The Progressive Conservative Party plans to give the rank- and-file delegate a chance to have his say at the leadership conven- tion next month, when possibly a dozen men will bid for the joh which John Bracken is giving up because of ill health.

"free and uncontrolled con- vention.” It will "not he dictated to from the top."

Mr. Bell declined to speculate on possible candidates for the leadership pcst which 66-year-old Mr. Bracken took over at a 1942 convention in Winnipeg.

However, from another party source it wins learned that Prom- ier Drew of Ontario, eight Pro. gressive Conservative mcirnbers of Parliament and three outsiders likely will be nominated.

Possible Candidates

Mr. Drew and John Diefen- baker. member of the Commons for Lake Centre in Saskatchewan, and Howard Green, member- for Vancouver South, probably will he early nominees. said the source,

Murdoch MacPherson, piwimi... ent Saskatchewan lawyer and one of Mr. Brackens opponents in i942, is expected to be nominated. Dr. Sydney Smith. president of the University of Toronto and a man who would have contested the i942 coilventic-n if Mr. Brack. en iuld not chosen to run, may also allow his natne to go befoie the convention.

"That would be a matter Govemmsnt policy." they said.

(The Government has asked the Supreme Court to rule whether the Federal ban against oleomar- Karine is constitutionally legal. The case will be heard in October or November.)

A Dairy Council delegation met the Cabinet this morning and lnade these recommendations:

Large as the m-owd was. the number might have broken all past opening-day records had it not been for the downpour o! rain between noon and 12.30.

D-S- sumlng it was equally heavy in the city and environs, remained at hofnc.

The downpour at. the Exhibition grounds ivas more of a. benefit than a detriment. It dampened the track. eliminating much work for the sprinkler, and gave just the right resiliency to make pos- slble the fast time in which all the heats were raced.
