RCAF Tr

ansport

Is ‘Not Available’

OTTAWA (CP) — No RCAF transport was available to take former air commodore Johnny Fauquier to Engiand for a spe-} cial RAF ceremony, Defence Min-| ister Pearkes said Wednesday in the Commons.

He was replying to Paul Hellyer} (L — Toronto Trinity) who was ruled out of order by Speaker Roland Michener when he asked whether space was not available on an RCAF Lancastér that left here Saturday for today’s cere- mony. The Lancaster carried four permanent RCAF officers.

The ceremony is the presenta- tion by the Queen Mother of a royal standard to famed 617 Squadron of the RAF, known as the Dam Busters. Fauquier is the only Canadian ever to command the squadron. The four perman- ent officers flown to England by the RCAF Saturday are also for- mer members of the squadron.

Fauquier has said he was in-

The seven-man inquiry, headed by Hon. Charles P. McTague, prominent Ontario jurist and bus- inessman, was announged in the Commons by Prime Minister Diefenbaker who said its wide powers also call for special at- tention to “‘the most urgent prob- lems.”

These included inequalities “in the freight rate structure, their effects on the various regions, legal obligations and limitations; imposed on the railways and an equitable distribution of any re-

OTTAWA (CP) — The govern- ment is giving the impression that it is adding $200,000,000 in unemployment insurance benefits when in fact workers and em- Ployers will be paying for 80 per cent -of that amount, Liberal Leader Pearson said Wednesday.

The government ‘dares take for the full sum, Mr. Pearson told the Commons as the opposition kept up its attack on Proposed unemployment _ insur- ance amandments that will in- crease contributions and widen the number of contributors to the unemployment insurance fund.

He reiterated Liberal charges that the government has evaded | | and violated the law in dealing with the fund and quoted from recent speeches by Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker to contend that a false impression was being cfeated of government benifi- cence.

Bickering and procedural dis- putes marked the debate.

Finance Minister Fleming, who protested frequently Tuesday that Liberal speakers in the debate were out of order in their re- marks, found himself accused of trying to range in the same ir- relivant fields as he began to! juri

speak near the end of Wednes day’s sitting.

He charged that Liberal speak- ers had made “untrue state ments” and drawn conclusions not based on fact. They had mad¢ “nonsensical, misleading and dis torting’ remarks.

As he began to get specific, however, Liberal members pro tested that he was trying to deal ‘with points they were told earlier were out of order.

Before the minister could elab- orate on his charges against the Liberal speakers, the si ended. But Mr. Fleming have another chance when the de- bate resumes today.
