Sweeping Revision Slated Canada's Criminal Code OTTAWA (CP)--A_ sweeping revision of the Criminal Code will be introduced in Parliament at an early date, the govern- ment forecast Monday in the throne speech. The code has remained largely unchanged for decades and most of its sections have been attacked as outdated and unduly harsh. . The proposals will include re- » peal of the long-standing ban on «the dissemination of birth-con- "trol information and devices; a t free vote on the abolition of cap- ©ital punishment and changes in «the abortion sections. Abolition Sof corporal punishment also is »expected. * The throne speech added that 'divorce laws and the procedures ¢of all administrative tribunals "will be reformed to protect the retights of the individual. : "XPECTS FREE VOTE en government spokesman said * the divorce proposals likely will «be put to a vote free of party "lines, as in the case of cap- "ital punishment. Arrangements "would be discussed with oppo- At present, adultery is the only ground for divorce except for rare cases. The speech gave no details but stated: "You will be asked to examine legal procedures and administration, not only with a view to their efficiency, but also as regards their sim- plicity and efficacy in so far as the individual citizen is con- cerned." The speech made no mention of a proposal in the 1965 throne speech to appoint a royal com- mission to study the advisability of appointing an ombudsman or parliamentary commissioner to investigate taxpayers' com- plaints of unfair treatment against the federal bureauc+ racy. Five or six provinces plan to appoint such officials. By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--A hot - eyed socialist rebel and a tradition- loving Tory right-winger were parliamentary allies today in an apparently futile bid to block Prime Minister Wilson's road to Europe.

Under the government bill Introduced by Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner, the municipal 'board is authorized to require "compensating grants be made -to a county whenever the change in boundaries would de- prive the county of at least 15 per cent of its assessment over any three-year period. son. Revolt against the govern- ment's decision simmered angrily in the Commons Mon- day night even as Wilson ap- peared on television to outline Britain's position, as he did ear- lier in an 85-minute parliamen- tary speech. AMENDMENT TABLED Two hours after Wilson sat down in the 630-member Com- mons after his marathon speech, Labor dissidents tabled an amendment to the govérn- ment motion approving entry.

Constitution Study Due OTTAWA (CP) -- The whole problem of constitutional devel- opment will be considered by Parliament after the govern- ment has completed studies of the best way to proceed, the Speech from the throne said at Monday's opening of the centen- nial session of Parliament. "During the past 100 years the world has changed beyond the recognition of anything with- in the experience of those who laid the foundations of Confed- eration," the speech said. "The government is aware of its unique responsibility to en- sure that our fundamental law ts readily adaptable to our changing social needs. "Tt is also conscious that the advantages and disadvantages of the present constitutional structure are deeply _ inter- twined." that could better illustrate the scrooge - like niggling attitude of the government." He predicted many elderly persons who desperately need the tax deferments won't seek them "because they don't want to accumulate liens on their property." SEES IMPROVEMENT Mrs. Ada Pritchard (PC -- Hamilton Centre) said the bill is better in some respects than similar legislation granted the city of Hamilton. She said the Hamilton bill required 10 years' residence in the city, limits aid Both opposition parties wel- comed the principle of lending aid to persons on fixed incomes. FAVOR GRANTS However, they suggested the government should change the tax deferment into a form of homeowner grant. : Opposition Leader Robert Nixon said the bill as it stood "is of some limited use but is far from satisfactory." He said the idea of placing liens on estates in return for government aid once was em- ployed in old-age pensions legis- lation. He termed the bill "regressive." The Liberal leader said el- derly homeowners have already paid their share of education taxes and should be relieved of the burden once and for all. Kenneth Bryden (NDP--Tor- onto Woodbine) recalled that in infroducing the bill, Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner said it would only be an interim mea- sure, pending release of the report of the Ontario committee on taxation. SEES NO OBJECTION Mr. Bryden said that if the legislation really was intended to be stop-gap, the government should have no objection to The speech contained a lengthy review of the back- ground to Confederation in 1867 and the stresses and strains in moulding the country under it. Governor - General Michener, reading the speech to assembled senators and MPs in the Senate chamber, switched frequently from English to French.
