Federal Cabinet Discusses Lifting 0f Wartime Controls l

OTTAWA. Au . l6 - (CF) _. The Federal Ca inet met today and it was understood members discussed reconversion problems and the possibilit of lifting some of the controls in roduced as wartime measures. ,

Before the Cabinet went into‘ session the office of Muniticnsi Minister Howe announced the im-I mediate removal of gasoline rat. lonlhk and of all restrictions on the use of fuel oil.

It could not be learned what 0- thcr controls the Govarnmgnt planned to lift immediately. It was reported that Prime Minister Mac- kenzie KIIIB may make s. radio broadcast soon and announce what changes will be made in the can. trol set-up.

P°551I3IY Bmflhi! the first to go will be the order freezing workers

person may not leave his job unless he first has obtained a pennlt from National Selective Service. Orders under which men could be compulsorily transferred from one job to another also likely will be repealed. These orders were used about seven times during the war when the labor shortage was at its worst. ,

Some sections of the Defence of- Canada Regulations which gave the‘ Federal Government overriding‘

ers in wartime likely are to be; ifted. Censorship, for instance, is‘ scheduled to end immediately, be- cause officials feel it would be use. less to impose censorship now that the war is over.

However, one of the biggest. pro- blems faclng the cabinet is that of converting industries from war to peace-time production. and of nro- Vidihé! employment for the thou- sands of released war workers and demobilized servicemen. '

Mr. Howe has announced that all‘ direct war contracts would be con- celied a! U!" wiir's end. but “not in one day." And La-bor Minister Mitchell has urged a curtailment of working hours rather than thc| shutting of war industries in areas; where unemployment might result aftcr the shut-down.

A statement on reconvcrsion plans is expected to be made willi- in the next few days by Mr. Hoiva, who also holds the portfolio of‘ Minister of Reconstruction. ‘

Besides the reconversion and con-| trol problems, the Government faces the task of preparing for the ses-l sion of Parliament duo to cncnI Sept. 6. A budget for this year ondJ the monies needed between now and ' the year-end still have to be passed.

Mr. Kim: is expected to reshuffle his Cabinet before (he session. but he has given no indication of wilnt he plans.
