The letter, devoted in large part to '"'sidelights on the 1953-54 bud- get," shows us nearly doubling our federal government expenditures in three years and taking it virtu- ally in stride--give or take a groan here or there. The letter, after picturing 1949 as a year of relative stability, re- lates the circumstances of the "baby budget' of September, 1950, which followed outbreak of war in Korea, and adds: "Within a year of re-embarking on a high-level defence program, the universal old age pension legis- lation was implemented, adding thereby a third of a billion dollars to other welfare distributions of over two-thirds of a billion, "Over a rod of three fiscal years, therefpre, (1950-53) federal government financial requirements ad risen by well over $2,000,000,- "No deficit financing was co templated, and the strain of a pa: as-you-go policy on the tax-payin ability of the economy was e> pected to be severe, since infl: tionary pressures, while less acut than they had been some year gatiler, were still to be reckons with, "Through a conjunction of ci cumstances, however, - the strai, proved less than was anticipatec As a result of various factor: some domestic, others internatonz the tide of inflation seems to hav turned.

Frost, Oliver Blasts TORONTO (CP)--The third ses- sion of the 24th Ontario legislature is to be prorogued today by Lieu- tenant-Governor Louis Breithaupt. The House sat for 10 hours Wed- nesday as it strove to wind up its affairs. It adjourned shortly after midnight and meets again at 10 a.m, today. Prorogation will come with the memory of one of the hottest clashes in recent years still vivid in the members' mnds. The flare- up came Wednesday after sev- eral weeks of quiet debate when Premier Frost and Opposition Lea- der Farquhar Oliver tangled in a heated exchange. It drew a reprimand from Spea- ker Davies after he called for order and pounded his gavel in vain as cries rose from both sides of the house. Mr. Oliver rose to the defence of Albert Wren (Lib.-Lab.--Ken- ora) who had been a continuous target of the premier in a wordy battle over Ontario hydro manage- ment and a charge by Mr. Wren that the government. had given Steep Rock mines preferential treatment in hydro rates. The Kenora member called for a public inquiry into the hydro rate structure and its application to industry, charged the public utility with browbeating the mines and claimed that George Drew, when Ontario premier, had indica- ted to Steep Rock offcials that a reduction in hydro rates would be made if the company invested in mining developing in Northern On- tario. Mr. Frost repeatedly jumped to his feet to question Mr. Wren and deny statements by the Kenora member. The premier referred to member in committee last week that Mr, Wren possessed docu- mentary evidence of government promises of preferentia treatment for Steep Rock Mines. Mr. Frost Challenged Mr. yen to produce the evidence and go the oho that it Fino be obtained by applying to the company. he Th accused Mr. Wren of "McCarthyism.""

Premier Frost said "everything regarding Steep Rock was done in accordance with the statutés pas- sed in this legislature." The pre- mier went on to accuse Mr. Wren of dodging 'questions and "filmy innuendo." Mr. Oliver said at this point that he wouldn't stand for those state- ments from the premier, He said no member of the House performs his duties more diligently than Mr, Wren. "It is beneath the dignity of the Prime Minister of Ontario to sug- gest a member of this House has been guilty of filthy tactics," Mr. Oliver said. "When my honot } friend talks about the membe.. » Kenora dodging issues let me say he has learned from a great mas- ter." Mr. Oliver added: "Our method of attack is going to be decided by ourselves, not by the government.
