COMMONS APPROVES COMMITTEE TO STUDY PRICE-FIXIN G

Tighter Discipline

Maritime Members Watc;

Freight Rates

OTTAWA. Nov. 6-(Speclal)- xi-rr-ltinre members of the. Com- ,.- headed by J. Watson Mac- ; hr, parliamentary assistant in Fisheries Minister Msyhew and Liberal member for Prince. mzlny began a rearguard action in prevent possible whlttling down by legislation of the courts ,,( any provisions of'0he Maritime Freight Rates Act.

The skirmish began in the special Railways Committee of the Commons set up last week to

uudy equalization of freight lures across the country. When the committee session opened

under chairman Hughes Cleaver. munscl for the Canadian Pacific Railway asked to have his brief nrv-npitltl by the committee now -mi drier argument until mem- got into full study of athe luii.

Nir. MacNaught insisted that ihe CPR brief and suggested am- :-ndmcnt be heard immediately so Ih'Ii members could study it and unsirier its possible impact on

freight rates before they came to study of the bill. In this way they could visualize its future effects. he sbid.

Maritime members of the com- mittee are relying on section 3' of the Maritime Freight Rates Act which sets forth that freight rates in the Maritimes may not be increased. except to meet in- creases in operating costs. They are fully aware however that un- less vigilance is exercised, this seemingly solid bulwark may be weakened.

Recently. a C.P.R. amendment which would tend to impair this section was presented before the Board of Transport Commission- ers. The amendment was reject- cd but in its very presentation and in the possibility of an ap- peaL being made to the Supreme Court of Canada, members from the East Coast Provinces see a threat to the permanence of the act.

This afternoon. the committee discussed the effect of the C. P.

R.'s position on competitive freight rates. ,

Police Head Speaks Al Anniversary

MOSCOW, Nov. 6-(AP)-Law renty P. Berla of the Politburo delivered the principal address to- day marking the Russian revolu- tions 34th anniversary. and is- sued a. call for increased produc- tlon and stricter state discipline.

(Berta. one of the most power- ful men in the Politburo. is the boss of the Soviet secret police. He is also reported to be con- nected with the Soviet Union's atomic energy program. He has only the office of vice-premier although he still apparently holds the reins of the Internal Affairs Ministry which controls the sec- ret police.)

Deputy Prime Minister Nicolai Buganin delivered the revolution speech a year ago. and the year

before Politburo member Georgi Mnicnkov delivered it. In 1947 and 1948 Vice-Premier V. M.

Molotov was the speaker for the occasion. climax of the revolution anniversary festivities. The speech is delivered in the Bolshoi Theatre in the presence of top Soviet lcadcrs.

Dweils On Shortcomirigs Beria's speech dwelt heavily on

"shortcomings" on the production line at home. He called for in-

creased production and stricter state discipline.

He promised the people more noods and foodstuffs. despite "shortcomings of certain plants which, because of bad organiz-

ation and inefficient utilization of their up-to-date machinery. are not fulflllinr: their programs."

Berin blamed "executives of these plants who apparenliy want in make their work easier by turning out wares which require less effort and trouble."

"In our socialist economy every executlve. be his job a big one or a small one. must place the interests of the state above all

else and strictly observe state discipline," Bcrin said.

"The sectarian outlook which is still to he observed among

some of our business executives and which is detrimental to the intcrests of our planned economy must be discarded once for all."

Prince Philip Just Another Sailor.

SAINT JOHN. N. 13., Nov. 6- (CP)--Royalty is not always recognized. Take the case of Al- bert Ansell. a First Great war veteran.

A tall, blonde young man talked to him for two minutes at Lan- caster Military Hospital tonight and asked him all about his war service. Angeli. in turn. inquired what the stranger had done. The latter before moving away, said he was in the navy.

Angeli then asked the hospital superintendent, Dr. C. O. McKayc

"When's the Prince coming?

Dr. McKay: "You were just talking to him." Angeli, startled: "You

mean that tall young fellow?" - It was Prince Philip. all right.

MUNSAN. Korea, Nov. 7 - (Wcdnesdsy)-(AP) - The Unit.- ed Nations command today refus- ed to consider what it regarded as a trick communist proposs: to call off the fighting in Korea immediately without providing for the exchange of prisoners or sup- ervision of an armistice.

Allies Refuse To Fall For Red Truce Plans

Brig. Gen. William P. Nuokols. blasted the Red plsn us one that would give the Communists "all the advantages of an armistice without actually having one."

This is what the Allies saw when they examined the Red plsn closely:

1. It would put Communist armies beyond reach of Allied guns and permit the Reds to build up their forces for possible future assault.

2. It would provids' for no im- modiste policing of tho cease-fire zone to prevent violations and in- cldentl.

3. It would make no provision for the rlturn of soldiers now held prisoner by both sides.

4. It would make any fuurro st- tack southward by Red forccs merely an act. of bad faith. and

not a violation of any formal agreement. Previously the Allies had pro-

ihst a permanent sub-con1- mitteo take up the cone-firs line while the main negotiators went on to other agenda items. These issues include the exchange of prisoners. supervision of the urn- tstice by neutral teams and recom-

mendations for ultimate with- drawal of foreign troops from Korea.

A foot of snow fell here by noon today, making it the city's worst snowstorm in 39 years. Snow continued to fall through- out most of the afternoon. but the Weather Bureau noted it. as negligible and retained its 12-inch reading as the official recording. -

The unexpected storm offered evidence of the vulnerability of a modern. mechanized city to nature's tantrums. The traffic situation here was almost im- possible. Thousands of persons were hours late to work or didn't get there at all.

The slippery streets were filled with stalled csrs. buses and trucks. Even walking was difficult.

As the two-day debate drew to a close. Mr. Ga-rson explained why the government was not gain: a- head with legislation now. but in- stead was setting up the commit- tee.

Besieged By Business Men

He told the house that since the! government made known in the: Speech from the Throne of itsl intentions to act against resale price maintenance he had been besieged by large and small busi- ness men to delay action until they could be heard before the ”bar of public opinion."

He had received representations. he said from the 'Ontario and Canadian Pharmaceutical Associ- ations and the Canadian Manu- facturers Association. 1-loweyer. the biggest. part of the appeal did not come from these organizations but from the small retail dealer.

Some had stated.l.hat the change in practice. which would be brought about by the government's proposed legislation, would ruin their business. it was decided by the government to accede to the requests.

If there was any lobbying. said Mr. Garson. he would rather see it done in the open before it com- miitec at which the public and the press would be present. than before cabinet ministers in pri- vate.

Churchill Pledges ..

(By Alan Harvey) LONDON. Nov. 6-(CP)-Win-

ston Churchill today promised the British people a "full and frank" statement on economic

difficulties which he said could lead to national bankruptcy. Presiding for the first time as Prime Minister in a peacetime parliament, the Conservative leader told the House of Com-

mons at the formal opening of the new session that Britain's third financial crisis is worse than the devaluation crisis of 1949 and in many ways worse than the convertibility crisis of 1947.

After promising to present the facts plainly to the people.

Churchill sketched the broad de- tails of the present crisis and said:

”These figures mean in short that we are buying much more than we can afford to pay for from current. earnings and this can only lead to national bank- ruptcy."

Secret Session On P '

Plunging into debate on the first day of what will almost certainly be regarded as an his- toric scssion. Churchill also an- nounced a secret session on de- fence before the Commons rises. said the government will not start the process of "unscramb- ling" the nationalization of the iron and steel industry before Christmas. and promised that the controversial question of the uni- versliy franchise will be left to the end of this parliament's life-
