Parliament Gives Continued from page 1 enl received the benefit of the 54,000 indemnity increase. but the Opposition leader's salary was also raised to sl5.000 from 910.000, making an over-all pw boost to 527,000 from 018,000. Those raises were retroactive to last Nov. 1'1, start of the present session. The Cabinet salary increase: would take effect April 1. Mr. Howe said he doubts whet- her Mr. Drew would be plensetl with that situation. He said the Prime Minister gets a free house, but chooses to my 33.000 :1 year rent. Mr. Drew was nrnvided with a house by friends. Both rt-ct-lved free leges. Famlly security Mr. Howe said the honor going to a cwbinet minister might be enough to comnnnsatc him for . low salnry. but it was not enOll'!fl to provide security for his W1" and family The salary increases had not been sou-ht by the entire cabin:-L "ft is n movement by three or four older members who are not particularly concamnd about their and who no longer lvave dependents, They are trying own salary, to right an initiation which has been allowed to continue far too long." 8'-laries had not been increased since 1020. The 50-oer-cent incre-as iins less than that enioved by any other class during the last 34 years. Suffer Misery Mr. Glliis. former coal miner. said that the duties of cabinet min- isters have increased 500 per cent since their last my rnise in 1920. "I wouldn't accent a cabinet no"? for any money. There isn't enough money to compensate for the misery that you've got to suffer." Ministers were faced with dele- gations wherever they went. and if they were called to Vancouver or Halifax they had to go. whether they liked it or not. Mr. Gillls criticized members of his own party who have said cabi- net increases should not be made in times of unemployment and when old-age pensioners need more money. Bach arguments were not relevant. The decision should sim- ply be whether cabinet members were entitled to the increase. Suggests Differential Opposition Leader Drew said a study of the question by a select committee or royal commission would allow members to be fully informed regarding the proper amount and alternative method: of cabinet pay. He suggested a. differential in cabinet salaries to confirm to diff-l erences in posts. Experience and' responsibility had a bearing on the amount of salary paid in private business. but these were not re- cognized by the flat nlary paid all cabinet members. Finance Minister Abbott opposed Mr. Drew's suggestion of differ- ential ln salaries for cabinet mem- bers. Each member shared in the collective responsibility for the ad- ministratlon of government. Abbott Underpnld Mr. Abbott. a lawyer, said he thinks he has been underpaid since he entered the cabinet in 1045. He said men in public life should not be paid as much ea those in private business and industry. Cab- inet mlnisiera got "great personal satisfaction” from their posts. But the difference in pay should not be so great that the families of min- lsters suffered. Hazen Argue (COP-Auinibolai said the 34,000 indemnity increase is sufficient for cabinet ministers. A further 35.000 raise was "rather fantastic" in the light of present economic conditions when the gov- ernment was refusing to take my immediate action to relieve unem- ployment.

Winner's cross-appeal was sup- ported by the Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railway and by the attorney-gem eral of Canada. other provinces also intervened in support of the main appeal. The case was argued at length last November. The judgment had been awaited with interest in Can- ada. since it involves the powers of the provinces under the previ- sions of the British North America Act to legislate with regard to the use of highways as part of an interprovinclal bus service. Lord Porter, giving judgment. said the relevant sections of the British North America Act are those which state that in each province the legislature might ex- clusively make laws in relation to "local works and undertakings other than . . . lines of steam, or other ships. railways. canals, tele- graphs and other works and under- takings connecting the province with any other or others of the provinces or extending beyond the limits of the provinces." It was argued before that law lords. Lord Porter said, that Win- fically listed as being outside pro- vlncial jurlsdction. Their Lord- ships rejected this. saying it was enough. that in buses as in shlpl. there was a "connecting under- taking." i Traffic Eenhtion Lord Porter said it had also been contended that the provinces, as owner of and in control of high- ways. not only had jurisdiction over them but could regulate them in all respects. Thiar-was impor- tant because if true it meant that lnterprovincial undertakings could be "totally sterilize " by acts and regualtions of the province curtail- ing or preventing use of its roads. "Whatever provision or regula- tions a province may prescribe with regard to its roads, it. must not prevent or restrict interprovinciel traffic. This does not in my we? -prevent what is in eseense traffic regulation. but the provisions con- tained in locel statutes and regu- lations must be confined to such matters. In the present one they are not so confined." nefer-ring to Winnei-is crou-sp- peel. Lord Porter said the bus did not agree that the fact that it might be carried on otherwise than as a connecting service made it. or any part of it. any the less an intereonnectint undertlkinr Their lordship: expressed no opinion as to whether. under this ner's bus service was not apeci-i Allierton And Vicinity Mr. Peter P.

(AP) The Soviet press has exposed a "base mas- querade"-a young building tech- niclan who was a model Commu- nlst on weekdays and a religious preacher on Sundays. The young man. Andrei Semkin, 26. was considered a bright stu- dent of materialism and an ardent party member. delivering lectures on Marx-Lenin-Stalinism to his fellow workers on weekdays. The Literary Gazette exposed his activities in an article entitled "The Preacher of Kolodnya", a small town near Smolensk where, it said. be operated under the noses of local Communist party officials "asleep in their offices." It told this story: "One Sunday morning three women appeared on one of the streets of Kolodnya. They weren't like our working women. who usu- ally hurry to work. But their ap- pearance was queer-shawls pul- led low over their foreheads, hands crossed on their breasts. a glassy stare in their eyes. they even walked peculiarly.

This young man mounted the pulpit and . . . "No. he did not speak about the joys of labor. Rolling his eye: toward the ceiling. he said in A quiet. honeyed voice: ”'Dear brothers and May the bliss in your rnulilply!' "The preacher called upon the people to be passive. not to fight evil. to retreat from life and all surrounding them. to retreat from the common interests and the col- lectives. He even called on them to pray for their enemies." Fights Religion The Literary Gazette Komsomol Pravda.

It summed up Semkin's case: "A double-dealer and obscurant- lst lives for five years among them (Communist party officials) and conducts his base masquerade while party officials are smillnp complacently and satisfying them selves with his political notes an' his question sheet on Marxist stu dies.
