Gordon Dowding, counsel for Miss Rcbrin, said Tuesday he had applied to immigration officials here for extension of the bond which would free Miss Reb-rin until her appeal could be heard.
Philip Bird, Vancouver im-migration officer, said the request would be sent to department authorities in Ottawa for consideration.
Miss Rebrin, a UBC lecturer, last week lost an attempt to quash an immigration department order that she be deported as a stateless person.

Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Dowding said he could find no legal authority to seek bail from an appeal court in a case of this nature.

Could be a politicians' hey-day
Gaglardi   over   classifying   the street as a secondary highway.
Mr. Gaglardi had previously turned down a city request that the street be considered a secondary highway but left the door open  for  fiirt-her  negotiations.
Mayor Dczcll had hoped to meet with the Highways Minister on his return from the International Mayors' Conference in Chicago Monday. However, lack of time and cost estimates made the meeting impractical.
Mayor Dezell  said  today  he hopes to arrange a meeting with Mr. Gaglardi as soon as the estimates arc available. PROVINCE TO PAY
Province would pay half the paving costs and 40 per cent of the yearly upkeep if Fifteenth is classified as a secondary highway.
However, Mayor Dezell said, the city may ''go it alone" on paving Fifteenth if it has to. "We want lo gel as much paving done this year as possible." he said.
The Mayor said the city also hoped to pave Laurier Crescent this year. "If we don't pave it we'll try to fix it up," he said.
Mayor Dezell also said the city was "considering" paving Tenth. However, he said, this would depend on how his talks with Mr. Gaglardi go.
"If we have to pave Fifteenth on our own," he remarked, "we may only be able to oil Tenth this year. But if the province helps with Fifteenth, there is a good possibility that Tenth can be paved." PAVING PROJECTS
Definite paving projects scheduled for this year, Mayor Dezell said, are Queensway (from Twentieth to Fifteenth), Quebec and Dominion (from Second to First) and the Carney-Fifth route in which the province will share costs.
Mayor Dezell said he hopes to get the province' to work on First, which is classified as a main highway.
"The province agreed six years ago lo move First over 40 feet to give trucks more room at the warehouses." he explained.
"They probably think I've forgotten about it," he said, "but 1 haven't."
First was resurfaced six years ago, during Mayor Dezell's last term of office, and the province assumed all responsibility for relocating it, he said.

Mr. Jones said the work'is expected to begin at the foot of Carney hill on First and cohtinuc along Carney to Fifth.
Paving of Fifth, from Carney to Central, will follow.
Mr. Jones issued a plea for "sanity" on the part of Prince George motorists while the paving is in progress.

Mr. Jones said Carney from First to Fifth will be closed to traffic while being paved.

To Head in Senate Today
OTTAWA (CO � An effort to widen the grounds for parliamentary divorce that may have
rciioroiission   in   tlio   Comint cornea to a licud liv the Senate today.
While two GCP MPs maintain their blockade against passage of divorce bills in the Commons, the upper chamber will debate the action of its divorce committee on a petition by a Quebec resident for a divorce alleging desertion rather than the currently recognized ground of adultery.
One aspect or IIil1 Commons filibuster by Frank Howard (CCF-Skeena) and Arnold 1'ot-c v s (CCP - Temlskaming) h ;i s been their contention that adultery hasn't actually been proven or thai evidence of adultery has boon rigged in many of I ho divorce bills sent, by the Senate to the Commons for final approval.
UNWANTED IOI5
Both have stated they would rather Parliament lie relieved of responsibility for granting divorce for residents of Quebec and Newfoundland, which have no courts lo handle such cases, and that they believe desertion is a legitimate ground for divorce.
In the Senate Tuesday night, Senator Arthur Roebuck (L.� Ontario) declared thai he disagrees with the action of the upper chamber's divorce committee, of which he is chairman, regarding the case of the Quo-b e c e r s e e k i n .^ divorce on grounds of desertion.
He said he will have more to say about this today, when the committee's report comes up for adoption.
His summary of the commit: tee's recommendations as being against ix r a n t i n ;i divorce brought him into conflict with enator Gunnar Thorvaldson (PC-Manitoba) who said the committee voted 12 to "> not to consider the petition fir divorce.
Senator Thorvaldson said the �ommittee reached no declson on whether to grant divorce. It
merely decided no grounds existed under its rule of recognizing' only adultery1.
\VO|T|,I>  WIUKN  �!EOirNl>S
When the committee's report comes up loday, Senator David ("'roll (Ij.-bntario) may be in the forefront of opponents a\' its adoption. Me is known to have planned to introduce a bill at this session to widen the grounds for granting divorce to Include desertion among other things.
An expression of support by the Senate for widening the grounds to include! desertion would itdd to the pressure on the two CCF MPs to lift their blockage, especially in view of their stated belief that desertion would have been s u fj"I cle n t ground for granting divorce In many of the cases where adultery was alleged.
No divorce bills were passed by the Commons in the allotted hour Tuesday, leaving 309 piled up on the order paper. In pasl sessions, divorce bills have been passed en bloc in a matter of minutes.
$2,000,000 Loan For Construction
PARIS (AP) � Nikita Khrushchev fired a new blast at President Eisenhower today after final frantic efforts by the West failed to pull the Soviet premier back to the summit conference table.
Khrushchev challenged President Eisenhower's assurance that U.S. spy plane flights over Soviet territory will not be resumed, saying the pledge applies only lo Eisenhower's remaining months in office.
He said also that if the United States resumes nuclear tests. Russia will also resume testing.
After a long, hectic day of manoeuvres, in which Macmillan and de Gaulle took the lead in trying to get Khrushchev to drop his demands on Eisenhower and get down to negotiations on disarmament, Khrushchev had not given an inch.
He said he'd leave for Berlin Thursday.
The Soviet Premier would not negotiate, but paid a courtesy call on President de Gaulle.
Eisenhower, de Gaulle and Prime Minister Macmillan scheduled a late-afternoon Western conference.
Indications this morning were that Eisenhower and Macmillan would leave Paris Thursday. Eisenhower is due to go home by way of Portugal, where he will visit Lisbon for two days.
The Western big three were careful not to express any re-

sentment in their joint statement on the collapse of the talks.
The Western leaders left li>^ door open to resumption of talks.
A parallel Russian statement pointed the finger of blame at the U.S.
It also declared readiness to negotiate, but restated Khrushchev's condition that "the United States remove the obstacle which hampers the beginning of the conference" � meaning Eisenhower's refusal lo apologize for U.S. spy flights and to punish those responsible for the flights.
BERLIN (AP)�Nikita Khrushchev, when he stops off in East Berlin Thursday en route home from the shattered summit parley, may call for a German peace conference as a prelude to a Communist peace treaty with East Germany.
Observers believe Khrushchev, after conferring witli Communist party chief Walter Ulbricht and Premier Otto Grotcwohl, will reiterate his old line that the Al-
lied occupation of West Berlin must end.
But they think it likely that he also will sound the call for all countries which fougnt Nazi Germany to meet on a certain dale to work out a peace treaty for both West and Easl Germany.
The Western Allies would certainly reject this, and Khrushchev then could hold an all-Com-munisl conference to sign a treaty with East Germany alone.
UN Session Predicted
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AD �Diplomatic sources expect both the U.S. and the Soviet Union to seek emergency sessions of the Security Council.
Some diplomats said the couv-cil might be called into session by the end of the week
Eisenhower had said in Paris
he would seek UN action if the summit meeting failed to lake steps on his plan for U.N. aerial inspection.
The Soviet Union was reported ready lo bring in charges of aggression against the United States in connection with the spy plane incident.
Bolster U.S. Defences
VICTORIA CP) � The government has approved a $2,000,000 short-term construction loan for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway.
An order-in-council passed Tuesday does not specify a project for which the loan may be used but the notes will mature before March 31, 1960.
The government-owned railway has a $140,000,000 borrowing power of which $111,000,000 has been expended. Its borrowing powers were increased at the last session of the legislature.
The loan will be guaranteed jy the government and will have an interest rate of not more than ix per cent.
WASHINGTON (AP)�A call to put American defences on the alert underlined reaction here loday to the collapse of the summit conference.
Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia, chairman of the Senate armed services committee, cautioned that Premier Khrushchev's "erratic actions might precipitate the horror of a nuclear war."
Others, without minimizing the potential seriousness of the situation, spoke not of war bill of a calm reappraisal.
"It is not the end of the world," commented Democratic Senator Hubert II. Humphrey. "There must be a cooling-off period . . . a fresh start toward casing of international tensions."
Senator Russell, saying the cold war has 'been intensified and a hot war is possible, added in a statement:
"This country should make every effort to get its defence established in order and on the alert in order to repel and annihilate any aggressor."
OTTAWA im � Initial reaction of Canadian political leaders lo the collapse of the summit conference was a call for cool heads in a tense world situation.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was blamed for torpedoing the Paris talks, but Commons opposition spokesmen Tuesday night pointed a finger of blame at the United Stales as well for giving him an opportunity to load the torpedo tube.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker said the Paris impasse was due
lo the "intransigence" of the Soviet leader and not because of the stand taken by the Western Big Three.
"This is a time for moderation and good sense," he said.
Liberal Leader Lester B. Pearson said Khrushchev capitalized on the shooting down of the U-2 spy plane � "as it should have been obvious that he would."
"But his inadmissible, indeed his crude, demand for punishment and apology was Soviet power and pressure politics at its worst."
FILM SAID AIMED AT UKRANIAN-JEW FIGHT
200 Protest TV Series at CBC Studio
MONTREAL tCPi � About 200 persons massed outside CBC's downtown studios Tuesday night to protest showing of a television .scries dealing with the assassination of Ukrainian hero Simon Pctlura.
The marchers carried placards reading "Slop the lies in favor of international communism" and �enough of the incompetent officials in the CBC."
A spokesman said it is fell the film is inaccurate in its presentation of the facts surrounding the 1927 assassination of Pctlura and the trial of the Jewish assassin,
Sehwarl/bard.
"The film is aimed at pitting Ukranians against Jews," he said.
Last Sunday sonic 800 persons paraded to the CBC building to protest l!he showing of an episode of the series. CBC officials studied objections and announced the series would not be withdrawn.
They said the CBC had no intention of insulting Canadians of Ukrainian descent but denied the accusations made by the protesters.
Protests reached the Senate
floor Tuesday when Senator William Wall, son of Ukrainian parents, said he was upscl by the -very evident bias" of the show.
The Manitoba Liberal said he hopes the CBC has learned from the wave of protests thai resulted from the television show that it should "check most carefully in the future into the content of all its programs to prevent the recurrence" of such incidents.
Senator Wall, said Ukrainians feel the show distorts historical facts because all proceedings of the  trial  of Petlura's assassin
were not fiivei equal Ircalmcnt.
The result, he said, is thai Pet-lura, president of the Ukrainian repulbic in exile, and his government and armies "are made lo appear, directly or indirectly, responsible for the unfortunate anti-Scmelic pogroms which look place in the Ukraine and Byelorussia during those tragic years of 1919 and 1929 ..."
Ukrainians felt the program was "painfully distressing, offensive and repugnant." It was an "unfortunate affront" to Cana-odian citizens of Ukrainian parentage.
