—_ Chosen Miss Indian, America from 91 contestants repre- senting 47 Native Indian tribes in the United States and Canada was pretty Sandra May Gover, 20, of Brigham City, Utah. The contest was held during the All-American Indian days celebration at Sheridan, Wyoming this month. One law for rich, another for poor ? TORONTO Favors for a rich Italian widow in the matter of a quick grant of citizenship, while pursuing the strictest policies against permitting entry of East Indians and Chinese were charges levelled against Immigration Min- ister John Pickersgill this month. | “My view is that there can be discrimination in immigra- tion,” said Pickersgill’ in the House of Commons, in defend- ing his “selective immigration policy. Adding fuel to the wrath of Opposition MPs he then pro- ceeded to defend granting of citizenship to Madame Giovan- ne Elisa Feltrinelli this spring, despite her violations of the Canadian Citizenship Act. Tory member William Ham- itton of Notre Dame de Grace, Mentreal, charged that the minister had shown favoritism tc Madame Feltrinelh because of her wealth. The woman was absent from Canada for most of the year preceding ap- plication for citizenship, in- cluding seven months aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean. The act requires a steady one year residence prior to grant- ing of citizenship. The case was “not in the least unusual” claimed Pick- eisgill. And in his further de- fense said that Tory MPs had also’ been known to speed citiz- enship favors from the depart- ment. : A further scandal in the case involved the revelation that the lawyer who acted for the wealthy widow was Prime Minister St. Laurent’s nephew, Paul F.

Delegates from Montreal, Toronto, London, Ottawa and Lritish Columbia attended the conference, which was presid- ed over by Congress chairman Dr. James G. Endicott. The cempaign was suggested to the conference by the B.C. Peace Council, which has already leunched a strong campaign on the west coast. It is now ex- rected to get rolling all across Canada. Many influential groups, such as the Canadian Labor Con- gress and the largest churches, heve stated their anxiety to see all tests stopped. “Thirty -nine governments, representing most of the earth’s people, are officially demand- ing it,” said Congress officials. ‘A strong stand by Canada could get results. To do this, tne government needs articu- late public support.” Leading off the national campaign, Dr. Endicott: has forwarded the following letter tc Prime Minister St. Laurent: “T have been pleased to see Canada’s representative at the five-nation disarmament talks in London arguing for a start on disarmament. “T would like to respectfully suggest that Canada should propose to the powers concern- ed that they agree together to stop testing atomic and hydro- gen weapons. / “You will have read the re-_ poris of the scientists who warn us of the danger to the unborn if these tests are not stopped. “You will also be aware that ro country could secretly vio- jiate such an agreement,. be- cause any test can almost at once be kncwn to all other countries.
