and nearly three times as high as under the former Liberal gov- ernment. "How can we prosper with a government that thinks 300,000 unemployed in mid-summer is something to boast about?" The government had tried to force Britain into a position of choosing between the Common- wealth and the Common Mar- ket. It had showr its "peculiar genius for getting into quite un- necessary difficulties, even with its good friends." TROOPS AT Ol GUARD UNEASY TRU ARMED TROOPS TIDY UP MISSISSIPPI CAMPUS !

Best of the Civil Service Association of Canada said .today. He blamed an '"unsympathe- tic' cabinet, the civil service salary freeze that came with austerity measures this sum- mer, and one-sided machinery for settling employer-employee differences. He called for immediate insti- gation of negotiation and arbi- tration procedures for settling these differences and unity of purpose among the three ma- jor civil service employee or- ganizations. He urged civil set Mr. Best, president of the 32,- 000-membef association since it was formed 4% years ago, made the comments in his pres- idential report tabled at the opening session of the four-day biennial convention here. The sessions will deal with at least 291 resolutions concerned with all phases of employment and Mr, Best said delegates are likely to pay considerable at- \t entton to the government's freeze on salary increases. His own report dwelt at some length on this question and that of negotiating procedure. "The presen salary freeze is totally unjustified and has high- lighted the obvious inherent weakness on the consullation process," he said.

"Any procedure of employer- employee consultation or discus- sions which leaves the final de- cision-making stage as the ar- bitrary prerogative of one of the parties is doomed to failure." Cliches about cabinet freedom and antiquated interpreta- tions of government sovereignty had dominated government plies to its employees too long.

"At the moment, there is no need to replenish the unemploy- ment insurance fund," replied Mr. Starr. Later, J. A.

The Labor Minister said his most accurate information is J. M. orgie, Liberal MP for Renfrew North, tried the Prime Minister by asking him what action the Government is taking to remedy a critical situation in the fund. He said that it appears the fund will likely be exhausted during the coming winter unless measures are taken to restore its revenue. Speaker Marcel Lambert said he felt Mr. Starr's answer to a previous question was ade- quate on the subject. This ruling was challenged by Liberal Paul Martin who said that in view of the serious condition of the fund some answers should be forth- coming. However, he was overruled by the Speaker and the matter was dropped, Boyd Released, Not Returned To Wife Yet TORONTO (CP)--Bank rob- ber Alonzo Boyd, whose release on parole from a life sentence was announced Monday, had not been re-united with his wife by midnight Monday night. Mrs. Boyd, her face pale and tear-stained, waited alone in a shabby little flat in west-end Toronto. - The constant ringing of her telephone could be heard from outside. She refused to speak to reporters at the door. "T can't tell you anything," she said, A glass pane on the inner door leading to her apartment had been broken, but none of the building's occupants could explain how it happened. Mrs. Boyd said earlier she ex- to come home as soon as he was released, But there was no sign of the notorious robber Monday night, although reports indicated he was in the Toronto area.
