Opposition Le a d e r Pearson made this clear Tuesday night after Finance Minister Fleming spelled out the likely impact of the plan to replace the old tax rental arrangement next March When the Tuesday sitting ended the House and equalled the 1903 record of 155 sitting days. i ! cl Today it sets a historic new mark for sessional longevity and is bound to go on for some days yet--with further sittings in the fall. The 1903 record was set at a session marked by a heavy vol- ume of legislation, rather than any single dominant issue. When MPs quit that session 58 years ago, they complained that the government had introduced leg- turn to the tax jungles of the 1930s, a phrase also used by CCF Premier Douglas of Sas- katchewan after a three - day Dominion-provincial tax confer- ence last October. The new tax system will end the old rax - rental plan intro- duced by the Liberals and will require the provinces to levy their own personal and corpo- ration income taxes if they want revenues from those fields. In the personal income tax field, the federal government|. will reduce its levy by 16 per ent--increasing this to 20 per cent during the next five years --leaving the provinces free to Ottawa. In corporation income tax, the federal rate is to be reduced by nine percentage points, allowing hte provinces to levy a nine- per-cent tax on corporation pro- occupy the tax field vacated by| to levy more or less than these rates. ment's propo s als, especially those related to equalization payments to less-wealthy prov- inces, had 'not been accepted with enthusiasm by all prov- inces."

Coyne Calls Director 'Political Henchman' | By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) -- James E. Coyne has set off a political | firecracker in his fight with the |government, charging that the Bank of Canada's senior direc- tor is '""a political henchman' for Finance Minister Fleming.

ANSWER MEMBERS He dropped his bombshell during the middle of his second day of hearing before the com- mittee on the government bill to fire him. For most of the day he answered a rambling series of questions seeking to probe the extent of his policy differences with the govern- ment. The hearings vigil billed as Mr. Coyne's "day in| court" -- continue today amid| indications that the committee inquiry is nearing an end. Mr. Hill, in St. Catharines Tuesday night, declined to com- ment and said he has no plans to appear before the commit- tee as Mr. Coyne suggested. isl lien THUNDER WILL CONTINUE / |opinion . . . | | | | Mr. Mr. Coyne aimed the '"'hench-| "In my opinion and in the of the rest of the directors, we had better stay out of this thing," Mr. Hill said. "We have an oath of silence and we intend to respect it." Mr. Fleming, who has had his hands full with legislation in the Commons this week, has given no indication he will testify. The issue of Mr. Coyne's spe- cial pension arose again, briefly, in the committee Tues- day night when the Liberal ma- jority of Senators voted to make public a confidential letter thai Coyne has repeatedly re- ferred to. MENTIONED PENSIONS It was written April 7 to Mr, Fleming by J. T. Bryden of { Toronto, former bank director who resigned in April. In it Mr. Bryden related that he '"'men- tioned briefly" to the minister in August, 1959, that salaries and pensions in the bank were under study by the directors. It TMomaing had rontiagd he didn't know whether he would have to approve the pen- sion changes. Mr. Coyne has argued the let- ter showed Mr, Fleming must have known in advance of plans to increase his special pension. It was increased to $25,000 from $12,000 by the di- rectors on Feb. 15, 1960. Mr. Fleming has maintained he wasn't made aware of the | increase until this spring, and] that Mr. Coyne was derelict in his duties in not having sub-| mitted the increase for cabinet | approval at the time. | The letter said at one point: | "My notes show that when] you (Mr. Fleming) were in| Muskoka in August (1959), I| menitoned very briefly (as you know we tried not to talk bus- iness on a holiday) that the matter of both salaries and pen- sions was currently engaging our attention. "With regard to the latter, 1| have it noted that you said you did not know wheher you would | have to approve. "I said that my best informa- | tion was that changes in the pension fund provisions were | within the competence of the board in this matter was that this had been a ruling at an earlier stage both by a lawyer in the Privy Council office and vith nent of Justice) The letter also revealed that the board of directors in Feb- ruary, 1960, recommended a $10,000 salary increase for Mr. Coyne. He now makes $50,000 a year. The board had let the matter of salary "sit" after Mr. Flem- ing had said the time was "in| opportune" and that civil ser- | vice salaries were frozen.
