This will increase the subsistence allowance for married second lieut- enants by :26 a month, for mar- ried lieutenants 321 and married captains sis.

The increase in subsistence al- lowance will include an increase in ration allowance from 320 to 530 a month. The ration allowance is paid to a married man who is provided with married quarters.

Mr. Claxton said the increases will meet the married man's prob- lem of providing accommodation for himself and his family where he is not provided quarters by the services.

The minister said married quar- ters, some of temporary or emer- gency construction, are being pro- vided for 20,000 men. Additional

Reachingvcrisis in Mariiiines

AMHERST. N. 5.. (CP)-A re- solution protesting "recurrent" freight.-rate increases was un-

animously adopted Friday at a meeting of Maritime shippers sponsored by the Maritime Trans- portation Commission.

Delegates said the freight-rate situation. aggravated recently by fl seven-per-cent. increase, had reached A crisis because the Marl- timcs' economic position was de- teriorating as a result of re- strlcted markets.

L. W. Slmms, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. told the large gathering the movement against higher rates is not sectional "but simply demand- ing fairness in any readjustment of freight rates that needed to be made."

If fairness could not be as- sured. he said, it could be believ- ed that the Maritlmes might de- velop the same feeling of resent-

OTTAWA. (CF)--A bill paving the way for the establishment of national credit unions was given approval in principle Friday by the Commons with all parties approv- ing the principle. '

Only objection in second reading of the measure immediately came from some Progressive Conserva- tive members who argued the bill -received by the members only Friday mornuing-should have had more study before being sent to a committee.

Finance Minister Abbott pressed for immediate second reading be- fore his departure Saturday for a North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion meeting ln Paris.

The legislation will permit of the establishment of credit unions- whlch lend money to their co- operative members- on a nat- ional basls. At". present. they oper- ate wlt.hln provincial boundaries.

ervision of the activities of such unions made up od, groups from more than one province, such as is given in loan companies legisla- tion and other federal measures.

R. R. Knight (CCF-Saskatoon) said the measure will help small bor- rowers to keep out of the hands of loan companies, some of whom had reputations "not too savoury."

Clarle Gillis (CCF-Cape Breton South) described the measure as "one of the most desirable pieces of legislation ever introduced in the House"

Chaplin Gives Up Residence In Unileililales

LONDON, (AP)-Charlie Chap- lin said Friday night he is giv- ing up his residence in the Un- ited States because "lies and vic- lous propaganda by reactionary groups" handicapped his film work. .

The little comedian his decision in a four-sentence statement. He wrote it out in long-hand in his luxurious suite of the Savoy hotel as he looked out over the Thames to the Cockney world of Lambeth where he was born 64 years ago Thurs- day.

The renunciation of the Am- erica which nurtured his wistful genius was issued in typewritten form by the hotel's public re- lations office.

A British subject who never sought American citizenship, Chaplin was linked last year by the U. 5. justice department with Communism and "grave moral charges." He was harred from re- entry until he could establish his right to enter the United States through an immigration service examination "like any other alien."

OTTAWA. (CP)-aThe govem- ment has tamed down a request that all prisoners of war in the Second World War be given a I1 I day for their period of captivity.

State secretary Bradley Friday letter written to the National Council of Prisoners of War making known this decision. He ded thlt he also has turned it wn a request for a further cabinet audience by the council to plead its case.

The gist of the government's de- cision is that Canadians who were prisoners of the Japanese and of the notorious German organisa- tions, the es. and Gestapo. did suffer hardships which entitle them to an automatic It a day

Therefore there will be no such award for them on an automatic basis. However, the facilities of the pensions advocates of the vet- erans department are being made available to any forms prisoner who wishes to seek a special award for maltreatment.

The flags of Germany and Can- ada flew side by side as the '17- year-old German Chancellor landed to talk immigration and trade and to put his head together with Can- ada's leaders on the state of the world.

The national leader. addressing the annual meeting of the New Brunswick Young Progressive Con- servative Assoclalion, stressed the need of maliitainiiig and expanding markets, especially in the United Kingdom.

Trade with the United States was welcomed, Mr. Drew said. "but we don't think it wise to put all our eggs in one basket."

Heavy Eli?" Assaults Are Turned liack

BEOUL, (AP)-Chinese infantry renewed their assault on Pork Chop hill in the pre-dawn darkness Saturday and bitter fighting raged on into the daylight hours for the Waetem front outpost.

The Reds threw 1,000 troops against Pork Chop and five other key peaks Thursday night and early Friday. All assaults were re- pulsed, some after hours of fight- ng.

OVTAWA, (OP) - Federal Treas- ury subventlons to help Canadian mines sell coal to the railways are to be increased in (Eastern and Western Canada, it was learn- ed Friday.

Auction exipected to be taken by cabinet next week would add around s2.000,000 I year to the cost. of the su-bsldies. They now total between 60,000,000 and 87,- 000,000 a year. - government move, infor- mants said, is aimed at making it more feasible for the railways -particularly the government own- ed Canadian National Railways -to buy Canadian coal in compe- tition with United States fuel.

Subventlons Requested

It has received appeals for such action, particularly from Nova Scotia, where some small mines are threatened with closure be- cause of a threatened shutdown in the railway market.

Subventions on coal bought by the railways are paid on the basis of a formula. worked out several years ago .The formula now is being changed, and eventually 'will be revised to provide higher pay- ments.

Mleanwhile, it was understood, the C.N.R. has agreed with the government to take coal from Canadian mines to approximately the same amount it bought last year, with the Dominion Coal Board over-seeing arraiigerments.

Will Aid Maritime Mine

For the Maritimes. a major ef- fect of this would be the contin- uance of purchases from the inter colonial Mine at Westvillc, N. S., which had been threateatened with closure because of loss of the CNR market. CNR president Don- ald Cordon recently told the com- mons railway committee the com- pany could not buy coal from Canadian mines when it was not priced competitively with U. 5. fuel.

Canada May Make New Type Long-Range Plane

OTTAWA, (OPT-Defence Minis- ter Claxton said Friday night Can- ada is exploring the possibility of acquiring the right to make a new type of long-range aircraft.

The minister did not elaborate except to indicate to the Commons that production of the new aircraft. if rights were acquired. would start in about two years.
