Saucer Seen Forerunner Of Mile-Long Flying Craft

over land and sea Thursday.

The two successful tests ap- peared to mark the beginning of a new era in land and sea trans- port.

The four ton, oval-shaped Saunders Roe Hovercraft first gave a 15-minute land display of its ability to ride on a curhion of air forced down by an engine- driven fan. The silver-and-blue craft hovered about a foot off the ground and moved slowly in turn in all directions.

Later the Hovercraft’s two-man crew made their first flight over water off this yachting centre.

™ \elected its Progressive Conserva- *|tive government . Thursday. It

trimmed’ Premier Leslie Frost’s heavy House majority but left him with a thumping margin of 44 seats over Liberals and CCF combined.

The Progressive Conservatives rolied easily to their sixth straight election victory since 1943, winning 71 of the 98 seats.

Liberals took 22 and the CCF five.

Opposition strength was almost doubled from the 11 Liberal and three CCF seats in the last legis- lature. The Conservatives, with 83 seats at dissolution and one Conservative vacancy, lost 11 to the Liberals and two to the CCF.

CABINET INTACT

Premier Frost—who said in a victory statement that he had ex- pected to lose some party strength—won an overwhelming personal victory in Victoria and saw his 20-man cabinet returned intact.

Both opposition party leaders were re-elected handily, Liber! John Wintermeyer held Waterloo North and CCFer Donald C. Mac- Donald swamped three opponents Hin—¥York South.

Early returns put the Progres- sive Conservatives into a quick lead that was never in doubt. Premier Frost won an over whelming personal victory in his home riding of Victoria.

Speaking from the balcony of his campaign headquarters in Lindsay, he said the victory was “a mandate from the people to - continue on to greater things m the days to come.”

Mr. Wintermeyer, who received the returns_at a party rally in a Kitchener Hotel, conceded the victory to the Progressive Con- servatives at 10.25 pm. EDT.
