Gov'l To Delay Price-Fixing Legislaiigii .

OTTAWA. Nov. 1 - (CF) -The government has decided to delay tom"p0ru.rily introduction of legis- lation in the Commons against rctaii price-fixing and place the controversial issue before a spec- ial committee of Parliament.

Notice of a resolution to set up the Commons-Senate committee uas given on the Commons order paper today by Justice Minister Garson. This. he told the Com- mons later. will give everyone who oppose: or favors the action a chance to present their views.

The matter was broached by Ill. J. Colclweli, C. C. F.. leader. who wondered whether the res- olution would supersede intima- i.nn in the Speech from the Throne that legislation sgaimt x-male price maintenance will be rnlrofluced during the current session.

Mr. Gal-son replied that it would tumvplement. not supersede 3:. what he had in mind was to have the committee set up and during early stages present it with .1 draft of the government's pro- posed legislation.

it appeared likely that the gov- ernmerrt will take no action until the committee completes its work. This might take weeks.

Decision to set up the commit- irc. it was learned. hollowed ap- p.-al by manufacturers and sull- piiere that action liglidst the practice of fixing minimum prices on retail goods be held up until the subject could be reviewed. Some believe the practice cov- ors 15 per cent of all goods en- it-ring retail trade.

Seeks Mandate For Development

ST. JOHN'S, Nild., Nov. 1 (GP) - Premier Joseph R. small- wood announced today he intends to dissolve Newfoundland's first provincial legislature midway in its first term to seek a new mandate on his government's economic de- velopment program.

Mr. Smallwood did not give a

specific date but it was believed the legislature would be wound up this week-end. The announcement upset predictions of 9. possible election next spring. The government's policy of aid- ing European and mainland North American groups with dollar loans to get new industries under way was given as the reason .for the, election. '

"I feel that the people of New- foundland have not given the gov- ernment a specific mandate to go ahead with this great program of economic development in this part- icular way," Mr. Smallwood told

Rehearing In - Freight Zoning Case Adiourned

OTTAWA. Nov. 1--(Special) - Interested parties in Charlotte- town were advised today by the Board of Transport commission- ers here that the rehearing offhe freight zoning case concerning Prince Edward Island has been postponed from the scheduled date of November 5 some time later this month or December. Reason for the post,onemcnt is that the new board chairman. J. D. Kearney. K.C.. assumes office today. succeeding ex-chairman Mr. Justice M. B. Archibald. Mem- bers of the board feel that neither they nor Mr. Kearney would be desirous of tackling a highly contentlous case until the chair- man has opportunity of familiar- izing himscif with the September 15 judgments and circumstances surrounding them.

On theothcr hand. The Guard- ian was informed that the post- ponement will be for a comparat- ively short period. Through its counsel, the Canadian National Railways secured a deferment of the result of the board's major- ity judgment until November 15. The board is under pressure from the applicants not to make any lengthy extension of this defer- merit which is contrary to their Interests. It is hence understood that the rehearing will proceed at the earliest feasible time.

Interim Rate Increase For Telephone Service Proposed

Interim rates requested by the island Telephone Company at a hearing concluded yesterday be- fore the Public Utility Commis- sion will increase the cost of tlv.-phones in thlsrcity by 60 cents per month if they are allowed.

The Commission held a. brief sitting last night in City Council Chambers when it was decided not to present argument by coun- sef until November 27 when the recording of the proceedings will have been transcribed and read. It is probable that written arg- uments will be presented in the Commission by Messrs. K. M. Martin. A. W. Gaudet and D. L. Mathieaon. '

The proposed increase. to be effective until such time u dial telephones are installed is straight across the board. or the same amount of increase for all types of telephones. The monthly res- idence rate under the new terms would be 33.36 while the business line would be 31.60. Both are 1- party line rates and similar in- creases would take place in 2- party. 4-party and other lines.
