OTTAWA. ont. - The Canadian
government was urged by two
liberal members Of parliament
Tuesday to take place In the

Prime Minister Mackenzie King
encouraged neither OF the speakers.
He said there was "a time and .
place for everything" and con-
tended that II Canada WIRE TO seek

NEW COP LEADER
 PUZZLES PARTY

Washington, Dec. 14-(UP)-Re- publican leaders conferred today in an attempt to agree on a new party chairman to succeed Joseph w. Martin, Jr. A lack of an outstand- ing candidate indciated that he might be required to stay in office indefinitely.
 Wendell L. Willkie, defeated Re- publican president nominee, was mentioned as a possibility either for the $25, ,000-a-year chairmanship or as an unpaid counselor to the na- tional committee. Martin profeSsed not to know whether Willkie was being considered and, while praising his qualifications, doubted the job would fit his plans
 Numerous Republican leaders are here for the semi-annual gridiron club dinnerl Among the 1940 crop of presidential candidates-all of them presumably available for 1944 and eager to influence selection of the party chairman-were Willkie, Sens. Arthur H. Vanderberg, R., Mich. and Robert A. Taft, R., O., and Dis trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
