Files Answer Iii Poiaio Case

NORFOLK. Va.. Jan. 31 -(AP) -Guy W. Capps Incorporated of Norfolk. today filed an answer to the United States Government's complaint that it imported Can- adian potatoes for planting and then sold them for food.

It asked that the Government's 3150.486 suit against it be dis- missed because "neither the con- stitution nor any statute or law authorizes the institution of this action." It also claims the U. 8. district court where the suit was filed is without. jurisdiction.

The original complaint filed by the Government Jan. 17 claims the Capps firm violated a treaty between Canada and the U. 3. The treaty, the complaint alleges. limits the imports of Canadian potatoes into the U. 8. except for seed purposes.

Capos allegedly contracted with H. B. Willis Incorporated, of Prince Edward Island, for the purchase of 48,544 hundred-pound bags of Irish potatoes in Decem- ber. 1948. The potatoes landed in Florida and sold for table use. the Government charges.

Damages were computed on the basis that U. S. potatoes. would have been bought if the Canad- ian potatoes had not been put on the market.

Heavy Shipments 0i Puipwood From Province

Pulpwood shipments from the Province contln-ue to increase by leaps and bounds according to shipment figures obtained yester- day from the Island Division, Cari- adian National Railways.

177 carioads ofpulpwood were ferried across the Straits from the first of the month until last Sat- urday, January 27. One carload of puipwood contains about 1'7 cords.

Weekly shipment figures show- ed that on the week ending Janu- ary 6, 15 carloads were exported compared to 36 carloads on the week ending Jan. 13; 42 carloeds on the week ending Jan. 21; and 88 carloads on the week ending Jan. 27.

Loading irhis week will be about as heavy as last week. estimated a C.N.R. official. There are a considerable mun-be-r of orders for cars. he reported. but shippers have not been seriously delayed for cars so far.

814. Per Cord

Pul-pwood buyers on the average are reported. to be paying about 314 a. cord for the wood. Most of it is being exported to Quebec by the 25 buyers and sub-buyers op- crating in the Province.

The two recently appointed Pro- vincial foresters reported that there is a large amount of indiscrimin- ate cutting in the Province. They pointed out that this practice would be have to be discontinued or the water.level of the Pro- vince would decline and soil eros- ion would greatly curtail the basic industry of the Province. agricul- ture.

They reported that they had re- ceived numerous applications for advice .on selective cutting prac- ticeslreccntvly. They are mailing out instructions to each lnquirer and will visit each individual wdodlot as soon as possible.

The two foresters. both graduates from the University of New Bruns- wick are Messrs. Frank Gaudet, Miscoudie and Wendell Profitt, Freetown. -They may direct a short course in forestry at the Vocational School IIIILI year.

The general specification. DUI-pwood state that the must be of the spruce and fir Species. The wood should be out in four foot lengths with the mini. mum diameter at the small end four indiies.

Damages Claimed in Accident Case

.

An action for damages amount- ing to 3143.05 by plaintiff Maurice Black. with a. counter-claim of 5330.20 by Percy Down and Rob- ert Down. defendants. is at pres- ent being heard before Justice Mark R. Maoauigan and a Civil Jury at the Supreme Court.

The accident from which the action has arisen took place in Charlottetown last February. An automobile. belonging to Percy Down. and driven by his son Rob- ert, was travelling west on Dor- chester when it collided with a truck belonging to the plaintiff. which had been going north on Union. The truck was driven by William Bradley.

The hearing of the case con- cluded yesterday after addresses to the Jury were made by A. J. 1-Iiislam. counsel for the defence, and F. A. Large. K.C., represent- ing the plaintiff. Mr. Large was assisted by J. A. Bentley. K.C. '

Plaintiff's witnesses heard dur- ing the day were J. Anthony Reardon, Maurice Block. Sgts. S. Webster. Wm. Bradley and James MacKay. Counsel for the defence called Robert Down and Mrs. Russell Down as witnesses.

The case will continue at 11 a. Hi. this morning when the jury will be charged by Mr. Justice MacGuigan.

Members of the jury are John MoMan-us (foreman) , Drake, Donald MacDonald. Owen Callaghan. Finley Drake. Gordon Sheidow and Felix Redmond.

Federal Government. Ontario and Nova. Scolln suggested changes in the wording. other provinces said they would conside the propos- ale

The amendments stem from the Federal-Provincial fiscal confer- ence here last month. The Feder- al Government offered to inaug- urate a contributory old-age pens- ion program if the Provinces would agree to a constitutional amendment. At present, the con- stitution gives the provinces jur- isdiction over contributory social- security measures.

Under the Federal program. pensions of 340 a month would be paid to everyone '10 and over re- gardless of means. The govem- merit also offered to share on a 50-50 bastq with the provinces the cost of 540-a-month pensions to the needy between 66 and 69.

Under the existing system, pensions of mo in month-some provinces pay a bit more-are paid to those 70 and over who can-prove their need. The Fed- eral Government pays 75 per cent of the cost.

At the conference. some of the provinces doubted if they could afford to pay half of the cost of pensions to the needy in the 65- to-69 age group. They asked for permission to impose an indirect sales tax to raise the necessary revenue. -

seine provinces now have a sales tax. These are collected dir- eotly from the consumer by the government and others acting as its attenti- With uin,indircct tax I-he collect- ion could be made from the re- tailer rather than the consumer.
