Declares Two Million Canadian People Now Without Proper Housing

o'I'I'AwA. May 1 --(cP)- Two member. of the commons today called for improvement in housing for Canadians.

speaking in the budget debate, 0. E. Johnston (SC-Bow River) said 2,000,000 people are without proper housing and asked the gov- ernment to revise its policy so that more and better houses are built.

Julian Ferguson (PC-simcoe North) demanded "less red tape and procrastination in building houses."

Mir Johnston said the backlog or housing units is about 100.000 be- hind the demand. Also, he said, not one house in 100 is being built ac- cording to specifications proposed by the government-owned Central Mortgage and Housing corpora- tlon.

"Building standards are being rlountcd in almost every instance."

Blames Lending Institutions

The social Credit member also blamed lending institutions for tightening up on .loan money for home costruction, declaring they are one of the elements controlling Federal Government. housing pol- icy.

Mr. Ferguson took issue with what he called Liberal claims that the Federal Government is re- sponslble for prosperous conditions.

No credit is being given, he said. to the influx of United States cap- ital in the development of natural resources.

on the same point. Mr. Johns- ton said the only contribution of the Federal Government to pros- perity is its preparations for "war".

"If the preparations for war were teloen sway today." he said. "you would find yourselves in a depres- sion again."

Critical of Indemnltlea

Mr. Ferguson said the Liberal Party should be "man enough" to me: the indemnitics of mem- bers of the, commons to "where they should be."

He said that an indemnity of 84.000 in member is "disgraceful, insulting remuneration."

(Members receive 84.000 for each session of 06 days duration and a 82.000 annual tax-free living allow- ance. last year. when there were two sessions. members received a total of 010.000).

Every member "feels as I do" about the indemnities, said Mr. hrguaon. But they declined to dis- cuss the question because they did not think it good politics.

Members should not be afraid to say they feel they arelworth more than 84.000 a. year. Member work- ed long hours after the butcher and baker had locked up shop. Members lived in rented quarters in Ottawa while maintainng home in their own constituencies.

If people wanted the right type of men to come to parliament they should be prepared topay higher indemnities. He did not indicate hoiwi much he believed should be pa .

Lt.-Col.tWil1iams Retires From 28 LAA Command

Lieut.-col. If. Gordon Williams, officer commanding the 28th 1.. A. A. Regiment, is retiring to the Supplementary Reserve of Of- ficers following 25 years service to the Army. His retirement will become official on July 1. but actually he has relinquished com- mand of the regiment. Although there has been no definite order come through as yet the command of the unit will pass to Major L. E. Wellner temporarily pending a permanent appointment.

It is expected that Major Well- ner. who has been second-in-com- mend of the regiment, will be pro- moted to lieutenant colonel and given command of the unit. Officers, N.C.O.'s and men of the Artillery gathered last night at the Armouries,to say farewell to col. Williams. It took the form of a lobster supper and shortly before the end of the proceedings E.S.M. H. Hobbs called for silence. He then presented the retiring colonel with a beautiful silver tray, suitably inscribed from the mem- bers of the I i t, complete with a silver service and 8 silver goblets.

In expressing his appreciation to the unit Col. Williams said that though financial returns might not be too great in the Reserve Army the service a man gave to it paid big dividends in training and friendships. The colonel voiced his regret in- leaving the Army after so long a service but said he would take with him memories of countless happy times both in training and at the annual camps.

Col. Williams first joined the Army as is Signalman with the 5th Infantry Divisional Signals in 1927 and the following year transferred to the Artillery. He received his commission as a lieutenant in 1935 and remained with the regiment until the outbreak of the post war when he immediately signed for active" service. He received his promotion to captain while train- ng al'..Petawawa in 1040 and held that rank when he went overseas in 1011. While serving in Eng-

VANCOUVER. May 1 - (GP) - The "best homes in Canada" are in British Columbia.

The architects know and 300 of them are here today attending the 45th annual convention of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, discussing the trend to B. C.-type homes.

The modern. plush homes with their background of mountains and sea views, along with the more conventional types, have attracted atitention from all parts of Can- a a.

Vancouver shares in the honor

of having some of the most mod- ern homes. "Vancouver people won't live in a. hole in the corner as many do back east". said O. J. Carrol of Ottawa. executive y of the Institute. "Living and recreation mean so much more to them than to people in other parts of can- ada. They centre their attention on their homes and their design is outstanding."

He introduced B.C.-type homes to Ottawa. "They have attracted more attontlon than any other in the suburb of Eockcliffc."

The architects also learned that wealthy Toronto citluns are ask- ing Vancouver architects to de- sign B.C.-type homes in new suburbs. i

Maybe Decisive Meeting Today in Truce Talks .

MUNSAN. Korea, May 2--- (Friday)-(AP)-The full Al- lied and Communist delega- tions convened today in what may be the decisive meeting of the Korean armistice negotiations-now nearly 10 months old.

The Reds brought their answer to an Allied compromise plan for settling the three last big is- sues blocking A tr,uce.

The big question was the Communist reaction to the Allied proposal for retaining 100,000 out of 170,000 prisoners who any they do not want to go back to the Reds.

The Communists denounced the figure angrily last week and broke off secret talks on prisoner exchange. The U. N. command came up with its new proposal Monday. Details were secret, but Washinitlofl reports said the Allies offer- ed to drop their oppolstlon to rebuilding North Korean mili- tary sirflelds during a truce if the Reds would accept the Allies principle of not return- ing those prisoners who ob- ject to repatration.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.. May 1 -(AP) -- A new tactical A-bomb of fiery intensity today gave 2,150 entrench- marines a solid jolt in their first nucler manoeuvres. but there were no casualties. The brilliant bomb burst about 2,000 feet above Yucca Flat, less than four miles from two picked combat battalions. The weapons selected for the test came from the Atomic Energy Commission's top secret drawer. and it was perhaps the brightest bomb seen in s daylight test here.

Reporters. not permitted on the test site this time. saw a fire ball that lasted a full 10 seconds and continued to flicker in the subse- quent nuciear cloud for perhaps

The bomb was dropped from an air force 3-50 at an elevation all probably 30,000 feet. .

The detonation level of 2.000 feel put the marines closer to an atomic burst than any troops had been before. For the 1,500 army troops in last week's manoeuvres the bomb exploded at 3,500 feet.

The rloters carried pictures of Stalin and Red Chinsis Mao Tac- Tung and shouted "Yankees. 30 home."

"Our natural water barriers would just fade away in the face of air travel if we had the run- ways at local airport lengthened." His Worship said. The matter of extending them was under study at the present time by Depart- ment of Transport officials. The cost to the City would simply be the original cost of the land need-

Mr Gardiner. tabling a 306- page document dealing with re- ports on the disease, charged that Mr. Diefenbaker was trying to "build up" the idea that he was being "denied" information.

In presenting the committee with new information, he would leave it to the members to decide "what is going to be spread over the country with regard to this dis- case.”

Mr. Diefenbaker countered that it was not a matter of spreading information. but of getting "fuli information" and to find out what. had caused the disease to spread
