By Ronald Lcbcl
OTTAWA (CP) - The
federal government is going ahead with a new program to make French a
working language in the
civil service without waiting for the report of thc
royal commission on hilin-
gualism   and  bicultural
A cabinet committee and a
small task force ot high-level
officials are preparing several
concrete steps to be announced
in Parliament soon after the
session resumes Sept. 30, informed sources say.
Thc government's- ob ective is
to enable French-Canadians to
deal in their own Janguagc with
any branch or agency of the
government, and to allow
French-language civil servants
to use French and Eng ish interchangeably in their every day-
work.
This is generally not the case
at present, as was reported by
the Glassco royal commission
to government organization.
Privy Council President
Tagne. chairman of the Cabinet committee on Bilingualism,
told the Commons June 25 that
French-Canadians in the civil
service now havc to "forget"
thcir mother tongue when ihey
go to work in the morning.
"We want to bring about as
soon as possible a true equality
between the two official languages, not only in written and
oral communications with thc
public, but within all the departments as well, thc minister
said.
OUTLINE EMERGING
Many technical detai s remain
to be worked out, but thc outline of the bilingual program is
emerging from official speeches
and interviews. The main features likely will be:
1. A salary bonus or cer-
" tain key officials who are
bilingual and occupy positions where knowledge' of
both English and French is
particularly important.
». Establishment o a bilingual institute of public
administration, where new
upper-echelon officials with
university training would he
sent for brief courses in
languages, Canada's two
main cultures and Canadian
history.
3. New methods of recruiting civil servants and
revised examinations for
French - speaking applicants
to encourage more of them
to enter government service. (It is argued that present civil service commission exams are "loaded"
with questions on Anglo-
American culture affecting
the marks of graduates of
French culture-oriented colleges.)
Meanwhile, the royal commission on biculturalism is gel-
ting set to begin its wide-ranging inquiry ncxt week. The in
members will meet in private
here to approve administrative
decisions and prepare a preliminary timetable.
The commission is expected
to hold its first public hearings
here in October and visit all
10 provinces later.
The co-chairmen of the commission are Andre Laurendeau,
51, editor-in-chief of.the Montreal French-language Le De
voir, and Davidson Dunlon, als*

SAIGON (AP)-Tension,
mounted in three major
South Vietnamese cities
and rumors spread in Saigon Monday of impending clashes between Buddhist and government
forces. An army officer
was reported mauled in
Da Nang after filing on
Buddhist demonstrators.

not to worry about hitting any-
since they had about nini
feet in which to manoeuvre.
Conversations with Fellin and
Throne were carried on by a
microphone dropped through a
hole six inches in diameter,
drilled from the surface. They
iported talking with Bova,
Supplies were lowered through
the six-inch hole.
Fcllin and Throne were together, close to the bottom ef
the mine. Bova was about l'i
feet away, separated from hi*
fellow-miners by debris from
the cave-in which occurred at
about the 200-foot level of the
mine.
Fellin reported that lovt was
slightly injured.
Rescue crews, meanwhile,
tried to drill a similar six-inch
communications hole directly to
Bova's position.
The mine, of which Fellin !•
a co - owner, is at Sheppton,
about nine miles from Hazleton
in the heart of the eastern Pennsylvania anthracite belt, and
about so miles northwest ef
Philadelphia.
Until Sunday, rescuers were
stopped daily in their efforts to
reach the men by recurring
rock falls and the flow of deadly
gases. Delays caused by shoring the shaft and the need of
additional ventilation prolonged
the work.
Pitchmen, specially trained in
working such sloping mines,
were enlisted Saturday to decide whether to continue or call
a halt. They checked the nearly
vertical mine shaft, gauged the
depth of the rockfall and then
the first six - inch hole was
drilled.
The Fellin mine, like many
others in this heartland of hard
coal, has been reactivated recently after being closed for
somc years because of in- '
creased demands for coal.

"Some of us said polygamy
is part of our culture." he said.
But the Christian teachers nad
been too rigid in their application of the Western Christian
concepts.
CRITICIZES DIVORCE
He said the African practice
of having three wives or more
is a great deal
than the Western scheme of
"taking one wife, divorcing her,
taking another and so on."
Other speakers noted that ner-
haps
overzcalous in their insistence
of monogamy immediately after
Africans became Christian.
Rt. Rev. R. S. Emrich of Detroit, Bishop of Michigan, defended monogamy. "In the long
run the only sexual relationship
that gives real dignity to
is monogamy." he said.
"People who attack monogamy are really attacking the
stature of women."
Earlier, Canon F. C- Synge of
Christchurch College, Christ-
church, New Zealand, told the
congress that laymen should be
allowed to administer the sacrament of holy
should perform services of marriage, baptism and burial.
Noting that the shortage of ordained ministers, particularly in
remote areas, means that
Anglicans cannot partake of the
eucharist regularly, Canon
Synge said the Anglican church
makes much of sacraments, and
  declares that the eucharist is generally necessary to salvation."
