Members Will Hit Jackpot In Indemnities This Year

OTTAWA, Oct. 28 —- (Special)- With a fair volume of work still ahead of them, members of the Commons are now almost certain to receive the full $4,000 indem- nity for the current fall session.

This will make their yearly 1949 paydouble that of the ordinary parliamentary year.

Members whu were in the House dufiiill the last Parliament col- lected their $4,000 scssional in- dcmnlties for the session that ended April 30, and will now get a_ like amount if the present sit- tinit lasts until November 22. To vnilcct a full indemnity, the House must sit for 65 calendar days.

if however, the Commons and Senate should rise before Novem- hcr 22. members will collect in- demnity at the rate of $25 a day only. For instance if Parliament sits for 60 days. member's pay would be $1,500 instead of $4,000.

Members who are out of luck for their autumn indemnities are the eight who were elected .at bye-elections on October 24. Since these new mem-bars cannot take their seats or become eligible for pay until they are gazetted, they go on the Commons payroll only next week. They cannot possibly do a 65 days’ stint. so will be paid at the $25 a day rate.

P. B. l. M. P.'l

All four Prince Edward Island members of the last Parliament Will uroflt by the 1949 double in- demnity. Messrs. McNaught, Mc- Lttre, and Douglas because they were re-elected and Dr. Grant because he was appointed to the Senate. Hence the three M.P.'s will have a cushion with which to meet anv election debts which might possibly be outstanding.

According to treasury figures. Mr. MacNauzht who is Parlia- mentary sssistant to the Minister of Fisheries is best paid of the Island legislators this year. With his two indemnities of $4,000 each. $4,000 as Parliamentary assistant and some $1.000 tax-free expense alowance, the member for Prince leads both in “take-home pay" and in the amount he will contribute to the income tax division.

In Queeirsboth Mr.McLure and Mr. Douglas will draw their dou- hie lndemnities totalling $8.000 plus the $1.600‘ tax-free expense allowance. Senator Grant will have his Senate indemnity of 84.- 000 for this fall in addition to his

llrge Canadian Coast (iitord

OTTAWA. Oct. 28 —(CP) - Members from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts today urged in the Commons that the Government establish s Canadian coast guard service.

G. F. Higgins (PG-St. John's East) said it is "humiliating to Canadians" to have to rely on the United States Coast Guard for life- saving services along the coasts.

J. L. Gibson, independent mem- her for the Pacific coast mmtltu- ency of P -Aibernl, ed tha Mr. Higgins put his meech on the coast guard in moth balls. He would be able to use it next year because from past. experiliee it would be just as pertinent at. that t me.

‘New Altitude

Mark In giro.‘

MONTREAL, Oct.%—-(CP)_. A new altitude mark in Can- ada was believed recorded to. day in the skies over nearby St. Hubert. QUQ. by F0. Mal- colm G. Graham, D.F.C., a pilot with the R.C.A.F.'a 410 (Cougar) Fighter Squadron. who took his British jet Vam- pire aircraft to 47.000 feet,

Thu 25-year-old native of Dutton, Ont., said later that; "Montreal looked like a small- slzed ashtray from that heisht." He said that visibility WM I0 800d that he could see Lake Ontario approximately 200 miles away.

The present world altitude record is listed as 59,492, re- cently chalked up in England by the latest version of the British jet fighter pliine—the Ghost Vampire.

Doctors Discuss lalesl Methods Cancer Treatment

HALIFAX, Oct. 28 —- (CP)—A degree of relief from certain types of cancer can be obtained through chemical therapy in cases where operation is impossible and radia- tion not. effective. a group of dac- tors was told here today.

Dr. Robert Begg. head of the cancer research clinic at Dalhousla University here. ecu ended to the university's refresher course for doctors that chemical therapy be employed only where other types of treatment are not possi- ble. More than 150 physicians and surgeons from the Maritime: are attending the course.

Dr. Begg said the subtle differ- ence between cancer and healthy. cells made it difficult to kill the cancerous cells without injury to the healthy ones by chemical means. ’

A degree of improvement in in- operable cancer of the breast and prostate gland can be obtained in- some cases through use of sex hormones. he said.

Nitrogen mustards also were used with success in some cases, by destroying the diseased cells. Use of anti-compounds would offer a promising field if researchers could determine what causes the fidclerence between healthy and malignant cells-

HALIFAX, Oct. 28 —- (CP) - Sausage casing has been the means of saving a number of lives by doing the work of non-functioning kidneys.

Dr. D. W. Gordon Murray, senior demonstrator in surgery and clinical surgery at the University of Toronto, described the process today at. the Dalhousle Uriiverslty refresher course for doctors. More than I60 physicians and surgeons

are taking the course. The patient‘: blood is circulat- ed through the sausage casing,

which is sufficiently porous to al- low impurities to filter out while retaining other ingredients.

Dr. Murray said it was the first such process in North Am rlca. It had been used successfulfy ln a number of cases where other measures did not work.

TOURIST RECORD

Q .

l

The. Charlottetown Board Y)! Trade, in resolutions passed at its monthly meeting last night, urged the City Council to install im- mediately a number of parking meters on a trial basis, and also undertook to investigate the cost of installing traffic-lights and to submit competitive figures to the City Council "to take whatever ec- tlon they see fit."

Other matters discussed in the course of an exceptionally bury meeting included tardy rural mail deliveries and o, proposed civic by. law imposing a stiff license m; on hawkers and peddlers.

In supporting the motion to iri- vestlgatc cost of traffic light, i,“ stallation, President Frank Curtis said he felt that the figure oi $30,. 000 for three blocks. stated at one time to be the cost of traffic ligl t.- lng for Charlottetown, was "a lit,- tle ridiculous."

Scores "Dilly-Bullying"

"The city Council has been dil- ly-dallying about parking meters much too long," stated Major TB. Rogers in discussing this issue. “Last fall they said they would see about. them in the spring. in the spring they postponed it. to the fall and now this fall it seems there will he no action until next. spring. Why is Charlottetown at- ways last with civic improve- ments?" he asked.

"The City could probably get. enough revenue from parking me- ters this winter to pay hr tne snow removal where they would be installed," Maj. Rogers argued. He was supported by Mr. Roy Cud- more who said that every other town of the size of Charlottetown has them.

Rural Mail Delivery

Reporting on the attempts to get faster delivery of the rural malls, Mr. B. Graham Rogers. said "action seems to have been delay- ed by the Post Office, as we have had no information from them for some time." He said it was "it!- touricling" the number of people who asked him when the deliver- ies would be speeded up. Ha cited the case of an important Air Mail

Mayiave legion Convention llere

The possibility of the 1952 Con- vention of the Canadian Legion being held at Charlottetown was mooted by Majf T. B. Rogers at

last evening's meeting of the Board of Trade.

“This would be the biggest thing that has ever come to

Prince Edward Island," the speak- er said. “But it depends on whe- ther Charlottetown could accom- modate the 1500 to 2000 delegates which annually attend this con- vention., It would also require the full co-operation of the public bodies involved. When I go to Winnipeg next year, I will have to have everything cut and dried about the accommodation. But I believe we can have it if we want it." he continued.

Maj. Rogers said he was speak- ing as a private member of the Canadian ‘Legion. The convention. would be held in the pre-toui-ist season, about the middle of June. He believed Legionaires from cen- tral and western Canada would sail down the St. Lawrence. Some i5 pullman’: would also be re- quired in Charlottetown, as well as 'the hotels and other tourist ac- commod tluris. He said that the Forum would be required for the final ‘ ‘

record. with it and the Times. we feel Victoria will be given the type of 24-hour newspaper service to which it is justly entitled."

The politically-Liberal Times was part of the vast interests held by 81-year-old Chris lpanoar and mm. hers of the family. When the Bperscors sold their mercantile interests-the David Spsncsr Ltd. —to the T. Eaton Company Lat, last December. the newspaper prop- erty was not included.

The Times was founded in‘ 1m by Hon. william Tsinplssnnn, a member of the haul-fer Cabinet. He died in 1016.

Board 0f Trade Discusses Meters And Traffic Lights

Two Canadians. French Boxer Cerdan Killed

PONTA DELGADA, Sao Miguel, The Azores, Oct. 28 — (AP An Air France Constellation bound from Paris to New York crashed early today in flames against an Azores mountain D0 miles north of its normal course and all 48 persons aboard were killed.

The dead included Guy Jasmin, edltor-in-chief of the Montreal French-language newspaper, Le Canada, and Mrs. Rachel Jasmin, his mother. Another victim was Marcel Cerdan. the former world middleweight boxing champion.

Advices reaching here said res- cue parties found all 37 passengers and ll crew members dead around the wreckage near the summit of the 3,500-foot. Algarvia peak of Sao Miguel, largest island of the Azores group. The bodies were charred and unrecognizable.

The plane, in command of the veteran Capt. Jean de la Noue, 37, dropped out of radio contact with ground bases after sending a mes- sage at 2.50 a.m. (10.50 p.m. EDT Thursday):

“Having accomplished first part of trip normally, ready to land at. 2.55 on Santa Maria airdrome, Azores, weather be- ing clear."

i ..._

Eight hours later the wreckage was sighted on Sao Miguel, 90 miles north of Santa Maris. which lies at the extreme southeast side of the rugged, Portuguese-admin- istered archlpelago iri the Eastern Atlantic.

A cryptic radio report from a United States air rescue detach- ment. in the Azores checking ori the crash said:

' “Observation from air, stirvlvurs. Unconfirmed by ground party."

The message, filed from Lagens do Pico to United States Air Force headquarters in Wiesbaden, Ger- many, gave no details.

Rescue workers were in the area before dawn, suggesting that they might have been mistaken for persons from the wrecked plane.

Air France officials said the weather had turned bad. They could not explain, however, why they had heard nothing from the plane after its 2.50 a.m. report.

The program was announced by Attlee in the House of Commons Monday. ‘The House Thursday cori- cluded a debate on the economy measures by defeating a Conservat- ive want-ol-confldence motion, 353 to Q2.

A. J . Cummings, veteran political correspondent of the Liberal News Chronicle. wrote.

"Not since I began to take an active part in British politics can I recall so sweeping a public con- demnation of any government as that which has followed the Prime Mlniatefs announcement of economy cuts.

"Apart from the two chief Labor organs-the official Daily Herald and the lncreaslngly-servile ‘trib- unktlie British press of nearly every shade of opinion has poured a stream of bitter contempt upon both substance and taste of Attlee‘s pitiful thesis."

Such newspapers asthe Mari- chester Guardian. Liberal. and the in; rendent Times joined in the critical chorus.

The Guardian estimated that the Mw austeritles will dove only about 250,000,000 this year. scarcely enough to offset the amount by which Government expenditure will surpass budgetary i estknates. The Tltnes said the proposals are hardly more than s "set of chapter head- ings, with no sulntanca under them "
