Wide Variety Of Issues Discussed : Ottawa, March 31 -- (CP) -- The | conduct ,of Russia, Parliament's | handling of national finances and a western duel over Eastern Cana- da came up for comment in the Senate Wednesday as #t considered a variety of items. { Both Senator Wishart Robertson, government leader, and Senator John T. Haig, Progressive Conser- Vative chief, expressed strong ap- proval of the Atlantic pact in dis- cussion a resolution putting forward its principles for consideration. Senator Robertson said the value ot the treaty lay "in the moral trust we place in each of its intended sig- natories." It had become necessary because Russia, in the United Na- tions, had shown that it intended | te spread Communism by using the U.N. as a shield. Senator Haig warned that "there's no use denying it--Russia is getting ready for war. . .(But) they may not go to war if they know we are getting ready for them." He said Canada should recognize her obligations under the military alliance. He had returned from the 1046 U.N. meeting "sick and dis- couraged" over the manner in which Russian delegates sought to usc the body for their own ends. The handling of the Nation's federal budget came up as Senator Robertson proposed that the Senate find some way, probably through committee studies, of dealing in de- tail with the budget and estimates. He offered this as an answer to perennial charges that the appro- priations are dumped in the Sen- ate's lap at the last minute, Sena- tor Robertson suggested that com- mittees could consider the items at the same time as the Commons does, rules or no rules. There was general approval with Senator Arthur Roebuck (L--On- tario) deploring the present system | of having the Commons consider the estimates in committee of the whole with little detailed study as "appalling" and "farcical." No County Council would be guilty of such methods, he said. The Senate now has little to do with either the budget or estimates. The clash over east-west came as the chamber approved a vote of $234,000,000 as interim supply in advance on the 1949-50 estimates. One figure covered the federal sub- sidv on western feed grains for the past. ! Senator Haig considered it unfair soi Toronto, March 31.--(CP) -- A | country-wide vote on how televis- i-1 sk .ld be controlled was advo- catcd Wednesday night by R. A. Hackbush, president of the Cana- dian Radio Technical Planning Board. Mr. Hackbush told a meeting of radio technicians here that Ca- nadians should "be very careful in deciding whether the controlling medium . . , is a proper one." He suggested formation of a separate communications board which should regulate both television and broadcasting.

LE ER Toronto, March 31 --(CP)-- A 19-year-old Toronto youth today faces a charge of assault on Stanley Poynton, who was kicked aid beaten into uncon- sciousness last Friday while trying to break up a 'street- corner fight here. John Bax was arrested last night in his home and later released on $1,000 bail.

The west, he said, should never forget the generosity of the east during the depression, yy THE DAILY TIMES- Combining The Oshawa Times and Wady Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 8--No. 76 OSHAWA-WHITBY, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949 PAGE THIRTEEN Patriotic Debate In Parliament Ottawa, March rch 31--(CP)--A pro- posal that "O Canada" be adopted as this country's national anthem stirred the Commons to patriotic ed support.

By The Canadian Press Winnipeg police practices are to be looked into by a commission of inquiry appointed by the Manitoba Attorney-General, J. O. McLenag- hen. The investigation arises from charges in Manitoba's Provincial Parliament that Winnipeg police as a general practice bar persons tak- en into custody from getting in touch with relatives, lawyers and friends -- sometimes for several hours 'after the arrested person is put in the cells. G. 8. Thorvaldson (PC;W peg), who brought up the matter in the Legislature, cited 10 cases which he said involved persons held incommunicado by police for sever- al hours. He said that, in one case, police handcuffed a prisoner to cell bars after he tried to attract atten- tion so he could telephone home. In another case, a man arrested after a collision in which he was severely injured was denied a doc- tor, Mr. Thorvaldson said.
