pressed concern over the evident sympathy for the cause of independence. Some observers said the Estates-General was representative only of nationalist opinion. Jacques-Ivan Morin, president of the forum, said there were some sections of Quebec public opinion which were not adequately represented at the meeting but that organizers had worked hard in an attempt to make the Estates-General representative. Rev. Richard Ares, a Jesuit and one of the Estates-General's organizers, said the viewpoints of labor and persons supporting Quebec's remaining in Confederation were not represented advcftiately.

"It's not representative of the opinions of the population but it's representative of the people who make opinion," countered Antonic Flamand, Union Natio-nale member of the legislative assembly for Rouyn. HONG KONG (Reuters) -The Viet Cong Jiave dismissed as "repugnant" the latest South Vietnamese proposal for peace talks with Hanoi, the North Vietnamese news agency reported Sunday. The Saigon government announced this month that Presi-ent Nguyen Von Thieu would send a letter to North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh early in December proposing a North-South meeting. The Viet Cong radio said "all men of good conscience and judgment will find repugnant Nguyen -Van Thieu's fallacious remarks about peace negotiations towards the start of next December," the proposal by Thieu "oilly repeats the lying peace allegations of his Yankee masters." MONTREAL (CP) The Estates-General of French Canada Sunday concluded a fwr-day meeting by courting Rene Levesque and the former Quebec cabinet minister returned the compliment. Mr.

Levesque, who quit the Liberal party to campaign for Quebec independence, received a prolonged and thunderous standing ovation when he appeared at the meeting. He said later at a news conference: "Let's say I'm not against the resolutions I have seen." He described the privately-organized forum as "an important step in the road to Quebec's becoming an independent Mr. Levesque's proposal for ed with Canada in an economic common market was applauded by several of the more than Canadians at the meeting, held in a militant, pro-independence atmosphere. French-Canadians from outside Quebec and politicians ex KAMSACK (Special) Ron-aid MacBeath of Moncton, N.B., Dominion Royal Canadian Legion president, was named Chief Eaglestone by Chief Albert Cote of the Cote band of Salteaux Indians here Saturday night.

REGULAR CMOCOUif COAKO- MtWOU of the Melfort Tisdale constituency, said if the party young people would put as much effort into the CCF as they were putting into trying to change its name, the party would be much stronger. SEVENTH TIME It was the seventh time Mr. Lloyd had been elected party leader.

He took over from T. C. Douglas, now national leader, in 19lil and was premier until 1964 when the Liberals defeated Despile some nostalgic and sometimes heated debate, the switch in name was fairly painless. A two-thirds majority was needed but it passed easily with only 50 to 75 voting against it. Later, the talk in the convention hotel hallways lacked any rancor or bitterness about the change.

A comment overheard from one elderly delegate seemed to typify reaction from those who were opposed, "I really feel bad about this, fc Sr mftf eras 1 1 i the CCF to end a 20-year reign. but. oh well, I guess it had to Dr. rank Coburn was re- come sooner or late. elected president of the provin 1 he Saskatchewan parlv re-1 FT ELECTRIC SHAVERS HOOVER APPLIANCES KODAK CAMERAS Instamatic 104 1 51 18 Simplest Operation ro-date.

Brockelbank, dean of the Saskatchewan legislature until his retirement last year and a former provincial treasurer, was elected treasurer, a post created at this year's convention. In a financial pep talk, Mr. Brockelbank told the convention that with a federal election in the offing, the federal party's financial position "is Just a little bit desparate." It won't get far without better financing, he said.

He urged provincial constituencies to be more honest in turning over their share of contributions to the provincial party and suggest the 5,000 active supporters should each contribute $20 each a year, for a total of $100,000. Mr. Brockelbank also announced the next convention will be asked to approve increasing fees to $6 a year for single and $12 for family memberships from the present $2.50 and $ti. LAST JMY The last clay of the convention passed what was called an emergency resolution, criticizing Premier Thatcher for his announcement Friday that the government would decide the number of employees to be hired by the University of Saskatchewan and the amount of salaries. The resolution said the party will make public its position that it does not wish to see "the proper and necessary freedom of the university interfered with by the introduction into legis-lature of sub-votes on the university budget." A preamble to the resolution said the degree of political control involved would result in loss of highly qualified staff.

tained the CCF name after the national NDP was formed in 3961, although all other provincial organizations followed the national party's lead. Many felt Mr. Lloyd may have played an important part in passing of the name change by such a large majority. He had remained silent on the issue, at least publicly, and did not enter debate when the question first came before the convention Thursday. At that time a non-debatable motiou to refer the measure to a committee on party organization was passed.

However, committee members declined to take on the issue, stating it was outside the terms of reference. As a result, it had to be debated again Saturday and this time Mr. Lloyd spoke out. He said the national label should be adopted now because it would have to be done sooner or later anyway. "In the next federal election, CCF candidates in Saskatchewan will lie running under the NDP label.

We will lose nothing by making the complete conversion and the time to do it is now," he said. Former CCF agriculture minister, I. C. Nollet, who did not seek re-election, typified those who were inflexible in their opposition. "This name means something to the voter things like medicare and insurance and good government.

Now you tell me we should change all this. We'll gain a lot more votes bv sticking to the CCF. "I am glad I retired when I did. I would not want to run as an NDPer in Saskatchewan," Mr. Nollet stated.

Loss of the university's right of decision on academic matters might result in the loss of private financial support, it stated. UNIVERSITY Dr. Coburn, a professor at the university, said if the announced policies of the Liberal government are carried out "we will no longer have a University of Saskatchewan in the true sense of the word." "Instead we'll have an institution to carry out the brain washing and thought control of the Liberal party," Dr. Coburn stated. Later, in his wind-up address to the convention, Mr.

Lloyd said, "I remind you this is not just a problem of the university community. This is a problem o( the total community. Erosion is slow its start seldom noticed. Left unchecked it destroys foundations and total structures. There has been too much loss of human freedom in Saskatchewan in the last P'i years This further threat must be challenged." There was one embarrassing moment for convention officials Saturday morning during discussion of about 200 resolutions from constituency associations.

A woman delegate from the Wilkie constituency rose to protest that several resolutions marked as having come from that constituency had not been forwarded from there.

Sunday near the wreckage of a Cessna 180 in a farm field six miles northeast of Maple The wreckage of the plane, owned by the Lethbridge Flying Club and piloted by Mr. Shaw, was discovered by Dick Tinchcr of the Lethbridge Flying Club. Word of the discovery was then radioed to the 30 private, Swift Current and Lethbridge flying clubs and RCAF aircraft involved in the air search. It is believed the plane crashed and burned about 5.30 p.m. Friday.

The Cessna became the object of an extensive air search Saturday, which extended from an area south of Swift Current to northwest of Empress, and south and west throughout the Cypress Hills area south of Maple Creek. The search began after Mr. Shaw radioed Swift Current at 6.30 p.m. Friday saying he was five miles east of that city. The plane, in which the two men were returning from a business trip, left Westair Airport at Moose Jaw at 5.30 p.m.

Mr. Migowsky said that since Hit- accident occurred in heavy snow, it is 1he opinion of veteran pilots that Mr. Shaw likely suffered a white-out. White-out is a condition where the sky and the ground appear as one. Mr.

Migowsky said the pilots estimated the aircraft flew into tli ground at a cruising speed of about 150 miles hour. A. E. Blakcney of Regina, deputy party leader, moved an amendment that the entire sit-uatinn should be studied to determine if there are better methods and which one would be the best.
