U.S. Agrees To Relinquish Rights Given In Long Leases Civilian Privileges Feature Change At Military Bases Ottawa, May 2--(CP)--The United States has agreed to relinquish some rights and privileges granted terms of 99-year leases on military bases in Newfoundland. Prime 'Minister St. Laurent told the Commons yester- day that after two years of negotiations the U.S. has agreed to changes in the leases signed in 1941, eight years before Newfoundland became a Canadian province. Four Newfoundland bases andy others in the British colonies were leased to the United States in ex- change for 50 over-aged destroyers. The U.S. was given broad control over both military and civilian personnel in the areas where the bases were located. i In Newfoundland, the bases are located at St. John's, Mc- Andrew, Stephenville and Ar- gentia. Mr. St. Laurent said the U.S. will retain full military con- trol, but certain civilian privil- eges will be altered. Taxation exemptions now held by U.S. contractors and civilians will be eliminated as will the right of US. military courts to try Canad- jan civilians within a certain area. 'Meet Most Requests Mr. St. Laurent described the agreement as a "reasonable com- | promise in an admittedly-unprece- dented situation." Although under no legal obligation to do so, the U.S. has met most of the specific requests originally put forward by | fhe Canadian government. He praised the co-operation shown US. authorities when, legally, they didn't have to modify the lease in any way. George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, said Mr. St. Laurent's praise would reassure those Cana- dians who were beginning to feel the two countries no longer could co-operate in the old friendly way. In announcing the agreement, Mr. St. Laurent disclosed the gov- ernment intends to place before parliament legislative measures to help Canada discharge obligations under the Atlantic Pact, including bills to-extend anti-espionage and anti-sabotage laws to protect Allied forces serving in Canada. Hit Budgets There were these other develop- ments in the Commons: 1. Opposition members renewed a campaign against a budget resolu- tion increasing the general sales e under tax to 10 per cent from eight per cent. 2. Finance Minister Abbott brought down a supplementary estimate of $2,000,000 to provide $40 - a - month supplementary payments to unemployable vet- erans to help them meet the cost of living. 3. The government moved to ex- tend civilian job protection to some members of the armed forces be- sides the special Korean force. The extension applies to members of the reserve forces joining the active services for three-year terms, The Senate, meeting for the first time since the Easter recess March 21, dealt with a variety of minor legislation. In debate on the taxation resolu- tions, Ross Thatcher (CCF--Moose Jaw) suggested that a tax on capital gains would eliminate the need for lan increase in sales and excise | taxes. : | sistant to Finance Minister Abbott, |said one of the main reasons why a capital-gains tax was not imposed | in--Canad® was that it would dis- courage the investment needed to develop resources. . | Ask Tax Repeal | Several opposition members re- | peated requests for repeal of the increase in the general sales tax. | F. D. Shaw (SC--Red Deer) de-| scribed the tax as one which "goes | right into the pockets of the poorest {man in the land." ! Donald Fleming (PC--Toronto Eglinten) said the government had reduced the excise tax on candy, chewing gum and choco- late to 15 per cent from 30 per | cent because of the damage the high tax had done the industry. He believed the tax should be | repealed completely. | Mr. Sinclair said the opposition was opposed to every taxation pro- | DIAL 3-42174 | | » .* [1] James Sinclair, parliamentary as- | Commons THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 10--No, 103 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1951 PAGE THIRTEEN Japanese Freighter Left "High and Dry" Menaced by rocks, the 10,000-ton Japanese freighter, Kenoku Maru, is seen as it ran aground near Stewart's Point, some 75 miles north of San Francisco.

V. Rippingillg, Jr., G.M. Diese] president, at the controls, the locomotive roared along the one- mile test track near the plant with A. J. Lomas, vice-president, Central Region, C.N.R., and other guests in the cab, . The new diesel-electric locomo- tive, in two 1,500 h.p. units, carries the same class number -- 9000 -- as the first Canadian diesel-electric locomotive built by Z.N.R. in 1928. Start Immediately The $300,000 unit accepted by Mr. Lomas ran deadhead to Toronto on Monday and will start immedi- ately hauling freight from Mont- real to Mimico., Weighing 230 tons, the new unit will pull a normal train of 100 cars, weighing more than 5,000 tons, at 40-45 m.p.h. With lighter trains the unit will hit 65 m.p.h. The 65 m.p.h. limit is set by re- duced gear ratios for heavy haul- ing. Passenger train units are geared for higher speeds. Guests for the test run, and the brief ceremony as Mr. Rippingille handed the control lever to Mr. Lomas, included Dr. G. E. Hall, president, . University of Western Ontario; John Murphy, C.N.R. su- perintendent here; Walter J. Black- burn, publisher, The London ree Press; R. W. Sherk, sales manager, G.M. diesel; Frank McDowell, C.N.R. public relations director; and William Warner, executive assis- tant to the president, G.M. diesel. Also delivered with the 3,000 h.p unit, were two smaller switching engines. The 1951 locomotive represents the latest design in Di sel engin- eering developed during the quarter T est Run century since the first. "9000" hit the rails. The 1928 model was built in Kingston, ,with engines, electrical equipment and other parts coming from England, Scotland, United States and Canada. The engines were built by William Beardmore Co., Glasgow. Co-operative Effort Co-operating in designing the first "9000" were the C.N.R., Cana- dian Locomotive Company, Bald- win Locomotive Works, Common- wealth Steel Company and Westing- house Company. It developed 1,330 h.p. and was used largely for freight hauling. During World War II it was con- verted to an armored locomotive, hauling naval guns mounted on flat cars for use in the event of a possible Japanese invasion of thi west coast. : Set Early Record The first "9000". was the descend- ant of the oil-electric train which went into operation in 1925, and numbered "15820." This earlier unit set a record for the Montreal-Van- couver run of 67 hours. Acceptance of the 1951 model by policy to Dieselize its nation-wide lines as rapidly as possible. Savings Made Experience in the United tSates, and with the Diesels operating on Canadian lines, has shown that savings of up to 50 per cent on operating and maintenance costs are common. C.N.R, is building no new steam locomotives. C.G.E. OFFICIAL DIES Toronto, May 2 (CP) -- Frank Ernest Balson, 57, production con- troller of the Canadian General Electric Company, died Tuesday.

Rev. George H. Thomas told a meeting of the Toronto East Pres- bytery that no Protestant Church had replied to opposition by the Roman Catholic Church to some recommendations of the report. Main Roman Catholic opposition has been to a recommendation that a three-level school setup be substi- tuted for the present arrangement of primary and secondary schools. The number of years for which sep- arate schools would be supported by taxes would be reduced from eight to six under the proposal.

Abdul Hussein Ansari, head of the press and propaganda department, denied that the nationalization law, passed by both Houses of the Iran- ian legislature, means expropriation of the $1,400,000,000 company 'n which the British government has a controlling share. British Ambassador, Sir Francis Shepherd, today called on Premier Mchammed Mossadegh, «wunder whose leadership the nationalization bill was passed. He was to urge fair and moderate execution of the law, official sources said. A committee of 11, representing both houses and the government, is to take control of all the ccm- pany's assets, installations, produc- tion and oil-fields. And, Ansari said, Iran can ensure that production will continue with- out reduced output under the new management. To meet possible claims by Anglo- Iranian, up to 25 per cent of Cur- rent revenue -- after reduction of operating expenses -- would be de- posited in any bank acceptable to both parties. "The decision of the Iranian par- liament completely accords with the principles of justice," Ansari de- clared. Discusseed in London London, May 2 -- (Reuters) -- Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison today received the Iranian ambassa- dor, Ali Soheily, to discuss Iran's nationalization of the Iranian oil industry. Soheily called at the foreign of- fice after Morrison told parliament yesterday the British government wished to talk over the situation with Iran "but could not negotiate under duress."
