OTTAWA. April 17 -(CP) - Par'liament's first detailed post- war study of defence spending npcned today.Itwas-dominated by a verbal war over whether it. is go- mg to be restricted to things which happened before Korea transformed the entire Canadian military program.

The battle began after a state- ment by C. M. Drury, deputy de- fence minister. that the machin- ery for spending Canada's defence dollars "suffers perhaps too much in the way of detailed control" but is being decentralized more under a new policy.

when opposition members of the commons public accounts committee tried to get him to bring his statements about de- centralisation up to date. the bat- tle started. it was waged off and on all through the meeting-started 10 minutes late because of lack of n quorum-and ended without de- cision.

Shippers have been discussing their needs in meetings among themselves and last night met. with the Federation executive to bring their problems before that body. It was felt that it was matter involv- ing the farmers of the Province and as such the Federation would be interested. The Federation told the shippers to gather concrete in-

Newfoundland. They suggested this in view of differences in opinion among the shippers as to the dc- sirabiliiy of shipping chilled beef or live cattle.

Mr. Lincoln Dewar. secretary of the Federation. said that the things requested by the shippers - a killing plant. a cold storage hold- ing unit and a refrigerated boat - ivould involve a heavy expenditure

In Cartierville at least 40 homes were reported surrounded by waf- er from the Back River. The road leading to the Back River Bridge was under six inches of water and there was danger of more homes being flooded.

Public Works and Transport Department officials in Ottawa described the sharp rise during the last few days as a "false flood." with high waters scheduled to hit the Ottawa area in a couple of weeks when the northern run- off is released by warming spring temperatures.

The casing off came after an eight-inch rise on the Ottawa and Gatincau Rivers during the night. The Weather Bureau forecastonly light showers.

OTTAWA. April 17-(CP)-Fim ance Minister Abbott said tonight that the Canadian Government may, "if the emergency develops. extend controls even to the point of rationing of basic commodi- ties."

In si speech prepared for de- livcry over a national network in the CBC: "Nation's Busincss" series. Mr. Abbott said that con- trol of personal expenditures ra- ther than rationing is needed at present.

He outlined the main features of the budget brought down n week ago and said that to combat inflation all personal consump- tion and capital investment must be reduced.

"Otherwise in the scramble for scarce foods inflation will result. there will be internal disruptions. and the defence program will suffer." said Mr. Abbott.
