Charities Bill Amendments To Be Considered By Ontario Govt
Ontario debate on the charitable gifts bill continues as Attorney General Leslie Blackwell says two amendments will be considered. One would extend the three year disposal limit for shares in charitable businesses. the other would allow trustees to buy up 90 percent of shares they must dispose of, with court approval on price terms and sale conditions. Jolliffe of the CCF spoke long against the current time limit, arguing it may outlast an election. Blackwell called for fairness and noted possible extensions after a Joseph Atkinson asset transfer to a charitable foundation sparked similar considerations.

Secret defence strength kept from Parliament in Canada
Ottawa reports Defence Minister Claxton will keep exact armed forces strength secret, arguing such data would aid Russia. Progressive Conservative leader George Drew condemned the secrecy and urged Parliament to receive responsible information to consider defence improvements. Claxton insisted the force strength will not be public while he remains in office. He warned Russia remains the only probable aggressor, while noting a potential diversionary raid rather than a knockout strike could pressure Canada to boost static defence.
