Disorder Followed Last Use Of Closure By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--Wild scenes of disorder in the Commons and the end of a parliamentary era flowed from the last use of debate - limiting closure in the 1956 pipeline debate. It gave Canadian hisotry a low-water mark in parliamen- tary prestige and decorum, Black Friday. It saw Rene Beaudoin, a promising and expert Speaker of the Commons, discredited with. an unprecedented censure motion against him by the op- position. It brought broken health to: the Coriservative opposition leader, George Drew, forcing him out of active politics, a man who might have been prime minister. It ultimately broke the back of a government, ending the 22-year reign of the Liberals un- der prime ministers Mackenzie King and Louis St. Laurent. BROUGHT DIEF TO FORE It also brought to the fore as the defender of parliamentary rights, the Conservative MP for Prince Albert -- John Diefen- 'baker--who became the new prime minister after the 1957 election with a promise, among other things, of abolishing clos- ure. ' Peron Given 'Ultimatum MADRID (AP)--Juan Peron's ill-fated move early this month 'to return to his Argentine homeland brought an ultima- tum today from the Spanish government: Give up politics or leave Spain within a month, The government also expelled all of Peron's political collab- The Commons has not since returned to the quietly efficient way of doing things that pre- vailed before it. In 1956, the late C. D. Howe, then minister of trade and com- merce, proposed a treasury loan of up to $80,000,000 to Trans- Canada Pipe Lines Limited to help the company build the Prairie section of its $375,000,000 pipeline from Alberta to Mont- real, The loan had to be approved by June 7 if the start was to be made by the end of the year. Mr. Howe opened debate May 14 and in his opening speech gave notice of closure. The res- olution had already been on the Commons order paper for six days and opposition Conserva- tive and CCF MPs had declared outside the House and in they would fight it with every device available. OPPOSITION ASTOUNDED The opposition was astounded when Mr. Howe proposed clo- sure at the end of his first speech on the bill. They com- plained this was not cutting off a long, protracted debate that had bogged down, but prevent- ing any proper discussion at the very start of a debate. Mr. Howe applied closure three more times, at every stage of the pipeline bill's pas- sage, further incensing the op- position. But the bill was passed before the deadline. Before 1956, closure had been used in the Canadian Commons in 1932. The closure rule in the Cana- dian Commons has been traced back to a device evolved by the late Arthur Meighen, Conserva- tive prime minister, in the great naval debate of 1913. Under the rule, a cabinet minister gives notice one day that on the next sitting day he only seven times, the last time will move debate on a measure be not further adjourned. A vote is taken immediately to agree or not. Then speeches are limited to 20 minutes each-- instead of the normal 40 minutes --and the issue is settled by a vote at 1 a.m. the following morning. Normally, the Com- mons rises at 10 p.m. In. the 1956. pipeline debate, Conservative and CCF members fought bitterly on every proce- dural ground they could find. Sittings were stretched out to 3 or 4 a.m. by tangled procedural argument. Spectators jammed the galleries. In all the wrangling over the rules and the interpretation of them by Speaker Beaudoin, there was little distussion of the merits of the pipeline bill. The whole subject of debate was the government's determination to push the bill through Parlia- ment against a deadline. One bitterly-contested ruling by Mr. Beaudoin 'sparked an open rebellion against the auth- ority of the chair, numerous opposition MPs storming into the centre aisle to shout at him. CCF leader M. J. Cold- well, now retired, strode to the very foot of the clerk's table, brandishing a clenched fist over the mace and complaining of dictatorship. It was Black Friday, June 1, 1956. When Mr. Diefenbaker. suc- ceeded Mr. Drew as Conserva- tive leader in December that year he embarked on a crusade against abuse of parliamentary rights. He promised to abolish the closure rule and introduced motions in t i MINISTER, WIFE MISSING LEOPOLD VILLE wr) -- Three Canadian Roman Catho- lic nuns, raped and beaten by 'ICongolese rebels, have been rescued by a government force but an American nun and other missionaries were killed in a final orgy of barbarism at Is- angi, in the northern Congo, The Canadian nuns told of the death of the American nun from Bellmore, Yong Island, N.Y., and other missionaries. She was Sister Anna Donni- acuo who had taken the name of Sister Marie Antoinette. The Canadian nuns are from the Sisters of Wisdom order of Ottawa. They are Sister Thecle de Marie (Marguerite Carriere) 56. of Edmundston, N.B.; Sister Gaston (Donia Bedard), 36, Notre Dame de la Paix, Que.; and Sister Yvonne du Bon Pas- teur (Jeannette Vezina), 45, of Montreal.

The officials said the nun was taken away from the school, 50 miles north of here, but returned later.

Three shop unions represent- ing 53,000 machinists, electrical workers and sheet metal work- ers called a strike for next Tuesday. In federal court in Chicago, Judge Joseph Sam Perry di- rected the carriers to prepare a 10-day temporary restraining order and present it to the court Monday. He indicated the court will grant the order at that time and then begin hearing argu- ments on a motion by the car- riers for a permanent injunc- tion against the strike. Wages are the main issue. Many eyes in the business world turned this week to 1965 as 1964 approached an end. The big question: What next? The commerce department and the securities and exchange commission had pl it words about the outlook for spending for business expansion. Their survey of businessmen indicated high optimism. These businessmen, who were polled during November, said they plan to raise their outlays for new facilities in the first six months of 1965 by eight per cent over the average for 1964. This indicates spending will be at an annual rate of $47,700,- 000,000 in the first half, com- pared with an estimated $44,- 700,000,000 for 1964.

Some sources said Peron now can point out OTTAWA (CP) -- Follow- ing is the statement of Privy | Council President Mcliraith to the Commons Friday on the government's intention to invoke closure Monday to terminate the flag debate: Mr. Speaker, we have heard. some 252 speeches on the subject of choosing a flag for Canada. Of. the 252 speeches, 177 have been de- livered by members of the official opposition. was rejected summarily and immediately and, might I add almost with contempt by the leade of the opposition.

Mr. Mcliraith: That still seems to be the position of honorable gentlemen opposite even though since that speech was delivered we have heard a brief but 'eloquently - ex- Breast-Feeding WASHINGTON (AP)--A doc- tor said Friday that women in the upper economic brackets who forego breast-feeding their babies are doing harm--not so }much to their own children as |to those of poorer mothers who |follow the example. Dr. W. H. Sebrell, Jr., of Columbia University, said the impact is particularly marked in underdeveloped countries but also is felt in slum areas in the United States and elsewhere in the Western world. Sebrell spoke at a press con- ference held to summarize con- clusions reached at an interna- tional conference on prevention of malnutrition in pre-school children. He said women who forego breast - feeding but tack and glass, food and beverages, pet- rubber and 'paper A leading U.S. economist ex- pressed the opinion that the ma- jority of forecasters are too pes- for nomic research of the Life In- surance Association, expects the gross national product--total of Wealthy Forego 'Railroad Strike Threat Hangs Over U.S. Economy all goods and services--to reach $660,000,000,000 next year. The Federal Reserve bank of New York said the economy is robust enough to support greater expansion. With automakers driving hard to make up for production lost in strikes, output this week topped the industry record set last week. Plants working over- time turned out an estimated 223,400 cars, compared with 220,668 last week and 188,215. a year ago. Steel production, already cer- tain of setting a record 'this year, posted another gain last week, exceeding the previous week by 0.8 per cent. The commerce department reported that manufacturers ex- pect sales in the current quar- ter to total $112,400,000,000 un- changed from the third quarter, and anticipate a gain in the 1965 first quarter. The government estimated November building outlays were at an annual rate of $65,637,- 000,000, up $406,000,000 from Oc- tober and $565,000,000 ahead of November 1963. ter Christiane Guillaume, and the Dutch priest, a Father Am- merlaan, were thrown into the Congo River to the crocodiles. Isangi was reached Thursday by Maj. Michael Hoare, Irish- born South African commander i a Congolese government 'orce, TALE OF HORROR The Canadian nuns were res- cued by Hoare. Their story was typical of the horror related by the refugees who gave accounts of at least 17 rebel murders of white hostages. The Canadian nuns were among 46 hostages , rescued Thursday at Yangambi farming research station between Isangi and Stanleyville. They told Hoare they had been beaten, raped and made'to dance naked with Catholic priests to amuse the rebels. The Canadian nuns said Sis- ter Marie Antoinette was mur- dered Nov. 19, while the Com- munist - backed rebel "Congo- lese people's republic' still ruled in Stanleyville. They said she was beaten to death in front of them by a hail of blows from rifle butts, sticks and machetes. In Barrie, Ont., a sister of Sister Thecle de Marie said the news she was safe makes a perfect Christmas preent, even if it is two weeks early. Mrs. Emile Potvin of Barrie said "All I could do was cry" when she was told that her sis- ter was safe. TOSSED INTO RIVER Another 75 dazed refugees arriving from Paulis told of persons being tied up by the rebels and tossed into the croc- odile - infested waters of the Nepotko River in the northeast Congo. Only a man, a woman and three children, all Belgians, sur- vived the rebel fury at Mung- bere. Nine others died among the crocodiles. The woman who escaped, a Mrs. Turlot, clung to a floating log for 18 hours after being flung into the river. She finally got out and hid in the- jungle for two days. The' man, Serge Deppe, also managed to keep afloat. The children were not thrown into the water. Refugees said the rebels struck Nov. 25, the day after Stanleyville was seized in a dawn drop by Belgian para- troopers.

Lord Rootes, a penny-an-hour apprentice who became head of an auto firm employing more than 20,000 persons, died at his London home after a long ill- ness. Rootes, known as "Billy," earned one penny an hour as an apprentice at the Singer car factory in Coventry in 1913. After serving in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve during the First World War, he estab- lished the car sales firm of Rootes Limited in partnership with his brother. By 1926, they were the larg- est motor distributors in Eng- land. At this stage the brothers de- cided to start manufacturing and in 1928 formed the Rootes group by acquiring control of the Humber, Hillman and Com- mer companies. _In 1936, Rootes became the first. company to join the Brit- ish government's "shadow fac- tory" plan for the mass pro- duction of planes and aircraft engines. Soon after the out- break of the Second World War Rootes was appointed chairman of the shadow industry plan. In 1941, he became head of the supply council of the minis- try of supply. He also was chairman of the reconstruction committee, which was formed following the crippling air raid on Coventry in November, 1940. Rootes was knighted in 1942. After the war, the Rootes competition. man of the Dollar Exports Jety brothers turned to rebuilding the car industry to meet world Rootes was appointed chair- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, December 12, 1964 3 Says MP OTTAWA (CP)--The "present violent form" of problems in 7a tive member of Parliament said Friday.

United Party Opposition Leader Sir de Villiers Graff has said the law would turn all Negroes outside the rural re- serves into "'a vast. floating la- bor pool from which the gov- ernment could detach individ- ual units from time to time." One provision of the law, which was severely criticized when it passed Parliament, would deprive Negroes of res- idential rights page previ- ously they had a legal¥right to remain in urban areas.

Spacecraft Unscathed PASADENA, Calif. (AP) The U.S. spacecraft Mariner IV has raced unscathed through' the thickest part of the first of three meteor streams it must cross on its 74-month journey to take television pictures of: Mars. a4 The meteor streams are great bands of dust-like micrometeor- ites hundreds of millions of miles long. When earth passes through one of the streams the motes (particles) of cosmic matter burn in the atmosphere as shooting stars. Scientists at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who are guiding the unmanned probe's interplanetary voyage, said Mariner passed through the densest part of the Geminid stream Friday afternoon with no damage reported. Mariner was 2,413,164 miles from earth at 8 a.m. EST to-. day, moving at a speed of 6,966 miles an hour in relation to the earth. It is due to pass within 5,400 miles of Mars next July 14.

Mr. Mcliraith: Most of those speeches have been 40 minutes in length with some a bit shorter and a few a bit longer. This morning we listened to a most outstanding speech by the prime 'minister of Canada, a speech which I am sure in years ahead, when many of us are gone from this place, will serve as an inspiration to young Canadians. In the course of that speech the prime minister made an earnest and sincere plea for Parliament to be given the right of decision on a matter that has been before the House for many weeks, dut- ing which time all the speeches I have referred to have been delivered and dur- ing which time every aspect of the matter, I must say, appears' to have been dealt with.
