OTTAWA (CB) - The Progres-
dsy called for action now to re- vise the federal labor code.
Opposition leader Drew said in tr: Commons that the code was las overhauled 13 years ago.
He said Labor Minister Gregg should give "positive and unquali- fied assurance" that a review will be made instead of making "speculative suggestions" as to when it might be done.
The government should establish a commission or commltt tr. eluding a , ” Of 80V0l'l1- ment. unions, ma igement and other interested parties-to rec- ommend changes.
Mrs. Ellen Fairclough. Conserv- atlve labor critic. said present con- ciliation procedures under the law are "antiquated." They caused de- lays which "frequently provide a h ” up period" ' ' ” of the cooling-off period as first intended.

"We have had our danger signs." she said. One was the com- pulsory arbitration imposed in the 1950 rail strike. which had been reflected in railway labor negotia- tions ever since.
Replying later, Mr. Gregg said he believes it is important to keep the industrial Relations and Depu- ties Act up to date. But he did not think there was as much wrong with it as Opposition speakers had claimed.
Clarie Gillls, CCF labor spokes- man. said many of the problems of the labor code resulted because labor relations could be taken to court.
The problems were mainly ad- ministrative and would largely dis- appear if a competent national in- bor board enforced the law and took it out of the hands of the
lcmry. the Cape Breton south member said.

Two prominent potato men. Alan Buchanan, president of home Campbell, Ltd.. Windsor. Out. and Paul J. Maroon of Mid- west Produce.

strltt adherence to acviral sci cepted practices which the mod- ern consumer insists on."
These practices make it essen- tial that a guaranteed unlforrn quality of pack be available in constant supply. Mr. Maroon pointed out that in supplying chain stores with tablestock in pound bags. all too frequently there was a definite shrinkage and matted bags were in evid- ence. He believed that this was due to each grower being his own packer and a number of such loading into one car without due regard to the overall picture which is frequently unsatisfactory due to the indifference of one grower.

He will immediately move to Madison, Wllwnsin. where he has been appointed to the research staff of Red Dot Foods, Inc.. the mid- west's largest manufacturer of potato chips and snack foods.
Dr. Stevenson assumed the leadership of the National Potato Breeding Program in 1930. At um time nine states had signed agreements. As he aelinquishes his post. 28 states have signed formal agreements, 11 co-operate informally and there are cooper- ative arrangements with 62 for- eign countries.
An impressive list of new pota- to varicties, including the Kalah- din and the Kennebcc. bear wit- ness to the success of the potato breeding program under his lead- ershlp.
(Dr. Stevenson is a native of P. E. lsland., having been born at Fredericton. He attended school at Hazel Grove and later Prince of Wales College. He taught school in the United States College where he was granted several degrees, eventually leav- ing thcre in 1929 with the degree. Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Stev-

Sir Francis claims he knows nothing more about the Crabb case and has no idea, personally. whether Cnabb is dead or alive. I-is said an American friend with whom he was closely associated may know the whereabouts of the mis- sing letter.
The Crabb case, so far as is pub- licly known. has never been cleared up. British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden said in Parlia- ment May 9 that no minister had authorized the frogman's activities and that disciplinary action was being taken.
