She stated she will likely leave later this week for B.C. to dis- cuss her plans with provincial welfare authorities before she decides to relocate her home for children in the west. When she first announced she was moving to the west, she also gave some indication that. she would start another branch of her Whytehaven Mission in Pennsylvania." "If we find the B.C. laws will not permit us to operate as we wish to, we will locate somewhere else, probably Pennsylvania," Mrs. Whyte said. "We have no iniention of ki any laws anywhere," pra As for the publicity he got out "Well, when didn't know at that time it was going to turn bad." He said he realized now that the way the show was .run amounted to cheating. Asked whether he. would have gone on had he known this at the time, Cugat said, "Not in a million years, no."

Trading Stam Review Made Justice Minister Says Provinces Responsible OTTAWA (CP)--Justice Minis- ter Fulton today promised to rec- ommend a Criminal Code amend- ment regarding trading 'stamps. It would plug any loopholes that may show up in the ban on trading stamps schemes which infringe on the federal govern- ment's currency' powers. However, he said in a state- ment that insofar as use of trad- ing stamps relate "only to the terms and conditions attached by a retailer to the sale of a particu- lar article or articles of merch- andise, there is nothing to bring such use within the criminal jur- isdiction #f the Dominion Parlia- sive jurisdiction over the laws re- lating to such matters as contract and sale of goods." Mr. Fulton said an intensive re- view has been made recently "in view of expressions of mounting concern over the economic ef- fects" 8! of the use of tamps, "Insofar, however, as such schemes are merely merchandis- ing devices, and relate exclus- ively to the terms and conditions upon which a customer buys and a merchant sells his goods, then their regulation comes a matter within the field ¥ tract or detailed Inti prohibition be- ment," In this respect, only provincial legislatures can control, regulate or. abolish trading stamps as such, "acting under their exclu- o! r trade, which is within the ex- clusive jurisdiction of the provin- cial legislature." Because of the limited field of Parliament's jurisdiction, Crime Inquiry MONTREAL (CP)--Maj.-Gen. George S- Hatton said today that the federal government should make public a secret report made less than a year ago on C a's civil defence. He also called for a royal com- mission investigation into the whole pt of civil def a matter, he said, on which mil- lions of Canadian lives are at stake. Gen. Hatton made the state- ments in an interview aboard the passenger liner Empress of Eng- land just before sailing for Brit. ain on retirement leave from his The interview--in which he was, sharply critical of the fedéral gov- Home Act.
