By KEN KELLY OT'I‘AHA (CPJ—AThe collapse Wednesday of negotiations for speedy passage of the govern- ment's 1962-03 spending pro- gram could lead to a crisis in Parliament and a new election. Liberal and New Democratic spokesmen, charging that the government is trying to scuttle Parliament's ancient right to ‘control the purse strings. re- jected a Conservative proposal that they waive certain House rules to push through the de- tailed spending program.

However, Liberal House Leader Dione] Chevrier said h s available Churchill has a further sugges— tion. There are three key elements 3in the crisis which now may I arise: 1.

March 5. the government faces the prospect of being unable to pay its debts on time. There are other ways for the government to pay the bills but they can't be used while Parlia- ment is sitting.
