The c0:'(lllCl'.'-; inquest into the death of Albert Hime took place at 1 niclock on the Tuesday follow- ing his death. it was held in a small tan-paneled courtroom in the Los Angeles City Hall. The in- iquest could have been delayed pending the uncovering of further evidence by the police, but Tuck. Guiicriy and the district attorney were n! the opinion that the na- ture of the case did not. warrant such a delay. The district attorney was sure that only a confession of guzh would conclusively solve it. Tuck was fairly certain what the outcome of the inquest would be- : rot-dirt of murder at the hands of a pt?-ull or persons unknown. ai'.hoii,:h this would depend to some extent on the coroner and on the coroner: jury also. He had seen coi'onci"s juries whose per- sons ' v r:i:i;.:ed from lethargic siiipidiiy uhich docllcly went by the Iciif!' or the coroner's sum- ining up or the evidence to juries who boldly brought forth an un- expected decision as to where ih guilt lay. so he could not be sure. , vicini-in Himc. wearing a gray rt:-ipcd suit and a wide, tilted Hm: felt. hat. which clung to her short zmying hair by means of a black handanna. looked hard. cap- iible and determined.

"Impressions of Ottawa and Parliament" is the subject of the following interesting address by Mr. J. Angus MacLean, M.P.. for Queen's. which is scheduled to be broadcast this evening.
"I arrived here in Ottawa a couple oi days before Parliament reassembled on October 9th. For me, coming to Ottawa was in many ways like coming back home, for I had spent two and a. half inter- esting and busy years at the Air Force Station at Rockcliffe, Just outside the city, during the war. "The day before Parliament op- ened. I met the other three new members, who are also Progressive Conservatives and were elected in by-elections on the same day that you elected me. I would like to tell you a bit about each of them now.
"Howie Meeker. is the new mem- ber for Waterloo uth. He suc- coeds Karl Homuthp also a Can- servative. who represented Water; loo South for many years. Howie is the star hockey player with the Toronto Maple Leafs. So between hockey and Parliament, he is a very busy man. He served in the Army in the last war and was wounded twice. He is married and has one daughter four years old. A second daughter was born only a few days ago and this event was headlined in the Toronto paper

She asserted her belief that he had not killed himself. She de- scribed briefly the last dinner they had eaten together. ,
The coroner, a precise man. gray of face and Iiair, showed some confusion over the matter Of the sugar. for which Tuck could not blame him.
"The gist of it. then, Mrs. I-lime, is that you used no sugar from the bowl on the table, whereas your husband did?"
"Yes." .
"You yourself placed this bowl on the table?"
"Yes."
"About an hour before we ate." "Did you fill this bowl?"

"Another of the new members is Gordon Churchill. who is 52 and represents Winnipeg South Cen- tre. formerly a Liberal stronghold Gordon is a veteran of both world wars and left the Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was 9. school teacher during the rieriod between the wars and while the war was on. was elected to the Manitoba Legislature, renting the Armed Forces. On his release from the Army, although he was 44, he went back to COIIEKP again and studied law which he

now pi-aotlces in Winnipeg.
"Gordon Churchill's victory at the polls was perhaps the most remarkable of the four. He ran in the 1949 general election and was defeated by more than eight thousand votes by his Liberal op- ponent, yet on the by-election, he overcame this huge majority and won with plenty to spare. His elec- tion gave many complacent M.P.'s cause to think for there are few, very few members of Parliament with majorities of 8.000 or more. Gordon is an experienced and cap- able parliamentarian. His chief interests are defence and veterans' affairs.
"The other new member is Wal- ter Dinsdalc of Brandon, Manitoba. Walter is 37 and succeeds Mr. Matthews who was a native of Al- bany, P.E.I.. and who defeated John Bracken at the last general election. Walter is a member of one of the old pioneer families of Brandon. and his father was May- or of that city for some time. Be- fore the last war, Waiter spent scme time as a. social worker in the slums of Montreal and during the war, he served with great dis-

the R. C. A. F. and was decorated with the D. F. G. Since the war he has been a professor at Bran- don, College. He has two young sons, one three years old and the other three months.
Walter defeated the much pub- licized Grant Macliwan, fcrmer Dean of Agriculture at the Uni- versity of Saskatchewan, and who according to rumour. was to be- come the new Minister of Agricul- ture in place of Mr. Gardiner. All these rumours stemmed from plans which were hatched without re- ferring to the people of Brandon whose plan it was to elect Walter Dinsdale to represent them, and elect him they did with a majority of over two thousand votes.
"All three of these new members are young. keen. capable men who are a great contribution to Parlia- ment and a. tower of strength to the Opposition. If I am able to do half as well as they, the people of Queen's will not regret having elected me. '
