.House' Defeats .P. (2. Motion Of Non-Confidence

The Commons. completing s five- day debate on the address in replv to the Speech from the Throne, today voted 147 to 59 against a Progressive Conservative motion of non-confidence in the gcvemment.

The motion charged the govern- ment -wlth having "failed to pro- vide adequately for the defence of Canada" and with failure to take steps to "deal with inflation and the rapidly rising cost of living."

It was supported by the Pro- gressive conservative, C.C.F. and Social Credit parties and by RE Gagnon. (Ind.-Chlcoutlml) and Dr. Raoul Poulln (Ind.-Bcauc). it was opposed by the Liberals.

A C.C.F. motion of non-confld- ence in the government was de- ieated Saturday 93 to 018. it was similar to the Progressive Conserv- ative motion but in addition called for the relrnposition of price con- trols and, the revival of subsidies on essential products. it urge! economic aid to backward count- rise.

No Formal Vote

with the non-confidence motions defeated. opposition members agreed to adopt the address in reply to the speech from the Throne "on division"-without a formal vote.

The address simply thanked the Governor General, Viscount Alex- ander, for having read the , ” from the Throne at the opening of this emergency session Aug. 20.

Opposition Leader Urges Secret Defense Session

(By The Canadian Press)

OTTAWA. Sept. 5 - George Drew. Progressive leader. asked the Government to- night to hold a secret session of Parliament on Canada's defences.

He said he did so.becau.se Op- position members have been get- i.in8- no real dnformation about defence-matter: and because the Government-; 40: no sufficient- csuoo. has rejected requests for a defence committee of the House.

1-iis request came late in the Commons' first full day of discus- sion on the Government's 3850,- 000,000 defence appropriation aris- ing from Korea.

Mr. Drew said war-experienced members of the House could get. in secret session. the information they were denied in public meet- -ings.

The Russians. he declared. knew more about the state of Canada's defences than Opposition mem- bers. They knew how many plan- es Canada h-ad. how many guns and vehicles.

They knew a lot about Canadian defence. They had access to that information. It was. for that reas- on. inexcusable for the Govern- ment io use that excuse in its re- fusal to form a House committee.

But since it had refused and since no member wished to be placed in a position of asking for information the. Government said was secret he wished to have a secret session.

Members whose experience came from war were facrd now with smug indifference and chattering lsugihter while the House discuss- ed national survival. His words here. he sai covered Trade Min- istor Howe. ealth Minister Mer- tin and Finance Minister Abbott.

Mr. Drew's call for a secret session came after Defence Minis- ter Claxton said the highly secret nature of much the Defence De- partment does is one reason why a House committee should not be appointed. -

The British sector came under heavy artillery fire Monday night and again last night. The American officer said the Reds pumped a lcng barrage into the British pos- ition but no direct hits on emplace- ments were reported.

Location of the British sector was not disclosed. It is manned by the lst battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the 1st battalion of the Middviesex Reg- iment. They are the first British ground troops to participate in the Korean war.

Four-F old Iii-oz-lqsure Likely To involve New Tax Boosts"

0'l'rAWA, Sept. 5 - (GP) Finance Minister Abbott placed a stasserlns 38.00.000.000" defence ap- propriation bill before the Com- mons today and said he plans to finance the 1060-51 phase of it without going into the red.

Amid parliamentary expectations that tax boosts are in the offing and on the heels of his own state- ment earller today that tax changes will be made. Mr. Abbott told the chamber:

"I think I can properly say at this time that I am not planning on a budget deficit for this year. despite the large increase in de- fence expenditures."

Beyond that, the Finance Min- later did not go.

But Opposition speakers who fol- lowed him in the debate on defence financing made clear their accept- ance of it as a hint of new tax levies and zuggested where the money should be raised,

Mr. Abbott won quick support for the proposed expenditures from the C. C.F'. and Social Credit part- ies, but. George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, called-with out committing his group - for a detailed breakdown.

The appropriation bill is a four- ply measure asking parliament to vote these immediate and prospect- ive sums:

1. s142.200.000 for the three arm- ed services - 858,492,837 for the R. C.A. F.. 054,171,283 for the Army and 329,536,130 for the Navy.

2. S300.000.00o for the purchase of arms for Canada and her North Atlantic allies. Much of this, Mr. Abbott indicated, will go to the North Atlantic partners "without navmmt-”

3. 5,310,000 for defence research and development and 32,000,000 for expanded R.C.M.P. land services in the vital and vulnerable coastal areas of ,3.-man Columbia and New- foundland. I A 4.

Russia Assails American Iiepori"

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.. Sept. 5 -(A?)-Russia today assailed as "provocative" a United states re- port that a soviet lieutenant was part of the crew of a plane shot down off Korea attacking a United Nations sir patrol.

The report was laid before the security Council by Warren R. Austin, chief U. S. delegate. who said he had no information beyond the fact that the plane bore the Soviet Red Star and theta de- stroyer had picked up the body of a. soviet officer.
