(AP) 'Scrap Electoral Maps' Quebec Senator Cries By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- An indig- nant senator, who had more than 30 years experience in the Commons before spending the past 10 years in the upper house, said Wednesday the new electoral maps drawn by 10 quasi judicial commissions should be scrapped, Senator Jean - Francois Pou- liot said the new maps, particu- larly the one prepared for his native Quebec province, repre- sent socialistic bungling, wipe out historic landmarks and have no co-ordination. He said in an interview that rather than write the proposed electoral MPs into law this win- ter, Parliament 'should ~ throw aside the work of the redistri- bution commissions and revert to the old practice of having the maps prepared by a committee of MPs. "It's disparaging to the mem- bers' knowledge of their own! constituencies to turn the job) over to these commissioners. It makes MPs out to be dunces. And the commissioners are, oh; @0 infallible--Jehovahs and Sol- ! SENATOR POULIOT omons rolled into one. Like the Queen, they can do no wrong." Chief points of complaint that raised the senator's ire were Report Proposed No Gags -- On Canada Or U.S.: Author | By DON MacLACHLAN BANFF, Alta. (CP)--An "al- most impossible distortion" of the Heeney-Merchant report on Canadian - American relations has given many persons the idea it proposes to gag the Ca- nadian and United States gov- ernments, co-author Arnold D. P. Heeney said Wednesday, Mr. Heeney told the third an- nual Banff conference on world development that the report is quite clear in suggesting each country should reserve the right to speak out on critical issues, It suggests only that this be al last resort. "Many Canadians_interpreted emphasis on quiet diplomacy, on the avoidance of public dis- agreement, as a proposal to gag the Canadian government and prevent Canadian public! criticism of U.S. external poli- cies, "The text of the report is quite clear. There is categori- cal reservation of what the prime minister subsequently referred to as the right, indeed the responsibility, to speak out when the national interest of Canada requires it." Mr. Heeney, former Canadian ambassador in Washing- ton, added that the report's "proposed restraint on. prema- ture public criticism was . intended to apply and is in- tended to apply to the United States as well as Canada." Mr. Heeney, who prepared the report with Livingston T. Merchant, former U.S. ambas- sador to Ottawa, said: 'Speak- ing out is not an attempt at changes in the electoral map af- fecting his old Commons con- U.S. 'LAB'-COLD WAR GOES COSMIC WASHINGTON . (AP) President Johnson gave the go-ahead Wednesday for a new $1,500,000,000 U.S ven- ture in space, a manned or- biting laboratory that will have military potential. At the same time, John- son described the two-man Gemini 5 flight as "a dra- matic reminder that our American dream for outer . space is a dream of peace," and he invited the Soviet Union to send one of its top scientists to the October launching of Gemini 6. The orbiting laboratories, as the Gemini spacecraft, will carry two-man astro- naut teams, Johnson said the United States. will not orbit weapons of mass destruction, but he also noted the space lahora- tories will enable the U.S. to relate "what man is able to do in space . . . to the defence of America." mn Johnson dealt with a wide assortment of topics in a 40-minute press conference carried live by radio and television. There were no dramatic new. pronounce- ments on the war in Viet Nam, but much of the press conference dealt with the fighting there. American fighting men, Johnson said, "have been giving a very good account of themselves," and the U.S. is united behind them. But Johnson said what the U.S. wants in Viet Mam is negotiations and peace -- and he hopes the whole world knows it. "So peace -- peace, that simple little five-letter word - -- is the most important word in the English Jan- guage to us at this time," Johnson said, "and it occtte pies more of our attention than any other word or any other subject.'"' ncn LONDON (Reuters)--The United States has told Brit- ain it might suspend bomb- ing attacks on North Viet stituency of Temiscouata and neighboring ridings, and changes in the names of ridings in the Quebec City district. The Quebec Commission headed by Mr. Justice Paul Langlois of the Superior Court drew the lines of the new con- stituency of Temiscouata in such a way that the old ridings' principal community, Riviere- du-Loup, now falls in neighbor- ing Kamouraska. But what is worse, the new map drops historic Quebec names and substitutes others, senator Pouliot complained, Gone are de la Naudiere, Madeleine de Vercheres' mar- ried name; Compton, the birth- place of Louis St. Laurent; Ar- thabaska, where the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier began his ca- reer; and both Wolfe and Mont- calm. New names on the map in- clude Duvernay, the founder of the St. Jean Baptiste Societies, and Limoulin, the hamlet near St. Malo in Britanny where dis- coverer Jacques Cartier was mM. And what the senator found even more upsetting, the new) maps do not include the name of Quebec itself, anywhere. Gone are the old ridings of Quebec East, Quebec West, and Quebec jouth. In their places are the names of Louis Hebert, the first Que- bec farmer, and angelier, a lieutenant - governor, Both have already been honored by having Quebec streets named after them. What Senator Pouliot suggests is naming the three Quebec City ridings Abraham, Tresor and Sault - au - Matelot. Abraham would be named after Abraham Martin, a son-in-law of Louis Hebert from whom the Plains of -|Abraham got their name. Tresor, the senator said puck- ishly, represents the cultural centre of Quebec City. La Rue Tresor now is occupied by art shops and sidewalk painters.

(AP) -- As- tronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad smashed the world space endurance record held by the Soviet Union today --a major victory for the United States in the race for the moon. The historic moment came at 9:06 a.m. EDT. Flight Director Christopher C.

"At last, huh?" Cooper re- plied. Sitting at his control console in Gemini Control a few min- utes earlier, Kraft watched the second hand on the clock as it the record mark. The Soviet record for a sin- gle flight--broken by Gemini 5 --was 119 hours, six minutes, set by cosmonaut Valery By- kovsky in June, 1963. hurtled on toward a new mark of eight days in orbit. At 9:19 a.m. EDT Gemini 5 had completed 75 orbits. Before the day is out, the United States will have still an- other record. At 2:01 p.m, EDT, the U.S. astronaut corps will have logged more man hours in space than all the Soviet cos- monauts, Cooper and Conrad will have 124 hours in Gemini 5 at that point, putting the log of 507 hours, 16 minutes. In the early morning, the Gemini 5 spacecraft flashed past the 2,000,000-mile mark-- nearly two-thinds of the way home in its orbital ordeal. "Gemini's go up here," was the word from the small glint of light in the sky. BUSY WITH ROUTINE The astronauts were given a go-ahead for a sixth day in space.

On the Gemini 5's 68th orbit, Conrad reported a strange phenomenon--"one of the more spectacular sights of our flight.'" It was just before sunset, with the sun's rays streaming from behind the spacecraft, when either the hydrogen or oxygen tanks vented gas into the super-cold void of space. "It looked like 7,000,000 stars as the astronauts slept on and off, and the spacecraft sped on passing by the window," Con- rad said.
