You run Call the i acc i Russ Jour questions lust dial Tho idlers Call the free press an a a i me nation Lougheed faces fights with Ottawa opposition Edmonton up Premier Peter Lougheed shifting into High gear for a struggle with Ottawa Over resource control will Likely touch on constitutional questions accompanying the resource Issue when Al Berta s legislature begins its fall sitting wednesday. For the province s progressive conservative government with an elec Tion expected this fall or next Spring the Issue offers promising Campaign material. Lougheed also plans a special debate on the subject during the sitting. But to the social credit and new democratic party opposition the special emphasis on resource management and the Constitution might prove to be election issues neither party wants nor will accept. Spokesmen for both Par ties say they would be hard pressed to disagree with Lougheed in his concerns for provincial resource sovereignty other than to reject the outspoken Man Ner which the Premier voices his disputes to the Federal government. An aide to social credit Leader Bob Clark said if the special constitutional de with emphasis on provincial resource control is proclaimed by the conservatives to be the major Issue in an election his party will reject the position. And nip Leader Grant Notley says although re source control is an Essen tial question it should be an external matter of continuing Federal provincial negotiations not the subject of an election. Lougheed asked the Al Berta legislature two years ago for support in his Soli tary stand among the prov inces for provincial veto Power of any constitutional amending formula. This would guarantee a say in National decisions that would affect an individual province. At that time Lougheed had returned with his Posi Tion from one of a string of premiers conferences on the Issue. This year a re cent supreme court of can Ada decision rejecting Saskatchewan s Potash pro rationing legislation forms the backdrop for the conservative Premier s re Marks. The supreme court Deci Sion which ruled that legis lation introduced by the Saskatchewan Liberal government under former pre Mier Ross Thatcher in 1969 was unconstitutional could pose a threat to Alberta s Gas and Oil regulation legis lation Notley says. Though Lougheed has not yet publicly reacted to the decision it might be referred to in his state of the province speech wednes Day. The implications of the supreme court decision Are that Alberta s entire legislative framework for Oil and Gas conservation could be thrown Notley said. The legislation provides the Alberta Petroleum marketing commission with governmental author Ity to regulate Sale of Gas and Oil by Alberta producers. Notley emphasized that his party would not accept the question As an area on which to base election issues. Instead he said an election should be centred around questions of eco nomic Benefit from re source development. The nip Leader says his party does not espouse takeover of existing private interests in the resource Industry.
