I5 Yea rs Of Defeat Left

Fight‘ In John

By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)—lohn Diefen- baker revels in a good political fight. If things are dull, he’s likely to provoke one.on his own.

That fact has created lively controversy around the tall, lean Saskatchewan lawyer all along the rags-to-riches political trail he has blazed since arriving in -the Commons 18 years ago.

me result has been an un- usual amount of public interest and argument centred around the Prognessive Conservative govern- ment which the 62-year-old prime minister formed last June 21, his party’s first time in power here in 22 years.

' ATTACKIN G ROLE

During the “abbreviated life of the 23rd Parliament, with a min- ority Conservative government, he reacted to opposition attack by launching counter-attacks. Af- ter 17 previous years in opposi- tion, it would have been out of character for him to be content with a defensive role.

John George Diefenhaker

, learned his politics the hard way

through 15 years of political de- feats before his first election to the Cmnimons in 1940. Twice he failed in bids to win the party leadership in 1942 and 1948. Finally, in December, 1956, he won the leadership of a. party that held scant hope of gaining power in the election looming

ahead. Yet six months later he ‘

sparked Conservatives to victory

mat the polls, toppling the Lib-

erals in one of the most vigorous campaigns in recent political his -tory. . --

He became Can,a.da’s first prime minister whose paternal ancestry was neither British nor French, and the first war vet- eran to head -the federal govern- ment. ‘ . ‘

Great - grandfather Diefen- backer came out from Holland around 1815 to settle at York now Toronto. Grandfather George Diefenbacker, a noted Western Ontario carriage maker, dropped the “c” from the name more than 60 years ago. His mother’: people were Scottish. Grea-t-grandfather George Ban- nerman. from Kildonan, Scot- land, was among Lord Se1kirk’s colonists who made -the rugged trek to Man-itoba’s Red River set- tlement in 1812-13.

URGED NEW POLICY

John Diefenbaker has repeat- edly voiced pride in this ances- Yet his first Commons speech was a plea for establish- ment of a Canadian citizenship, and abolition of the census prac- tice of registering Canadians by their paternal ancestry.

Born in Ontario’s Grey County and raised in Saskatchewan, his boyhood was filled with reading of history and biography that whetted his imagination. He once told_a reporter he aimed at be. coming a lawyer because so

many of the great figures in pol-’

itical history were lawyers.

He often tells the story of how, as a 14-year-old newsboy in Sas- katoon peddling the old Win- nipeg Telegram, he once chatted at the railway station with a dis. tinguished traveller, Prime Min- ister Sir Wilfrid, Laurier. That‘ set dreaming of high public service. ,

“The achievement of that hope has not been disillusioning,” he said last fall,<after his first taste of life in the prime ministers ' usy office in Parliament hill.

That first taste, if satisfying, also involved a vast amount of work at the outset—more than 1?. hours a day at the office, count- less visitors, the burden of end- less decisions.

AN EASIER PACE

The early pace has since eased off. He rises any time between 6 and 7 a.m. at the prime min- ister’s residence at 24 Sussex Street, overlooking the Ottawa River less than a. mile down- stream from Parliament Hill.

Normally. he starts the day with a snack in a kitchenette which is part of the Diefei1— baker’: private quarter: on the

Diefhefn ba ker

second floor,’ does some home- work and then has a substantial breakfast before heading 150 the office around 8:30 or 9 am.

His day still is filled with a steady stream of visitors—a few of them personal friends whom he has invited to drop in. These unscheduled visits sometimes up- set the routine carefully planned by his staff. _

“You can’t keep him on sched- ule at all,” one of his secretaries recently remarked, with resigna- tion.

But he can get back on sched- ule with a quick sandwich lunch, brought in to his desk. This hap- pens about half the time. " LIKES TV» WRESTLING

He has managed to keep most weekday evenings free of work and normally he goes to bed early, at 10 p.-m. or even earlier, to Watch one out his favorite tele- except on nights when he sits up vision programs—wrestling.

A non-drinker and 'non-smoker, he has for years -followed his Baptist upbringing‘ and abstained from working on Sundays.’ How-' ever, the pressure of the prime minister’: duties has caused to ease this rule although he still irefuses to make any political”ap- pearances on Sundays. He is a man of high nervous energy. The prospect of a pol- itical fight [in the Commons can set him almost hopping in his seat, eager to jumpii-nto the fray. But he can also relax, easily Sud quickly. His ability to drop

ff to, sleep under almost any circumstances stood him in good stead during last year’s election campaign, when he made more than 100 speeches during a tour of more than 20,000 miles. His favorite sports are fishing and duck hunting, Relaxing with friends, he loves to spin yarns about his’ political or courtroom experiences, often employing a gift of mimicry to do a devastat- ing take-off on some other figure in public life. PRAIRIE BOYHOOD

His (favorite stories are those of the Prairies, where he went -as a boy of eight when his school- teacher father, George T. Dief- enbaker, moved from Ontario to :a rural school near Fort Carlton, in western Saskatchewan. That was in 1903. Two years later his father opened a homestead a few miles west across the North Saskatchewan River; breaking ground on virgin soil littered with buffalo bones.

When John was 14, his family moved to Saskatoon where his father became land titles clerk and. later, a federal customs of- ficer for 28 years,

John entered the University of Saskatchewanin 1912, went over- seas in 1916 as a lieutenant with the 196th Western University Bat. t1a‘(i)l1i;)n and was invalided home in

He finished his la.w school training and opened practice in 1919 in the small town of Wakaw, Sask. Four years later he moved his practice to Prince Albert. His home has been there ever since.

His first taste of political cam- paigning was in 1925 when he lost in Prince Albert to a Lib. eral in the federal election that year. Next year, when Liberal leader MacKenzie King ran in Prince Albert, y 0 u n g lawyer Diefenbaker ran against him and lost,; polling little more than half of Mr. Kin.g’s tota1_

Mr. Diefenbaker didn’t make another attempt at federal pol- itics until his winning one in 1940 in Saskatchewan's Lake Cen- »tre_ constituency. But in the in- terim he tried twice for election to the Saskatchewan legislature, losing both times by narrow mar- gins. -The second time, in 1938, he was provincial Conservative leader.

His first wife, the former Edna Browcr, died in February, 1951. They had no children.

In December, 1953, he married the for-iner Mrs. Olive E. Palmer, a widow. She was (1;il"I'llE§i‘ of the pastor of the Bapiisi (‘tum-li

MIRNY STATION, Antarctica (AP) —— If you were listing un- likely items to be found at this iRusssian outpost, 10,0000 miles fro Moscow, you’d certainly include fresh pork chops. _

But Soviet scientists, While €10’ ing research in cosmic rays, tre atmosphere, weather, glaciology, earthquakes and sunspots. 8150 raise pigs. _ _'

lt’s no mysterious scientific project, however. The pigs are to eat.

In a far corner of the Soviet installlation on the Antarctic coast oppposite Australia, the pigs are kept in a sheltered pen; fed mess halll garbage. The sows already have produced several littters.

Antarctica has no treees, no grasss, no plant life except mosss, fungi and seaweed. 110 8I11m315 acceptable to man. So the pigs are an innovation. They also are practical.

MAJOR - PROBLEM _

In the 40-odd Antarctic stations supported by variousnations, gar- bage disposal is a major problem. Wet garbage freezes quickly and cannot be burned. Burying it in the ice or the permanently frozen ground requires heavy machi- nery. Some stations go through an elaborate process of drying and burning.

Mirny cuts straight through the problem by using the pigs to eat the garbage. * .
