Member Says Airport Passenger Facilities Bad OTTAWA ' (CP) -- Opposition member William Hamilton and Transport Minister Chevrier don't|P! see eye to eye on the adequacy | of passenger facilities at Canada's| terminal airports. They differed Thursday in blunt terms during an all-day Commons discussion of transport department estimates. At one point of the discussion Mr. Chevrier said the federal gor , ernment hopes to be able to Canada's slumping shipping indus- try. However, he said there has been no change in the cabinet's y against direct subsidies for deep-sea shipping. r. Hamilton (PC -- Montreal Notre-Dame-de-Grace) said airport passenger facilities are "shame- fully inadequate in almost every case." Mr. Chevrier sald Canada's air- port facilities are "as good as any other country." The Montreal member quoted the opinions of several experts which, he said, constituted "a indictment of what this government Jroposes to foist off ta he peop of Canada at the Jreneat as adequate airport acilities." CHARGES INACCURACIES The minister charged Mr. Ham- fiton with "inaccuracies, exagger- ations, misstatements and unethi- cal practices" in his speech, and said he had ignored statements pra Canada's airports to cre- ate a false impression. Mr. Hamilton said the Uplands airport terminal at Canada's capi- tak is "little better than a shack" and lacks a restaurant. At Dorval terminal in Montreal, nt fv cents and a third for 10 cents. "I could not believe that the government would be doing any- thing quite as senseless as that." The same thing could be found in varying degrees at airports across Canada. He tangled with Mr. Chevrier a during the discussion Howard Green (PC--Vancouver- Quadra) sought o Jettaotion of the sour grapes ase An on 3 of '"'mis- Satements and unethical prac- es.' . Mr. Chevrier stood his state- and was uj by the House chairman who ruled that neither ios is unparliamentary. Mr. Hamilton quoted from a let- ter by Mr. Chevrier to the maga- zine Canadian Aviation Saying he was aware terminal facilities have not kept pace with the growth of air traffic but that he was not apologozing because the govern- ment had done all that circum- stances Jermifited, Mr. Chevrier replied that this was unethical because the rest of the letter, outlining these circum- stances, had not been quoted. Mr. Hamilton's criticisms were a farce. "We have one of the finest sys- tems of airports in th eworld, con- sidering our size and population," the minister said. SERVICES BEFORE FACILITIES The Government had considered that other airport facilities such as . runways, radio, meteorological and ting services must come be- fore passenger facilities. Canada had two long, strong runways at each of her major airports and since the end of the war had spent almost $100,000,000 on lighting, ra- dio and meteorological services. 'We must wait until we have other facilities before we can go to the fancier and better type of air terminal building." Because of her size, Canada had 10 major airports--more than Brit- ain or any other European coun- try--10 secondary airports and perhaps 105 or 110 other airports. The government now had turned to increasing terminal facilities. It had built two new terminals at Moncton, N.B., and the Lakehead in northwestern Ontario, and was MEN BLOW TOP BEFORE MEALS Studies conducted by Colum- bia University and Oregon State College show that most men who regularly "blow their lop do so just before meal- e.

Border Red Tape Hits Publishers OTTAWA (CP) -- Customs red tape in the United States cancels out the benefit of free entry of Canadian magazine paper for printing of Canadia circulated magazies, a paper official Thurs- day told the Senate trade commit- tee. R. M. Fowler, president of the Pulp and Paper Association of Can- ada, said magazine paper ordinar-/ ily is subject to a 27 per cent duty when shipped to the U.S. However, if the U.S. importer is going to use it to print magazines for circulation in Canada, the law says it may enter the U.S. duty- Tee. "But in practice it does not work out this way because of U.S, tar- iff administration and 'red tape.' " Mr. Fowler told the committee which is investigating economic co- operation among North Atlantic Treaty nations. The result, said Mr. Fowler, is "TURKISH AIR CHIEF Lt.-Gen.

(CP from National Defence) that the U.S. publisher who wants to buy Canadian magazine paper to print his Canadian circulation "is faced with having 27 per cent of the price tied up for nearly three years before he can get the drawback to which he is legally entitled." Polio Vaccine Not "Killer" 21 byl may28k NEW YORK (AP)--One child in the U.S. polio vaccine trials has developed paralytic polio, but it isn't known if he had shots of th> real vaccine or a useless material that couldn't protect him. This was announced Thursday by Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director of the National Founda- tion for Infantile Paralysis. Dr. Van Riper declared "one question has been answered, that is that the vaccine properly made is safe, and is not the killer re- ferred to by some reporters.' (Before the trial began, colum- nist Walter Winchell broadcast that some batches of the vaccine might contain live virus and so "may be a Kkiller.") Dr. Van Riper said 617,159 chil- dren in 217 communities in 44 states had received initial shots of either the vaccine or its substitute and 95 per cent of the 600,000 have had two or more shots in the schedule of three.

Thomp- son, Toronto lawyer, told the On- tario legislature's highway safety committee Thursday that pedest- rians should carry lighted red lamps when they walk on country roads at night. ad Giving the committee a list of safety recommendations, he also said every car owner should be compelled to carry the same type of warning flares and lamps as commercial vehicles, for use in case of breakdown on the highway at night. Mr, Thompson also thought: ornaments on car hoods | sha. should be outlawed because they could cause needless injury. J. B. Cummings, chief engineer of the Chrysler Corporation of Canada, told the committee that although safety belts in cars would likely reduce injury, people "just wouldn't use them." URGES PERIODIC TESTS W. A. Bryce, safety director of the University of - Toronto, urged periodic re-tests of licensed dri- vers. He and Commissioner E. V. McNeill of the provincial police agreed there should be a re-exam- ination every five years. Mr. Thompson said every ap- plicant for a driver's licence should be asked to produce a med- ical certificate of physical fitness. A test should also be made to de- termine the applicant's judgment of distance and his knowledge of English. Enquiry boards, composed of at least one doctor, a police officer and a third member appointed by the highways department, could be set up across the province to grant official certificates of fitness," he said. Pedestrians should be reauirad to walk against encomiag traffic both day and night and to cross a street only at an intersection, . Ontario Reziment .
