Former Critic Admits National Film Board Is Showing Improvement

0'1-rawla. April 30 -(OP) -G. K. Fraser (PO-Petcrborough West) said today the National Film Board. once a "hot potato” "no federal cabinet minister wanted to claim, has improved in recent years.

Mr.'Fraser formerly an out- spoken critic in the ' Connnons on activities of the crown-owner film board. said the improvement has been shown since the board was placed under Resources Minister Winters in 1950.

Revenue Minister MoCann.,whc reported to the'0ommona for the board from 1945 to 150. said that he was not jealous of the com- pliment paid to-Mr. Winters. How- ever, he wished to remind Mr. Fraser that present policies of the board were started before Mr. winters took office.

J. M Macdonnell (PO-Toronto Greenwood) said Dr. Miccann was trying to "divide the spoils of praise." He suggested the minist- ers should be as ready to get up and divide any blame.

Mr. winters replied that Dr. Mc- Cann's remarks were "very justifi- able" and that Mr. Fraser's critic- ism of the Film Board while it

The exchange occurred before members agreed to establish a 20- member. all-party nimittee to review activities of the board. The review will be the first undertak- en by a parliamentary committee since the board was established in 1939.

Mr. Winters added: '

"I am sure most Canadians ice that the National Film Board is doing good work. and they will welcome this opportunity of hav- ing a detailed study made of the board's activities as reflected in its annual report."

W. Arthur Irwin. film commis- sioner. listened to the debate from the ofilciais' gallery.

Mn Fraser said he is glad the government has at least consent- ed to an investigation of the board's activities. The committee was about five or six years too late. He was sure that the findings of any earlier committee would have been smbarrissing for the different cabinet ministers who were in charge of the Film Board.

-M. J. Coldwell. O. 0. F leader. also praised the board. There had been criticism of John Grlersony former flint commissioner, but Canada owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Grlerson for having come here to lay the foundation for the production of valuable document-1 ary films.

Whole. Eve 1 To Be Appealed To Suprenle Couri

By Willard 11. Mobley '

WAS!-liENiG'1'0N. April 30 -(AP) The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals put the strike-bound steel mills back in possession of the govern- ment tonight. but only temporar- ily. pending an appeal of the whole

historic issue to the supreme court . Meantime, the country-wide

strike continued. The administra- tion hopes that the 0.1.0. steel- workers. who once again were tec- hnically employeesoi the govern- ment, would call off the walkout, but Union President Philip Murray was silent on his plans.

The Circuit Court. in I close 0-4 decision, stayed until Friday the effectiveness of an anti-seizure order issued by Federal District Judge David .4. Pine.

Judge Pine. ruling that Presi- dent Truman acted iilegally and unconstitutionally in seizing the vast industry to head off a strike. issued an injunction declaring the mills must be returned to their owners.

The Appeals court made its stay indefinite. it will. remain in effect until an appeal in the su- preme Court is acted upon and should the Supreme Court refuse to review the case, the stay would continue. allowing continued seiz- ure, until the Appeals Court issues a. further order.

The only requirement to keep seizure in effect until the high court acts is that the government ills its Supreme court appeal by 4:90 p. m. EDP Friday-something

Canadian Exports Up

This Year

orrawa. April so -(OP)- Canadian exporters did a cool 81.000.000.000 ,business in foreign markets in the first quarter of 1962. it was marked by fairly sharp inceaaes in buying by Britain.

Export figures both for March and for the first three months oi the year outstripped comparative totals for 1961 by more than 20 per cent. Mach kept up the pace despite a drop in American buying from Canada partly because of foot-and-mouth disease.

The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics also reported today that for all three months Canada's exports topped imports whereas imports topped exorts in all the first three months oi 1951.

The flgurcr -

1. In March Canada sold 53153,- 800.000 worth of goods abroad. 21 per cent above March 1951. r'1'he three-month total of 090'1,200.000 was 22 per cent ahead of the same 1961 period. Added to this was 312,000,000 worth of foreign-made goods which Canada bought and sold. raising the three-month ex- port total to 51.000.000.000 even.

2. Estimated imports for the three months totalled sois,0co.ooc. thus canade. had a favorable 1.31.. anoe oi trade in the first three months oi 084,000,000 compared to an unfavorable balance of 3121.- 000,000 in the first three months of 1951.

Exports to the U.S. decreased to t1a5.o0o.ooo from sieo.ooo.ooc with a sharp reduction in the animal and animal products group as the main reason. The 11.8. has a ban on shipments oi meat and cattle because of the foot-and-mouth outbreak. ” . 1

Traditional Moving Day , Of The Past

Toronto movers say their busy season runs from the beginning of April until June. '

Montreal expects to see between 8,000 and 9,000 families on the move this week. There were 20 per cent more last year. Biggest year for moving in Montreal was 1936, when 65,000 families found new homes.

In Quebec City. where us many as 8.000 moves were made May 1 in pre-war years, 1,500 families have taken over new accommoda- tions durlng the last month and another 1,500 are about to do so.

Most Winnipeg house leases are renewed or transferred May 1 but that city expects few changes in tenancy this spring because oi the continuing housing shortage. Apartment leases there generally date from Sept. 30. ' A

The demand for accommodation exceeds the supply in Saint John. N. 13., Halifax, Edmonton, St. John's and Windsor, Ont.

in those cities and in Van- couver, Calgary and Ottawa, many of the families who hire moving vans head iori new housing de- vclopments in the suburbs. Cal- gary, for example, has a 51.500.- 000 housing scheme under way to provide 67 dwellings.

Improvement of Newfoundland living standards and an increase in the population of St. John's has produced a shortage of some 2,- 000 houses ln the island capital. Apartments are scarce and rents run as high as szoo a month.

Civic authorities say about 2.- 500 families in Quebec City are sharing accommodation! with other families in large flats or in houses. They attribute the doub- ling-up to the housing shortage and to high rents.

Building of new homes con- tinues in most cities. But many would-be builders are discouraged by high costs and by the possibil- ity of shortages of certain mater- ials required for the rearmament program.

Commiiiee Hears Evklence

OTTAWA, April 30-(OP) -Dr. Thomas Childs. Federal veterinary director-general, today began an outline of the outbreak of foot- and-mouth disease in Canada and was immediately criticized for pre- senting "a rambling story...iull of hearsay."

The criticisms were levelled by Percy Wright (CCF-Melfort) and John Diefenbaker (PC-Lake Cen- tre) as the 00-member commons agricultural committee started a probe into government handling of the outbreak in South Saskatch- cwan.

Admits Delay

Dr. Childs was the second wit- ness. Earlier, Dr. J. G. Taggart, deputy minister of agriculture, said that he might have been "guilty" of delay in advising Ag-

riculture Minister Gardiner of the

outbreak, at first suspected of be- ing vesicular stomatltls. This ,dls- ease is relatively mild compared to foot-and-mouth.

1-ie disclose” there was a lag of more than two weeks in his report to Mr. Gardiner, absent at the time on the west coast.

Mr. Taggart said he received a verbal report from a departmental official Feb. 2 or 3 last, leading him to suspect the infection to be foot-and-mouth. He did not in- form Mr. Gardiner until Feb. 18.

Scores of questions were tossed at the deputy. but he side-stepped most of them and said they would be answered by Dr. Childs.

Mr. Gardiner interjected that he wondered what "all this per- formance" wns about. Dr. Taggart did not have the information. It was in the hands of other de- partmental men and they were waiting to give it to the commit- tee. The committee should call these other men to the stand.

"The Deputy Minister repre- sents the Mlnlster 'and should be able to give this lnfonnation," countered Mr. Diefenbakerp

As the probe got under way. Pl-illeaa Cote (L-Mstapcdla-Mao one) said -he believed "civil ser- vants" and not Mr. Gardiner or the Government had shown in- efficiency in handling the out- break and he would like to see them "all fired."

History of Outbreak 1

Dr. Childs gave a brief history of the outbreak. most of which had already been made public. He confirmed that the original out- break of what appeared to be ves- icular stomctitis and which might have been foot-and-mouth was on the Leonard T. Was: farm at Mc- Lean, sask., as miles east of Re-

inn. g The outbreak was reported Nov. 26 last. Two neighbors, L. Wood and J.C. Smith. who helped Wass with his sick cattle. apparently brought the disease to their farms. Their cattle went off their feed Dec. 12.

There was another case nearby,
