Death Fast Threatened
NEW DELHI (AP) The bearded 74-year-old Sikh leader, Master Tara Singh, Monday de- clared his “irrevocable determi- nation” to fast unto death if Punjab state legislation control- ling Sikh religious institutions is not repealed.
At a press conference, Tara Singh said the legislation was “‘a diabolical action to disintegrate 6,000,000 Sikhs so as to eventu- ally absorb them in Hinduism.” He will start his fast April 16, he said.
The Punjab law regulates the election of officers of Sikh reli-

Tax Cuts
Are Britons Hope
By KEN METHERAL Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) — Derek Heath-
coat Amory introduces his second budget today and ali Britain is awaiting the event with the air of children watching a box of fa- vors being umvrapped at a birth- day party.
All the evidence suggests that the chancellor of the exchequer will bring down a budget featur- ing tax-cuts and other measures designed to increase production and give the country a healthy shove along the road to increased prosperity. i
In fact expectations are run- ning so high there is a danger that mo matter what relief the tall, stoop-shoukiered chancellor offers tax-weary Britons, his con- cessions will come as an anti- climax.
Most economic experts are pre- dicting concessions totalling be- tween £200,0 9,000 and £300,000,- 000, including some relief in the fields of income and purchase tax, :
SHILLING OF.
Some Conservative circles pre- dict Amory will -t up to a shill- ing off the income tax, which would reduce the standard rate to 7s 6d on the pound with proportionate cuts in the lower rates. But this would cost the treasury an estimated £270,000,-
+ |000 and a more realistic predic-
tion would be a cut of not more than 6d.
Other predictions include:
A cut of about 10 per cent in the various levels of purchase tax — Britain’s version of the sales tax — which now range from five per cent on some household articles up to 60 per
cars, radios and records. A 10- per-cent cut would reduce treas- ury revenue by about £50,000,- 000.
Sixpence off gasoline tax, which would help hold down transport costs and business overheads, woukt cost another £60,000,000. CUT PROPERTY TAX
With the Conservative admini- stration encouraging Britons to buy their own homes, the chan- cellor may decide to reduce the schedule “‘A’’ property tax, which would mean a total saving of some £14,000,000 for 5,500.00 owner - occupiers. The schedule “A” tax, long criticized by Con- servatives, is based on the in come owner - occupiers would receive if they rented their homes.

Price Squeeze Is Continuing
TRURO (CP) — H. H. Hannam, president of the Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture, said- here Monday Canadian farmers are in “a continuing price squeeze” that deprives them of their share of Canada’s prosperity.
Dr. Hannam told an audience of farmers from five Nova Scotia counties that the position of the farmer is similar to that of “‘the businessman selling at a loss but proud of his turnover.”
The risk and gamble must be taken out of farming, and _ agri- culture must be placed on a sound business basis.
Dr. Hannam. who will speak at Lawrencetown, N.S., tonight said Canadian farm economy is expected to increase in the near ‘future. This will influence Cana- dian farm policies. Rising capital and operating costs and the lag- ging world market for farm products also will be important factors. - .
He said “agriculture has been forging ahead in amny spheres. In farm production, an agricultu-
ral revolution hag ‘aken place.”

Heath Macquarrie (PC=— Queens), in a Commons discus- sion on research, said Canada’s universities must play a funda- mental role in research of all kinds. But research could never be separated entirely from teach- inc.
Yet Canadian university t ers were often over-worked university equipment — including essential libraries—was often in- adequate.
ECONOMIC TROUBLE
In too many instances “trained minds are troubled by economic considerations which limit theit usefulness in research.” 2
Mr. Macquarrie — who has taught at the University of Tar onto, McGill, Brandon College and Acadia Universi'y said teachers often must supplemenl income by spending their sum mers teaching at summer schools instead of in research and -st to improve their background knowledge.
Grants for teachers’ sabbetical leave were given “reluctantly and niggardly, if at all.”
