Dixon, dismissed as vice- principal of Crestwood second- ary school because of his ideas on discipline, said today he re- gards students "as individuals with as much worth as I have." Mr. Dixon made the comment in an interview following the appearance at a school board meeting Wednesday night of students and parents protesting his dismissal effective at the end of the school term. Lorne Reynolds, board chair- man, said after the meeting the board has no intention of changing its decision. He told the meeting Mr. Dixon's contract was not re- newed at the insistance of "au- thorities in high places."" He declined to elaborate. He said that during the seven months Mr. Dixon has been vice - principal "there have been more disciplinary prob- lems brought to the board than in the same period before his taking the post."

Cowan's Efforts OTTAWA (CP)--Liberal MP Ralph Cowan's efforts to find out how much the CBC has paid two Toronto professors since Jan. 1, 1961, continued in the Commons Thursday. Private members' hour was devoted to debate on a motion by Mr. Cowan (York--Humber) for production of all corre- spondence since that time be- tween the state secretary and any government agency on pay- ments made to professors John T. Saywell and John C. Ricker. The motion also asks a de- tailed list on payments made by the CBC to each of them. Mr. Cowan and other MPs complained that the CBC has consistently refused to give such information to Parliament. The Toronto MP contrasted this refusal with a statement early this year by CBC Presi- dent Alphonse Ouimet on "the right of the Canadian public to information."

Daniel Latouche of Montreal, a graduate student in political science at the University of British Columbia, said Quebec lost too much energy before 1960 because "the few bright people we had got sucked into the federal system." Mr. Latouche was guest speaker at a 434-hour discussion of French-English student rela- tions at Second Century Week. He also said he was tired of explaining Quebec to English- 64-37 in Edmonton.

Thursday night that he had sent his resignation to Premier Ro- "Saw No Landrevi OTTAWA (CP)--Mr. Justice Leo Landreville maintained un- der sharp questioning Thursday that he saw nothing improper in his 1957 stock market wind- fall of $117,000. Testifying for the fourth day before a Commons-Senate com- mittee studying his conduct, he said he received 7,500 shares in fast-rising gas stock free of charge because of his friend- ship with the company presi- dent, Ralph Farris, and because Mr. Farris kept a promise he had made the previous year. He denied that the shares were a reward for helping Northern Ontario Natural Gas Co. to get the Sudbury gas franchise while he was mayor in 1956. The judge was named to the Ontario Supreme Court in Oc- tober, 1956, and now faces pos- sible removal from the bench for improper conduct. The com- mittee must recommend for or against his removal. Mr. Justice Landreville testi- fied that Mr. Farris promised in July, 1956, to sell him 10,000 NONG shares at $2.50 each and to consider hiring him the next year as a company executive in Northern Ontario. After his judicial appoint- ment, Mr. Farris had told him he would still get the shares. The following February, 2,500 NONG shares were sold at $10 each in the judge's name by a Vancouver broker and the iudge received 7,500 shares free. He later sold them for $117,000. Committee counsel Yves For- tier asked why the judge re- ceived this preferential treat- ment from NONG. Wrong' lle Says "Because Farris kept word," the judge replied. Richard Cashin (L--St. John's West) asked whether the stock deal did not give rise to suspi- cions of impropriety. The judge replied that he could 'di of the ici of informed persons, but he was powerless to dispel the suspi- cions of uninformed persons. Ovide Laflamme (L--Quebec- Montmorency), committee co- chairman, asked repeatedly whether the manner in which the transaction was made in 1957 did not arouse "serious suspicions." FORGOT NAME He noted that the judge had ordered someone in Vancouver to sell 2,500 shares for $25,000, but did not remember to whom he had spoken on the telephone, nor did he know the real value of the shares. The judge said he could only repeat his earlier testimony at various hearings that he is not sure who called him from Van- couver and that he did not know at the time that unlisted NONG shares were being sold at $13 instead of $10. He 'said the $3 difference on each of the 2,500 shares sold by Continental Investments Co. went to Continental President John McGraw. Switching to French in reply to Mr. La- flamme, he added: "I received a long distance call from Vancouver. I was un- der the impression it was the Continental office, and I -epeat that now. . . . It's quite probable that Farris instructed Conti- nental to offer me the shares." his Confirm Their TORONTO (CP)--Two mem- bers of the Niagara parks com- mission confirmed Thursday that they have submitted their resignations but Premier Ro- barts said in answer to a ques- tion in the legislature that "there are no vacancies." Reports published Tuesday said five provincially appointed members of the 1l-man com- mission had submitted their resignations, apparently as a result of differences with Chair- man James N. Allan, former provincial treasurer. Those named were: Ellis Two Niagara Parks Members Dean Andrews Jr., a tig- ure in District Attorney Jim Garrison's probe who told the Warren Commission he thought Lee Harvey Oswald was a "patsy", leaves the grand jury room in New Resignations resignation and it had not been accepted.

Rewritten Draft TORONTO (CP)--A rewritten draft of a private bill validating actions of the London board of education in providing life in- surance for superannuated em- ployees won quick approval by the legislature's private bills committee Thursday. In its original form the bill brought criticism from commit- tee members last week for not requiring the board to replace the insurance program event- ually with one meeting term of the Schools Administration Act. London Mayor Gordon, Stron- ach continued to oppose the bill Thursday saying it implied fault on the part of the school board when in fact the insurer retary Judy LaMarsh Thursday denied saying in Philadelphia that Canada welcomes Ameri- cans who leave the avoid the draft. erence she was not responsible for immigration but that "any individual who came to this country was free to enter it." in Fulton (PC -- Kamloops), who asked whether the minister's "purported" statement in Phil- adelphia that those evading the draft laws would be welcomed in Canada represented govern- ment policy. mation was erroneous. and school administrators had allowed the old plan to become actuarily unsound.

Andrews, who claims he only knew Lee Harvey Oswald casually, was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. --AP Wirephoto VICTORIA (CP) -- The Brit- ish Columbia Social Credit gov- ernment Thursday introduced a bill in the B.C. legislature set- ting up stiff regulations on con- sumer protection. The measure provides uni- form minimum contents of con- tracts for sales made by door- to-door salesmen and a '"'cool- ing off' period of three days during which the contract can be cancelled by the purchaser.
