Opposition Parties Fail In Effort To Shake New Tax Set-Up THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE |COMMUNITY INC. ACTIVITIES Conservatives Side With Abbott In Vote On Measure PS 4 Ottawa (CP)-- Opposition groups |, tried unsuccessfully in the Com- mons yesterday to have the federal government alter 1951-52 tax pro- posals. Some members protested against increases in the sales and excise taxes, others sought to have an excess-profits tax imposed on cor- porations to relieve the income- tax burden on persons in the low- income group. The government -- once with the aid of the progressive conservatives -- rejected suggested changes. Finance Minister Abbott said re- venues are needed to meet addi- tional defence expenditures and the government has tried to spread the burden as evenly as possible. The official opposition voted with the Liberals to defeat 129 to 19 a CCF motion calling for a graduated The Social Credit party voted with the CCF. The motion was sponsored by H. W. Herridge (CCF -- Kootenay West) after Mr. Abbott called for second reading -- approval in prin- ciple -- of a bill giving legal effect to the income - tax changes an- nounced in the budget. The bill was given the reading following defeat of Mr. Herridge's proposal. Given second reading and passed through committee was a bill pro- viding for changes in the excise and sales tax. Members voted 42 to 28 against a move to force re- peal of a 25 per-cent increase in the sales tax. The budget boosted the tax to 10 per cent from eight per cent. Given third reading and sent to the Senate was a bill providing for a number of minor changes in customs: tariffs. In moving his motion, Mr. Her- ridge said that the budget slapped | a 20-per-cent defence tax on the amount people already pay in per- sonal income taxes. The CCF be- lieved this would work hardship on those in the low - income groups. An excess profits tax on corpor- ations would reduce inflation and would allow the government to ease the burden on those earning small incomes. There should, said Mr. Herridge, be equality of sacrifice in the mat- ter of taxation. Spokesmen for all opposition groups called for repeal of the in- crease in the sales tax. Mr. Ab- bott said he considered it prefer- able to another increase in income taxes. Progressive Conservative, Social Credit and CCF members voted against the increase and won sup- port from Matthew MacLean (L -- Cape Breton North Victoria) and J. L. Gibson (Ind -- Comox-Al- berm), Other Liberals supported Mr. Abbott said that unless over- all production is increased taxes ""must and should" reduce the con- sumption of everyone if the de- mands of defence production are to be met. Living standards must be reduced. M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, termed the sales tax "oppressive" and said that if Canada is going to have such levies she should also have a line of tax - free utility goods, especially in clothing for working people and children. Donald Fleming (P.C. -- Toronto Eglinton) said Mr. Abbott had made no case for raising money through the "iniquitous' sales tax. What the minister had said about the need for additional revenues to been swept aside by the surplus in April. (Mr. Abbott, who budgetted for a $30 million surplus for 1951-52, reported a surplus of $121 million for April, the first month of the fiscal year.)

L 4 OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL 10--No. 132 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1951 PAGE NINE GENERAL RAPS METHOD USED IN RECRUITING ..Ottawa (CP) - The commander of Canada's 6th division in the sec- ond world war says it is imperative that Canada bring its reserve forces to full strength now--and not tomorrow. Maj.-Gen. A.E. Potts, who gained fame and the nickname "Pirate' as leader of the Canadian raid on Spitzbergen, last night called for conscription of manpower for Can- ada's reserve troops. He told 200 former CWAC officers and other ranks at their annual re- union that the Army's method of gaining recruits by press and radio campaigns isn't good enough. The 60-year-old veteran of two world wars and now in charge or veterans affairs at Kingston, Ont, drew prolonged applause from his feminine audience. The former CWAC"s also respond- ed favorably to several new features which will be incorporated in uniforms for the Canadian Women's Army Corps reserve when it launches its expected recruiting drive soon. The uniform retains the peak cap brass buttons, form - fitting jacket, brown tie and shoés to match. But the skirt is three inches longer; nylons rgplace wartime rayon hosi- ery. The greatcoat is padded for extra warmth and a near - green khaki gabardine coat replaces the rubberized raincoat. "We're ready to join just as soon as they want us," a group of CWAC's said. Maj.-Gen, Potts in 'his address said it is a "pathetic sight' to see a reserve force unit on parade to- day. "For years our reserve force commanders and officers have been trying every possible means | to cajole men into joining their | units. . .for the most part it is a| dismal failure." "I am, convinced we will not bring our reserve forces up to strength by theuse means. I am equally convinced that it is imper- ative that we bring these forces up to strength now -- not tomorrow. "I believe that the only way this can be done is by some form of compulsory service."

This Week's Bridge We have run into a series of rather mediocre hands the last couple of duplicate games so there isn't anything to relate in regard to any particular outstanding deal. However we are overdue for some really good boards and perhaps next Monday night will produce a num- ber of them. Just to keep everything running true to form we also had new win- ners this week as has been the case for about four consecutive games. Miss Grace Burns and Mrs. N. H. Daniel were high pair for the nights play gaining 5 complete 'tops, 5 seconds and one tied for second. 'The greater majority of their good boards were well earned both on offense and defense as they played a very steady game throughout the full session. Miss H. M." Mackie and Mr. Eric Henry were second and gained; 6 complete tops, 4 seconds and 1 tied for second. These very good re- sults gave them a great advantage but unfortunately several bottom scores also were charged against them and these were just enough to offset their tops. Mrs. F. W. Frobel and Mr. M. Clarke were a close third and gain- ed 2 complete tops, 3 tied for top, 4 seconds and 1 tied for second. A strong game with the exception of canal by same person within five she slipped and tumbled into the thus made his way to shore. Last Mr. Clarke. Just a couple of more tops would have been sufficient for top standing. --Central Press Canadian.
