Until after election

A controversial issue on

which Premier W. A. C. Ben-

nett and his cabinet have done
some fancy manoeuvering was
postponed until the day after
the election when an applica-
tion to quash Vancouver’s city
bylaw permitting commercial
sports on Sundays was ad-
journed Wednesday this week
to September 20.

The adjournement was a
break for Vancouver Mount-
ies, who have two Sunday
games scheduled, and even
more of a break for Premier
Bennett, whose refusal to act
on a Vancouver plebiscite on
Sunday sports earned him

considerable hostility from
Vancouver citizens this year.

Should the court throw out
the city’s bylaw and ban Sun-
day sports, Bennett would be
under the gun to do something
about the Vancouver plebs-
cite, favoring commercial
sports.

In Supreme Court chambers,
corporation counsel R. K. Ba-
ker told Mr. Justice Clyne
that city council had not met
until Tuesday and he had just
received instructions to. have
outside counsel engaged, but
had not had time to instruct
such counsel.

The case was adjourned to

September 20.

Fourteen candidates nominated by LPP

Fourteen LPP candidates
filed their nomination papers
this week for the September
19 provincial election.

Following its declared policy
of working for unity and elec-
tion of CCF, LPP and Labor
candidates and for defeat of
the Socred government's give-
away policies, the LPP is not
contesting any seats held by

oo 7?

GOAL DEAL NEXF?
Socreds plan
new giveaways

Charges that the Bennett governm ent, if it is returned to office on September
19, is planning further giveaways of the province's natural resources, were voiced by

LPP candidates this week.
In Nelson-Creston constituency, Thomas E. Mountford, LPP candidate, as-

serted that the Socreds had not abandoned. their Columbia River plans which, in

MENZIES AGERE

British and French build-up of armed forces in Cyprus to intimidate
Egypt into accepting their demands on the Suez dispute is arousing alarm .
throughout the world. In this issue Arthur Clegg gives the background and f
points to solution of the dispute.

dependent. Representatives
from local labor and progres-
sive groups persuaded him to
withdraw his candidacy in fa-
vor of Cyril Newman, the CCF
nominee. Despite well - inten-
tioned but divisive efforts to
get him to reconsider, he has
stood by his statement that
he would not run against a
CCF candidate and so en-

danger a
seat. :
In Fernie, the CCF is not i
contesting the seat held by ;
Tom Uphill, departing from its Be!
long-held policy of contesting A
every’ constituency. In past

years, its insistence upon con-

testing Fernie has engendered

the CCF in the last legislature ene ae Sa
and has withdrawn from seats
where the margin between

CCF and Socreds is close.

The effect.of the LPP policy
is already apparent in Comox
where William Moore, CCF
member in the last legislature,
having declined renomination
by the CCF, announced his
intention of standing as an in-
