The announcement that A plan had been drafted by which the Provincial Government would so- ceptnn additional 015.000 from Ottawa. was made in the Legisla- ture on Thursday night by Hon. B. Earls MacDonald. Minister of Health and Welfare.

The grant will be termed the Child and Maternal Grant and the money will be spent in two ways. Part of the $15,000 will be used for educational purposes and the remainder for improving the equipment in the maternity wards. The Minister also discussed the possibilities of accepting a further laboratory and x-ray services grant and a medical rehabilitation grant. He stted that unless the Do- minion Government was willing to recognize the fact that the De- partment has a Rehabilitation Centre sat up in the Sanstorium it was not‘ the intention of the Province to acoept anything under the Rehabilitation Grant.

"I believe that the time has come when this Government must take under careful study the of- fer of the Federal grants on a matching basis," he stated.

Pinancss Insufficient

“In the first place. the finances of the Provincs are insufficient to support the increased expenditures required under such a scheme. and secondly, I do not think that we require i further expansion, but rather an improvement in our present services.

"The Federal Health authorities have already recognised the fact that in a small province such as ours. the per cspita. cost of op- erating any service must always be considerably in excess of that required to produce the same ser- vice in the larger provinces. "This is obvious when one con- siders that once the initial set-up for a service has been completed. a very small increase in personnel would suffice to serve three or four times the population. This inequality between the provinces has been partly compensated for

NEW YORK. (AP) —- The old International Longshoremen's As- sociation ilnd.) caved in under ex- treme pressure Friday and called a halt to the longest waterfront strike in New York's history, It was in its Nth day.

"The strike is over and the men will go back to work tomorow (Saturday) morning. " the union announced late Friday sitemoon

Probably never before in the modern American era. oi labor re- lations was a single union under such fierce atack by local, state and federal governments.

A few hours before the end came. the State Supreme Court or- dered the strike halted. At the same time, a federal judge banned any more picketing on New Jersey piers.

The twin blows—atnp Thursday's tough back - to - work ultimatum from the National Labor Relations Board in W_ashinglon—backed the ILA against the wall.

its top leaders went into confer- ence. They didn't even wait for the meeting to end before an- nouncing that the strike was over.

Rumors already had swept the .crippled 350 miles of piers that strikers were in revolt against their leaders and clamoring for a return to work. They lost millions in wages and cost shippers S29,- 000.0()0 in losses since they walked out March 5 in a demand for im- mediate bargaining rights.

The Commons Friday voted 35 to is against an amendment to the revised criminal code proposed by Davie Fulton (PC—KamioopsI. The amendment would have made pub- lishers of crime comics and obscene

literature liable in n fivc—ycai' prison term or a minimum fine of 510.000.

The amendment was opposed bv Lidorals and three members of ihe Social Credit party. F. D. Shaw. Red Deer. A. B. Patterson. l-Yaser Valley and George McLeod. Okan- agan-Rcvelstoke. It was supported by all other opposition ‘ - in the House at the time of the vote. Mr. Fulton originally proposed a five-year prison term for the pub- lisher, if he is an individual. and a $25,000 fine if the publisher is a corporation. He modified his W0- posal Friday and proposed a min- imum fine of $10,000. The law at present provides a. maximum prison term of two years for publishers and distributors if they are in- dividuals and an unlimited fine in the case of corporations.

"I think it is a grave mistake for us in this Province to be for- ever talking about the trade with Newfoundland as though we had a monopoly on it," stated Hon. Eugene Cullon, Minister of Indus- try and Natural Resources in speaking on the Budget debate in the Legislature on Thursday night.

"I think the people in New- foundland resent the fact that we are always shouting about our of- forts to get their markets. Just imagine how we would feel if the people in Nova Scotia. started do- ing the same thing with us.

"The Newfoundland market is very competitive just like ‘any other market and we have to com- pete with the other Provinces to get it. in dairy cattle our chief competition comes frcm Ontario and in beef our competition is iiom the Western Provinces."

"We are a lot handler," stated Mr. R. R. Bell. leader of the Op- position. '
