New Shooting In Mid-East Is Reported

D

JERUSALEM (AP) -— New shooting was reported on Israel‘: borders with Jordan and Syria Sunday.

As border tensions increased. Jordan demanded the removal of U.S. Marine Colonel Byron Leary as the UN truce observer.

In an announcement that Jor dan is ‘taking its latest border dispute with Israel to the UN Se- curity Council. the Arab govern- ment said it no longer will co- it w not consider his decision binding on Jordan.

Israel already boycotts the mixed armistice commis- sion headed by Leary. The Jor- danian demand for his removal brought about the possibility Jor- dan too would boycott the com-

-' mission.

Prime Minister Macmillan has his first personal meeting today with Felix Gaillard. in office as premier less than three weeks.

Is Expected

To Outline Federal Offer

l‘;'iWA ICPi — Tcn proxin V. premiers meet here today and Tuesday to ask for the pay- off on Prime Minister Diefenbakm cr's election promise of a better tax deal for the provinces.

But it is virtually certain that one or more further conferences will be necessary between federal and prouncial governments be- fore a new tax-sharing agre- mcni is hammered out among them.

At the opening session today Mr. Diefeiibaker is expected to give some general indication on how far he is prepared to go in carrying out his election cam- paign assertion that the present tax arrangement. in effect for less than a year. is unfair to the provinces.

STATEMENTS FIRST

His opening statement at the meeting, in the Parliament Build- ings‘ big r a i l w a y committee room, will be followed by state- ments from the 10 premiers.

All 10 wam a bigger share of t tax pot pro- vided by personal and corporao tion income taxes and succession duties. U the constitution. federal and provincial govern

merits have joint claims to these "I

direct tax fields.

Because an immediate solution to the tax problem is unlikely, much of the interest may shift to another matter: of a speedup in the start of the federalcprovincial hospital insur- ance plan.

The Liberals. for example. will be looking for evidence to bear

ut their e i e c t i o n campaign charge that a Progressive Con- servative government at taw; would favor Ontario‘: Conserva- tive Premier Frost, at the ex- pense of other provinces.

Premier Frost has stated that his province needs another $100,- 0Ill.000 in federal tax conces-

riie possibility bl

sioiis l-Jxperls estimate that to meet [his demand, another 8350 000.000 would have to be provided to the other provinces if they were to be treated equitably.

‘I EXTRA SPENT ALREADY

The federal government‘: prob- lem is heightened by the fact that ii alrady has committed it- self to spend an additional 5100.- 000.000 or more a year for in- creased old pensions and other social welfare. And it still has done nothing yet on an elec- tion promise to cut taxes.

The eventual agreement on I federal-provincial tax-sharing plan could involve changes in the two major features of the present arrangement, put in effect last

April I by the former Liberal government.

One feature. in effect. provides the provinces wi certain

share of the three direct tax fields-—per'sonal and corporation incom tax and death taxes. An increase in the sharing formuli would mainly benefit Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.

Ontario has rented the personal income tax fie to the central government but collects her own corporation income levies and succession duties. Quebec col- lects all her own taxes.

France Gets Ready To Seek Funds To Avert Bankruptcy

PARIS (APl—France is getting ready to ask for some fresh out‘ side money to stave off bank- ruptcy.

Premier Felix Gaillard's gov- ernment has already forced ap- proval for $24,000,000 in new taxes through National As- sembly to meet an internal crisis. Now Finance Minister P i e r r e Pflimlin is getting ready to ask for loans of about $500,000,000 to replenish the shrunken reserve of foreign currency.

It is generally conceded the Unitcd States and Germany are the only powers in a position to help.
