The chairman of the board such as ours should know that teachers have no legal right to strike, the most we can do is resign. Futhermore it is not the 'lack of guts" as it was so crudely ut.

Speculation about contents of Mr. Sharp's 8 p.m. budget ad- dress to the Commons, his third during 18 months in the port- folio, has varied widely. A measure - of uncertainty about the direction the economy is taking, evident in a pre- budget white paper Tuesday, may suggest that general tax increases will be avoided. The alternative to substantial increases. appears to be a big budgetary deficit for 1967-68, a year that already promises an extra $740,000,000 in spending over 1966-67, with supplemen- tary estimates of several hun- dred millions still to come. SPECULATE ON TAX CUTS Speculation from several sources foresees two or three small but welcome tax cuts for consumers in specific areas. They predict Mr. Sharp will drop the 12 - per - cent federal sales tax on prescription drugs as the first step in a program to encourage lower drug costs. They also expect abolition or reduction of the excise tax on household luxury items, includ- ing television sets. The government has with- stood opposition requests. for months to get rid of the lucra- tive 12-per-cent tax on building materials, but it is suggested in certain quarters that some re- duction would help stimulate activity in housing. There is also some optimism that limited contributions to political parties will be made tax deductible, as recommended last October by a five-man com- mittee on election expenses, If Mr. Sharp does so, it will Rivers Flood In Alberta CALGARY (CP)--Minor flood- ing in scattered areas south and west of Calgary city remained static Wednesday despite con- tinuing rains. Some southern Alberta rivers and creeks continued to rise dur- ing the night while the level in others dropped. The Elbow River rose 30 per cent more water than expected into Calgary and some gardens south of the city were flooded when control dams had to re- be a switch» from the previous government intention of sending the report first 'to the Commons committee on privileges and elections. The main federal estimates for 1967-68 tabled in March total $9,535,132,584, a big jump from actual expenditures of $8,794,- 000,000 in' the last fiscal year ended March 31. The white paper not only re- vealed a 1966-67 budget deficit of $428,000,000, but showed a rapid move during late 1965 and 1966 from a surplus to a deficit position. The white paper was inter- preted by some observers as an indication that. the government would hold the line on current tax rates to preserve balance in the economy. Although the federal govern- ment ran up a big budget deficit last year, Mr. Sharp may rely heavily tonight on the alterna- tive calculations of the national } accounts, This measurement of the gov- ernment's cash flows includes such major items as old age security payments and the Ca- ada Pension Plan and is made on a calendar-year, rather than} a fiscal-year, basis. .

TROOPS MOVE (See Page 2) Meanwhile, President Johnson met with his cabinet to discuss the crisis, but the White House continued to remain mum of any developments.

Shortly after Kamel's press conference, his Iraeli counter- part -- Ambassador Avraham Harman--said the foundations of international law and order are at stake in the present crisis. Speaking to the Rabbinical Assembly of America, Harman pictured the Gulf of Aqaba as "our second lung" through which "Israel breathes in its re- lations with Africa and Asia."

Huge Guerrilla Fortress Rocked By U.S. Navy Fire SAIGeN (AP)--A U.S. arm- ored force today attacked a huge guerrilla fortress uncov- coast by one of the war's most spectacularly successful -naval bombardments.

Within min- utes the beach was a holocaust and it was evident the rocket ship had unearthed a major Viet Cong fortress. Shattering secondary explo- sions began to rise from ammu- nition hidden in the bunkers. One massive explosion ripped a crater 30 feet across. The rockets, which land in clustered bursts of 10, ripped open 77 Communist bunkers and uncovered and partially col- lapsed almost a mile of trenches.
