"One of Metro's big mistakes was to drop grants to hospitals in 1954," Mr, Lewis said, "They have just resumed but some other municipalities are still "smd bigger gran's than Metro It was the dropping of the grants, he suggested, that help- ed create an acute shortage of hospital beds in the Metro area. Mr. Walker asked commission chairman Dr. J. B, Neilson whether he had any comment on the application of the Regis- tered Nurses Association of On- tario for collective bargaining. Dr. Neilson said he preferred not to comment at this stage, but said 'we're a little disturbed about it."

BAR pri Ars $100 Million In Credits CAIRO (AP) -- The United Arab Republic got $100,000,000 worth of credits from East Germany Monday and. visiting East German President Walter Ulbricht declared that the U.A.R. is "heading toward so- cialism."* The economic aid, with teeh- nical and culturai assistance thrown in, fell about $90,000,000 short of what West German of- ficials estimated would be going the U.A.R.s way but for the diplomatic row Ulbricht's visit has caused. West Germany has declared it is standing by its announced threat to cut Egyrt off its aid list if the Communist was re- ceived here as a head of state. Up to now, West Germany has phe more than $400,000,- 000 in aid to Nasser's regime while the East Germans sent about $25,000,000, Sources in Ulbricht's party said the East Germans had told Nasser that major financial aid to Egypt is 'beyond our means." Included in the package are $31,920 worth of equipment for an Egyptian copser and alu- minum factory and $3,000,000 for the import of an aluminum fac- tory with a 1,000-tsn annual ca- pacity.

Diefenbaker's old num- bers game with the government. For more than half an hour Mr, Caouette exasperated three cabinet ministers in the Com- mons who tried to explain why Quebec might use the federal numbering system for the Can- ada Pension Plan even though the province is to have a sep- ara van. : Tr, Caougpte, a zealous guar- dian of Quebec autonomy, ob- jected to the federal govern- ment "imposing" the social in- surance numbering system on Quebec. Labor Minister MacHachen, Health Minister Judy LaMarsh and Revenue Minister Benson jargued there was no coercion invelved---Ottawa had offered the system and Quebec could reject it if it wanted. The system, compulsory for all contributors to unemployment insurance and the pension plan, was criticized severely by Mr, Diefenbaker more than a year ago. He saw it as a bureaucratic technique that would invade the rights of Canadians by having all on a national index, Mr, MacEachen told the Com- mons that already about 6,314,- 000 persons--many in Quebec-- have been registered with the social insurance numbers, Miss LaMarsh said when large numbers of persons are involved in a plaa, a number- ing system is necessary to keep track of the 50,000 persons with the surname Smith--more than 10,000 having "J" for their first initial The system would ensure ac- Real Damns 'Numbers' As Rights Invasion REAL CAOQUETTE another, she added, If Quebec used the national system this py would hold true for 0 provinces--and Quebec could save money by us'ng an estab- lished plan. She said use of the national numbers would in no way mean that the similar Quebec pension plan is not completely separate, After Mr. Caouette had pur- sued his argument for some time, Mr. Benson finally said Quebec is free to use Roman, Latin or German numerals if it wishes, He 'drew laughter from Con- servative benches when he said the system used "bilingual num- bers," The Commons today enters its seventh day ot clause-by- clause study of the contributory curate payments to persons moving from one province to plan. Several amendments rec- ommended by a joint parlia- mentary comm*»ttee have passed automatically but sev- eral contentious amendments are expected soon trom the Con- servatives. During the afternoon an amendment was approved for a clause that guards against "scheming gold - diggers," as Miss LaMarsh calls them, bene- fiting from "death-bed mar- riages" to "some nice old cod- ger who's about to expire." The amended clause says if the health minister is satisfied a contributor at the time of marriage was in such a poor state of health that he could not be expected to live a year, the survivor benefit for his widow will be witheld. Tom Barnett (NDP--Comox- Alberni) and NDP Leader Dous- las questioned the latitude al- Goel the minister but Miss La- Marsh said few cases would ever reach the minister.

A majority of aldermen last night felt the public should be notified in advance as to when} the matter would be discussed, rather than discuss it last night. Mayor Lyman Gifford told council the Department of Mu- nicipal Affairs had turned down a request by 65 taxpayers to establish a commission to in- quire into " implied irregulari- ties" in the civic administra- tion which resulted in the re- signation of the city's director 'Cahill Affair' Tabled For March Meeting "I don't intend to throw any wood on the fire and that's that," said Ald. Cephas Gay, adding that he did not see any advantage in having a meeting at all. Ald. Clifford Pilkey said there were 'some alleged statements made" and that he would like to answer them. He said he was prepared to discuss the matter last night and that it was not necessary to delay the discus- sion. Ald, Gordon Attersley suggest- ed the public should be notified in advance of the discussion and of operations, Kevin Cahill. Ald, Christine Thomas agreed. Ald. Hayward Murdoch, Ald. John Brady and Ald. Margaret Shaw also favored discussing the matter at a later date. Ald. Norman Down, Ald. Rich- ard Donald, Ald, Alice Rear- don, Ald.

French Vital Lesage Says MONTREAL (CP) -- Premier Jean Lesage Monday termed pre-eminence of the French lan- guage in Quebec "a vital neces- sity" to assure survival of French culture in Canada and to increase Canada's resistance against possible engulfmen by United States culture. He told the Liberal Reform Club here that by "pre-emi- nence" he means that all French - speaking federal gov- ernment personnel. -- whether civil servants, employees of Crown corporations or military and police personnel--must be jable to use French in their work jin Ottawa, | Mr, Lesage said the govern- iment does not intend to legis- late in favor of one language in Quebee because ."'this would be putting the cart before the horse." He said the: position of the French language 'will not be improved thro gh _legisla- tion but rather through a will- ingness of Quebecers made clear by acts and examples." Mr, Lesage was critical of the use of English text-books in French institutes of higher learning. City council went on record last night in support of any move to have higher educational facilities located in Oshawa. Ald, Richard Donald's motion to this effect was approved by éouncil. The motion read; "Whereas in recent weeks there has been widespread pub- licity concerning the new ap- proach to higher education in the province and whereas it would be in the best iaterests of all the people of this city if insti- tutions of higher education were \located in Oshawa; "Therefore, be it resolved that city council acknowledges the tremendous need for increased educational facilities and the council stands ready at times to aid in any way pos sible, any individual or group in an effort to obtain for Oshawa, such facilities." Ald, Donald suggested the city would benefit by having a teacher's college located in the city. He said he understood the prospects "are quite dim" that a university will be established in Oshawa because of plans to build one in Scarborough. A "lot of misuaderstanding" is taking place over the Cen- tennial pool project," Ald, Rich- ard Donald told city council last night, "There is a certain amount of discussion and lobbying going on. insofar as the pool archi- tect is concerned." said Ald. Donald. "I've be2n lobbied to the extent that I'm sick and tired of it... I've been told an architect has been hired and I've been told a lot of other things too." Council approved Ald. Don- lad's motion that council meet in committee with an auditor- ium committee at the earliest possible date " to institute the Centennial project'. The auditorium committee has agreed to raise $150,000 by public subscription in addition to Centenary Pool Project Object For 'Lobbying' the $183,000 Centennial grant, in order to build the pool.
