OTTAWA: ~(CP)—The— govern. ment’s plan to establish a live- stock feed, board won general support in the Commons Fri- day, though opposition spokes- men_ pointed to ‘possible compll- cations.

The measure was given sec- ond reading—approval in: pritiei- ple—without a formal vote and passed into the committee stage »for clause-by-clause study.

The board is to take over and administer a plan, introduced during the’ Second World War, under which Ottawa subsidizes shipment of - feed: grains from Prairie farms: to livestock feed-

ers in Eastern Canada and_Brit- ish Columbia.

Angus MaeLean (PC — 4+Queens), fisheries minister in the ‘former Conservative gov- ernment, said that while not op- posing the government’s bill categorically, more benefits

could be given to farmers out- side the Prairie provinces by other policies.

In the Maritimes, Mr.
