He suggested, however. that if the department wished to have the council give the matter further consideration their best course would be to make formal applica- tion by letter. i

Regarding the matter of applica- tions for membership. the proposed by law was that applications he rlealt with by the investigating committee as in the past and bal- lotted on by the department. This was not ratified by the c o u n c i l which changed the by-low toread. whereby all applications for memroerahip in the department, should come be- fore the council and than may be passed to the investigating com- mittee for their recommendation to the council.

Oanodlol Press If-all Writer OTTAWA (GP)-Ihree measures of basic in: ca involving hous- ing. criminal laws and the coun. try's banking system were written into Canadian statute books this year. ' , In the new;-session ' , Jan 1 the Commons and Senate likely wiliidsal with such diverse matters as changes in employment in. 5'31”! -0 IV In nt ti. municipa lrsnts. an income tax settlement with Quebec, procedural rules in lie Commons and the entry of West Germenytinto the North At- lantic Treaty Organization.

The new session is expected to continue into July and may come close to the modern record of 139. sitting days (set during, the last session-longer than any since the early days of the century. Sitting days in the .1008 session aren't recorded. but Pa liarnent was in session 286 day! without any long adjournmenta: 1 NEW CRIMINAL CODE

Canada's Criminal Code last ses- slon was redrafiod for the first time since. W892. completing an overhaul ihattook five years. The new code w go into effect April 1. A parliamentary committee and two royal commissions. however. still are 'studylng several ques- tions which come under the code: Capital and corporal punishment. lotteries. the legal defence of in- sanity, and criminal sexual psycho- paths. '

The decennial revision of the banking laws brought chartered banks into the field of residential and chattel mortgagee. Housing legislation provided for lower down payments. longer mortgage terms and a system of insured mortgages on which banks could lend.

The session brought other meas- ures which- sparked considerable controversy: A. one-cent-an-ounce boost in postal rates. and increases in parliamentary and cabinet min- islers' pay.

OIL AND GAS LINES

The government's policy of sup- porting an all-Canadian gas pipe- line from Alberta to eastern Can- ada was strengthened with a meas- ure giving the board of transport commissioners jurisdiction over interprovincial and international oil and gas lines.

Another bill. designed to help Canada's lagging textile industry. provided a form of dumping duties to be imposed on imports of goods such as textiles and clothing which show marked seasonal price drops.

in the field of socialP security. Parliament provided for pensions to the totally disabled. based on a means test. to be financed jointly by federal and provincial govern- ments. .

One of the first matters to come before the new session will he ran- ficaiion of the recent Paris agree- ments on West Germany providing for her rearmament and entry into NATO.

UNEMPLOYMENT STUDY

Changes in the unemployment in-' surance system. aimed chiefly at protecting jobless in the winter. have been under government study for-some time. The main change expected is an increase in me minimum period for which unem- gloybd workers qualify for bene-

its.

The government last session postponed legislation to change the basis on which it makes grants to municipalities in lieu of taxes on federal '-property. The measure likely will be introduced next year, and is expected to provide for pay- ments equalling full municipal taxes on federal property where its

towards resolving their income tax dispute may require changes in federal tax laws. Quebec last spring levied its own personal in- come tax of about 15 per cent of federal collections. but was turned down in its iequest that the full amount of the provincial tax be deductible from the federal levy. It is reported that the federal gov- ernment may increase the amount --now five per cent-.-of federal tax payments which may be deducted by those paying provincial income ax. s RULES OF DEBATE The Commons likely will have the additional task of revising its own rules of debate-a question bound to provoke extended argu- ments. A special commlttee Test session reached no anlmlty on a Proposal to cut tire "length -of speeches to 30 from dovznlnutes. A proposed deal between the British Columbia government and the Kaiser aluminum interests in the United States for using the waters of the Columbia river may result in federal legislation block- ins the plan. The federall govern- ment is dissatisfied with terms of the deal. As an alternative. the cabinet may use a 1907 statute covering export of "electricity an fluids to enforce its position. '

Other measures e x p e c t e d to come before the new session in- clude: '

l. A 25-per-cyent judges' salarias, .

See ussa Giving Hint To China

WASHINGTON (Reuters)-Mos cow's offer to release two Ameri- cans held in the Soviet Union might be a hint to Communist China to set free the 11 United States airmen it imprisoned on spy charges. the Washington Post said Monday.

"The Kremlin has shown consul- erable evidence of concern over the belligerent attitude oi the Chi- nese Communist regime . and fears that Red -Chmals defiance of the United States in regard Lo the ll condemned airmen might drag .tl1e Soviet into hostilities against its wishes." it said in a leading article.

The Post says the Soviet attitude was a ”hopeful sign" and a Sim- ilar attiiude on the part of China ”may notably minimise the danger of an explosion that neither side wants."
