Labor Gov't Strikes Bargain With Rebels; Another Resignation

By ALAN HARVEY LONDON. April 24-(CP)-The .cVolt against Bi-itsln's "pay-as- pou-bite" budget broadened to- night but its immediate political mplications narrowed as rebel ministers promised to go easy on tho hard-pressed Labor Govern- merit. in the fourth day of a develop- ing caibinet crisis whose final re- sults are still unpredictable, these were the main developments: 1. A junior minister, John Freeman. announced his resig- nation as parliamentary sec-

ing of the parliamentary La- bor Party that while they will keep on attacking the arms program. they will avoid do- ing anything which might bring down the Government. Thus the prospect of an immed- ialc general election temporarily receded. Labor members' were re- ported hopeful that Prime Minis- ter Attlee's forces may still hold on until the autumn.

Attlee called on dapper Sir Hartley Shawcross to take over

Wilson's trade post, worth i'.5,000 (314,750) a year. Sir Hartley. who now draws 210.080 a year as At- torney-Generai. was understood to have accepted the lower paying office to oblige Attlee.

OTTAWA. April 24 ---(()P) -' The Board of Transport commis- sioners today set June 11 for the opening of hearings on the rail- waya' latest application for a freight-rate increase.

some primary commodities.

Purpose of the increase is chief- ly to meet the cost of the 40-hour week for employees which starts June 1. .

OTTAWA. April 24 -(GP) - Defence Minister Claxton an- nounced today recruiting will he- gin this summer for women for the regular R. C. A. F. as well as the reserve forces of all three services.

The Minister told the Commons the number involved will be limit- ed and "it is not expected that there will be separate corps or establishments for women at the outset."

"In a unit or formation," he said, "they will fill a place normal- ly filled by a man."

In the last war. the women had their own separate corps in each amied service.

Claxton Explains

Mr. Claxton. replying to a quest- ion by Clarie Gilli: (COP-Cape Breton North). said the expansion of the forces has raised "a real need for a limited number of wom- en to carry out duties for which they are specially fitted."

"Clerks and stenographers are obvious illustrations. There are also a whole new group of oc- cupations related to radar and communications.

"Ground control of ships or air- craft or anti-aircraft guns requir- ing the use of radar involves. in addition to the operators them- selves. personnel to compute the course of the moving ships or air- craft.

"Moreover. today practically all non-operational telecommunicat- ions are carried on by teletype. Active and reserve units are hook- ed up in nationwide networks in- volving the employment of large numbers of skilled personnel. It

large part of this work can be very well done by women. "Further. in the event of a

general war, manpower shortages would make it essential to employ women on an even larger range of duties in the armed forces for which it would be desirable now to have is relatively small nucleus." Mr. Claxton said no women will

Liberal Urges Govit To Restrain Price Markups

OTTAWA, April 24 - (OP) - A Liberal-member of the Commons today called on the government to restrain price markups.

Canada May Establish New Brigade For Europe

By Douglas How

OTTAWA. April 24 -(op) - The Government. apparently ae- cepting the fact the army's special force is going to be tied up in Korea. is believed about ready to announce that a new army brig- ade will be established to carry Canada": colors to Europe as quickly as possible. It would be the army's third brigade and thus give it the equivalent of a divis- ion plus reinforcements.

The Korean war itself, now in one of its most violent hases. has virtually eliminated Ottawa's long- standing hopes that the 10.000-man special force would be available to go to Europe fairly soon. The force's core. the 25th Brigade, now is en route to Korea.

For some weeks cabinet has been studying army manpower in the light of the Korean situation and of Canada's commitment to con- tribute a brigade to Gen. Eisen- hower's Atlantic-Pact army in Western Europe.

The upshot is expected to be an announcement by Defence Min. lster Claxbon that it has been de- cided toproceed with creation of a new formation earmarked for ser- vice in Europe. The statement is likely to come during Commons debate on Defence Department estimates.

It would mean that the long- -range plans for army formations would be put well ahead of sched- ule by tha force of circumstances. There have been plans for a third brigade but it wasn't supposed to it: formed for another year or

OTTAWA, April 24 -- 1CPi The Defence Production Depart- ment today announced that Can- ada will particlpate in the controll- ed rnaterlals plan to be launched in the United States July 1.

This will mean Canada will be able to have her own defence needs considered in the over-all priority system to be clamped on essential goods in the U. S.

Included in the program will be products of steel, copper and alum- inum. Defence projects in both countries will get their share of

As n result of the Korean Wain. he said. many prices had been de-i liberatcly increased in expectation' of ultimate price control.

One of the first things the gov- ernment and parliament should do was to ”addrcss itself to the defence of the buying power of the wage-eariier's dollar."

Mr. MacNaughton said also there is a need to have the public bet.- ter educated on government pull-

lice support is necessary for their success.

He suggested that all channels of information be called into play more intensely. and he proposed appointment of an official to co- ordinate tho ouput of all govern- ment lnformatlon services.

Navy and air force intelligence officers returned to this base to- day after making investigations at the acme of the reported submar- ine sighting -tiny Naufrage har- bar. a. few miles from East Point. in the sourta. area of the Island Province.

shortly after their return a naval spokesman-issued the first offical statement on the lighting: "The inta-protatlon given by Capt. R. A. Foathoraton of Foundatios Marttme seems quite plausible."

Capt. Hathorston laid yester- day that the object sighted was probably the bow of the tanker Essa Rochester which lost its tow after the tanker had broken in two in a storm in the Gulf of st. Lawrence. The stern end was suc-

Thinks China Not Yet All Red

TORONTO, April 24--(CF)-Sir Bone-gal Rau. India's chief deleg- ate to the United Nations. said today that the Western world can still win Communist China away from her association with Soviet Russia.

"The alliance is not insepar- able." he said in an interview upon arriving for a four-day visit to Toronto. "There is a 50-50 chance that if Communist China were given a seat in the United Nations she would then steer a policy of her 0Wll. independent of Russia."

He said that India will continue acting in the belief it is "not too late" to achieve friendship with. China. 1

"Of course in the process onel gets abused for defending what is called tRed China'." he said with a wry smile. "The point is. it is not quite tRed' yet."

Trade Deficit last Year

OTTAWA. April 24 - (C?) --A deficit of s3l6,000.000 - first since the early 1930s --- showed up in Canada's international balance of payments for 1950. the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

He said the outcome "may well prove decisive" but he expressed confidence the hard-pressed Eighth Army would meet the test.
