'65 Estimates Indicate Spending Year 4 JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--How high the record federal spending pro- gram for 1965-66 will ultimately | go depends on the extent to which the government will move into costly new projects. At $8,304,727,432, it already is 8.7-per-cent larger than the ini- tial spending program for 1964- 65 announced one year ago, $7,- 585,000,000. But the bill for the fiscal year now ending has grown to $8,052,257,838. The basic program for the 'new fiscal year starting April 1 already is 3.1 per cent higher than that. cause the government's invest- ment in the 1967 World Exhibi- tion in Montreal has passed its peak, Federal general elections fre- quently are foreshadowed by in- creased spending on agriculture and public works. In the 1965-66 program, agri- culture department estimates at $121,815,100 are up $13,100,000 from the current year's original estimate of $108,700,000, which grew to a final estimate of $172,- 247,040.

This is higher than both 'the original 1964-65 estimate of $205,900,000 and the year-end estimate of $210,523,702. In a statement accompanying his blue book of estimates, Mr, Gordon said no real assessment of the spending program for 1965-66 can be made until the prospective outlay is assessed in his annual budget. He is ex- ipected to present his budget next month, early in the new parliamentary session. He noted there is one field in which the new estimates are well over the mark, They show an increase of $127,000,000 in subsidies and special compen- general election year, the pres- sure mounts on the government to find new vote-attracting pol- icies. To the extent they: cost money, the estimates tabled in the Commons Monday by Fi- nance Minister Gordon will grow even larger. | NOT LISTED At that, they do not contain money for some programs the) government is almost bound to renew. The municipal winter works incentive program and the bonus for winter - built houses alone cost $50,000,000 a} year and were not listed in the! basic spending program for 965-66 More than half of the money in the new expenditure budget goes into four main spending streams, --Th departments of na- tional defence and defence HIGHLIGHTS OTTAWA (CP)--Highlights of the 1965-66 estimates tab- led in the Commons today: Total federal spending of $8,304,727,432, up 8.7 per cent in one year including $905,000,- 000 for old age pensions, Defence expenditures up to $1,550,000,000, an increase of $25,000,000 over the current years.

Drinking Age Review: Undertaken By LCBO TORONTO (CP)--The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is re- viewing a law that makes it il- legal for anyone under 21 to drink at home, a_ legislature committee was told Monday. The board may make recom- mendations to the government} about the age-restrictions law, Chief Liquor Commissioner G. H. Sheppard said. "Maybe it should be 18, maybe 16--what should it be?" he said, appearing before the standing committee on commissions. "The difficulty is that if you say they can drink at 18 or 16, you are interpreted as saying they should drink at 18 or 16," He was answering Donald MacDonald, New Democratic Party leader, who said more adults are allowing their chil- dren under 21 to drink wine in their homes, The fact that the law forbids igiving a youth 18 to 21 a glass lof wine in his home is "almost unbelievable," Mr. MacDonald said. In Niagara Falls, 19-year-olds can't drink in Ontario but they can if they go across the border to Niagara Falls, N.Y., he said. Mr. Sheppard agreed with the NDP leader that the board should take a look at the law rather than winking at viola- tions of it. Col. C, E. Woodrow, board so- licitor, said there have been no prosecutions in recent years of teen-agers drinking at home, Mr. Sheppard also announced that prospective purchasers will soon be able to see liquor labels before they buy.

He told Stephen Lewis (NDP--Scarbor- ough West) that no complaint had been launched under the provisions of the code. U.S. Attempts To Rectify Old Injustice TORONTO (CP) -- The civil] rights momentum built up in| recent years in the United States will accelerate until so- cial, economic and political in- justices are wiped out, George W.

Commenting on criticism of the liquor board's decision to reduce THE DAY IN OTTAWA By THE CANADIAN PRESS MONDAY, March 22, 1965 The Conservative opposition, led by former agriculture minister Alvin Hamilton, re- sumed its attack on the gov- ernment's opting-out legisla- ture. Finance Minister Gor- don presented the govern- ment's main spending pro- gram for the new fiscal year, up 8.7 per cent to $8,304,727,- 432 from a year earlier. Opposition party leaders criticized the government's handling of the case of Mul- ford Q. Sibley, the American professor barred by the im- migration department.

He said the companies were far from pleased about. the board's decision. He did not know of any industry in which competition is fiercer. Arthur Reaume (L -- Essex North) had said that the brew- eries do not compete. The board moved to limit the number of salesmen to 60 for each brewery by dan. 1, 1966, after a 26-year-old Ryerson Polytechnical Institute student died in an auto crash following a fraternity beer-drinking con- test which had a trophy offered by O'Keefe's. The companies have told Mr. Sheppard that they will absorb the former salesmen by trans- ferring them to other jobs. The commissioner said he would investigate a television beer commercial by O'Keefe's in which~according to Leo Troy (L -- Nipissing) -- either chil- dren or midget women are be- ing used. Col. Woodrow said the board had never approved such a commercial, described by Mr. Troy as having females, stand- ing on a dock, dressed in sweat- ers spelling out a brand name.
