By JAMES NELSO

OTTAWA (CP) — The Liberal party announced Tuesday a ma- jor revision in its pledge of an ok’ age pension supplement, fol- lowing the Conservative govern- ment’sannouncement tlast week that it will raise the basic pen- sion to $65 a month from $55.

The Liberals now are prom- ising, if elected, to pay a $10 monthly supplement to the new $65 pension immediately legis- lation can be passed.

They previously promised a $20 monthly supplement to the present $55 pension but it would be payable after a one-year wait during which contributions from employees and employers would be built up in a special fund

Paul Martin, Liberal MP for Essex East, made the announce- ment at a luncheon meeting of the national council of the party,

saying he spoke for Liberal Leader Pearson and his col- leagues.

said the Liberals could make this promise hecause the in- erease in the basic pension to $65 from $55, paid to all at age 70. would come out of general tax reventies.” Therefore, it would be unnecessary to wait |a year while contributions for

votes by making promises to the older people of our country.” He said that once the new Libera! plan went into effect it would ‘‘take the welfare of our older citizens out of the auction place in which some of our political parties seem to be at

DISCUSS SECURITY

Mr. Martin spelled out the new promise a“ few hours be- fore the council was scheduled to discuss social security in a plenary session. Before it was a resolution originally drafted for last January's national Lib- eral rally but not acted on them

Year's Wait Dropped Paul Martin Reports

because of shortage of time.

The expected clash hetween delegates who thought the new plan may be going too far and those who felt there were gaps in it failed to materialize. The resolution held over from the rally spoke only in general terms of increasing pensions,

With fewer than 50 delegates present, James Coutts of Cal gary, president of the Young Liberal Federation, moved com currence in the year-old resolu tion. He said the Liberals had a planned program of social welfare and were not consider ing ‘how little we have to give to balance the budget and how much we have to give to win votes."’

The resolution passed by e@ show of hands without debate.

ADOPT REFORM MOTION

In a plenary meeting of the national council earlier Tues day, delegates adopted an elec- toral reform resolution spon- sored hy J. W. Pickersgill, MP for Newfoundland'’s Bonavista Twillingate, which would lower the voting age to 18 from 21 and provide fer payment of major election campaign ex- penses out of the federal treas- ury.

Mr. Pickersgill said the tax. payer should foot the bill for e substantial part of the election expenses of national parties and candidates winning 20 per cent or more of the votes cast in their constituencies

The Picker agill resolution passed over some objections.

Mr. Pickersgill .said he and Quebec Premie?’ “Lesage * had @iscussed. the idea when both

federal Liberal government Mr. Pickersgill said that if a

Liberal government were elected in the next general election, it could work out the details of the legislation in col-

laboration with the Lesage gove -

ernment in Quebec. which has promised a similar move at thie

session of the Quebec legista- ture

The counetl re elected the complete slate of executive of- ficers of the National Liberal Federation including Senator John Connolly of Ottawa as president, and Vice-Presidents Maurice Bourget of Levis, Que. and J. Harper Prowse of Fa monton.
