Ahereafter. wherever Staff Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon goes, he will be known as the man who shook the- corps right down to the heels of its combat boots.

Mclfeon is the man who marched 74 recruits into a tide- swept marsh where six were drowned on April 8. For that un- authorized night disciplinary march and other acts. he was con-

victed of " t homicide and violation of a general order last Friday night.

Saturday he was given a bad conduct discharge from the Ma-

months in prison. The sentence is still subject to review by the navy department and may be ap- pealed if not reduced there.

Chou's remarks were the first comment from the Chinese leader on the nationalization of the canal.

But Peiplng papers have been giving the bulk of their foreign news space to reporting events in the Middle East. Most have car- ried editorials supporting Egypt.

Egypt recognized China in May, and was followed last month by Syria. Israel recognized the com- munist government soon after it came to power, but Peiplng never

ORILLIA (CP)-Historian F. K Underhlll said Sunday night Can ads politically has become an old man's country.

He told the 25th Couchichlng Conference at nearby Geneva Park there are too many old men

P ” politicians. This. he said; oppresses the country's politics with a sense of futility and frustration. '

Mr. Underhill. formerly I pro- fessor of history at the university of Toronto, now is curator of Lau- sier House. Ottawa. He spoke on the second day of the week-long conference. jointly sponsored by the CBC and the Canadian Instit- ute on Public Affairs. The text of his address was released to the press ii advance.

He comparedr the ages of to- day's- top political figures with those of a near-century ago. at the time of Confederation and during the winning of responsible government.

John A. MacDonald was less than 50 in 1864 and his chief col- league Georges E. Cartier just over 50. D'Arcy McGee was 39, Charles Tupper 43 and Leonard Tilley 46. All played top roles in the political development of the Dominion.

Quipped Mr. Underhill:

"Of the outstanding men at that time there was only one great figure who felledto see the op- portunltyof the moment. he was Joseph Howe and what was wrong with Howe in October, 1364, was obviously that he was too old for constructive statesmanshlp; he had reached the advanced age

He also criticized the "fantastic divergence between the balance of opinion among the voters and the balance of seats in Parlia- ment and the provincial legisla- tures." ,

The electoral system had to be overhauled to make represent- ative assemblies more geniuinely representative by giving minor- ities a representation in propor- tion to the votes they won.

"Of course our practical politi- cians who enjoy the unearned sec- urity of unbeatable majorities in the House will do nothing to make the working of our electoral sys- tem fairer to the minorities.
