conclusively that the Soviet
Union bases itself solely on a

military one. It is a challenge

in the B.C. Legislature

arty of the Soviet Union has
Soviet circles: 1. That the Sov-

2. That there is a big split

The third big issue on which
the anti-Communists of the
world were concentrating their
fire was the question of the
anti-party group of Malenkoy,
Kaganovich, Molotov, Bulgan-
in and Shepilov.

One of the secretaries of the
central committee, Kirichenko,
spoke of the past five years
as a period of great advance,
especially since the 20th Con-
gress.

All that was obsolete had
been swept aside, the road for
everything bold and new was
being opened in agriculture
and industry and Leninism was
being reasserted. Yet these
bold changes were attacked by
the anti-party group, he said.

This anti-patry group was
in the bog of conservatisim. Its
members manipulated quota-
tions, divorced from life and
Marxism.

He said the persent commit-
tee had been proven right on
the decentralization of indus-
try, on meeting the shortages
in agriculture, with the line
of the 20th Congress.

_ Socred huck-passing on jobless’

_ “Labor is not accepting the Socred government’s rejection of their demands to take
action on unemployment,” LPP provincial organizer Charlie Caron said Sunday this week
in a radio broadcast over CKLG. “Unionists will collect tens of thousands of signatures
on a petition demanding government action, and present this petition to the legislature be-

from the steps of the legisla-
tive buildings, B.C. Federa-
tion of Labor president Bill
Black make it clear — backed
by the demands and shouts
from the delegates for the gov-
ernment to provide jobs—that
this demonstration was just a
forerunner of many such ac-
tions to come, unless the gov-
ernment acts on the issue.”

Caron said that time and
again emphasis was made by
the delegates for the neces-
sity of labor-farmer unity to
bring about an alternative
government that would legis-
late policies corresponding to
‘the interests of the people of
this province.

-“Rest assured,” he conclud-
ed, ‘that Tabor is not accept-
ing the Socred government’s
rejection of their demands.”

Ever wonder what Canada’s blond queen of the ice, Barbara

Ann Scott (left) is doing now? Since she married Tom
King (right) three years ago, Barbara Ann hasn’t even
been skating for pleasure. She’s living with her husband
in Chicago and describes herself as “just a housewife.”
Except for making one TV commercial, she hasn’t donned

skates since her marriage.

“SPORTLIGHT

FEW belated words on the
basketball fiasco in Chile,
where the Soviet Union won
the world title and then was
deposed in favor of Brazil be-
cause the Moscow team re-
fused to play the aggregation
representing “China” — actu-
ally a team from Taiwan.
Contention of the Russians
(and Bulgarians) was that the
“team of Taiwan” represented
“nobody.”

But the International Bas-
ketball Federation, injecting
cold war politics into sport,
sought to create “two Chinas”
and disqualified the Soviet

‘team.

“An unreasonable and ridi-
culous decision,” said a state-
ment from the All-China
Athletic Federation in Peking.
Chinese sportsmen expressed
deep apppreciation to the

‘Soviet and Bulgarian basket-

ball teams for their firm re-
fusal to play Taiwdn basket-
ball team of the Chiang Kai-
sheq clique.

In Moscow the press called
the decision “a screaming in-
justice” and pointed out that
it “in effect annulled results
of the world championship.”

” Surprise of the tourney was
Canada’s fine victory over the
Soviet team. The United States,
which sent a weak entry from
a country with many top bas-
ketball teams, lost to the Sov-
iets and barely scraped through
against a number of second-
rate squads.

If Canada could persuade °

the Soviet team to tour this

country, record gates would
be assured.

Bullfighting is not general-
ly regarded as a sport for wo-

“men, but Carolyn Hayward of
St. John’s, Newfoundland, a

stenographer, is determined to

become the best woman mata-
dor in the world.

She became interested in the
sport — or art — while visit-
ing Spain. One day at Toledo’s
bullring she couldn’t contain
herself any longer, so she
leaped into the ring and made
a few passes with the bail.

However, she fcund little
encouragement in Spain, so
travelled to Mexico, where
she had a chance to improve
her technique by» practising
with heifers. é y

Finally she got.a chance to.
fight for pay — and did well
enough to have the judges
award her an ear of her first
bull. 5

I watched Archie Moore on
TV the other night, fooling
around with Eddie Cotton at
Exhibition Gardens. It was
about what I expected, and
that’s why I skipped the
“fight.”

Well, now, what else could
you expect, fans? You really

didn’t think old Archie was

going to endanger a whopping
gate in a return match with
Durelle by mixing it up with
Cotton, did you?

Man and boy, Moore has
been fighting for some 30
years now, and after years in
the bush league, hias suddenly
become the hottest fight prop-
erty since Joe Louis. Success

“is sweet, especially at Archie’s

age, and he’s determnied to -
make the most of it.

Meanwhile heavyweight
champ Floyd Patterson is win-
ning few friends by his fight-
a-year policy. Some _ think
Moore could take him, ~ but.
Archie is biding his time (he
seems to have no worries
about’ the advancing years).
First Durelle, then maybe | .
Patterson, he says.”
