between the Federal Department of Agriculture. the Department is bound to contribute to the con- struction of s. new livestock arena. The Federal Government contri- bution had been fixed at 357.000, payable at the rate of 510,000 A year.

In view of rising costs, this sum was found to be insufficient and application was made for an increase in the federal grant.

J. Watson MacNaught, Liberal member for Prince took the mat- ter up with Agriculture Minister Gardiner, and the Minister's con- sent was secured, subject In final decision of cabinet council. The additional amount will be 510,000, or will extend the existing agree- ment. for A period of one year.

Opposition Efforts For Probe Fail

OTTAWA, (CP)-In a few tense hours, the Commons saw a Liberal member resign his seat and the opposition unsuccessfully demand an inquiry into government con- tracts awarded the oontrsctor with whom he said be exchanged cheques.

Austin Edwin Dewar. 40-year-old member for the Saskatchewan rid- in; of Qu'Appcile since 1949, an- nounced his resignation and left the House immediately after deny- ing that there was any "inten- tional wrongdoing" in his exchange of cheques with Harvey Lunan of Regina from 1948 to I951. He said he stopped the practice who he oame to realize that this, combined with the fact he was a member, might create "a false imPT9!l0n-"

The practice later was labelled by Prime Minister St. Laurent as "an abuse" which takes advantage of the banks.

Will Run Again

Mr. Dewar, making clear that he will seek the Liberal nomination again in his riding for the forth- coming general election. denied that he made any profit out. of Lunan or out of the public treas- ury. He had swapped cheques to help out "an old friend" when he was in need of financial help.

Urge Inquiry

1n the wake of the first Com- lmons resignation under these cir- lcumstaiiccs in 21 years, a united op-position called on the govern- ment to launch a parliamentary committee inquiry into the award of contracts to the Lunan Con- struction Company and the gov- ernment's "failure" to protect sub- coritraciom to whom, they claimed, Lunan now owes S21-19.000 after going ban-krupt before completing some of the work.

Mr. St. Laurent rejected the

Nild. Gov”t For Huge

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld, (CF) - Pin- ance Minister Gregory Power pre- sented his budget to the New- foundland legislature Wednesday, estimating a surplus for the com- ing year of s4.095,300.

Terming it the "greatest budget in Newfoundia.nd's history.” Mr. Power said the province last year had a. surplus of 88,644,100, nearly s250,000 more than estimated.

The budget called for only one tax change, a five-cent. tax on ad- mission to all places of entertain- ment. The estlmated yield is about

Surplus

3250000 and will be used for can- cer con-trol.

Mr. Power estimated revenue for the coming year at 536,095,300 and expenditure at s32,0-48,800.

Noting that economic develop- ment would continue, he estimated that the total earnings of New- foundlanders from all sources will be about s2l0,000,000. an increase of 527,000,000 over last year. This, he salt, had become a fixed rate of increase since confederation and would make the average per caplta earnings about 8570.

Large Layoff

Word has been received at the National Employment Office of the expected layoff this weekend of approximately 45 workers at the Bruce Stewart Co. plant. It is further indicated that an addition- al 45 may have to be laid off next weekend. With work on I-l.M.C.S. West- mount, the naval ship which has been here since July 1951, rapidly nearing completion and no further ships of her also expected to come to this port for refit, the layoff of workers is not unexpected.

Mr. H. E. MacDonald, manager

Indicate-d

At Bruce Stewart Plant

of the plant, said that it was only natural that as work comes to an end there should be a cutback in labor, The company regrets the necessity, but as all efforts to ob- tain other ships from the Navyl have apparently failed there is no alternative.

There is a possibility that a small craft may be received for work to be done, but she is oil such a. size that at most only une' third of the present workmen would be required to handle it. The full staff at present numbers approximately 150 men.

Stresses Flight Of Civil Servants

”Canada can for better be do- fendcd with her fighter squadrons in Europe and in the outlying re- gions of this country rather than around her towns,” stated Air Vice Marshal A. L. Morfee, C.B., c.B.E., C.D. last night as he addrcssedthc members of the 201. (Confedera- tion) Wing Royal Canadian Air Force Association at their annual dinner at the Charlottetown.

Air Vice Marshal Morfee added that Canadians must u. educated to this fact so that they will not panic in the event that war does occur. He further that Canada is concentrating on build- ing nghter planes and pointed out hat the enemy will not strike it we are sufficiently prepared.

The guest speaker, a veteran of 30 years service with the Air Force took a cut at the Navy when he stated that aircraft car- riers in modern warfare would be useless. He suggested that the Navy concentrate on building small ships.

During his address the Air Vice Marshal reviewed the growth of air power from the days of the First World War until the present and be impressed upon his listen- ers that it is necessary to have control of the air in order to pre- vent or win xi..;s.

Prior to his address Air Vice Marshal Morfeo presented Captain Carl Burke of Maritime Central Airways with an honorary mem- bership in the Air Force Associa- tlon.

On Retirement

0T'I'AWA, April 29-(Speciall- An appeal that the government consider the plight of former civil servants who retired some years ago on pensions of 050 or 360 a month was made in the Commons this afternoon by W. Chester 8. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queens. Mr. McLure urged that these former govern- ment employcs merit consideration because their pensions formerly worth 550 a month are now worth only s25 in the light of increased living costs. ' In reply Finance Minister Abbott .-.aid that even if an increase in pensions of retired civil servants were justified, the increase should not be made under the Civil Ser- vice superannuation Act. If such an increase were to be put into effect, it should be. the Minister said. by I. special item in parlia- mentary estimates.

The United Nations command had opposed this as leading to "endless captivity" and said 00 days was long enough to deter- mine thc attitude of the prison- ers. The Allies want the prison- ers left in Korea pending settle- ment of their future.

orrawa, April 29-tSpeciall- Importance of the town of O'Lcary in Central Prince County was rec- ognized in Parliament's supplem- entary estimates carried an item for 325,000 for preliminary costs of a Federal public building there. The 325,000 will cover the cost of a suitable site and the drafting of plans only. Estimated cost of land and the completed building is 8l50,000.

The new structure planned for 0'Leary will have offices for the R.C.M.P., the Fishcrics Depart- ment, and the Department of Ag- riculture. On the ground floor it will house a. commodious Post Of- fice designed to meet all present and future needs of the commun- ity and surrounding district.

J. Watson MacNauglit, Liberal member for Prince and parliam- entary assistant to Fisheries Min- ister Sinclair told The Guardian today that need of a Federal pub- lic building at 0'Lt-nry had been recognized for 30 years. It is un- derstood that as for back as i919, Federal Govcrnnic:-'. authorities agreed to give the project consid- eration. but for one reason or an- other the building failed to secure a place on either main or supple- mentary cstlmatcs. For some time past, Mr. MacNaugiit has urged the needs of the community iiithis respect, and Works Minister Four- nlcr subniltted his plea to treasury board.

Mr. Mac.Naught is hopeful that a nrst-class site can be decided on withoutdeiay and that actual con- atruction can begin before the end of the year.

In rt-ply, Mr. Macblaught said he had already given a lull ex- planation of the change on March 26 last. Chief reason for the in- creased measurement of lobsters was in the interests of conserva- tion, he said. Since that date no new reasons had been advanced for the regulations, sponsored by departmental experts, to be chang- cd. Mr. MacNaught told the House that elsewhere in Maritime Prov- inces waters, the new measurement! is being used. He did not state, whether or not any protests had! been received by lobster hshermenl from New Brunswick. Nova. Sootia,l Quebec or Newfoundland. '
