day, — | After a rowdy sitting Thurs- day night, a neaf-empty Com- jmons was quietly debating ir- |ereased pensions for the blind, disabled and old people when three University of Montreal students sang and flung leaflets down into the chamber.
The leaflets, printed in French and English, urged MPs to adopt a distinctive national flag.
The students, in the north gal- lery above and behind the spea- ker’s throne, began to sing O Canada in French but didn’t manage to finish the first line before they were hustled out by members of the protective staff.

Emergency
By GEORGE FRAJKOR AND
LAURENT CHIASSON MONTREAL (CP) — A four- engined Trans Canada Air Lines Viscount, carrying 45 pas- sengers made a safe emergency one-wheel-up landing at Mont- real International Airport Fri- day night.
The plane was diverted to Montreal on a flight from Tor- onto to Ottawa and hit te tar- mac at Montreal Airport just after 10:30 p.m. ,
TCA originally reported the plane had made a belly-lancding but passengers told reporters the plane had landed with. one wheel up and veered slightly be- fore one wing scraped the ground as it came to a stop.
There ‘were no injuries among the passengers and four crew | members.
Landing
Called Safe And Easy
;ger,. told reporters afterward’ that ‘everyone took it calmly.”
Stewardess Cynthia Davis, of suburban Beaconsfield, a flight attendant only a week, said the landing was so smooth she only realized the left landing gear was defective when the plane tilted to the left side as it came to a stop.
N.B. MAN ABOARD
‘Frank Logan of Saint John, N.B., said “the pilot deserves a pat on the back and the stewardesses were wonderful.” Dale Fenton. a defence de- partment employee in Ottawa, said the landing ‘‘was fantastic. It was the most. interesting ex- perience [ ever had because everything worked so well. “Discipline and conduct of the , crew was wonderful. The whole thing couldn't have been handled any better. |

BRITISH PEERS PONDER PLAN
LONDON (Reuters) — Brit- ain’s politically-minded peers are pondering a‘possible break with tradition that would allow hereditary title- holders to sit in the House of
| Commons.
The government is setting up an all-party committee of both Houses of-Parliament to study a number of House of
. Lords. problems—notably the
question whether or not a peer can relinquish a heredi- tary title to sit in the Com- mons.
The issue recently was spot- lighted by Britain's ‘“‘relue- tant peer,” former Labor leg- islator Anthony Wedgewood Benn. He fought against his “relegation” to the upper house when he inherited the title, Viscount Stansgate.
It is often inconvenient now for peers to serve as key min- isters and thus be unavailable to answer for their polices in the lower house.
There was a strong Labor opposition outcry when the Earl of Home was chosen as foreign secretary. A deputy, Edward Heath, had to be ap- pointed to handle the day-to- day foreign poticy matters in the Commons. ‘
The joint committee will consider ‘whether any, and if so, what’changes should be made in the rights of peers
. to sit in either House of Parliament or vote in a par- liamentary election.”

Efforts Blocked By Allies
BERLIN (‘AP)—The Westera | Allies blocked a Soviet bid for ‘a partial take - over of the air corridors that link isolated West Berlin to West Germany, it was | disclosed Friday
Inside the divided city itself Col. Andrei J. Solovyev, the Se viet commander, failed to break a ban on his entering the United States sector. He turned back without a word when an Ameri- can military policeman at the Communist wall asked him:
“Are- you Col. Solovyev?”
The two incidents threatened
to heat up the atmosphere in Berlin, which has been rela- tively relaxed since the start of
the New Year. They occurred | Just as U.S. Ambassador Llewel- lyn Thompson and Soviet For- eign Minister Andrei Gromyko met once more in Moscow in an
attempt to make some pro | gress on the problem. Planes flying to and from
West Berlin cross 110 miles of Communist East German terri- tory through one of three cor- ridors. Use of the corridors is regulated by the Berlin Air Safety Centre, one of the last places in Berlin where Soviet officers still work with Ameri- can British and French repres- entatives. The centre has been operating im West Berlin since the end of the Second World War.
WANTED SPACE
Wednesday, a Soviet officer at the centre startled American, British and French officers with the request to reserve the Frankfurt - Berlin Corridor up to an altitude of 7,000 feet for three hours and 20 minutes on the folowing morning. The space was needed, he said, for Soviet military transports.
No, said the Western Allies. The rules call for all flights is the corridors to be announced separately no booking of “blocks of altitade.”’ | On Thursday the Soviet offt- cer came back with another re quest. He wanted the Berlin- Hanover and the Berlin-Ham- burg corridors reserved for four
hours: this mornifig, up to 7,000 “feet
No, said the Western Allies again
Both times the Western con- trollers served notice Westers commercial and military planes would be flying the corridors as usual
