By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — The federal
government’s freight rate prob- lem will come to a head about mid-April, now that the Diefen- baker governm-ent has been re- turned.
Before the government for de- cision is the question of whether a freight rate increase of 3.6 per cent should be allowed.
Information Tuesday was ‘thta a hearing on this issue will be held about April 14 and that the cabinet is expecetd to make a de- cision on it before May 1. TENTATIVE DATE
A cabinet hearing on a similar
iprciblem—-th-at of a. telephone rate increase for Ontario and Quebec —has been tentatively set down for April 15, according to inform- ants. \ Bot.-h hearings involve appeals to the cabinet from the federal board of transport commissioners, and in each there are mnay mil- lions of dollars involved. ‘
Increases in both cases were awarded to the railway and tele- phone comrpanies by the transport board, and also in each case the cabinet has suspended the in- creases until May 1.
On freight rates, the railways in December obtained from the board authorization for an -in- crease worth about $15,000,000 a year to be etftective ‘Jan. 15.
ALL BUT TWO APPEAL ‘ All provinces except Ontario and Quebec l1a.ve appealed this to the cabinet. ,

A certain amount of politics has been tangled up in the freight rate issue, with eight pr'ovincial governments stacked up against the railways as a federal general election impended. But now that the Conservatives have an over- powering majority in the Com- mons from all provinces, a fairly fast decision can be looked for. I-informants said the verdict is .pretty sure to come before the May 1 deadline of the time ex- tension.
creases, appnoved by the board of transport commissioners lut suspended pending appeals to the cabinet. There is the controver- sial lssue of the railways’ plan to eliminate diesel firemen on freight and yard service. And there is the huge task of draft- ing programs of legislation, ex- penditures and the budget for the new Parliament.
A cabinet shuffle is in the off- ing to give more representation to Quebec province,/whose voters jumped solidly on the Conserva- tive bandwagon Monday after staying firmly Liberal in last year’s vote.
Conservatives toppled 41 Liber- als in the former Quebec strong- hold of the Liberal party to take 50 of the 75 seats. The province’s representation in the cabinet likely will be increased to its usual six members from the three named last year by Mr. Diefenbaker.
The party?s Quebec victory was the greatest since 1878 when it won 69 seats; -— -' .
But the extent of the Conserva- tive_ avalanche elsewhere was so great-‘that ‘Mr. Diefenbaker would have had a ‘clear-cut majority without a single Quebec seat. OPPOSITION PROBLEMS
The Conservative steamroller of success left opposition parties with problems for their future.
The .60-year-old Mr. Pearson, who took over the Liberal reins from retiring Louis St. Laurent last Jan. 16, told reporters he be- lieves “it’s a good-thing for the country‘ to have one party in a majority.”
CCF Leader M. J. Coldiwell, 59, said. after his personal defeat in Rosetown-Bigger, Sask., th-at he will still work for the party but never again will run for Parlia- ment. I
Solon Low, 58-year-old Social Credit leader who lost his seat in Peace River, Alta., said his party “lost our MPs but our movement is not destroyed. We must reor- ganize to be in a position to come back.”
Liberals were left with eight of the 33 Atlantic provinces seats-— three in New Brunswick and all five of their previously-«held seats in Newfoundland which was the only province where Conserva- tives didn’t gain. West of Ontario they held only one seat, Mac- kenzie‘ River in. the Northwest Territories.
Mr. Pearson was left wit; only
Liberal cabinet.

“Atlantic. enterprise should be a part of Canadian enterprise." he said. "Canada doesnot end at the St. Lawrence River.
