He indicated that the new group intends for the present to support the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pearson '"'in the interests of Canada and not against the interests of French Canadians." } Mr. Caougtte told a press con- ference following a hotel - room caucus Sttended -by 15 other Quebec MPs that he had suc- ceeded in obtaining the support of three more besides the nine who had previously backed him "Eventually we will attempt to make this a national party and take it across Canada to protect the French - Canadians in every province," Mr. Caou- ette said following the four-hour meting. He said his main difference with Robert Thompson, Social Credit party leader, was the lat- ter's "refusal to ¢are anything about the French - Canadian point of view in national poli- tics." ' Of the 23 Social Credit MPs, 19 were elected in Quebec. Mr, Caouette also said Mr. Thompson is afraid of being laughed at if he sticks too strongly to Social Credit doc- trine.

Mr.. Pearson told reporters Wednesday the government is going "full speed ahead"' on fair preparations and that 1967 still ig the target. Both Mr, Pearson and Justice}! Minister Chevrier, senior Que- bec cabinet minister, said they had no knowledge of a report that fair technical experts will advise the government that the Montreal site--St. Helen's Is- land--may be impossible to complete in time for the target year of 1967. There "has been speculation that Pierre Dupuy, retiring Ca- nadian ambassador to Paris, is the government's choice as commissioner - general, Robert M. Fowler, president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper As- sociation, peontribute displays. is said to be its choice as deputy commissioner. Commissioner Paul Bienvenu and his deputy, C. F. Carsley, resigned their posts last month, saying that the administrative burden was too heavy. Meanwhile, Toronto board of control rejected for the third time in four months a proposal that the city handle the fair if Montreal can't maket he dead- ine. Controller Allan Lamport suggested that Toronto inform the federal government that, it is willing to take the fair out of Montreal's hands. He said the confusion and uncertainty in preparations already has made exhibitors reluctant to But Mayor Donald Summer- ville thought Toronto should re- main silent until Mr. Pearson makes his statement today. "However, if Montreal rules itself out, there is no other city than Toronto that could handle the fair," the mayor said. ¢ porting 'Mr, LISTS SUPPORTERS along with "those who are afraid." Following the. weekend Rallie- ment convention in Granby which repudiated Mr, Thomp- son's leadership, six Quebec So- cial Credit MPs announced their support for Mr. Thompson.

They were: Maurice Cote, Chicoutimi; Marcel Lessard, Lac St. Jean; Gerard Ouellet, Rimouski; Party Whip Jean- Louis Frenette, Portneuf; Ger- ard Girouard, Labelle, and Ger- ard Chapdelaine, Sherbrooke. Mr. Frenette and Mr. Chap- delaine attended the Wednesday caucus but left the meeting three-quarters of an hour before it ended saying they had mot hanged their minds about sup- Thompson.

Capt. Abdullah Attia said fire- men wrapped the body in dirty canvas and dragged it along the deck. Liberal Chief Charges By THE CANADIAN PRESS Liberal Leader Wintermeyer * Wednesday night accused On- tario's Progressive Conserva- tive government of blindness and laxity in the battle against} organized crime. And at roughly the same time, Premier Robarts was say- ing his government is deter- mined to rid-Ontario of any or- ganized cf He challenged political opponents, mentioning Mr, Wintermeyer, to produce any information they have on the subject. While the two leaders treated a more sensational subject, New Democratic Leader Donald C. MacDonald spoke of the pen- sion and community planning planks of his campaign for the Sept. 25 provincial general elec- tion. Mr. Robarts today heads into southwestern Ontario to visit Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Guelph, while Mr. MacDon- ald flies north to speak in Earl- CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 | FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 \fould ton and Cobalt. Mr. Winterme- yer travels through Midland, Collingwood, Thornbury, Mea- ford, Owen Sound, Durham, Walkerton, Wingham and Tees- water. It was the first time in the campaign Mr. Winterme- yer, whose speech in the legis- lature last year toyched off a crime investigation by Mr. Jus- tice Wilfred Roach of the Onta- rio Supreme Court, had empha- sized the subject. 'A CRUEL HOAX' At a meeting in Orillia, he berated the Roach royal com- mission as being "a cruel hoax upon the public." Accusing the government of being "terribly blind to the problem of organized crime and terribly lax in the discharge, of its responsibility to combat or- ganized crime," the Liberal) leader said: "It soon became tragically apparent that the royal commis- sion on crime was not deter- mined to get the truth. "Witness after witness came and went with nothing more than a warning that they must tell the truth. And when it pe- came apparent to the members of. the underworld that they! lie with impunity, ihe crime commission became a " uel hoax upon the public. _ Laxity. In Crime Probe The 'Roach 'report, issued in March, had shown only the sha- dow of the super-structure of or- ganized crime, -he said. "What lies beneath, the crime commission cannot tell us. It cannot tell us because it did not look." PREMIER DISTURBED Mr. Robarts, speaking at a campaign meeting in the Tor- onto suburb of Scarborough, said he is disturbed by "mut- terings" concerning crime, even though his government had 1m- plemented recommendations of the Rodth commission. The Ontario Police Commis- sion had all the powers of a royal commission and "'if any citizen has information that would be beneficial and that bears on this subject, we have machinery waiting to deal with Aad Mr. MacDonald, also cam- paigning in the Toronto area, pleaded for community plan- ning in Ontario and called or an overhaul of the . province's municipal structure.

Mr. Caouette said the six who supported Mr. Thompson would suffer no retaliation. Mra@Gregoire said the fact Mr. Caougtte has captured a major- ity of the MPs means it now is 'the official Social Credit party in Canada." Mr. Gregoire was chosen House leader of the party at the meeting; Mr. Boutin was appointed secretary and Mr. Beaule caucus president. ONE DEAD, 21 H IN RACIAL VIOL NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)--When classes ended &t McAlmont Elementary School just northeast of here Wednes- day, Steven Fitts, 6, and Ed- ward Jernigan, 7, came out with their arms around each other. Steven, a white youngster, had just completed first day in' the all-Negro sch ' Mrs. Yvonne ita Fitts, 26, his mother, told a reporter: "He'll learn something from all of this. At his age, he has no prejudice." Steven said excitedly: "I want to come baek to this school to- morrow." "Why of course you will, honey," his mother said. Mrs. Fitts' husband, Aircrafts- man Kenneth Jay Fitts, a na- tive of Syracuse, N.Y., is sta- tioned with the US. Air Force at Anchorage, Alaska. They have five children.

Nineteen couples and five sin- gle men--a fifth of Humlikon's population--were among the 80 persons killed when the Swis- sair Caravelle crashed shortly after taking off from Zurich Weenesday. The entire village council, a teacher and the chief of the lo- cal fire brigade were listed among the Humlikon dead. The group was on its way to Geneva to. visit an experimental farm at the invitation of a firm of pesticide manufacturers, ~ Though Humlikon's wheat harvest is in, both the potatoes and grapes have still to be gath. ered. So the orphans and sur- viving adults, who earlier 'had listened ashen-faced to the radio news of the crash, set to work to keep the farms running. The tiny hamlet's parish clark, Jakob Zinkel, said every- body was lending a hand on the farms, "but we must have help with the harvest." LOSE BOTH PARENTS A local pastor said 26 chil- dren and 14 youths had lost both parents in the disaster. "What can we do about the children?" was a common que3- tion in Humlikon, which is about 50 miles from the scene of the crash. "I wish I had been on the plane," one old man told re- porters. "All the young adults are dead and who is going to do the farming?" -Said Gottfried. Meisterhans, 28, whose parents perished in the disaster: j "This. is terrible'OThis is worse than war because it wiped out virtually a whole gen- eration."

The crash occurred eight min- utes after the plane had taken off amd shortly after the pilot White Boy Goes _To Negro School cautioned her not to "let oar boy get hurt." Until three months ago, she said, she had thought little about desegregation since 1954, when she graduated from Little Rock Central High School and the U.S, Supreme Court handed down its school desegregation decision. ~ She joined the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People two months ago and pawned her movie cameia last month to raise money for a trip to Washington and the civil rights march. Mrs. Fitts said a Negro friend of her husband was being sent to Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., and she was telling him all the places he should yisit,.., "But he stopped me and said: 'I can't go to any of those places. They don't allow Ne- groes,." That's when the idea of send- ing Steven to McAlmont to+k root in her mind, she said. S'e- ven normally would have at- tended all-white Sherwood Eie- mentary School, three miles from his home. McAlmont is only 1% miles away. "This is the main thing we're fighting for--to have the child go to the school nearest his home," she said.

Someoné pelied Mrs. Fitts' small, white frame house with eggs.

No more!" Rumors circulated that the plane may have been sabotaged after some witnesses said it dis. integrated in the air. But the chief investigator, Col.
