OTTAWA (CP) - Mines Min- ister P. dham Friday outlined some improvements in Canada's economically-troubled cc;l indus- try and rejected opposition pro- posall for a national fuel policy.

He said that coal production, which has slipped in recent years, increased by 314,000 tons to 15,-

014,000 tons in the recently ended fiscal year. Mr. Prndham. in a Commons

discussion of his departmental es- timates, said the situation still is serious for Alberta's coal industry. steadily losing markets by the switch to diesel locomotives by the railways.

But Nova Scotia coal operators w :e c u t t i ii g production costs through mechanization, and steady increases were forecast in the use of coal in the Marit.'' : and Prai- ries for fuel-powered electric-gem

REJE '5 FUEL BOARD

The minister rejected, however, three opposition pa0p0SElS for strengthening the position of coal.

Clairie Giliis, CCF member who represents the coal-mining consti- tuency of Cape Breton South. re- newed demands for establishment of a national fuel board with power to inforce an national pol- icy.

He said that if the present situa- tion is allowed to continue on fuel will destroy another, with atomic energy "just around the corner "as another source of power.

The fuel board could examine all areas of Canada and determ- ine which fuel is the most eco- nomical for each area. Quebec

Mr. Prndham said the Canadian people would not accept directives saying what fuel they can and cannot use. Such a policy would not W1 k.

IMPORTS LIMITATION

C. II. Johnston (SC-Bow River) had proposed limitation of imports of US. coal and a Zoning of the Canadian market.

Mr. Prndham said restricting imports is not "a positive ap- proach" although the government had power to do so. Blocking off a part of Canada as a market for Canadian - produced coal was "a nice idea" but it would not work. Most industrial installations in On- tario were designed to burn a type of U.S. coal which Alberta could not supply.

lion is in his home province of Alberta. But the last fiscal year ended March 31 saw a slowing up in that trend.

Production in Alberta increased in 4.621.000 ions from 4.591.000 3 year earlier. The mines there. largely dependent in the railway mark.-t. had lost further sales by the switch to diesel locomotives.

The solution to Alberta's coal problem was establishment of more industries. Both the Alberta and federal government should be prepared to help.

DECLINE IN N.S.

Nova Scotia coal output de- cli':ed in the last year by about 100,000 tons due to closing of a high-cost'mine, But mechaniza- tion of the Sydney collieries had begun to show results in the year with production costs dropping

Shipments of Nova Scotia coal to Quebec and Ontario had de- clined, due mainly to transporta- tion difficulties. In the current fis- cal yezr, federal subventions to help offset freight costs would en- able the province's industry to find markets for its production.

Mr. Prndham said coal produc- tion increased in New Brunswick by 100,000 tons to 880.000. and in Saskatchewan rose to a record 2.- 302,000 tons. in both provinces more coal was being used for electric power.

As for the federal freight sub- ventions, used to .put Canadian coal in a competitive position with imported U.S. coal, they were ex- pected to decline by 31,356,623 to 39,210,250 in the current fiscal year. This was due to higher costs of the U.S. product and reduced

The decision is the result of talks here between British minis- ters and Solom Bandaranaike, new Socialist prime minister of Ceylon.

He wants Britain to leave the bases because he says they "con- flict" with his government's pol- icy of neutrality between the Rus- sian and Western powers.

The bases are Trincomalee and Katunayake. Trincomalee. on the island's northeast coast, is head- quarters of the British East Indies station and has been a British naval base since 1898, It is used for fleet supply and replenishment only and has no facilities for major repaiis.

The Royal Air Force has used the airport at Katunayake-also known as the Negombo station- for the last 12 years, mainly as I staging post for the Far East.

lSAYS "STOP HORSING AROUND"

lWould.

OTTAWA (CP) - The govern- ment's experiment to produce a coal-fired gas turbine engine. un- successful after five years. should be taken out of the laboratory and pushed to completion. an Op- position member said in the Com- nions Friday.

George Nowlan (PC - Digby- Annapolis-Kings) said the govem-

ol merit should '"stop horsing

around" with the project, being undertaken at McGlll University. Montreal.

Mines Minister Prndham said the turbine still is in the experi- mental stage but professor Don- Lia L. Mordell of McGill was "very optimistic."

RUGI: RAIL SAVING He said Prof. Mordell has es- timated that the turbine. it suc- cessful. could mean a saving of from 320.000 to 830,000 a year in fuel for one railway locomotive. "That remains to be proven." the minister added. The turbine lied had recent success in units- serrupted runs but would need long test runs to evaluate feel sav-

model is large and cumbersome. But information from the experi- menl could be applied to smaller models.

TOP PROJECT

Coal-fired turbines were being developed in other countries. but Canada's project was different and. if successful. would be 'de cidedly superior to anything else."

Other countries were drivingthe hot gases direct from the combus- tion chamber through the turbine blades. The Canadian model wag using a heat exchanger to prevent flying ash from col-roding the tar- bine blades.

Mr." Nowlan said Canada's sp-

However. Clarie Gillis (CC?- Cape Breton South) said perfec- tion of the engine will not so've the problems of the coal industry.

Scientists working on the engine had stated it would operate with- out much coal. Other steps would have to be taken to increase coal consumption.

"We should not keep on fanning false hopes that this will save the coal industry." Mr. Gillie said

If the engine was worthwhile. wlw were the coal industry and the railways not contributing to the experiment?

When dealing with estimates on maps. Mr. MacLean appealed to Mr. Prndham to send some of his new and accurate departmental maps to the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation. Speaking of the CBC-TV program "Trans-Canada Hit Parade." He hit out sharply at the map shown on the TV screen

"That map." the Queens mem- ber told the house. ”Shows an abysmal ignorance of geography, especially of the Maritime Prov- inces. They are shown on their map just in the background as a sort of blob and my province is completely missing from the map."

Mr. MacLean's complaint has been made before in the Commons Some seven or eight years ago. the late W. Chester S. MacLure, then conservative member for Que- ens complained that the New York Times had published a purported map of Canada from which the Province of Prince Edward Is- land was missing. He received a profuse apology from the Times on that occasion. With these maps it was impossible to teach geo- graphy properly. Was the Techni- cal Surveys Branch going to do anything about the situation, he asked?

James A. Byrne (L-Kootenay disagreed with Mr. Gillis about the main problem in the de- velopment of the gas turbines
