OTTAWA (CP)'-Last-ditch oppo- sition to the government's grain loans legislation for prairie farmers produced a flurry of votes and a resurgence of bitter debate Tues- day before the bill received final passage in the Commons.

Press Conference Today Ike's Decision Expected Soon

By WILMOT RERCIIER

WASHINGTON (AP)- President Eisenhower has called a press conference for 10:30 a.m. EST to- day and most reporters here ex- pect it will be the setting for his announcement on whether or not he'll seek a second term.

After the white house announce- ment press secretary James C. Ha-

thing humanly possible was being done to serve as much of the area as possible in the shortest possible time.

The Department has increased

its snow fighting equipment to the point that it now has 50 plows, in- cluding 25 motor graders. ll Wal- ters plows and 14 tractors. In addi- tion to this, the Department has, this winter, used as many as nine tractors of various contracting firms. - Mr. Maclfay had something to say about the difficulty met with by the department in its road wid- ening. He explained that everyone was glad to see the road being widened but invariably there would be complaints from some who thought they had received proper- ty damage.

He made it clear that the De- partment had a regulated scale of compensation for damage incurred to property and in all cases where the request was reasonable it was met. He stated that where a fence had to be removed in a widening process, the farmer was given a stipulated amount which would en- able hlm to replace it with a new fence, regardlus of the condition

That the Department ot;';High- ways expects to have all of the roads in the '-Province completely standardized by 1957 was report- ed by Hon. J. George Macl(ay. Minister of Highways in his speech on the Draft Address yesterday. This did not include D roads, he said.

The Minlstr: said that the pro gram of widening, subgrading and shaling has been costing the Gov- ernment about a million and a half dollars a year and he could foresee the greater advancement of the program in another direc- tion wheu the Department was re lieved of this annual burden.

In spite of the large annual ex- penditure in this direction, Mr. MacKay pointed out that the work was being accomplished much cheaper than it was 10 years ago. At that time the cost was :10,- 000 per mile. During 1955 the cost a little less than
