OT'I‘AHA (CPJ—AThe collapse Wednesday of negotiations for speedy passage of the govern- ment's 1962-03 spending pro- gram could lead to a crisis in Parliament and a new election.

Liberal and New Democratic spokesmen, charging that the government is trying to scuttle Parliament's ancient right to ‘control the purse strings. re- jected a Conservative proposal that they waive certain House rules to push through the de- tailed spending program.

The Social Credit party lined up with the government but. because unanimous consent was required under Commons rules to give effect to the govern- ment's proposal. the negotia- tions were terminated

There are three key elements

UNABLE TO PAY BILLS?

But lie March bills start coming in for payment during the first weeks of that. month and. if Parliament fails to vote the money betwan now and about. March 5. the government faces the prospect of being unable to pay its debts on time.

There are other ways for the government to pay the bills but they can't be used while Parlia- ment is sitting. The government. could dissolve Parliament. call an election and pay the bills by governor - general's warrants —~in effect. cabinet orders.

Or it could recess Parliament, pay the bills by warrants and ask Parliament to approve its

fraught with pitfalls which the, opposition could turn to their advantage.

WASHINGTON (APi — A hitherto secret air force experi- ment placing six 14-inch tin needles in orbit around the earth was reported Wednesday.

The test. taking place some time last. year. was a follow-up to the service's so far unsuc- jcessfi and controversial~ project West Ford.

The latter project in designed to ,create an orbiting belt of 17.50.000.000 hairline copper nee- dles around the planet to ex- plore possibilities for a new

communications technique. But the copper fibres from a test launched last fall. instead of stretching out into a belt are still clumped together in five or six small clusters some 2.000 miles up.
