Most Offensive Feature

The most "offensive" feature. said Mr. Winters was the tax-free bond proposal. enabling wealthy people to buy bonds and avoid taxation and violating the demo- cratic principle of tax-burden dis- tribution.

Touching on government policy, Mr. Winters said:

1. Changes may be made to the National Housing Act to encourlae slum clearance. it was learned outside the com- mittee that this may be done at the next session of parlia- ment.

2. The government would like to see sreater use made of all sections of the housing leg- islation. Housing start; this year likely will run to about 00.000 units. Canada could boost that umber by 10,000 without fear of inflation.

3. Houses completed may to- tal 73,000 this year. down from 84.N0 in 1051. . if a municipality wants a federal

slum-clearance grant, it must undertake to sell the cleared land to a life insurance or limited- dividend company for N.H.A. housing. - Mr. whiten indicated the sec- tion may be amended allowing sale 0i Willi 11114 by a municipality to joint federal-provincial housing schemes. Amendment also may be made to allow new housing pro- iects to be located at some point other than the urn-cleared area. The set specifi the'new plojeet must be loceustonlthe old site. '

Hon. Mr.-Winters Is Annoyed By Criticism

Oll"l'AWA. June it -(OP) - Tempers flared today in the Com- mons during a debate on Canadais rnulti-million-dollar tourist in- duetry.

J. W. Murphy (P0-Lembton West) said Canada is not getting value for the si.ooo.ooo spent by the federal government annually on tourist advertising in the Unit-

ed States. Resourcu Minister Winters. whose department includes the

Bureau. retorted that Mr. Murphy had made a speech that was "un- constructive, unfair and inaocu - etc."

The speech contributed "exactly nothing" to the solution oi Cen- ada's todrist-trade problems and showed that Mr. Murphy "knows lexectly nothing about the prob- em."

Claims More Tourists

Mr. Winters said more United States tourists came to Canada in 1951 than in any year in history. He did not give figures. They spent S2'l0,000,00o while in Canada, a de- crease from some previous years. However. the Canadian Travel Bureau could hardly be blamed because American tourists had spent less.

The display of temper by the usually mild-mannered Mr. Wint- ers wes commented on by George Nowlan (PC-Annapolis-Kings).

"It hardly reflects the usual genial manner of the Minister when he says that a member con- tributes nothing to a debate, or that he knows nothing about a problem." said Mr. Nowlan. .

Ternpersi Flare In Debate On Tourist Industry

Potatoes. which had scared to record heights in recent months, took a sudden drop in this Pro- vince yesterday which ranged from 50 to 75 cents per bag. While there was no particular reason for the drop it is believ- ed that several factors entered into the sensational decline.

Early this week the 75-pound bags had reached nearly 56.00. an

all-iimc high for local produc- tion. . The factors causing the drop

were believed to be a slight ac- cumulation due to a number-of cars piling up for shipment and the entry into the market of

It usually look 10 days to kill a man by beating. he said. His owri arms and legs were scarred and swollen and doctors said his kid- neys had been injured.

OTTAWA. June 5 -(CP)- The Canadian Government was urged today to save the home in Grand- pre, N.s., where sir Robert Bor- den, Cenada's prime minister dur- ing the First World war. was born.

George Nowlan (PC-Annapolim King's) said the home is the only one remaining of those built by Americans who came to Canada after the” Acadiansl were expelled by the British. i

Mr. Nowlan added:

"That home was sold is short time ago for urpoaes which cer- tainly will not e maintained much longer.

"If a house like that were in ex- istance in the United States it would be marked by flagpolea for 10 miles on either side and signs telling you that you were appro- aching a historic site and you should take off your hat and walk reverentiy.

"This house is hidden in the bushes and is starting to fell down.
