Some 500 representatives from ridings east of Trois-Rivieres attended the meeting, the first by the party to prepare for the next election expected in 1957. The suggestion for amalgamation with other opposition parties came from Raymond Maher, Conservative candidate who opposed Prime Minister St. Laurent in Quebec East in the last federal election.

He urged the party follow the example of Premier Duplessis, who absorbed smaller parties to form his Union Nationale government in Quebec. Maher withdrew the recommendation, however, after being told it was against party policy as out, lined recently by leader George Drew. Drew, speaking at an evening banquet, said "the next election may be the last chance to save our "Step by step, in the last 10 years, the Canadian government has moved farther and farther toward complete centralization," Mr. Drew said. "If this trend continues, we will have unitary government in Canada." BOND MARKET MONTREAL (CP) Firmer convertible issues were the main feature in quiet trading on Montbond market today.

Journal Want Ads (lightning operation cost the army three killed and the Hoa Hao 10. Thousands of government troops swarmed across the broad Bassac in sampans, under the protection of Vietnamese naval units which only a few hours earlier had taken over from French naval forces at Can Tho. By noon the troops had cleared the highway leading east from Can Tho to Vin Long.

In mid-afternoon, other army striking forces occupied all the main routes linking Sadec, Long Xuyen, and Lai Vung. These towns all army bases, form an equilateral triangle of about 30 square miles of rice paddies within which Soai's forces appeared trapped. As dusk fell over the rich fiefdom from which Soai has been huge profits in crops and transport taxes for years, the army's light infantry elements fanned into the rice fields. The troops ferreted out retreating Hoa Hao men, many of whom threw down their arms and surrenzered. Soai himself vanished his headquarters with his young wife, Le Thi Gam.

She is a Vietnamese amazon who heads a woman's army of some 500 trousered troops. Only a month ago Diem's forces smashed Binh Xuyen's private army of ex-river pirates in bloody street fighting in Saigon. The Binh Xuyen forces were commanded by Gen. Le Van Vien. the attack on Hoa Hao soldiers, Diem pressed his second major showdown with the feudal rebel forces.

The new offensive is directed by Col. Duong Van Duc, whose crack battalions occupied the Ca Mau region of South Viet Nam after its evacuation in February by the Vietminh. HOPE FOR SUBMISSION Diem still hopes Soai will agree to dissolve his feudal forces and bow to the central authority in Saigon. For this reason the premier has not yet branded him an outlaw. "We are giving him a last chance," a spokesman at the presidential palace said Sunday.

Not all the Hoa Hao leaders oppose Diem. An important group headed by Gen. Nguyen Giac Ngo went over to the premier's side month ago with nearly 8,000 men. There has been a rash of other desertions from Hoa Hao in recent days. Hoa Hao is a dissident Buddhist sect founded 16 years ago.

Its principles are virtue, obedience to parents, justice by administrators, and marital love. Commons Passes CNR Legislation OTTAWA (CP) The Commons railway committee Friday approved a clause in a bill giving the CNR power to operate motor vehicles in conjunction with or as substitutes for its rail service. The committee, which is considering a bill updating the CNR Act. heard objections from the Canadian Trucking Associations and some committee members. The associations contended that such motor vehicle services would be an integral part of the CNR.

interprovincial rail services and would thus be outside provincial jurisdiction. This would be unfair to the CNR's trucking competitors, who are subject to provincial laws, H. E. B. Coyne of Ottawa, counsel for the associations, said.

Transport Minister Marler said the federal government doesn't intend to remove the CNR's trucking services from the jurisdiction of the provinces. Even if such truck lines were in some cases part of an interprovincial service, the federal Motor Vehicles Transportation Act allows the provinces to regulate them. Howard Green VancouverQuadra) said the CNR specifically mention that the Motor Vehicles Transportation Act applies to the CNR, instead of leaving it as a matter of legal opinion. Mr. Marler said that he does not consider it necessary to spell it put.

There might be other acts which would apply to such truck lines, and it would be difficult to mention one and. omit the others. Commenting on another clause of the bill regulating agreements between the CNR and other companies, Mr. Green said that the act should include a provision whereby CNR employees would be assured of "their fair share of jobs" under pooling arrangements. The Canadian National-Canadian Pacific Act of 1933 includes such a clause in connection with CN-CP rail pools, but steamships and pools with other companies were not provided for, he said.

Mr. Green said that a CNR steamship service between Prince Rupert, B.C., and Vancouver was taken over by a CPR ship last year, leaving all the employees of the CNR ship out of work. The committee is continuing hearings on the bill.

Ban Is Lifted On North Highway The ban on the Peace River Highway between Faust and High Prairie will be lifted at noon Monday, according to the provincial highways department. The six-day long ban for heavy trucks was imposed by the department Tuesday after heavy rain in the region turned a stretch of road near Enilda, about seven miles east of High Prairie, impassable and left some spots in bog condition. Previous to the weekend, when some empty trucks were moving from the north to Edmonton over the stretch and a few others were travelling north loaded. About 299 trailer trucks were halted at Faust awaiting the opening of the road." Autos have been allowed through during the ban and some trucks with perishable cargoes aboard were loaded on Northern Alberta Railways flatcars and transported around the stretch.

A fleete of about 30 of the department's trucks also have been busy hauling gravel to dump on the road, which highway engineers describe as a particularly difficult stretch, since it is built in places on muskeg.
