On Unemplo

OTTAWA (CP)- Donald Flem- ing charged Tuesday the federal government has shown "complete evidence of irresponsibiiity' in meeting rising unemploym t.

Th a Progressive Conservative member for Toronto Egiinton said in the Commons that unemploy- ment has become "a stark. ugly fact" with more than 600.000 lob- leas. Some unemployed men were deliberately deserting their fam- ilies so that their dependents could qualify for municipal relief assist- ance. '

Mr. Fleming. speaking in the sixth day of a spasmodic Commons debate on unemployment which started March 1. said the country still is waiting to hear a concrete government proposal for meeting the situation.

"It is complete evidence of ir- responslbuity on the part of those who occupy the treasury benches.”

N0)?-CONFIDENCE MOTIONS

The debate. adjourned last Wed- nesday. resumed on two motions of non-confidence in the govern- ment. A CCF motion demands im- mediate fcderal acceptanc of re- sponsibility for care of all able- bodied unanployed and action on a long-term program of public in-

Latest unemployment figures re- leased Monday showed 613.439 job applications on file at National Employment Service offices at Feb. 17. The bureau of statistics estimated that at the same than 379,000 persons were without jobs and looking for work.

Mr. Fleming said the federal government had the main respon- sibillty of meeting the problem. Yet it had not even prepared for present conditions. it should have made agreements with the prov- inces long ago. but it had dilly- dallied and lost precious time by refusing even to call a conference witht the provinces an unemploy- men . .

Rail Carriers

Reported

Recommended For Better Deal On Agreed Charges

(By John LeBIanc. Canadian Press Staff Writer)

OTTAWA. lCPl - The federal royal commission on railway agreed charges. it was learned

Tuesday. has recommended that Parliament make it easier for the rail carriers to apply this type of freight rate.

The one-man royal commission of Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon gener- ally has turned down proposals for restricting the railways' use of the agreed charge technique. Main proposals came from com- peting truckers and from the Al- berta government.

The report is expected to be tabled in the Commons in about two weeks.

The investigation of Mr. Justice Turgeon, former Canadian Am- bassador to Ireland and now am- bassador to Portugal. lasted sev- eral months last year. It follow- ed complaints to the federal gov- ernment that fhe railways were misusing the agreed cha rge method of rate setting allowed under the transport act.

RCMP Commissioner Gives Opinion On Drug Addiction

OTTAWA iCPi-RCMP commis- sioner L. H. Nicholson says drug addiction in Canada will be stomped out only if addicts are ”compulsor.'ly isolated or quar- antined” by the government for rehabilitation.

He told a Senate committee studying traffic in narcotics that the menace cannot be eradicated by more rigid police enforce- ment or by legal provision of drugs to addicts.

Commissioner Nicholson said Tuesday that as long as addicts are left at large "they provide the market for traffickers-- and by association encourage others suffering from similar personality, character weaknesses or instabil- ity to become drug users."

"They also. as a corollary, im- pose a load upon society through their illegal activities and com- plete lack of productivity." he said. "i therefore feel-and i think this view is held by many it not most other police officials -that the only hope for the pos- sible rehabilitation of these ad- dicts and for the eradication of

the drug traffic is that they be ompulsorily isolated or Quar- antined." 0 - Addicts should be released only when those qualified to JUCISC them are convinced there is real hope of rehabilitation.

"One essential control to my mind." he said, "would be suit- able employment in an area far removed from that in which the individual lived whilst addicted."

Commissioner Nicholson said his proposed plan would be ex- pensive. l-iowevcr. the present cost of enforcement. detention and the offences committed by addicts added up to a substantial amount.
