COMMITTEE STUDY ENDS | Doctors Urged To Postpone Long Struggle Ahead increase In Fee Schedule | For Armed Forces Bill By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons defence committee found the range Tuesday night and 'shot the armed forces unifica- tion bill back to the Commons. But it took 55 meetings since Feb. 7, 23 major witnesses and, Tuesday, 55 formal votes before the 65-clause bill cleared its highest hurdle so far. It still has a long way to go, however. It must receive clause-by- clause study and third anf final reading in the Commons, go to the Senate, receive royal as- sent and then be_ proclaimed aw Defence Minister Hellyer told the committee it will require at least four months after parlia- mentary passage to prepare regulations based on the bill before the legislation can be proclaimed law, thus abolishing the navy, army and air force. Gordon Churchill, former Con- servative defence minister, said the bill '"'might" get through in May or June if the government) accepting amendments the Con- f PAUL HELLYER ... over one hurdle Terry Nugent PC-Edmonton| Strathcona said he will fight |the bill in the Commons "stepjand Marcel Michael Forrestall PC-Hali- fax said he will propose amend- ments in the Commons which will be tougher than two the Conservatives unsuccess- fully tired to get through the committee Tuesday. The committee approved the bill as a whole by a vote of 14 to 8 with Harold Winch NDP- Vancouver East and Andrew Brewin NDP-Toronto Green- wood joining 12 'Liberals in favor. Eight Conservatives were opposed, There were 54 other votes on clauses which referred even in- directly to creation of a single force and abolition of the three services. The Conservatives forced votes on even the bill's title and preamble and on a mo- tion to have it reprinted with its government - sponsored amend- ments, all minor ones. The.Conservatives put up their stiffest fight against clauses dealing with the compulsory transfer of sailors, soldiers and airmen to the new force. | They called this conscription Lambert (PC-Ed- servatives will propose in the|by step, thoroughly and exhaus-|monton West) said: "it's a hell Commons, mons. \tively.' Spelling Out Responsibility Stressed For OTTAWA (CP)--A Commons committee gave the govern- ment solid backing Thursday for planned changes in broad- casting legislation. It stressed all along the line that new regulations must spell out clearly areas of responsibil- ity between the Board of Broad- cast Governors and the pub- licly-owned CBC, a matter that has remained 'clouded under present legislation. The report from the Com- mons broadcasting committee agreed with the government white paper on proposed broad- casting changes on almost every count. These included the white pa- per's proposal to widen the pow- ers of the BBG and give it clear control over the CBC on gen- eral policy matters as well as regulating the private sector. But the committee suggested the new legislation state spe- cifically that the public sector of broadcasting is the most im- Expo Lodging CBC Changes portant one and the CBC is paramount in it. STRENGTHEN CBC Robert Stanbury (L -- York- Scarborough), committee chair- man, told a press conference called after tabling the report in the Commons that the com- mittee feels '"'every means pos- sible' should be used to strengthen the CBC. The white paper proposed in- creased full-time membership for the BBG, to five from three, and said the new legislation would put the BBG firmly over the CBC "'in all matters of af- ifecting genera] - broadcast- ing policy." The committee agreed but added its conviction that the areas 'of responsibility "be fully understood and clearly defined in the legislation." Noting that the white paper said the BBG should be pre- pared to investigate complaints about tendencies towards any "monopoly of information', the committee said this should in- clude multiple ownership: within broadcasting as well as cross ownership -- where a _news- aper, for example, owns radio or TV stations. of a way to run a ship." MINISTER SMILES Mr. Hellyer, smilling beningly as the bill zipped through the} final good-humored committee tion, as now, servicemen will be| able to return to civvy street. The Liberals voted down Con- servatives amendments which would have required the de-| sent of servicemen before trans- ferring them to the new force and to pay full pension benefits to those who chose not to join the single service. "A vote against these amend- ments is a vote for conscrip- tion," declared Donald Macin- nis PC--Cape Breton South. The final witness, Air Chief Marshal Frank Miller, chief of defence staff at his retirement last July, testified that there is an "element of compulsion" in the automatic transfer of serv- icemen to the new force without | their consent. 'When a man enlists in the navy and you abolish the navy then with all our moral and democratic back ground you should give that man the option whether to join the new force," he said.

At present, benefits paid by are 90 per cent of the fee schedule. Under the new sched-| ule, they will be only about 72) er cent of some fees.

Mr. Nicholson, responsible for the federal government's hous- ing program, also said that big- city dwellers of the future are going to have to settle for apartments rather than single- family dwellings.

The matter was raised in the House of Commons Monday by Stanley Knowles of the New Democratic Party who asked the government to see that "this un-Canadian practice is brought to a -halt." Mr. Lacoste said that persons wanting to offer rooms are re- quired by the lodging service to sign a form which states that they commit themselves not to practise discrimination in ac- cepting paying guests. A misunderstanding of this form might have led to reports that the fair's reservations service asked those renting rooms to sign a form asking if they would accept any visitor regardless of race or religion, he said.
