Allies Foil . To Agree O'n _ Summit Deal

PARIS (Reutersl—Thc Western Allies were unable to reach agree- ment Wednesday on a concerted

Sources said a determined ef- fort was being made to harmon- ize the views of the United States and Britain . on one hand and France on the other. But so far, France had not budged from her view that a summit meeting must lie outside the United Nations Security Council in a “serene” atmosphdre. .

OTTAWA (GP) — Thegovern- ment Wednesday stood firm on its refusal to abolish or reduce the 71/21per-cent excise tax on an- tomobiles. .

It also rejected a proposal by the 'CCF to exempt municipalities from the tax on their purchases of police cars and other light motor vehicles. .

“Just why,” asked Harold Winch (CCF —— Vancouver East), “can the finance minister not ex- pand his policy?’-'

thin-g," replied Finance Minister Fleming as the Commons studied details of a bill to implement a

‘-series of excise tax changes an-

nounced in his June 17 budget. .

Mr‘. Fleming said the budget went “a considerable distance" in assisting the 5,000 municipalities in Canada by lifting the excise tax on fire trucks and other equipment that “we are very sure

alone.” j

SIDE EFFECT

He said that if all motor ve-l hicles purchased by municipal- ities were exempt, someone other than the municipalities would also benefit from the exemption when used police cars were traded in every twto years or so.

The big Progressive Conserva- t.ve majority in the Commons easily quashedby a vote of 162 to 43 a proposal by Hubert Bada- nai (L—Fort William) asking the government to reconsider its deci- sion to leave the excise ‘tax on cars untouched. The GOP group supported the Liberal pr 'sal.

LONDON (AP) — Britain Wed- nesday announced agreement by ’15, Allies to cut and revise curbs on trade with the Communist world.

1. Details of a “substantial re- laxation” of the Allied controls be announced Aug. 15. Brit- officials have reported that al- most half the curbs — on nearly 100 items—will be swept away.

Mr. Dumas, whose northern Quebec constituency i n c l u d e 5 many mining towns,'said mine companies should be covered by the new exemptions.

‘The exemption would apply to inconporated municipalities, but not to unincorporated mining set- tlements built by companies, Mr. Fleming said.

Mr. Dumas said such public services, whether publicly-owned or supplied by companies, should be exempt.
