But' an event that could steal most of the interest during the convention is the controversial visit of segregationist Governor George Wallace of Alabama as the guest of honor. At least two Toronto groups plan demonstra- tions Thursday when the gov- ernor is scheduled to address the Lions, Ph Age psa A. , & cottage c Jorge a 53-year-o Rican, have hit the home-stretch of lengthy campaigns for the Post, regarded as a stepping stone to the presidency, and will be using every possible de- vice to attract the votes of more than 30,000 delegates expected to attend the convention. Voting for the executive posi- tions will take place at the final session Saturday. The parade, which opens the convention Wednesday morning, is expected to have about 90 bands and take three hours to pass, GROUPS PROTEST A committee of 18 -Torofito organizations and groups of pri- vate citizens has been formed to protest the presence of Gov- ernor Wallace, Mrs. Jean Dan- lels, chairman of the commit- tee, urged in a statement Satur- day that Canadians and espe- cially Torontonians 'express their abhorrence of all that Gov- ernor Wallace has come to rep- resent and their determination not to permit his inhuman poli- cies to creep in unnoticed."

Row Over Rhodesia | Threatens _|tracting atmosphere today as LONDON (CP) -- Off-stage rumblings from Ghana and Southern Rhodesia created a dis- Commonwealth prime ministers assembled for their 13th and biggest family conference. An official statement by Pres- ident Nkrumah, issued during the weekend, termed the situa- tion in Rhodesia "critical and explosive." At the same time it was disclosed that the president Prime Minister Ian Smith of Southern Rhodesia had asked to attend the Commonwealth gath- ering, but Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home turned him down. African and Asian mem- bers did not want Smith to use the meeting as a forum for a plea to preserve white rule. Southern Rhodesian whites are demanding complete inde- pendence, but Britain says it will withhold independence until Negroes are given some say in the government. If Britain tries to force the White Rhodesians to yield power, they may pro- claim their independence and quit the Commonwealth, follow- ing South Africa. If it fails to will be coming to the conference, possibly sealing the doom of strenuous British efforts to play down the Rhodesian issue.

The document, entitled "Brit- ain's responsibility in Southern Rhodesia," said the present sit- uation there was "critical and explosive" and a threat 'not only to the security of Africa) but to world peace." The seven African states at- tending the week-long meeting, starting Wednesday in Marlbor- ough House, were reported pressing for a Commonwaelth statement on South Africa's apartheid policies. Still another report was that the two Southern Rhodesian| black nationalist movements planned what one commentator called a "major lobbying oper- ation" during the conference. The report said African rep- resentatives planned a direct approach to Prime Ministers Pearson of Canada, Menzies of Australia and Holyoake of New Zealand. They have served no- tice on Britain they will press for an end to white rule in the self-governing British colony. Uganda Prime Minister A. Milton Obote said on arrival in London that Britain had a con- stitutional duty to force South- ern Rhodesia's 220,000 whites to relinquish political. power to the nearly 4,000,000 Negroes. The African states, led 'by Nkrumah, were said to have scheduled a foreign ministers' meeting today to co-ordinate strategy on the issue. Other new members of the Commonwealth indicated they would back the Africans on Southern Rhodesia, thus setting the stage for a debate with some of the group's older white mem- bers. The latter nations may ar- gue that the Commonwealth should not be drawn into a dis- pute between Britain and one of GIRL DRINKER GOES BERSERK OSHAWA (Staff) -- When a 16-year-old Indian girl went beserk July 4 she: Refused a police officers' request that she get out: of a car in which she had been drinking with three youths; Tore the officer's shirt, knocked his hat off, and°tore | Off his tie; Broke away and ran onto a busy highway after threaten- ing to commit suicide; Fought and screamed at the police officer and kicked him in the groin; And pounded the walls of the police station. Connie Simcoe, of the Rama Indian Reserve, was today held in custody in Oshawa Magistrate's Court until July 15 when she will he sen- tenced on a charge of minor consuming. She and three other young Indians were recently given a year's probation for break- ing into a church manse on the reserve and stealing food. OPP Constable R. W. Mills testified the gir] went "crazy" after he checked a car in which she was riding at Lang- ford Mills. The other three occupants of the car said when they drove her to the reservation she re- fused to get out of the car the officer said. Miss Simcoe's father said the "girls have. nothing to do on the reservation." He warned that if nothing is done to 'prevent people coming in and giving these girls liquor, things will get worse," its colonies. with African Commonwealth members. The Sunday Telegraph said some African countries, notably Ghana, threatened joipt with- drawal from the Commonwealth unless Britain clearly stated her policy toward Southern Rhod- esia. The warning shots from Africa were fired against a sombre background. Seldom if ever has the Commonwealth seemed in such sceptical, self-questioning mood. Britain's press blossomed forth during the weekend with a series of soul-searching articles, mostly friendly but all squarely facing the fact that the Com- monwealth, swollen to unprece- dented size, confronts a crisis of confidence. TO DISCUSS MALAYSIA Another issue before the Com- monwealth leaders is the Mal- aysia crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman said on departure from Kuala Lumpur Sunday: 'I expect to get a sympathetic hearing from our friends at our hour of need and trial in meeting a very foul enemy." Indonesia is waging a guer- rilla war against the British- sponsored federation on the is- land of Borneo, which both coun- tries share. Although Britain, New Zea- land and Australia have given the Malaysians support, Rah- man may have difficulty rous- ing the Africans and some oth- ers. Storms Strike Prairie Crops On Weekend REGINA (CP)--Hail and rain storms swept across southern Saskatchewan during the week- end, destroying grain crops in some areas. One man, hit by lightning, was released from hospital after treatment. At Holdfast a storm ham- mered crops into the ground, wiping them out, and at Este- van, 90 miles southeast of Re- gina, 24% inches of rain fell in 28 minutes. At Bengough, 32 miles north of Moose Jaw, 100 per cent loss was reported Friday night as hail cut down crops in an eight-mile-long area. The hail was half a foot deep in some places and stones measured up to one inch in diameter.
