MEMBER F AMENT RR FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR Two Broadcasting Bill Delays Final CBC Appointments By TOM MITCHELL OTTAWA (CP) -- The ques- tion of a new top management for the CBC, up in the air for more than a year now, likely will remain that way for an- other month or two. The Commons adjourned Dec 21 until Jan. 22 with the bill re- vising broadcasting legislation still at the stage of clause-by- clause study. The bill splits up the responsi- bilities formerly carried alone by the CBC president, calling for a president to be responsible for over-all policy matters and a chief executive officer to han- dle day-to-day running of the corporation. CENTRES ON TWO Recent speculation has | Montreal labor-management consultant, and George David-! son, secretary of the govern- ment's treasury board. Reports say Mr. Picard is headed for the post of president and Mr. Davidson for the job of chief ex- ecutive. But there are strong indica- tions that the government still] has not made a final decision or} obtained final commitments| from appointees. "I know there is no signed or- der-in-council floating around," one government source com- mented when asked about the new CBC chiefs. Some sources point out the government had a golden oppor- tunity to announce new appoint- ees when J. Alphonse Ouimet,| centred on Laurent Picard,|who submitted an open-ended | Extra Legislatio n Load : Could-Extend This Session By CARMAN CUMMING OTTAWA (CP) -- A hefty bundle of major legislation still to be dealt with could extend the current parliamentary ses- sion into late February or March. When the month-long Christ- mas recess began Thursday, only seven of Prime Minister Pearson's 25 priority measures had passed Another 13 were at various Stages, in the parliamentary mill} while four have yet to be introduced The 25th--a measure to in- crease postal rates--died an embarrassing death when the government was caught off guard and was beaten on a pre- liminary vote. Of 10 less-vital measures set out in the government's legisla- tive planning in October, five have been passed, one remains in the mill and four have not been introduced. On theeplus side, Parliament has passed difficult bills limit- ing capital punishment and set- ting up a department of con- sumer and corporate affairs. And some of the toughest bills still before it are well on the! way to enactment, including the divorce reform bill and the broadcasting bill. LONG STUDY AHEAD But legislators have long and intensive study still ahead on! 42 Hand Guns Registered geveral "gut" issues that will profoundly affect Canadians. Many of them are tied up. in the massive Criminal Code amendments which emerged from the back-room planning only hours before the recess Items such as abortion reform, driving and drinking law, lotter- ies and homosexuality. This omnibus bill alone could take weeks of House and Senate study after work resumes Jan observers say. And a good deal of time will also be spent on bills outlawing possession of the drug LSD, le- galizing sale of contraceptives, and barring dissemination of hate literature. The LSD bill has already passed the Senate while the other two are still under study there x Still to be dealt with also are bills implementing tax in- creases announced in Finance Minister Sharp's Nov. 30 mini- budget. Of the four promised meas- ures not yet introduced, the most important probably is es- tablishment of the proposed Canada Development Corp. to encourage Canadian investment in domestic industry. The other three would amend the Unemployment Insurance Act, set up an educational TV agency and amend customs tar- iffs as a result. of Kennedy Round negotiati i: With Police Department Forty-two hand guns_have| been registered with city police} in recent weeks. | Sgt. M. T. Van Allen, identifi- cation officer with the force, at-| tributed the registration of the weapons to an article in The Times in which the city police called on the public to contact them about unregistered weapons. Twelve of the weapons which have since been registered were previously unregistered _ fire- arms. Sgt. Van Allen said that at least eight of these handguns were war souvenirs or trophies. Among the weapons in this category were such German hand guns as Walthers, Lugers and Mausers. Several Spanish Star guns were also registered HAND GUNS Most of the 30 hand guns which were brought in and re- registered were old weapons andionly five years. family hand-downs, according to Sgt. Van Allen. He said most of these old) guns have been registered long ago and then put in a drawer somewhere and forgotten. Most of the hand guns re- registered were of four calibres including .22's, .25's, .32's and .38's. Some of the more com-; mon trade names were Smith and Wesson, Harrington and Richardson and even a couple of Colts Anyone who has tered hand gun or registered prior to contact city police to make ar- rangements to get a_ carrying permit which would enable them to take the gun to the police station and arrange per- jmanent registration Only guns registered in 1950 or jlater have permanent registra- tion.

That the government did not avail itself of this opportunity to announce appointments was cited by sources as evidence that a final decision has not been made. Mr. Ouimet announced his in- tention to retire late in 1966 but said he would stay on until the new _ broadcasting legislation was launched, He set Dec. 15 as his departure date after a clash this fall with State Secretary Judy LaMarsh. Miss LaMarsh, who reports to the Commons on broadcasting, charged on a television program that there are many areas of "rotten management" in the CBC. Mr. Ouimet sent her a let- ter demanding she back this up with specifics. She refused, saying this had been demonstrated amply by all the recent investigative studies of broadcasting. AWAITING BILL?
