A new instalment in the almost-daily ration of opinion polls shows an increased Labor lead in 40 crucial constituencies barely held by Conservatives in the last election. At the same time two influential newspapers the popular Daily Mirror and the Liberal Guardian have come down off the editorial fence to urge their readers to return the Labor government Thursday.

Gallop poll findings in the most vulnerable Tory constituencies hit Conservative morale just as Tory war From P-APRcuters Demonstrators in three Canadian cities and cities around the world Saturday showed their opposition to the Viet Nam war. In Canada, marchers gathered on Ottawa's Parliament Hill, at the United States consulate In Toronto and around the Saskatchewan legislature in Re-gina. Also 37 An estimated 2,000 demonstrators cathered in Ottawa from many cities in Quebec and Ontario. They formed a line three deep and six blocks long for a procession past the American embassy and up Parliament Hill. Placards in English and French read: Free elections in Viet Nam and withdraw U.S.

troops now. Similar protests were staged In New York, Peking, Rome, Sydney, Hawaii and Hue, South Viet Nam. In Melbourne today, demonstrators rocked the car of Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt and pounded on its windows as he left one of the row diest election meetings in Mel bourne history. Holt was opening the Liberal party's campaign in the Koo-yang byelection. He had to shout into the microphone to make himself heard as Labor supporters stamped their feet on the floor and chanted, "All the way with LBJ Holt for Viet Nam." Fights broke out as Liberal supporters tried to grab placards and banners from hecklers.

The demonstrations began Friday in a weekend of International Days of Protest organized by the National Co-ordinating Committee to End the War in Viet Nam. The march in Ottawa drew hundreds of adults, and despite an erratic sound system which made it difficult to hear speakers, leaders of the protest called it a success. About 900 members of the group in Ottawa came by train from Toronto. Speakers included Therese Casgrain of Montreal, past president of the Voice of Women, who urged the demonstrators to go on with "their good work," Gerry Gallagher of Toronto, business manager of the Labor ers' International Union, and Edward Paski, representing a group of Carleton University students who staged a counter-demonstration. About 100 persons, most of them members of the United Electrical Workers marched in Toronto.

The union workers were taking time off from a convention and one member said it had. prevented the group from attending the Ottawa march. In New York, thousands of persons paraded down Fifth Ave. to protest U.S. involvement in the war.

Hecklers threw in Kidnapper takes youth MIAMI, Fla. (AP)-A short, stocky, armed man invaded the home of a wealthy contractor and his wife today, kidnapped their 18-year-old son at gunpoint and demanded $25,000 for his return. He set a ransom payment deadline of 6 a.m. Tuesday. The gunman entered the fashionable home of Mr.

and Mrs. Aaron Goldman through an unlocked patio door, awakened the couple and demanded $25,000 in cash, police said. Told they didn't have any money in the house, the bandit tied and gagged the parents and forced their only son, Daniel, to accompany him in the Goldman's car. The Goklmans worked free of their gags and cried for help. Neighbors responded and police and the FBI were called.

rai Keeping LONDON (CP) A Thames River bargeman's mongrel dog is the hero of the soccer world today after nosing out the world's most important soccer trophy, stolen here a week ago. "He'll eat caviar for a week," said David Corbett, owner of the dog, Pickles, who turned up the World Cup Sunday night. Corbett, 26, said he hopes he will receive at least part of the 6.100 ($19,300) reward money offered for the cup's return. Pickles found the solid-gold mmmmmmmmmmm mutism fiiJWHi-ia IT. jirr of the drug treatment to wring the copper out of the system a relatively long period when the patient is suffering from such a wild-growdng cancer.

Of the first eight patients treated with the diet, Demopou-los said, three could not stay with it. The other five died of cerebral hemorrhages he seeds of their cancers apparently broke blood vessels in their brains. However, in all cases, doctors found at autopsy that the cancers showed signs of regressing. In 22 later patients results have been better, but the research program has been under way only 2'a years. While a few cancers have completely regressed, Demopou-los said, most patients showed an arrested disease and had to remain under treatment.

a jr- i i 1 mi ii ii an REGINA, LAST EDITION SINGLE COPY 10c Second firing held up FORT CHURCHILL, Man. (CP)-The firing of a second rocket in an all Canadian space research project was postponed early today because of unfavorable weather conditions. The rocket, a Black Brandt II, was scheduled to be fired from the Churchill research range with a scientific payload designed to probe the mysteries of the aurora borealis and upper atmosphere. The second rocket was to have followed the. one fired early Sunday in conjunction with the first all-Canadian project since the National Re-search Council took over the range from the United States Air Force this year.

An NRC official said 'the firing of the second rocket was postponed "because of overcast and unfavorable winds." Adverse weather conditions had delayed the firing of the first rocket two weeks. LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL Sunday's launching, the first of three scheduled in the current series, has been termed successful by NRC officials. The 2,600 pound Winnipeg-manufactured rocket travelled at 3,600 miles an hour faster than a high velocity bullet. It climbed more than 100 miles before reaching its zenith during the 6'i-minute flight. Scientists participating in the six experiments represent the council, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Alberta, Calgary, and the defence research telecommunications establishment.

W. L. Haney of Ottawa, head of the NRC's space electronics section, said the experiments provide data which may be valuable for future space travel. "We don't know much about the reaction of the sun's radiation to the earth's magnetic field and it is important here because it is visible in the aurora," he said in an interview. Although most of the experiments involved in the Black Brant firing are continuations of previous experiments.

Dr. G. G. Shepherd of the University of Saskatchewan hopes that his group will obtain the first optical analyzation of the light emitted from the aurora. Negro boy wounded LOS ANGELES (AP A Negro boy was shot and wounded by a security guard Sunday night on the campus of Jordan High School the reported festering ground of a one-day riot in the Watts area two weeks ago.

The wounded youth, identified as Robert Lewis Smith, 18. hit in the groin, was in satisfactory condition at a hospital, police said. Gales North LONDON (CP) Gales swept the North Sea again today, preventing the rescue of 29 men stranded aboard the drifting American drilling rig Constellation. A lifeboat reached the rig early today after it had been blown off the British coast to a point only 40 miles from the Dutch coast. But the rig radioed that the men could not be taken off until the wind then blowing 30 miles an hour had died down.

Backing for India assured WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson welcomed India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi today as a good and gracious friend and gave assurances that the United States will back her efforts to solve India's problems. In a White House welcoming ceremony, Mrs. Gandhi said India and the United States "should not take each other for granted or allow relations to drift." "Togther," she said, "we can make the world a better place in which to live." Mrs. Gandhi flew to Washington by helicopter from the restored colonial capital of Williamsburg, where she had spent the night. RECEIVES ROSES The 48-year-old widow who leads the world's most-populous democracy was welcomed at the White House by the President and Mrs.

Johnson. The latter presented Mrs. Gandhi with a sheaf of roses. With the president towering at her side they stood at attention while a 19-gun salute was fired and the Indian and American national anthems were played. Johnson and Mrs.

Gandhi were to confer on questions of peace, friendship with Pakistan, and India's economic and social problems.

Elsewhere on the North Sea today, one ship was on fire, another aground, one capsized and another taking in water. Dutch tugs headed for the Greek freighter Dimi-tros, which radioed that fire had broken out on a voyage to Hamburg, West Germany. SHIP RAN AGROUND The Swedish motor vessel Banares ran aground in the Westerschelde Estuary. Tugs were to try to refloat it later today, and a lifeboat was standing by. The captain of the 184-ton South African vessel Ulla Degn, radioed that water in Uie engine room was rising rapidly.

Preceded by the 10,950 -ton British ore carrier Iron Ore, the Ulla Degn was proceeding under its own power to Ijmuiden, The Netherlands. She was being followed at Vi miles by the lifeboat Prins Hendrik. The 2,168 ton Norwegian freighter Bretagne capsized in Ijmuiden Harbor, where it was towed after springing a leak about 14 miles west of the port. Winds up to 100 m.p.h. left a trail of death and destruction across Britain Sunday.

A falling tree killed a child in Wimbledon, just outside London. A 65-year-old man was swept away by the sea while trying to rescue his dog in Bournemouth. A teen-age couple crossing a railroad line were run down and killed. Apparently the wind kept them from hearing the approaching train. In Sweden, gales and sleet brought chaos to the roads and in some towns there were so many accidents patients had to be taken to hospital in fire engines because there were not enough ambulances.

Six persons have died in traffic accidents since Sunday. In Varberg, Sweden, a motorist was taken to a hospital with shock after the wind blew his car on to a railroad line where it was scoped up and tossed 30 feet into a field by the snow-plow of a passing express train. TODAY'S CHUCKLE An acquaintance Is a fellow we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. (Copyright, Opnwal Features Corn.) along the Red, flood peaks and dates, however, remain unchanged. The still-frozen Red rose to 81 feet from 6.5 feet above average winter ice level at Winnipeg in a 24-hour period ended Sunday while at Emerson, 60 miles south on the international border, the river rose three feet to within 19 feet of the cxpectel crest of 788-790 feet above sea level.

The flood peak Is expected to reach Emerson between April 8 and April 15. The Winnipeg weather office calls for milder temperatures across southern Manitoba today ranging from a low of 15 above a of 40. Although the crest has been revised, no plans are being made to alter flood control leaders are beginning to talk more confidently. Results published by The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph show Labor leading in the marginally held Tory seats by 13 per cent compared with nine per cent a week earlier. SHOW CONFLICT The findings in the vital "marginals" conflict with the results of previous polls covering similar territory.

A survey by national opinion polls published last Thursday showed Labor's lead in 24 marginal constituencies reduced. In the country as a whole, Gallup gives Labor a lead of 8'i per cent over the Conservativesdown from 12 per cent a week earlier but still enough to produce a 120-seat majority for Labor in the 630-seat House of Commons. Conservative Leader Edward Heath, fighting his first election after taking over the party from former prime minister Sir Alec Douglas Home, has announced he will make his main final challenge on i a i 's economy and its entry into the European Common Market. He is a strong advocate pf British membership. Wilson said Sunday night he is not prepared to take Britain into Europe unconditionally "as the Tory leader appears willing to do." Wilson said he wants Britain to join the Common Market, but only under the right terms.

MAKES ATTACK In a blistering personal attack on Wilson at a press conference Sunday night, Heath said the prime minister appeared to be an "exhausted, burnt-out shell." Viet Nam briefly became an election issue during the weekend when Enoch Powell, the Conservative spokesman on defence, declared he would not be surprised if the defence ministry now has plans for sending at least a token British force to Viet Nam. Wilson declared Powell's statement was "just the kind of last-minute scare you've got to watch for in these remaining days of the campaign." At dissolution, the standing was: Labor 314; Conservatives 303; Liberals 10; Speaker one; vacancies two. measures. Diking continues at a steady pace at threatened areas Emerson, Morris and In the Greater Winnipeg area. In the Greater Winnipeg area, a 67-mile primary dike system, built up after the 1950 flood, is being braced to keep flood waters out.

Large areas of Winnipeg were inundated 18 years ago when the river crested at 30.3 feet. The Winnipeg dike ranges from 26.5 feet to 30 feet high and the aim is to raise it to 30 feet all along its course. So far about 36 miles of the system has been raised to the 30-foot level. Mr. Roblin also Issued a word o' caution to residents of Emerson and Morris that they must not assume that evacuation will not be necessary because the dikes have been ra sod.

Demo-poulos, a USC pathologist. By two methods, he has tried to cut down the amount of this vital chemical available to the tumor and it has resulted in shrinking cancers in some 80 per cent of his patients. It requires, however, a stringent diet to eliminate a basic amino acid that is found in the protein of meat, milk, eggs and other foods. In fact, patients often are reduced to eating a powder-like combination of selected materials, and certain fruits and vegetables. In an alternative method, a drug is used to pull copper out of the system, further cutting down on the chemical energy available to the tumor, Demo-poulos told the American Cancer Society's, annual science writer's seminar.

The diet is difficult and unpleasant. It takes two months chemicals in treating certain forms of human cancer, especially leukemia. Known as a form of "alkylating" agent in their anti-tumor action, they act, in effect, to poison the cancer cells. But their use has been limited because they attack normal cells as well, and beyond certain dose levels cannot be safely employed. Under Dr.
