Fishermen Seen Deserving Deal Equal To West

OTTAWA (CP) — The govern- ment was accused Friday-ol -hav- ing a double standard for assist- anmce—one for Prairie farmers Gad anather Ge Marites ficher- men.

The Newfoundlander recalled that J. W.

Mr. Granger said the sugges- tion apparently wasn’t acceptable fo the government and the “‘fish- ermen of Newfoundland and Labrador have been wronged by neglect.’”.

“There was no similar attitude on the part of the sovernment toward the Prairie farmers last summer. Certainly the Canadian fisherman deserves the same as- sistamce as a Canadian farmer. I did not know that there was a double standard for Canadians.”

Prominent U.K. Woman Dies

LONDON (CP)—Violet Mark- ham, 86, who represented Cam ada on the governing body of the International Labor Office in 1923, died at her home in Kent Monday night.

One of the most prominent women in English public life, Miss Markham held a number of high admmmistrative posts in the civil service. She received the HA appointment from the late prime minister Mackenzie King, whose long friendship she com- memorated in Friendsbip’s Har- vest, published in 1966.

Although she opposed the cam- paign for women's suffrage, she made an unsuccessful try for a papliamentary seat in 1918 after women won the legal right to vote. during the First World War. The daughter of a wealthy Derbyshire coal mine owner, Miss Markham had little formal education but developed an early interest in industry and munici- pal affairs. In 1914 she was named to the executive board of the National Rel ef Fund and she began a 26-year term as a mem- ber of the Industrial Court in 1920.

OVER-ALL SPENDING CUT

The gross estimate for the 1959-60 defence budget is $1,695,- 000,000 or $72,000,000 less than the gross estimate for the fiscal year ending next March 31.

However, these figures are not an accurate representation of de- fence spending because of special defence department accounts which have been drawn on in recent years and now are being liquidated.

When withdrawals from, these accounts are included, the 1959- 60 defence budget is $1,695,000,- 000 compared to $1,767,000,000 in 1958-59, a reduction of $72,000,000 in the coming fiscal year.

Amounts for equipment in the armed forces have been slashed by $105,000,000 and the amount

CORNER BROOK (CP) — A Newfoundland businessman says the key to the province's future prosperity may lie in the develop- ment of a slender deep-water inlet 250 miles east of here on the south coast.

Claude K. Howse of St. John’s, representative of the British New- foundiand Corporation, pointed to Bay d'Espoir as the logical focal point for the province's transpor- | tation and communications sys- | tems.

Mr. Howse said the harbor should be developed for handling deep-sea shipping and the area could be promoted industrially. Roads to link the isolated bay with highways leading to St. John’s could also be built. SEES CENTRAL HARBOR “Bay d’Bspoir is located near the geographical centre of the island and is a natural commun- ications focus,” he said. “Good harbors exist around which a. sub- stantial port could grow. Suitable industrial sites are available in the immediate vicinity of the po- tential dock sites.’’

Except for government admin- istration, eastern and western Newfoundland were almost in

Russians Hold Yank Convoy From W. Berlin

BERLIN (AP) —.The Soviet Army Tuesday ignored three strong prétests and for the sec- ond day held up the passage of an American military truck con- voy bound from isolated Berlin to West Germany.

United States authorities here viewed the incident as the most serious pressure on Allied life lines since Moscow launched its campaign last November to get the Western powers out of West Berlin.

The four open trucks, Aended with jeeps, and five American soktiers were stopped at the East German autobahn chgckpoint . at Marienborn, just across from the West German border, at 1:0 p.m. Monday.

for development by * “$34,000,000. But estimates for construction of buildings and works are up by $20,000,000 and for operations and maintenance by $47,000,000.

The big reduction in equipment is accounted for mainly by an $82,000,000 slash in procurement of aircraft for the RCAF. Both the CF-100 and Sabré jets went out—of- production last year.

NOTHING .FOR TANKS

The army has not been given a cent for procurement of tanks and: armored fighting vehicles although a new _armored regi- ment was formed last year. The new regiment — the Fort Garry Horse — is being supplied with equipment from the other three regiments by reducing the num- ber of tanks in each squadron.

A sum of $10,000,000 is set aside for development of sites for thé Bomare anti - aircraft missile,

and new radar stations. This pro- gram eventually will cost more than $300,000,000.

The budget estimate for de fence is $1,680,000,000 or a cut of $7,100,000 from the current fiscal year. However, an additional $15,000,000 will be used from a special defence department ac- timate to $1,695,000,000.

Wheat, Milk Are Offered

JAKARTA, Indonesia (Reuters) Canada has offered surplus wheat and dried milk to help aid Indo- nesias development.

Canadian ambassador T. F. M. Newton Tuesday said this would be done under the Colombo Plan.

He said the amount of surplus wheat and powdered milk would be modest and would not affect Australias trade with this coun- try.

,The ambassador said Canada had adopted the counterpart aid scheme for giving Colombo Plan aid this year to Burma, Indonesia and the three former Indochina states.

He told closing sessions of the two-day , Ontario Psychological Association annual meeting Satur- day that with effective group therapy, “we can assume that these inmates will be intellectu- ally prepared to face the outside world.”

Mr. Gauthier said the group therapy program was started last summer at Kingston with 24 inmates voluntarily taking part in three groups. They prompted enough inmate interest to plan three additional groups next sum mer.
