Howe Says Gov't To Aid Plants Engaged In Defence Production

OTTAWA, June 24-(CP)-The government plans to spend S110,- 000.000 this year to help indus- tries handle defence contracts.

Production Minister Howe said today in the Commons the money will he used to provide capital assistance to both privately and publicly-owned industries in de- fence production. He spoke dur- ing consideration of the 1952-53 estimates of the Defence Produc- tion Department. .

Some of the money also will be: used to encourage industries in the United Kingdom and Europe to establish in Canada plants needed in Canada's defence pro- gram. ,

"If the full production of a plant is required for war produc- tion we bring ' ii-and we have brought several plants here," said Mr. Howe.

He added:

"One very large capital expen- diture is being made to bring out the turbine production of English Electric. We had a small turbine production here and that ls'lo be expanded very consider- ably. The turbine designed by English Electric in the United Kingdom is to be built here in iuantltles sufficient to supply the .urbines for the (naval) escort vessel program."

Mr. Howe gave the information in reply to questions by Howard Green (PC-Vancouver - Quadra) who said that for security pur- poses it would be wise to trans- plant industries from the United Kingdom and Europe to Canada.

Gardiner lleporis On Slrawberries

OTTAWA, June 24 - (GP) Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today i the Commons the indica- tions a that home supplies of strawberries will meet Canada's requirements.

Replying to questions concern- ing import of Holland berries, Mr. Gardiner said that in recent weeks his department has been inquiring into complaints that quotations on Holland strawberries are depress- ing the prices offered by Cana- dian processors.

He said his information is that no orders have been placed for Holland berries in Montreal and Quebec and that "various small orders" have been placed in On-

Opposiiion Calls llesull Of , Probe Whitewash

OTTAWA, June 24 -(CP)-The commons agriculture committee t.oday adopted 9. report, described as "whitewash" by Progressive Conservative and C.C.F. mem- bers, commending federal veterin- arians for their handling of foot- and-mouth disease in Southern Saskatcliewan.

The report was approved on di- vision-without a formal vote- after Liberal members defeated a Progregive Coriservative motion charging "laxity and gross negli- gence" in the Agriculture Depart- ment's Health of Animals Division.

The amendment. also said Agrii culture Minister Gardiner did not

- "assure competent performance of

duty by those responsible to him", thus bringing about a serious loss

. in export and domestic markets to

the Canadian farmer.

The motion was defeated 21 to it with the C.C.F. supporting the Progressive Conservatives. The three Social Credit-members pre- sent did not vote. Later Robert Fair (SC-Battle River) tried to refer the report back to a steering committee for redraftlng. This move was rejected by 19 to 12 with the Liberals voting against. it.

. L.E. Cardiff (PC-Huron North) said the committees work was a. "whitewash" from start to

finish. At least. in the case of one witness-Dr. Orion Hall, assist- ant veterinary direct.or-general- questions and answers had been "framed."

would Charge Vets

Percy Wright (COF-Mieiforti agreed that it was a "whitewash." At least three federal veterinari- ans should be charged with "he- gligence."

They were: Dr. Thomas Childs. veterinary director-general; Dr. N.D. Christie and Dr. N.v. James federal veterinarians at Regina.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner said the question of judging whether "individuals" had done a good Job was one for the depart- ment to decide, not the cmmittee.

Mr. Wright said the federal con- trol effort was commendable after Feb. 17. but before that there was "absolute negligence." Proper di- agnosis procedure had not been followed. As a result. the disease originally was diagnosed as vesi- cular stomatltls when it actually was fool.-anti-mouth disease.

No Loss From Delay

Mr. Gardiner countered that farmers had profited by the delay in correct diagnosis. Even if offic- ials had only” talked" about foot-

tario.

New Blows "Al Norlh Korean Hydro Pills

SEOUL, June 26 -(Wednesday) --(AP)- Allied planes heaped dc- struction on four big hydro-electric plants in Northeastern Korea Tue- sday for the second straight day of relentless assault on the source of power for Communist war factor- lea.

The new blows fell at the end of the second year of the bloody, bit.- ter-and now stalemated-war on this devasted Asiatic peninsula.

United states Fifth Air Force and navy fighter-bombers again teamed up in the mass pounding of power houses on Fusen and Chang- Jln reservoirs.

Smoke and flame mushroomed from the plants Pilots said destru- ction was complete.

The huge generating plant. at. the south bank of the Yalu River at Suiho Dam-blasted into a flaming shell Monday when all five plants were bombed-was not a target Tuesday.

The Defence Department official said the blow at the power sources for North Korea and parts of Man- churia was a direct result of Com- munist stalling at the Panmunjom truce talks.
