“There is no discernible pres- sure in the U.S. for the govern- ment to make contributions to the scehetme from general gov- ernment revenues," Prof. Clark said.
The‘ Canadian pension scheme is financed through a special two per cent tax on personal and corporation incomes and com- modity sales. The pension fund has been running deeper into the red, especially after the Pro- gressive Conservatives boosted the monthly payment to $55 from $46 last November.

ON AGENDA
. OT’1‘AWlA (CP) — The govern- ment asked the Commons Friday to open the way for legislation authorizing federal payments un- der the projected hospital insur- ance plan to start July 1. Debate on its resolution is to resume Wednesday.
The House authorized the.ad- dition of two more Commons standing committees to, the 12 now in existence. The new bodies will scrutinize public estimates and veterans’ affairs.
Inother business, Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker informed the Commons that no action may be expected this session on any new pension-s plan that may emerge from a study being made by Van- couver Professor Robert Clark. Prof. Clark, of the University of British Columbia, was ap-
‘ pointed last winter to study the
United States Social Security plan of retirement pensions financed‘ by contributions from employers, employees and the self-imployed. Works Minister Green, through whom C e n t r a 1 Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports to Parliament, said there is no in- tention of reducing the interest rates on loans the corporation makes under the National Hous- ing Act. Such a reduction would be “detrimental to the best in- terests of the country at the pres- ent time."
Frank Howard (CCF—Skeena) introduced a bill to require po- litical parties to report their elec- tion expenses.
READY JULY 1
Health Minister Monteith, mov- ing a resolution paving the way for a bill to amend the hospital insurance legislation, said British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Newfoundland are ready to start benefits under the plane July 1.
As the ted-eral legislation now stands, the central government’s contribution to the scheme, to be financed on a 50-50 basis by the two levels of government, may not -begin until Jan. 1, 1959, when Ontario has indicated readiness to start. ‘ ,
Mr. Monteith said Nova Scotia and New Brunswick “home to commence Jan. 1,” while Prince Edward Island “agrees but has

The minister made no mention of Quebec province, :1 hold-out.
Minor amendments to be in- cluded -in the legislation, Mr. Mon- teith said, provide for medicines to be covered only when actually administered in hospital. They would not be covered “on a take- home basis."
Medicines, meals, accommoda- tion and other insured items also will be covered for hospital out- patient treatment, but medicines would be paid for only when ad- ministered at the hospital.
Opposition parties supported both the hospital and the com- mittees resolutions.
Opposition Leader Pearson cau- -tioned against anything that would see Parliament adopt the United States Congress’ committee sys- tern.
“It seems to me that often those committees operate with a maximum of publicity and sensa- tion-seeking, with charges and counter-charges before television cameras in an atmosphere more

Legion Deals With Flog And Lotteries As Convention Ends
EDMONTON (CP)—The Cana- dian Legion national convention ended Friday with a motion ask- ing that any new Canadian flag include the Union J.ack in its de- sign. The federal government was asked to settle the matter.
The closing business session also voted to ask that the Crim- inal Code be amended to allow bona fide welfare organizations to operate lotteries and games of chance. -
Another motion asked that Polish-Canadian war veterans be given the same pension benefits as Canadian veterans.
A series of resolutions protect- ing veterans preference in civil service employment also were passed.

PARIS (CP-)—The powerful So- cialist party, major parliamen- tary stumbling block to Gen. Charles de Gaull>e’s bid for power, Friday night postponed a
' crucial decision on whether to
back the wartime leader.
Whether the general would be prepared to go before the Na- tional Assembly and ask inves- titure as premier with full pow- ers for at least a year depended on that decision.
The Socialists, meeting in the heavily-guarded National Assem- bly building, ‘decided to adjourn their conference until this mor- ning. V

“We have taken no decision. But the trend in favor of sup- porting de Gaulle seems to have been visibly strengthened after our deputies had heard Guy Mol- let’s report on his conference with Gen. de Gaulle."
CRITICAL BLOCK
The Socialists control a critical block of 98 seats in the Assem- bly. De Gaulle would need them to offset the 142 Communist votes that could be expected to be cast against him. There are 596 seats in the Assembly.‘
Former Premier Edouard Da- ladier told a meeting of his Rad- _ica1 Socialist party -that de Gaulle will be invested as premier Sun- day or Monday if all goes well.
