"Never has so much work been , accomplished in such a short per- i Iod of time,” was the way Hon. 1. George MacKay described his road and bridge construction pm- gram yesterday.

The legislation still faces some major hurdles. It comes up for floor debate in the House of Rep- resentatives within the next few days and then must clear the Sen- ate. But Eisenhower is expected now to rally enough support to get approval of his two main re- quest-s—the five - year extension and the tariff-cutting authority.

The trade act will die automa- tically June 80 if Congress does "not renew it. If that happens, the trade agreements that the US. now has with 43 other powers will be frozen and Eisenhower will have no authority ‘to ‘reduce tar- iffs- on foreign imports.

By lending the money directly itself, OMHC is able to select the

most in the public interest.

Another change, the official said, is that a would-be borrower who can show CIMHC he has been turned by two private lenders may apply for a loan from the goveiuiment agency in any com- munity.

Previously, this CMHC service was available only to persons liv- ing in comniunnisties under 55.000 population. ’

Parliament recently voted the government housing agency an additional $350,000,000 flor lower- priced homes. This action replen- ished funds that had run out about six weeks earlier.

The OMHC ollficial said that in the interval, the private lenders did a heavy volume of mortgage lending themselves.

Between these private funds and the $400,000,000 in direct fed- eral house loans already poured into the busviness by the SW91‘!!- ment since last year. the total volume of housing loans has been very heavy, the official said.

With an additional $350,000,000 in federal funds now available, private lending agenci.es were not eager to begin offering new fed- eral mortgage money for. the lower - priced homes until they could see how the market digests the recent volume, the ocfiflrcial aid-

ISOLATED CASES

A large delegation of truckers waited on Highways ~. lvlinister MacKay yesterday complaining that they were being offered rates conrsidierably below those set by the Government one week ago.

Mr. MacKa-y said he was keen- lly disappointed that certain con- tractors or sub-contractors had seen fit to make suchoffers in View of the study that had been put on this question after some years of negotiation between the truckers and the Government.

He said thenew rates had been estabished fior all Government contracts for the benefit of the truckers and it was thought that those engaged in this work would see fit to co-operate.

Under the new rates, the truck- er is to receive 23 cents per yard for the first mile and nine cents per yard for each succeeding

NOT MORE THAN

PARIJS (AP)-Gen. C‘harle;s de Gaulle agreed Thursday night to form a new French government, but insisted he must have full powers to head off civil war.

President Coty gave him the task with the grave warning to parliament and the nation "that their choice was narrowed now to these alternatives: ‘ De Gaulle or civil war.

The National Assembly major- ity would have to do a revolu- tionary reversal to accept de Gaulle.

The Socialist party, second strongest in the assembly after the Communists, caucused Thurs- day night and adjourned until to- day. Spokesman said they would not reach a decision until Satur- day and this could prolong the crisis through the weekend.

De Gaulle’s rigihrtists ideas and any spectre of authonitanian gov- ernment are distasteful to the big blocs in parliament, espe- cially the key Socialists.

WANTS FULL BACKING

His Paris otlfice quoted him as saying:

“I do not know how to under- take the task of conducting the business of the state and the na- tion unless these indispensable conditions are given me with frank and broad confidence re- quired for the health of France of the state and of the republic.”

The full powers he seeks would 8lDlDI‘08.|Clh. those of a dictatorship. He wants them to run tor a per- iod to be set by the National As- serdbly.

He did not in accepting

Ooltyls otfer how long he hoped to run the country single-handed. But _he previously had. made known that" he wants the National Assei ‘ally to adjourn for a full year.

It was in an atmosphere heavy with strife that Colty warned par- liament and the nation that only de Gaulle now could save France from war.

Within three hours, the general

sped to the seething capital from his rural home for -the third time in a week. Here he received, and accepted, the chance to head Frances 26th post - war govern- ment. ~

The outcome still depends on the National Assembly.

Fromer president Vincent Aur- lol charged de Gaulle encour- aged sedition in Algiers. That change drew a 62 to 29 endorse- ment from Socialist deputies, a key group needed by de Gaulle in his quest for power.

Auriol, a Socialist elder states- man, made the charge in a letter asking de Gaullels attitude to- ward the military insurrectionists in Algeria and on Corrsica.

This, and a reassuring reply from de Gaulle, were studied by Assembly. The general said his name had been used without his own involvement in Ailiger-ian de- velopmeuts. He pledged re-es|taib- lishment of discipline among the armed forces would be one of his aims.

CAUCUS ADJOURNS

The Socialist party ‘cuaucused a.-gain late Thunsdlay night and ad.- journed until today. Presumably this was to allow socialist leader Guy Mollet time to see Coty and

etermine fully the latest views of de Gaulle. The Socialists said they would not reach a decision until Saturday.

De Gaulle’:s comm»unique said that during his meeting with Goty he had indicated under what con- ditions’ he could assume change of the government “at this de- cisive moment tor the destiny of the nation.”

Pa-rt of his program, de Gaiills said would be relfoiim of the con- stitultion. He said he wguld sub- mit a changed constitution to the country in a referendum. The c-han-ges would notably concern the balance of powers in the ad»- ministration between the Execu- tive and the legislature. and Francefis relations with its over- seas territories.
