Original Toronto Star caption: Diefenbaker ducks debate. Progressive Conservative leader John Diefenbaker meets the press outside Toronto's Albany Club yesterday. He refused to comment on party president Dalton Camp's call for a fresh look at his leadership. He again ducked the issue when it was brought up at the Toronto Conservative Businessmen's Club dinner by young Toronto Conservative MPP Allen Lawrence. But Mr. Diefenbaker may have had a few quiet words on the topic as he talked (below) with Senator Wallace McCutcheon (left) and club president Bill Whiteacre.
