Two Cents Added To Quebec Gasoline Tax QUEBEC (CP)--Premier Les- age has laid down a virtually ultimatum to the next federal government to turn over a minimum of 25 per cent of in- come and corporation taxes collected in Quebec to the prov- incial government. In hg budget speech Friday night heavily flavored with election species Mr. Lesage re- viewed the fiscal policies of the four federal parties--the "'three serious parties' and Social Credit--and indicated a prefer- ence for the Liberals' fiscal platform. The premier gave the next government--no matter which party forms it--one year to meet Quebec's demands on fed- eral-provincial fiscal problems.

Walter Scheel's mission is billed as financial but he made it plain to reporters that the controversy touched off by the Israeli claims is receiving ciose governmen' attention. Scheel is minister of economic co-opera- tion. In the latest Israeli statement, Labor Minister Ygal Allon said Thursday: '"'We have proof that Egypt is developing warheads for chemical, biological and ra- eiological warfare in addition to its development of ground-to- ground missiles." Fire Destroys Tourist Site At Casa Loma TORONTO (CP) -- The Queen's Playhouse, a tourist at- traction at Casa Loma.in cen- tral Toronto, was destroyed by fire today. The fire broke out as a dance was ending at the famous Toronto landmark. The dancers were evacuated and no in- juries were reported. Firemen confined the flames to the plashouse. Damage was estimated at $21,000 but Casa Loma operaticns manager Rob- ert Alexander said the cost of repairs will be much greater. Cause of the fire was not known. The playhouse was a repro- duction of a miniature house presented to Queen Elizabeth on her sixth birthday by the people of Wales. It stood 15 feet high and was equipped with electrical wiring and plumbing.

Mr. Lesage, who had pre- viously broken with recent traditions in the premiership by declaring himself in favor of the Liberals in the federal cam- paign, said there were many elements in the party's pro- gram "'which correspond on the whole to the demands of the government I direct, at least to its present demands." He said the federal party rec- ognizes the "principle of fiscal decentralization." The speech announced no changes in personal or corpor- tion fo h é ear it did announce an increase in gasoline taxes of two cents aly, gallon, which took effect at midnight. The gasoline tax now is 15 cénts a gallon in Quebec. Before the tax hike, gasoline prices in Mon'real 37 cents a gallon for regular and 42 cents for premium The premier also announced an increase, for the second year in a row, in the tax on diesel fuel which rises to 21 jcents a gallon from 18%. Last year it was increased by 5% jcems. |SEEK MORE TAXES Mr, Lesage--also Quebec's finance . minister -- said that within the coming year the fed- eral government must turn over 25 per cent of personal income taxes collected in Quebec, 25 per cent of personal income taxes collected in Quebec, 25 per cent of corporation taxes and all succession duties. These were "the minimum fiscal pow- ers Quebec is demanding for the moment," he emphasized. At present, Quebec coilects 16 per cent 'of personal taxes, 11 per cent of corporation taxes and 50 per cent of suecession duties, Mr. Lesage also called for abolishment of joint federal- provincial plans, something he has often done before, As Mr. Lesage spoke, Oppo- sition Leader Daniel Johnson exclaimed: "This is the final indecency, dragging federal politics into the legislative assembly." Over the verbal protests of the government members, Mr. Lesage replied that he was "speaking in the interests of the province." Mr. Lesage forecast that in the fiscal year just ue Will b an. compares with $112,801,000 last ear. He forecast capital expendi- tures of $163,775,000 and ordin- ary expenditures of $881,470,000. Revenue is expected to reach $890,245,000, resulting in a sur- plus in ordinary expenditures of $17,775,000. REACTION IS SCORNFUL | Reaction to the budget speech) was swift and scornful. | Immediate re action came from Senator Jacques Flynn, Progressive Conservative organ- izer for Quebec, who held a press conference in the legisla- ture Press Gallery while the premier was still speaking. Then Opposition Leader Dan- iel Johnson had his turn, taking the floor of the legislature when Mr. Lesage sat down. Real Caouette, deputy leader of the Social Credit party, took a swipe at the premier while ad- dressing a rally in the Mont- | Car-Truck Crash Morning Police Shift Abducted In Michigan OXFORD, Mich. (AP) -- The morning police force of this southeastern Michigan village was abducted early today, au- thorities said, but the woman radio operator and two patrol- men were left unharmed less than six hours later at a De- troit motel. The abductor was still at large and was reported armed, Detroit police said. The kidnapper was identified by one of the Oxford officers as Fred Hannah, 24, of Oxford. Au- thorities said he was armed with three pistols and was con- sidered dangerous. Found safe at the Eldorado Motel in Detroit were Mrs. Le- Lora Westfall, 42, the radio op- erator, and patrolmen Richard Lamphere, 21, and Delbert Hill, 22 Authorities said Hannah took the three to the motel at gun- D ' @ room, P three and left, but they untied themselves and called police. The Oakland county sheriff's department reported the three apparently were kidnapped shortly before 3 a.m. when the department lost radio contact with the Oxford patrolmen.

Police chief Elmer A. Bris- coe, who made the identifica- tion, said Miss McCaskie had 2 Men Killed In TRURO, N.S. (CP)--Two men died today in a car-truck crash that ended up with the truck ramming into a house, setting it abalze and forcing five per- sons to flee. The house was de- stroyed by fire. The truck ran into a bedroom occupied by one of the three children of Mr. and Mrs. John Moore, Moore carried her to safety as his wife and two other children escaped. Names of the dead were with- been decapitated. Briscoe said the victim's heart was on the floor two feet from the unlocked fromt door. Officers found a rolled blanket in the centre of the room, When they unrolled it, her severed feet fell out. A cedar chest in the bedroom yielded her nude body. Three kitchen knives were stuck in her torso, Beneath the body was her head wrapped in white undergarments and a lace table- cloth, In relating the details, Bris- coe said his officers "couldn't help: gagging at what they saw," real Forum. held by police.

Liberal Leader Pearson, buoyed by a cheering crowd of 16,000 in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens and another 3,000 in an joverflow hall nearby, declared jthat his hour has arrived to be- {come prime minister. In Montreal, some 300 rauc- ous university students created near-bediam at a 15,000-person rally for Real Caouette and the deputy Social Credit leader an- grily threw back at the demon- strators their "Hitler" cry. Meanwhile Prime Minister Diefenbaker, speaking at Brant- ford, was rejecting Liberal crit- icisms that his campaign has been anti-American. May it never be said, he told jan audience of 1,500, "that a prime minister of Canada, when he speaks out for Canada, is against any other nation." QUIET ELSEWHERE For the other party leaders, the last stages of campaigning were quieter. Social Credit Leader Thomp- son, speaking at Barrie, Ont., revised his earlier predictions of a minority Social Credit gov- ernment and said his party will win a majority in Monday's vote. New Democratic Leader Dou- glas engaged in a half-hour tele- vision debate in Vancouver with his Liberal rival in Burnaby- HOSPITAL 723-2211 Coquitlam constituency, Tom its} |Kent, and then attended a so- cial gathering in his riding. A legal ban on political broad- casting went into effect at mid- night Friday night. Today the party leaders--with Mr. Diefenbaker an exception --planned to do little or no speech-making. The Progressive Conservative leader had a busy day of whis- tle-stop travel in southern On- fario, with speeches at Goder- ich and Sarnia, before flying to his home riding of Prince Al- bert, Sask Mr. Pearson returned to Ot- tawa and Mr. Thompson to Red Deer, Alta., where they will be on election day. The Liberai leader had no campaigning scheduled today and the Social Credit leader planned to show some personal movies at Rocky Mountain House, Alta., tonight. Mr. Douglas planned a tour of a number of small gatherings in his constituency. GETS OVATION In the packed Maple Leaf Gardens, Mr. Pearson gota Standing ovation as he repeated his major campaign issue--that Canada's major need is for a stable majority government "No,"* shouted the crowd when he asked whether any party but the Liberals can meet this need. Mr. Pearson said it was the largest political rally in Cana- dian history. Even Massey Hall 12 blocks away, where 3,000 heard his speech on louds»eak- ers, wasn't enough to handle all those who turned out. "It is not the Academy Award you are deciding on Monday," Mr. Pearson said. "'It is not the recognition of a dramatic per- formance or striking showman- ship. "It is the future of our coun- try that is being determined, in the most important election in our history." The noisy demonstrations by students at Mr. Caouette's Mon- treal rally were broken up in brawls as students were ejected or dispersed, At least two per- sons were taken to hospital with cuts and bruises. But before they were squelched, the students threw stink bombs and phoney dollar bills, sang Christmas carols, and chanted in unison: 'Heil Hitler, heil Caouette," Mr, Caouette said he was '"'fu- rious" at what he called an at- tempt to break up his meeting. "These are the people who call us Hitlers and Mussolinis and they won't even give us a chance to be heard." Backed by British Columbia's Premier Bennett, Mr. Caouette called for Social Credit. victor- ies in a majority of Montreal Island's 21 ridings, where the party's candidates all lost in last year's election. EXPECTS PC WIN Mr, Diefenbaker told_ his Brantford meeting he confi- dently expects a Conservative victory on Monday, and at- tacked the Liberals for what he called a gimmick-ridden cam- most powerful people in Canada think too much has been con- tributed in social security." But his government had acted to provide reasonable assist- ance to the old, the young, the veterans and the disabled. The Conservative government is building Canada, he said, and suggested that unparailelled prosperity lies ahead. Mr. Thompson at Barrie promised to face Canada's problems squarely if he be- comes prime minister, making "no deals we are ashamed ts reveal to the Canadian citizens." He said his Social Credit party has been attacked as irre- sponsible "fringe people" by the two major parties. "All they are trying to do is to cover up their own inabilities and inadequacies." FEATURES. DISPUTE The half-hour TV debate be- tween NDP leader Douglas and Mr. Kent--one of Mr. Pearson's economic advisersfeatured a dispute over a Winnipeg Free Press editorial written in 1959 when Mr. Kent was the newspa- per's editor. Mr. Douglas said the editorial supported the action of New- foundland Premier Smallwood in decertifying the International Woodworkers of America during a violence - ridden logger's strike. He said the editorial re- ferred to "'illegal violence" by the union as typifying trends within trade unionism across Canada. paign to make the people torget the opposition's policy of ob-| Struction in the last Parliament.

Miss McCaskie had been mar- ried to a Jeff Schmidt and later divorced, Briscoe said. Officers did not know Schmidt's where- abouts, and had no leads as to a motive or suspects. The dead girl competed in the Alpine events of the 1960 win- ter Olympics at Squaw Valley, Calif., about 40 miles west of Reno. Miss McCaskie was born in Scotland in 1939. She was graduated from a California high school near Squaw. Valley about six years ago, and taught skiing at Reno this past win- ter. French Labor Strife Eases PARIS (Reuters) -- Most of France's northern coal mines were fully manned today and the country's labor troubles eased as settlement was reached with: striking gas and electricity workers. In the coal fields in the north, where holdout miners defied union orders to return to work after a 34-day strike, mine officials said a few men stayed away but were expected back Monday, Settlement of the gas and electricity dispute will give workers in the two nationalized industries a 4,5-per-cent wage increase from April 1, and a further 2.85-per-cent raise- Jan, 1, 1964. A further review of wages will be held in a month. The agreement was the fourth the government reached with workers in nationalized indus- tries within the last few days. The first was with the 240,000 miners whose strike triggered labor unrest across the country, followed by settlements with 350,000 railroad men and work- ers at the key natural gas pro- duction plant in Lacq in south- west France. Wage disputes continued in the post office, civil service and the Paris transport system, and university professors and re- search workers have threatened a strike within the next three weeks unless their pay claims are met, A 24-hour strike in the gov- ernment - owned television and radio networks reduced pro- grams Friday to recorded news Premier Smallwood's action. and music.

Laos Official Dies From Gunshot Wound Maj. Kham Meung, described' as the right-hand man of neu- tralist Gen, Kong Le, has died in hospital here after being shot Tuesday, a high neutralist offi- cer reported today. Diplomatic sources said skir- mishing on the Plain of Jars ap- parently was continuing between Gen. Kong's neutral- ists on one side, and dissident neutralists and pro-Communist' Pathet Lao troops on the other. Clashes announced earlier by neutralist Premier Souvanna Phouma already have taken 20 lives and stirred anxiety over the possibility of a full - scale outbreak of fighting in this Southeast Asian kingdom, long plagued by civil war.
