iPC'S I Flatten Motion By» Liberals On The Budget, ’
,"O‘I'DAWA (OP) — A second Want-of-confidence motion on the “decal government’s budget pol- icies was flattened in the Com- mons late Wednesday by the Overwhelming Progressive ‘Con- er majority.
After seven days of debate, the Home voted 161 to 47 against a liberal non - confidence motion. On June 26, a vote of 146 to 43 “Rated 3 CCF motion.
Liberals and the CCF joined Isainst the government in the two Votes hinged on policies set M in Finance Minister Flem- Ing’s budget of June 17.
The Liberal motion charged that the budget “failed” to cope satisfactorily with the recessuon despite a forecast record peace- time deficit of $648,000,000, and that the government is movmg towards greater trade restric- tions.
SPIRIT OF CONFIDENCE Mr. Fleming. speaking just be-
; Ion the vote was taken. said the
budget was prepared in a spirit of confidence in Canada’s future.
As to the allegation that the government was moving towards greater trade restrictions, he said the budget “does not move Canadian policy in the direction of protectionism."
Before Mr. Fleming spoke, Ll- onel C-hevrier (L—Moutreal Lau- rier) criticized the government on the claim it was not taking action on federal-provincial fis- cal matters.
Before the March 31 election, he said, certain definite commit- ments were made by Progres- sive Conservatives—especially in Quebec—on fiscal relations. But so far there had been no indica- tion of any Legislation or of a federal-provincial conference.
He said this showed contradic- tions in the policies of the Con- servative government.

Toronto Blues Governor-Geri
TORONTO (CE—The parents . of .a former Toronto blues singer were waiting here anxiously Wednesday for a telegram that would bring them news of their 25-year-old daughter’s marriage to 51-year-old Lord Listowel, gov- ernorageneral of Ghana.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wise were to have flown to Accra to see blonde, blue-eyed Stephanie mar- tied to the once-divorced peer but moving into their new home prevented the trip.
Mrs. Bessie Wise said: “A call came through from ,Ghana yes- terday (Tuesday) immediately after the wedding, but the line was so bad we couldn’t hear what Stephanie was saying.
“A telegram is on its way and I’m just bursting to hear what our daughter says."
Mr. and Mrs. Wise knew that their daughter had become en- gaged to Lord Listowel but they are still amazed that she now is

FEAR EQUAL RIGHTS
Some European settlers fear de Gaulle means to give the Mos- lem population equal rights in a semi - autonomous Algeria — leaving the settlers outnumbered eight to one.
There were shouts of “Guy Mullet to the Gallows” as the motorcade drove thmugh Algiers -—a reference to the former S'o- cialist premier who was pelted with rotten tomatoes. when he visited the capital early in 1956. Mollet is travelling with de Gaulle on this trip.

“Stephanie was singing with a group called the Blue Stars in a night spot named the Mars Club in Paris two years ago when she first met Lord Listowel,” said Mrs. Wise.
She said that he was so im- pressed by Stephanie’s looks and singing that he met her after the show.
After that, explained Mrs. Wise, Lord Listowel became a regular visitor to Paris where her daughter was appearing.
The family is planning to visit Ghana to see the couple. After that they hope Lord Listowel and his bride will visit them in Tor- onto.

Canada Will Not Follow Iceland
OTTAWA (C:P)—The Canadian government apparently has no intention-immediately at least —of following Iceland’s decision to extend offshore limits to 12 miles, it was indicated Wednes-
day. _
Iceland officially made her de- cision known Monday. The exten- sion of limits, banning foreign fishing boats a distance of 12 miles out rather than the present distance of four miles, goes into effect Sept. 1.
An external affairs official said Canada’s view is that the unilat- eral Iceland decision is “hypo- thetical” until it actually goes into effect.
Report Truce Is Negotiated In Tripoli Port
BEllRUT (Reuters) — Lebanese rebels and government forces in the Tripoli port area Wednesday negotiated a gentleman’s agree- ment barring the exchange of heavy fire.
The rebel tribesmen negotiated the deal after putting out white truce flags and sending envoys behind the government lines. They argued the continued use of heavy fire threatened unneces- sary civilian casualties and was inhumane.
Two hours later, the rebel del- egation had agreed to stop using mortars and grenades and the army had pnomised it would stop firing artillery. Then the insurg- ents in this seven-rweek-long civil war were taken back to their own lines by- an army escort and light firing resumed.
However, heavy fighting con- tinued in the city of Tripoli itself.

WASEEIINGTON (AP) — The House of Representatives handed President Eisenhower a stinging setback Wednesday by cutting foreign aid funds $72,000,000—and ignoring his warning that its ac- tion “will encourage Communist imperialists."
After beating all attempts to restore funds chopped. out by its appropriations committee, the House passed and sent to the Senate bywa roll-call vote of 253- 126 a bill putting up $3.078,092,500 in new cash'to finance the aid program during the fiscal year that started Tuesday.
Eisenhower had asked tor $350,092,500. The house cut that by $872,000,000 and voted to ap- propriate $597,500,000 less than Congress authorized last Week in a separate law. The total ap- proved is $357,717,500 less than the program was given last year.

Overaall control of the Prince Edward Isl-and potato industry will be vested in a greatly-ex- panded Potato Producers Associa- tion, if suggestions approved at a growers meeting held at Prince of Wales last night are put in effect.
Called as a follow—up to a sim- ilar meeting held April 21, the meeting was given a report by the Nominating Committee nam- ed previously. Mr. J. Lincoln Dewar was named Chairman and Hon. Eugene Cullen, secretary.
The meeting approved a mo- tion asking the Association mem- bership to amend its present con- stitution so as to provide for a 18-member Board of Directors, and further requested that the Association take under considera- tion the replacement of its pres- ent directorship with 18 men chosen by the general meeting.
