leadership

OTTAWA — Con-
servative leader Joe Clark
says he believes Tories
will reject a leadership
review at the party's
national convention next
month, but a Tory MP
says a full leadership
convention. is needed to
unify the party.

“I am satisfied that
when the question arises,
as it constitutionally
must, at the end of
January, there will be a
significant vote against
. reveiw,” Clark = said
Thursday.

However, Alberta MP
John Thomson said the
current state of party

unity was “less than
desirable” and was
unlikely to improve until
party members were able
to choose a leader. ata
convention.

“I think that the issuc
should be. resolved,”
Alberta MP John
Thomson said outside th
House of Commons.

“I think that in the
interest of winning the
mext clectin we should
have the matter out in the
open and go into the next
election united behind
whoever the leader may
be that comes from that
leadership convention,”
Thomson said.

Two years for
draft resister

GARY Eklund, who told
a federal judge he didn't
want to go to jail but
would not register for the
military draft, was
sentenced to two years in
prison for failure to
comply with federal
regulations.

The sentencing came
the same day Mennonite

Kendal Lec Warkentine
became the first resistr
under indictment to plead
guilty.

Warkentine, 21, said
Thursday he felt he had to
plead guilty after a
federal judge in Wichita,
Kan., denied his efforts to
plead no contest to the
charge.
