HOLD CONFERENCE
The association along with the two other civil service organiza- tions—the Civil fice Federa- tion of Canada a the Profes- sional Institute of the Public Service of Canada—held a joint press conference to launch the publicity battle against the gov- ernment’s no-increase decision een Tuesday by, Minister Fleming. Among them the three organizations represent about 113,000 civil servants.
The government's decision af- fects some 147,000 salaried civil servants and about 125,000 mem- bers of the armed forces and KCMP—almost 275.000 altogether.

The result left the standing in the legislature unchanged at Pro- gressive Conservatives 24, Lib- erals 10, CCF one.
The seat was made vacant by the resignation of municipal af- fairs minister Clifford Levy to take a county court judgeship. The voting was the first test of the Stanfield government since elected to office in Nova Scotia in 1956. ‘ FIRST TIME
Mr. Zinck, entering provincial politics for the first time, is war- cen of Chester municipality, a rural district of Lunenburg ‘County. Mr. Hennigar is deputy warden of the same municipal- ity.
Premier Stanfield, in Ottawa for a conference of finance mim isters and provincial treasurers, said he is pleased with the re- sults.

Tuesday for tenders on the ship- ping of 10,000,000 pounds of pre- mium 1958 butter to Britain.
The government, which paid a farm support price of 64 cents a pound for the butter, has it stored in cold storage at various points across the country.
The tenders, the deadline on which -is next Monday, are for the trans-ocean shipment of the butter. The government will ar- range to have it delivered along- side shipping at a Canadian port _lof the contractor's choice.
Informants said the key factor in the deal is that the government doesn’t want to undersell the traditional supplier countries. of the British butter market, includ- ing Denmark, New Zealand, Aus- tralia, The Netherlands and, to some extent, Poland.
WORTH MILLIONS
The going price in Britaifi at present is said to be betwen 4 and 55 cents a pound.
At 50 cents. a pound, the trans- action would, be worth a gross of $5,000,000 for the government, which has in its larder an esti- mated 100,000,000 pounds of butter?
ment to sell some of its butter in Britain to relieve a _ shortage there caused by this summer's drought conditions.
In the past, countries such as New Zealand have protested sales of subsidized Canadian butter at below-cost prices in Britain, and Canada has steered clear of any action that might be c¢
as dumping. But it is understood that in this case, the Canadian Government canvassed the other governments involved and got a conditional go ahead just for this once,
