passing of the estima-

tes early Saturday morning thatflie had made such a statement .but the Opposition member made ‘

for all” a matter which has been a “bone of contention" since 1956. The subject referred to by the

was given in 1956 during a clos-

ed session of the House. The in-

crease was refused by the three P.C. members of the Legislature

last spring.

MOVES DELETION

This year when the account was again included in the estimates, Dr. L. G. Dewar (P. C. - 2nd Prince) moved tha-t the item be deleted.

Hon. Mr. MacKinnon said, “One

-thing I don't like is dishonesty in

the spending of public funds. I would therefore like to make it

clear how this increase in travel- ling expenses came about.”

“For some time,” he said, "there has been a movement among the private members to have their travelling expenses raised. They pointed out that with the demands that are placed up- on them and the expense of op- erating a car from one end of their district to the other, along with numerous trips to Charlotte- town, they could not meet the costs involved."

RECEIVED SUPPORT

He went on to tell that when Opposition members were ap- proached in regard" to the in-

their plans. He recalled the words of one of the P.C. members of the contingent committee who said he was very much in favor of the move adding, “It is long over- due.”

At this point Mr. MacKinnon challenged the Opposition mem-

I am sorry. However I can be nothing in this but a cheap politi- cal trick on the part of the Op- position. It's rotten and deceptive and I would be ashmed to be a part of it”.

He said it was an easy matter for Dr. Dewar to move the dele- tion of the item. He said his sit- uation was quite different from those of other private members in that he saw his constituents “practically every day of the week” in the course of his pro- fessional duties.

ROSSITER REPLIES

Mr. Rossiter in reply to the Minister’s charge stated that while serving on the contigent committee in 1956, the Premier and the Provincial Secretary came into the room where the committee was meeting and the Premier directing his remarks to Russell Clark, chairman of the committee said “Put that in, it’s got to go in.”

Premier Matheson hotly denied Saying any such words and fur- ther stated that he was not in the room where the meeting had tak- en place.

After a sharp exchange between

After further consultation, Mir. Acorn said, -the amount of $450 was proposed. This time Dewar was still opposed Rossiter was strongly in favor of it and R.R. Bell agreed to putting it through.

The records show that all Con- servative members accepted the raise in 1956 but Dr. Dewar through a public announcement later said he had given his $450 to charity. » POURS OIL

Hon. B. Earle MacDonald who was promoting this section of the estimates reminded the members that’“Little was to be gained by making unkind remarks about each other.” He said the item was inthe estimates now and the best thing to do was forget about it.

University May Have To Lower Stciff Standards

EDMONTON (OP) — The Uni- versity of Alberta soon will be forced to lower faculty standards to obtain staff, Vice—President Dr. W. H. Johns said Saturday.’ Difficulty in obtaining qualifiedl personnel has resulted from com- petition from private industry and from United States univer- sities, -he said in a statement. “The problem is not too seri- ous as yet and there is not much change in standards for t-his year,” Dr. Johns said. “How- ever, the pressure will become heavier within the nex-t year or two." Most pressure is in mathemat- ics, the pre-clinical or basic sci- ences, and in experimental phys- ics. For example, it is difficult for the university to obtain qual- ified physiologists and bacteriol-

We recommend that the De- partment of Agriculture promote the erection of a modern potato starch factory, as a means for disposing of diseaised potatoes, and reducing surpluses when- necessary.

_Harvey Douglas (Liberal 2nd. Kings) suggested that any grow- er who would not co-operate with the Department in keeping dis- ease down should be denied the privilege of growing potatoes for at_least one year. He noted that disease dies with the frost and if there was a year’s lapse in growing, the threat for such an individual farm would be elimin- ated.

HALIFAX (CP) _ A hos.pita‘1 tax to pay for Nova Scotia’s participation in the national hos- pital insurance plan was recom-

mended Friday in a bulky 1'9- port, tabled in the legislature. irhe 100-page report of the Nova Scotia hospital services commission discarded four other methods of financing the plan’ in favor of a three per cent hospital tax on non-essential items. It would exclude taxes on food, clothing, school books, prescrip- tion drugs, some types of fuel and other goods. The levy might include special higher rate hos- pital taxes on luxuries such as liquor and tobacco.

No provision was made for a tax in the budget tabled Wednes- llay, but Premier Stanfield men- tioned "more tax revenue” as 3 means of absorbing the extra cost. . 'In studying Ways Of lfnlple‘ menting hospital insurance in-the

rovince, the commission. headed by R. MacDonald Black, 88. of Halifax, heard briefs from

grams, and over'- crowding ill nurses’ residences. THREATENS PLAN

It noted that the shortage of hospital beds — almost entirely uncontrolled — threatens to ad- versely affect the whole plan. Cost of constructing 2.239 new beds needed under the plan is estimated at $20,000,000 discount- mg . $5,000,000 federal grant. The number of professional and technical personnel is_ “signifi- cantly below the required le-v- els.” There are 74 registered x-ray technicians in the PI‘0Vlt1?° now, but 102 will be needed in 1965. The report warns “50 Del‘ cent more . . . should be avari- able when the plan is initiate ." In nurses’ residences, over- crowding has reached a staae where in some instancesthere are five or six to ‘a room. Th: report says a minimum of 45

No serious shortage is antici- pated in nursing services. Esti- mated nursing service per pa- tient now is 3.5 hours a day. Present nursing staff of 1,658 is about 231 below the number re- quired.

The report made these observ- ations. , . _ 1. The report does not reflect all the study and research that the commission carried out. . 2. The proposed plan, While not solving all financial prob- lems'of hospitals, would provide material relief. _ 3. There is a need for contin- uing and even increased support of hospitals by voluntary groups. 4. Many patients must pay heavy and sometimes catas- trophic hospital bills.

5. A measure of local S_0Ve1'n' ment responsibility is desirable.

Your committee views with

alarm the incidence of disease in our potatoes in certain areas, and deplores the fact that some growers are apparently assuming an indifferent attitude towards the eradication of these diseases, that could cause severe curtail- ment in our seed production.

We feel that a general inspec-

tion of all potato fields is indica- ted, and that the provisions of The Disease Eradication Act be adhered to. We fully realize that‘ no positive guarantee of freedom from disease can be given, but we do believe that planting seed from a reliable source is much safer than purchasing culls, or using some other source of cheap seed. ‘
