The New Democratic Party is also opposed to excluding the Ralph Cowan, the only Lib- eral to vote against adoption of the new Canadian flag last year, told the Commons he will oppose the budget resolution that exempts Time and Read- er's Digest magazines from tax penalties imposed against for- eign - owned publications. Mr. Cowan, member for York Humber and a former business executive with the Toronto Star, said he would favor Fi- nance Minister Gordon's pro- posal if all '"'bogus" foreign publications were included. "But I can't vote for it in its present form," he said. The resolution proposes that Canadian advertising in foreign periodicals be disallowed as a deductible business expense. The Canadian editions of Time and Reader's Digest, however, are excluded from the provis- ions.

Eighteen experts from 10 nations in a report to the World Meteorological Organ- ization Wednesday said fig- ures based on 1,000,000 indi- vidual statistics indicate that during periods of increased atmospherics -- a thunder- storm for example: Traffic accidents rise by 70 per cent, births by 11 per cent, deaths by 20 per cent, pains in chronic patients by 100 per cent, work accidents by 20 per cent, polio admis- sions by six per cent and min- ing accidents by 12 per cent. At the same time human re- actions are six per cent slower. Statistics also indicate a baby conceived in cold weather is more likely to be a boy, and in hot weather a girl, they reported. The study pointed out these figures are based on statistics. But in studies of aspects of human behavior involving such things as traffic acci- dents it claims the evidence is irrefutable. FIGURES INCREASE Accident statistics from 50 major European cities show figures increase sharply dur- ing biologically unfavorable weather, usually involving a sharp change in the level of atmospherics. . "It is most noteworthy that all researchers have been able to show that the so - called BAD WEATHER, TU | WORLD trivial weather dangers due to traffic-fog, slippery roads, glazed frost, etc played an appreciably smaller part in causing the accidents than the simultaneous disturbance to the human body, caused by the direct onset of the weather stimulus," the report said. Sudden changes in atmos- pheric levels can have a marked effect on drivers, the study claims. "The disturbance caused by weather stimuli may be es- pecially dangerous because, even without any perceptible general symptoms, a driver's efficiency may be reduced through a reduction in his power of concentration and a lengthening of his reaction time, these latter changes be- ing generally unnoticed," the | report said. Studies of the influence of weather on sex show the high- est number of conceptions of legitimate children occurs in June, and of illegitimate chil- dren in May. Referring to the effects of weather on illness, statistics indicate many diseases are aggravated by sudden weather changes. Sudden in- creases in tuberculosis have been found to occur in clinics after oppressive warm weather before thunder- storms, during humid cold foggy weather or sudden heat- waves, Other diseases notably ag- gravated by sudden weather changes are heart ailmen' asthma, hayfever, bronchitis, skin. cancer," , dolio~ myelitis, ulcers and even the common cold, the report said. By JOHN LeBLANC TORONTO (CP--A blueprint for a new municipal setup for Metropolitan Toronto was made public today by the Ontario gov- ernment and promptly stirred up political controversy. Premier Robarts commended and indicated eventual imple- mentation of the report of H. Carl Goldenberg, Montreal law- yer and municipal consultant, jrecommending consolidation of \the 13 municipalities into four jcities with continuance of the metropolitan form of govern- | ment. | But Liberal Leader Thompson attacked sections of it as "timid" and "absurd," and New Democratic Party Leader MacDonald said it appears to perpetuate rather than solve the basic problems of the Toronto area and its 1,600,000 people. Mr. Robarts said it is possible the legislature might be called into session in the fall to deal |with legislation based on the proposals but no decision on this has been made yet. It might take up to a year for action. Mr. Robarts said the govern- ment planned to consult the af- fected municipalities before tak- ing action but, if there was not agreement, '"'we're prepared to go ahead." Mr. Thompson and Mr. Mac: Donald were critical of Mr. Goldenberg for not making spe- cific recommendations going beyond the present Metro boun- daries. | "He has been trapped by the) Let Viet Nam decide its own!demonstration of apother prob-| barracks, trucks, bridges, fer-|win the war.

Britons may not accept foreign medals without royal permission. Hundreds of letters about the Beatles award cascaded into the prime minister's office at 1 Downing Street and Bucking- ham Palace. Officials said roughly two in three opposed it --but some of the opposition came from supporters of rival pop groups. "The commissioner's recom-| |mendations shy away from, rather than grapple with, the immediate problem faced by fringe municipalities," the NDP leader said. The report itself finds the metro system has worked well but now faces growing prob- lems stemming from too man political divisions, It also makes recommendations for ironing out other problems while sim- plifying the political setup. Discarding Toronto city's call for outright amalgamation of all 13 units, Mr. Goldenberg in his ,213-page report proposes formation of these four ..cities: 1, Toronto, made up of the present city and the townships of York and East.

RECOMMENDS CHANGES There would be some major changes in the administration of municipal services, particu- larly in education, with the Metro area divided into 11 school districts not related to} municipal boundaries. Under the existing setup, pop- ulations of the Metro munici- palities range between Swan- sea's 9,871 and Toronto city's 630,339 at the 1963 count. The land area ranges between 70 square miles for Scarborough jautopsy showed cause of death Contro TORONTO (CP) -- Metropol- itan Toronto, covering 240 square miles, is large enough in area for the present, in the opinion of H. Carl Goldenberg, the royal commissioner for Me- tro Toronto. In his report rel d today pa Recommends. { Fringe Areas Toronto Township," the com- missioner states, "I am of the opinion that, in the absence of other regional planning machin- ery the area covered by Bramp- ton and its vicinity should be included in the Metropolitan lanning area," Mr. Goldenberg rejects the idea of extending Metro's boundaries to take in some of the built-up fringe areas. However, he says some expansion probably will come about in due course. Meanwhile, Mr. Goldenberg recommends that Metro plan- ning authorities be given a rea- sonable degree of planning con- trol over the fringe areas. The proposed Metro official plan already takes in an area twice the size of Metro. Mr. Goldenberg says it should. be further extended to cover Brampton and part of Chingua- cousy township. "Considering the potential im- pact of further development in Brampton and Chinguacousy which would require the exten- sion of water and sewer serv- ices from Lake Ontario through The proposed official plan es- tablishes a general land use pattern, an overall distribution of population and density of res- idential development, a basic transportation pattern, basic servicing policies, and policies for the regulation of urban de- velopment. There are 13 fringe municip- alities in three counties on Metro's borders -- Peel, York and Ontario. More than 81 per cent of the land in the fringe areas is agricultural or vacant. "To incorporate areas which are still so predominantly rural into an urban complex like Metro would create complica- tions," Mr, Goldenberg says. He points out that about 30 per cent of Metro is agricultural or vacant land, giving it room for further orderly development. TORONTO (CP)--Three Tor- onto children were treated in hospital for food poisoning Wed- nesday following the death of two young boys who ate what may have been germ-infecte narfait cream cake, ing the remnants of a marsh- mellow-filled cake four days ago. Doctors had to use stomach pumps on the children, who were later released from hospi- tal. Police took samples of food for analysis.
