OTTAWA (CP)--Half of this year’s $5,000,000 national fitness fund has been allocated to the provinces for their own fitness programs, Health Minister Mon- teith announced Monday.

The 500,000 allocation to provinces from the 1962-63 fit ness budget will be made un- der separate federal-provincial agreements, he told the Com- mons. Proposals for such agree- ments have gone out to each province for approval and sign- ing.

In the meantime, $250,000. will be split among the provinces to help finance the planning and organization of programs de- signed to develop fitness and amateur spor'

mid-June election, most obser- vers feel the minister will be announcing some good news for the voters.

However, even without new tax cuts or benefits, another sizable deficit for 1962-63 seems unavoidable. Government spend- ing plans already announced in- dicate a new high in expenditures ahead.

It was the fifth red-ink year in a row, and cumulative budget deficits since April 1, 1957, now exceed $2,192,800,000. naar year’s deficit compared one of 400,000 in 1960-61 — the previous peacetime high of | $609,300,000 in 1958-59.

The matter is of national ard international importance at a time when the prime minister's election threats make future de- bating opportunities appear dim, argued Liberal Leader Pearson.

He said the action of Mr. Pearson was “irresponsibility at its worst.”

The Liberals made two sep- arate attempts to debate the statements of Gen. MecNaugh-

scnerad

ton, 75-year-old Canadian chatre man of the International Joint Commission since 1950, wartime commander of the army over- seas and a former Liberal de- fence minister. In his job, he had a long association with the Columbia problem and was an adviser to the Canadian govern- ment.

The general alleced Friday that he was removed from of- fice by a “dictator,” had dis- socated himself from the Col- umbia River Treaty right at the start and felt Canada could have driven a much harder bargain with the U.S. in the treaty signed in January, 1961.
