Canada Sells 24

Jets To Israel

OTTAWA (CP) - With the ap- proval of Britain and the United states, the government has agreed to sell 24 Canadian Sabre jet fighter planes to Israel. These countries themselves are not sup plying arms to Israel.

Prime Minister St. Laurent an- nou t id a statement Friday approval of the sale and said the government's decision was 'greatly influenced" by the fact that Egypt has received "large numbers" oi jet fighters from Rus- sia and. "even niorellmportant. a considerable number oi modern jet bombers. of which Israel poa-

sesses none."

Israel asked for the Sabres in April but the government's deci- sion was delayed first by a num- bcr of- border incidents between Israel and the Arab states which increased Middle East tension and then by Egyptian seizure of the Suez Canal.

Mr. St. Laurent said the Sabres will be shipped to israfl during the next six months. I during this period political clrcu t warranted cancellation or post- ponement of the outstandlnglgart of the order. such action won be

Baflies-all n Commons Marked Drew's Leadership Career

OTTAWA (CP) - Hon. George Drew, resigning as leader of the Progressive Conservative party. can look back on eight years oi battles against the federal Liberal government. l

But he likely will be remem- lx-red mainly for two Commons struggles which followed the most serious illness of his career.

His party's forces waged a fill- huster-a rare device in Canada's Parliament - and through long days of speechmaking forced the government to bark down on its plan to give indefinite extension to broad powers held by Defence Production Minister Howe. The Powers were put on a temporary three-year basil.

He described several emergenci- es in which he successfully invoked the cooperation of aircraft organiz- ations in bringing medical special- ists to the city and the gradual unfolding of the program which brought the Trans-Canada page- ant here to officially open the Up- ton Airport.

"We would not have had the air- port except for the co-operation of Senator Mclntyre who worked val- iantly with all of us who were in- terested in developing the new method of transportation." Dr. Jenkins said.

Conference Ends

LONDON (AP) - The I8-nation Sues conference ended Friday night with majority agreement to form the Suez Canal users Asso- ciation within 10 days.

But France expressed disappoint- ment at the association's final form. Foreign Minister Christian Pineau surprised the meeting by withholding i mediate approval, apparently viewing the project as too favorable to Egypt.

OTTAWA i('P -- l-Ion. George

Drew, ailing for two months, has relinquished the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party in a "heartbreaking" d ' i to make way for a new leader be- fore the federal election expected next year. His resignation", written in his Toronto hospital room Thursday, was made public Friday and party aI8ClIiI19I'y swung into act- ion to choose his successsor.

The letter from the 62-year-old Mr. Drew, party leader since 1948 said that although doctors had as- sured him he will be restored to health in a few months. they had said it would be iiextremely un- wise for me to take on the heavy strain of a session and an' elec- tion campaign so soon after my illness."

He said his decision was heart- breaking. But "under the circum- stances and in fairness to our party." he was leaving the way free for another leader.

HARD DECISION

”It is terribly hard for me to accept the circumstances which have forced this upon me at this time."

The letter was addressed in Leon Baicer. president of the party's na- tional assoclation. and was iuued at a press conference by Mr. Balcer and lion. Earl Rowe, aet- ing party leader.

The reaig tiun w ves the. party V tha I ' new ch n - next sas- aion of Parliament;-'&ch is C- pected to be followed by an aloe- tion-likely in June. No one per son holds an outnaoding favorite position for the peat: there are half - a - dozen or more possible candidates.

Mr. Rowe told reporters he he- lieves the party will want to call a leadership convention before the end of the year.

Immediate speculation was that It will be In late November. in Ot- lawn or Winnipeg.

(XJNTINUE A8 MP

Mr. Rowe said he has no reason to believe Mr. Drew will discon- tinue representing bia Ontario con- stituency of Carleton for the rest of the present Parliament. He said he does not know Mr. Drew's plans beyond that.

”There is no rumor of anything permanently wrong with Mr. Drew's health," Mr. Rowe said. "The doctors assure him that without this burden he will return to health quickly."

Mr. Drew's resignation culmi- nates a series of illnesses which began in November, 1961. with I severe attack of meningitis. It knocked him out of action for three months. Meningitis is an in- fection of the membrane lining the brain and spinal cord.

But the Conservative leader. a tall strongly-hullt man. returned to the I955 session of Parliament with apparent vicor and led a suc- cessful o n n n s it I o n filibuster against indefinite extension of the wide powers of Defence Produc- tion Minister Howe.

LED PIPELINE DEBATE

Last fall he developed pneu- monia during an active cross- eountry spc-akin! tour. Again he returned to the Commons and last ion led his party during the meat”: roughest battle in many years.

But near the end of the session he was hit by influenza and a tooth infection and left on holi- days two weeks before the Aug. 14 session's end.

At Friday's press conference. I statement was issued from Dr. Ray F. Farquharson, a friend oi Mr. Drew who has been treating him in Toronto.

WILL RECOVER

The doctor said leader "has been suffering from severe physical and nervous as- haustion" but is responding well in treatment and will retain llll energy and vigor "within a period of several weeks."

"We have advised him that. al- though he may look forward to years of useful and productive.
