CYPRUS IN QUESTION
The dispute among Britain; Turkey and Greece over Cyprus has
becn one of the most troublesome
to NATO. All three nations supported the resolution.
The secretary-general's powers
wepe part of a recommendation
by NATO1-; three "wise men"-
Canada's Pearson. Halvard Lange

Johnson told the ministers that
Russia's military capabilities are
"immense."
U.S. Stale Secretary Dulles told

In another development, Von

He spoke after British treasury

BUDAPEST (AP) - Thousands
of Budapest workers decided
Thursday night to strike until the
Soviet-imposed i-egimc of Premier
Janos Kadar releases- their imprisoned young leader.
There were reports that the Kadar regime had bren virtually
supplanted, and the real authority
was being wielded on the scene
by Gen. Ivan Serov, chief of the
Soviet Union's secret police,
' Defying the guns of Hungarian
soldiers and police, the . workers
walked out only a few hours aftcr
the end of a 48-hour general strike
called to protest Kadar's dictator-
iat polices. That strike caused at
least six deaths' in clashes with
Soviet troops and the Hungarian
police. .
The workers were angry over
the arrest of Sador Raw, 23-year-
old chairman of the Budapest
Central Workers' Council — tho
body representing all workers -n
the Hungarian capital. Sandor
Bari, chief lieutenant to Racz, also
was seized.
(In New Delhi, Prime Minister
Nehru,said Indian diplomats who
visited Hungary estimated that
about 25,000 Hungarians and 7,000
Russians were killed in the revolt
that flared more than seven weeks
fago. This was the first estimate
of any official nature. Previous
estimates of Hungarians killed
havc ranged between 20,000 and
50.000.
The new strike paralyzed nearly
all the factories in thc industrial
area.
There was a possibility the
strik'3 would spread to large plants
elsewhere — notably to the huge
iron and steel works on Csepcl
Island south of Budapest. There
workers were debating a sympathy
strike.
Soveral hundred Communist-con-
trolled Hungarian troops and police occupied thc Bajolannis electric factory, where Racz and Bari
had been working.

Western reporters drove up io

"We continue to strike until
Racz is back," workers told reporters,
Despite the presence of troops

Russian infantry in trucks were
brought to lb; square in front of.
thc plants. The infantry joined a

guard there since the Russians
crushed the rebellion.
Rumors circulated that Kadar
would resign and a now cabinet

would be formed. There was nothing from official'quarters to confirm these reports. They appear

Quebec Liberals Oppose Diefenbaker
By BERNARD DUFRESNE
OTTAWA <CP)-M6rc than 300
Quebec delegates Thursday night
took an "antl-Dlefcnbakcr" stand,
but decided to await the result of
the first ballot before deciding
which of the tw0 other candidates
for the Progressive Conservative
national leadership they wilh support en masse.
The powerful group of Quebec
delegates at thc party convention,
most of them French -' speaking,
reached the decision during a 45-
minute caucuswhich was barred
to the press.   .
However, 'informants said /the
group decided almost unanimously
to vole against John Dienenbaker,
MP.for Prince Albert, Sask., in
the balloting for national leadership today.
More than half the Quetoc delegates walked Into the Com mittee
room wearing buttons proclaiming
their support for Donald Fleming,
MP for Toronto- Egllnton.
- Meanwhile,-nominations for the
national leadership closed at 6
p.m. EST with, no last - minuto
riark:horse entries for the post
Hfin. Oeorse Drew- resigned1 he'
cause.qf Ill-health. -. ;
Rounding out the three-way lead-
ership raoe with Mr. Diefenbaker
and Mr. Fleming is Davie Fulton,
MP for Kamloops, B.C. All three
are lawyers.
LDisconlcnt with Mr. Dicfco-.
baker, according to Quebec dele-
voates, stemmed primarily from
thc fact he did not choose a
French-speaking delegate to nom-
Inato him or second his nomination.
The Diefenbaker nominating
team is Premier Flemming of New
Brunswick, mover, and Maj.-Gen
G, R, Pearkes, V.C, Commons
member for Esquimau . Saanich,
B.C.
A strong Diefenbaker supporter
—Col. Pierre Sevigny of Montreal
—said he deploys the situation
and added it could cost Mr. Diefenbaker up to 30 or'40 voles.   .
.Despite-lhe Quebec disaffection
Diefenbaker supporters professed
confidence their candidate woulrl
win, and likelv on the first ballot.,
A Diefenbaker supporter—party
leader Alvin Hamilton of his home
nrovlnre—look Mr. Balcer,In ta*k
for' his "shocked and vexed"
slit cm tint   to   reporters,
Mr. Balcer, Commons member
for Trois-Rivieres, Que., has not
given "public support to any candidate, bul it has been reported nc
favors Mr. Fleming. About three
wceks'ago-Mr. Balcer himself entered the race'but dropped, out
nine days lat-er, saying it wag important he continue his.function
as nalional association president.
Meanwhile, expressions of confidence came from the Fleming
and Fulton camps.
"My.attitude is that of happy
confidence/' Mr. Fleming said.
"Things looked good a couple of
days ago, betlef Wednesday and
even better Thursday,"
' He sald;he estimates he will gct
between 85 and 90 per cent of tte
Quebec vbtes.
Mr."Fulton was claiming 100 supporters from Quebec and 150 from
Ontnrio late1 In the day, and he
said more prospective votes were
coming in.
• "The fact that Mr, MacPhitson
and Mr."Mcthot are my mov«r
and seconder is proof that I am
getting generous and general support from" all over Canada," he
added. ' ,
He was-referring In M. A. Mac-
Pherson'of Regina, a'major figure
in the party, and Jean Mcthot of
Trois-Rivieres," influential in the
Quebec group.
Thc clow of nominations
brought final word that George
C. Nowlan, Coimmons member for
Digby - Annapolis - Kings, "\.S.,
would not be a candidate.
By. early evening, 1,2-11 voting
delegates had-been registered -it
the convention. There were 202 al.
ternates. ,
Thc stormy Quebec caucus was
presided over".by Mr. Balcer.
From .the corridor outside the
caucus, newspaper men heard fre.
quent outbreaks of loud cheers and
eet stomping, apparently the result of announcements or statements by Mr. Balcer and 6ther top
Quebec leaders,
Some boos also were heard and
delegates said that ihey were the
result of attempts by a handful
of Quebec delegates to speak on
behalf of Mr. Diefenbaker.
Mr. Balcer declined to make
any comment about the meeting,
describing it as "a family affair,'
but said he was happy with its
result.

Canadian Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA (CP) - A sweeping
new Progressive Conservative platform — one that would
require huge federal expenditures
—took shapc Thursday and pinned
to it was the hope of one critical
group that il may finally lead the
parly to an election victory.
"Workers and adherents of our
party," said lhe Toronto Danforth
Conservative Association, "arc
tired of being cast in a.ro!e of
permanent opposition and expect
in the forthcoming election to ic
• provided with a platform that will
show why a Conservative government should be elected."
Though most of the proposals
were accepted, differences arose
from the floor on a number of
issues. '
Others wow accepted over lhe
protests of individuals. Senator
John T. "Haig of Winnipeg. Conservative leader in the Senate,
argued against the plank calling
for Senate reform.
J. F. Shaw, Vancouver delegate,
thought the proposal to seek per-
vmanent   United   Nations   police
force  machinery  "very  unwise.
DEBATE   BABY  BONUS
Mrs. Grace Hartman of Sud-
bury, Ont., demanded to know
why family allowances- had not
teen mentioned in the proposed
platform.
Nova Scotia's highways minister
G. I. Smith, who headed the sub-
nommiltee on social benefits,
quickly explained the party is not
against the allowances but Is opposed to increases.
But he moved to insert a statement into Jho platform tc the effect that he pary supports baby.
bonuses.
The platform promised an immediate   comprehensive   hospital
I insurance scheme, higher old-age
pensions for ihe needy ami lower
i taxes by elimination of treasury
J
surpluses. Basic exemptions from
personal income taxes would be
raised  if possible.
PENSIONS IMPORTANT   .
There would be higher pensions
for war veterans, deductions from
taxable income for hospital insurance premiums and larger deductions for medical expenses.
Farmers who had to sell surpluses abroad at reduced prices
werc promised Ihcy would not
share all of the loss.
Delegates agreed to adopt a
policy, aimed at helping persons
with small incomes obtain proper
housing.
Self-employed persons would he
able to deduct pension fund payments from taxable income.
In addition, the parly proriHsed.
if elected, to 'embark on a vast -
schemciOf developing natural resources.
CHANGE LABOR VIEWS
But tl:c party had some different views   on   labor.  The   plank.,
adopted contained a wide variety
of proposals for which union's have ■
been   agitating.   It  would   revise
conciliation legislation and would
establish for workers under fed-.
eral jurisdiction minimum wages,'-
hours of labor and vatatons with
pay. The five-day waiting period
for unemployment insurance benefits would be eliminated.,        .v
Other proposals from the floor
also won immediate acceptance.
Albany Robjchaud, former MP
for Gloucester, N.B,, got his way.
when he insisted the word "distinctive" be used to describe the
"Canadian- national flag", which
the Conservatives would have Canada adopt immediately.
Sentor Haig protested the plank
calling for a federal • provincial-
conference to reform thc Senate.
It. A. (Murdo) MacPherson of Regina. sub - commiltee chairman;
disagreed with him.
