OTPAWA, June 18 - (C?) - Membcrs of the Commons today urged the Government to make greater payments to municipali- ties where Federal property is located.

Finance Minister Abbott, pilot- ing a resolution preliminary to a bill putting the present grants- in-lieu-of-tax system on a per- manent basis, gave no indication that the Government intends to boost the payments. The resolu- tion was adopted, and the bill received first reading.

The payments are made. under a government formula. to muni- cipalities where there is a heavy concentration of tax-free Crown buildings. They do not apply to parks. irrigation projects, canals and other works for the public good.

Mr. Abbott's resolution was given approval by the House af- ter members from all sides of the chamber had expressed them- selves in falvor of one form or sn- other of increased grants to the

No Increase In Size Of lobslers

OTTAWA. June 18 -(Special) -Fisheries Minister Mayhcw an- nounced today that there would be no increase in the minimum size of lobsters which can per- missirb-ly be caught in Canada's east coast waters. The announce- ment was in reply to represents- tions made in the House of Com- mane last week by A. W. Stuart. Liberal member for Charlotte, that larger sized lobsters com- mand rnuoh higher prices on the United States market than the "chicken" lobsters which weigh a pound apiece. .

Mr. Mayhow said that the State of Maine had decided against in- creasing the size of lobsters which can legally be caught in waters off the Maine coast. Massa- chusetts, on the other hand. has increased the limit size by one- sixteenth of an inch.

Mr. Mayhew said in reply to Mr. Stuas-t's charge that Canada was catching too many small lobsters and selling them at sacrifice pzlioes, that the New Brunswick membe may have been right in theory. but the department would have the greatest difficulty in getting fishermen to catch to a larger size limit than now exist.-

Will Aclllhless British Meel Demand For Cash

LONDON. June 18 - (AP) - Britaln has agreed to go part way in meeting Iran's demand for cash in order to settle the oil controv- ersy, informed officials said to- day.

The British-owned Anglo-Iran- ian Oil Company's negotiators will offer about f'.l0,000,000 as part of a general counter - proposal when they meet with the Iranian neg- otiating team in Tehran tomor- row, it was reported.

But Hussein Makl. right-hand man to Irianlan Premier Moham- med Mossadegh. said at Abadan that unless Britain met Iran's full demands, "We'll shut off the Valve."

Britain must agree by the dead- line, tomorrow night. to pay Iran 75 per cent of its oil profits since March and set aside the rest in a. bank to meet possible company claims for compensation, or Iran will prevent oil deliveries to tank- ers. Makl told reporters.

Iran would "take over" the en- tire refinery Wednesday. if Brit- ain does not agree and begin mak- ing oil deliveries on its own, he said. 1

London informants said Iran's demand for 75 per cent of the profits is unacce -table. About 244.-

officials announced today that a slump, blamed by dealers 'on credit restrictions and higher taxes. is responsible for s. cutback in production that will mean lay- offs for an undetermined number of the company's 14.000 employ- zes early in July.

President Rhys M. Sale said the company will suspend production of domestic vehicles June 25 and 26. the entire plant will be closed for irwentory-taking June 21. 28 and 29. and a "curtailed manu- facturing program will go into effect July 3. after the Dominion Day holiday."

Mr. snle gave no estimate of the number of men to be laid off.

He said the curtailed production was made necessary by the in- ability of dealers to dispose of their stock rapidly enough to keep pace with factory shipments.

HIRED ON WIIARF

P. E. Islander Seeks To Settle Shipping Strike

YORK. June 18 -fAP)- Shp sailing schedules were scut- tled today as the first full impact of country-wide Maritime stop- pages. effective last Friday mid- night. hit American ports.

The Maritime Union (C. I. 0.) said that 80 ships slated to be on the high seas were "sitting still" on the east and golf coasts.

Except for military cargoes, west coast shipping also was blocked.

"We are still willing to negotiate provided the operators will put something on the table." said N. M. U. president Joseph Curran.

As the first real effects of the tie-up were felt, following a week- end when few ship departures were schedule. Cyrus 8. Ching. a native of Prince Edward Island,

chief of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. stepped

in.

His strategy was reported to be to try to bring negotiators of all three idle C. I. O. unions-the N. M. U.. the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association and the American Radio Association-tm gether with representatives of the 40 shipping companies.

All are seeking pay raises and other contract changes.

Cargoes for European defence and the Korean war still moved, in keeping with the unlons' guar- antee to President Truman.

N. M. U. officials maintained the stoppage by its 60,000 members on the east and gulf coast was not a strike. but merely a. policy of ”no

contract. no work.”

Canadian Medical Assin. Annual Meeting Held

MONTREAL. June la -(CP) - The Canadian Medical Association, in an annualmeetlng here. today passed a. resolution of its general practice section whih asked that large city general hospitals be re- quested to set up departments of general practice.-

This would enable family doct- ors to maintain their professional standards and would enable them to draw on modern medical know- ledge and scientific aids.

General practitioners worked closely with specialists in smaller hospitals but much of the work they could do in larger hospitals now is being done by specialists.

Rating of Canadian hospitals. carried out until now by the American College of Surgeons. will be taken over by R body set up by the Canadian Medical Associ- ation in co-operation with other groups. In the past. C.M.A. has ap- proved hospitals for internship and for the training of technol- ogists. but there was no complete standardization and approval lady. The new body will not con- lllct with the rating systems as- tabllshcd by some provinces. on which provincial dlospltal grants are based.

"We hope to provide Canadian hospitals and their staffs with a standard for efficient and ef- fectlve care of patients." said Dr. Norman Gosse. Halifax. associat- ion president. "Through regular inspections and ratings, the has- pitals and those working in them will be able to improve the quality of medical and hospital care."

The decision was made neces- sary by the withdrawal of the American College of Surgeons from the rating field in both Canada and the United states. A joint commi ' of medical and hospital groups in the U. 8. will take over their work and although Canada may have representation on that v mission. C. M .A. will still take the lead in forming a

Nut-Grower

Critical Of

General Eating Habits

'n0lt.ONTO. June 1! -(OP) -A 94-year-old nut-grower tapped fretfully at the cast encasln-3 his broken neck and announced that the human race in America is in danger of eating itself to death.

George Hcbdcn Oorsan suffered the broken neck when he fell from a tree on his farm in nearby Islington three weeks ago. Today he's out of he ital and he expects to get rid of he cast in another six weeks.

He credits his rapid recovery to a diet consisting mainly of orange Juice, to which he has adhered- aslinst the advice of doctors and nurses-ever since the accident. He was "at home" lo well-wishers on his farm Saturday after his re- lease from hospital.

Nut-growing is a comparatively recent pursuit for Mr. Oorsan. Be look it up-against the advice of Dominion Government officials- in 10.13 and has develo 00 var-

ieties of nuts on his farm in Iallngton, on Toronto's western outskirts.

He developed his ideas on diet during a long career as a swim- srzlng coach and authority on phy- sical culture in the Unlled States.

"The world could be e Utopia," he says. "if .everyone lived as I do-on fruits. vegetables and nuts. People on this continent are stuffing themselves to death with milk. meat, cheese and eggs."

And to support his argument. he walks around his farm. hamper- ed only slightly by the cast from forehead to waist "which makes my feel as though I ought to be handled with ice-tongs."

Mr. Corsan's third wife. a 62- yesr-old former Toronto school teacher whom he married 5 1-2 months ago. is slim. dark. looks fbout 40 and is a strict vegetar- so.

she says her husband is "a re- markable men."

TOKYO. June 19 --iTuesriay)- (AP)-The Communists streng- thened their lines in North Korea Monday for a possible new of- fensive but decisively lost a new test of strength in the air with American jet fighters.

The Reds hurled a total of 56 Russian-built jet planes at 37 American F-36 Sabre; in "Mig Al- ley" just south of the Manchurian border in two spectacular actions Monday. Five Russian-built Migs were shot down and me damaged without loss or damage to the Fifth All" Force planes. in one scrap, the odds were 16 Migs to four U. S. Sabres but the speedy F-86's escaped without harm.

it was the second- consecutive day of jet battles. Sunday. 20 Sabres outfought 25 Migs, destroy-l mg one and damaging six without loss to themselves. The two-day mini bar thus was six Migs de- stroyed and right damaged.

As Communist planu more aggressiveness. fresh Chinese troops were reported near on the western and central fronts.

on the western front. AP cor- leapondent Stan Carter was told by an Allied officer. "Reports still indicate new Chinese troops are somewhere to the north."

Good-sized Allied armored pat- rols bulled their way through an increasing volume of enemy fire to hunt these concentrations. The tanks and troops drew heavy mortar fire over roads seeded with land mines. At one point north of Kumhwa an Allied patrol was forced to turn back without join- ing forces with another tank patrol.

The Communists hurled two at- tacks east of Kumhwa during the day. but each was repulsed. The second and longer attack involved! about a battalion of Reds and raged four hours before Allied troops conlalned ii.

PARIS, June 18 -(AP)- The middle-of-the-road parties of France claimed victory is. the gen- eral election loni-ght as returns lnciicatcd the new 627-seat Nation- al Assembly would lean fartherio the right lhan the old one. Premier Henri Qucuille. leader. of the centre roalitlon which has governed France for thr last five years, said: "The Governmenthaov hopes. They have not hcen (llsap-'- pointed."

The middle-of-the-ruari definitely are emerging majority in the new Assembly.

But this combination covers' such a wide spread of ecnnomicl and social views that it pl-obablyl will have to lean to the right to slay in power.

These other facts emerged from the Sunday voting.

Gen. Charles De Gnl.lle's semblement Du Pcuple Franc-ais lifted from the Communists the! title of "first party in parlliment." can still claim the fill: of "largest party in France" on the basis of their popular vote.

It appeared as if the Commun- ists would be down to about 110 seats from the 183 which they and their fellow travellers had in the old Assembly. De Gaulle probably has improved his standing from about a dozen seats to 115 or more in his first general election.

But the Communists still polled 22.2 per cent of the popular vote, down from 28.6 per cent they tal- lied in 1946.

So far the contests for 57'? of the 627 seats had been decided. Re- turns from all the 90 departments. or counties, of France. the three departments of North Africa and lhree colonial constituencies were complete.

These gave the folloning divis- ions of seats:

Communists 96.

De Gaullists 107.

Centre Parties 3'10

Others 4.

The 370 seats shared centre parties included:

Socialists 97.

Left Republicans (the right-nf- rentre Radical Socialists and the Democratic Union of Rene Pleven) D5

Mouvement Republicaln Popu- lsire (left-of-centre Roman Cath- olics) 5.

Independent Toasants 103.

De Gaulllsts had 18.5 per cent of the popular vote, Socialists 1.1."!
