Pearson View Unchanged On Non-Confidence Vote

OTTAWA (CP) Liberal leader Lester B. Pearson said

last night. his party wants an- 1‘

other federal election to clear up the current confusion and not to continue it.

Mr. Pearson made it plain, in commenting on a speech by it leader Robert Thompson, that remains firm in his ‘pledge to move a motion of non-confidence in the government as soon as possible after Parliament meets Thurs-

day.

Mr. Pearson said that deputy Social Credit leader Real Caou- ette had told audiences that aving vigorously opposed the Conservative government in the June 18 election campaign he was not going to keep them in‘ office any longer.

"That seemed to a rea- sonable position." Pearson said. “If you are elected oppose it.

“We regard it as our duty to move non-confidence. and that

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) W is’ more unusual than finding a dog in a storm sewer? Finding four dogs.

A workman looking down into the sewer Monday saw nothing but dogs under the heavv grating.

He called police.

They called the public works. department. The pub- lic works department sent out a crew with pickaxes.

The crew dug out the grat- ing. After two hours all four dogs were coaxed from the sewer and an adjoining nar- row drain pipe.

The pipe ended 200 yards away. Police theorized the dogs had chased a rodent . into the pipe and had been forced to spend the night

. there because the fourth dog was unable to turn around in the pipe.

The employee representatives received no indication whether the pay freeze will be lifted. or whether the government will propose amendments to the Civil Service Act to permit col- lective bargaining and arbitra-

Menon said aggression was a wrong word in connection with Goa. -since "you can't commit aggression on yoihr own coun- try." ‘He asserted India sought to end the colonialism which has been condemned in General Assembly declarations on that subject.

Louw said his government had gone out of the way to try to improve relations with tlze United Nations, but had been met only with a campaign of "calumny and vilification."
