OTTAWA ‘CP) — The gpvern-

foiled the try with a constitu- tional point.
The situation arose when Fi- mance Minister Fleming put for- ‘ward a motion accepting a sen- ate amendment to the Income Tax Act but emphasizing this was not to be taken as a prece- e@ent.- -. on The Commons earlier had .ap- “proved government changes in the act includ oe affecting the official.statis’ -f foreign com- panies.

Speaker Roland Michener cited a Commons rule that says all money bills “are the sgle gift of the House of Commons’ ,and must begin in the lower House. They ‘“‘are not alterable by the Senate,” the rule says. REGRETTABLE PRACTICE
At one point Mr. Argue said that if the Senate—made up ‘of appointed’: members — continues in future in “this very regrettable practice” the Commons — whose members are elected by the pea pie—should consider how it ¢can make certain that its rights uver money legislation are not “usurped” bythe upper—House-

Monopo y

The matter is expected to be raised-*when the estimates of Revenue Minister Nowlan, who reports to Parliament on broad- casting. matters, come before the Commons. No day for this has been fixed ag the House is driv- ing for an end to the session Sat- urday.
Speculation in some official quarters is that ahy change in the single-service TV policy will be announced only after the ses- sion.
Informants said that the gev- ernment has reached no decision. Any change in policy can be made through a cabinet decision and does not require legislative action.
If a decision is “announced by the end of the month, it is un- likely that any second stations will be licensed before the new years.
Mr. Nowlan has said before the Commons broadcasting commit- tee that the time is rapidly ap-| proaching for a change in policy and that. he’ expects second sta- tions to be in operation next year.
First cities. to receive second service are likely to be the six now served exclusively by the CBC: Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancou- ver.
How the applications for second licences are to be dealt with will depand on the Board of Broad- cast Governors.
The present policy of licensing only one TV station in any given area ‘was adopted by the former Liberal administration when the new broadcasting medium started in Canada in 1952.

Setting the starting time back on hour — from 1:00 p.m. ‘to 2:00 p.m. — was decided ‘by the workers themselves as a means of protesting the company’s de- lay in signing a new working agreement, he said.
The decision to postpone the normal starting time one hour was taken without .the prior knowledge of the union executive, Mr. MacKinnon said.
