Dec. 14 - (CP) - Ways of easing the impact of freight-rate increases on long- d-ista-nce shippers - such as those of the Prairies and the Mari- times - are being studied by the Board of Transport Commission- ers. its head said today- Mr. Justice and provincial counsel a. study of this kind has been launched.' as he heard argument in the railways' application for a gen- eral 10-per-cent increase in rates. Consider "Taper" The new chief commissioner, who has been mshuffling long- esta-bllshed board practices since he took office only a few weeks ago, said the board has asked its traffic department to investigate the problem of "taper." This is the method whereby the rate per mile on traffic is tapered down as the distance of a. freight haul increases. The province: opposing rate increase; - all except Ontario and Quebec -- have contended during t last. few years that long- h 1 traffic bears an unfair share of the percentage rate increases that have been granted by the Transport Board. The chief commissioner said today a change in the rate of "taper" might stave off some of the complaints against general rate increases. "If it is found that this is it way of taking the sting out of percentage increases." he said.

Quebec Conservatives Split With Party On Dominion Issue OTTAWA, Dec. 14 -(CP) -The Progressive Conservative Party's two members from. Quebec today split with other members of their party and supported a. government move to eliminate the word "Dom- inion" from the Federal Election Act. In a 2 I-4-hour debate. at times (PC-Trois Rivleres) and Henri Oourterna-nche (PC-Lebelle) congratulated the government on its plans to elimin- ate the word "dominion" from Canadian legislation. Their views were diametrically opposed to those of other Pro- gressive Conservatives. including E. D. Fulton (Kamloops): J. M. Macdonnell (Toronto Greenwood); Howardgcreen (Vancouver Qua- dra); C. W. Hodgson (Victoria, Ont.) W. Chester S. McLure (Queen's) and Julian Ferguson (Simooe North). ' Postmaster General Rinfret said the split indicated that the Pro- gressive Party had one policy for Quebec and another for the rest of Canada. The debate centred on the first clause of a 54-clause bill baking a series of technical amendments to the elections act. The first changed the title from Dominion Elections Act to Canada Elections Act. The bill was given third read- ing and adopted "on dlvision"- without a formal vote. It now goes to the Senate. other Changes Urged During the general discussion. Gordon Graydon (PC-Peel) and George Hees (PC-Toronto Broad- view) urged that the polls close at 7 p. in. instead of ti p. m. to allow more people. particularly in ur- ban cenivres the opportunity to vote. b Robert Fair (SC-Battle River) and J. A. Ross (PC--Sourls) urged that the voting system be changed so that voters would mark their ballots in the order of preference. This sy'st&1 hvfrlihe single transfer- able vote would make it necessary for a candidate to obtain a mai- ority of the votes cast in order to win an election. Mr. Fulton. a lawyer from Kam- loops. B. C., launched the dis- cussion on the proposal to elim- inate the word dominion from the elections act. He described the proposal as "stupid and absurd." Mr. Hodgson said the people of Canada were attached to the word dominion and did not want to see it eliminated. Mr. Courtemanche said he had great respect for the British Em- pire but. it was time Canada did away with colonial ties. It was as Canadians and not as colonials that the people of this country had consented to great sacrifices during the two world wars. Mr. Balccr said it was unfort- unate that he, as a Conservative, had to congratulate the govern- ment for changing the name of flows In Brief TORONTO.

Dec. 15-(Sate urday)-(AP)-Allied and Com- munist truce negotiators return to Panmumjom today amid indi- cations of cautious compromise on two thorny issues-prisoner ex- change and troop rotation. To- day's sessions were slated for 11 am. (9 p.m.. EST. Friday). Twelve days remain to meet the agreed- upon Dec. 27 deadline for an arm- lstlca 1951 the elections act. Dictionaries defined domlnionas meaning something that was sub- ject to a sovereign. obedience. servitude, slavery and submission. Mr. Balcer said he believed mem- bers would agree that such terms did not apply to Canada. Sir John A. MacDonald and Sir George Etienne Cartier. two "great" Conservatives, were of the opinion that the name of the new Canadian federation in 1867 should be "Kingdom of Canada' and not "Dominion of Canada." The government's change was in line with the views of the Fathers of Confederation. Mr. Rinfret congvratula-led liir. Balcer and Mr. Courtemanche for their stand. During the debate, Mr. Green had told how he had been proud to wear the Canadian uniform during the First World War. Mr. Rinfret said that uniform-bore one word 'Canada" and not "The Dominion of Canada." Bona Arsenault (L-Bcnaven- ture), who broke with the Con- servative Pariy in 1944 because of its stand on conscription. said he, too. wished to congratulate Mr. Baker and Mr. Courte- manche. There no longer was any basis for the term "Domin- ion of Canada." Canada had ceased to be a dominion in 1931 when the Statute of Westminster gave all members of the Com- monwealth full autonomy. Re-entering the debate at this point. Mr. Fulton said the Eng- lish-apeaking people do not feel that the word dominion means subordination to anyone. He was sorry Mr. Belcer had not con- sulted dictioneries Which des- cribed dominions as sovereign. autonomous states having a com- mon link with the crown. He could not understand why the Liberals insisted that the word dominion be eliminated from the English version of the- elections act. The corresponding title in the French version was "LI Lol Des Elections Federales." Mr. Macdonnell said that no one in the Progressive Conserva- tive Party has a. feeling of sub- servience to any country other than Canada. Mr. Ferguson said an end should be put to the concerted attack on historical connections with Britain and France. Mr. McLure said the term Do- minion of Canada should be re- tained.

Ranging from about four to 14 per cent, they-go to some 164.000 persons and add roughly s40,000.- 000 a year to the existing govern- ment payroli of about S5l5.000,000. About 85,000 members of the armed forces. 75,000 civil servants and 4.000 members of the R. C. M. P. get the raises. Officials said boosts for others of the country's 120,000 tclvli scr- vants new are being worked out. Today's'lncrenres, the first since December last year, won't appear on salary and pay cheques until January. Civil Service Says Too Low Civil Service Association spokes- men described lhe increases as "too low." They said they were below recommendations made by the service organizations and too small to compensate for the rising in living costs since the last gov- ernment raise. The armed forces scales provide monthly increases of S8 in basic pay and 84 in subsistence allow- ance for privates, seamen and aircraftmen-the lowest'i-anks in the army. navy and air force. These rise to a maximum of S13 basic and S7 subsistence for the highest non-commissioned officers. Increases for officers vary from S8 to S95 in basic pay. according to rank. end from S4 to 860 for subsistence. Trades pay is increased and. for the first time in army history. fully-trained infantry men and other trained combat soldiers will draw speclallst's pay of so a month. The foreign service allowance. previously limited to men. has been extended to officers and the outfit allowance for newly-com- mlsstanad officers is lifted to 3375 from 3250. j The service increases so to the reserves as well as the active forces and to members of the I eclal force fighting in Korea a d women in the three services. The new rates mean that a fully-trained private new will re- ceive 0152 a month. including sub- sistence allowavice, against 0140.

Similar increases will apply to equivalent ranks in the navy and air force. R. C. M. P. Increases The increases for the R.C.M.P. range from 515 a month for third class constables with their train- ing completed to 530 for sergeants and staff sergeants. For commis- sioned R.C.M.P. officers. they range from 535 for sub-inspectors to 566 in the rank of deputy com- missioner. The annual pay of a third class R.C.M.P. after completion of training new - will be 32,220 against 32.040. A sergeant will get 53,960 instead of 53.600. The Civil Service raises cover of classifications and jobs such as clerical, postal. cus- toms and other government posi- tions whose rates compare most easily with industry. Prime Minister St. Laurent said the Government feels its salary and pay scales should be suffi- cient to "attract and retain per- sons of the right type and ne- cessary qualifications."

Doc. 14-- (CF)----The prized franchise for carrying crude oil from Alberta to the west coast was awarded today to Train Mountain Oil Pipeline Com- pany. which plans to throw an 882,000,000 pipe over the Rockies.
