Planned capital investment, keyiment contrasted with that of

-Prime Minister St. Laurent. who estimated in Toronto Jan. 21 that the capital-investment program for 1057 may rise by 12.5 per cent 1 -about seven per cent in volume and five per cent in prices.

Mr. St. Laurent said then:

"Such an increase of about seven per cent in real terms would greatly intensify the pres- ent shortages and something will .have to ield-either in the com-

petition r funds to finance pro- liects or in the competition for labor and materials to carry them out."

Mr. Howe provided no price-vol- ume breakdown in his survey. but officials estimated the anticipated rise would result from an increase of about six per cent in volume and two per cent in prices.

A two-per-cent price rise is con- sidered fairly normal in an active year. it would not be one leading to any major fears of inflation. Thus it appears there has been some shift in federal thinking dur- ing the last month. Fears of in- flation appear to have abated.

Away From St.

By GERALD FREEMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP - A giant ice field rubbed its should- era against the entrance to St. John's Harbor Sunday and early Monday but retreated under the urgings of a stiff westerly wind. carrying with it the immediate threat of a shipping blockade. As the ice moved offshore the wind churned the blue water bo- hind it into a brisk chop. The northern slob ice extends in a virt- ually unbroken field at least an miles offshore. An ice crust that had formed across St. John's Har- bor during the weekend followed it out to sea. Nearby Conception Bay re mained icebound Monday but also benefitted from west and north- west winds following on the heels of the easterlies that earlier draw: the icefield inshore. Ice was blowing out of Concep- tion Bay Monday. and conditions were improving to the point where resumption of ferry service ne- iween Bell Island and the main- land was expected sometime in- day. During the easterly blizzard Sunday ice rafted 30 feet above the ferry wharf and the far)! Kipawo had to remain at Brigus. her temporary terminal. unable to iakegminers to their Jobs on the island.
