--f To Better Seaway By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP)--Two seaway canal - improvement projects that would involve spending "hundreds of millions of dol- lars' are to be considered by the federal cabinet, Transport Minister Pickersgill announced Monday. AS a preparatory step, and to prevent land price speculation, Ottawa has expropriated nearly 4,000 acres of land east of Wel- land for a possible Welland canal bypass and another 275 acres beside the Beauharnois Canal near Montreal where ad- ditional locks may be built, Mr. Pickersgill declined to give a price for the land ex- propriation or estimate the cost of the two projects. Both pro- jects are now under study by the St. Lawrence Seaway Au- thority. ' The minister told a press con- ference that there is a "'reason- able probability" of approval. The plan at Welland calls for an 844-mile bypass to straighten out the canal and take it around the city of Welland. It now slices through the heart of Wel- land where five city bridges cause periodic slowdowns. WROSE BOTTLENECKS Mr. Pickersgill said this by-| pass, which would require be- tween five and seven years to complete, would eliminate one of the worse bottlenecks in the seaway system. The bypass would be consid- erably wider than the present channel and would eliminate low - level highway or railway crossings. Most of the land in- volved now is unoccupied. He recalled the government's decision of two years ago to launch a $200,000,000 construc- tion program for the twinning of all Welland locks. About $45,- 000,000 worth of contracts have already been awarded for this work, being done in winter months when the waterway is closed. Twinning of the locks will al- low shipping to flow in both) directions at the same time.) Coupled with the proposed by-| pass, it would reduce dramatic- Oil-Workers | VANCOUVER (CP)--The oil workers union late Monday night announced settlement of its dispute with six major oil companies and expressed hopes of reaching agreement with the seventh, British American Oil Company. Fred Geddes, president of Local 9-601 of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union (CLC), said a three-hour mem- bership meeting approved the signing of individual contracts with Imperial, Standard, Shell, Texaco, Home and Pacific Petroleums. He said the new contracts would serve as models for the industry across Canada.

The seaway authority's pro- jection of current traffic in- creases shows that Beauhar- nois, a two-lock system, will become the 'next major bottle- neck in the seaway unless remedial action is taken, Mr. Pickersgill said. WELLAND (CP)--News that a new 8%-mile Welland Canal channel was a "reasonable probability" drew only guarded comment from political and business leaders here Monday. Municipal officials said the proposal upsets plans, already approved by federal and pro- vincial governments, for an $11,000,000 tunnel under the ex- isting canal close to the centre of the city. Proposed route of the new channel slices through the city's park with an eight-year investment in recreational facilities and a swimming pool. About 250 homes lie within the 4,000 acres for which ex- propriation notices were given. ST. CATHARINES (CP)--W. |A.

(AP) But NDP y By STEWART MacLEOD OTTAWA (CP) -- The New Democratic Party decided Mon- day to support the minority Liberal government on "worth- while" legislation but said it would not back away from any early election. "We want to see the govern- ment given a chance to see what it can do," said party leader T. C. Douglas following the first post-el caucus. "We think this Parliament should. get down to business and it can only do this if it is given a chance to present a pro- gram." However, he added: 'The government needn't count on the fear..of an election as an indicator that members are go- ing to stand idly by." The "worthwile" legislation mentioned by Mr. Douglas in- cludes: An increase to $100 in monthly old - age pension pay- ments; the introduction of med- ical care insurance; more fed- eral aid to education; and the establishment of the proposed pr vegag development corpor- ation.

The increase, announced in the Supreme Soviet (parlia- ment), reversed a trend in the last two years of cutting de- fence expenditure. | Finance Minister Vasily Gar-| buzoy said the Soviet Union| planned to spend 13,400,000,000 rubles (about $14,100,000,000) on its armed forces in 1966--12.8 per cent of the national budget. In 1965, Russia cut defence spending by 500,000,000 rubles following a similar cut by the United States. | There was a steady reduction in military expenditure after 1963, when the armed forces ac- counted for 16,1 per cent of the! total budget. j which struck the BA refinery at Port Moody shen the OCAWU struck other BA oper- ations, will accept the same terms of settlement. The terms approved by the union membership were based on a government formula pre- sented to the companies and the union by Premier W.A.C. Bennett on the eve of @ sirike against all oil companies Nov.| 24. The government stepped in in the face of the threatened sim- ultaneous 48-hour work stop- page across the province, called for by the B.C, Feder- ation of Labor (CLC) and sup- ported by a majority of unions. The government formula on the ticklish job-security clause called for formation of a com- mittee to study automation. In the meantime, the companies | were to give six months notice | of automation changes, partici- pate in training or retraining employees and provide sever- ance pay for workers laid off.

Sandra, an 800-pound Ches- ter white sow, will not end up as a Side of bacon, Her daily bread is 20 pounds of cake and 10 pounds of garbage. Her owners, Fred Padula and Joseph Ruggiero, vow "she will die of old age and we'll bury her right here." Sandra spends most of her day snoozing. Sandra, now three years old, comes when her owners call her by name. But she's too heavy to chase after their truck although she used to as a piggling. Ruggiero says Sandra could reach 1,000 pounds and both partners are worried she might have a heart attack. Fifteen of the party's 21 members were in Ottawa for the caucus, described by the leader as a "working and ex- ploratory meeting." While the caucus discussed its general plans for the forth- coming session, no definite de- cisions will be made until the party holds another caucus in the week prior to the opening of Parliament Jan. 18. One member said that the party can be expected to mount an attack against the "contin- ental approach" of the govern- ment--that is, against moves toward more economic ties with the. United. States. The party's argument would be that any move toward economic un- ion would ultimately be fol- lowed by a political association. Mr. Douglas said earlier that former finance minister Walter Gordon, who resigned after the Nov. 8 general election, was "the only nationalist in a cab- inet of continentalists."

Con- servative Leader Diefenbaker has indicated that his party will move early to propose such motions. The caucus also said that the MP BEGRUDGES MEG, MUM PAY LONDON (CP) -- British |®° royalty outside the Queen and her immediate family aren't worth their keep to the British taxpayer, says Labor MP Bill Hamilton. Hamilton has been pressing his argument in a series of Commons questions -- today, Monday and last week--on the cost of Princess Mar- garet's visit to the United States last month. Hamilton, 48, objected in 1950 when the government of the day, also Labor, granted Princess Margaret an annual stipend of £6,000 ($18,000) a year. The sum has risen to £15,000 ($45,000). "What I want is for the in- stitution of the monarchy to become less expensive," he Says in an article published today in The Sun. "For a start, I do not think that Princess Margaret, the Duke of Gloucester (the Queen's cousin) or the Queen Mother are worth the money we pay them.
