(Ily D'Arcy Gilonneli) UITAWA, June 14—(CP)—Can-

i ada. intends w retain the death-

Denalty as a deterrent to murder, Justice Minister Ilsley said today in the Commons.

"I am not proposing. any change in capital punishment at this time." said Mr. Iisley "when asked to comment on Britain's decision to make the death penalty appli- cable to only certain types of murd- ere.

He spoke as the House began study of a bill making more than 40 changes to the Criminal Code. The bill was one of a conglomer- ation of Government measures considered during the day.

John Diefenbaker (PC-Lake Centre). noted criminal lawyer, suggested that the Justice. Depart- ment make an investigation to discover the-value oi the deatn penalty as a deterrent. His sug- gestion drevw support from Stanley Knowles (CCF-Winnipcs North Centre).

Mr. Diefenbaker asked if the Department has carried out any investigation into the matter as a result of what happened in the British Parliament. There, the Commons voted for abolition of thenleath penalty, but the House of Lords reversed the decision.

Now a compromise is being worked out under which. the death penalty will apply to pro-meditat- ed murders, killings of a "gross nature" and the murders of po- licemen. ‘

Capital. punishment was the sub- ject oi a great deal of debate in Canada, said the Minister.

A-t the House opening. Revenue Minister McCann said he knew of no instructions to border customs officials directing them to ask Un-

.ited States tourists how much

money they had spent in Canada and whether it was Canadian or American funds. -

Trade Minister Howe said he hopes to make an announcement shortly on payment to be made to farmers who lost money on coarse grain sales when the price ceilings were lifted last fall.

Amend Rules Re Jurors Becoming ill

CYITAWA. June 14 —(CP)-—The Commons tonight accepted a Criminal Code amendment that will make it possible for Jury trials to continue even if one or two jurors

- become iii.

Consent of both the Crown and the accused will have to be ob- tained, however, before the trial may continue.

Before the amendment was sc- cepfAd, Justice Minister llsley turned down a request from John Diafen-bakcr (PC-Lake Centre) that supernumerary Jurors be sworn in at all trials to take the place 0f those who might become iii or die. e

New Fever Discovered In New York

(By Howard W. Bialresiee, Assoc- iated. Press Science Editor)

NEW YORK, June IL-(APJ-A new fever, discovered in New York City, spread by mice and resemb- ling typhus, smallpox and chicken pox, is described in today's June issue of the American Journal of Medicine.

This disease, called rickettsial pox, is not fatal, but it makes peo- ple mighty sick for a. few days with fevers that may run up to 104.

Dr. Morris Grcenberg, who de- scribed the discovery, says the dis- ease probably is old, but that it has not been recognized before. It is spread by tiny mites on house and field mice.

These mites have been found on mice in Egypt, the District of Co- lumbia, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Boston and Tucson. Ariz. Mice may have them everywhere. Up to now scientists haven't been inter- ested in hunting because no 8Vil was known oi the mites.

The fever was first detected in Queens, one of the New York bor- oughs on Long Island, in 1946 There an epidemic hit a small area of 60 three-storied buildings. They housed 2,000 and in them six pa‘: cent oi’ the adults and five p3: cent of tho children had the peculiar fever.

OTTAWA, June l4—Legislation providing new financial help for the debt-ridden Canadian Nation- al Railways received first reading in the Commons today. But there are indications it may be changed

‘ before it becomes law.

The bill, introduced by Gleason Belzlle, parliamentary assistant to Finance Minister Abbott, authoriz- es the Government to make up deficits of the C. N. R. and Trans- Cenadc. Air Lines. It also author- izes the C. N. R. to issue securities not exceeding 085,802,200 for capi- tal ‘expenditures this year.

John Bracken, Progressive Con- servative ieadeuasaid he feared the Government was giving the pub- iiciy-owned c. N. it. and '1‘! c. A. blank cheques for any deficits. Other Opposition members agreed with film.
