The revised code provides
that outdoor advertisers will erect
billboaids "only where other. .busi-
ness, exists or is permitted" This
means only the roadside areas that
are not zoned against business
But anti-billboard people point out
that IN the vast rural areas that

rare exception. rather than the
rule. 80
If a control measure, in what

there still will be the House to
deal with. But proponents of the
plan believe that If they can only
get their legislation to the floor
Of both houses for open debate,
much of the fight will be won.
At that point, they say, all the
garden clubs, Izaak Walton

Eisenhower Might Welcome Conodo's
Strange Method Of DissoIving Parliament

again until Friday, January 81.
when Mr.. Diefenbaker asked his
ministers how they would react
to an election on March 81. He
never did ask his hack-beneh Con-
sentative MPs. many Of whom are
still In debt from last June's cleo
ton and abhor the thought of
another one now.
The cabinet ministers kicked
the March 81 date around, argu-
ing pros and cons. But when the
meeting broke up they didn't know
for sure what the prime minister's
decision would be. Mr.. Diefen-
baker slept on the matter, then
called the cabinet into his Office
at 10 am. Saturday and gave
his answer; Yes.
At l0:40 the Prime Minister
and his press secretary, James
r. Nelson, new to Quebec, where
the Queens representative in
Canada, Governor General Vim
cent Massey, was visiting.
On arrival they borrowed an
airport station wagon to drive TO
the vice-regal quarters In the Cita-
del, the old British fort which
once guarded the st. Lawrence.
The Prime Minister was imme-
diately ushered into Mr.. Massey's
study where he presented the
Governor-General with an instru-
ment OF advice. a letter recon-
mending that Mr.. Massey dissolve
Parliament as preliminary TO
a general election.
Mr.. Massey. like the Queen, has
no alternative in such situations.

action except on the recommen-
dalton of the Prime Minister.
The crown is merely q symbol.
So Mr.. Massey signed without
question the proclamation of dis
solution which Mr.. Diefenbaker
handed him next.
The Lost Act
BY 4 pm. Mr.. Diefenbaker was
back in Ottawa. The House OF
Commons was embroiled in po-
httcal wrangling.
Mr.. Diefenbaker, whose po-
litical showmanship includes a
touch Of ham. got the floor at 6
pm. and read a prepared state
ment. His position as head Of a
minority Conservative government
was "intolerable." Stability Of
government was impossible" with
his political opponents eager to
defeat the government In the
Commons. Actually this was high
ly questionable. The opposition
parties had been careful not to
defeat the government, believing
that delay improved their election
chances. But there was no uues-
tioning his punch line: ''Parlia-
ment has been dissolved"
BY prearrangement, at sos
pm, Undersecretary of State
Charles Stein stamped the Great
Seal Of Canada on the Governor
Generals proclamation, to give It
legal effect. Thus were nine mil
lion Canadian voters committed
to a difncult winter election cam
paign to replace the Parliament
elected only last June.

OTTAWA.-The Canadian par
liamentary system of government
is a weird and wonderful thing
for an American to behold. Al
most as weird as the United States
system is to a Canadian.
Take what's happening now: Q
national election campaign in mid
winter-solely because one man,
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker,
got fed UP with trying to run the
country while faced by a hostile
Parliament.
II President Eisenhower had the
same power. he could have booted
the Democrat-controlled Congress
into oblivion long ago and asked
the American people to give the
Republicans q majority in both
houses Of Congress.
The Canadian election campaign
leading to voting on March 81 is en-
tirely Mr.. Diefenbaker's decision.
Nobody else's. For months he had
enforced a rule that members of
his cabinet we're not to speculate
on election plans and prospects
IN his presence. When Public
Works Minister Howard Green,
who is Mr. Diefenbaker's chief
lieutenant. made an observation
which was based on the assump-
ton that an election would be held
soon, the Prime Minister turned
on him coldly.

Anti-BiI|boord Bloc Is Stronger
As 1t Enters New Round on Hill

those who considered q billboard
ban to be a violation of States
rights, put their proposal in the
form Of an incentive to States to
decide to keep advertising of the
roadside. The idea. as Senator
Neuberger describes it, fuses the
carrot rather, than the stick
method with the States" by Offer
ing cooperating States bonus
of q of per cent above the 90
per cent Federal share Of the high
way costs. tSenator Kuchel's bill
would make the incentive per
cent?
This Is the Year
Senator Neuberger believes that
If he doesn't succeed this year, his
fight may be lost forever. AL
ready we have lost very valuable
time-months, even years." he
says, adding that some States are
now locating their rights-of.ways
for the new superhighways, 1909
miles of which have been COM
pleted.
Actually. the chances are that
none of the three billboard control
bills will be enacted as separate
legislation. Chairman Chavez Of
the Public Works Committee has
introduced a bill to extend the
authorization, of the omnibus
highway bill, necessary. if the
long-range roads project is to con-
tinue. A provision giving the
States an incentive to control
roadside advertising probably will
be tackled on this bill, either in the
committee or on the floor.
There is one possible dificulty
facing the anti-billboard proposals.
While Senator Kuchel has
switched to the adherents Of con-
troll, one Of the six Senators who
voted for the Neuberger plan last
year has left the committee. DEM

Chinese criminal society known
as "The Triad" The riots, which
lasted three days and in which
millions of dollars worth of Brit
ish property was destroyed or
plundered, were initially anti
Communist. but they soon became
anti-British as we'll.
The refugees hate the British
because they are wealthy. and
powerful and because the British,
in the best colonial tradition, tend
to take a rather condescending
attitude toward the Chinese. It
must be remembered that many
OF Hong Kong's refugees are still
Communists; they have merely
run afoul of Red China's particu-
lar brand Of communism. Hong

makes these refugees more dis
contented and restless.

British for failure to control the
riots, and evidently feeling uneasy
about such strong anti Communist
feeling said pointedly I'VE will not
ignore further disorders on the
doorstep to China"
Thus 1t is clear that another
riot might not only destroy much
Of Hong Kong should it get out
Of hand. but could also prompt
Red China to occupy the city.
In many ways, Hong Kong
seems to be on borrowed time as
far as Red China is concerned.
The Chinese have repeatedly as
serted that Hong Kong lis more a
part Of China than even Formo-
sa." and there is little doubt that
the Chinese could take Hong Kong
in q few days. The city gets most
Of its food and water from China
and is therefore terribly vulner-
able to blockade. Militarily, the
British would have nothing to
match Red China's hordes.
Reasons for Survival
The fact is Hong Kong con-
tinues to survive because it is
more valuable to China as a free
trading post and communications
center than 1t would be if they
controlled it. Also until the riots,
anti Communist refugees seemed
to be under control. And finally
Britain is the only major power
which recognizes China and could
help her get that long-desired
membership in the Tilted Nations.
There have been some ominouS
developments recently. First,
though much of the smuggling
into China is government APP
proved, refugees report the Reds
are disturbed about the huge
amounts of dope entering and be-
ing circulated illegally in China.
Second, though the commissars
may take advantage of it them
selves. they seem unhappy about
having luxurious and prosperous
Hong Kong on their border for
their people to contrast with the
drab poverty of much Of China.
When you add up all the factors.
the future Of Hong Kong is cloudy
which means the Vests position
in Asia is precarious.

Concern Here

To the United States. the Tl-
nissan crisis was Of major Inn
portance. French Ambassador
Herve Alphand was quickly called
to the State Department to ex-
plain why American-made planes
had carried out the Sakiet at
tack. He assured Secretary Of
State Dulles that the planes were
French-owned. not NATO types.
And the usual methods Of dip
lomacy were employed TO let Paris
know that the United States. anx-
ious to preserve what remains Of
Western prestige in the Arab
world. was very much concerned
by the bombing.
Last Tuesday, at q press confer

pinned down on the Tunisian
affair. But he did say that the
normal rules Of hot pursuit
that Is. chasing Of attackers who
take refuge across q neutral from
tier-were not applicable 10 the

Gated that the United States still
