OTTAWA, May, 2’l—(OP)—Op- position motions calling for votes of non-confidence in the Gov- ernment because oi the budget brought down a. month ago were defeated tonight in the Commons.

By a vote of 10f! to 91 the meni- bers rejected a C. C. F. motion which called on the House to ex- press regret that the budget had not provided for increases in basic income tax exemptions and had provided no relief for the half of the Canadian population which

‘docs not earn enough to pay iri-

come taxes.

'f‘liis motion was in the form of an amendment to a Progressive Conservative motion-defeated 109 to 90-whlch criticized the Gov-

mrnment for falling to provide re-

lief from indirect and hidden tax- es. for falling to encourage the development of natural resources such as, mining and agriculture. and for failing to reconvene the Dominion-Provincial conference.

With defeat of the non-confld-‘

eiice motions. the main motion calling for members to go into committee of supply to study the budget resolutions. was adopted on divislon—without recorded vote. The resolutions will bring into effect the tax changes announced in the budget.
