Today's approval removed a major hurdle in the struggle to solve West Germany's month- old government crisis. It came after 10 hours of heated debate and followed. widespread pro- tests against the decision by thousands of party members. The Social Democratic execu- tive, finance committee and leaders of state organizations voted 72 to 19 in favor of an al- liance with the ruling eso: | Democrats. The party's gartiaaeiatain group was slated to consider the issue at a meeting later today, jbut its approval was considered ja certainty after the early- morning vote by top party lead- ers. 1 |' Kiesinger was expected to an- hounce the. composition of his coalition government. toda y. |Brandt, West Berlin's mayor, will be his deputy and hinted that he also would be the new |foreign minister. RHODESIAN REBELLION LONDON (CP) ---Britain is seeking further clarification from Prime Minister Ian Smith on the so-called "minor con- cessions" he has offered in the search for Rhodesian settle- ment, an informant said today. He said Commonwealth Sec- 'retary Herbert Bowden left a number of questions in Salis- bury to be answered by the Rhodesian minority white leader Wednesday. Smith has pepe to do so. While details of these ome sions were not disclosed, it is understood they deal with Prime Minister Wilson's six basic principles for terminating the Rhodesian crisis. Smith .apparently expressed readiness to yield some ground on such issues as Negro repre- sentation in a proposed Rhode- sian senate, the lifting of press censorship, the widening of vot- ing power by some Rhodesian Negroes and an exd to the year- old illegal declaration of inde- pendence.

A series of written questions have been placed on the Com- mons order paper by Andrew Brewin, New Democratic MP FOR Toronto Greenwood and a lawyer. Mr. Brewin wants to know whether federal contracts have been awarded to H. J. O'Copnell Ltd. He seeks details about "'so- licited contributions made to both 'political parties," which were mentioned in passing in a tax appeal board judgment: is- sued Nov. 2. The board judgment summar- izes secret tetimony given by J. R. Thibeault, comptroller of H. J. O'Connell Ltd. It says he was recalled by the revenue de- partment's counsel and adds: "In the appellant's (H. J.

Mr. Sopha said in a statement today he is "dismayed" that much of the genesis of the movement "emanated from our colleagues in the federal field." "For my own part, L would have been exceedingly enthus- jastid., if some person with proven political experience and national stature in our party had offered himself to the role of leadership in Ontario." Mr. Templeton, who is not a member of the legislature, ran second to Andrew vata 3 in 6 a hotly - contested le adership contest two years ago. Third in that race was Robert . Nixon, MLA for Brant, who bécame house leader Nov. 17, the day after Mr. Thompson resigned as provincial leader. because of poor health WILL NOT SEEK POSITION Mr. Tempteton said a week ago and again Monday that he will not seek the leadership, at a convention Jan. 7. Mr. Sopha said: "A week ago I was greatly relieved, as I am _ confident thousands of other principled Liberals throughout Ontario were, by Mr. -Templeton's seem- ingly irrevocable decision to abandon. his attempted coup d'etat of the leadership "T felt... that in doing so CHARLES TEMPLETON in running again?
