Mr, Diefenbaker, who has not said publicly whether he will seek another term at the con- vention here Sept. 5-9, has made moves recently that con- firm to Conservatives here he's in the running. Reliable sources said Thurs- day one such step was a request to convention headquar- ters for a full list of voting delegates and alternates--more than 4,000 names, addresses and telephone numbers. These lists under convention rules are supplied only to lead- ership candidates and the party leader. The request came from the Youth for Diefenbaker com- mittee here and convention offi- cers were given unimpeachable evidence the group acted on UO U.S. NAZI CHIEF | Rockwell Slain By Sniper ARLINGTON, Va.

Local unions with 375,000 members at GM, 152,000 at Ford and 95,000 at Chrysler are under orders to complete ballot- ing today and to get results to UAW headquarters tonight. A heavy vote for authoriza- tion would not mean necessar- ily there will be a strike. The question is: Shall leaders be empowered to call a walkout if it appears needed to win what UAW President Walter P. Reuther calls his 'longest and most ambitious list" of| demands.

A further indication of Mr. Diefenbaker's intentions was the report here that a rented telephone circuit covering all parts of Quebec and Ontario had been set up on Mr. Diefen- baker's behalf. Between them, Conservatives in the two central provinces control] more than half the 2,343 leadership votes at the conven- tion. Quebec has 535 votes and Ontario 758. Senior party workers conclud- ed the delegates lists and phone circuit meant a telephone can- vass for Diefenbaker support at the convention was being launched. Another possible indicator that Mr. Diefenbaker has reached a decision to give bat- tle is an increase in challenges about credentials of voting dele- gates known to back one or other of the nine men seeking Mr. Diefenbaker's job.

He said he cannot accept the two-nations concept, that it would destroy Confederation and that the party should steer away from the recommendation of the Montmorency policy advisory conference on_ this subject. The Montmorency confer- ence, called by the Conserva- tives to get policy suggestions for their September convention, recommended earlier this month that the party recognize that Canada is a_ federation composed of "two founding peo- ples (deux nations)."' an CLARK SPINS IN TRIAL RUN AT MOSPORT Jimmy.
