V In an open letter to Prime Min- islcr St. Laurent. the association asked that the government:

.1. Take stronger financial act- ion to curtail non-essential spend- Iniz on the part of the public.

2. Make clear immediately to the piihlic iihe stops it is taking to fight inflation and the collabora- iion it expects.

3. Sci up committees with pow- or to examine and curb price ""il'krli'lls "not justified by basic casts." ,

The C.A.C. said it is deeply con- cerned about inflation and urged the government not to take any action which would place an ad- ditional burden on low-income Emu-ps.

liowever. it said the present iii-ice level is due in part to in- creased spending by the public.

liesislanda-In West-Central Korea Sliifens

TOKYO, March 2 -- (Friday)- (AP)-lunlted Notions troops slugged ahead up to three miles Thursday against stiffening resist- ance in west-Central Korea, where the Chlneu Communists are be- lieved to be preparing for a great spring offensive. -

Lt.-Gen. Matthew Ridgwayw U. 8. Eighth Army communique re- ported gains of seven Allied divis- ions along an irregular 00-mile- wide front. The stiffest fighting was encountered by bayonet- charging U. S. marines in the cen- tre of the line.

Front dispatches said the at- tacks by the marines near 1-foeng- song and by army divisions gener- ally along the front would throw the Reds even further off balance and probably delay the Commun- lst drive expected this month.

Discuss Plans To .l.-.'ly Wounded Home

0'l.'.f'AWA. March 1 - (CP) - Canadian airmen are expected to fly Canadian battle casualties from Korea home from Japan. Cania-dian nurses will probably make the trips with them.

However, defence headquarters said today it has not yet received word that the first movement of Canadian battle casualties by air to this continent is imminent.

It is expected that R. C. A. P. North Stars on the Trans-Pacific route will be used to fly the Canadians. If the numbers be- come considerable when the whole 25th Brigade goes into action. some of the casualties wiill prob- ably be brought home by ship.

Not all woim-ded will be re- turned, Those who do come will be men probably not able to fight again or not able to fight for I. long lime. 0

Comiiions Debates Sland-by Conlrols

OTTAVVA. March 1- (CP) - Prime Minister St. Laurent said today he believes it would be

"very presumptuous" for any one to predict at this time the future course of the world.

It would be more satisfactory to the Federal Government. he said. if it could state what control powers would be needed during the present emergency.

"But that isn't the kind of world we are living in." he added.

Mr. St. Laurent, spoke in llie Commons after George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader. criticized. the government for see-ng "wide-open. undefined" powers in a bill now before par- llament.

Mr. Drew said the bill, givlni: the Government powers to im- pose price. wage and other con- trols. loft Parliament in the posi- lion where it could not even guess what the Government has in mind.

Al; the night sitting some pro- gress was made in clause-by- clause study of the bill. The Op- position presented a number of amendment; with a view to clarifying the legislation or limit- ing the Governments powers. Some of tho amendments-all technical in nature-were accept- ed and others rejected.

Study of the bill will be re-' sumed iomorrovv.

Mr. St. Laurent said the legis- lation contains some powers the governmcnt probably may never

use. He could not foresee the government taking any major step without consulting Parlia- ment. But he believed "the nov- crnmeni should have the power to1nct quickly should the need arse.

PARIS, March fl -(AP) - Georgcs Bidauit, (above) -twice premier of France since the war. tonight was attempting to form his third cabinet.

Following hours with leaders of other parties in the old middle-road coalition. Bidauit. said he would know. some- time Friday whether he can suc- ceed. V

One of the essential elements in any coalition. the Radlcal-Soc-ial- lst (Conservative) Party decided in a party caucus to stand by its guns in the squabble over elector- al reforms which toppled the cab- inet of Premier Rene Pleven Wed- nesday.

The Radicals voted 3. run-off system for parliament- ary elections this fall. Bldaull-'s own party. the Roman Catholic Mouvement Republican Poipulalre (M.R.P.). has insisted on a single- ballot type of election.

Bldault, Who conferred with a group of M.R.P. leaders late to- day. seemed to fore the task of persuading his colleagues in ac- cent a run-off system.

President Vincent Auriol tapped Birlault for premier's Job after Pleven declined to try immediate- ly to form it new ministry.

one reason for Auriol's choice was that l3idnult's party was largely responsible for the parlia- mentary impasse which caused Pleven to resign.

Parliamentary observers did not give Bidnult much chance of suc- cess. They predicted the crisis will continue several days.
