By GOMER JONES

ABOARD G01’!-l'.IC, (Reuters)- With cheers. tears and shouts of "come back soon," Australians waved farewell to Queen Elin- beth and the Duke of Edinburgh Thursday when the liner Gothic sailed on a 1.900-mile voyage from Frunsntle to the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean.

The royal couple's two-month tour of Australia had ended. and the long homeward voyage had

begun.

one official on the dock said the Queen's eyes were brimming with tears as she said. “This is a sad occasion for us all."

As the liner pulled away. guns boomed a royal salute. Australian Jet fighters screamed overhead, ahlp sirens sounded and hundreds of gully-decked boats hurried be- hind the Gothic to follow her to the open sea.

Queen On Bridge

Four warships steamed into es- cort position.s—and the royal con- voy sailed into the sun. with the Queen on the saluting bridge.

Crowds pressed to the water's echo and sang. "'I'here'll Always Be an England". ‘Waltzing Mat- ilth", "Wish Me Duck", and final- ly “Auld Lang Syne".

The Queen and her husband did not shake hands with anyone dur- ing the farewell. because of the Western Australian polio epidemic.

When the Gothic was at sea the Queen made her farewell broad- cast, telling the Australians. "God be with you until I can visit Aus- trails again."

In re-opening the debate yester- day Premler Mathescn stated than were many in the House who did not agree with the orig- iusl resolution. However. he thought that the House could reach some point where there would be general agreement.

"I hops that there can be a gen- eral agreemen‘ and it is such, so that when the resolution is pass- ed and forwarded to Ottawa there will not be those in the House who disagree with it. If we could be united on the suoject of water transportation we will be listened to with a great deal of consider- ation when ws go before them at Ottawa."

The amendment. which In effect was practically a now resolution

stated that "This House request the Government of Canada. if any change of operation is

restores working privileges to about 05 black-bailed ILA men. The commission's executive di-

rector, Lawrence E‘. Walsh, losl. no time in rejecting such a deal. Said Walsh ln a statement:

"The waterfront commission will give no consideration to the con- ditions so brazenly advanced . The action of the commission will not be affected in the slightest by any threat to strike or to continue a strike. .'I‘he commission will make no compromise with law- lessncss."

The work passes of the ILA men were taken away since the strike began. presumably for violence or other misbehavior.

However. the ILA charged some work permits were lifted for no reason at all. ‘

If the passes are returned ILA executive vice-president Patrick J. Connolly said. the union would be "willing to recommend" to work.

Connolly talked to reporters af- ter an emergency meeting to dis- cuss .1 government order that the‘ ILA end its strike st once. or risk slow death as a labor union.

Mr. R*.'R. Bell. leader of the Opposition, charged that the in- vestigating committee aimed to discredit Prince of Wales College in the eyes of the public. He stated he did not know why there had been an investigation of the College and that he was much concerned about this matter.

Dr. W. J. P. MaoMillan. a. mem- ber of the Education Committee, asked that Mr. Bell be made with- draw his statement about the aims of the committee.

“I take exceptions to those ro- marks that it was the aim of the committee to discredit Prince of Waits College," stated Dr. Mac- Millan. statements are in- correct. They are not true. The aim of this committee is to deal with Prince of Wales College. schools and general educational conditions.

“I think the speaker should make him (Mr. Bell) withdraw those statements."

Mr Bell had also charged that the Minister of Education should not have been chairman of a minmittee investigating his own department and he qucstloned the proceedings used at a number of the privnlc hearings in the Min- lsi.er's oilirc.
