[" * , yro# Flag debate postponement may halt election OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Parliament meets today to learn whether the party leaders were able to take the heat off the latest political crisis stirred by prospects | of a new flag collision.While the possibility of an early election remained unchanged during the weekend, the probability of such an event faded late in the week.On both sides of the Commons there seemed to be a general feeling that debate on the flag committee's recommenda j lions will be postponed.In place of it, MPs expected that the Commons would now ] turn to a number of vital legislative matters\u2014the Canada pension plan, redi>tribution, transportation legislation, the proposed constitutional amending formula and the new labor code.This prospect promised an end to the current debate on the government's request for interim spending authority to pay] November and December bills.The money is needed by about j Nov.10.But some of the Con-sen atives, including Opposition Leader Dietenbaker, showed no sign of agreeing to it until it became clear whether the flag design they opposed so strongly will not be pushed through the Commons quickly.It was widely predicted, especially among Consers atives, that the opposition was prepared to deny the government interim supply\u2014and thus force an election\u2014if the flag recommendation was pressed ahead of the legislative program.There was a lingering danger that someone in one of the smaller parties might rock the boat by attempting to move that the flag recommendations be debated soon.Ammunition was being prepared to fight such a move on the basis that it is not a legai procedure.The anticipated solution\u2014postponement of the flag debate in favor of wotl: on the legislative program \u2014 might, remove the threat of an immediate election.NO SMOOTH COURSE But neither government sup- WEATHER Sunny with cloudy period* today;
