Commons Considers Income Tax Act

UITAWA, May 10 - (OP) - The Commons today plodded through .the complexities of I. Gover ' bill amending the In- come Tax Act. "

In slow committee study of the 48-clause measure, opposition mem- bers urged Finance Minlstcr Ab- bott to have technical provisions of the act drafted in clearer, more understandable language and ad- vanced other improvements they felt could be made.

Mr. Abbott said it had been found necessary. in the light of a year's experience, to make some changes and improvements in the new and revised, income tax law adopted in 1010. The amendments contained few changes involving important questions of principle.

May Bids-I. Railway line To Ease Pressure ,

(By Robert Clarke)

WINNIPEG. May 1B-(CP)-The army got authority tonight to blow a railway line in suburban Fort Garry as a Red River flood-con- trol measure. At the last minute the blast was delayed until tomor- row morning.

Army headquarters in the Lez- lslative Buildings announced at 10.30 p.m. CDT sapperg from Chilli- wack. B.C.. set off two small charges in preparation for the main explosion later.

Earlier at 10:19 p.m. the army issued a statement saying the blast had been set off but this statement was countermanrled within 10 minutes.

Reporters at the scene said that before the postponement there was a discussion between army officers and C.N.R. officials on technical matters relating to the project.

That is only is little more than two feet below the disaster level at which general evacuation of Winnipeg and St. Boniface, Man, across the river. would be immin- ent.

The plan to blast the raised roadbed. in Fort Garry Just south of the Manitoba Sugar Company plant, was made public four hours earlier.

The idea was to let flood water, threatening to crack a six-mile dike protecting a large but spar- sely-settled section of the suburb, run eastward to rejoin the swol- len Red. .

Risk to the important Canadian National Railways yards to, the north would be reduced. railawy engineers said.

Dike Patrolling In Flood

For Timid

WINNIPEG. May 18 -(CP) - Dike patrolling is no job for the squeamish.

It is a lonely, dangerous and highly responsible task, this job of patrolling the miles of sand-bag dikes holding back the rampaging Red River from vital power in- atallations and other sectors of greater Winnipeg..

some 4.000 soldiers at the flood front, who have taken over a. large share of patrolling the dikes at night, are finding that their war- time after-dart: patrol experiences oversees are standing them in good stead.

soldiers and civilian volunteers since walk the dikes hour after hour for 12 hours at a. stretch. hunting for signs of seepage and the tell-tale bulge that warns of a weak spot that may give way causing untold damage and possible loss of life.

Pool Might 31,000 For Winnipeg Relief From P.E.i. Government

in one Vast Armed Force

UONDON. May 18 -(GP) - Twelve Western countries tonight agreed to pool their economic and military might into one vast arm- ed force. centrally directed.

Atlantic Pact Foreign Ministers ended a four-day session with a .'a'.s'-point program designed to speed up Western preparedness and over- take Soviet military might.

They agreed in principle to the American military concept to "con- centrate on the creation of bal- anced collective forces.” This means that each of the 12 count- ries will contribute specific units to the central Western armed force and not try to maintain expensive over-all military establishments.

Set Up Council

The Ministers set up an over-all Council of Deputy Foreign Minist- ers to meet the year round to put the collective security programinto force. This council will have a peoimanent chairrnan who. it is understood. will be an American.

The biggest share of defence costs is expected to be borne by the United States and there are indications the American share will cost more than the sl,000,000,- 000 being given out this year.

Each of the 1.2 countries, how- ever. is committed by the council to bear a share in proportion to its resources.

Outside the pact meetings Can- ada and the United states gave notice that they in-tcndtoshana in Europe's economic problems in

Britain Offers Aid To Flood Victims

' V munch. Mly 18 - (Reu-

ters) - Britain has offered to send drugs, medical service and skilled personnel to help the Winnipeg flood victims. Prime Minister Attlee announ- ced ln the Commons today. He said Britain wishes to show her sympathy for the victims in some practical form.

Record Penalty in Income Tax Case

LONDON. Ont., May 1B-(CP)-- Fines totalling 3138.000 were im- posed today on Taylor Electric Manufacturing Company Ltd., and its president. A. T. Taylor, for falsifying income and excess pro- fits tax returns.

Taylor also was sentenced to six months. His fine was 533.000 or an additional three months. The com- pany was fined 3105.000.

Revenue Department spokesmen in Ottawa said the penalty is ”the heaviest evcr handed down in Can- ada."

Largest single fine for tax evas- ion was 5144.450 levied March 18 against Labcrt and Saul Scharf- stcin of Winnipeg. But the Taylor sentence is conslde sci heavier in view of the jail term.

A 5100.000 fine was imposed April 23 last year on Albert Sun- soucy. Montreal wholesale dry- gocds dealer. for evasion involving 51.000000 in excess profits and in- come lax.

Taylor had pleaded guilty for hlmscif and the company.

A trlbutlon of 51,000 to The Guardian Manitoba Flood Relief Fund was voted by the Provincial Government at a. meeting of the Executive Council yesterday. Pre- mier J. Walter Jones announced last evening.

This handsome contribution to- wards the rehabilitation of the flood victims in Manitoba is in addition to the sum of 8100 con- tributed personally by the mem- bers of the Government. immedi- ately following the opening of the Fund last Monday. Yesterday's cabinet meeting was the first op- portunity the Government had of acting as a body In the matter. and its prompt and generous re- sponse is greatly appreciated.

Bodyiif Alberion Fisherman Found

The body of Russel MacArthur. an Alberton fisherman, was found at low tide about five oiclock yes- terday nfternoon on a sand her about fcur miles south of the en- trance to Alberton harbour. It was at the harbour entrance that a fishing boat containing MacArthur and a companion, Cyril Hutt, was believed to have swamped early Wednesday morning, drowning both men. There were no eye- witnesses to the accident but the upturned boat was spotted there shortly afterwards.

The body was located last even- ing by Clarence Powers and Ken- neth l-lutt. is brother of one of the deceased who were patrolling along the shore in the hope that one or both the bodies might be washed in. No boats were out searching yesterday as the water was too rough but dragging oper- ations will be carried on today if the weather is suitable.
