The big preliminary re- hearsals started this week when nominations opened. They will close Friday at 5 p.m. Official slates will be announced next Monday.

The who learned his Trade Unionism as a_ teen-age worker in the coal fields of Scotland, will not be opposed this year by Clifford Pilkey. Mr. Smith's toughest stumbling block in the way of the presidency this year will undoubtedly be Albert "Abe" Taylor of the Democratic Right-Wing who was elected second vice-president in 1961 with an impressive vote-total of 3,326 for an over-all majority of 476 over two opponents, incum- bent James Lownie and Cass Lesnick. ' The 38-year-old Taylor has served two terms on the GM Negotiating committee, in addition to holding other posts of a more minor nature in the past 19 years. There is also the possibility of independent candidates in the May race. Smith polled 3,497 votes in 1961 for an over-all majority of 237 over his three opponents -- Mr. Pilkey had 2,895, Wil- liam Werry 272 and Edward Elliott 93. The last two were in- dependents. When there are more than two candidates for any office, the winner must have an over-all majority ac- cording to the UAW constitution. There were 6,891 ballots cast im 1961 -- was 5,998. Chairman Steve Melnichuk of the Local's Election com- mittee estimated today that approximately 11,000 of the eligible voters are from General Motors -- about 1,500 are from Houdaille, Duplate, Coulters, Ontario Steel, Fabricated Metals and Algoma Tool and Die. A pamphlet outlining the scheduled times and places of ge as well as the names of candidates, will be released 1, Mr. Melnichuk said that GM has prohibited voting in the plant this year; also, vans, etc., at the South GM Plant and other parking areas is conditional on the maintenance of Orderly conduct by employees, "and the keeping of all these areas free of literature and refuse during the voting." President Smith said recently that such a company ban 'would reduce the popular vote "'considerably." As an indication of the complexity of such an election, more than 24,000 ballots were cast in the 1959 race and this total will undoubtedly be exceeded next month. The 1961 elections concluded May 26, but the final re- sults were not announced for several days; a recount of 6,141 ballots delayed announcement of the election of Robert Spencer to the Canadian UAW District Council in 1961 for %4 hours. This also delayed announcement of the results for the top eight executive posts. : The elections of First Vice-President Jack Meagher and Editor John Brady (of the Oshaworker) were not confirmed until June 21 in 1961 as each lacked an over-all majority over their opponents in the first result. Brady was actually sec- ond to Tom Simmons, a Pilkey-slate representative, in the first result. ° Mr. Melnichuk's election committee also toyed with the flea of using mechanical vote-tabulating machines this year, but tossed it aside after a trial-run in a small regional com- JACK MEAGHER the total in 1959 58-year-old Smith, Urges Team To See War VIENTIANE (Reuters) -- Neutralist Premier Prince Sou- vanna Phouma said today he has asked the three-nation in- ternational control commission to send a permanent inspection team to the Plaine des Jarres where neutralist and pro-Com- munist forces have been fight- ing. He told a press conference he asked for the team to be sent to the Plaine des Jarres airport following agreement between himself, pro-Communist Pathet Lao Leader Prince Souphanou- vong, and the right-wing vice- premier, Gen.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Hussein Fights To Stay Alive By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer King Hussein, whose flair for meeting danger head - on has kept him on the throne of Jor- dan for at 1 tr years, may be in the mood to y a waiting game if he sur- vives the present crisis. May observers feel the cou- rageous young king, surrounded by the new and hostile Arab federation, his government 'in defeat and many of his people up in arms, is fighting the bat- tle of his career--for his throne and possibly for his life. council and a third penson to be named by the cabinet -- is vague and in any case Is not due to come into force until May, 1965.

Lockwood Heating For Western countries, which would like to preserve the status quo, at least for the time being, the latest developments present many problems. They look to Hussein as their strongest ally in the vitally stra- tegic area and want to see him carry on. On the other hand, President Nasser of Egypt, prime mover of the proposed Egypt - Syria - Iraq federation, would like nothing better than to topple Hussein and see Jor- dan, as a republic, join the grouping.

The Israeli state radio inter- rupted its broadcasts to an- nounce Ben-Zvi's death and all scheduled programs were can- celled. Ben-Svi was chosen as Is- rael's second president in 1952, a month after President Chaim Weizmann's death, He was twice re-elected, for the second time last December. The tall, bespectacled scholar was famous for the wooden hut he lived in for more than 30 years in what later became one of Jerusalem's most fashionable suburbs, SHOWS AUSTERITY To Israelis, Ben-Zvi's wooden hut, denoted his austerity and modesty despite his climb to fame as a scholar and writer. Born in the Ukraine, in 1884, he experienced the persecutions of the programs of 1905, when his family were exiled to Si- beria by Czarist authorities on charges of socialist Zionism. Ben-Zvi escaped and helped organize the labor movement in Palestine among the small Jew- ish community there before the birth of Israel. He also helped create Hasho- mer, a forerunner of Haganah, the underground citizen army which spearheaded the struggle for an independent Jewish state. During the British rule in Pal- estine, Ben-Zvi was a founder of the General Federation of Jewish Labor, Histadrut. He is restrained in part by the fact that the Israeli -- ment has let it be known would go to war if Egypt jes into control of Jordan, situated along its eastern frontier and | flanked on two sides by the| Arab federation.
