DIEFENBAKER SH By KEN KELLY TORONTO (CP)--A quic walk from a crowded ae behind a flying wedge of police- men Saturday night, and the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party was vacant, Slightly stooped, John Diefen- baker walked with his wife Olive from his party's leader- ship convention in a symbolic resignation that took effect for- mally a few minutes later when his handwritten withdrawal from balloting was presented to chief elections officer Lincoln Alexander. MANETTE mT mM m For nearly five hours he watched once-adoring support- ers drift to others among 11 candidates. He voted three times himself before finally surrendering. Mrs. Diefenbaker, knuckles white on the gold head of the Ua cage OWS LITTLE cane she uses to ease a lame back, sat unmoved until the final hour. Then she: could no longer fight back the tears that started to gather with the announcement that her husband had placed fifth on the first bal- ot. "Careful, darling,' Mr. Dief- MU mrt EMOTION AT FINAL CURTAIN enbaker murmured as he helped her down from the Maple Leaf Gardens box. He had just heard without apparent emotion the result of the third ballot in which his strength had dwindled. "T have nothing to say at this time," the 71-year-old gentle- man from Prince Albert told reporiers as he left for his suite at the Royal York Hotel. His words were tame by com- parison with his remark before balloting started. He was asked whether he would write his memoirs, ie don't think about mem- oirs," he said. "I'm still mak- ing history."

De Gaulle was followed to the rostrum by Polish Communist Party leader Wladyslaw Gomul- ka, who urged that co-operation replace "the dangerous division imposed upon Europe by blocs." But he said the existence of two German states with equal rights must be accepted as "the only way to regularize the Ger- man problem to serve the cause of peace." De Gaulle also repeated the suggestion he made on his arrival in Warsaw that the French and Polish governments be on the lookout for an oppor- tunity to help end the war in BALLOT By THE CANADIAN PRESS Results of ballots at the Candidate Premier Robert Stanfield Premier Duff Roblin Davie Fulton George Hees John Diefenbaker Senator Wallace.

De Gaulle appealed to Poland on the issue because it is one of the three members of the Inter- national Control Commission set up to supervise enforcement of the 1954 Geneva agreements on peace in Indochina. Canada and India are the other mem- bers. So, he suggested, the two could stay in contact '"'in case there should appear the possi- bility of their helping together to end the tragedy there, that is, the bombing and land war, then to remove the cause of it --which is foreign intervention --and finally to repair the odious ravages inflicted on this ber, 1962, region."
