ppear Split Three Ways

KEN SMITH

OTTAWA Minister Gordon didn't. balance his new budget, but he achieved ‘a balance of sorts in the early reaction to it — one plus, one minus and éne maybe.

The plus came in the general approval of his 10-per-cent cut in~-persona® fweome taxes, ef- fective July 1 and worth a total of $170,000,0008 this year.

minus was the strong ob- jection to his decision to leave unchatiged corporation taxes and the controversial 11 - per- cent sales machinery.

The maybe was the let’s-vait- and-see attitude toward his an- nouncement of the proposed $1.- 000,000,000 Canada Development Corp.. to be set up to provide financing for private Canadian businesses that might otherwise pass into foreign control.

CALLED EXPANSIONARY

. The tax cut, which Mr. Gor- don described as an expansion- ary approach, was seen as gen- eral approval of the lime taken by the recent report of the Eco- nomic Council of Canada.

It called for more consumer demand as a major factor in future growth, arguing that em- ployment and - business-‘invest- ment would expand t# meet in- cTeasing needs.

Mr. Gordon ‘indicated he feels the cut is large enough to pro- mote higher domestic consump- tion, but not enough to set off an inflationary spiral.

Army Revolt Collapses In Dominican Republic

SANTO DOMINGO (AP)—A drive by a group of young army efficers to restore exiled ex- president Juan Bosch to power in the Dominican Republic col-

lapsed Tuesday night after three |

days of fighting im this Carib- bean country

The end came after air and navy forces opposed to Bosch bombarded Santo Domingo and then swept into the — with tanks and _m™en.

There were reports that hun- dreds were killed.in the fighting

that first erupted. Sunday hae 55 pe ‘expressed rthe army rebels overthrew fie posed Can ada -

Military factions then split up into pro-and anti-Bosch forces, with the antis charging Bosch was backed by Communist Cuba, the Soviet Union and China. Similar charges played a part in the overthrow of Bosch tr 196% and his flight to San duan, Puerto Rico:

- Businessmen applauded the cut and the anticipated extra spending. but there was some criticism that it was not big. enough and does no give max- imum benefit to low - income

It will apply up to a maxi- mum cut of $600 a year, going

im full to akgpast all_taxpayers,

earning less than $9,000 a years Those earning more will receive a smaller percentage cut.

There was nearly winaineds! criticism of the lack of cuts for corporation taxes.

A. T. Lambert, president of the Toronto - Dominion Bank, said in Toronto the differential between Canadian and United States corporate tax rates—52 per cent in Canada and 48 per cent in the US—might keep some potential new businesses from establisping plants here.

Said Dangerous

OTTAWA ‘(CP )—Douglas Fish- er, New Democratic deputy. lead- er, said in the Commons Tuesday the main use of the Senate is for the party in power and of minis- ters and MPs the prime minister wants to “boot upstairs.”

As a result, he said. the Sen- ate is dominated by business- men protecting the interests of the business community.. ““One senator even has a stock ticker in his office.”

A Senate appointment almost amounted to a guarantee that the new senator would be named to the boards of several com- panies. which hoped, to exercise “leverage” over legisiation af- fecting’ them. .

Mr. Fisher; MP for Port Arthur, said the present system of making Senate appointments is dangerous. He spoke on the resolution preceding a bill pro-

“viding fer retirement of future

senators at age 75 on an $8.000 annual pension. Present sena- tors. appointed for life, would free to stay on or retire The bill was given first read- ing without a forma! «ote. op-

position members saying ‘on division” to record their dis- agreement.

Of the nine senators. appointed by Prime Minjster Pearson. Mr. Fisher® said. seven had been Liberal party fund-raisers or or- ganizers and two were former MPs who made way for new ministers. Almost al! senators appointed by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker when he was prime minister also were “‘party hacks and bazmen.””

SOME BANK DIRECTORS

Mr.__Fisher._.said_ the Senate banking committee, which locked the incorporation of the Bank of British -Columbia last sear and heid up two other “baby” banks for months? in- cludes four senators who are di- rectors of established banks.

One of them is Senator Salter Hayden (L—Ontario), committee chairman and a director of the Bank of Nova Scotia.

Mr. Fisher gave the following descriptions.of the nine senators named in the last two years by Mr. Pearson:

Senater Leuis Gelinas, . chic! Liberal fund raiser for Quebec and director of 13 companies:

Senater John B_ Aird. chief Liberal fund raiser for Canada anda Toronto millionaire:

Senater Duaiel Lang, chair- man of the Ontario Liberal cam-. paizn committee in the last tua federa’ elections and a company

Senator Nelson Rattenbury, chief Liberal fund raiser in New Brunswick and a financier:

Senater Eric Cook. financier and former president of the Newfoundland Liberal Associa- tion; -

Speaker Maurice Bourcet. for- mer MP and chief Liberal or- ganizer for the eastern haif of Quebec;

Senater Azellus Denis. who had embarrassed the zovern- ment with his “patronaze lists” while serving as postmaster- general in 1963:

Senater Remuald Beurquer.
