"It is easy to be wise after an event, but it looks as if se- curity arrangements in Parlia- ment are surprisingly lax," said Johannesbure's Rand Daily Mail in an editorial. Referring to Verwoerd's as- sassin, The Cape Times asked: "How was it that a foreigner and rolling stone could be ap- Yointed as a messenger in the precincts of Parliament" Verwoerd, who would have been 65 today, was fatally stab- bed Tuesday as he sat in Par- liament by a messenger..who was hired only last month. The man, Dimitri Tsafendas, was a native of Portuguese Mozambi- que but reported to be a nat- uralized South African. Verwoerd is to be given a state funeral Saturday.

Acting every bit like a candi- date, Ky spoke in Tay Ninh, capital of Tay Ninh province on the Cambodian border, where he tried to rouse support for the election Sunday among mem- bers of the Cao Dai religious sect. The voting will be for a 117- man constituent assembly to draw up a constitution to be submitted to the military junta. National elections for a civilian government are expected to grow out of this initial experi- ment by the generals with dem- ocratic procedure. Ky said a tentative date of November, 1967, for the presi- dential election had been men-| tioned at-a recent meeting of the policy making national di- rectory. "My opinion is that we can have it earlier --in March, 1967," he said.

N THE LANDREVILLE CASE MPs Hope Judge May Yet Resign OTTAWA (CP) -- While Mr.jlic, demanded a hearing before Justice Leo Landreville will get|a parliamentary committee. his "day in court," there seems to be no disposition on the part of parliamentarians to re-hear all the evidence taken by Ivan Rand in his inquiry into the judge's fitness to remain on the bench. Mr. Rand, retired justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, concluded that Mr. Justice Lan- dreville was neither a fit nor proper person to occupy a place on the bench of the Supreme Court of Ontario. But long before he presented| these conclusions to Justice Minister Cardin, Mr. Justice} Landreville had been under con- siderable pressure to resign The judge rejected all these efforts and, after Mr Rand's| 'damning report was made pub-|Sudbury when the gas company' h y The federal cabinet decided he should have this hearing and has proposed that Commons and Senate set up a 24-member committee to examine Mr. Rand's report and hear Mr Justice Landreville. OPPOSE FULL HEARING An informal canvass of MPs indicates that no one favors re hearing the extensive evidence placed before Mr. Rand about Mr. Justice Landreville's con- duct, The central point was the judge's acceptance of a large block of stock from Northern Ontario Natural Gas after he went to the bench in 1957. Pre- viously he had been mayor of was negotiating a franchise with the municipality. There seems to be a linger- ing hope among parliamentari- ans that after he has his say before the committee Mr. Jus- tice Landreville will resign. If he did, that would save the committee from making a de- cision either to recommend his impeachment by Parliament or to approve his conduct Some members feel that re- gardless of what is placed be- fore the committee the judge's usefulness as a*fhember of the bench is ended. To get a clean, bill of health from the committee would' re quire, in the view of MPs, serious challenge of the facts and the inferences of the Rand report. Even if Mr. Jus- many |Commons ithat the judge be removed from jthe bench. Such a step would ibe the first in Canadian history strate that Mr. Rand was wrong in his facts and conclusions, his position on the Ontario bench would remain difficult. One reason is that the Ontario bar, many of whose members would practise before him,"twok a hand in efforts to have his stock transaction investigated. As matters now stand, the committee is likely to receive the Rand report, invite Mr. Jus- tice Landreville to. show where it is in error and then wind up hearings by weighing the Rand \view against that of the judge. | The ultimate penalty, if the jcommittee accepts Mr. Rand's iviews, is a joint resolution of and Senate asking tice Landreville could demon-'against a high court judge. t is : MR.

"How many times does this same process have to go on?" Mr,_.Pickersgill asked Mr. Churchill replied that the 1964 procedure was a good one| and should be repeated now. The bill outlines a new trans- portation policy, frees railways. from the freight-rate freeze es- tablished by the previous Dief- enbaker government and _per- mits gradual abandonment of some uneconomic branch lines. A main aim in ending the freight-rate freeze is to permit railways to adjust revenues to pay for wage increases.

Singapore earlier recom- mended the use of limited force to back up tougher sanctions. But neither of the Asian coun- tries asked--as some African nations have done--for Britain to smash Rhodesia's breakaway regime with British soldiers. Sir Albert Margai, firebrand prime minister of Sierra Leone, tiny West African country, em- phasized today that the essen- tial aim is majority rule before legal independence is granted to Rhodesia. Observers calculated, mean- while, that African demands for withholding independence until there is African majority rule have won backing from most of the Commonwealth leaders meeting here. WILSON HAS PROBLEM British Prime Minister Wilson now faces the problem of find- ing some formula that will sa- 4 a, Zamhia Singh spoke on the third day of the conference, which Wed- nesday heard Zambia demand force. and Singapore support some form of limited force to back up wider ; sanctions on other vital products besides oil. Asked whether Prime . Minis- ter Wilson made a mistake in putting aside the use of force against Rhodesia, the Indian for- eign minister said'"'if there was an error in judgment, we went along with it" at the last Com- monwealth conference in Lagos, Nigeria. As Haksar stressed that India, with its 450,000,000 people, is lynchpin of the new Common- wealth. It set the pattern when it re- mained within the Common- wealth on obtaining indepen- dance in 1947. Haksar spoke warmly of how 700,000,000 peo- ple have come to independence throughout the Commonwealth in the last 19 years. The Indians struck the same note as Arnold Smith of Can- ada,-.Commonwealth secretary- general, with a statement that the Rhodesian question was not one of black versus white, or Britain versus other Common- wealth countries, "All of us are in it," Haksar declared. Asked whether India might leave the Commonwealth in sympathy with a_ threatened . - -- Commonwealth prime minis-| ike wad ring Down India, Singapore Exert Influence |tisty his Commonwealth ¢ol- leagues.

Spokesman P. N, Haksar, dep> uty high commissioner in Lon- don, declined to say specifically whether India is in favor of force. But the tenor of his re- marks indicated force had to be considered if all other measures failed. Haksar expressed earnest hope for a joint Commonwealth solution to the Rhodesian prob- lem rather than a solution India' or any other indi country. He emphatically rejected suggestion that Britain is to "sell out' the Negro @ajor- ity in Rhodesia, stating that the British Labor government and people are far too wise for that, ; dal Smith Regime withdrawal by Zambia and some other African countries, Haksar said: "our whole approach is that there should be no break," He 'spoke of the hy yemae | disporportion between the size the problem and the apparent ineffectiveness" of the vast Commonwealth to deal with it. Rhodesia's tiny white popula- tion of 220,000--many of them British immigrants--were defy+ ing more than 700,000,000 peo- ple, he said. WON'T BE TIED DOWN Asked whether he had specifie proposals, Haksar said India felt that at this stage it must not tie itself down to "cut and dried solutions."
