0'1'1'AWA, May 341 -(CP) -The war pensions' fight has blown up into the biggest parliamentary battle over vet:-rans' legislation in the last three years and one of the biggest since the war.

It was carried to new lengths today when the three parties in Opposition turned two meetings of the Commons' Veterans Com- mittee into more than four hours of debate concerning a govern- ment proposal to help a minority of war pensioners who can't work.

Indlcsitlons in the end were that the government is liable to find itself asked one way or another to consider an across- the-board increase in war pension rates for the first time since 1948.

Today's fight revolved around a motion by Col. A.J. Brooks (PC- Royal) which eventually was de- tested by a recorded vote. 19-12. Capt. George Cruickshank (L- Praser Valley) joined members of the Progressive Conservative, C. C.

F. and social Credit Parties in supporting Col. Brooks.

The gist of the argument is this:

The Government has proposed to pay war pensioners who can't work and can't get help through war veterans allowances an "un- cmployability supplement" of 520 0. month for single. 940 for mar- ried men.

gere for the fishing industry here are still far from complete, it was learned yesterday. One of the main dramdbaoks to building thorn in the Province is the lack of a marina slip and adequate lacti- ities for servicing the' boats once they were built. Another factor is the look of skilled labor. The 00 foot boats would require some method of hcuiln-g them up on a slip and while this would not present any serious problem in it- self the lack of a slip in the first. place prevents their construction here.

However, plans are still being seriously considered for the build- ing of three more draggers, but they probably will be built else- where than on Prince Edward Is- land. it is expected that, some matter will be reached within the next few weeks.

Herman W. Steinkraus oi Bridgeport, Conn., chairman of the i Chamber's executive committee.- also chargcd that the Administra- tion's policies have been "delib- erately encouraging" inflation.
