Housing Authority Squabble Brings Member Resignation
ST. JOHNN’S, Nfld. (CP)—Three members of the St. John’s housing authority have resigned on the hope that their action “will bring about a settlement’’ between the federal and provincial govern- ments on the make - up of the authority. '
Maj. A. H. Crosbie, Hubert Kelly atid John J. Murphy dis- closed their resignation in a let- ter to Premier Smallwood, who said the three had shown “‘pat- riotic spirit.”
The premier has indicated the dispute arose when federal Works Minister Green and W. J. Browne, Newfoundiand’s mem- ber of the federal cabinet, re- quested that Liberal housing au- thority members be replaced by Progressive Consefvative party
Premier Smaliwood announced in the legislature April 3 that the Newfoundiend government would sue the federal works department and Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation for breach of contract concerning subsidized

Defence Secretary Neil McElroy says Canadian defence industry has been adversely affected by the Canadian government’s de- cision ‘“‘to buy complete: weapon systems from the U.S.”
He adds that “the thing that Canada is trying to do in order to provide some continued busi- ness for their defence industry
there is any way in which some of the component parts of these systems can be manufactured in Canada without any sacrifice in cost.”

One amount is for $5,000,000 to “sustain” technological capability in the Canadian defence industry and the other is for $450,000 to establish sourees for the produc- tion of component parts for elec- tronic equipment. :
Officials\ explained that the $5,- 000,000 is for development of pro- grams for production of eompo- nent parts for weapons.

Mr. McElroy said in his testi-

By ALAN DONNELLY ~ Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)—The Commons
broadcasting committee Tuesday voted, by a narrow majority, to crack CBC secrecy on advertis- ers’ payments for sponsored tele- vision programs.
Despite the stated disapproval of Revenue Minister Nowlan, a group of Progressive Conserva- tives carried by a vote of 11 to 9 a motion which will require the CBC to disclose how much of the cost of TV productions is covered by sponsor payments.
Mr. Nowlan, backing the opin- ion of CBC vice-president E. L. Bushnell that the disclosure could harm revenues of the _publicly- owned corporation, said pay- ments by individual sponsors should not be given. CLAIM NOT PROVEN
But Art Smith (PC — Galgary South), sponsor of the motion, said that claim had not been proved. He criticized what he called ‘‘the rather loose way” in which the CBC negotiates what the sponsor payments shall be.
As part of Mr. Nowlan’s argu- ment—he said it was his personal view, not a government. stand— the minister said that next year

“In d@ few months,” he said, the Borad of Broadcast Govern- ors will receive applications for these competitive stations and “the monopoly will have been broken.”
Mr. Nowlan, who reports to Parliament for the CBC, has in- dicated previously the govern- ment was ending the “single sta- tion” policy of allowing only one TV outlet to operate in a single area. But Tuesday was the first time he had said how- soon this will come about.
SOLE ’RIGHT AREAS
At present CBC TV stations have sole broadcasting rights in six major centres: Halifax, Mont- real, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver.
J. W. Pickersgill UL — Bona- vista-Twillingate) said that if the committee voted for Mr. Smith's motion, it also should insist on private operators disclosing their costs and advertising revenues. That would be an unfair way of dealing with private business.
The CBC already has provided the committee with cost and rev- enue figures for a number of pro- grams without identifying the

OTTAWA (CP) — Government Proposals to expand unemploy- ment insufiance coverage and in- crease costs to workers and em- ployers are shaping into the big- gest parliamentary battle of the session.
Sitting after sitting of the Com- mons industrial relations commit- tee — which is studying the gov- ernment measure—has exploded into verbal crossfire with veteran ‘Paul Martin (L. — Essex East) leading the foray against the Pro- gressive Conservative bill. 7
Chairman R. Hardy Small (PC —Toronto - Danforth) drew new Opposition outbursts Tuesday as he demanded that the committee, which has been meeting mornings also hold afternoon sessions while the House is sitting to speed up consideration of the bill, tagged by Mr. Martin as containing ‘‘un- fair impositions” and ‘hidden

The study is also concerning itself with the outlook for an all- water movement of commodities between the Atlantic Provinces and the Great Lakes area, and to determine the probable effect of the seaway on industry in the Atlantic area.
Mr. Mann however expressed disappointment that an applica- tion requesting lower seaway tolis for interprovinciel traffic had not been found acceptable to the St. Lawrence Seaway tolll’s commission.
The executive manager’s re- port says the commission has been of assistance to shippers associations where requested but it pointed out that the success or failure of these associations de- pends entirely upon the: interest of these participating companies and the efforts made at the local association level.
