| Opposition Fights Bill To Give Judges 20% Salary Increase But Bill Gets First Reading In Spite Of y Inflation Ottawa (CP) -- The Commons, shooting ' for a° summer adjourn- ment some time this week, ran headlong yesterday into time-con- suming opposition to a government | bill to give judges a 20-per-cent in- crease in pay. The measure finally won first reading, but only after the Pro- gressive Conservatives urged that it be deferred at least until the fall session and the CCF and So- cial Credit groups suggested it be dropped altogether. The opposition generally . was was based on the argument that this is not the time to raise salar- ies of one specific group when the people as a whole are fighting in- flation. The CCF forced a formal divis- ion on-a government motion to go into committee on the preliminary resolution. The motion carried 144 to 24, but the vote produced a mi- nor split in the Liberal and Pro-| gressive Conservative ranks, Voting against the motion with the CCF and Social Credit groups were John Sinnott (L--Springfield), Douglas Harkness (PC--Calgary East), Percy Black (PC--Cumber- land), R. H. McGregor (PC--York East), P. E. Gagnon (Ind---Chicou- timi) and Dr. Raoul Poulin (Ind-- Beauce). A bill making a series of changes in the Criminal Code was adopted after Justice Minister Garson ac- ceded to a Progressive Conserva- tive request for withdrawal of a section which would have allowed | police to check on telephone calls from places suspected of being gambling houses. The new provision had been requested by the Ontar- io Government, Also approved was a measure re- vamping federal control over dairy products and substitutes moving interprovincially. First reading" was given a bill providing for elections in the Northwest Territories and making minor voting alterations. Burglars Bop Bobbie Brutally Iver, Bucks., England (CP) -- Three prowlers slugged a police- man near "the Coppins" Tuesday when the officer caught them siz- ing up the Duchess of Kent's wind- ows. "The Coppins" is the duchess' 14-bedroom Georgian mansion here. The duchess was in London when the melee broke out. A policeman surprised the prow- lers shortly after midnight. They knocked him flat and beat a re- treat. A police hunt for the men is under way. The mansion was not entered, police said. It was the latest in a series of raids on Royal homes. A year and a day ago a man broke into Mar- lborough House, the London home of Queen Mary. He was sentenced to eight years in prison for stab- bing with intent to rob housekeep- er Mrs. Alice Knight. In October a man broke into Buckingham Palace while the King was with a shooting party at Sand- ringham. The intruder made off with a dispatch case. Since then greater security measures have been taken at all Royal homes. The Duches of Kent, 41, is the widow of the King's brother, George, Duke of Kent, killed in a wartime air crash. ® Ask New Authority For Maitland River Listowel, Ont.

Ottawa (CP) -- The fourth ses- sion of Canada's 21st parliament was highlighted by passage of major improvements to the coun- try's social-security program. While authorizing the fulfilment of military and other commitments aboard, members passed legis- lation covering part of a $400 mil- lion program of pensions for Can- ada's aged and blind persons. They are to return in October to complete the program. A bill was passed authorizing the federal government to share on a 50-50 basis with the provinces the cost of $40-a-month pensions to the needy between 65 and 69. About 145,000 Canadians are ex- pected to qualify. Also approved was a bill author- izing the federal government to enter into agreements with the provinces for payment of $40-a- month pensions to needy blind persons 21 and over. Eligibility provisions were eased in the new legislation MEANS TEST Still to be considered is a bill authorizing the federal government to pay $40-a-month pensions to persons 70 and over regardless of means. Pensions of $40 a month-some provinces pay a bit more-now are paid to needy persons 70 and over. The federal government pays 75 per cent of the cost and the prov- inces the remainder. It is expected that 860,000 Cana- dians will receive pensions under the new program when it goes into effect next Jan. 1. The pen- sions for those 70 and over will be financed out of contributions. The government has yet to dis- close how much each Canadian will be asked to pay. There has been speculation that a special social-security tax will be imposed. During the five-month session, members approved a budget pro- viding for increased personal and corporation income taxes and for higher sales and excise taxes. Restrictions on consumer credit were tightened as an anti-infla- tionary move. AID TO ASIA A sum of $25 million was voted as an initial contribution to the Colomobo plan for aid to the south and southeast Asia. A major controversy developed when the government decided to pay $65 million to' western wheat growers in settlement of an five- year Canadain.wheat board pool established in conjunction with the former Anglo-Canadian wheat sidered the amount too small and others felt it was too large.

Too many "un- desirables," he says, are lowering the tone of Erin's ancient gypsy clan. The monarch, 26, made the dole- ful announcement yesterday in a Loughrea courtroom where the judge had just found him guilty of drunken and unkingly conduct in a public street. "Some undesirables have joined the clan and, as a result, I no long- er wish to wear the crown," Ward announced. Furthermore, he said, he's going to leave Ireland. The judge appeared little roved: He said: "I cannot comment on whether or not the king should migrate, but I will fine him 10 shilling. and six- pence." King Larry said he will nominate a successor before he leaves Ire- land. The Wards have been kings of the Irish tinkers for many gen- erations, getting their food, cloth- ing and other needs from thousands of "subjects." In return, they hended down judgment on delicate legal matters like feuds and horse- trading deals, Some tinkers -- especially those who battled the English during Ire- land's struggle for independence after the first world war -- were a bit hurt by one aspect of the lo- cal abdication crisis. Larry said he plans to join the British Army, Canada's brigade in Korea the benefits granted veterans after the second world war, A new department was estab- lished to handle Canada's $5 bil- lion defence production program for the next three years. The Canadian citizenship act was amended to prevent retention of Canadian citizenship by persons who have renounced allegiance or shown by their conduct that they are not loyal to Canada. CRIMINAL CODE CHANGES The criminal code was amended to tighten laws covering drunken driving, sex perverts and book- makers. The Indian act was overhauled to give the 135,000 descendants of Canada's original settlers greater say in the management of their affairs. Two important reports were placed before parliament. One was from royal commission on trans- portation which studied Canada's freight-rate structure for two years Legislation based on recommen- dations of the commission will be considered at the fall session. The second report was from the royal commission on arts and sciences. The government quickly acted on recommendations for fin- ancial assistance to universities and to the publicly-owned CBC. Other recommendations may be implemented this fall. Not all debates concerned leg- islation. The Senate took a close look at itself after Senator Wishart Robertson, government leader in the upper house, moved a motion calling for Senate reform. The mo- tion was withdrawn after a lengthy ' debate.

Desoronto, Ont., (CP)--When To- ronto's 400 Squadron (Reserve) re- quested air force supply officials to rush an order of baby food, bottles and nipples shortly after arriving here for a two-week train- ing period, it almost brought a full investigation. The men wanted the supplies for three adopted baby raccoons found on the station when they arrived. Canterbury Wants Cash Race Shops Canterbury, England (AP)-- Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, came out Tuesday in favor of cash betting shops for the country's horse players. The top-ranking prelate of the Church of England said that since Britons will gamble..-- law or no law -- they might just as well do it legally. The archbishop expressed his views on the problem at a confer- ence of his Canterbury diocese. The statement by the spiritual head of the church represents a major breach in its long opposition to any loosening of the British gambling laws. At present, the law permits cash betting only at the horse or dog tracks. Off-the-track handbook bet- ting is legal only on a credit basis. The poor, who can't get credit, bet cash just the same with fly-by-night street corner bookies. A royal commission on gambling brought out the cash-betting-shop solution in a report issued April 17. Parliament has so far taken no action, "The present law, about street betting is unenforceable," the arch- bishop said. "It is also unfair as between rich and poor. It must be changed. All agree about that. "Most reluctantly I feel that probably the change . proposed is the only reasonable one, and that/ under the strictest controls /t should be tried -- on the ground that it is enforceable and removes, an injustice." /) The, archbishop made it clear he is no defender of gambling. He described it as '"'an essential- ly uncreative activity" which weighs a man's social life heavily '"'on the side of materialism." Room Filled With Gas Condition Critical Sarnia (CP) -- Mrs. Alfred Pitt, 44, of Point Edward, was described in "very critical condition" at St. Joseph's hospital last night, after she was found unconscious in a gas- filled room. Mrs. Pitt was found by a fellow roomer who forced his way into the woman's room and found a gas cook stove turned | on but not lit. Huron Takes Red Craft On First Tour Tokyo (AP)--The Canadian des- troyer Huron, which took part in the Normandy landing of the sec- ond world war, captured a Com- munist junk on one of her first patrols in Korean waters. British navy headquarters said today that Lieut: T. W. Wall of Victoria, B.C., led the armed boarding party which took charge of the junk and its crew. The Huron, commanded by Rear Admiral A. K. Scott Moncrieff, is the latest addition ®o the British Commonwealth fleet. Rangoon (AP)--Burma's rolling round-the-country civil war is a close approach to perpetual motion. For 38 months loyalists and reb- els have chased each other through jungles, across rice fields and in and out of towns, This grim game of cops and rob- bers has cost the country an esti- mated $2,100,000,000, tied up near- ly 30,000 soldiers, sailors and air- men, and taken a toll of 50,000 lives. Defence costs have more than doubled since 1948. Communist action plunged the Burmese into fratricidal conflict three months after united effort won them freedom from Britain, By the-end of 1948 the urge to rebel read among the Peoples' Volunteer Organization, main gov- ernmental prop, and a section of the armed forces. It was climaxed early in 1949 by a revolt of the Ka- rens, a minority which feared an- nihilation of tribal tradition with- out a separate state. The government claims rebel strength av no rime exceeded 20,- 000. It said half this number sur- Burmese Elections Held In Midst of Civil War rendered 'under ammesty by Jan. 4, 1951. - The government claim does not tally with other estimates of rebel numbers. Breakdown figures by competent sources gave these as: Communists 12,000, Karens, 20,000, PVO's and army mutineers 14,000. It took election excitement to force the admission that security exists mainly in the imagination. Co-operatives Minister Kyaw Nyein regarded as the "brains" of the so- cialist party controlling the gove ernment, confessed that the .gov- ernment held the towns but be- yond municipal limits the rebels were in control. Much of the rice-growing delta is held by Communists and Karens who occasionally join forces in the war against the government. Apart from rice, all other induse try is at a standstill. It is against this sombre back- ground that the Burmese are holde jing elections.
