Office Department TWENTY-FOUR PAGES Postage in Jobless In Debt By $4.5 Million OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons met Wednesday night for an extraordinary overtime sit- ting to approve an emergency money transfusion to the bank- rupt unemployment insurance fund. 'Amid charges of concealing the perilous state of the fund, Labor Minister MacEachen told the House that the unemploy- ment insurance kitty was an es- timated $4,500,000 in the hole as of midnight Tuesday, the end of the 1963-64 fiscal year. Although the Commons ap- proved a special loan to bail out the empty insurance fund, the government still needs Senate approval and Royal assent. be- fore it can legally advance any money. At the moment these two steps are tied to Commons' ac- ceptance of the entire $240,000,- 000 final appropriations bil! for the last fiscal year. The bill is bogged down in an acrimonious debate that has _ knocked Easter holiday plans of MPs for a loop. Although the unemployment} insurance fund was in the red, a spokesman for the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission "said about $6,000,000 in cash was on hand to meet benefit pay- ments for the next few days. The money consisted mostly of advance payments from em- ployers for April contributions. WILL BE SEPARATED A government source says that if the spending bill is not passed in the Commons by Fri- day, the item authorizing a loan to the insurance fund will be lifted from the measure and sent separately to the Senate. If the Senate gave quick ap- proval, it would allow Royal as- sent in time to provide extra cash for insurance payments Tynan ay adjourn immediately until April 20. Senator G. ©. Power, a for- mer Liberal -cabinet- minister, said Parliament was in @ mess and had suffered 'its greatest]; reverse because of political am- ateurism, stupid obstinacy and blatant opportunism in the Com- mons. The Commons began and ended its Wednesday sitting on the crisis in' the unemployment insurance fund. After wrangling over the fund's financial position, the House agreed to sit overtime at} " night for two hours to approve the item dealing with a loan of up to $55,000,000 to the fund.

U.S. Delegate Adrian Fisher told the 17-nation disarmament conference today that these private discussions between the co-chairmen of the conference were based on an_ Irish-spon- sored United Nations resolution. "There is general agreement that preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to nations not now controlling them is an ur- gent' matter," Fisher said. "But an effort is being made to becloud this issue with .es- sentially political argu ments against the projected Multi-La- teral Force." The U.S. delegate said the Russians were trying to convey the impression that the MFL measures to curb the spread of! nuclear forces. | "The MFL is being devised to enable Western European members of the alliance jointly needs as related to their consti- tutional responsibilities.

No Political Prisoners In Russia -- K LONDON (AP)--Moscow ra- dio said today that former pre- mier Georgi M. Malenkov is no worse off than former. presi- dents Truman and Eisenhower. Broadcasting in English to North America, a Moscow com- mentator said a listerner had asked what had happened to Malenkov. This was the answer: "Mr. Malenkov was released from his post according to legal, constitutional procedure by a democratically elected body, the Soviet parliament, "Now why ask what happened to him? Why should something happen to him? "The day when things hap- pened to people is gone never to return again.

Goulart fled from Rio de Jan- eiro Wednesday as rebel army units and civil militiamen marched on the city, vowing to force him from office and lift "the red yoke" from Brazil. He flew to Brasilia and then to Porto Alegre, 670 miles south- west of Rio de Janeiro. CLAIMS ARMY SUPPORT There, in his home state, he claimed support of the strong 3rd Army. A statement read in his name over Porto Alegre ra- dio declared: "The hour of mobilization, the hour of vigil- ance is here." Radio Liberty, in the indus- trial city of Sao Paulo, an anti- Goulart stronghold, said there were unconfirmed reports Gou- lart had fled to Asunction, Para- guay, and asked for political asylum, In Brasilia, Auro Andrade, president of the Brazilian sen- ate declared the presidency va-\ cant.

BUENOS AIRES (Reut- ers)--The Uruguayan Radio Colonia. reported from Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, to- day that trade unions in Rio Grande do Sul province of Brazil were arming mem- hers to fight the rebellion against left-wing President Joao Goulart. RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazil's congress declared today that leftist Joao Goulart was shorn of the presidency by a two-day rebellion of anti - Communist generals. It installed as his suc- cessor Paschoal Ranieri Maz- zilli, conservative son of Italian immigrants, But from a haven at Porto Alegre in his home state of Rio Grande du Sul in southern Bra- zil, Goulart called the action by congress a farce, announced he still is president and predicted the people will react against the generals. He had vowed Wednesday night "a fight to the death." Reports circulated that Gen Amaury Kruel, leader of the re- volt against Goulart's leftist pol- icies, had sent this ultimatum to the 3rd Army commander at Porto Alegre: Surrender forces guarding Goulart or face an in- vasion. There was no official confir- mation of the Kruel ultimatium, but a spokesman for the. 3rd Army was quoted by Reuters mews agency as saying the army had switched its alleg- jance to the new regime. SUPPORT DWINDLES Support for Goulart was be- lieved rapidly dwindling.

NICOSIA -- Several thousand Greek-Cypriot students paraded through the streets of Nicosia today calling for "Enosis"--the union of Cyprus with Greece-- and the return of former EOKA leader Gen.

("Dighe- nis" was General Grivas' un- derground name during the EOKA campaign against the British.) The procession broke up after reaching the palace gates.
