The convention will be any- where from late spring to early fall. E. A. Goodman, the Toronto lawyer who was chairman of the weekend session, said there was not enough information on accommodation and availability Crown lawyer William Bowman said the application contained an admission by Trus- cott that he killed the girl in a bush at Clinton; Ont., in 1959.

It may come Feb. 12 when the 25-member committee, made up of the party's inner hierarchy, meets again in Toronto. The meeting did decide that constituency delegates would be selected on the basis of revised boundaries under the redistribu- tion process, as advocated by a national association president, Dalton Camp. The decision was seen as a victory for Camp supporters who f dominate the committee. All but one showed up. FAVORS OLD BOUNDARIES Party Leader John Diefen- baker favored delegate selection based on the old boundaries because they give his rural strength more prominence. Mr. Goodman said all deci- sions of the committee were unanimous after all points of view were expressed. Both Camp and Diefenbaker supporters said they were satis- fied with the results of the meeting, ° There was no public sign of t the Diefenbaker's strife over Mr. tenure which internal may be shortened by Mr. Camp's successful campaign last year for a leadership con- I vention. The committee also agreed on the number of delegates-at- large, a point of strong debate between the groups.

Sunday's agreement followed Haste Blamed For Tragedy MOSCOW (CP) -- A. Soviet newspaper Sunday called the three American astronauts killed at Cape Kennedy the "victims" of a U.S. program to get quick results in space. Trud, the newspaper of Soviet labor, blamed the "space drive' on "'leaders of the space program in the United States." It said "hurry and haste in car- rying out flights to outer space" was increasing in the U.S. be- cause of the desire to land a man on the moon.
