Be Increased Immediately

OTTAWA (CP) - Progressive Conservative D o n a l d Fleming Thursday called on the govern- ment to act now. not wait for sum- mer. in raising the social welfare payments announced in the bud- get.

"There is no need for any fur- ther delay," he said as he ent- ered the Commons budget debate with a harsly - worded attack on the budget preaeted a week ago by Finance Minister Harris.

The member for Toronto Eglin-

ton. runner - up for his party's leadership in December, said that if it were not for the approaching election pensioners still would be waiting for the government to boost payments. 3 ”They would still be waiting but for the -extremities in which this lmoribund government finds it- pelt."

CARSON REPLIES

Justice Minister Garson. follow- ing Mr- Fleming in the debate. said the Conservatives have ex- pressed "a policy of complete ir- responsibility."

In the face they had called for bigger tax cuts

of inflation.

save but to spend more.

The budget's tax cuts would amount to one per cent of the fed- eral tax bill in the coming fiscal year Mr. Harris still would col- lect 821,000,000 more in taxes.

PENSIONS INCREASED

Mr. Fleming referred to the budgets announccm t that. effec- tive July 1, old age pensions and other welfare payments would be lncrcased to 546 from 340 a month. and that family allowances for cer- tain age groups of children would be raised by 81 monthly Sept. 1.

Mr. Fleming said the budget ”smacks of it death-bed repent-

ance.

The Liberals talked of the St. Laurent administration as Can- ada's eight best years. Yet in that

p period the federal government sur- pluses had totalled 5757.000.000. The purchasing power of the 1949 dollar had fallen to 83 cents. Can- ada's net foreign indebtedness had risen from 331.700.000.000 at the end of 1949 to more than 39.000.000.000 at the end of 1956.

Mr. Fleming. referring to fed- eral-provinciai tax relations. said the federal government has had a "stiff-necked. blind and unyielding

debt because it held the lion's share of joint tax fields-personal corporation taxes and succession -duties. Provincial borrowing last year had risen 68 per cent. Mr. Garson defended the federal-pro- vincial tax agreements as "among the most outstanding and benefi- cial" documents ever produced in Canada-

IIEFEIIS T0 FROST

He said the new agreements pro- vide S64D,000.000 in payments to he provinces-25 per cent greater than last year and almost double total provincial expenditures in 1945.

The justice minister referred to recent criticisms by Ontario's Con- servalive Premier Frost. He sa' Mr. Frost had said that in view of a big federal surplus the prov- inces were being unfairly treated.

Mr. Garson said Mr. Frost was criticizing the federal - provincial tax agreements and. in effect. was -criticizing himself for having signed Ontariois agreement.

The Ontario premier had spoken of financial problems facing On-

tario. New Brunswick and Nova.

CAIRO (AP) - UN Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjold is taking the line that Israel will have to withdraw from a little tri- angle in the Negev Desert to es- tablish legal right to send ships through the Suez Canal.

This was reported by inforoed diplomats as Hammarskjold met Egyptian President Nasser Thurs- day to explore Middle East issues. They include such vaiied prob- lems as the Gaza Strip. Suez and lihe Gulf of Aqaba that have be-

come snarled in the same ball of

twine.

Because one topic almost al- ways leads to the others. they be- gan their talks at Nasser's house without an agenda.

Before they met. Iiarnmarskjold

talked with Egyptian Foreign Min- ister Mahmoud I-lawzi for three hours.

-MANY SESSIONS

i In between he held sessions with

Mai.-Gen. E- L. M. Burns, Emergency Force Commander;

Dr. Ralph Bunche. UN undersec-.

retary; Lt. - Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler, in charge of the UN clearance operations in the Suez Canal. and other aides.

. The connection between the lit- tle triangle in the Negev. the so-

icalled El Auja demilitarized zone.

i At present there is a bad state of compliance with the armistice. It was all but wrecked last fall with Israel's invasion of Egypt.

Israel's withdrawal from occu- pied territory. however. was a step toward restoring the armistice. If it is fully restored. in Hammer- skjold's view. Egypt no longer could argue legally the right to stop Israeli shipping.

But advance indications are that Egypt will balk at dropping bel- ligerent rights.

Hammarskjold also will try to deploy the UNES along both sides of the armistice line. but again this cannot be forced on either party. Both sides must consent. and up to this time Israel has emphatically refused to let UN troops on her side.

The talks here have been tag- ged as "exploratory" by UN aides and no solid greements are ex- .pccted to be announced.

i They said whether Hammar- skjold continues on to Israel for conferences there depends on "de- velopments."

LONDON (AP) - Britain's con- troversial homicide bill became law Thursday when it was given royal assent in the House of Lords

.by a royal commission acting on behalf of the Queen.

The bill. introduced by the gov arnment as a compromise in the nine-year-long dispute on whether to abolish capital punishment, re- stricts the death penalty to five classes of "capital murder” and to repeated killers.

The five classes cover murder by shooting or causing explosions. killing police. killing prison offic- ers. kllling during theft and killing while avoiding arrest.

The bill prescribes life impris- onmcnt for "non-capital" murd- ers. including poisoning.
