PRISONER EXCHANGE SCHEDULED TO BEGIN APR 21

OTTAWA. (OP) - Opposition Commons members Fridsy critic- ized a. federal budget provision on- iarging personal income tax crediu on dividends received from Can- adian companies.

CC? and Social Credit members called for elimination of the credit, while a Progressive Conservative said it would react against the sale of municipal securities and asked for some compensating con- cession on municipal bonds. During debate on Income Tax Act amendments to implement the budget, the House also heard a re- newal of the CCF's demand for removal of the three-per-cent "floor" on income tax exemption for medical expenses.

The dividend credit proposal would enable taxpayers to credit against their tax 20 per cent oi

the dividends they receive from taxpaying Canadian corporations. starting with dividends received this year. At present. a 10-per- rent credit is allowed.

During the discussion. Finance Minister Abbott brought in an am- endment to the clause to provide that in no case would the taxpayer

escape liability for the two-per- rent social security tax. Opposes Credit Stanley Knowles (CCF-Winni-

peg North Centre) said his party is "strongly opposed" to the div- idend credit. It could result in I person with no other income es- caping tax on dividend income up to 59,760 a year. Mr. Abbott's amendment would have him pay only :00-the ceiling of the social security tax.

West) said the credit would result in municipalities be- ing forced to put up the interest rates on their debentures to sell them to private investors.

The result would be either that

HALIFAX, (GP)-The navy has termed "miraculous" the survival of four airmen whose Avenger air- craft crashed and burned in pitch darkness Thursday night in Nova Scotia's Annapolis valley.

The crash was one of three with- in two hours. The pilots of the other two aircraft, which collided in inid-air over suburban Halifax. were killed.

"We never know we were in trouble until our right wing began clipping off treetops." said chief Petty Officer R. E. M. Geale of Dartmouth. returning to Dart- mouth from Montreal aboard the Avenger.'

Escape Before Fire

"I reached for my parachute as the ship began shuddering but we were on the ground before I could grab it. We crawled clear before she burst into flames."

The four who walked away from the blazing wreckage were Geale. Sub-Lt. J. W. Paton. Montreal: P0. P. Martin. Ascot. Eng; and AB. M. Legare of Gatineau. Que. Martin is in Canada studying under the NATO training scheme.

"it's miraculous that these boys got out of the plane alive." said Capt. A. G. Storrs, commanding officer at the shearwater naval air base across the harbor from Hali- fax. The Navy is investigating crashts.

The men built a shelter from s parachute and spruce branches. Geale walked out to summon help in the morning using makeshift boots made from parachute silk and kapok from a life preservor. He lost his boots in the crash.

Two Pilots Killed

Lieut. Robert O'Neil. and Lieut. F. 6. Rice. Gravenhurst, 0nt., were killed when an Avenger and a sea Fury. one of the fastest piston-driven aircraft in the world, collided near Halifax.

The Sea Fury swirled over homes at suburban Fairview and plunged into the forest in a ball of flames. The other plane spun craziiy into Bedford Basin, 300 yards from homes. oil and rallysrds and a. busy highway.

Russian Spy Ring Smashed In West Germany

U.S. Delegate

By FRANCIS W. CARPENTER

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (AP) -American delegate Ernest A. Gross called on the free world Friday to maintain its strength and un.ity. He dwcribed Moscow's recent gestures as "political weath- er-making, unpredictable in its nature."

Gross urged the United Nations 60-ooun-try political committee to give a swift "no" to the demands of Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky that the assembly accept the old- type Stalin plan for peace, only slightly revised, as a way out of the world's tensions. The plan is embodied in a Polish resolution.

Siding with Gros, Victor Andres Belaunde of Peru, said the pro- posal ls ”perfectly dead-not only dead but rotten."

Ad,iorc'"s Until Monday

The committee adjourned until Monday but the"- is no chance the Polish resolution will be accepted

The time will come when the Soviet government realizes the necessity of modifying its tradi- tional "obstructive policles," Gross said, adding:

Thinks Little

0f Soviet Peace Proposals

"If so. we feel it will be the result of our policies of strength and of unity.

"ft is clear to us that we must not abandon but rather nurture the very strength and unity which has broight forth some conciliatory gestures from the Kremlin in recent weeks.

"it has been the policy of the soviet government, as the world has realized, in alternate periods and tactics of relaxation and ten- sion and back to relaxation again; 11. species of political weather-main inz, unlpredictzble in its nature."

The Polish resolution calls for an immediate cessation of hos- tilities in Korea. It urges both sides to resume talks on the prisoner of war issue and do everything possible to settle thlli. problem. This is the only change from last year when the Poles and the Russians demanded the repatriation of every prisoner. The. change takes into amount the re- vised Cammunti Chinese stand on exc"inge of sick and wounded prisoners and repatriation of oth- ers, with those unwilling to go home to be handed to a neutral

state pending a. final settlement.

Ideniiiy 0f Body Found To Be Error

(OP) -Harold Ti- tus went to a surbumen swim- ming pool Friday to report the death in a traffic accident of his brother-in-law, Grant Wyles, 16. He almost collapsed when his sup-posedly-dead brother-in-law called to him "Hiya, Curly." Tit- us learned Grant had spent the night at the home of a chum be- fore coming to the pool where he worked as an attendant. Young wylesi relatives were notified of his death Thursday night after the boy's sister "iden- tified" a badly-battered body. Police said the boy killed on high- way 401 north of the city wore almost identical clothing and this led to the mistake in identity. The accident victim was later identified as Robert Gilchrist. 14, of suburban North York. He was hit by a. car while cycling. Mrs. Harry Wyles was over- come after learning her son is alive. when she arrived at hos- pital Thursday night officials re- fused to let her see the body be- cause of her shocked condition.

Southern Rhodesia Records Solid Vote For Federation

SALISBURY. (Reuters) -South- ern Rhodesia has recorded a clear "yes" for federatlng with its north- ern neighbors. clearing the way for the birth of 8. British Central African federation of almost 7,000.- 000 inhabitants.

The final count of votes cast. in Thursday's referendum was 25,570 for federation; 14,720 against.

Only four of 30 voting districts showed an anti-federation major- ity.

Expected To Follow Lead

The legislative councils of North- ern Rhodesia nnd Nyasaland are expected to follow southd'n Rho- desla's lead and accept the federa- tion pian, as put forth by Britain, by the end of this month.

The British Parliament has al- ready approved it in principle and is expected to pass the necessary enabling bill in May.

Sir Godfrey Huggins, southern Rhodesian prime minister who has long fought for federation. said last. week he expected that the federation plan would probably be put into effect by next August.

Whitewash As Defence Against Atomic Blasts

CHICAGO, (AP!-A drug made from blood is a hopeful prospect for giving cancers a sucker punch

with x-rays. It may act as a fifth column inside cancer cells, weakening

their defence against x-rays. The rays would hit the cancers much harder. with less damage to healthy tissues which don't take in the drug.

Also. the drug may be a. good messenger to carry radioactive atoms, right into cancers. to bathe them with atomic rays.

As yet, these are just prospects, although tests on humans are under way. P .....

The basic studies so far, and possibilities. were described Fri- day to the American Association for Cancer Research by Dr. Frank Figge, University of Maryland medical school, and Dr. Ralph Wichtermar Temple University, Philadelphia.
