A vote looked possible late in ; the sitting but Liberal maverick Ralph Cowan (York-Humber) ~ refused to give the required } Unanimous consent. - » The debate was adjourned "last Thursday following a *speech by Prime Minister Pear- »son supporting the bill, which * would eliminate capital punish- ; ment for murder except in the killing of policemen and prison guards. It resumed Wednesday with several MPs condemning the measure and calling on the government to withdraw it. Heath Macquarrie, (PC, Queens) said there was no need for Solicitor-General Pennell to bring the measure before the House because the same Parlia- ment had rejected abolition only 18 months ago. He would not vote for the measure but might abstain. Robert McCleave (PC--Hali- fax) and Donald MacInnis (PC --Cape Breton South) both! spoke against the bill. Mr. McCleave said he would} favor it only when the govern- ment started to show concern for the victims of murderers. Mr. MacInnis accused the PARLIAMENT AT-A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS WEDNESDAY, Nov. 22, 1967 The Commons went through its sixth day of debate on the bill to limit capital punish- ment without coming to a vote. Crediste Leader Caouette called on the government to withdraw the bill on the grounds it was holding up more important matters. External Affairs Minister Martin said the government has lodged a protest with Turkish-Cypriot leaders over the manhandling of three Ca- nadian UN soldiers. The defence department said it is reviewing contingen- cy plans for possible with- drawal of the UN force on Cy- prus. Labor Minister Nicholson indicated that an arbitrator might be appointed to settle the Montreal longshoremen's dispute.

"I didn't believe him then and I don't believe him now," said Mr. Horner, claiming there was pressure on MPs to support the measure. Crime is be coming more widespread than ever before, Mr. Horner said. The possibility of hanging was needed as a de- terrent to murderers "only as long as it is carried out." Mr. Caouette said that despite the decision of Parliament al- ready on capital punishment, the gdyernment had continued to order commutations. . "Any Canadian, whoever he be, has the right to the same protection as policemen and prison guards,' he said. That was "plain elementary justice." During Wednesday's question period, External Affairs Minis- ter Martin and Defence Minister Cadieux faced a barrabe of op- position questions on the war threat in Cyprus. OTTAWA (CP) -- A 62- year-old House of Commons charwoman received informal congratulations today from John Diefenbaker, former op- position leader, when he learned she had been awarded the Centennial Medal. Mrs. Marie Callahan, 4 Cen- tre Block employee for 27 | years, was one of 20,000 Cana- dians awarded the medal "in recognition of valuable serv- ice to the nation." Recipients included both federal and provincial members of Parlia- ment. A grandmother, Mrs. Calla- han said her family and friends were "very excited" about the award which she was astonished to get in the mail Friday. The "lovely medal" came as a reward for 27 years' per- CENTENNIAL MEDAL THRILLS 62- YEAR-OLD CHARWOMAN fect service, she said. She took it to work Monday and wore it all morning after a friend pinned it on her "al- though I think it's supposed to be for ceremonial occasions." Mrs. Callahan, who goes to work at 5 a.m. to change tow- els for the members and their secretaries, began the work after her husband died when her daughter was small, The hours left her free to care for her child most of the day. She frequently meets MPs on her rounds, but doesn't know all of their names. The ones who learned about the medal have been "really thrilled," however. "Mr. Diefenbaker congratu- lated me this morning and said I had certainly been an honest, faithful person while | serving him."

Callaghan, a breezy 55-year- old Irishman, for months has wanted to quit the onerous treasury. post, Amid the hue and cry after the pound was cut to $2.40 from $2.80 U.S., it seemed at first that he might succeed Foreign Secretary George Brown. But Callaghan's frank, incisive han- 4 dling of critics of devaluation in } the House of Commons him ; new respect. Some political writers even pointed to him as a : possible successor to Prime : Minister Wilson. : Wilson's government easily beat back a Conservative cen- * sure motion in Commons. The vote, along straight party lines, was 335 to 258. Only one Labor- ite broke ranks and abstained. FRANCE PULLS OUT A rush on gold following de- valuation was intensified by France's decision to pull out of t the international pool pegging the price. This forced the U.S. government to sell gold heavily to foreign buyers to keep the price from rising above $35 a fine ounce, since a rise would devalue the dollar. t Britain's authoritative --busi- ness daily, The Financial ' Times, attributed the rush to } gold to belief that other coun- tries may devalue their cur- rency. "Many people," said, '"'believe that the currency adjustment precipitated vy the sterling devaluation may aot yet have run its course and that countries which have decided to maintain their parity may ye in the next few months decide to change it. Thus there must be many who regard gold as the best hedge available at 'his time." ' One of the biggest traders in the sterling bloc, the Crown col- ony of Hong Kong, broke away from Britain's lead and sharply modified its decision to follow the devaluation. It revalued its currency upward by 10 per cent and announced it would make the paper| e Of Crisis full reimbursement to author- ized exchange banks for the loss- es they sustained. This is expect- ed to cost $65,000,000 to $72,- 000,000 in American dollars. The decision put the exchange rate for the Hong Kong dollar at 6.06 U.S. dollars, instead of 6.65 which had prevailed since de- valuation Sunday and 5.70-5.75 prior to devaluation. SAVES ECONOMY The revaluation was expected to save some Hong Kong manu-} facturing companies from bank- ruptcy and reduce a major bur- den for others. In his speech winding up the two-day Commons debate, Cal- laghan raised some hitherto un- mentioned issues. First he castigated the entire British nation as the victims of "cheap cynicism that extends through every vein in our coun- iry,"' After this swipe at the swing- ing image, he said, and without approval: "There is a growing view that democracy cannot solve our problems." This raised a large number of honorable eyebrows, but Calla- ghan went on: "I regard as potentially sinis- ter this new big business organi- zation which has been set up with some rather dubious people heading it who are claiming it Expo Macaw On New Stamp GEORGETOWN, Guyana (Reuters) -- Millie, the swear- ing macaw whose ear-blistering joaths got her evicted from Evpo 67, has started a postage stamp boom in her native Guyana. Orders are pouring in from all over the world for special Christmas stamps bearing her picture despite a national ar- gument over whether a gov- ernment decision to print the issue was an act of blas- phemy. One postal official said the rush of orders included one from a Philatelist archdeacon who wrote, "God bless Millie --send me some stamps please." But Millie, banished from the Montreal world fair be- cause of the string of bilingual profanities which she learned from French-Canadian work- men, is not likely to benefit from the sale of 1,350,000 stamps. \C.

Manning said Wednesday it appears the national Progressive Conserva- tive Party is not going to accept an invitation to adopt his '"'so- cial conservative' principles, and lead Canada through a po- litical renaissance, Speaking to a banquet crowd of 650 persons at the annual convention of the Alberta Social Credit League, Mr. Manning said that "if the Conservatives pass up this' opportunity--as seems likely--it will be the deci- sion of those who put party and personal interests above nation- al needs." He said, the alternatives re- maining will be a reorganization and revitalization of the Social Credit party on a national level, or the emergence of a new polit- ical force.
