COMPANY OFFERS

The auto company offered an improved costqof-living allowance of three cents an hour retroactive to Sept. 1 and an improvement factor of seven cents going back to the same date. '

The union which had asked that cost - of - living and improvement factor allowances be retroactive to June 1, the date its contract with Ford ran out.

Ford Offered nine cents hourly for the period July 1 to Sept. 1 and 10 cents from that date on.

Reuth-er, Who by agreement with Ford held a press confer- ence before Ford officials gave their views on the contract, tenrned the pact “‘a very fine doc- ument” and sound collective bar.- gaining.

Cabinet Seen Unlikely ‘

lo Kill Rail

By JOHN LELANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (GP) — The cabinet will not disallow a Elmer—cent freight rate increase sought by the railways if the board of trans- port. commissioners grant-s it, highly - placed informants said Wednesday.

The railways Wednesday asked the commissioners for this im- mediate increase to cover the cost of a contract settlement with un- nions. They also asked the board for an increase of: an unspecified amount, to take effect later.

The last boost the railways were given authorization for by the transport board—3.6 per cent— was killed by the cabinet in late April.

A taxation issue was involved in that case. This time, the nail- ways are seeking for the moment just about enough to cover addi- tion-a-l wage co st 3 of around $65,000,000 a year.

Information Wednesday was that the board probably will grant the 19-peruceut boost, ef- fective perhaps about Nov. 1. Hearings are due to start Oct. 6.

Key Issue At UN ls , Held Over

By LLOYD fi-McDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP) Red, China’s admission to the United Nations was not pressed to debate Wednesday in the UN Assembly’s steering committee, amid indications that the United States was behind the postpone- ‘ ment. ,,

The steering committee, a 21- member body which recommends to the Assembly the makeup of its agenda in the coming weeks of debate, had been expected to vote at the outset on whether to inscribe Peiping’s admission as an issue for the Assembly. But Assembly P r e 5 id e n t Charles Malik' told theeommittee that one of its members had asked that the item be held off until some time Thursday.

With no objection recorded, the committee then passed a long list of questions for in-clusion‘on the Assenuoly agenda, but left in the air the key issue overhanging this new 13th meeting of the UN's par—- liamentary body. '

NOT MORE THAN

, By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (C‘P) -—- With a

showman’s sense of tir'nin , Brit-

ain Wednesday opened her doors

wide to C a n a d i a n newsprint, salmon a nd machinery, and hintedrthat restrictions on such things as pots and pans, clothing and other consumer goods may soon be lifted.

In an announcement that trans- formed the atmosphere at the Commonwealth trade and eco- nomic conference, Britain's Sir David Eccles proclaimed “almost a clean sweep” of controls on dol- lar imports of industrial, agricul- tural and office jmachinery.

The next move, he said, will be to free imports of consumer goods and any ’foodstuffs still banned from the United Kingdom.

Sir David, president of the» board of trade, a British govern- ment department, gave the per- haps equally significant word that colonial governments are being "invited" to relax restrictions on a wide range of dollar goods.

Some colonial restrictions are tighter than those applying in Britain.

MINOR SENSATION

Sir David’s statement, following so closely on earlier United King- dom pronouncements indicating an almost tremudous British 'ap- proach to trade liberation, caused a minor sensation among dele. gates on this third day of the two- week commonwealth trade meet-

‘lllfégest since 1932. ' ‘

Can-ads, chairman .of the confer- encé;‘pronlptly called it 5 “states- manlike stroke." Only Tuesday Mr. ""lemi-ng had appeared to re- buke Britain as he forcefully called for complete convertibility. Economic (experts made these general ,reflections on the start- ling British move:

1. The statement will have a tonic effect on Commonwealth trade. Australia and other ster- ling-area countries will presum~ ably follow the British lead by emoving their own curbs on- dol- ars imports.
