Court Rules

Dominion

And Provinces Cannot Legally Exchange Powers,

OTTAWA. Oct. 3 -. (OP) -- The supreme Court of Canada. settling a long-standing dispute. ruled to- day that the Federal and Provisi- cal Governments cannot legally exchange the powers given them under the constitution.

In a unanimous judgment, the

Court said one government cannot .

delegate to another a power as- signed to it by the constitution - the British North America Act.

The case has been before the supreme Court since before appeals to the Privy council were abolished last December, hence” it could be appealed. '

Thea judgment, delivered in a test case brought before the Court by the Nova Scctin Government, will have no effect on existing Federal-Provincial taxation and other agreements.

Informed Government sources raid the judgment might delay in- suguration of an over-all social iecurity program. Social security :omcs under provincial jurisdiction ind there now is no possibility of the Provinces delegating their powers to the Federal Government. A constitutional a nt will be required to pave the way for the type of social security legislation -ome governments contemplate.

Agreements Not Affected

Justice Minister Garson said in an interview that taxation agree- ments. now in effect with.all Prov- inces except Ontario and Quebec. will not be affected. The agree-

Report 150 left Homeless in Padou

PADOU, Que., Oct. 3 4(OP) - I

A fire, fanned by high winds. to- day destroyed one fifth of this tiny Matapedia. County village about 35 mils east of Rimousiri. No one was reported injured. The fire. which burned itself out before firefighters could do much to contain it, destroyed the east portion of the village reduc- ing to ashes 16 homes, two barns,

several wood sheds and other small establishments. Dr. Rene LePage, chairman of

the Red Cross disaster committee at Mont Joli, Que, said about 150 persons were made homeless. Earl- ier. D. H. Lanceitc. Canadian National Railways agent here. estimated not more than 50 per- sons were hcmciess in the village, built in squarelike fashion.

Dr. LciPage said t'he fire started from a faulty electric wiring in is house. The occupying family was away at the time.

Gale Spreads Flames

i

A northwest wind of gale pro- portions quickly carried the flames across the eastern part of the vil- lage. Other parts of the village were not endangered.

Efforts of firefighters were curbed by lack of water. although water was made available by C. N. R. tank cars and Government pumps were bringing water from a nearby swamp.

The village of 900 population is made up of about '15 residences. some commercial establishments. barns and sheds.

Padoii has no industry except a wood frame plant that employs three men. Mostly it serves the needs of farmers living in this rugged farm district.

The fire is believed to have started from a short circuit in the

Parish Priest Albert Lam- ontagne. who lost his parish hall in the blaze, was one of the first to spread the alanm and to call for outside help.

Assistance Arrives

Nearly 400 persons, many com- ing from outside places like Says- bec and Amqui. rushed in by truck and offered to help fight the fire. -"There was no water here. so there wasn't much we could do," Mr. Lancetie said. .

The C. N. R. sent tank cars to st. Noel and brought back wafer to help douse the flames.

The Department of Lands and Forests also provided a tank truck and installed it in a nearby swamp to pump water.

As long as the wind raced in the same direction there was no dan- ger to the rest of the village. But men worked feverishly to put out the wind-fanned embers with what water was available.

The wind was still blowing hard tonight and a bulldozer was called to work all night pushing earth over the ruined eastern section of the town.

(AP) - United Nations air power today blasted Red supply arteries in North Korea but searched in vain for signs of a Communist de- fence line against South Korean forces advancing 50 miles beyond the 38th parallel.

Pilots claimed they knocked out 05 camouflaged trucks in a Red convoy moving south Tuesday from the direction of Chinese ' Manchuria. Carrier- based and land-based planes pres- sed widespread aerial attacks.

New Atrocities

In South Korea. the mop-up of disorganized Reds by U. N. liber- ation forces disclosed evidence of new Communist atrocities.

A United States officer. Col. Francis Gillette, said gruesome photographic proof would be sent in lihe United Nations that the Reds bayonetted. shot and burned to death more than 700 civilians, including children. at Yangpyong. 30 miles east of Seoul.

”It will be extremely difficult io prevent retaliation measures in the future." Gillette's report said.

Soulih Korean marines who oc- cupied ihe naval base of Mokpo in Southwest Korea. reported the Reds massacred 500 civilians before fleeing the burning city.

South Korean forces racing along the east coast made the deep pene- tration inio Norlih Korea.
