Report Liberals Consider Possibility Of Federal Election Next Spring

orrawa, Nov. 23 - (CF) ..l Jame Liberal members, formerly in favor of a. general election in thel tail of 1953. now are talking about tile possibility of an election next spring.

Members here for the new ses- ::on of Parliament believe that if .l solid issue can be found Prime iiinister St. Laurent may decide to launch an election in March or May. They admit. however, that he 1.-is not given any indication of a late.

Some hint of government plans may be dropped next week at a ':iucus of Liberal members.

Spring Chances Better?

(inc Liberal said that some of his rollcflglles believe the party's -iirinces at the polls would be bet- lPi' in the spring than in the fall. Fherc were several reasons.

A spring election would catch the ')ppositlon parties less prepared than next fall. Any tax reductions tiiadc bv Finance lilliiiriter Abbott lit his 1953-54 budget would be fresh ill the minds of electors. .

In provinces such as New Bruns- Wick and British Columbia. where liberal Government.s were defeated last summer. the new governments illll not have much time to make niaior changes bv next. spring.

The Federal Liberals believe they ii-:ll he helped rather than harmed my the positions of the new pro- vincial governments. ,

A big question in the minds of some members is how the Canad- ian people would react to an elec- lton shortly bcfoijc the coronation ncxt June.

The coronation was one reason why members first favored an elec- tion in the fall of 1953. possibly viiniday, Oct. 5.

some members now feel that the .-iection could be held as late as my 18 without interfering with plans for the coronation.

Weather conditions lnust be con- szdr-reii in a Mrireli election. In ill-ill. a general election was held Ziiarch 26.

If an election was called for M.-ii-ch. Parliament must be dissolv- rd in January. It takes 60 days to run off an election. If the election is called for May. dissolution could rt-me in March.

May Give Clue

nbsei-vers feel that some clue to tiie election date may be given iilicn and if the government calls it by-election in the British Colum- lm constituency of Victoria. The i-mistltuency became officially vac- ant Nov. 19 as ii result of the ap- itnntment or Hon. Robert Mayhew. lot-nit-r fisheries minister. as Can-

If the government waits until the deadline and then fixes a by-elec- tion foi- late fall the move would be interpreted as an indication that a general election is coming earlier in the fall. A writ for a general election would quash the by-cicc- tion writ. Life of the present Parliament, does not expire until Aug. 25. 1954. The government has until that time to fix an election date.

Slill Awaiting Confirmation Re Airporl Runways

Although there is good reason to believe that the Federal Govern- ment will make provision this year for the extension of the runways at the Charlottetown airport. neither Premier J. Walter Jones nor Mayor J. D. Stewart have re- ceived official word to that effect. As noted in The Guardian of Nov. . an examination by Federal elig- lneers was favorable to the project and the estimates of the DLplll't- merit of Transport, then ready for submission to the Treasury Board. were said to cont:-iiii fin item for an undisclosed amount.

Mayor Stewart said last night that he had written the Minister. Hon. Lionel Chevrier. early this month on the subject. but had not yet received a reply. He and Prem- ier Jones have been actively work- ing to obtain the extension for sev- eral months. and have been strong- ly supported in their presentations by the City Council and Board of Trade. 4

The Premier arrived home yes- terday from attending the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto. He also visited briefly in Ottawa and though the matter of the airport runways was discussed he received

The defeneants who accepted the blame for the present econo- mic crisis were Ludvik Frcjka. for- mer head of Czechosloviikla's state economic commission; Josef Frank former deputy secretary-general of the Communist Party. and Eugen Loebl. one of two former assistant foreign trade ministers on trial. Nine of the defendants now have confessed their guilt in customary Communist fashion. At least one has pleaded to be hang- ed

Among his admissions. Frejka accepted guilt for payment of :18. 000.0(1) for the purchase of a steel mill in the United States, on which the U. S. Government has held up delivery.

Czechoslovakia wants that mill as ransom for the release of As- sociated Press correspondent Wil- liam N. Oatls. But the U. 5. State Department, insists that the dis- position of the mill "is not and will no be connected" with the Oati: negotiations. Oatls is serv- init a 10-year term on charges that he was a U. s. spy. charges the West calls redlculous.

UNESCO Director Quits In Row Over Budget, Spain

PARIS. Nov. 23 - (AP) m Thel United Nations Educational. Scien- tific and Cultural Organization was split wide open Saturday by quarrels over its budget and the admission of Spain to membership

Jaime Torres Bodet resigned as director-general in protest against Unesco's failure to vote all the money he asked for spending in the next two years. Two leading members of the executive board also quit.

These resignations followed a series of walk-outs prompted by the vote last Wednesday to admit Spain, whose government is term- ed a fascist dictatorship by some

member nations. Spain is barred from membership in the United Nations itself.

Torres Bodet. former minister

of education in Mexico, had asked Unesco's seventh annual confer- ence to approve expenditures of s30,400.000 for 1953 and 1954. The delegates balked. and set a ceiling of 518,000,000. The vote was 21!

Britain, Sweden and Australia led the fight against the higher budget. Their delegates contend- ed that Unesco's Paris head- quarters, which employs a staff of 800 and absorbs about 14 per cent of the budget. is top heavy and

could be pruned. The United States, which pays a third of Unesco's costs, voted with the

majority.

Now a 68-nation agency, Unesco proclaims that its primary job is to teach illiterates of the world to read and write and then eval- uate what they learn, lnuch of its emphasis has been on Southeast Asia.

of obscenity involved in the books.

"The language is lewd and filthy. and the actions and habits of the characters in the book are in the same category," he said.

"Iii my opinion." he added. "the. tendency of the book would be to; deprnve and corrupt many of those lnto whose hands it would fall."

Judge McDougall singled out "Tragic Ground" as a pattern on which be based the other judg- ments.

other books involved in the charges were Caldwell's ”Jou1'ney- man", "Women's Barracks". by Toreska Torres and "Diamond Lil” by Mae West.
