He said the national organization would be prepared to pump more time and money into any state where the local organization could make a case" that an intensified effort would be successful. Hart also said McGovern was looking for innovative campaign tecnniques to replace the "staged and programmed" raj; ly. ''We want to put the candidate into as close a proximity to as great a number of people as possible," he said. Hart invited McGovern back ers to suggest Ways to change tne pace ot tno campaign, and he said the ideas would be tried to the degree where they, make sense and are not overly bi zarre." I I From page Later Health and Welfare Minister John Munro also sent a telegram to the same three of ficials of the three organizations. His telegram read: "The great interest of Canadians in having Canada repre sented by its most outstanding hockey players, including Bobby Hull being represented on Team Canada in its series with the USSR is well known to you." "I thus am requesting Hockey Canada to bring together the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association with a view to doing everything possible to be sure that the interests of Canada are paramount." It was assumed here that be fore Mr-.

Trudeau or Mr. Munro' had sent their appeals they would have been in touch with Mr. Campbell and ensured that they would get the proper positive response. However, sources close to the cabinet, Insisted no such prior communication had taken place. Douglas Fisher, chairman of the executive committee of Hockey Canada, had warned Mr.

Trudeau and Mr. Miuiro Thursday that any attempt, by the cabinet to "pressure" the NHL might endanger- the whole; ieries. However Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Munro have gone ahead with the "pressure" tactic of making the "appeal" and mak ing it public.

Mr. Trudead emerged from the afternoon session of the cabinet to answer reporters' ques tions when it was disclosed that he bad sent the appeal. One reporter said. "You've changed your 'hands off rzzz. "There's hcr-'hands on' approach," said Mr.

Trudeau. ji Later he said: "We're not or-l dering anyone to do anything. We're just speaking on behalf of Canadians who have made then-wishes known. I hope the people involved will be big enough to respond." He added that he had no way of forcing the National Hockey STARTS COURSE TORONTO (CP) A 'veteran radio man' is initiating a post-secondary course devoted to teaching radio at Toronto's Humber College.

Let Bobby Hull play League to alter its position. The PM's telegram was sent about 2.30 p.m. and when. Mr. Trudeau talked to the press he said he had received no reply and did not anticipate one im mediately.

-In Montreal, spokesman for NHL president, Clarence Campbell said Campbell would make no comment "until he has had a chance to discuss the prime minister's telegram with his principals." Asked if he had watched Bob by Hull play hockey the prime minister replied, "Oh yes he is a great player." "I think it's important that Canada play in this series with Russia and that we play with the best players," he said. "We can't order the NHL to do anything we can just express the suggestion that they keep the best interests of Ca nada in mind," Mr. Trudeau added. Thursday, Mr. Trudeau told newsmen that his government would not take the initiative in trying to persuade owners of the NHL teams to let superstar Hull play on the Canadian team.

Mr. TmHpail nnr1 Hpalth nnH Wpl. fare Minister John stressed Thursday on the advice of Mr. Fisher that they did not want risk collapse of the Canada-Soviet Union series over one player, even if it was Hull. However the of tests from the public and sports writers apparently persuaded eminent that they should make a direct appeal.

The roadblock to Hull participation is an agreement between Hockey-Canada, the government-backed organization and NHL, which says only NHL players are to be used on the Canadian team.
