TIMING
(Continued from page one)
Mr. Matheson asked: “Will you then say these men commit- ted perjury"?
Mr. Rossitor: “I will."
Hon. Hubert Mchill, minister ‘of health. who was not a mem- ber of the 1956 Legislature. said: “La-st time I did not know what Was going on and neither did two percent of the people. At least if we go down to defeat on this or any other issue it will be because we were above- board about our dealings."
Mr. Matheson told government members: “You didn't lmow what you were doing."
Premier Walter R. Shaw main- tained there had been only one man in history who was perfect "until the Leader of the 0p- position appeared."
HAD OPPORTUNITY
He said members of the Op- position had an opportunity Fri- day night to vote against the in- creases while the estimates were before them, but they did not. “ ey want the mone "
He said the work of members was a great deal heavier than
‘ln the horse and buggy days’. and remarked, “if members said what is within them they would agree it (the increase) is need-
Mr. Matheson rose again to say the Premier had compared him with the only perfect man in history but “I am not perfect and I admit it. You think you are the acme of everything that is good and right . . .". The rest of his remarks were lost in a chorus of shouts from the government benches as the Pie mier rose to protest what be ap- parently had not clearly heard. To the PreSS Gallery it appear- ed the Premier had misunder- stood t e words used. Later Premier Shaw visited the gal- lei-y to say he resented remarks which “downgraded me“.
Mr. Matheson earlier had
n a "serious misconception
by the newspapers" of the vot- ing on the estimates the night before. However. he said he did not blame the reportens as there
ere man r rs of the House who did not fully under- stand either.
He said the increases had not been given in the estimates. “this is the operative act and it was wrongly brought in. It should have been produced be- fore the estimates."
NOT WELL RECEIVED
The Liberal leader said “if the government had come out with a surplus and then a new sales and gas tax the increase would be OK; but under present conditions it will not be well received. I feel it is wrong to bring this in now with a deficit."
vote against it.”
Premier Shaw retorted: "The Opposition voted for the approp- riation and now try to make political capital out of it. I don't like that kind of doubledealing. chairman called for the standing vote the bill pas-
sed 14 to 6 with the five other Liberals in the Housa at the time standing with Mr. Mathe- son.

All available RCMP. with steel helmets, clubs, dogs, and automatic weapons to supple- ment their sldearms, converged on the prison, filing up to the cell block line after line.
