R A. Butler gave no details of the British aims during a press mnference with Canadian corres- pondents in preparation for his de- parture Friday for the United states and Canada. ”We are aiming to take a. greater part in Canadian development: he said. "we' propose to make the dollars available." ,,

During his talk. Butler spoke of the British Government's gratitude to the federal and provincial gov- ernments of Canada for offers of iinnd-relief measures.

He said conversations with Can- adlan officials indicated they are svmpathetic to investment in the Commonwealth but have "so much in do at home" there isn't much spare cash available for investing outside Canada.

On Anglo-Canadian trade. he m.ri Britain hopes a "more inti- mate relationship" in -mutualr irkde :an be developed. l-le stressed he ines not expect an immediate de- vision on the Commonwealth pro- 901818 in Washington.

Makes ilililified Offer Al Second Press Conference

WASHINGTON. (AP)-President Eisenhower has voiced willingness to meet Joseph Stalin and thresh out differences splitting East and Wat. Eisenhower imposed condi- tions. however. that the Russians have turned down repeatedly in

the past. . his qualified

Eisenhower made offer Wednesday in response to ouestlons at his second press con- fersnce. He said he would meet anybody anywhere. even half-way to Russia. to advance the cause of peace. But he said he would do so only if any agreements made were self-enforcing - that is. if there were safeguards against vio- latlon.

Russia has rejected "self-enforc- ing" agreements consistently. A notable case in point is the often- pressed United States proposal for development of atomic eenrgy un- der United Nations auspices. The Russians have refused to permit U.N. or any other inspection teams on soviet soil.

V Other Topics

Bombarded with questions from more than 200 newspaper men, Eisenhower also touched on a num- ber of other topics.

l-le said among other things:

ALBERTA SPEAKER - Pete: Dawson is beginning his 17th year as Speaker of the Alberta Legisla- ture, the longest anyone has held that office.

orvrawa. (OP)-An l8-month- 9”

nlll agreement under which the United States undertook to build and operate two-thirds of a net- work of radar stations in Canada was disclosed to the commons Wednesday.

Defence Minister Claxton tabled ill exchange of notes dated Aug. 1. 1951. providing for the construction ind opeartion of "an extension of the continental radar system.”

The notes implied that the U. B. would build and man two-thirds or the stations but set out that the Way is open for Canada eventually to take over U. 8. stations.

Mr. Claxton also tabled an ex- change of notes of last November under which the U. B. is given authority to build "important" minmunlcations facilities in the area of stephenville. Nf'id.. which were said to be of value to the U. 5-. Canada and the North At- lantic alliance as a whole.

Nagr:Fread On Assault Charge

RALEIGH. N. C.. (AP)-North Carolina's Supreme Court has freed a Negro sharecropper convicted of assaulting a white farm girl al- though he got no closer to her than 65. feet.

Mack Ingram was convicted last November of assaulting 17-year- old Willie Jean Oswell. who said she was frightened when he leercd at her. Judge Frank Armstrong gave Ingram a six-month sus- pended sentence.

Chiei Justice William Devin held Wednesday that evidence was in- sufficient to make out a case of assault.

He attributed this not so much to activities of persons who like himself. turned against commu- nism and now are fighting it, as to "world events, purge trials. humanities practiced by the Soviet Union."

So far as his own experience went, "there was no direct attempt to influence teaching” but there "always was an indirect influence through Marxism."

Davis was the first witness as the un-American activities com- mittee began public hearing on communism in education.

UITAWA, (OP) - A provision in the federal budget could let a person earn several thousand dol- lars a year without paying income tax.

But a government spokesman said Wednesday that few taxpay- ers, if any. are ill a position to use it to beat the tax man com- pletely.

The provision is an enlargement of one that has been in effect since 1949, under which taxpayers could deduct, from personal in- come tax payable, 10 per cent of dividends they received from Can- adian corporations. Hhe tax cre- dit now has been expanded to 20 per cent.

y'.l'o Encourage Investment

"Purpose of the move, Finance Minister Abbott said in his budget speech. was to encourage Cana- dian investment in Canadian firms.

It was criticized in the Com- mons Tuesday by M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader. and J. M. Macdon- nell, Progressive Conservative fl- nencial critic. It was defended Wednesday by Jean Lesage. par- liamentary assistant to the finance minlste

Few Able To Take Advantage Of Tax Dodging Provision

economic experts, Mr. Coldwell calculated that a married. child- less man with no other income than the dividends subject to the credit could draw up to 39,760 a year without paying personal in- come tax. That would exempt him, too, from the two-per-cent special levy for old age pensions.

Figuring About Correct

A financial department eiopert confirmed that Mr. Coldwell's fig- uring was just about correct.

As the C.C.F. leader had it work- ed out, the investment income of 59,760 would be subject to the married exemption of 32,000, leav- ing net taxable income of 31,760. The normal tax on that would be 31,597.60 plus the 360 ceiling on the old age pension levy.

Above this, there would be the four-per-ent surtax on investment income above 52.400. That would be another 3294.40. making a total of 81,952 in all.

But that SL952 just equals the 20-per-cent credit on s9,700, thus eliminating the tax.

Mr. Coldwell called the situation i"lncredlbie." and Mr. Macdonnell said it would not be of much help
