Member Of Commons Speaks

OTTAWA, April 24 - (CF) The lone woman member oi the Commons - Mrs. Ellen Fairclough (PC - Hamilton West) - today told the Federal Government. that if it plans to use taxes to reduce the national debt it should inform the Canadian people.

Speaking during continued de- bate on the 1952-53 budget, the 47- year-old chartered accountant said 52.344.000.000 has been knocked off the debt in the last. five years.

The Canadian people and par- liament were not consulted as to "whether or not these debt reduc- tions should be made at this time."

People in the low income groups are in a sad plight, she said. They are gradually los- ing their savings and cashing their insurance policies because of the heavy burden of taxa- lion.

The national debt reductions were being paid for by the "taxpayer at the risk of his own savings."

She added:

"if the Minister (Finance Mails- ter Abbott) believes the national debt should be reduced, let him say so and let him put into the budget an amount for this pur- pose. not call it public buildings which cannot be built, and cloth- ings for the forces which cannot be used. and equipment which is

Experimental Station Plans

ram This Year

The Dominion Experiinentai Station at Charlottetown has mapped out an ambitious program for the coming summer and fall. it was learned yesterday from Mr. R. C. Parent, Station Sup- erintendent and his Division heads.

Much of the work is a continu- ation of the long term projects which have been started years ago and which must be continued. The remainder of the projects are new undertalilngs and there are at least two such projects in every department.

”We expect to accomplish more work with fewer men," stated Mr. Parent. The regular staff will be practically the same as that of last year but fewer college students will be employed.

In view of the intense interest being shown in grass silage. among the most important undertakings at the Station will be the con- struction of a trench silo. The silo will be constructed at the rear of the dairy barn and next to the root cellar which is under the brow of the born.

This silo will be 30 feet long. 10 feet wide and eight feet deep. one side will be formed front the pres- ent wail of the root collar with the silo being constructed so that dir:ct ciitraiicc can be made to it from the feed niiey of the main bat-ii.

To Start In May

The silo will be built in such it way that a tractor may be able to enter one end and pack the silage Construction is expected to start about the middle of May and when the walls are built. a remov- ablgs roof will he placed over one side. Both cut'gzriiss and long grass will be used in It for coni- parlsons.

A silo should be conveniently situated to the ham and miisi, be

Some Receive Cracked Heads; 14 Arrested

BERLIN, April 24--IAP)-About 25,000 Communist Blue Shirts stormed West Berlin's frontier to- night in a professed peace rally that resulted in a few cracked heads and 14 arrests.

The regimented youths of East

Berlin were sent to stir u trouble with shouts of "Ami, go home" and "We demand a peace

treaty.” it was the first time in months that Communist street- figlitlng tactics have been em- ployed in divided Berlin.

West German police estimated 15,000 youths infiltrated the shop- ping area of the French sector. At a prearranged signal; they broke into their "peace" demon- stration just as the normal work day was ending.

About 10,000 others-deployed along the Soviet frontier-shouted above the din of their own land- speakers, threw bomb rubble bricks and. in one case, kidnap- ped a West Berlin policeman and dragged him into East Berlin.

Several thousand West Berlin police, including highly-trained alert units, kept the Communists at bay with fire hoses. Fourteen ring leaders caught inside the west sector were taken to prison.

Four policemen -were among the wounded. In most areas of the 90-mile-

lonz border. the Communists were satisfied merely to shout indigni- ties across the frontier.

Throughout, the eastern theme was pegged on the l(rcmlin's lat- est moves for four-power handling of the question of German unity, torpedoing of West Germany's determination to align herself with European defence and for wooiril! German scniiincnt from the Allied powers.

Truce Talks

Hinted;

Climax Seen Imminent

By Robert IIIIIJOI

MUNSAN, April 25 -tFricia,ii- (AP)-Communist reporters hint- ed Thursday that a new develop-

iment is imminent in the bogged-

down talks on a Korean armistic--. They sprcad their hints at the confercnce site of Panmunjcm in!

the wake of sharply pessimistic reports from Washington and Pziping on the prospects of a

truce. They gave no indication of the iiaiure of the devclcpincnt. Tension mounted at the tiny town of Panmunlom It appear.-it obvious that off-the-record negot- iations on the crucial issue of ex changing prisoners were approach-

ing a climax.

Negotiators were to resumetheii. efforts in the 17th secict session

opening at 11 a. in. (9 p. m. EST

Thu.rsday).

A flurry of activity Thursday inside the tent where delegates; were discussing prisoner exchange gave no clue whether the Reds had; come up with a new proposal. Both. sides are sworn to secrecy. I

Truce negotiators twice recessed their talks and huddled sclparatclyl for 15 and '75 minutes. In the past.l recesses often have been called to study new proposals.

But. the lid was on tight.

Newspaper men had one general ccmrment: '

"Wh:n a secret committee is cut this long, something must happen soon or it never will."

There were two possibilities:

.1. The talks which have been going on for nine pionths to end the bloodshed in Korea might be approaching a breakdown.

2. Tem-pcrs worn thin in long dzlzate might be eased by a new thought or ii -new idea for agree- ment.
