It said provincial mental health service should be under a single qualified director and "the most scientific methods of diagnosis .prevention and treat- ment should be made available on a province-wide scale."

The society suggested that fe- cilities be decentralized as far as possible and brought as close to the home as was consistent with the program's sound objectives. The small-town psychiatric clin- ios would require one and per- haps more fully-trained psychia- trists snd the clinics should be made more effective by obtaining the use of beds from local hospi- tals for the observation of pati- ente.

Scores of automobiles. produce trucks and other commercial ve- hicles sireaming into the Port Hawkesbury loading area had to turn around and head for Point Tupper. The Murray's unexpected long trip created a similar bottle- neck at Mulgrnve on the main- land.

The Provincial highways depart- ment briefly debated whether to throw the completed causeway open to road traffic during the morning but this action apparently was ditched when the Murray be- gan making headway against the backlog.

Says Left-Wingers Gain

Dangerous Foothold In

OTTAWA. (CP)- The 23-man CCF group in the Commons was accused Monday of voicing s for- eign affairs policy that can give comfort only to Commmunist na- tions.

Ross Thatcher. who resigned from the CCF party April 22 be- cause of a clash of views with his

former colleagues. also told the Commons in the budget debate that "left-wing elements have

gained dangerous and unwarrant- ed recognition within the councils

of the party." The 37-year-old independent member for Moose Jaw-Lake

Centre. made the charges while giving a detailed yzxplanation of his reasons for resigning.

REMAINS INDEPENDENT

Thatcher. a well-to-do Moose Jaw. Sask.. hardware mer- chant who had been a CCF Com- mons membe since 1945. reiter- ated that he will sit in the House for the remainder of the present Parliament as an independent and will not seek membership in any other party.

"In the next election I shall be a candidate again only if there is a genuine and widespread belief among my constituents that I am needed to serve their interests." he said.

Mr. Thatcher said -he came into basic conflict with the CCF party in four other matters:

1. Demands for higher social welfare benefits regardless of the country's ability to pay.

2. Apathy and sometimes has- tility by CCF memhe n to his ef- forts to obtain government eco-

F. R. Joubin. 43-year-old presi- dent and managing director of Al- gum and vice-president and mas- aging director of Pronto. declar- ed that by I051 Canada's produc- tion value of uranium will be 31.50.000.000. and probably 8230.- 000.000.

He predicted that in 1067 the United States will produce at the rate of 380,000,000. South Africa

Sl00.i)00.000. and the Belgian Congo and Australia 000 each.

The U.S. output then will be about one-third of its own require- ments. Mr. Joubin told the Mont- real Institule of Investment Ana- Iyss.

In five years. the mighty atom

Mr. Joubin said Algom sees de- mand from European interests for a period of lo to it years after the Canadian government agency orders are completed.

Nothing was yet known of the cost of electricity derived from uranium. but by 1962 it should be competmve with electricity de- drived from steam boilers. he said. It would take longer to be competitive with liydro power.

.'l. The "unrealistic" policy of: the CCF for material increases in corporation incomes taxes.

4. Proposals by the party for socialization of key industries and nationalization of Canadian banks.

"DANGEROUS RECOGNITION"

Mr. Thatcher siad he has been "careful of and in disagreement with what appeared to me to be a growing left-wing tendency with- in the CCF party."

CCF Leader Coldwell and most of his colleagues had no more use for communism and its vicious methods than he had. They had publicly stated that fact on many occasions.

"Nevertheless." Mr, Thatcher said. "despite the well-meaning sincerity of most CCF adherents. I personally feel that left wing elements have gained danger- ous and unwarranted recognition within the counsels of the party.

"Here in Parliament with in- creasing frequency the CCF party has taken a line on foreign af- fairs that. in my opinion. no mat- ter how honestly it has been tak- en. can only give comfort to Com- munist nations.”

Examples of this were the vote on the entry of a rearmed West Germany into NATO. opposed by the majority of CCF t . and constant CCF criticism of Us ited States foreign policy.

. . . Those views." he said. ". . . fail to recognize the neces- sity for survival and . . . are

fraught with danger for all Cana- dians."
