WINNIPEG (OP)-An int.ei'pro- vincial conference of highways ministers agreed Tuesday not to seek exclusive control over extra- provinclal highway transport tra- velling within their own boun- daries.

In a resolution passed at the conference's second day, the prov- inces agreed not to seek an im- mediate constitutional amendment to give individual provinces this control, but decided that the is- sue should be on the agenda of the next interprovincial conference for consideraton after further ex- perience with present legislation.

The conference arose from fed- eral legislation passed last. June which was individual provinces jurlsdicton over inter-provincial and international commercial traf- fic on the highways. but leaves the federal government constitu- tional authority and the right to intervene if it wishes. '

iefiisi leader Bevan Ousied from Executive Of British Labor Party

By Fraser Wighton

SCARBOROUGH. England (Reu- ters)-The British Labor party Tuesday ousted leftist leader An- eurin Bevan from the executive and approved support for the gov- ernment's policy backing West German rearmamcnt.

But. party leader Clement Attica obtained, only a narrow majority of votes for German rcarmumcntl at the party's annual conferencc here.

Attlee and his moderate leader- ship had to heat off a violent at- tack on the plan by the party's rank-and-file led by backers of Bevan and other leftists. .

Victory by the margin of about 250,000 card votes in voting by delegates representing the partys 8,000,000 members did save Atilee from the dilemma of a complete switch on the policy he has been advocating in Parliament for months. But it also made clear that there .is far from unanimous support here for a rearmcd Ger- many.

The official resolution that talks

should be held with other Eu- ropean socialist parties on how best to rs-arm Germany was car-

ried by a vote of 3.270.000 to 8,- 022.000.

BEVAN OIJSTED

The secoiid day of the confer- ence. also saw the departure of Bevan from the party leadership in which he has served since the end of the Second World War.

The strident, 57-year-old Welsh- man met. a. crushing defeat in a contest with Hugh Gaitskell. chan- cellor of the exchequer in Attlee's last cabinet, for the vacant post. of Dirty treasurer. The job carries a seal: on the executive committee, the party's ruling body.
