O’I'I‘AWA (OP) — Eight provin- cial governments Wednesday ap- pealed to the cabinet against a new $17,000,000—a-year telephone rate increase for Ontario and Quebec.
The Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities an- nounced Wednesday it also is ap- pealing the increase—which would average about five per cent—but Laban: not yet petitioned the cab- The appealing provinces are all those except Ontario and Quebec, the two directly affected.
The eight fought the case be- ' cause of a tax angle involved in the application, which they felt could have an effect on future de- cisions by the board of transport commissioners involving freight rates.

His bid to enter Canada was unsorted by thousands of Cana- dians after they heard his story of world wandering.
His case was debated before boards of immigration, the Brit- lsh Columbia courts and in the Home of Commons. In the end he was allowed to stay in Canada "Kl prove that he wanted to work ml live in this country.

within Ontario and Quebec, asl well as over rail freight rates. Earlier this month, it granted Bell the increase, effective Nov. 1.
There was no immediate indi- cation as to whether the cabinet would act swiftly on the appeal, which it would have to do in order to prevent it going into effect Nov. 1.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker is leaving the capital Tuesday—— four days before the effective date of the authorized increase—on a world tour. It would be proble- matical whether the remainder of the cabinet would take abrupt ac- tion on an issue of this importance in his absence.
The last previous rate increase authorized by the transport board for Bell in Ontario and Quebec—— one averaging around seven per cent—twas thrown out by the cab- inet April 29 because the minis- ters did not like the income tax

setup on which the application was based, and which was ap- proved by the transport board.
NEW APPROACH
This time, Bell tried a new tax- ation approach, coupling it with an expenditure of an additional $2,000,000 a year in labor costs which it said should be covered by a rate increase. The board ap- proved it.
In the current case, the claim of the provinces and of the op- posing municipalities was that Béll's proposed new tax setup fails to take full legal advantage of tax regulations which could save the company millions a year that could be passed on in sav- ings to phone users.
Instead, the appealing groups claim money is being paid un- necessarily to the federal govern- ment as a hedge against possible tax liabilities in the future.

Since he was granted permis- sion in March, 1957, to remain. he has had several brushes with the law.
FAIRCLOUGH STATEMENT M-rs. Fanrclough said: “Although inadmissible within
a strict interpretation of the im-
migration regulations, Mr. Hon—
na has been shown every con- sideration by the federal govern- ment and by a number of per- sons in becoming established in
Canada. As he has been clearly
unable to da so his deportation
has been ordered.
Hanna was judged inadmissible because he had no passport, no identification and no nationality or known place of birth. He told Canadian authorities that he was born at sea of a French Somali mother, who died when he was 6, and a Liberian father whom
he. had never seen.
FINDS HE’S IN 'UPPE-R CRUST’
VANCOUVER (OP) —— Bak- ery delivery man Donald M. Clark is wondering if it is his job that has put him in Can- ada's upper crust.
He received a letter Tuesday telling him he is listed in the Social Register of Canada.
Clark’s route is in the Shangh- nessy Heights district. which in- cludes the homes of the city’s most prominent citizens.
But Mr. Clark thinks it must be a mistake. He said: “There was a Brig. Donald M. Clark in the Canadian Army. Maybe they got us confused."
Brig. Clark, a Vancouver bar- rister and police commission member, declined to say whether he had received a sim- ilar letter.

SMUGGLED
A despatch from Johnannes-i burg, South Africa, states that‘ South Africa‘s million-pound- a-l yea-r fur industry is in the dold-I rums, and the reason is that‘ more than $700,000 worth of furs} is being “smuggled” in the, Union annually.
The claim is that people go: overseas and bring back mink, sable and other expensive fur, coats, and they don't have to pay a cent of duty on the gar- ment if they tell the customs it is for their own use. The positionl
is serious. and local furriers have dractically reduced their fur staffs — in many cases by half.
At the Seattle Fur Exchange Sale, held at Seattle, Washington, on October 16, autumn haze was the best seller in mink. Males brought from $25 to $38. and fe males $12 to $17. Desert Golds sold at $22 to $33; ceruleans (malesl at $25 to $48 and females $13 ro $17.
