a -VICTORIA DAILY TJAILS, APRIL 1, J7 FIRST CALL with Like French Revolution Some Feast Others Chant INSIDE CITY HALL Are There No Soccer Fans On Council? KEATE 'THREATENED' WITH CBC TOP JOB VANCOUVER Former Times publisher Stuart Krstt may have talked his tviy into a new Job Friday. He Introduced Prime Minister Pearson at a Liberal Pmly banquet as "ths kind of guy you can take Into the locker room." He credited Mr. Pearson with decency, honor and compassion. Mr. Pearson said that listening to Stu Keate "I thought here's the man to go down to Ottawa to take over the CBC.

That's not a promise, but a threat." It sounded like good-natured banter, but Mr. Keate did act as negotiator during CBC labor problems last year with the program This Hmr Has Seven Days. VLB EST, 31 CROSSINGS Gmtinued from Page 1 By JIM HL'MB A year ago, with luitablc fanfare, the city fathers preparing to honor the Victoria Maple Leaf for picking up all the baubles In the Western Hockey League. Although a few people thought It at the time, no one hd the temerity to augsoxt that professional horkey players were rewarded well enough for their efforts with a steady pay-cheque and the promise of future glory In the big time. The Maple Leafs had a pretty powerful lobby going Mayor George Hobson and council members.

string ensemble (that's a combo with their hair oil) playing bravely but inaudibly during the soup course, There were 20 red-coated waiters with sheepish smiles carrying 20 torches as the baked Alaska, decorated with the initials LBP was carried around the ballroom, to the strains of Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. There was an In a corner for the next event a dance demonstration that used five stages five, count them three of them In operation at one time, A movie projector and sound track announced that each Liberal administration has been associated with a dance. The era of Alexander Mackenzie was represented by two rets of square dancers and the dancers came on live. Th era of Laurier was revived with a high kicking troupe of Charleston dancers. The MacKenzie King years were represented by a troupe of jitterbugs and Louis St.

Laurent was associated with the twist. Mr. Pearson's administration was decorated with a covey of go-go girls. Then came the big brass finale as the Kitsilano Boys' Band, about 40 strong, with white-maned organizer Arthur Dclamonte at the point, marched on stage with Tiajuana Brass. The audience stood and cheered.

One wondered if all this was for the party faithful, what wonders lie ahead from the electorate? The prime minister was suitably Impressed hy the B.C. Liberal Party offering. He said he would have liked to have seen Sir John A. MacDonald doing the reel, Sir Robert Borden doing the turkey trot or John Diefenbaker doing the "Campfire Polka." They were too conservative, 1 By FETI It LOl DON VANCOUVER It was a dinner fit for a pr.me minister but at $.15 a plate it was too steep fat the poor peojrte, Fortunately, there were few poor people there. The crowd at the Holel Vancouver banquet Friday was sleek and well-groomed to greet Prime Minister and Mrs.

Lester Pearson. Outside the hotel, marching and rhanting and carrying placards denouncing Canada's alleged support of the U.S. in Vietnam, were the In Jackets, open-necked shirts, a few with beards, some with their dazed chMdren, they marched at all three entrances to the hotel chanting: "Pearson, Martin, LBJ, "How many kids "Did you kill today?" More than 100 were there when the prime minister arrived at 7:30 p.m. The police had to hold them back with some evidence of sharp elbow digging in the process. The sidewalk was blocked.

It was still blocked when the first of the 512 at the bai.quet started to leave at 11.15 p.m. and they were atill chanting. At one point the peace demonstrators carried a huge papier mache head wearing a Pearson bow tie. It was a scene out of the French Revolution. Outside the Inside the crab Kewburg, Essence of Turtle au Cherry, whole roasted Cornish game hen, Parisienne rissolee potatoes, broccoli au beurre, Vienna rolls, baked Alaska and sparkling rose.

Pearkes. He is an ardent soccer fan and has watched his favorite team pretty con.stanlly een last Sunday on a cold, blustery day move through this season with only one loss in regular league play. From the grist mill comes the suggestion that Michael J. Griffin is considering coming out of his premature retirement and running for council in December. It's my bet that he won't.

Not this December. The reasoning behind that fearless forecast? Four council seata will be up for the grabs. If Aid. LHy Wilson, Aid. Geoffrey Edg-low, Aid.

Robert Baird and Aid. Ian Stewart seek reelection (and Indications are that tley will) and Clyde Savage re-enters the lists two of those seat would have to fall. And only one of the present incumbents is vulnerable. Which would mean that Mr. Savage would knock-off Mr.

Griffin or vice-versa. And I don't think either one of those gentlemen would do battle under those conditions. I hope everyone has a pleasant weekend figuring out which of the four is probably spending a last year on council. Look for another merry little clash shortly between the Esquimau Chamber of Commerce and the municipal council. The chamber is lobbying strong for an industrial park in the municipality.

A worthy cause to be sure, though the chamber's approach leaver a little to be desired. Or haven't they 'heard that on developments such as this it is always nice to consult with the municipal authorities for advice and assistance? When co-operation is the key word it's surprising how much can be achieved. When it isn't, it's surprising how stubborn elected officials can be. That couldn't be the aim of the chamber, could it? To back the council into a corner for political advantage? No, no, for as we all know, Chambers of Commerce are strictly, non-politieal. Continued from Page 1 motion urging free trade now.

They did it against the toughest soccer opposition in Canada (indeed, if we want to use glowing terms we can say in North America) and they did it without undue trumpets ing. The Victoria O'Keefes did more than just win a league championship. Their victory last Sunday over UBC earned them the right to represent Canada in the Kennedy Cup finals to be held in May. A quiet check around city hall this week revealed two things. (1) To date there has been no suggestion that the city honor the soccer team.

(2) And, possibly more significant, city officials cannot recall the soccer club ever asking for anything from the city coffers. When the Maple Leafs were honored the suggestion came from council members and city employees who deal with hockey. Are there no soccer fans on council?

The five may be arraigned Monday on charges of conspiracy and attempted breaking and entering, police said. The tunnel, 53 feet long and eight feet underground, led from the basement of a house on Trans Island Avenue in the northwestern Montreal district of Snowdon to a branch of the Montreal City and District Savings Bank on Decarie Boulevard, which is a parallel street. Police closed in on the house Friday, by which time the tunnel had been abandoned and sealed up.

Police, tipped also about an unusually large number of persons seen about the house at 5416 Island, began keeping a constant watch on the premises.

Officials of the bank branch at 5169 Decarie said the vault, which apparently contains strong boxes, was equipped with a modern alarm system that precluded any successful entry by the tunnel-makers.
