FREDEIRIICION. April 0-(OP) -A bill to provide for freezing of

rents in New Brunswick from April 30 to July 1 and for municipal control alter July 1.

was introduced in the Legislature today. '

Federal rent controls expire at the end of this month.

Introduced by Education Min- ister James W. Brlttain, the bill does not require a municipality to control rents. Mr. Brittain said the Government feels municipalit- ies are in a better position than the Proivncial Government to con- sider local conditions affecting rentals.

If no action is taken municipality before July 1, no rental control will exist in the municipality after that date unless the municipality later enters the field.

The bill closely follows other Maritime Provinces' rent control measures.

Increases in hunting licenses fees were provided for in a bill in- troduced by Lands Minister Gill.

The proposed amendment to the Game Act would raise the cost of resident hunting licenses to so, an increase of Si and n 010 increase for non-resident licenses would boost them to 335.

Speaking in the budget debate. Mr. Brlttain said education ncvw represents a national responsibil- 'ity and natiohal emergency. Mr. Brlttain said Federal aid should be made available on a scale corn- mensuraie with the need. In many New Brunswick areas the tax bur- den was approaching the limit of the ratepayers ability.

Legislation to make "certain definite" changes in acts respect-. ing teachers pensions and salaries will be introduced at the present legislative session," Mr. Brittain announced. He did not amplify this statement.

U. S. Orders New Cut in Tin For Cons

Part of Rove To Deceniralize Economy

(By Alex Singleton)

BELGRADE. April 6-(AP)- In a sweeping move to stream- line the government, Marshal Tlto's powerful Communist Polli- buro today abolished 16 Federal bureaux and transferred their functions to the government of

the seven member republics in Yugoslavia. The decision was taken at a

meeting of the Politburo Thurs- day and approved today by the Presidium of the National As- sembly. The presidium. which is in effect the ruling committee of the country's parliament, acted after a speech by Planning Min- ister Boris Kidrlc.

The action marked the second and. thus far. most important step taken by Tlto's Government in decentraiizing Yugoslavia's economy and placing responsibil- ity for. production on the should- ers of the republics. It is an attempt to balance the country's top-heavy agricultural production with an industrial machine to cut down heavy import. expenditures for machinery.

Most of the ministries abolish- ed were of a minor nature. No members of the Politburo. bul- wark of Tlto's strength. is affect- ed. -

The Governmentls first move in this direction came in February with abolition of the all-powerful State Control Commission under Politburo member and Vlce-Pre- mler Blagoje Neskovlc. That com- mission reached into all branches of the government and all phases of economic life. Its responsibili- ties were turned over to "elected representative bodies" in each of the republics-Serbia. Croatia. Bosnia - Herzegovina. Slovenia. Montenegro, Macedonia-and the autonomous region of the Volvo- dina. Factories were placed in the hands of workers' councils. rather than economist overseers.

Better Than In Russia

Tito and his top sides have been predicting this new move. hailing it as a liberalization of control along Marxist lines. This. they say, is better than the way things are run in the Soviet Un- ion, where the tendency is to- wsrd more and more central con- trol with its resulting ponderous bureaucracy. '

In the reorganlzatlon,- the Yugoslav central government re- tnins control over foreign rela- tions. international trade. security and agriculture. The Republic bureaux and workers' councils will. of course. be answerable to Tito and the Politburo.

"Knowing how to unite and or- gan-ize ourselves in proper time. instead of being destroyed separ- ately. the free nations, by their determination and cohesion. must discourage aggression and assure the. security and peace of the world." He reiterated a pledge that France will "spare nothing to promote the organization of col- lective security."

May 66 Seeking To Bait lrap

By Robert Eunson

TOKYO. April 7 -(Saturday)- (AP)-Chinese Communist troops broke contact with advancing Al- lied forces on the west-central Korean from Friday and retreat- ed unzlerlflre.

The Red retreat was made on s. 17-mile sector north of Uijongbu. -but how far it had gone was not disclosed.

Other Chinese on the 40-mile broad western and central fronts put up stiff fights at some points and negligible resistance at others.

The sudden disappearance of Chinese north of Uijongbu sur- prised front-line troops who had spent the preceding two days digging the Reds out of defensive positions only four miles north of the Bath parallel.

Reason For Withdrawal

Observers agreed the withdraw- al may have been ordered for one of two reasons:

i. The Chinese Communists may be badly hurt and forced to regroup. or

2. The Reds might be baiting a trap. setio touch off s. mighty spring counter-drive.

A force of 280.000 Chinese still was deployed north of the 38th parallel in a sector loosely em- bracing the I-l.'wachon-Kumhwa- Chorwon triangle.

Hwachon. eight miles north of the old political boundary. was the immediate objective of ad- vancing U. N. troops.

Field dispatches said the ad- vance on Hwachon moved ahead slowly. The Reds were being de- stroyed or forced -to yield ground.

Supply Difficulties

AP correspondent William C. Barnard said units fighting up narrow mountain trails were be- ing supplied by Korean bearers.

American. Greek and Thai (Siamese) infantrymen north of Chungon. 4.5 miles northeast of Seoul. moved forward in spite of Red heavy artillery fire.

A commonwealth unit driving northwest of Chungchon filed up substantial gains against a sur- prising lack of resistance.

Barnard said the stiffest resist- ance on the west-central front

The dairy line should be held if at all possible, Mr. Shaw stat- ed. The prospects are encourag- ing, and the industry is of para- mount lrroortsnco in the whole agricultural economy.

Supplies of western grains are apparently held up due to short- age of cars. Large quantities of feed grains are piled up without storage cover in the West await- ing movement.

"The western farmers are just as anxious to move this feed. as we are to get lt," Mr. Shaw stai- sd. "but trsnqsortsiion is the big obstacle. some mecisl considera- tion on this problermwould seem necessary."

had very little comment to make. other than to state that he had conferred with Federal authorities on the whole question. The starch initiated, and some re-arrangement on freighis along border points may help to move substantial supplies from New Brunswick points.

While the starch program may remove troublesome surplus and stabilize prices at the present minimum price. it will not mate- rially affect the low average price received for the bulk of the crap during the whole season. The price of millions of bushels mar- keted has been depressingly low and should merit further consid- eration at the en-d of the market-

ing season. Suggestions in this respect advanced at last fall's conferences. have been further

discussed, Mr. Shaw stated.
