The government has de- bility of a mass exodus of pro-| fessional employees from federal government service has added to the government's staff problems. The president of the Profes- sional Institute of the Public Service, 8. W. Sametz, said Wed- nesday professionals will start leaving their jobs by the hun- dreds within the next month if pay increases are not granted. He said this is not a group move, but an accumulation of in- dividual decisions arising from dissatisfaction with salaries fol- lowing the government's an- nouncement last month that it cannot afford general increases this year. He added: 'Certainly Christmas is the deadline." This move by professional em- ployees likely would affect par- ticularly scientists and top tech- nical staff involved in vital se- curity work in the department of national defence. Mr. Sametz said there is a con- ined to make the report pub: Ce. Adding pressure for govern- ment action have been large pro- test meetings by public servants across Canada, threatened work sloppages, and the action of the| Ontario government recently in giving its employees a general pay boost Mr. Sametz, asked whether the number of professional employ- ees considering leaving would be in the hundreds, said "I was thinking in terms of higher fig- ures than that." Vacancies already were occur- ring at a high rate. The institute was conducting a study and pre- liminary figures indicated 20 per cent of professional positions were vacant, This was in contrast with a turnover ratio of about five per cent in May, 1957, when the then Liberal administration granted general increases to all groups. | THUMBS TO his lips, Dr. Janos Peter, deputy foreign jons--met in a cordial atmos- phere for about 90 minutes Wed- nesday to explore the situation.

(AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court held Wednesday that General Motors failed to warn owners of 1953 buicks fitted with power brakes that the equipment was defective and "might fail without dotice." A modern automobile so equip- ped "is as dangerous as a load gun," wrote Justice George Ed- wards in the court's unanimous opinion. The court ruled in the case of Robert Comstock, a garage em- ployee in Detroit, who was struck and injured by a Buick Jan. 18, 1954. His right leg subsequently amputated.
