NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Power Break Started At Niagara TORONTO (CP) -- Hydro Chairman Ross Strike said today that last week's blackout in the United States and Canada was caused by a relay breaking at Sir Adam Beck Hydro was importing a total of 1,600,000 kilowatts in power on the six lines going into the plant and the relay breaking caused all other relays to go out, Mr. Strike told a press conference. The 1,600,000 kilowatts were thrown on to the U.S. distribution facilities, causing a very rapid increase in frequency.

Narrow election - day defeats were turned into narrow vic- tories for Liberals John B. Stewart in Nova Scotia's Anti- gonish - Guysborough riding and Louis-P.. Neveu in Que- bec's Shefford riding. For Mr. Pearson, whose elec- tion campaign appeal for a majority government was de- nied in last Monday's voting, the two-seat gain was the best news he heard all week. The Liberals now hold 131 of the Commons 265 seats, they increase the chances of stability in the House of Com- mons and the prospect of effec- tive action on a program of constructive legislation which the government will be putting forward." OFFERS AID On. Friday, J. A. Mongrain, an independent elected in Trois- Rivieres, sent a message to Mr. Pearson offering "collaboration to assure a_ stable govern- ment." This would give the govern- ment 132 pledged votes in the Commons, providing there are no seat changes resulting from any recounts in the next few weeks, An actual majority is votes only to break ties.
