no-confidence

United Press International
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Joe
Clark squeaked by with a two-vote
margin in the third House of Com
mons’ challenge to his 5-month-old
Conservative government.
Former Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau, who proposed Tuesday's
no-confidence motion condemning
Clark’s handling of Canada’s eco
nomy and energy policies, said he
probably will try again to bring down
the minority government.
“We won’t harass the government
on every issue for harassment’s sake
but if there is an important issue we
will take action,” the Liberal Party
leader told reporters after the splin
ter Social Credit party saved the gov
ernment with its five votes.
“We will probably introduce
another non-confidence motion
around budget time,” said Trudeau
of the tactic that could lead to new
elections if the government is defe
ated.
The vote on Trudeau’s motion was
140 to 138, with all 26 New Demo
cratic Party members joining his Li
berals’ 112 member caucus.

MOSCOW — Khrushchev is
here. Stalins’s wife and grandson are
here. Mikoyan rests nearby.
Hundreds of those who have
brought honor to their country are
here in Novodevichy Cemetery,
which after the Kremlin Wall itself,
is the most esteemed place of rest in
the Soviet Union.
On a sunny Saturday, one of the
few between the fading light of sum
mer and the onslaught of the noto
rious Moscow winter, Novodevichy
offers a breath of fresh air that is
mental worlds away from the urban
glumness outside.
The cemetery is next to Novode
vichy Monastery where in 1698 Prin
cess Sofia, half sister of Peter the
Great, barricaded herself during the
final days of the Streltsy uprising she
led.
Few Moscovites may walk
through the groves of trees and see
where their most famous country- ^
men rest. Novodevichy is bordered
by heavy iron gates, watched over by
militzia^city police) wearing frosty,
forbidding expressions.
Entrance in recent years has been
restricted to those who have a rela
tive buried on the grounds, and even
some of those who produce passes
identifying them as legitimate mour
ners are turned away.
For those who have the right or
the persistence to get past the
guards, Novodevichy can be a lesson
in Russian history.
The best known resident of the
burial ground is Nikita Khrushchev,
who ruled the Soviet Union for a
decade before being forced out of
power in 1964. Probably because he
died out of power and out of favor, he
was denied interment in the Krem
lin Wall, resting place of Russia’s
greatest heroes and leaders. Instead,
his body was consigned to the thick
black dirt here. It was not until four
years later that an eight-foot monu
ment of the dictator who shook the
world by pounding his shoe on the
podium of the United Nations was
erected.

A survivor of the Soviet scramble
to the top was Anastas Mikoyan,
once chairman of the Supreme
Soviet and president of the Soviet
Union. He served under four abso
lute rulers — Nikoli Lenin, Josef
Stalin, Khrushchev and Leonid
Brezhnev — before retiring honor
ably, if not entirely voluntarily, in
1965.
He has been here since his death
last year, but Mikoyan still has no
plaque to his memory. His burial
place is identifiable only because a
photograph of him covered in plastic
is propped on two sticks above the
plot where he rests.

Novodevichy also provides a place
of burial for victims of embarrassing
incidents whose passing is best not
put on display.
