Bernard Cusack and Patrick Walsh received the nod from two of three judges for their affirm- ative stsnd on the resolution "That capital punishment should be abolished." Mary Farmer and John Walsh of St. Dunstan's defended "The God-given right" of capital pun- ishment which both described as "a crime deterrent." The St. F.X. debaters contend- ed abolition of the death penalty "would be conducive to a greater respect in the community at large" and that "life imprison- ment would accomplish the same end." J DEATH PENALTY JUSTIFIED Miss Farmer said "the three crimes punishable by death in Canada-murder. rape and u-es. BOH-lultlfy the use of the strong- est "possible deterrent. namely death." Team-mate John Walsh stated that, alternatives are "lneffectIve. inefficient and undesirable. whereas capital punishment is necessary. reasonable and just."

LONDON iReutersJ -Intensive diplomatic efforts behind scenes to avert a major war in the For- mosa straits centred in London yFriday following exploratory talks iin Moscow and at United Na- 'Iions headquarters.

Foreign Secretary Eden confer- red liere with Indian Prime Min- istcr Nehru and. immediately after. called in U. S. Ambassa- idor Winthrop Aldrich.

It was understood that a Sov- iet proposal a week ago for an international conference outside the UN on the Formosa crisis do- minated Friday's discussions.

So far. there has been no for- mal confirmation of Russia's pro- pusal. made in Moscow to Brit- ish Ambassador Sir William Hay- for. Friday. the foreign office here said only that "contacts had continued" between Haytcr and the Soviet foreign ministry on the Far Eastern issue.

COOL TO CONFERENCE

Eden has called repeatedly in the last few weeks for a cease- fire as the first step in gaining a Formosa settlement. He was understood to have relayed Brit- ain's preliminary comments on the Soviet proposal to Nehru and Aldrich.

Informed quarters said Aldrich Friday echoed the U. S. state de- partment's cool reception of the Russian proposal.

British officials indicated they are not eager for an early meet- ing outside the UN and certain- ly not one which excludes a chief party to the Formosa dispute- Gen. Chiang Kai-shek's govern- ment. '

There is little optimism here that Communist China will ac- cept a cease-fire unless it is ac- companied by a wider political settlement. Peiplng's constant propaganda for the "liberation" of Formosa and the Nationalist -held islands in the Formosa straits has not abated during the series of diplomatic talks in Mos- cow. New York and London.
