By ALAN DONNELLY
Canadian Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA (CP)-Angry opposition cries of "foul Fascist deed,"
"an abomination" and "the sorriest day In Canadian history"
welled up against thc Liberal gov*
eminent Thursday in the stormiest
day so far of the Commons gas
pipeline battle.
Thc uproar, becoming bedlam at
times, was over the governments
apparent attempt to manoeuvre its
hotly-contested pipeline legislation
into a position where the powerful
weapon of closure can bc applied
to limit debate on the third .stage
of, lhe bill's passage through the
House.
Trade Minister Howe began the
manoeuvring as the measure went
before the 'Commons, sitting in
committee of the whole, for what
normally would have been clause
by-clause study of lis seven sec
tions.
By the supper adjournment he
had succeeded—by moving that
further consideration bc postponed
—in having the first two clauses
brought before the House wlthaut
discussion.
ANGKY ARGUMENTS
Cabinet ministers, despite bitter
opposition queries, declined to
state the purpose of thc moves.
But it was apparent the government wanted to bring each clause
before thc committee without debate so that later it could impose
debate-limiting closure on the entire committee stage of the bill.
The tactics roused Progressive
Conservative and CCF rm ibers' to
fighting pitch. Thcy threw up
procedural barriers which wcrc
knocked down, after angry arguments, by the combined voting
strength of Liberal and Social
Credit parties.
Seven votes ■ wcrc called during
the afternoon sitting — three of
them appeals on point - of-order
rulings by committee chairman
W. A, Robinson.
Donald Fleming (PC—Toronto
Eglinton) challenged the government to defend its tactics—which
it had not done to then—and said
thc cabinet is "content to go i.Siead
■a Twrnfitrate uuon a
foul,
and in silence perpetrate upon
free Canadian Parliament - tn
Fascist deed like this."
TO COME UP AGAIN
Finance Minister Harris, government House leader, replied that
Mr, Howe's motions merely postponed consideration of thc clauses.
Thcy would later be brought
again and voted on.
Mr. Fleming said the motions did
not constitute closure but they were
"the most shocking, most effective
and most immediate form of closure that could possibly bc at-
tem|ted."
"This indeed is the sorriest day
in Canadian history," said John
Diefcnbaker (PC—Prince Albert).
At another point, after a CCF
member was momentarily cut off
by chairman Robinson as he tried
to speak on one of the many points
of order raised during the day,
normally soft-spoken CCF Leader
Coldwell said:
"This   whole   procedure   is   an
abomination to me.'
Opposition leader Drew, speaking on the same point, urged Mr.
Robinson to support the opposition
argument that Mr. Howe's postponing motion was ourof.ordcr.
"Unless our appeal is heard on
this occasion, then the very root oE
parliamentary democracy would
be destroyed by what is being done
here  this afternoon,"  Mr.  Drew
said.
Mr. "Robinson ruled against thc
opposition's point, as he did three
times during the afternoon.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)-Turk
ish-Cypriots armed with stones and
clubs rioted through tlie streets of
nicosia and Larnaca Thursday,
seeking revenge against Greek*
Cypriots.
Their anger was aroused by the
fatal, shooting Wednesday night of
a Turkish-CypriDt police sergeant
at Polis, a village 60 miles from
Nicosia.
In Nicosia, the mobs stoned
Greeks and their property. One
group attacked with guns, firing
from a , speeding taxi. British
troops moved in and separated the
Turk from the Greek-Cypriots wilh
a barbed-wire fence, but several
ground fighting ar.m of the movement for union with Greece. Hs
was the third Turkish-Cypriot po-:
lice man killed since the Greek-
Cypriot campaign against British
rule of Cyprus began 14 monlh»
ago.
Turkish - Cypriots, outnumbered
by the Greeks 4 to 1, want the
British to keep Cyprus but insist
that if Britain withdraws from the
island it must 'revert to Turkish
rule. Cyprus was leased by Brt-
ain from Turkey in thc 19th ccn-.
tury. then annexed as a colony in
the First World War.

At Larnaca, a port 23 miles
from Nicosia, the mobs rushed
through the main street sma*?'!1?

could* reach,' Police managed to
disperse the rioters, but not before several persons were injured
seriously.
Another protest, a parade of
Ttirkish-Cypriots, was staged in
Limassol. Late in thc afternoon,
authorities reported order had
been restored throughout thc island.
The Turkish policeman whose
death aroused his compatriots was
shot three times at point-blank
range by two masked men. Au-
thorities'blamed EOKA, the under
cosia were ordered to close their
premises so long as emergency
regulations are in effect on Cyprus. Seventeen apartments above
the shops also were ordered vacated and closed.

bombings last Monday in which a
British soldier was killed. British
authorities said the occupants are

venturesome Frenchmen who hope1
lo drift to Europe on a raft left
Halifax harbor Thursday and
headed into the* rolling Atlantic.
Their ungainly log craft, about
30 feet long, was lowed beyond thc
harbor mouth by a fishing boat.
The intrepid quartet hope to
cross the ocean in two or three
monlts if'the wind and the Gulf
Stream co-operate. They think they
may land in England but any solid
European soil will "be fine.
Skipper-navigator Henri Beaud-
out waited three weeks lo*^ a tow
and a good r\orth wind to keep the
raft off shore. He had both Thursday.
• The wind blew strong and chill
under a blue-grey overcast sky as
the raft moved down the harbor a
little before 2 p.m.' ADT close
under the stern of the fishing vessel Promise.
The air temperature was a raw
47 degrees, but the sea, rolling
slowly Mowing a Wednesday night
storm, was a cold 36 degrees.
Capt. Cyril Hcnneberry of Sam
bro, N.S., undertook to tow the
raft at least 20 miles. He planned
to cast the rope-tied craft adrift
about - five miles beyond Cape
Sambro at the harbor entrance.

OTTAWA (CP) - Progressive
Conservatives chanted a ditty specially composed for Immigration
Minister Pickersgill after he put
his foot into Thursday nights up-
rorartous Commons pipeline debate.
Composed by George Hces (PC-

See how he runs. |
He stepped upon thc dictator's
toes,

His face as red as a full-grown

The sing-song followed a battle
for the floor involving Mr, Pickersgill, Mr, Hees, Trade Minister
Howe and Colin Cameron (CCF-
Nanaimo) in a simultaneous attempt to speak. None could—members were making too much noise.
But when Mr. Pickersgill jumped
up, Mr. Howe, already on his feet,
hastily motioned him to sit down.
Mr. Pickergill did, but not before
Davie Fulton (PC—Kamloops),
spotted him and moved that the1
immigration minister b*^ heard.
In the procedural wrangle that
followed, Mr, Pickersgill wasn't
heard.  But the ditty was.

"They're streamlining Us on the

Thursday with some pride.
No drill for drills sake is the

LONDON (Reuters) - British

Some Britons smiled and pinned

questioned about world affairs:
, 1. The West would. use atomic
weapons ''instantly" if attacked,
. 2.' Canadian civil defence planning is unwise in proposing the
mass evacuation of big cities; "the
best place is In your cellar,"
3. The West badly need "a
central organ of decision either
for political policy or. military
strategy"—a problem that does not
exist in the Communist world;
NATO was no answer.
. 4." There are no "gadgets,"
either . In existence or planned,
that will "do away wilh the need
for good,, highly-trained efficient
land armies."
Flags flew here and there, but
general public indifference infuriated older Britons who remembered thc Empire at its. height.
Empire,. Day was initiated in
1902 by Canada and was adopted In
1904 throughout thc Empire! Its
avowed object was to-help ^'produce patriotic citizens of the.Em.
pire, special prominence * being
given .'to. saluting the flag." •
LOSING TERRITORIES
Since that day, more and more
overseas territories that were.once
under British control' have become
independent* or moved toward that
goal.    . '
But in some colonies, the drive
toward nationalism has led to open
strife, with Britain reluctant to
surrender key military bases.'without what It considers arc proper
safeguards.
Newspapers Thursday noted the
chances with varied feelings:'-.The
pro-Empire Daily Express,:: which
was responsible for -the -..-'paper

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
United States indirectly notified
Russia Thursday that the U.S
joint chiefs of staff would probably accept if invited to inspect
thc Soviet armed forces.
The matter was handled in such
a way as lo leave no duubt that
the Soviet government was being
prodded to ask thc American military high command to visit Moscow and tour Russia.
Thursday the New York 'Daily
News printed a report attributed
to a United Nations source that
Russia had sent word to Washington it would welcome a visit by
the U.S. military command "for
inspection of Soviet armed services.'
INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS
Murray Snyder, assistant White
House press secretary, said he
"wouldn't be surprised'1' 'if the
joint chiefs of staff would accept
an invitation to visit the Soviet
Union. He hastened to explain that
thcy had not received an invita
tion.
■ Snyder, however, saidithere have
been "informal discussions a-iut
high officials of our government
visiting Russia" ever since thc
Geneva conference last July.
. Behind these comments was a
move by thc Soviet government
which appeared to b6 of more
modest pronortinns. ■
Col.  Philip  Bachinsky,  air  at
tache at the Soviet embassy, last
Monday extended an Invittfhm
from Marshal Vasily Sokolovsky,
chief of the general staff of the
Soviet Army (including air force),
for Gen, Nathan Twining, U.S. Air
Force chief of staff, to send a delegation of two or three high officers
of Ihc air force to a celebration of
aviation day in the Soviet Union ,
June 24. iBachinsky said through
an aide Thursday he has not yet
received a reply.
2 POINTS OF VIEW
At the defence department, officials said Gen, Twining hai*l received word that a formal invitation to Moscow would be forthcoming, y
It appeared that two points of
view were building up in the government about the advisability bf
sending high level military officials
to Russa and receiving a reripro*-
cal Soviet leadership visit here.:;
One vew, which promptly found
expression in the state department,
was that the -Soviets would so ear-
fully "control, whatever American
visitors" saw that the information
gained would not really be significant. Yet the impression might be
createdrby. skilful Russian propji-
■gandists tjiat the Soviet Union.was
■really relaxing its military secrecy. A'false, impression, to thqt
effect, officials!said, cculd be hurtful lo free world security.  •','■' ,'
