Projeclsgldusi Be Of National. Importance Size

OTTAWA. (CPl-The Commons agreed Wednesday to the principle of in government measure to pro- vide federal contributions up to 37 1-2 per cent of water con- servation projects undertaken with provinces and municipal- ltles.

Resources Minister Winters' bill, which received second reading. makes statutory the government's practice of entering into individ- ual agreements on such projects. No dollar limits are set on fed- eral contributions. but it is speci- fied that projects must he of a size that make them of national importance. I

The hill was still under discus- sion in committee-of-the-whole stage as the House rose and will be taken up again today. All parties expressed approval of the measure.

Excise Tax Act

Earlier. the Commons gave third and final reading to a series of amendments in the Excise Tax Act. implementing changes in Finance Minister Ahbottls bud- get. Members gave detailed study to the tax changes.

The Commona' only olhcr.leg- islaiive action of the day was to give third and final reading to a full revision of the legisla- tion providing for government of

the Yukon. The elected Yukon council of five members is given jurisdiction in several fields

where Canadian provinces exer- cise control. including roads. elec- iions, hospitals and agriculture.

OTTAWA. April I -- tSpecial) --Prince Edward island may par- ticipate in a Federal-Provincial water conservation plan, it was intimated in the House of Com- mons here today by Resources and Development Minister Win- ters. The Minister when spon- soring a bill for overall conserva- tion of water resources was ask- ed by W. Chester S. McLurc if any provision hires contained in the hill to aid small projects such as the rebuilding of old dams which held farmer mlllponds. He said lllfll. while Prince Edward Island had no large rivers and no grave flood problems such as are

found in other provinces. it noneihclcss had water conserva- tion needs.

Mr. McLure felt that widespread benefit would ensue by rebuild- ing former mill-dams and turn- ing the ponds above them into fish reservoirs and liatcherles. When he asked Mr. Winters if the legislation would encompass such a development, the minister explained: "Each project would have to be reviewed on its merits. whether or not it was too small or too large would depend upon the size of the project, the rev- enues of the province and the willingness of the nlllrllClp.'Iliii('S and the provincial govt-rnmr-nt to participate and bring it forward for consideration."

In previous water conservation projects. Mr. Winters said. it has been the practice for the muni- clpallty involved to pay 25 per cent of the total cost of construc- tion while provincial nnd domin- ion governments pay 37 and a half per cent each. The Federal Gov- ernment would match but would not pay more than the provincial

government contrlhut ion.

IDAHO FALIJ. Idaho. (AP)- The school for atomic submarines is getting ready to andu-te its first class.

The score or so officers and men in the class will be the "engineer- foree" for the atomic-powered lu brine Nautilus.

When. probably some time next year. the skipper of Nautilus speaks the old order "one-third ahead." these men will be the first in the world to turn on atomic energy for motive power.

Behind them will be a year and a. half of training unlike that any sailors ever swuted through. - neck at llettis field near Pitts- burs . PL. in the laboratory built by the atomic energy commission and operated by the Westinghouse Electric corporation. they began

an academic course.

At. first it. was quite common- place. Then it began to grow tougher. more intricate: there was the theory of nuclear fission. Then they studied the blueprints and "mock-up" models of the atomic

engine itself.-

Eventually they came to the "submarine thermal reactor" site at the national reactor testing station about 40 miles from here.

In Washington Tuesday the ABC made the first official announce- ment of what these men were up to: that an atomic power plant to propel a. submarine had been placed in operaton-on the dry land of its Idaho testing station.

Actually. the'ersw has "grown up" with the prototype atomic en- gine like that to be used in the Nautilus.

The system. established under the terms of Confederation, is op- erated by the Newfoundland fish- eries board. which gives an ex- cluelve export licence to the New- foundland Association Fish Ex- porters. Ltd. The board's power would expire March l. 1954, but they are to be extended three years. -

J. W. MsoNaught. parliuneritary auistant to Fisheries Minister Sinclair. said there will be these modifications: .

1. A consiiltative committee is in be established by the board to review NAF!iL's operations. It will include mpresentatives of Asher- inen. NAFEL and the Newfound- land government.

2. N'Al"liL'S inclusive export privileges will be somewhat re- striated.

Most important of these chang- es, Mr. Mac.Naught said. is that sales of wet salted and pickled fish may be made directly by non- NAFBL ex-porters--including fish- ermen themselves-to the Canad- ian mainland and continental Un- ited States.

PM-arranged sales are to be made by April 30 of each year to protect fishermen. If forward con- tracts are not made before April 30. purchases will be through NAFEL as at present.

Mr. MacNaught added the pro- posed modifications are aimed at meeting criticism of the NAFEL system from fishermen and others.
