Increasing

By D'Arcy O'Donnell

OTTAWA, March 9——tCP)—Ta1k cf a general election within the next few months i5 increasing in political circles, with speakers of practically all parties in the Coim- mona referring to the possibility dullng recent addresses to the 1101150.

HWWVET. the speakers who have referred to an early election were all back benohers, Cabinet Minist- ers. who would probably be in a position to have advance know- ledge of an election, have remained silent.

Some Liberal numbers have claimed privately that no party out- side of the Government is ready in; an election at this time. How- ever, Richard Bell. national or- ganizer for the Progressive Con- servative Party, said in an inter- view that. the party‘; position as far as organization goes is better than at any time in history.

The party, like eii others. he said. was facing the difficulty of raising candidates in constituencies which likely would be affected by tihe redistribution of House of Com- mons seats.

A committee now is waiting on the realignment of the boundarie- of constituencies in order to pro- vide for increasing Commons seats from 245 to 255._

Mr. Bell said the party planned to hold meetings for the nomin- ation of candidates in new seats as soon as the boundaries are fixed.

He said that plane for the Dom.- inion Progressive Conservative Ais- sociatimfc annual meeting at the end of the month are proceeding satisfactorily.

The gossip has it tihat J.M. Mac- donnell (PC—Muskoks. - Ontario)

‘would be reelected as president of

the Association. t"

The question of party organizat- ion would bc surveyed during the meetings which would attract mem- bers from all across the country.

Mr, Bell said the question of or- ganization within _ the Provinces would be debated. He believed that a convention would be held some- time next summer to choose a pro- vincial Progressive Conservative leader for Nova. Scotia, the only Province where the party did not have a leader.

Rails Veto Probe Talk In Hungary

BUDAPEST. March D- (AP)- Ruasian LL-Cien. V.P. Svlridov to- day vetoed an American and Bri- tish suggestion that a committee of Allied and Hungarian officials

investigate Hungarian politicians accused of plotting against the republic.

Sviridov said such procedure

“would constitute rude interfer- ence in the affairs of the Hungar- ian republic and the legal rights of the Hungarian people's court.‘ Hie note was the first Soviet re- action to an American note pro- testing Russian interference in Hungarian international affairs.

Members Disturbed Over Impending Butter Price Boost

OTTAWA. Ont. March ik-(Spec. fail-Together with their colic“- ues from the Central Province; and ‘he Weill. members of parliament FWFe-Sellllilg rural and semi-rural cmflllilfllfilbs in’ the Maritimes are disturbed over the impending in- iimwc of at least eight and a half "n" l Pound in tho price or but- t". due to become operative on May 1.

This increase due to tihe Govern- ment's decision to drop the butter subsidy on that date has caused deep concern to city-dwellers and also to dairy farmers across Can- a a_

Dairy farmers while wclcontiaig a price for butter more closely in line with production costs than at pres- ent. fear that if butter goes to 65 or even 60 cents a pound. heavy pressure will be put on the govern- ment to permit the manufacture and importation of oleomargarine or other butter substitutes. Since Senator W.D. Euler has a‘biil be- fore the Senate to permit distribut- ion of butter substitutes for the Dominion. it is been that the dairy- mcifs fears are not unfounded. And in the increasing price of butter. Senator Euler sees opportunity to secure wider support for his pro- ioct which was defeated in the Upper House last year.

Prince Edward Island's four members of Parliament are already receiving some correspondence on the subject of butter prices and ex- pect more when the Ontario Sen- ator's bill comes up for discussion. They have consulted dairy experts of the Department of . Acricuiiure and fhctyletlonsi Dairy Council on
