By KAY rusx OTTAWA. March 5 (Cl?) — A comprehensive. country-wide survey of cancer diagnosis, treat- ment. and research soon will be launched by the newly-formed National Cancer Institute of Can- adrr as the first stop in its drive to combat this disease. the cause of one of eight deaths in the Dominion. '
‘Ihe inst cancer survey in Can- ada was tiaken in 1968 by Dr. Frederick Banting. co-dlscoverer of insulin. and was confined only to research facilities. said Dr. A. W. Blair of Regina, acting exe- cutive director of the institute. at a press conference today fol- lowing a two-day meeting of’ the Institutes interim directors.
The meeting was held to for- mulate plans for an all-out carn- paign against cancer and to dis- cuss the disbursement of the $450,000 authorized two weeks ago by trustees of the King George V silver Jubilee cancer fund for use by the institute over a three- year period.
From the survey it is expected the needs of the various medical schools will be ascertained and what sums from the cancer fund should be allotted in them for use in cancer research. said Dr. Blair. One of the first thiings the Institute will do is sitinrulatc rrscarcih in all Canadian univers- ity centres.
“We shall notify all universit- trs within 30 days of the petiti- ing survey and that iilnds will shortly be available for Accredit- ed research in cancer." he con- tinued. “We anticipate some small disbursements will be made this spring."
Any largo disbursements would have to wait until Sciotetrnbcr when the Ir-rtitute will formally receive its charter.

i OTTAWA. March 5—(CP)--Vet- ierans Minister MacKenzie. answer- iing OppOsltlon charges of. faulty construction ln veterans homes. said tcday in the Commons that i the GUSIF-mB-nt will pay for "a 100 IP81‘ Chit repair job" on 2,600 hous- ing units built an small holdings iunder provisions of the Veterans ' Land Act.
i Mr. ltiacKcrrzie. saying ma; m; repair work would cost between 5500.000 and $100,000. stated tins: many of the defect; were due to "faulty workmanship“ and the use iof “faulty materials." All the con.
i dltlons were "remedlable and. with. ifew exceptions. at a very
small cast." It was hoped the wort: would be completed within a few months.
Rciect Commission Suggestion
Speaking during continued Throne Speech debate, Mr. Mac- kenzie rejected a Progressive Con- servativc Party suggestion that a royal commission be established to investigate the building of homes for veterans.
"The only feature with which a. royal commission could deal. in my would be the question of a cut in capital cost." said Mr. Mackenzie. “If we were to ask a. royal com-mission to examine the physical condition of these houses lt would simply be delaying their completion nii_d delaying the fur- nishing of the amenities to which these scttlcrs are Cntitled."
