Prime Minister Diefenbaker gave no indication he would re- sign. No decision on what party governs Canada is likely at least until the armed forces vote is announced this weekend.

Frank McGee, min- ister without portfolio, wen down in the Toronto area's Dief May Remain In PM's Position PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. (CP)--A determination to face the 26th Canadian Parliament as prime minister was indi- cated strongly Monday night by John Diefenbaker. The 67-year-old lawyer, who had watched his minority gov- ernment position eroded to a point where the Liberals held an advantage, underlined events in 1925 when a Liberal governmemt continued in office under similar circumstances. The Liberals captured 126 seats Monday, the Conserva- tives 94, Social Credit 24 and New Democratic Party 17. Four seats still were in doubt early Tuesday. He told reporters he was de- ciding today when to return to Ottawa and when the next cab- inet meeting would be held. NEEDS ARMY VOTE But nothing else would be de- cided, Mr. Diefenbaker empha- sized, until the final vote had been counted -- including the service vote which takes about a week. He used Liberal Leader Pear- son's post-election statement as a basis for his decision. "He (Mr. Pearson) said that no decision will be made at this time and there would not be any determination as to whether there was or was not any minority government until all the votes have been counted and tabulated," the prime min- ister told a press conference after a national election state. ment. The situation was that no party had a majority and there was "much the same circum- stance--indeed I think the per- centage is the same--as in "At that time, the Coserva- tives as I recall elected 116 and Mr. King, (former Liberal prime minister W. L. Mac- kenzie King) on the basis of the fact that no party had a majority, decided to meet Par- liament.

Windsor de- livered its three Essex ridings to the Liberals again. Rural areas stayed heavily Conservative. Kent and Lamb- ton-Kent, both in the southwest- ern farm belt, ditched two Lib- eral winners of last June to give the Conservatives their only gains in the province. The NDP was jolted at the loss of York South where a Lib- eral replaced David Lewis, NDP deputy leader in the Cum- mons. The party held its pro- vincial total by taking Hamilton South from a Conservative. Liberal Leader Lester B. Pearson was re-elected in Al- goma East, which he has held since a 198 byelection, and other prominent Liberals posted easy victories. The revolt of city voters against the Conservative gov- ernment. was most marked in "Tory Toronto" which gave the Conserpatives all its seats in the 1958 Diefenbaker landslide and had never before blanked the party. Mitchell Sharp, deputy trade minister in the former Libera! government, scored an over- whelming -triumph in Toronto Eglinton which retiring Justice Minister Donald Fleming had represented since 1945 and did not contest this time. David G. Hahn scored a big win in Tor- onto Broadview, held by Trade Minister Hees before he re- signed from the cabinet in Feb- ruary and announced he would not run. the popular vote increased to 41 per cent from 37.3 last year and the Conservative share dropped to 33 per cent from 37.2. The other two parties showed little They Prairies Solid In Tory Fold EDMONTON (CP)--The three Prairie provinces remained sol- idly in the Conservative foid in Monday's federal general elec- tion despite Liberal inroads in other parts of Canada. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, who won in a walk in Prince Albert, saw his party sweep 41 of 48 Prairie seats, a loss of one from last June's general elec- tion but almost half the Con- servative's total strength across the country. British Columbia experienced a mild swing toward the Lib- eral party but the New Demo- cratic Party came out on top. Western observers viewed the Conservative strength in the agricultural West as a success- ful test of the government's farm policies. Biggest upset in the West was Minister Howard Green by Lib- eral Grant Deachman in Van- couver Quadra. Mr. Green, who had repre- sented the area in Parliament for 27 years, was the govern- ment's main campaigner against nuclear weapons for Canada. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1138 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 OTTAWA (CP)--An enlarged federal cabinet is in prospect if Liberal Leader Pearson is called on to form a government. He would then face the polit- ically-delicate task of trying to match potential cabinet talents to the traditional need for geo- graphical representation. A Pearson cabinet would likely be expanded beyond the 22 in the Diefenbaker ministry before the Conservative defeat in the Commons last Feb. 5. Mr. Pearson is known to fa- vor the British system in which portfolios are lighter and more numerous. Not all of them would carry full cabinet rank. Some departmental heads would have access to policy- making sessions only on mat- ters that involve them directly and perhaps even then would HOSPITAL 728-2211 have a senior minister carrying the ball. Another factor is that Mr. Pearson pledged during the election campaign to set up a new department of industry. He also promised to split the agri- culture portfolio on East-West lines, with a minister for each region. Each would have: full cabinet status. NO DISCUSSION? Sources close to the Liberal leader said last week, with only a few campaigning days left, that Mr. Pearson was not be- lieved to have discussed possi- ble cabinet jobs with any of the Liberal candidates. A week ago, Walter Gordon, who is considered most prob- able choice for finance minister said nothing had been discussed with him, Re-elected in Toronto Davenport, Mr. Gordon was chairman of the 1956 royal com Cabinet Will Expand If Pearson Made PM mission on Canada's economic prospects. Paul. Martin, Essex East, seems likely to be external af- fairs minister. Mr. Pearson has plenty of other talent to choose from, especially in Quebec and On tario. But the geographical problem arose with 'the Liberal void in Saskatchewan -- in fact, the party won only three of the 48 seats. on the Prairies. Hazen Argue had been considered a possible we stern agriculture minister before his defeat in Assiniboia.

Though the Liberals had some 30 more seats than the Conserv- ativs, Mr. Diefenbaker hinted that he might remain as prime minister. To do this, he would need the support of both the So- cial Credit and New Democra- tic parties. They have ruled out any coalition. He told reporters at Prince Albert, Sask., that the situation appeared much the same as in 1925 when the Liberals won 101 seats to 116 for the Conserva- tives; 24 for the Progressives plus four others in the then 245-| 7 seat Commons. Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King had stayed in office with the support of the Progressives. Mr, Diefenbaker declined comment on the statement by gihis former defence minister, Douglas Harkness, that he (Mr. Diefenbaker) should be replaced as. party leader.

Mr. Thompson, whose party lost six of. its 26 Quebec seats while retaining its four in the} West, said he would fly to Ot- tawa for a meeting with Real Caouette, deputy leader, and party whip Guy Marcoux. Mr. Douglas, whose party lost two seats, said Mr. Diefenbaker has the constitutional right to continue in office if no party has a majority. The election is mot formally completed until return of writs May 8. VOTE RESULTS Lack Of Majority Disappoints US. WASHINGTON (CP) -- The prospect that Liberal Leader Pearson will be Canada's next prime minister was welcomed in United States administration circles Monday night, but there was disappointment because Pearson appeared unlikely to have a clear majority in Par- liament. One administration official ex- pressed concern that another minority government might lead to political turmoil in the months ahead. A White House official said President Kennedy listened to the. Canadian election returns come in. The state department also said it would refrain from im- mediate comment. The election campaign, with its possible future impact on Canada - U.S, relations, was given widespread attention throughout the U.S. Many news- papers featured Canadian cam- paign stories on the front pages. Senator Mike Mansfield, Senat> majority leader, said he had never before seen such U.S. public interest in a Canadian election. One official suggested the election results indicated anti- Americanism had no great poli- tical potency in Canada. In of- ficial quarters there were ciear indications Kennedy would seek to work closely and intimateiy with Pearson. Senator J, William Fulbright (Dem. Ark.), chairman of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee, said he welcomed Pear- son's victory. "I have known him for many standing leader in the democra- tic world." Senator Mansfield, Montana Pearson and added: "We look forward as always to working closely and intimately with Can- ada in the problems that con- front us." Congressman. Frank Horton, New York Republican, said it might not have been disastrous for the U.S. if Diefenbaker had won, but. Pearson's victery "means real close relations with the U.S. Both nations now have. the challenge of working for harmonious activity in pro- moting trade, tourist and gov- ernment co-operation." hussia Assails NATO A-Force MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russia today bitterly attacked the pro- posed NATO multilateral nu- clear force and called for "joint efforts to stop the nuclear-m's- sile arms race" in notes to the British, United States and other NATO embassies. The note to the United States, handed to American Ambassa- dor Foy Kohler in Moscow Mon- day, said the proposed forcc was an American plan to give West Germany and other coun- tries "access to nuclear rock- ets." (In Bonn, the West German foreign ministry rejected a nate from Russia attacking West years and I consider:'him an out. Germany for supporting the proposed force.)

Liberal Norm Cafik, the 34- year-old ex-tool and die maker turned church fund-raising exec- utive, gave an impressive dis- Play of vote-gathering powers for a candidate who was politi- cally unknown last June and chased the Federal Minister of Labor right down to the finish- ing wire in what was for the most part a dramatic neck-and- neck race. Starr finished with 22,951 as compared with Cafik's 20,071 for a plurality of 2,880. Miss Aileen Hall, NDP, didn't do as well as her hard-working supporters had predicted and again finished in third place, this time with 15,139 : as compared with her last year total of 14,459, when she was also making her debut as a Fed- eral candidate. Sunny weather in the light % 50's -- as well as grave political issues--undoubtedly contributed to the all-time record high vote ™ for Ontario riding -- 58,161 out of 71,300 eligible voters. Harry W. Jermyn estimated the popu- lar vote percentage at 82.59, but stressed that this was not a final tally and could change as alterations were made in the total vote count. The per c last June when 53,776 out of a Possible 47.415. voted was 79 § record to that date -- Stafr's 1962 total was 23,145, Cafik's 16,017 and Hall's 14,459. POPULAR VOTE The popular vote percentage) in 1958 was 79.2. Starr displayed his traditional vote-strength in the municipal- ities, if by a greatly reduced majority, winning all but one of the 13 -- Pickering Township -- which went to the Liberal can- didate. ; The much-heralded vote-battle for the City of Oshawa followed much the same pattern as in = 1962 insofar as Starr was con- cerned -- his plurality over the - Tunner-up Monday was 1,648 as compared with his 1962 plural- ity of 2,918. This represented a plurality decrease of 1,270 over last year. Here are the Oshawa results: Starr, 11,241; Cafik, 9,593 and Hall, 8,690. RETURNS IN EARLY The riding returns, all in by 10.15 p.m., started to arrive at the District Returning Officer Harry W. Jermyn's Whitby headquarters within minutes after the polls closed at 7 p.m. Retums for all of the riding's 293 polls were in by 9.30 p.m., an all-time record for district returns in modern times at least, according to Harry W. Jermyn, District Returning Of- ficer, whose electoral machine functioned smoothly all night. The first to report was Osh- awa City poll No. 47-B at 274 Pacific avenue at 7.15 p.m. -- from then on it was an ava- lanche of returns, so much so that some kind of record was set for early filing. throughout the evening, Starr's lead was only. 977 at the 156- poll mark (13,062 to 12,08 -- Miss Hall had 9,604). LEADS INCREASED Starr's lead had increased to 1,546 at th 205-poll mark, to 2,014 at the 255-poll mark and {o 2,680 at the 288-poll mark. The Federal Minister of Labor thus maintained a steady lead down the home stretch until it was obvious as early as 9 p.m. that he could not be overtaken and plans 'were made for the traditional victory motor caval- cade from the King street PC committee room out and around the key points in the riding. Liberal candidate Norman Cafik turned up at the PC com- vo mittee rooms at approxim: 9.30 p.m. to offer his congratu tions to. Mr. Starr, who had ready made his victory speech to a crowd that took a4 available space at the 's spacious headquarters. ~ STARR PLURALITY Starr's plurality since 19548 as follows: aoe 1952, 3,200; 1953, 2,284; 198%, 4,655; 1958, 16,039; 1962, 7,171.

W: me Minister Dief- enbaker should resign, Mr: | Pearson reiterated: that the election-night count was not fi- nal. "I will leave it to Mr. Diefen- baker to decide what his own responsibility is. I know what mine is." Was he ready to speak as prime minister? "Tm not prime minister and when I am prime minister I'li be quite ready to speak as prime minister," he replied sharply. | WANTS HOUSE TO MEET He reiterated his campaign statements that Parliament should meet at the "earliest practicable' moment, amplify- ing that by saying he meant after the NATO council meeting |here May 22 to 24. With the largest party group in the Commons but still short of a majority, Mr. Pearson was serious-faced as he appeared before a crowd of about 250 sup- porters who waited the long hours for final results at Lib- eral election headquarters. "The result of this election is not yet known, that is in terms of a final result," he said Asked™) By 7.30 p.m. an unprecedent-| ed (for that hour) 45 polls had reported and showed Starr with 3,417, Cafik with 2,643 and Hall with 2,196. Starr was headed but once from that point on, at the 60- poll mark when Cafik edged ahead temporarily by 31 votes. The PC victory trend was more pronounced from then on, although Cafik held tenaciously to second place, only 243 poinis off first place as the 80-poll mark was reached. The standing at the end of the 100-poll mark gave Starr a 1,004 majority over Cafik with 8,760 to 7,756 -- Miss Hall trailed with 6,547.
