Prime Minister Drew's Criticism

OTTAWA. April 28- (AP) .A Prime Minister St. Laurent, in an angry mood, today told the Commons that while the govern- ment has no desire to prevent debate or divisions it may find it necessary to decide when de- bales will take place.

He spoke after George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader, criticized the Government's hand- ling of business of the Commons and the absence of cabinet minis- ters during debates.

The discussion occurred when Mr. St. Laurent presented a mo- tion to give government business precedence over private mem- bers' bills and resolutions on all Mondays after today. In a div- ision. called by the Progressive Conservatives, the motion carried 103 to 42. It was opposed by the Progressive Conservative, C. C. F. and Social Credit Parties.

M. J. Caldwell, C.C.l-P. leader. and Solon Low, Social Credit lead- er. said they did not think the rights of private members should be taken away until the Com- mons has a clear idea of. what legislation the government has in mind.

Mr. Drew called for assurances that no fall session will be held this year as in the last three years. Mr. St. Laurent made no reference to this point in his

reply. The session. said Mr. Drew, will enter the third calendar

month tomorrow and. outside of su,piementary estimates. it has passed only one bill-a measure providing for compensation to farmers suffering losses as a re- sult of the outbreak of foot-and- mouth disease.

MUNSAN. Korea. April 29 - (Tuesday)-(AP) --The Commun- ists studied today an undisclosed Allied proposal for solving issues blocking a Korean armistice.

The proposal. described only as an over-all solution. was made at " ” y's session of top-level neg- otiators at Pantnuniom. It moved the negotiations. now nearly 10 months old. into a new and per- haps decisive phase

The Reds agreed to a United Nations Command suggestion for a news blackout on future sessions of full-dress delegations. Then they called for an indefinite recess

in the talks pending a. study of the Allied proposal.

Negotiations are deadlocked on three main issues: Prisoner ex- change. Allied refusal to accept Russia as one of six neutral truce inspectors, and Communist insist- ence on the right to build and re- pair military alrfieids.

After Mondayis plenary meet- ings-the first since Fcb. is-a U N. spokesman. Brig.-Gen. William Nuoirois. announced:

"The United Nations Command feels that an over-all solution to the problem is possible and for that reason such an over-all soi- ution was proposed today."

C.N.ii. Through Buying Steam Locomotives

OTTAWA. April 3 -(CF)--The Canadian National Railways will never buy another steam locomo- tive. Fresidcni: Donald Gordon to- day told the commons special rail- way committee.

Giving his annual accounting to parliament, the head of the gov- ernment-owned system said the G.N.R.. now has 2: 95,000,000. five- year program under way for con- version to diesels and expects to be completely cheugcdv..t0.tllst.motiyc, power in 16 or 20 years.

some commitee members expres- sed doubts about varlous aspects of the change-over.

Mr. Mcbure

W. Chester s. Mcl..ure (PG- Qucens) said diesel operation on Prince Edward Island already has thrown men out of work.

Ciarie Giliis (CGF-cape Bret- on south) said it would be a "heavy handicap" to the Nova sco- tia coal industry to lose existing sales to the C.N.R.., which now buys about 1,200,000 tons a year in that province.

Jean Francois Pouiiot (f..-Tem- iscouata) objected to the C.N.R.'s proposal to close the company's repair shops at Riviere du Loup, Quc.. when its diesel program gets into full swing. Repair work in the cast is to be concentrated at Point St. Charles. Que, and Moncton, N.B. Atlantic Region headquart- era.

Mr. Pouliot also contended the

company's Moncton office was "sabotaging" Riviera du Ioup. in the Atlantic Region. President

Gordon said that was not true. Answers Labor Question

Dealing with the labor problem raised by Mr. McLure. the C.N.R. ya ” i said there certainly will be some "disruption and change" in the C.N.R.'s labor pattern as the diesel program expands.

But every effort was being made to retain staff. Schools were being opened to train personnel in main- tenance and operation of diesels Every man wanting to could equip himself for a diesel job.
