The first plenary session of the party's two-day policy con- vention overrode amendments by medical and other delegates in a lively debate which ex- tended into the evening. Doctors said that without the support of the medical profes- sion any medical care scheme would flounder and Liberal dele- gates stressed that the need of the people--not of the doctors and insurance companies--must come first. Dr. Patrick Bruce-Lockhart, president of the Ontario Medi- cal Association, said doctors would support a section of the plan which provides care for the needy, but added: "If it goes beyond the area of the needy, doctors in Ontario are going to object." THREATENS MASS MOVE Doctor Bruce - Lockhart said that if Ontario doctors were un- happy they could obtain better pay in the United States where they are "'short of a million doc- tors." "No, we're not going to strike like that," he "The Saskatchewan strike proved nothing. "Some 156 doctors left Saskat- chewan and these werea't tran- elents. That is the equivalent of 1,500 doctors leaving Ontario." As the debate intensified, Vernon Singer, Ontario Legisla- ture Member for Toronto York come here deliberately to scup- per us" leave.

Mr. Fulton, from Kamloops, B.C., was unopposed as he stood for chief of a party leaderless since Deane Finlayson resigned the roa in 1961. He will give up $27,000-a-year job as works minister next month. The 300 delegates to the party's annual convention, who had already adopted a stream- lined policy dubbed the "Fulton plan," heard their new leader in an emotional call for action. INTENDS TO WIN "I don't intend to fail," Mr. Fulton said amid cheers. '"'With you I intend to win. .. It's a turning point in my life. time for hesitancy is past."

If PSI and other services did not co-operate, "the commis- sion will be authorized to set up its own carrier," the paper said. Doctors sought to delete this clause, but their amendments were rejected after Senator David Croll, legislature mem- bers and other delegates said its selection could leave the government powerless to act. Dr. Bruce-Lockhart opposed any central agency such as the proposed Medical Care Insur- ance Commission because it would control costs. "We don't like the thought of being controlled," he said," not only because we are human beings and individuals, but be- cause we don't like being sing- led out for control."

(CP)-- Economic stagnation and hard- ship face this 110-mile-wide log- ging area as a wage dispute between 1,400 bushworkers and two pulpwood companies enters its 13th day. Merchants estimate the strike by the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union (CLC) has cost them from one-third to two- dithirds of their business com- pared with last year's volume. clerks. Others say they will eventually have to reduce staff unless business improves.

There were at least two areas --at Mobile, Ala., and Norfolk, Va. -- longshoremen refused to go along with their union's or- der to return to work. Both cases involved local disputes. Another holdout area fell in line when Texas longshoremen Budget Deficit Lower Than Last Year's OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment's budgetary deficit for the first nine months of the current fiscal year--to Dec. 31--was $10,800,000, compared with agreed to put aside a local con- tract issue over size of work gangs and return to the docks Sunday. They acceded several hours after Kennedy's assistant secre- tary of labor, James J. Reyn- olds, told a Galveston meeting of Texas longshoremen and ship- pers: "The president has tried to keep his hands off this thing as long as he could. Now he's pretty fed up." A few hours later, ILA Presi- dent William V. Bradley, who was in Texas trying to straighten out the _ situation there, gave the order for a com- plete return to work on the At- lantic and Gulf coasts. Bradley said local issues would be nego- tiated later. 'The union had held at the start of the strike, Dec, 23, that the walkout would continue until all local issues were settled. With the return to work, long- shoremen have a month - long backup of cargo to handle. Millions of dollars worth of emmodities were piled up on piers and in warehouses and railroad cars. $258,900,000 at the same. point last year, Findnce Minister Nowlan reported Friday night. U.S. SENATOR CLAIMS His monthly statement of gov- ernment revenues and expendi- tures said December operations resulted in a surplus of $4,500,- 000, compared with a $45,800, in the same month * ' December revesues from in- come and corporation taxes were down slightly from a year earlier but there were marked gains in collections from cus- toms duties, sales taxes and ex- cise taxes, In the spending column, de- fence costs were down but these were more than offset by in- creases in transport and health department spending and higher debt charges. Revenues in December were $571,000,000 and expenditures amounted to $566,500,000. In December, 1961, revenues amounted to $548,700,000 and expenditures were $502,900,000.

It has hopes that the decision will never have to be taken. That appeared to be the im- port of a long, carefully-worded statement made to the Com- mons Friday by Prime Minis- ter Diefeabaker. It came to- wards the end of a two-day de- bate on defence and foreign af- fairs. Mr, Diefenbaker disclosed that the government has been negotiating with the United States "quite forcibly' since at one point. Greater emphasis must be placed on conventional forces. And at another point: "We will do nothing to extend the nuclear family." He suggested that an improv- ing international climate and changing concepts in collective defence may dictate a change in the role which Canada had ac- a role which he frankly ad- mitted called for airborne nu- clear weapons.

"At the same time he made clear that unless an emergency arises in the meantime, any de- cision as to a nuclear policy will be held in abeyrnce until the NATO ministerial meeting scheduled for May 21-23 in Ot- tawa. MAY SCRAP EQUIPMENT Mr. Diefenbaker's statement posed the possibility that $700,- 000,000 worth of Canadian de- fence equipment designed as nuclear carriers will be scrapped. If to this figure were added the amount spent on the Arrow interceptor program before it was junked in favor of the Bo- marc missile four years ago, the total bill for scrapped Cana- dian military hardware would be some $1,100,000,000. "More nuclear arms will add nothing materially to our e- fence," the prime minister said in the debate, firmly reit his stand that Canada should accept nuclear weapons where these are necessary to honor its commitments. But he also reaffirmed his position that Can- ada should renegotiate these commitments. Mr. Diefenbaker said Canada would work out a course, in consultation with its allies, which he believed would meat "a vast alteration in all the defensive techniques that we have accepted in the last few years."" Thus both leaders appeared agreed on the need for a reap- praisal of Canada's place in the Western defence setup. They differed on whether Canadian forces should have nu- clear weapons while this reap- praisal is goingyon. Mr, Pear- son, who said will *'take time," maintains that they should.
