~ BASSET-STYLE BA OTTAWA (CP) -- Government supporters in the Senate, de- feated in the first round of the fight over the government's ta- riff bill, Thursday postponed the showdown battle until next week. The move came on the heels of a Liberal opposition move in the Senate banking committee which struck at a key section in the controversial bill -- the proposal to give the revenue minister arbitrary powers to make final tariff rulings with- out right of appeal. An amendment by Senator Da- vid Croll (L--Ontario) to provide for an appeal to the tariff board from the ministerial decisions was carried by the Liberal ma- jority on a committee vote of 18 to 8. A few hours later, when the amended bill came before the Senate itself, Senator Walter Aseltine, government leader in the upper house, asked that de- bate be postponed until the next sitting--next Tuesday evening. Senator Aseltine had told the committee earlier that the amendment would "defeat the| main purpose of the bill and render it ineffective." There appeared little doubt that the big Liberal majority in the Senate--72 members com- pared with 25 Progressive Con- | Set Hearing Tariff Bill Fight Delayed 'Credentials servatives -- will approve the amendment. If it does, the altered bill will be sent back to the Commons which has already approved the original version. The Commons, with its big Conservative ma- jority, has the choice of accept- ing or rejecting the amendment. In cases of deadlock between the two houses, there is provi- sion for a joint committee to work out differences over leg- islation. Only once before since the Conservative g o v ernment took office in 1957 has the opposition majority in the Senate changed a major government bill. That happened last July, on a meas- ure covering compulsory retire- ment of judges at the age 75, and the Senate amendment was accepted by the Commons. The present bill adds fuel to the long-standing--and still un- decided -- dispute over whether the Senate has the constitutional right to amend a government money bill.

The newspaper, quoting an unnamed source it described as usually well-informed, said in a dispatch from Ciudad Trujillo the 22-year-old Rhadames, an army captain, has been held since then 'in preventive deten- tion on orders of his brother, Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr. The newspaper said the younger Trujillo was conspicu- ously absent from a memorial service held Thursday for his father. Licences Planned For Small Boats OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment is considering regulating and licensing all small boats--| including sailboats and perhaps rowboats -- Transport Minister Balcer said in the Commons Thursday. He said amendments to the Canada shipping Act, currently {before the Commons for ap- {proval, will give the govern- e ment authority to make regula- q|tions covering all small boats. ", . . What we intend to do Railway President Target For Attacks OTTAWA (CP) -- Burly Don- ald Gordon, president of the CNR since 1950, was the target Thursday of one of the strong- est attacks ever launched in the Commons against a federal pub- lic servant. He was described as overlording, arrogant, inhu- man, haughty and the number one enemy of national unity. The attackers were three Pro- gressive Conservative back- benchers who demanded that the government remove Mr. Gordon as head of the railway. The 59-year-old president earns $75,000 yearly including direc- tor's fees. Mr. Gordon was attacked by Louis Joseph Pigeon, Joliette- L'Assomption - Montcalm; R. Hardy Small, Toronto Danforth, and Roderick Webb, Hastings- Frontenac, during debate on the estimates of Transport Minister Balcer. CALLS 'DISGRACEFUL' At the same time Lionel Che- vrier (L--Montreal Laurier), a former transport minister, said it was "disgraceful" that the government had failed to an- nounce whether Mr. Gordon is to continue as head of the rail- way system. Mr. Gordon's regular term as president expired last Septem- ber and the government has n yet his reappoi ment. He is continuing in his job on a day-to-day basis. Mr. Pigeon said Mr. Gordon should be put in storage like an old steam locomotive when it is ot a + extend the power of regulation and licensing to cover other| replaced by a diesel. He was de- "Personally, I think the gov- ernment would be well advised to dispense with his services," said Mr. Small. He did not be- lieve that Mr. Gordon has the "good wishes" of Canadians. Mr. Webb said Mr. Go is "overlording and arro ." He said that after speaking with many railway workers it be- came evident to him that the CNR president "is almost inhu- man and has the attitude of a dictator." SENATOR IS CRITIC Senator Jean-Francois Pouliot (L. -- Quebec) told the Senate Thursday that Mr. Gordon is trying to run the CNR single- handed. The CNR board of di- rectors could put a check on him but Mr. Gordon did not con- sult his directors. Mr. Gordon's continued presi- dency of the CNR came before the Commons after Douglas Fis- her (CCF--Port Arthur) asked Mr. Balcer when the CNR pres- ident will appear for examina- tion before the Commons rail- ways committee. He does so an- nually. The refusal of the minister, Mr. Fisher said, to give a firm date for Mr. Gordon's appear- ance has given rise to specu- lation -- perhaps unfounded-- that the CNR president has de- clined to come until the govern- ment clarifies his position. At this point Mr. Chevrier asked Mr. Balcer to comment on a recent suggestion in the Senate by Senator Gunnar Thor- valdson of Winnipeg, president tested by CNR employees. servative Association, that the - management and administration of the CNR be split into two divisions. Mr. Gordon now holds both these responsibilities. NOT IN SENATE i Mr. Balcer"s only reply was that government policy is never announced in the Senate. He did not comment on the demands ~ that Mr. Gordon be removed. Art Smith (PC -- Calgary South), while stating that some . of the criticisms of Mr. Gordon are based on fact, said he hopes no member would assume that because the CNR has a substan- ~ tial deficit "the : responsibility should be borne by the presi- dent of the railway." : Mr. Gordon, he said, was well able to defend himself. But * there appeared to be an inclin- ation by some members to hold the CNR president responsible for the difficulties in which the railway found itself. : Mr. Pigéon described Mr. Gordon as the "number one en emy of national unity." He had recently com m i tted anothet "sin" by naming another nom bilingual vice-president. "Out of 17 CNR vice - presi- dents not one is bilingual," Mr. Pigeon said. Mr. Small said he had heard reports that Mr. Gordon had been offered a position with the Chase National Bank in New York at an annual salary of $125,000. "I would say that if he were wise he would take it" Mr. Small said.

Each minister will visit a dif- ferent part of the Common- wealth to save time. It had previously been re- ported either that Prime Minis- ter Macmillan himself would visit Commonwealth ecap- itals or that a meeting of prime ministers would be held in Lon- don to consider the implications of British entry into Europe.
