July 29 - (AP) -- The French Consultative Gaulle‘s constitutional tonight and adopted a left-wing counter-proposal to create a icameral assembly which would draft a new French constitution and while doing it, exercise com- plefb authority over the executive Gen. De Gaulle had proposed d France should enact a new con- stitution or modify the constitution of 1875. Under his plan, if the elec- torate favored a new constitution. it would be asked whether it want- ed the assembly to have complete the constitution or whether it pre- ferred to have the powers divided between the legislative and ecutive branches. The assembly voted 210 to i9 a- gainst the De Gauile plan in a sharp rebuff to the general soon af- ter he had bluntly irarhed that he would "stick to his guns" in the controversy. The assemblys actions are not binding upon the government since it is purely a. consultative organ- ization. Its plan provided for represent- ation of French colonies the projected legislature. Under Gen. De Gaulle's plan. the constitutional referendum would be taken during the October elections. Under the oiflllosition plan, members of the uhlcameral house would be selected during these elections. The project stirred left wing op- lthe assembly for study.

July 29 — Three West Kootenay constituency C.C.F. members were expelled and three others suspended by the executive of the British Columbia branch of the C. C.F. here Saturday. The executive also accepted the resignation of four other members from the constituency and the of the Renata, C.. club's charter. None of the affect- ed individuals attended the close meeting. Frank J. McKenzie, provincial secretary, in a statement today said four of the affected members sent letters in which "they con- demned C. C. F. policies OEJDOSBd by Mr. H. W. Her-ridge, bu did not deny the charges." Originally eight members were accused of supporting Mr. Her- ridge, ‘peoples’ C.C.F." candidate in the June 1i federal election. ‘Mr. Herridge was elected and the official C.C.F. nominee Fran-l; Tra- cey. defeated. Mr. MacKenzie said the execu- ytive action was taken upon refusal of the constituents to accept an ‘executive ruling by which Mr, Her- .ridge, former C.C.F. member of the provincial legislature for Ross- land-Trail. was forbidden to resign his provincial seat and accept the {neidetral nomination for Kootenay es . 2 i I I iAgenda Most Important Factor By R. K. CARNEGIE Canadian Press Staff Writer QFIAWA. July 29 y- (OH-‘rhe most important question to be con- sidered at next week's Dominion- Provincial conference will be the agenda marlnng out how much ground the conference will be ex- pected to cover. Such problems as the division cf lthe taxation field betwcen the Do- .ml.nion and the Provinces and the jurisdiction in social services may be disclosed but nothing definite can be dccomplhhed llfltli commit- tees have had on opportunity to investigate and report, probably next winter. The Agenda will decide how far- rcaching these investigations will be and in this decision the pro- vinces will have as big a say as the Dominion. The idea is to seek unanimity on the agenda before launching the real business of the convention. It was indicated in last week's press conference with Justice Min- ister St. Laurent. who heads the cabinet committee working on the agenda, that the Govarunent hero would prefer to have the confer- ence stick to‘ the actual problems new confronting Canada, economic and social questions arising out of end of the war in Europe.

On the sixth day of the drama. tic trial of Marshal Petain, char- Bed with plotting against his country and having intelligence with Germany, four other persons testified against the former chief of the Vichy state, bringing the prosecution near the end of its case.

Netherlands Food Situation Improving By ROSS lHUNRO (Canadian Press Staff Writer) AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND, July 29—(CP)-—It will be a long time before the Dutch, among the heart- iest eaters in Europe, will have all the food they would like, but from a near - starvation level in the last stages of German occupation the rations are slowly improving. Thousands of tons of food sen‘. into west Holland by road, air and sea from the first week in May saved the big cities from disaster and continuing Allied aid has been of tremendous benefit. Dutch government officials are istration themselves and a highly commendable feature of their work is the way they attack black mar- kets in food. The food black mar- ket here ls not condoned. Dutch officials fight it and the people generally are co-operating. For the rest of the summer and they will get along reasonably well for food but they fear what will happen next winter. Ration Scale The present ration scale aims at providing about fo-ur ounces of fresh meat a week, or the same quantity of fish along with one pound of canned meat and vege- tables. This ration. however, can- not always be obtained ln full. Six pounds of potatoes, four ounces of cooking fai. about four ouncesof sugar, two ounces of salt. one bar of chocolate. nearly two loaves oi’ broad and two pounds of canned crackers are other items in the weekly ration.
