Unemployment Expected Less This Winter

LONDON (CP) — Finance Min tster Donald Fleming said Friday he is confident normal seasonal unemployment in Canada this winter will be less than it was a year ago.

Answering questions at a press conference in Canada House, the Canadian minister said: “The strength of forces in the Cana- dian economy give us reason to expect that Canada, like the United States, is-definitely on the way out of the recession.”

Fleming arrived in London Thursday after paying a two-day visit to the world fair at Brus- sels. He leaves today-to attend the international financial discus- sions at New Delhi' later this month.

Friday, the minister spent some time at Canada House with George Drew, Canadian high commissioner to the United King- dom, and senior members of the staff. He had a luncheon meet- ing with the lord chancellor, Lord Kilmuir, and later went to the Bank of England for a talk with the governor of the bank, C. F. Cobbold. '

Federal DefiCit Figures Revised

OTTAWA (CPl—Record peace- time expenditures accompanied by a drop in revenues resulted in a federal budget deficit of $38,622,732 in the fiscal year ended last March 31, the govern— ment announced Friday night.

This compared with a surplus of $257,505,582 in the previous year. It was the third post-war deficit in a period in which there were nine years of surpluses. The last previous deficit was $33,080,- 997 in 1955-56.

The original estimate for the 1957-58 year was for a surplus of $152,000,000. This was made by the former Liberal government in March 1957 a few months before it was defeated in the general election and was succeeded by the present Progressive Conservative administration.

The first estimate was scaled down to a surplus of $80,000,000 when Finance Minister Fleming amended the budget last Dec. 6.

REVISED AGAIN

That $80,000,000 estimate was in turn revised to a deficit of $39,- 400,000 when Mr. Fleming pre- sented his budget for the current fiscal year June 17.

In the year ended last March 31, the minister reported Friday night in his final accounting, fed- eral spending soared to a peace- time hlgh of 35.087.411.011, up from 34849035298 in the pre ious year but still below the all~tlme high of 85.322.2'3,505 set in the war year of 194344.

Revenues dropped to 35.048,- 788279 from 85.100.540.880 in the Dl‘f‘YlOIIS )car but s'ill ranked as

$396,000,000 from last year.

Mr. Fleming said Sept. 6 on the final day of the last session that the 1958-59 budget deficit Will be in the neighborhood of $700,000,- 000. This was a revision of his earlier estimate of t a deficit of $648,000,000, made when he pre- sented his budget 'June 17.

EARLY SURPLUS

After the first five months of the current year—to the end of August—the government showed a small surplus of $16,000,000, com- pared with one of $224,800,000 for the corresponding period last year. However, the heavy bills tend to come up towards the end of the year. '

The g r e a t e st federal deficit was 9,558,277,125 in the war year of 1944-45. The previous peace- time high was $390,342,586 in 1919-20. .

Operations of the old age secur- ity fund, not included in budget- ary transactions, resulted in a record deficit of $103,907,896 in the year ended last March 31, compared with a deficit of $56.- 012,857 the previous year. The deficits are covered by temporary loan-s from the treasury which later are written off as losses.

GROSS LIABILITIES

At March 31 the government's gross liabilities totalled $18,418.- 541,348. of which $14,245,107,153 consisted of unmatured bonds and treasury bills. Assets were $7,918.- 652,023, leaving the net debt of $11,046,273,890 —— up $38,622,000 from a year previous.

On the revenue side, personal income tax collections climbed to $1.499,000,000 from $1,400,000.000 but the intake from corporation income taxes dropped by 833.000,- 000 to 81234000000. There were also substantial drops in income from excise taxes and customs

Manned Sputniks, Said Near

MOSCOW (Reutersl—Soviet sci- entists predicted Friday they will develop manned space ships soon —~perhap‘s’ within a few years.

Many leaders of the Russian earth satellite program issued statements or made speeches on the eve of the first anniversary of the launching of Sputnik I.

They listed new advances—and drawbacks—in the struggle to solve the problems of manned space flights and a safe reentry to the earth’s atmosphere.

Professor Leonid Sedov de- clared the time is “not distant” when rocket space ships would take men to the nearest planets.

Professor G. Petrovich said manned Sputniks could be only a matter of “the next few years” away.

RADIATION HAZARD

New light on one of the major problems — radiation dangers— was shed by Professor Valerian Krasovaky in an interview with the Soviet news agency Tass.

He said Sputnik 11H has re- vealed powerful currents of elec- trons in the upper atmosphere with energies up to 10,000 election volts. This discovery. he said, was a complete surprise

New Chairman Named Of

Transport Commissioners

. OTTAWA (CIP) — The federal Icabinet Friday shifted the chair- manship of the board of trans- port commissioners—the govern- ment’s top administrative tribu- nal—from a Liberal to a Progres- sive Conservative.

'However, there‘appeared to be no direct politics involved in the resignation of chief commissioner Clarence D. Shepard, 44, and his replacement by S. Bruce Smith, 58, with the change to take effect at the year end.

Both Mr. Shepard and Mr. Smith are recognized experts in transport matters. The chief com- missioner, it was understood, is leaving to take a position in cor- porate law practice at consider- ably more than the $18,000 a year that the board chairmanship pays. He is from Winnipeg.

CUT IN INCOME

Mr. Smith, senior partner in an Edmonton law firm, will be tak- ing a cut in income to assume. the chairmanship, as Shepard did when he took It on in 1957.

Announcement of the change came suddenly Friday while the present chairman was involved in major transport board cases and was about to head for Vancouver to acta s temporary chairman 0f the Air Transpnt Board in some important hearings.

Recently, chairman W. J. Mat thews of the Air Transport Board died on the verge Of that board’s hearings on applications by pri- vate companies—«due to start next week at Vancouver — for fran- chises that could crack Trans- Canada Air Lines’ transcontinen-

Wives OIZUKS

ervicemen Are Shot Down In NICOSla

TAIPEI (CM—Communist Chi- nese jet fighters Friday struck for the first time at Nationalist transport planes dropping vitally- needed supplies to the Quemoy Islands, forcing one down.

A Nationalist defence ministry spokesman said four MiG-17s shot up a C-46 transport and forced it to crash—land.

Two of the crew of 13 were In- lured.

It was the second C-46 lost by the Nationalists this week. Com- munist shore batteries knocked one out Monday, killing all 13 crew members.

Defence ministry spokesman Liu Shot Stu said the Nationalists had begun daytime flights to test the Communists’ attitude toward “mercy missions.” The flanes were dropping food and medicine. no war material, he said.

STEP UP AIRLIFT

Reporters who returned from Quemoy Friday said Communist shore batteries were putting up a furious barrage against the supply planes. With sea convoys halted temporarily by rough weather, the airlift has been stepped up.

Reporters estimated the Na- tionalists dropped 250 tons of sup- plies in 60 flights )ver Quemoy on Thursday, compared with 40 tons a day during the early stages of the airlift.

Meanwhile, Nationalist pilots in Formosa continued training to learn to operate the American C-119 Flying Boxcar: that ar- rived on Thursday from Okinawa. Sixteen are expected to go into service soon, each with a capacity of almost. 15 tons‘. The cargo ca- pacity of s CA6 is four tons. MISSILES 0N WAY

BUT NO INDEPENDENCE

By GEORGE McARTHUR

CONSTANTINE, Algeria (AP) Premier de Gaulle called’on A‘— gerian rebels Friday to lay down their arms. He promised Algeria’s troubled Moslems more land, more schools, more jobs. ,

In a speech before 50,000cheer- ing Moslems and Frenchmen, the French premier proposed a new five-year plan that calls for a vast outpouring of French wealth into the revolt-torn North African territory.

But he aaid clearly there was to be no independence for Algcrm. At the same time, he told French colonists in Algeria there worm be no integration of Algeria into France under a system they have long hoped would preserve their dominant position.

He urged the rebels to become his partners in progress:

“Stop these absurd battles and promptly you will see hope re~ born throughout the lands of Al- geria. You will see prisons empty, you will see a future open big enough for everybody, and partic- ularly for yourselves."
