(CP Wirephoto) Independents Seek O By LUNNE EDMUNDS LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit- ain's general election campaign has produced a bumper crop of colorful independents. The election Thursday is ex- pected to cost most of them £150 pounds ($450)--the deposit lost by each one who polls less than one-eighth of the total votes cast in his constituency. But some independents, such as a '42-year-old clerk cam- paigning for a return to capital punishment, may help swing in- dividual results. Patrick Dow- ney has picked up emotional support in his campaign to un- seat Sidney Silverman, author of Britain's 1965 anti-hanging bill. Silverman, a Socialist, won by less than 2,500 votes in 1964. The campaign by Downey, whose 10-year-old niece was the victim of a grisly murder, could tip the scales to the Conserva- tive candidate. Much less troublesome is Prime Minister Wilson's long - haired singer opponent, "Screaming Lord Sutch."

OTTAWA (CP)--The federal government, faced with an at- tempt by a Liberal MP to halt the capital punishment debate, may take steps today to bring the issue closer to a vote, George Mcllraith, government House leader, Monday night sought unanimous consent to ex- tend the debate beyond the three days agreed to by all par- ties. But Ralph B. Cowan (L--York Humber), who favors retention of the death penalty, rejected the move. Mr. Mcllraith told the, Com- mons he was reluctant to use a measure in the Commons rule book that would let the debate continue without unanimous consent, Later, in his office, he said the measure will be used. He declined to give any details that might help opposed MPs plan a counter-attack. Forty-eight of the 265 MPs have spoken so far, pith 24 op- posed to the resolution to sub- stitute life imprisonment for the death penalty, 22 in favor and two undecided. WANT MORE TIME Mr. Mcllraith said a canvass of members indicates another day or two might provide enough speaking: time for all MPs who want to participate. The government wants to con- tinue the capital punishment de- bate through today, adjourn it budget speech in the evening, and resume it Wednesday and all of Thursday if necessary. On Friday the government plans to start a four-day debate on the budget. MPs are limited to 20 minute speeches in the capital punish- ment debate and they may speak only once on the main resolution. But an amendment, moved Tuesday by Creditiste Charles- Arthur Gauthier (Roberval) and accepted by Deputy Speaker Herman M. Batten, permits any MP to speak again. Mr. Gauthier's resolution would retain the death penalty for anyone under a life sentence who commits capital murder-- defined in the Criminal Code as planned and deliberdte--and for anyone committing a second capital murder.

(CP) -- The Memorial University cam- pus is to be expanded from its present 141 acres to an area of about 1,100 acres, roughly the size of New York's Central Park. A further expansion of Con- federation Building grounds will link with the expanded campus to give this city a 1,200-acre park on its northern limits. Premier Smallwood said new athletic facilities for the univer- sity will be incorporated into the site but the park would "blend with the countryside." derers of civil and judicial au- for Finance Minister Sharp's|. thorities, police and prison guards and convicts who mur- der while escaping prison was ruled out of order. Liberal cabinet ministers joined .the debate for the first time Monday, with State Secre- tary Judy LaMarsh arguing for retention and Immigration Min- ister Marchand for abolition. Miss LaMarsh said she wanted the death penalty re- tained for rape-murders of young girls and for the murders of policemen and prison guards. Mr. Marchand said society cannot execute murderers when it is partially responsible for the environment that produces them. A society that allowed children to be raised in poverty- ridden slums was in no position to condemn them later. He would favor retention of the death penalty if both the social and judicial systems in the country were perfect. Be- cause there was a risk in the "great human experiment" of abolition, he suggested a five- year trial, period. FAVORS RETENTION Davie Fulton (PC -- Kam- loops), justice minister in the Diefenbaker cabinet, said he would vote for retention be- cause the death penalty is needed to protect society. He was concerned about organized crime rings with "people who sit in comfortable offices and order the elimination of others. He proposed establishment of a special senate-Commons com- mittee to study the question. Gerald W. Baldwin (PC-- Peace River) said MPs who have doubts, qualifications and reservations about their reten- tionist stands have no alterna- tive to voting for abolition be- cause the death penalty is ab- normal and repugnant to the Canadian way of life. He said the country's judicial system is generally good. But because of the human factor it was like a game of roulette in which it is never certain "whether the little ball is going to drop in the proper slot." To those like Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson, who argued that the scripture must be the final authority, Mr. Bald- win said God had endowed peo- ple with intelligence to help them make a decision on the basis of knowledge and experi- ence, 'IMPOSED BY GOD' Mr. Thompson said executions are "the exercise of divine au- thority in the civil sphere" im- posed by God on those who "wilfully take the life of another person." It was the "traditional Christian position." David Lewis (NDP -- York South) said there are leaders in all churches pvho advocate abol- ition. He said society had no right to use the death penalty unless there was overwhelming proof it served a social purpose, Any doubt must be resolved in favor of abolition. Roger Regimbal (PC--Argen- teuil-Deux-Montagnes) said he is in the "ridiculous position" of being an abolitionist who will vote for retention because this Nature trails are planned, swampy ground will be drained and mature trees planted. Mr. Smallwood said the gov- ernment was impatient with the growth of small trees already planted on developed ground and has brought in tree experts to transplant bigger ones. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Merch 29, 1966 9 ° 'Death Penalty Vote May Be Pushed Up particular resolution did not make clear what would replace the death penalty. The resolution would impose a mandatory life sentence on all persons convicted of murder and require the cabinet to give its approval before anyone gained parole. 'ELIMINATE PAROLE' es L. R. Sherman (PC--Winni- g South) said he is an abol- tionist who believes the death penalty is a deterrent to mur- derers. He wanted it replaced with something just as effective, and proposed that murderers should be imprisoned for life with no chance of parole. He was opposed to capital punishment because it "'brutal- izes me and forces me to de- scend to the same level as the murderer." Steve Otto (L--York East) said he will vote for abolition although it might result in "scenes of barbaric cruelty" in prisons on the part of wardens and prison guards against per- sons sentenced to life. Max Saltsman (NDP--Water- loo South) said if he thought re- tention would save the life of one person he would vote against abolition. But there is no proof that the death penalty is a deterrent. Hanging was perhaps an easy way out for a society that still was not prepared to treat and correct "'sick minds and twisted brains." & Paul Tremblay, 51, Can- ada's ambassador to the United Nations, has been Engineers' Strike Said Averted TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- A breakthrough came late Monday on the eve of a threatening engi- neers' strike on opening day of the Great Lakes steel shipping session.
