Duplessis Plans Commission

QUEBEC, Jan. 13 - (Cl?) - Pre- mier Duplcssls today proposed the setting lip of a royal commission to inquire into federal-provincial re- lations. -

In the bill, given first reading to- day by the Legislative Assembly, Quebec's Union National Govern- ment proposes to set up the com- mission to study:

"1. The problem or the distribii- tion of taxes between the central power, the provinces. municipalities and school corporations.

"2. Encroachmcnts by the central power in the field of direct taxa- tion . . . in mattersof income and corporation tax and succession dut- lee.

"3. The repercussions and re- sults of such encroachments in the legislative and administrative reg- ime of the province and in the col- lective, domestic and individual life of its people.

"4. Consttutional problems of a. legislative and financial nature in general,"

The proposed inquiry is another step in Premier Duplessis fight against what he has repeatedly called "invtislon of provincial rights by Ottawa."

Quebec is the only province which has not signed a taxation agreement with the Federal Gov- ernment.

TOKYO. Jan. 13 -(AP) - Gen. Mark Clark, United States com- mander in the Far East. today backed up Japan's blunt warning to Russia to keep its planes out of the air over Japan.

The warning said that if the planes persist in flying over Jap- anese territory U. 3. aircraft will order them to land and if neces- sary force them to land or shoot them down.

Clark's headquarters said he had "issued instructions to appropriate commanders to take all measures necessary to prevent further vio- lations of Japan's security or acts which endanger U. S. forces."

Japan's warning made with full U. S. agreement, reflected a tough- ening policy. U. 8. planes have not fired hitherto on intruding Rus- sian planes.

Under the U. S.-Japanese peace treaty, American forces are charg- ed with the defence of Japan.

The Japanese Government in an official statement said flights over Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost is- land only six miles from the Rus- sian-heid Kurilcs. "have of late become increasingly frequent."

The statement itself made no mention of Russia, but Foreign Office spokesman Mitzuo Tamika did in elaborating on the statement at a. press conference.

Clark's instructions went to the air force which recently disclosed that its new all-weather night. fighter, the F-04, has been in op- eration over Japan. sabre jets, me best killer in Korea of Communist Migs, may be in the Japan air de- fence force, but the air force will neither confirm nor deny this.

American planes have avoided any direct firing action against RU-I-Bllill planes over Japan. Several weeks ago. U. 5. aircraft eiicount- ered a Soviet plane over Hokkaido. but it merely escorted it beyond Japanese territorial limits.

Disease Appears Mild; No Deaths Are Reported

AUSTIN. Tex., Jan. Spreading influenza were reported over the mldwest- em and southwestern United States today with Texas apparent- ly the hardest hit.

Schools in at least 14 Texas town: were closed and dozens of other communities were consider- ing closing their schools. None of

13-(AP)- outbreaks

the closings were in the major cities.

Dr. George Cox, Texas state health officer. said it was too early to say there was ii state- wide epldemic, but he said the outbreaks had reached epidemic

proportions at some places. The influenza report: centre in an area extending from Indiana through Missouri, Kansas, Col- orado, New Mexico and Texas. In some parts of Missouri and New Mexico the outbreaks ap- parently were easing off. The dis- ease appeared to be of A mild form, and no deaths have been reported.

While the situation appeared to

he easing somewhat at. Kansas City-only 18 classrooms in the school system were without

teachers compared with 49 yes- terday-almost 20 per cent of the city's 60,000 public school students were absent. There were 15 per cent of the students out of classes at nearby Leavenworth, Kan. Other Eastern Kansas com-

munities reported similar absen- tecism.

New Mexico health authorities identified the virus as "A"-prime flu."

Thus for, reports of zibseniceisiri have been rentrcd in scliools.

There has been no indication that industry has been hampered in the affected area, and there were no reported plans for clos- ings other than the schools.

N. S. legislature To Open Feb. 3

HALIFAX, Jan, 13 -- (CP)n- The third and possibly last session of Nova scotla's 44th Legislature will open Tuesday. Feb. 3, it was announced today.

The present House. dominated by Premier Angus L. Macdonald and his 26 Liberal followers. was elect- ed in June, 1949, and although it could legally continue for five years, elections are usually held every four. June is a favorite elec- tion month.

Progressive Conaervatives form the official Opposition with eight members and the CCF has two. There are no vacancies.

It will be the first legislature opening for Lieutenant-Governor Allistiiir Fraser, the New Glasgow native who several months ago succeeded J. A. D. Mccurdy.

There was no immediate word on who would move and second the reply to the Speech from the Throne and no indication of pos- sible legislation.

The Opposition. however, is like- ly to continue its attacks on Lib- eral managenient. During the last session they' sparked probes which uncovered several controversial is- sues in the public accounts com- mittee.
