Liberals TORONTO .(CP)--A commit- tee of the Ontario Liberal party rejected a resolution to remove the limit on bank interest charges Friday but went on rec- ord as favoring an extension of the lending powers of Central Mortgage and Housing Corp. Citing a shortage of funds for low-cost housing, the municipal affairs committee said in- creased direct lending by CMHC would result in private lenders decreasing their mortgage in- terest rates to satisfy the. de- mand for housing. Resolutions were passed by the various standing commit- tees of the Liberal party of On- tario as its annual meeting and policy conference began Friday. Liberal Leader 'Andrew Thompson was asked to appoint a committee of experts to in- vestigate various areas of edu- cation; the function of Grade 13; the role of community col- Jeges; teacher training; provin- cial scholarships and bursaries; the heavy local tax load on real estate, and use of the tax dollar for maximum economy in edu cation.

Dr, Cotnam said "the coroner is the guy who is asked to make up the percentage' when a hos- pital runs below the minimum number of autopsies to qualify.

The party has run through a succession of leaders since the Liberal government was ousted by the Conservatives 23 years ago, never to regain power up to the present. The leader, An- drew Thompson, was elected in the fall of, 1964 after the: per- sonal defeat of party leader John Wintermeyer in the 1963 election Mr. Thompson has no plans for seeking a vote: of confidence at the current meeting To lend weight to their policy decisions, the party decided- to make members of the provin- cial caucus answerable to the rank-and-file as fo what action has been, on resolutions submitted iamentar ians taken to the par MUST GIVE ASSURANCE Michael Moriarity of Toronto said if the Liberals are to com- ; pete with otk rolitical parties for members hy must be able to assure j ve adherents that their wpn't be arbi trarily scrapped Prof. Mark McGuigan Univers ty of Toront School said the so-called accountability" resolution would bring together the party and the yarliamentarians in the area of policy-making.
