TWENTY-TWO PAGES PM Picks - Delay On Flag OTTAWA (CP) -- The Cana- dian Red Ensign atop the Peace Tower hung limp through a day- long drizzle Monday while con-| troversy over its future spilled from the Commons chamber to the lawns outside. In the House, Prime Minister Pearson announced that debate) on the Liberal government's proposed distinctive maple leaf flag will be delayed until next week at the earliest. At dusk, some 1,500 persons brandishing the design of their choice carried the controversy outdoors where the broad strip of the asphalt running from the centre entrance to the Parlia- ment Buildings served as de- marcation line between evenly- matched forces. The demonstration be- gan shortly before 7 p.m. with Red Ensign supporters congre- gating in front of the East Block, and maple leaf support- ers directly opposite them in front of the West Block. While it was a model of order- liness, the demonstration's one moment of tension came when the flag-carrying crowds moved | At one point the crowd in| front of the peace tower totalled about 1,500. The Red Ensign supporters appeared to have slightly more followers, and they clearly had more flags. "Sure they did,' said Bill Mc- Lean, president of the Evolu- tionany Movement of Canada, which sponsored the maple leaf march. "They bought them at 25 cents each. We made ours."|4 A reporter counted 40 maple leaf flags at one point. Not all|; of them conformed with the de- sign the government has_ pre- sented to Parliament. One had a maple leaf and the word "now." Another had the three maple leaves with. the Union Jack and fleur-de-lis, There was a cardboard with the word "Canada'"' and a maple leaf. In the last few days a small Ottawa store did a whale of a business selling small Red En- signs. Some of the ensign sup- porters also had placards. "Get rid of Quebec" said one. "'Down with press propaganda," said another, "Why don't you get out of CURTIS BABY IN OSHAWA HOSPITAL INCUBATOR --Times Photo--Bruce Jones your diapers," shouted a Red) Ensign man.
