Ottawa CHARLOTTETOWN CANADA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1958 NOT MORE THAN FIVE CENTS Urges Gov't Disallow CPR “Christmas Presen’r" OTTAWA (CP) — The govern- ment should disallow immediately e $6,300,000 “Christmas present” given the CPR by way of higher freight rates, CCF member Hazen Argue said Friday in the Com- mons. The CPR earned a net operat- ing income of more than $71,000,- 000 in 1956, including $41,300,000 on its rail operations, he said. It would not go broke if there was no 3.6-per-cent rate increase. Mr. Argue, member for Assini- boia, Sask., said there is a great deal of opposition to the increase in Western C a n a d a. The’ four Western and four Atlantic prov- lnces had to bear the main bur- den of increased freight rates. " "This is causing a severe strain on Confederation itself.” He spoke during a catch-all de- bate as the Commons reconvened after a 12-day holiday recess. The debate was touched off by is government request for an in- terim money supply of $272,000,- 000 to pay January bills. The re- quest was not opposed. Mr. Argue said the, increase, granted Dec. 27 by the board of transport commissioners, should be disallowed by the government because of the adverse effect it might have on employment. WILL HELP BOTH LINES The board granted a _.freight rate boost, effective Jan. 15, that will mean $5-000,000 to the CPR and $8,700,000.t0 the CNR. The supply motion also pro- vided the Opposition with a ve- hicle for discussion of trade poli- cies. Mr. Argue said there is no evi- dence that the government pro- posal to shift 15 per cent of Cana- dian purchases in the United States to Britain will work. The government's policy of macy by insultr" ‘had strained Canadian-American relations and accomplished nothing except to arm Washington lobby groups seeking restrictions on Canadian exports to the U.S. Paul Martin (L—Essex East) said the proposed shift, an- nounced last summer by Prime Minister Diefenbaker in a press conference, may have had some- thing to do with the recent U.S. _ decision to cut oil imports to Pacific Coast states by 15 per cent.

(AP Wirephoto) Hillary Reaches Name Chairman Of Rail-Union Conciliation ‘Bd. OTTAWA (CP) — Hon. Charles P. McTague of Toronto has been named chairman of a federal con- ciliation board to deal with the $128,000,000-a-year contract dis- pute between the railways and their 140,000 non - operating em- ployees, the labor department an- nounced Friday. Other members of the. three- man board will be Toronto lawyer David Lewis, nominee of the un- lions, and Montreal lawyer Phillip F. Vineberg, nominated _by the companies. Mr. McTague was designated as chairman by Labor Minister Mi- chael Starr after the union and company nominees failed to agree on choice of a chairman. Mr. McTague was chairman of the national war labor board and is a former justice of the Ontario Court. He has sat on many la- bor management conciliation boards. Mr. Lewis has had wide exper- ience In the labor field, on con- ciliation boards and as legal coun- sel for unions. Mr. Vineberg, a top - flight Montreal commercial lawyer, is entering his first labor case of a national scale with this appointment. The board will have the job of, first, trying to get the railways and unions together, and, if not successful in this, making recom- mendations to the labor minister for a possible solution. The unions are asking basically for wage increases amounting to 35 cents an hour. Brief negotia- tions on the union demands broke off several weeks ago, and the parties decided.to go to concilia- tion.

However, noting that eight provinces—-all but Ontario and Quebec-are planning to appeal the decision to the cabinet, he said the increase should be de- layed at least until the cabinet makes its decision. During the opening ‘question period, Mr. Green declined to comment on the increase or say when a.decision might be reached. I SCOTT BASE, Antarctica (Reu- ters)—Sir Edmund Hillary, first man to lead a successful‘ assault on Mount Everest, celebrated a new victory Friday over snow -and ice—a successful dash over the Antarctic wastes to the South Pole. The 38-year-old New Zealand explorer is the first man to reach the bottom of the world by the overland route since Capt. Robert Scott made it 46 years ago, only to perish in a blizzard on the way back. The battered snow tractors Hil- Iary and his four New Zealand companions used completed the 1,200-mile trek with enough gaso- line left for only another 2.0 miles. “We are all veryftired but well, and very pleased to have ar- rived,” Hillary, knighted in 1953 for conquering Everest, radioed back to this coastal base where his historic journey began three months ago. Two hundred miles aw-ay,‘on the opposite side of the Pole, is British party led by Dr. Vivian Fuchs was grinding steadily progress slowed by painstaking scientific investigations along the way. (In London, Fuchs’ headquar- ters estimated he would reach the Pole Sunday.) " . Original plans called for Fuchs «to reach the Pole and then press on to a camp 500 miles away where he would link up with Hil- lary and proceed with him the re- maining 700 miles back to Scott Base. But last week Hillary electni- fied the world with the news that he had decided to press on “hell- bent” to the Pole. Officials have emphasized there was no question of a Hillary- Fuchs race, but the six-foot, four- inch New Zealander drove his team remorselessly over towering mountain ranges into the pola basin. ' Often the tractors had to be dug out of soft snow and‘ equipment was left by the trail to Lighten the load. The panty came into sight of a United States station at the Pole at 3 p.m. after a final dash of through difficult conditions to- ward ihe same destination, its 70 miles. iyLeif’r Million Dollar Car Business; Promises Story HALIFAX (CP)—A Toronto car dealer promised here Friday to tell next.week why he,’ his part- ner and their wives dissappeared from Toronto last June leaving behlud 8 $1.000.000\used car busi- ness. ‘Tm trying I0 give you news—‘ Papermen a fair deal," bulky Arthur Morris said in an inter- view.

Jacobs was clos- eted with a Toronto reporter while Morris fielded questions from other reporters about the June disappearance by tossing Iback queries on Halifax. When the Jacobs and Morrises vanished from T o r o n t 0 six months ago, they left a used car business wor th an estimated $1,000,000, a $50,000 house, a $25,000 summer cottage and an $18,000 speed boat. The business was sold to Colonial Finance Cor- poration for $167,000 after Jacobs and Morris werr declared absen- tees. ORDER ISSUED A. G. Christie,»-assistant super- intendent of immigration here, said a deportation order was is- sued because the Morrises and Jacobs did not comply with im- migration rules. He said they tried to enter the country as the Plesners, a sur- name used by Morris and Jacobs in England before coming to Can- ada in 1951. Halifax lawyer Samuel Good- man said he has been retained to handle the appeal. Mr. Good- man is believed to have arranged’ the bond demanded by immigra- tion officials. Amount of the bond could not be learned. The three were ordered not to lcaie Halifax but no restriction \\as placed on their -novcmcnts within the city. Reliable sources in Toronto say the $50,000 home in exclusive For- est Hill is owned jointly by Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs. 'Only the business and personal assets of Jacobs and Morris alone come under the jurisdiction of Chartered Trust Company of To- ronto.

Nor is a $25,000 Summer cottage on Lake Simcoe, owned jointly by Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Morris. Chartered Trust sold an $18,000 speedboat owned by Jacobs to help liquidate his debts. HEAVY MORTGAGE \ Reliable sources say the 517980’ boat, like nearly all other Morris- Jacobs assets, ‘ ‘as heavily mort- gaged and actually their liabili- ties exceed the value of their as- sets. Chartered Trust sold the land and buildings of Lenmore Motors for $167,000 to Colonial Finance. Colonial held a $159,000 m.ortg3g.€ on the property. .'he business 15 still closed. Other reliable informants say Morris is Jacobs’ father. In To- ronto they were known as nephew and uncle. While in England the two are understood to have had the sur- name Plesuer. They left a car- selling business in England to come to Canada in 1951. In ‘Halifax Fight HALIFAX (CP) -- Gunfire echoed down North Street as Frederick Hall, 25, battled it out with seven sailors.
