LONDON (Reuutersl—Tlhe gov- ernment rejected an independent motion in the House of Commons Friday urging a series of re: strictions on the entry of people from the Commonwealth. The re- strictions were aimed at colored races.
Supporters of the motion ar- gued Britain's native white pop- ulation eventually would be en- gulfed by a flood of colored im- migrants seelninlg a more pros- perouse life.
The motion was talked out. A Laborite foe of the proposal merely continued talking until the deadline fell ior automatic adjournment.
MUST FACE ISSUE
Conservative Martin Lindsay, supporting the motion, said Bri- tain must lace squarely the is- sue of whether it wants to be- come a multinaciai nation. The current total of colored immig- rants in Britain is just over 200,000, he said. but this “would become 50,000, then 1,000,000 and would go on increasing.”
“1 do not believe it is sensible to make this island a magnet of attraction to the whole of the races of the Commonwealth by virtue of our superior wealth and the welfare state—and then just to wait and see what happens."
Several clashes between colored and white people broke out this summer in several towns. They led to calls in some circles for restricted colored immigra~ tIiOIn.
The motion, introduced by CW- servative Cyril Osborne, urged immediate steps to limit entry into Britain of all unfit or crim- inal persons or those who did not

Month-Long Fog Lifts In Britain
IDNDON (AP)—Britain's long- est fog spell of the century thinned out Friday night and left most of the country under a clear night sky for the first time in a mouth.
The vast. smoky mist that purified towns and countryside in the last 28 days appeared to have shitted down to a belt along the southern English coast.
Sealanes and air schedules were still hampered by fog clouds around the coasts.
Doctors said it was too early to assess the damage in terms of human sickness, but agreed there was unlikely to be any results comparable with the fierce killer fog of 195a which clamped down over London in a mild, impen- etrable blanket for five straight days.
Pollution expert Dr. Ernest Wil- kins explained that this time the fog has lifted parity every day, allowing time for the buildup of 110150" nous siuphur a no other smoke products to escape into the

The army, is expected to get its first choice to blast off early this morning, although there has been no odfiicial announcement of the launch time.
Stepped up activity about the service tower housing the giant Juno II rocket indicated the final countdown already was at hand.
After the air force tailed three times to swing a satellite into orbit around the moon, the army finally has its alliance.
It was learned that the army launching team is working with a calm confidence very similar to last January when Explorer I, the first American satellite, was fired successfully.

Three Judges Are Suggested
By ROBER RICE Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) — Canada's
major railways have asked the federal government to appoint a special board to arbitrate labor disputes that threaten to erupt into nationwide railway strikes, it was learned Friday.
They proposed that whenever a major rail strike seems prob- able—as happened last month— the cabinet should name 3 Su- preme Court judge and two other high~ranking judges to the spe- cial board for determina- tion" of the dispute.
This is a key recommendation in a new railway plan for radical changes in federal labor laws to net up separate procedures for solving railway/labor squabbles.

The proposed procedure would include mediation by a labor ex- pert, then if he is unsuccessful hearings by the special board, followed by a 14-day period of renegotiation and finally—if all oftorts fail to produce a settle- mem—Ia binding report of the

Tourist Films- Criticized For
Narrow View
OTTAWA (Gm—Criticism that Canadian tourist films concen- trate too heavily on outdoor cutb- jects found support Friday at closing sessions of the federal« provincial tourist conference.
Stephen Greenlees of the na- tional film board told the confer- ence he thinks greater diversity is needed. Films should deal with Canadian c itie 5. restaurants. shows, amt attractions. historic chord!!! as well as the outdoors.
He urged provm ciaI govern. ment tourist agencies to make films on urban attractions.
Dan Wallace, director of Nova Scotia’s tourist and information bureau, said less obvious tech- nique is needed in tourist films. Too many were merely a series of pretty pictures tied together with a commentaryt The Nova Scotia government was making films about specific subjects — apple - growing, a barrel-nave industry — that pre- sented the people and country as incidental to the film story. In that way, Nova Scotia was “sold” to the viewer as a place where there were interesting people and things to see.

U.N. Avoids Action On Cyprus Issue
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP) The United Nations General As- sembly ran through a long series of approval votes Friday in a move to clean up its business be- fore the target adjournment date of Dec. 13.
The only surprise was an un- recorded unanimous agreement on the Cyprus issue, which had taken up eight days of often- heated debate in the assembly's political committee. culminating Thursday night in a narrow vote favoring a three-power confer- ence on the island‘s future under the aegis of the UN.
By Friday the supporters of Britain and Turkey who had pushed through the conference vote to head ofif Greece’s de- mands for Cyprus independence gave up any hopes they might have held for winning the re- quired two‘thirds majority in the Ill-country parent assembly body. What resulted was a Mexican- sponsored proposal calling only for "a peaceful, just and demo- cratic solution in accordance with the charter of the United Nia- tions."
This wide - opening wording leaves the situation precisely where it was before Greece brought it as an issue into the UN, but it did stave off any for- mal motion of censure against either of the three interested powers and leaves Britain free to proceed with her long - term plans for eventual independence of the island coupled with protec- tion for the one-quarter of the population made up of the Turkish minority who opposed any move for union with ercc.
