Thompson was chosen by more than 1,300 dele- the Liberal leadership convention Saturday. Imme- diately afterwards he sounded the first unity ory, declaring: "We are all united together in one Liberal family--and what a team we've got!" The delegates had indicated the extent of the Liberal split by taking six ballots--the max- "mum--to decide on Mr. Thomp- son. One by one the other can- didates were cast aside during a process of elimination that took six hours. Andrew r. er On the final ballot, only the names of Mr. Thompson and Charles Templeton, a former evangelist, remained, It looked like a squeaker, but in fact the vote was the only decisive one of the day--772 for Mr. Thomp- son, 540 for Mr. Templeton. Mr. Thompson declared in a - brief victory speech that Lib- ' erals must unite against the Conserva t i ve Premier Robarts. He said the leadership nace had only served to put Liberals "in fighting trim for the main campaign."| TOUGHER THAN EXPECTED At a press conference hater "l'm going to win the next elec- tion.'

'Conflict Ottawa At least five major compa- jnies in the defence field have hired officers, mainly from the RCAF, immediately on their retirement or before normal re-| tirement age. Though these officers would| | naturally, by their training and jexperience, gravitate to civilian |jobs in the defence field, offi- icials say one of the factors in itheir being hired by certain in- j\dustries is their specific knowl- edge of defence department pro- jewrement plans. \U.S. CONCERNED Only a few years ago, the United States government be- came seriously concerned about |the growing practice of senior military officers retiring to take jobs in industries which were substantially dependent on U.S. defence contracts.
