Flag Debate Takes New Course Today OTTAWA (CP)-The lengthy- flag debate, not mr.ed for its variety in the first 12 days, will have a slightly altered routine when it resumes today. The oft-repeated Conservative charges that Prime Minister Pearson's Liberal government is trying to ram the three-leaf flag down the throat of Parliament under the threat of an election no longer applies.

Tlie prime minister announced Friday that votes on the flag would be free of party discipline and the government wouldn't siand or fall on the result. Another new twist scheduled for today involves the first speech by a Liberal Red Ensign supporter. Ralph Cowan (L--York Humber), a strong advocate for retention of the ensign, is due to enter the debate as it goes into its 13th day. Until now, all Liberal speakers have stoutly supported the government's proposed new flag design, and the Conservatives, almost to a man, have established themselves as firm ensign supporters. Theogene Ricard 'PC St.

Hyacinthc-Bagot). the only Con- servative member from Quebec to enter the debate so far. favored a distinctive Canadian flag, but he flayed the government for the way the proposed design was brought before Parliament. Meanwhile, there is no end in sight for the flag debate. While some Liberal members have expressed the view that the free vote will speed the discussion to a conclusion, Opposition Leader Diefenbaker says the change comes too late to alter things.

Since the starlcd, he told lh Commons Friday, there has been a freezing of attitudes that a free vote cannot change. Several Conservative back- say Friday's announcement will not result in "any weakening of the party'i position. As the debate resumes today, it will' continue around a sub- amendment proposed by Ken More (PC--Regina City) that calls for a plebiscite with four Questions. Earlier Mr. Diefen- Kakcr proposed an amendment that called simply for a plebiscite..
