Greek King Exiled Flees With Family
ATHENS AP Greece's military regime crushed the last remnants of a counter coup led by King Constantine and began rounding up royalist officers and rightist politicians. The 27-year-old king fled to Rome with his family. Col. George Papadopoulos announced Lt.-Gen. George Zoitakis as regent and said the constitutional monarchy would be preserved. The regime claimed the anti-nationalist conspiracy was crushed. Constantine and Kollias met loyal officers in Rome and possible destination options included France Britain or Denmark. Denmark welcomed the royal family if they chose to settle there.

Canada urged to embrace bilingualism to keep nation intact
Montreal critics warn unity hinges on carrying out the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism. Jean-Louis Gagnon argues Ontario and New Brunswick should be officially bilingual and that bilingual districts in other provinces would protect culture and aid cooperation. He notes the $7 million report cost as four 10 cent chocolates per person and says delay beyond 1965 was prudent.

Burnside Farm MPC Rejects Monarch Plans West of Trans-Canada
The Municipal Planning Commission voted to oppose Monarch Investments Ltd on registering ten residential lots at Burnside Farm west of the Trans-Canada Highway. The plan conflicts with the city’s preliminary general development plan centering new construction in Norwood Crestwood. Regional Planner Roy Ralston warned approval would require a full general plan revision. He noted Burnside Farm could host around 500 developable acres, with infrastructure and access challenges likely raising costs and requiring a secondary access road and grade separation with the highway. The Monarch proposal will be reviewed again by the Regional Planning Commission at its next meeting.

Medicine Hat MP Olson unavailable for comment on Pearson resignation
Medicine Hat MP H A Bud Olson on route via Regina could not be reached for comment about Pearson's resignation. He is due in Medicine Hat Friday night. Mr Pound named Mr Turner as a potential representative for French Canadian interests but offered no endorsement. Bill Brown of the Liberal Party in Medicine Hat said an alternating leadership tradition between French Canadian and English Canadian leaders is not binding and noted several strong candidates while calling endorsements premature. Brown praised Jean Marchand's performance but noted he has been in government only two years.
