QUISNBL. B. C.. A-pl-u la — (OP)—A 19-yea:-old armed youth tonight held Provincial Police at bay. holding a 18-year-old‘ girl with him in a lonely bush cabin, police said. They said the youth is charged with abducting a Juvenile.

Constables Justien Ix Gauthier and Allan Jesseup said a warrant for the youth, identified by them as Belt Lagace, was issued yester- day morning after he and the girl disappeared from this Culboo centre 400 miles north of Van- oouver. The girl's family lives here.

Police said they closed in on Legacs this morning in the cslbln 18 miles west of here and that Lagace fired one shot from his rifle when they approached.

Police reinfolcements. about eight in all, are expecfkd later tonight with tear gas to attempt to enter the cabin under cover of darkness.

Opposed

By GEORGE I-‘OBSTEI

IIAIJFAX, April 14 -— (OP) .. The Nova. scotia Legislature today defeated two Opposition, attempts to ‘kill ' a" 'Govef'nlile'ht'-sponsored pen ' plan for-cabinet ministers.

The bill was given second read- ing — approval in principle. Pra- gressivs Conservative leader Robezt Stanfield charged that the cabinet members, in introducing the legis- lation, are “pl'epa.red to take care of themselves before looking after ‘hi? B90912 of Nova Scotla."

The bill, unprecedented in Car.- ada, provides contributory pensions for ministers who retire at so after 10 years in the cabinet. The pell- siona can be up to 70 per cent of ministerial salaries — .000 for the premier and 38.000 for the cabinet.

Premier Angus L. Mscdomlu said the bill was a matter of “sim- ple Justice."

Indications were the bill will meet more opposition in commit- tees from the eight Progressive Conservatives in the 37-seat House.

It simply extended civil service superannuation benefits to cabinet ministers and it was an "unfair suggestion" that “this Government is doing something for itself that it is not doing for any other G0'-.-- ernment employee."

It is “very difficult" to disting- uish between ministers and other Government employees.

Without a recorded vote. the House defeated Mr. Btanfieid's ma- non to delay approval of the bill for six months _ equivalent to preventing further consider.-non of it at this session.

It also defeated a, move by 0.1. Smith (PC -— Colchester) to delay approval until the Federal parlia- mentary committee on pensions re- ports.. Mr. Smith's motion was al- most identical to one moved earlier in the session by Health Minister Mcliinnon. Mr. McKlnnon's motion

He said the first five years were rather difficult. but that the country is still on its feet. Despite some unemployment. he said. more people are employed than ever be- fore. and the U. .5. has a pros- perous setup if the Wall street re- ports can be believed.

Truman described the world situation as better than in 1949. He and that year was about the worst he could remember. M05059 it was before the Greek-Turkish aid and Marshall Plan policies took effect. He said there had been a gradual improvement since then.
