‘ Canada's
262 MPs, some joyful, some re-
lieved and others just ex-
hausted, were free to leave the

capital for a summer holiday '

after the longest parliamentary
session inthe country's history
recessed Wednesday.
’ After sitting 341 days in a ses-
sion Liberal House Leader Mit-
chell Sharp deseribed as “proof
Parliament is not just-a ma-
chine churning oul legisla-
tion," MPs are scheduled to re-
turn Oct. 12.

Walter Baker, Progressive
Conservative House Leader,

said this session has been un- -

productive and far too long but
beth men, in charge of legisla-
tion and procedural taclics, did
agree on which bills were the
must significant and dramatic.

Endéof the session came on a
fittingly dramatic note Wednes-
day, when, alter 10 yeara of tor-
menting debale, the House
stripped the Criminal Code of
the death penalty for civilian
cases uf murder. The death

penalty remains possible under
military law.

Since the 30th Parliament
opened nearly two years ago

nearly 100 new laws or changes

to old laws have been. passed.

field, 62, at a leadership con-
vention last February. The
previous August, New Demo-
crais hailed Mr. Broadbent, 40,
as the man to replace firey Da-
vid Lewis, 67, who resigned to
become a university academic,

As Mr. Clark’s face was con-
tinuously whipped into the pub-
lic eye in newspapers, maga-
zines and television, public
opinion polls revealed an un-
precedented drop in the 56-
year-old prime minister's
popularity.

However, recent speculation
on Parliament Hill contains
hints that the public eye will
twinkle again for Mr. Trudeau
before the next election, despite
another recent selback over
government plans to implement
bilingual air traffic control. The
next election is expected in 1978

granted themselves a 33 1-3 per

salary lo $56,600 the income of
cabinet ministers and the Oppo- .
sition leader and to $34,600 the

Also granted by MPs last
spring were increases in the
