The decision was received with bitterness by western Con- servatives, especially MPs who spearheaded a fight against Mr. Camp's call for a leadership re- assessment. There was even talk of the MPs forming their own Diefen- ene eC | his election, Mr, Camp ruled himself out as a candidate but said he wouldn't refuse a draft if no one else is nominated. He made a plea to the con- vention for unity, Mr. Maloney responded by saying that any work for unity by Mr, Camp will get his full support. Mr. Maloney also told a re- porter he has no leadership am- bitions or intentions, The two men met privately in Mr, Maloney's hotel suite after the vote was announced.

Border Dispute Solution Sought STARR REAFFIRMS LEADERSHIP BID OTTAWA (Special) I On- tario riding MP Michael Starr today re - confirmed his in- tention to contest Progres- sive Conservative leadership whenever a leadership con- vention is held. Mr, Starr said a decision to call a convention rests with delegates who wind-up their three + day meeting here today, Commenting on the Camp- Maloney battle for the pre- sidency, Mr. Starr said there was no doubt the Camp sup- porters had packed the meet- ting hall in advance of party leader John Diefenbaker's speech Monday night. "Three - quarters of those who were in the hall were not voting delegates," said Mr, Starr. "I feel it is time the party made sure it has large enough meeting rooms to accommodate all delegates and decide that annual meet- ings last for a week rather than three days." Mr. Starr said he was dis- appointed that Arthur Mal- oney had not been elected national president but that he was -pleased the vote was close. He said he hoped after a period of re + adjustment the party would be able to | re-unite. accept the presidency decision as the signal to hand in his resignation. But those close to Mr. Diefen- baker said he doesn't see it that way. They predicted he will carry on the fight, especially in view of the close vote, right to any leadership convention the party may call, However, other Diefenbaker men said the Conservative Jeader. will make an early choice between resigning and leading loyalists out of the party. Douglas Harkness, whose cabinet resignation Feb. 3, 1963, touched off a series of leader. ship crises, said of Mr. Diefen- baker: "He's got to go and in a rea- sonable time," Dr, Lewis Brand, MP for Sas- katoon, was typical of many western members when shortly after the announcement of Mr, Camp's victory he said he and many other are reassessing their place in the party. But Alvin Hamilton, former agriculture minister and MP for Qu"Appelle, Sask., said he will not join nor help any move of western members out of the party. The presidential race indi- cated lack of confidence in the leader, It wasn't a repudiation of him, Mr. Hamilton said, Jack McIntosh, MP for Swift Current-Maple Creek, said the vote resulted from an East- West split in the party and "I don't think I'll be alive by the time it heals." The Camp victory also was reflected in balloting for party officers, Flora MacDonald of Sydney, N.S,, the party's senior organ- izer at headquarters until na- tional director James Johnston fired her last. spring, -was elected party secretary, defeat- ing incumbent Ken Binks of Ot- tawa, a Diefenbaker man, Finlay MacDonald of Halifax, dian, "Conservative, and:-Cauap y rvative " supporter im that order, 'we clainied national vice-president for the Atlantic provinces, TORONTO (CP) -- The joint strike committee of Toronto's two postal unions will meet to- day to 'discuss membership complaints about a wage settle- ment announced in Ottawa Tuesday night. Local leaders of both the Let- ter Carriers' Union of Canada and the Canadian Union of Pos- tal Workers said their mem- ers are unhappy with the settle- ment and with the decision that they would not be given an op- portunity to vote on it. There have been some de- mands that the terms be sub- mitted to a membership vote even though the national nego- tiators had been given author- ity to accept a contract. OTTAWA (CP)--If you were all set to mail those Christmas cards real early this year, for- get it. The threat of a national postal strike died Tuesday night, After six days of mediation by Mr. Justice Andre Montpetit, pay crease for most of their 20,000 |members. "They asked for $1 and they got 25 cents," a jubilant Rev- "jenue Minister Benson told a press conference. Settlement Ends Mail Strike Threat The postal union leaders were reserved in their comments and said '"'full demands" can be made next year under coming collective bargaining legislation. The settlement, announced two hours before the midnight deadline the unions had set to call a strike, covers the 10- month period from Oct, 1, 1966, to July. 31,. 1967, It specifies that no strikes take place during that period, The postal unions wanted an immediate 50-cent hourly in- crease and another 50 cents next year under a two-year contract --in effect a 39-per-cent pay in- crease. The 10 - month settlement amounts to about 10 per cent. It lifts the maximum wage of a postal clerk 2, the key cate- gory, to $2.75 hourly from $2.50 and that of a letter carrier to $2.63 from $2.38. Supervisory letter carriers, mail despatchers, mail handlers and postal chauffeurs also bene-| fit. Roger. Decarie,..z the: 9,000-member Letter Car- riers Union of Canada, said the increase did not meet his hopes. But the postal unions nad set a new pattern of negotiations with the federal government. nresident of KINGSTON (CP) David Lockett, dismissed as. a justice of the peace two years ago, says that during his 15 years in office he "performed many fa- ' and "saw many per- formed by the administrators of justice for politicians."
