OTTAWA, Jan. 11 -(Special) - Calling of a, by-election in Queenls to select a successor to the late J. Lester Douglas. M.P.. will be de- ferred until this spring and pos- sibly until early this summer. so- :ordlng to indications here this week. -

As yet not even the first step has been taken in Ottawa to lay the groundwork for the by-elect- ion which now could not possibly be held earlier than March.

While the Cabinet has the final say in by-election dates. it is more often than not guided by local Liberal associations in its choice. The inference here as far as Queen's is concerned is that Queen's Liberals are in no hurry to sound a call for the polling. By the same token. Progressive Gon- servatives in the riding have tak- rn no steps to hasten the voting. In event of the C-mmons losing a member by death. Mr. Speaker awaits formal notification of the vacancy before issuing a writ for a by-election. The notification must be given by two members of the House. regardless of political party affiliation orithc province which they represent. To date. Mr. Speaker Ross. MacDonald has re- ceived no such notification.

After formal notice of a Com- mons vacancy has been given. the Cabinet, described as the Govern- or-in-Council, must call a by- election within six months' time. FNI11 a practical standpoint. the Governor-in-Council has to allow the chief electoral officer 45 days to complete . his preparations. Enumeration L ' you the slim day prior to polling data for by- clections and 49 days in the case of a general Federal election.

.' hoioe.of a polling day is in-

0 4y various political and m c opinion is against an election at a

time when rugged winter condit- ions make it difficult to get out the vote. From the Government standpoint. it is unwise to call an election at s time when there is

pioyment or when farm price are low.

In Queen's, it is apparent that both parties are prepared to wait until they see conditions more ad- vantageous than at present.

(By James M. Long)

VATICAN CITY, Jan. lvi-(AP)- Roman Catholic clergyman were forbidden today to belong to Rotary clubs and Catholic laymen were warned to follow canon law in re- gard to membership.

The ban was disclosed with pub- lication by the Vatican's news- paper, L'osservsiore Romano. of a decree by the supreme sacred cong- regation of the Holy Office, which Pope Pius heads.

The reasons were not stated. spokesmen of Rotary international indicated they were mystified.

However. a source connected with ,the newspaper said the decree appeared aimed at European and Latin American countries. -where Masonic connections -have been stirlbuted to Rotary. rather than against Catholic membership in Rotary in the United states, where the international organization was founded 46 years ago.

Trere have beeni differences of long standing between the Catholic Church and the Masonic order. The Masons trace the origin of their order back to Old Testament times.

Chief U. S. delegate Warren E. Austin approved the plan shortly after its five points were outlined to the U. N. Assembly's political coirmittee by Canada's L. 13. Peer- son, member of the three-man U. N. cease-fire committee. Britain. France, India. Norway. Israel and Turkey also accepted the suggest- ions. Russia said they must be studied fully.

Soviet delegate Jakob A. Malik said there was "nothing new in the substance of the proposal." that they sounded "like an ul- timatum"' and declared that it could not serve as a basis for peace." He asserted that his "first impression" was that the wording of the plan "is deliberately foggy to make possible interpretations in any direction later."

U. N. observers and persons familiar with Russian tactics in the U. N. said they did not believe Mali); had closed the door. They said he apparently did not have

The plan, if finally accepted by all sides, would mean the U. S. would sit at the same table with Communist China in negotiations. The U. S. does not recognize Red China and has opposed its ad- mission to the U. N.. but Austin has told the political committee that the U. S. stands ready to talk with Communist china at an ap- propriate time and in the ap- propriate forum. The U. S. heapin- sistcd that it will. not'1s1k with Red China as long as the com- munist Chinese are shooting at American and U. N. forces.

Four Arrested if Montreal Rape. Theft Cris-es

MONTREAL. Jam. 11- (GP)- Two sturdy homicide squad de- tectives sighed with relief today and put away female attire and cosmetics they had been using for three weeks in a vain attempt to trap a gang of rapists in the city's west-end.

Wishing to remain anonymous. the pair waved goodbye to their night-time roles of female spies when they learned four men had been. arrestsditxita conptibtion--with 13 cases of rape, assault and theft during the last 18 months. I

A homicide squad official said he was "perfectly satisfied" that the arrests meant the end of one of the city's most extensive man- hunts.

Police said the' criminals al- ways worked in pairs. one at the wheel of a taxicab and the other hiding in the rear seat. The driv- er would follow a lone woman and offer her a ride in return for in- formatimi on the location of is street. As soon as the victim enter- ed the vehicle. the man hiding in the rear would threaten her with a gun or a knife and she was forced to submit to both before she was robbed I her money and thrown out of the cab.

With the arrest of the quartet and the "stoolie" who sold his information for :50. police said. the work of the two detectives clad in feminine attire to lure the men ended. The two were armed with revolvers and wore brass knuckles.

KE:R.FJlVlE3S. B. (1.. Jan. Ill -- (OP)-The "Children of Light" be- gan to break camp late today at- ier wailing vainly for 17 days for the world's end or at least a "mes- sage from God."

Several children and a few adults among the 35-member re-

ligious cult quit the shuttered stone cottage on the outskirts of this interior British Columbia

town as summonses were about to be served on the parents.

The summonses were sworn out by the School Board under the school.Attendance Act. which says every child between seven and 15 must attend school.

B. B. Sheridan. secretary of the school Board. said the Board de- layed action because "we want to avoid any suggestion of religious persecution."

First exodus of the white-robsd. hymn-singing oultiats came when a green car bulging with six children and several mattresses left the hideout end raced-to-the cold house which I". C. Chapman desertnd three weeks ago to fol- low Mrs. Alma Grace Carlson.

AI afternoon classes were start- ing. five of the eight school-age children from the sect'a farmhouse were driven behind the school in another car. The children ran into their classrooms.

Mr. Chapman. still wearing his white running shoes and trousers. ordered reporters from his prop- erty. "Geb out of'liIre'nr Til smash the windows of your car," he shouted. .

The cultlaia said intrusions on their privacy and newspaper and radio pinsilcity resulted in their failure to achieve "communion with God."

TOKYO. Jan. 12 -- (Friday) - (AP) A A spearhead of Reds. 30 miles south of the 11.5. 2nd Divis- ion's most northerly salient, was reported speeding southward in Central Korea today.

The drive apparently was aimed at cutting the southeast railway at Tanyang.

U.S. Eighth Army headquarters reported leading elements of the Red force (size and nationality not given) more 10 miles south of Chec- chon and six miles from Tanyang.

The Red force which the Eighth Anny reported ramming through deep snow 10 miles south of Che- chdn were presumably members of this same two-division North Kor- ean force.

Chungju is only 90 miles north of Taegu on the main highway and rail route leading to the southeast corner of the Korean peninsula. Censorship prevented further de- tails on location of the Reds. Eighth Army censors at midnight Thursday also clamped the lid on any further reference to the 2nd Division's stand near Wonju.

OTTAWA. Jan. 11-(OP)-Sciem tlsts in Canada and the United States are mobilizing to fight a new strain of stem rust threatening to bring disaster to wheat crops in both countries.

Dr. F. L. Draylon, associate Dom- inion botanist, said today in an interview that the new kind of fun- aus damaged part of Manitoba's crop in 1950 and the fear now is that it may spread into other parts of the Prairies this year.

He recalled that in one year- i016--stem rust destroyed about 100,000,600 bushels of wheat in Can- ada.

The new strain of stem rust. named by scientists "15-B," is can- able of destroying the Prairies main wheat varieties. Renown and Thatcher. Dr. Drayton said.

These two varieties previously rust-resistant. have been instrument- al in keeping the Prairies comparat- ively free from rust invaders for the past five years. They were produced after years of research.

Spread From The 1.1.5.

The new stem rust is a fungus developing out of spores swept up from southern United states. where iii-B already has done some damage. Jts appearance means that new. commercial varieties of wheat snustj be developed to withstand its with- ering and killing effects. Dr. Drayton said.

Tests by Canadian and American scientists now are going on i at Canada's rust-resistant laborator- ies at Winnipeg. Development al- ready has started on new lines of wheat hybrids apparently 'more re- sistant to the attack of lo-3 then current commercial varieties.
