13 The Guardian Gov't Agrees Death Benefits Scheme Optimal

OTTAWA (OP) — The govern- ment has agreed to make optional an insurance scheme that would provide a maximum of $5.000 death benefits for civil servants and members of the armed forces.

K. W. Taylor. deputy finance minister. told a Senate committee Wednesday of the government's decision which follows considerable criticism in Parliament and by civil service associations of com- pulsory and other features of the plan.

Representatives of three civil service organizations told the com- Iriittea that the decision to make the scheme optional meets their objection: in part but. more time Ihould be given to study the plan

affecting about 120,000 civil ser- vants and about iO5,000 service- men.

Mr. Taylor said that the govern- ment would be ulllllig to make the scheme optional provided no more than 25 per cent of those affected remain outside the plan. It would be dropped if more stay out.

A 90-day period would be given for civil servants and servicemen to make l.”i€'ll‘ dtuisioiis. The scheme would not come into effect until after Jan. 1, 1955

Eden Calls For Non-Aggression Pact In Asia

By FRASER WIGHTON

LONDON (Reuters) — Foreign Secretary Eden called Wednesday for a Southeast Asia non-aggres- sion pact and warned against mil- iiary moves likely to upset Indo- Cliina peace talks at Geneva.

He made his statements in open- ing a House of Commons foreign policy debate barely 24 hours be- fore he and Prime Minister Chur- chill fly to Washington for talks with President Eisenhower.

Eden said he still saw “a chance —and I do not put it higher than that"—-that the drawn-out Geneva

Eaton Company Acquires Fillroy Street Properties

Three properties on l'itII'0)’ Street have been acquired by The T. Eaton Company at the rear of their new buildins under construc- tlou.

They are the properties of Mrs. Augustus Large, 120 Fitsroyz Mr. John Macxay. 130 Fitzroy and Mrs. Georgina Doyle, 136 Fitzroy. The buildings on these sites will event- ually be demolished to make room for a parking area which Estons will have at the rear of the store.

In the meantime construction on the new Eaton building is well up to schedule. All of the 450 tons of structural steel has been placed and a small portion of this remains to be welded into position. About thirty men, including carpenters. steel workers and plumbers. are at present engaged on the job. It is not expected that the peak em- ployment will exceed fifty men.

"It will be the nicest store that Eatons will have" said Mr. W. L. Coffey. general superintendent of the job for Anglin Norcross. Mari-

time Iid. “They may have bigger ones but they will have none nicer."

A feature of the new store will bc one single window running the en- tire length of the front with no up- right support. This is made possible by the cantilever construction at the front of the building. The en- trance will be only six inches above the level of the sidewalk.

The basement will have a terazzo floor as will the forward portion of the main floor. The rear of the main floor, which is at a slightly higher level, will be covered with linoleum. The meaannlne floor is to have a covering of deep carpet.

I can make any contribution to peace."

“It should be clear to all that hopes of an agreement will be leopardized if active operations in Indo-China were to be intensified while negotiations for an armistice are proceeding." he said. “If this reminder is needed. I hope it may be heeded."

At the same time. Eden urged that the Southeast Asian alliance system favored by U.S. diplomats.

negotiations will finally find a solution for Southeast Asian peace. He said he is ready to return to the conference “if by doing this
