His off the cuff remarks in French have improved con stantly throughout the Campaign and sunday he had the crowds chuckling As he insisted he was a perfectly bilingual Cana they laughed and even cheered when he said he had to speak French with an English accent so the newsmen travel Ling with him could understand. His Best reception came in the twin communities of Iberville and St. Jean where instant All girl brass bands seemed to materialize on every Corner. In the town Square in Iberville he was treated to a flaming Baton twirling routine by a Young majorette whom he cheer fully congratulated with a kiss. One snafu after another continued the blame for the. Astounding string of blunders would appear to rest largely on the shoulders of the sex organizers and chief blow. But they weren t the Only ones to foul up the prime minister s pre arranged visit with ukrainian Cardinal Joseph Slipyi was carried off like a scene from a Grade b comedy. Heralding the goofs that were to follow later in the Day m r Trudeau was rushed to the hotel fort Garry after attending a private mass at St. Paul s College Chapel to keep his appointment with the car Dinal. His staff took him to the hotel room where the meet ing was to take place but the local members of the ukrainian Community who were escorting Cardinal Slipyi never showed up. They forgot the prime min ister s room number so in Stead the Cardinal was hustled Oft to a luncheon in the Marlborough hotel. A frantic series of phone Calls and hurried meetings saved the Day however for or. Trudeau and the card Inal finally managed to meet for 20 minutes in one of the Airport s hospitality rooms. Following the Brief audience or. Trudeau and the Cardinal startled the few people., in the Airport by s-1 r i d i n g t through the deserted corridors to a waiting limousine. But the sex affair earned the highest Marks for Bung Ling. Although the promoters had been handed a Golden Opportunity to reap untold dividends in National publicity because of or. Tru Deau they obstinately re fused to provide the local and National press corps with any Means of seeing the prime minister. The organizers who have been under criticism from local conservatives for allowing the prime minister to open the exhibition during an election Campaign dodged every request to include the Normal press car in the Parade. Exhibition vice presidents w. B. Landes and Keith Routley claimed the responsibility rested with the Parade marshal Howard Larke. But or. Larke said it was up to chief blow who in turn said it was up to or. Larke.

The Parade went Well however in spite of re Marks from some disgruntled watchers that the photographers were Block ing their View of the prime minister. But it was not until the cavalcade reached the stadium that chief blow demonstrated his most zealous attention to his duties. He refused to allow the National press to accompany the prime minister from the stadium to Airport even though the corps was travel Ling on or. Trudeau s chartered dc-9. The chief was overruled by mayor Steve Juba however when an aide to the prime minister let it be known that he would t leave the stadium grounds until the newsmen were included in his cavalcade.

There was a handful of separatists at his Montreal hoche Laga meeting Early Friday evening and another at Joliette an hour later. But their occasional shouts fell far Short of Matching the efforts of the anti Vietnam War we meters in Toronto who called Lim a the chants and shouts of the same subject that he encountered in Vancou ver s Chinatown Tii even the potty heckling he ran into in Victoria s Beacon Hill Park.

But to n i g h to s Saint Jean Baptiste Parade in Montreal will 3 a different sort of occasion. The average participant in separatist demonstrations has shown by past behaviour that he prefers being in an overwhelming majority. One of the High Points was storming thousands Strong through the English speaking Section of the Montreal suburb of Pierrefonds shouting warnings that next time pier refunds will be reduced to fire and at Liberal party rallies in Quebec owes a party organizers tile separatists have been tiny minorities. A Clear demonstration by or. Separatists warn Trudeau continued when the attendance lot to the efforts of Trudeau that the crowd is on his Side has usually been enough to tame them. But the Saint Jean Baptiste Parade is a focus for nationalist sentiment. One of the floats this evening will show Charles de Gaulle on the Montreal City Hall Balcony from which he shouted Vive be Quebec and the Saint Jean Baptiste society announced in a news paper advertisement saturday that a new Quebec March will be played in the Parade. The society says it May one Day be the official Anthem of the state of the words of the March in translation go like this under the same Banner Quebe cers of today let us March in the Light at last for us the Sun is shining. Let our chains be smashed let us forge our destiny without weakness and without hatred without weakness and without hatred Dawn is Here morning has on the Day after de Gaulle s famous shout had set off what sounded like mass ecstasy among the thousands at Mon Treal City Hall Pierre Bourgault of the Kin talked to this reporter about the techniques of dominating a crowd. He said that people could make sound unania they were in Small Mous if deployed through the crowd essential condition properly clusters and if one were met sympathetic or at least Neutral and tending to lean toward once the demonstrators got going Many uncommitted spectators would be drawn in through crowd psychology. Tonight or. Bourgault who is trying desperately to keep his More Radical followers from slipping away one by one to Rene Levesque s movement he wants the merger to come about at the top through him and not in spite of him will have his Best Hope yet of finding the sympathetic or sympathetically Neutral crowd he needs.

That is More than enough to dominate the largest crowd that could possibly gather in the area of the reviewing stand if the Bourgault techniques work. The hostility of separatists toward or. Trudeau has Little to do with the Liberal party As such. Long before he became party Leader or even a member of the party and of parliament he was regarded Here As the archetype of the federalist and regularly attacked As a trait hostility to him has mounted with his own rapid Rise in Federal politics which had badly undermined the separatist belief that French canadians in Ottawa can never be More than errand boys for the Anglo Saxon saudi Arabia plans to build a broadcasting station to carry the voice of saudi Arabia All Over the the the crowd must be basically i government announced. Gaullist Triumph shapes up continued and in comparison with the vote in the first round of 1967 general election the communists percentage of the total vote dropped to 20.03 per cent from 22.51 per cent the non corny unit leftist federation slipped to 16.50 from 18.96 and the centrist party of modern. Progress and democracy declined to 10.64 from 12.34. The percentage for the Gaul lists and their allies the inde pendent republicans went up to 43.65 from 37.73 per cent in 1967. They also took 10 seats from other parties without losing any they held in the last Assembly. Returns were coming in slowly from the 17 overseas electoral districts. Foreign min ister Michel Debre was re elected in reunion Island. Two Gaul lists and an opposition Man were re elected in the carib bean. Along with Debre Pompidou and 18 other ministers were re elected others were forced into the Runoff. Communist party Secretary general Waldeck Rochet was the Only opposition Leader elected on the first ballot. To win in the first round a candidate not Only must have a majority of the votes cast he also must have 25 per cent of the registered vote in his District. To go into the second round the candidate must have re-1 Cei Ved 10 per cent of the registered vote. The standings at dissolution were democratic Union for the fifth Republic gaullist 199 Independent republicans Gaul list supporters 43 communists 73 federation of the left 118 unified socialists 4 democratic Centre sometimes called centrists 42 Independent 8 total 487. The gaullist had a one seat majority of 244 seats after the elections last March. The total declined to 240 seats through resignations and special elections in succeeding months and were dependent on votes of allies among the centrists and non affiliated deputies to stay in Power. Despite the gaullist initial Triumph at the polls most of the problems that set off France s mad month of May remain unsolved and the wholesale wage raises handed out to get striking workers Back to their jobs will almost certainly bring widespread inflation.
