President Charles de Gaulle Friday night served notice on his

CONCERN OVER ALGERIA
Behind this criticism is general
concern over de Gaulle's failure
to end the, war in Algeria through
his policy of self-determination.
De Gaulle's reply to agitation
against him came in a speech in
this French Alpine town.
"France has regained her national unity and her national cohesion," he said. "Our sa vation
depends entirely on mantaing

with special emphasis tonight
that outside this unity, there is

Fight For
Leadership
By ED SIMON
Canadian Prcss Staff Writer
For the ncxt 17 days, Britain
will resound with the campaigning of two claimants for an office whose fate rests in the
hands of an electorate ot barely
230 of their fellow-citizens.
Election day is Nov. 7.
At stake is the leadership of
the Labor party, a body which
claims 6,000,000' - odd members
which receives electoral support
from twice that number of voters and which entrusts the choice
of its leader to its representatives in the House of Commons.
The emergence of Haro d Wilson as a candidate marks the
first occasion in nearly 30 years
that an incumbent leader has
been challenged. It is also the
high-water mark to date of the
efforts by a section of the party
to oust Hugh Gaitskell from the
post he has held since 1955.

Gaitskell took over from Earl
Attlee with his predecessor's

Hits Ottawa
OTTAWA (CP)- A by-election
feud in Peterborough over television campaigning spread to
the capital Friday amid a rash
of statements and counter-statements about political pressure
being exerted on the Board of
Broadcast Governors.
It began when C. Donald
Munro, Liberal candidate in Peterborough, charged theConser
vatives were able to broadcast

after BBO chairman Dr Andrew Stewart over - ruled the
board's solicitor at the instigation of Allister Grosart, national
director of the Progressive Conservatives.
Within a few hours Prime Min-
ter   Diefenbaker   had   stated
firmly that the government has
direct or indirect control over
!G decisions, Mr. Grosart defended his action in a jengthy
statement and Dr. Stewart commented tersely:
"The statement (Mr. Munro's*
does not • include all the facts
relevant to the case."
Mr. Munro demanded Dr. Stewart's resignation, adding:
"The action of Dr. Stewart in
re-interpreting broadcasting regulations at the behest of Allister
Grosart, and his failure to communicate directly to the station ter days, such as 1957 when
involved, is highly irregular and British Home Secretary R. *

Hints At Pre-Christmas Session
By KEN KELLY
Canadian Press Staff Writer
OTTAWA (CP) - Conservative leaders here to tune up
party organization got a strong
hint Friday of a pre-Christmas
session of Parliament from
Prime Minister Diefenbaker.

later to reporters that he dis
'cussed the question at a closed
meeting with top party organiz-
ers-,-indicated' also'that if experience shows such a session is
successful in getting work done,
It'ipay set a pattern for future
The prime minister's remarks,
made following an hour - long]
speech to — odd members of the
Conservative party's organization committee, were his strongest public statements on thc
long-mooted fall session of Parliament.
NO D/ijE SET
But bev emphasized that no
date has been set and that, lfi
MPs are caJled to meet before
Christmas, it will not be because
of -any specific problem This
was clearly aimed at speculation that the, session would be
called to deal with serious un
employment.
A pre-Christmas session,
said, would make it possible to
clear up the throne speech debate and the early sessional business that normally occupies
Parliament during January and
early February.
He conceded that he had
strongly opposed in the past the
idea of fall sessions. But he said
he now believes the majority of
MPs favor such a course.
JANUARY TO AUGUST
The last session started Jv?r..
14 and stretched through to Aug.
he noted. That meant MPs,
many of them young men with
families, were in the capital
when thcir children were home
from school.
"They would like to be home
when school is out 10 that they
would have their children about
them in July and August."
The British Parliament, he
added, found it more efficient
and effective to break its wofk
into pre-Christmas, January-to-
Easter and post - Easter meetings. If the government finds
that, experience holds true for
Canada "it might well be the
basis for the future."
