By FRANK I-‘LAIIERTY OTTAWA, Jan. 29 —- (OP) ~- A Federal election will be called before April 17. when tile life nf Parliament expires, Prime Min- l-stor Mackenzie King said tonight in a stateme ‘ in which he indi- cated the Feb. 5 Grey Nortll by- election will go on as scheduled.

However, his 200-word state-

ment, addressed to electors of the Ontario riding, left tvN big uncertainties to be clari- fied before the Federal political situation assumes ' sta- bllity.

They are: 1. Whether a sixth

session of tile present Parliament will be held; 2. The date oi the forthcoming general election.
