Finance Minister Abbott's budget, now anticipated sometime in May, is the most immediate major de- velopment on the Ottawa political horizon.

Young Members Work Way Into Resolutions Group

(By D'Arcy O'Donnell)

OTTAWA, April l’! — (CPL-A "ginger group" composed of young men with political ambitions is ex- pected to provide the fireworks at the annual meeting of the Progres- sive Conservative Association o.‘ Canada, opening today.

Approximately 1.000 delegates from various parts of Canada are expected at the three-clay sessions. Some representatives of the "gin- ger group" arrived in time to at- tend closed meetings of the resold tions committee Friday and sat-

lurday.

Ordinarily the committee is made up of veteran supporters of the party. said an official. As a result resolutions from the yoiuiger ele- ments of the party have usually been steered aside.

This year the younger element. worked its way into the committee sittings and urged. that the party

“go on record in favorof-a-natlonal social security program.

Veteran members o! the com- mittee suggested the party should not go so far. because a national health insurance plan would prove costly.

The youngsters disagreed and said if the older supporters of the party were not prepared to support a progressive social security pra- gram they should move out and make room for "new blood."

Another party supporter said that as a result of the showing by the younger members the resolu- tions coming out or the annual meeting would be “more progr

VH7, -_ A _'_I‘he question of organization, he said, would be one"of the major items on the agenda. A serious effort is underway to draft Hon. Earl Rowe iPC-Dufferin-Simco) for the presidency of the Assoc- iation.

J. M. Macdonnell (PC-iiiuskoka- Ontario) has been president for the last two years.

Some members believe a general ecction may come this year. A Lib- eral convention will be held in August to choose a. successor to Prime Minister Mackenzie King as leader of the Liberal Party. The new leader might seek an early mandate from the people, although the lire of Parliament does not ex- pire until August.
