“The changes proposed are plan- ned to tap the resources of in- terested and available personnel so as to provide the best basis for the build-up of forces that may be required in the second or later stages of another world WIT’. e -

POSSIBLE REDUCTION!

"it is expected that at the out- set these changes may result in some reductions in the total num- ber of officers and men on strength. But it is expected that they will result in more effective use of personnel.

“It is hoped to work out all these changes so that there will be as few as possible actual dis- bandments and no loss of exist- ing support or local interest."

Mr. Claxton said the reorgani- zation is bascd on .the report of three reserve force ma_ior-gener- als, Howard Kennedy of Ottawa. E. J. Renaud of Montreal and H. 1-‘. G. Letson of Vsncciuvcr. Maj- Gen. Letson is to he adviser in militia matters to the chief of the general staff.

The army. announcing it had learned of his death. said it had not been told the cause but be- lieved it. was from a heart attack.

Gen. Keller, known during his boyhood in Kelowna. B. C.. as “Rod." commanded the 8rd Cana- dian division when the invasion of Europe was launched. His troops were part oi Gen. Montgornery‘s invasion force and were the first Canadian fighting men to wade a- shore at Normandy. .

SUPREME COURT OF CANADA DECISION

OTTAWA. (CP)-The Supreme Court of Canada Monday wrested from the Federal government its ions-held power to keep income tax returns secret. In a unanimous decision. Can- ada's highest judicial body over- rode the government, ruling that the courts can order the admin- istration to produce these tax documents as evidence in an indie. table ollence_ The ruling, which cannot be ap- pealed. brought deep concern to the revenue department. Revenue Minister Mccann voiced his per- sonal opinion that the law should be strengthened to retain the secrecy element. But this. he said, is a matter for cabinet decision.

The nine Supreme Court judges, in their ruling. upheld the British Columbia. Appeal Court demanding that the revenue department pro- duce the csx returns of Bruce Snider and other men involved in 9. Vancouver gambling case. Snider and some 26 other men were charged in 1952 with keeping a common betting house. The revenue department objected to divulging their returns on the grounds this would be breaking the government's promise, implied in the Income Tax Act. to keep the returns secret.

NOTHING IN STATUTES

The supreme Court ruled that the revcnue minister has no right to object to the production of the returns. As for the so-called pro- mise. the justices could find noth- ing in the statutes indicating that Parliament intended that any state secrecy surround these papers.

_ Mr. Justice Roy L. Kellock. who handed down one of the main judg-

turn can be taken to court. But to do so would require that the document itself be introduced as evidence.

There are cases. he said. where the public interest may be endan. gered by disclosing certain docu- ments, such as diplomatic and de- fence papers. But. there also is a public interest which says that an innocent man is not to be con- demned when his innocence can be proved_

But in the light oi the Income Tax Act. “it would seem difficult to contend." added Mr. Justice Kellock, "that any state secrecy was intended by Parliament to Slil'1‘0llI1d the class of documents here in question."

The cabinet minister could. of course. make an affidavit outlining

GENEVA (Reuters) — Western delegates prepared final strategy Monday for blocking Communist attempts to gain veto powers in an armistice supervisory commis- sion at today's Indo-China talks.

Success of the nine-power peace negotiations here hangs in the balance. The six non-Communist nations are believed willing in accept a Communist country on the armistice commission v|'0V|d‘ ing it abides by majority rule iii- sicad of veto power.

Non-Communist delegates moi among themselves Monday and got in touch with the Communist side to see if agreement could be reached on the commission before the formal session. The Communists are insisting on a simultaneous cease-lire in all three lndo-Chinese states: Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia.

COMMISSION VITAL

Thus. the whole question of nalting hostilities hinges on agree- ing to an armistice commission. A cease-fire. in Vtet Nam would not be acceptable without a com- mission to supervise it.

in the smaller states of Laos and Cambodia. the chief problem is to obtain the withdrawal of the invading Vietmlnh forces. The Communlsts surprisingly agreed last week to such a withdrawal after weeks oi arguing that the Communists in Laos and Cambodia were “local resistance groups.“ Negotiations moved a step for- warrl when the foreign ministers of Laos and Cambodia agreed Monday to hold their first meet- ing with Vletminh deputy prem-

OTTAWA ' (CP)—An armor-ver- sus-infantry argument was _the focal point in a Commons it Monday on defence estimates.

Gordon Churchill (PC—Wlnnipe| South Centre). msnder of the lat Canadian armored carrier reli- merit in northwest Europe in the Second World War. took the side of armor. Defence Minister CIlX~ ton. an srtiuer‘ sergeant-mllor in the First Worl War. stood for the infantry.

Mr. Churchill contended the army is being patterned along the lines of the med! army--mostly infantry and too little armor.

He said the army is not a modern. mobile force because the armored corps has been neglected. Atomic weapons would chant! warfare and the army would have to be more mobile.

Senator fiargarei Chase Wins in Maine Primary

PORTLAND. Maine (APi—-Sena- lor Margaret Chase Smith won a smashing victory _ln the Maine primary Monday night from Rob- ert L. Jones—the man with whom she contends Senator Joseph Mc- Carthy (Rcp. Wis.) apparently tried to defeat her.

will investigate Shipping Trade

Canadian yards and Canada's lrarlc relations with other coiintrics. notably the Commonwealth nrca whose ships have relatively-free nccess to the coastal trade.

MARITIME CHAIRMAN

Plans for the commission call for s. three-man body representing the Maritimea. the west coast and cen- tral Canada. It is expected the Maritimer will be chairman.

The coastal trade consists oi haulage between Canadian points on the two sea boards, the St. Law- rence river and the Gicat. Lakes. It does not include trade between Canadian and non-Canadian ports.

Ships built and registered in the commonwealth can enter the Coast-

al trade freely now under the ‘.22- year-old British Commonwealth merchant shipping agreement.

Shins owned in the Commonwealth but built, elsewhere can take part on payment of a '25—pcr-cent duty on their vnluo.

Non-Commonwealth shipping can get. in only by permission of the transport minister for specific voy- ages.

Because oftheir low C01'1.li.l'\lCiI0l'i and operating costs. British vessels have moved in on the trade to some extent. This has occurred mainly on the east. coast and St Lawrence river. with It few smaller vessels operating on the Great Lakes.

These inroads could be stepped up sharply with the construction of the sraway, which will allow large 0<‘-M11-Rning vessels to sail to the heart of the continent.

CARGO INCREASE

The seaway also is expected to in- crcase hcnvily the over-all volume of cargo handled in the coastal traffic. This now runs to around 35,000,000 tons a year. mainly on the lakes, St. Lawrence and Atanl-lc seaboard.

Conflicting Reports (in Progress

BELIZE. British Honduras (Reu- ters)~A Guatemalan radio broad- cast Monday night announced the first. major clash between govern- ment forces and the rebel invad- ers while an insurgent broadcast called on the Guatemalan troops to surrender.

The government said its troops launched a counterqiffensive near Zacapa, about 75 miles from Gua- Wfllal-'i CM’. and had forced the rebels to retreat. It was the first indication of resistance by troops loyal to President Jacobo Arbens since the rebellion began Friday. l‘he_ rebel broadcast made no mcnlinn of a clash. It declared the invading forces have captured 2.1 Guatemalan villages and said Guatemalan fnrccs a re "sui- "(llll’l(I(‘(I” and will "suffer the con» I qucnces of their stupidity" if they <..i not give up.

Mr. Churchill said the armored personnel carrier. developed by Canada during the Second World War. has been ncglcctcd since then. a carrier would provide pru- tectinn for infantry. Lives of in- fanlrymcn had been sacrificed needlessly in the last two or three wars in which Canada has been in- vnlved.
