Most of the papers quoted ave been condemned individually, and all have been condemned collect- ively, as "lying capitalistic tools" and "controlled". But that does not stop Soviet-bloc delegates from quoting them for their own purposes.

Underway To End Health Plan

LONDON. Feb. 1 - (AP) - Aneurln Bevan charged tonight that Prime Minister Churchill's

Conservative Government is using Britain's financial crisis as an ex- cuse to destroy socialized medicine. In what many politicians regard as his all-out bid to seize control of the Labor Party from former Prime Minister Attlee, the fiery left-winger attacked a government bill which calls for sharp cuts in "tree" parts of Bitainls tax-sup- ported medical set-up.

Labor wants to try to unseat the Churchill Government on the health scheme issue, and Bevan's left-wing followers are booming him as prime ministerial timber.

Passage of the bill, Bevan told the House of Commons, would "mean the free health service is dead."

The bill cutting the health ser- vice, introduced by Health Minis- ter Harry Crookshank, comes up next week for second reading. The Conservatives. with 9. majority of i4, are expected to push the bill through.

Attlee himself earlier assailed the bill, a. port of sweeping econ- omies aimed at preventing nation- al bankruptcy. but political observ- ers feel that Bevan stole the show with his more vitriolic attack.

Bevan, 53-year-old former Welsh coal miner, master-minded the health plan adopted when the La- bor Government came to power af- ter the war.

The new legislation would slash the cost of Britain's socialized med- iciiie by E2l,000,000 pounds a year.

By sharply modifying the "free" provisions of the service. that am- ount now will be paid by patients.

Without these reductions.,,cost,of the program would amount to within i22.000.000 of the i400.000.- 000 ceiling which both the old Labor Government and the new Conservative cabinet have agreed must be kept.

The Health Service cuts form part of the sweeping government economies and restrictions on im- ports and consumption which Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. Butler has outlined to parliament. But his aim is to prevent national bankruptcy and put the pound back on its feet in relation to the dollar.

The bill seeks to impose scharge

OTTAWA. Feb. 1 - (OP) -- A Prince Edward Island Supreme Court ruling has cast doubt over the powers of 10 Provincial Mar- keting Boards to deal in interpre- vincial and export trade.

It also has thrown doubt on the constitutional rights of Parliament to delegate powers to organizations not directly responsible to it. but which are organized and constit- uted by provlncial governments. These powers and rights are open to question as a result of yes- terday's ruling by the P.E. I. Court that the 1949 Federal Agricultural Products Marketing Act is ultra vires - outside the jurisdiction - of Parliament.

However. the issues are not fin- ally resolved by the Provincial Court ruling. The decision likely uill be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada either by the Fed- eral Government, which may ask to intervene. or by the P. E. I. Po- tato Marketlng Board. which brought the test case before the Court.

The Board sought to test the val- idity of the Federal legislation by bringing action against the Char- lottetown firm of H. B. Willis. Inc., which opposed the Board's policy to license dealers, make levies. es- tablish minimum prices and regu- late consignment sales.

The Federal Government obtain- ed Parliament's approval to the legislation as a means to stabilize markets and give the producer as much freedom as possible in mar. keting his produce. The 400.000- member Canadian Federation of Agriculture for years has spear-
