HEAVY SORROW, BUT PRIDE WAS DOMINANT EMOTION Given Break MONTREAL (CP)--Guy Rou- leau, natty, 41-year-old Liberal MP who resigned Nov. 24 as Prime Minister Pearson's par- liamentary secretary, has a 10- day break before re-entering the witness box at the Dorion inquiry Feb. 9 at Ottawa. The inquiry into allegations of attempted bribery and _ influ- ence-peddling in high places in Ottawa is adjourned until that date after a week of testimony by Mr. Rouleau, Raymond Denis, accused of making the bribe offer, and nine other wit- nesses; \ A total of 35 witnesses now have appeared at the 19 days of hearings and the end is far from in sight. Some witnesses will be recalled and new ones will be summoned. One of the witnesses--murder suspect Robert Gignac, 35-- likely wil! be charged with per- jury. Chief Justice Frederic Dorion, who heads the inquiry, said parts of Gignac's testimony--he didn't specify them--will be transmitted to Quebec Attorney- General Claude Wagner so that sad-Faced Queen Leads World's Farewell By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP) -- For a brief half-hour of solemn pomp and sad pride today, the towering marble dome of St. Paul's Cath- edral guarded three of the greatest heroes in English his- tory. The body of Sir Winston Churchill, shrouded in the Union Jack, lay on a black velvet ca- tafalque directly above the crypt where Admiral Lord Nel- son and the Duke of Wellington are buried. But neither of those heroic fig- ures was honored as Churchill was honored today, with a sad- faced Queen. leading the world's farewell to the man who sym- bolized British strength and greatness as no man has sym- bolized it before. Though heavy with sorrow, pride. was the. dominant emo- tion in- the huge, history-steeped cathedral -- ramrod - backed British pride in the unique man lying under the flag who in wife, sat in the centre of the its row behind the Queen, Next to procession of heralds, 'WE.-SHALL NOT SEE...HIS...LIKE ~--Edmonton Journal AGAIN' the death could. summon so much of a grief-stricken world to his side. In two long rows on either side of the royal-blue carpeted aisle sat the rest of the som- brely-clad Royal Family -- the Queen Mother and her grand- son, Prince Charles; Princess Margaret and'her husband the Earl of Snowdon; the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and their two sons; the Duke and Duchess of Kent; Princess' Marina of Kent who lost her husband in the Battle of Britain, with her younger son Prince Michael and her daughter Princess Alexan- - dra. Never had British royalty turned out in such force to honor one outside the Royal Family. Behind the royal _ pews stretched. two long lines of for- eign and Commonwealth repre- sentatives and Britain's political leaders. Canadian Prime Minis- ter Lester Pearson, with his him was Alex Quaison-Sackey of Ghana, president of the United Nations General Assembly, The bared and black-hatted heads stretched away into the shadowy side chapels, hung with battle flags. Among the throng was the Canadian Opposition leader, John Diefenbaker, New- foundland Premier Joseph Smallwood, Quebec Agent-Gen- eral Hugues: Lapointe, repre- senting Premier Lesage, and High Commissioner Lionel Chevrier. A ripple of expectancy ran through the vast crowd as those near the great west door heard \ the rumble of the gun carriage drawing up at the steps and the crunch of military. boots as the massive procession ended its long, historic 'haul through Lon- don's streets As the packed, hushed cathe- dral waited for the coffin with mood seemed aptly distilled in the towering presence of Charles de Gaulle of France, last sure vivor of the great wartime lead- ers who had mobilized democ- racy against Adolf Hitler. The six-foot-four French pres ident 'stood out strigingly in his simple, unadorned general's uni- form against the braided and foreign head of state seated with him: facing the bier. There were King Frederik of Den- mark, King Olav of Norway, young King Constantine of the Hellenes, Queen Juliana of The Netherlands with her husband, Prince Bernhard. All eyes were on the black vel- vet catafalque, resting 'on a plinth covered in rich, dark red carpet. Six towering orange can- dies in seven-foot-high ornate bronze holders guarded it, their flames sending up thin wisps of smoke into the recesses of the galleried dome. The Queen and Prince Philip on their special carved gilt chairs sat at the foot of the bier --the Queen slender and ivory- pale in her black coat and hat, Prince Philip in naval uniform. Outside, drawn up in a double line from the door to the edge of the steps, the heralds and of- ficers of arms in their brilliant mediaeval tabards drew slowly together as the coffift was lifted from the gun carriage by its tall Guardsmen bearers. Headed by Canadian-born Dr. Conrad Swan, 'rouge dragon pursuivant," and Col. Robert Dennis, "rouge croix,'"' the 17- man procession of heralds moved slowly into the cathedral with a measured, stride, In an old custom of chivalry observed at the Duke of Well- ington's funeral, - four. heralds carried the knightly "achieve- ments"---sword, shield, helmet crést and spurs--of Sir Winston. Four more carried silk cushions with his decorations. Slowly, they came down the carpeted aisle to the waiting bier. The weight of emotion was almost tangible as the red, white and blue flag on the coffin came into view. On either side walked the pall bearers, includig Field Marshal Earl Alexander, for- mer Governor-General of Can- ada. FAMILY FOLLOWS Behind the coffin came the mourning family -- 79-year-old Lady Churchill, aristocratic and upright; silver-haired Randolph Churchill with the leonine head of his father; Sarah, the actress daughter, and Mary Soames, her mother's greatest strength through the long death watch at Hyde Park Gate. As the procession moved slowly through the marble-pil- See--Sad-Faced Queen (Continued on' Page 2) By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--Sir Winston Churchill received awesome final tribute in a state funeral today and then, beneath salut- ing jet fighter planes, his body was borne along the Thames en route to his last resting place in the heart of England. Guns boomed out a. 19-gun salute--the first time a com- moner has received any more than 17 guns--as the remains of the warrior-statesman were placed aboard a launch for his last short voyage on the Thames, river highway of his- tory. The homage by queens, kings, presidents and prime ministers was over. So was the martial splendor and solemnity, the pageantry and pomp, dying away in the strains of a lament by kilted pipers. Britain and the world, in ef- fect, thus returned Sir Winston to the hands of his loved ones for burial at Bladon, Oxford- shire, besides his parents in a village churchyard near Blen- heim Palace, his birth place. Churchill, as a young soldier, left home to join a cavalry regi- ment. Today men of the regi- ment, the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, carried his coffin to the train' for what 'was called "the long mile home." The profound, mute emotion of the hundreds of thousands along Sir Winston's funeral route from Westminster was re- flected with, if possible, greater intensity when the coffin reached St. Paul's, where throngs had waited 15 hours or more on the street. The Queen, Prince Philip and Queen Mother Elizabeth, along with other members of the Royal Family, already were in the church when the bier arriv- ed. Borne By Barge' To Final Rest ¢ An epic circle had been come pleted, The cream-and-black train, drawn by the old steam loco- motive named Winston Church- ill, left Waterloo station and passed through such towns as Twickenham and Virginia Wa» +! on the 72-mile trip to Bla- on. The peaceful Oxfordshire scene contrasted with the state funeral in which more than 1,- 000,000 persons--by police esti- mate--lined the route of the procession from Westminster to St. Paul's Cathedral for the service attended by the Queen and many world leaders. Among those attending the service, the predominant f was said to be pride as we as mourning--pride at Chur- chill's achievements as virtual savior of Britain a generation ago, The body of, Sir Winston, who frequently made trips in battle- ships and other large vessels of the fleet, was then taken to the Tower of London Pier and placed aboard the launch Hay- engore for the short voyage across the Thames to Festival Pier, and thence to Waterloo, It probably would have ap- pealed to Sir Winston's puckish sense of humor that at one point his procession passed be- neath an astronimical cloek whose face bears his likeness, Profound, Mute Emotion Of Respectiul Mourners The monarch thus gave prece- dence in death to the most hon- ored commoner, a de- scribed as unusual if not unique. An almost painful silence reigned as units of the long funeral procession arrived, horsemen in a blaze of color, marching men in subdued hues. Their banners told in heraldry of Britain's glory through the ages. (Continued on Page 2) See Awesome.
