(L.C. Audette, chairman of = Canadian Maritime Commission observed that under the terms of the subsidy the company pays back $250,000 a year to the fed- eral treasury.)

Halifax Performs In Drama Festival

TORONTO ‘CP)—Halifax took over the Dominion Drama Fes- tival. Wednesday with an after- noon performance by Travelling |Players of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts and an evening appearance by Marktonian Players in Canadian Patricia Joucry’s Teach Me How To Cry.

French adjudicator Michel St. Denis was generally critical of jthe ‘matinee performance of | Ghosts, declaring the actors

— in the. essential require-

t of making the tragedy pro- Sees effectively from one high point to another.

“They did what they could to give us a good ‘play but. did not succeed.”

He complained of. carelessness

ve | Selkirk had not been given -) in lighting and timing and pointed

out that one actor, in announcing there was a fire some distance away, was;in no position to see the flames from his position on stage.

“Those things of atmosphere terribly important,” he said.

The adjudicator confessed he was not in love with the works of Ibsen but admitted he had great admiration for the playwright’s realistic writings which, he said, were the beginning of modern theatre.

Criticizing the staging. he said the play was presented in ‘‘a box set, not very imaginative.”

He said the performance did not produce the necessary strong characterizations and the actors

at times could barely be heard.

Geediine Geee eenaat cheiaoias couldn’t keep up to it.

First on the list was considera- tion of a government bill increas- ing income taxes and revising de- ductions.

Breaking fast from the starting

gate, COF House Leader Hazen

Argue moved that further com- mittee study be given the bill’s provision ruling out as decuctions from taxable income those hos- pital bills paid by governments under the national hospital insur- ance plan.

Mr. Argue said the proposal

|was discriminatory. Persons

covered by private plans could

|claim hospital bills but persons

covered by the public plan could

|not. J. W. Pickersgill (L—Bona-

vista - Twillingate) agreed.

But Finance Minister Fleming said people who have their hos- pital bills paid by the public in- surance plan can’t expect to draw a double benefit by also claim- ing the bills as tax deductions.

The big Progressive Conserva- tive majority settled the issue, defeating by a vote of 166 to 39 the CCF motion: for further com- mittee study. Liberals voted with

ithe CCF.

Final approval then was given the income tax bill. Mr. Fleming pulled out and Prime Minister Diefenbaker swung in to seek ap- p-oval of the state treaty for re- establishment of an independent and democratic Austria — signed at Vienna May 15, 195—by Aus- tria, the United States, Russia, Britain and France. —

That was handily disposed of and Mr. Diefenbaker disappeared toward the lobby. Next, Veterans Minister Brooks sought second reading—approval in principle— of his bill to increase loans avail- able to war veteran farmers for enlarging their farm holdings and equipment.

At that point the pace caught

up to the cabinet.

They said Soviet Foreign Min- ister Andrei A. Gromyko also has indicated that the Big Four for- eign ministers might consider ending the speech-making phase of their conference and go into secret talks.

The Western ministers ap- peared resolved to respond to Gromyko's feelers for secret ‘ses- sions only when he puts them for- ward more precisely.

Inside the Palais des Nations, where the formal Big Four talks are being held, Past and West bogged down in a cressfire of criticism over the rival \ Soviet and Western plans for a German peace settlement.
