The anti-German demonstra- tions went on until 2 a.m. as youths hurled 4 smoke bomb and fireworks into the square outside the palace. Three were arrested. Thursday, 14 youths were ar- rested for causing disturbances during the wedding of Beatrix to Claus van Amsberg, now Prince Claus of The Nether- lands. : Before slipping abroad Thurs- day night to a still unrevealed honeymoon destination, the prin- cess and her husband recorded brief television addresses ex- pressing their understanding for the motives behind the wide- spread opposition to their mar- riage.

But Prince Claus, speaking in fluent Dutch, said he knew that during the last war "'much suf- fering and injustice was caused." The princess said: 'In the past many have been afflicted and have suffered irreparable losses, sacrifices in the fight for freedom and justice." Their appeal for the support and } ist of the Dutch people was 'aX dignified as their be- head-instsad for the West Indies. It was soon to judge whether opposition to the marriage will die out now that the wedding is an accomplished fact. Certainly the demonstrators resorting to violence Thursday --few of them old enough to re- member the horrors of Nazi oc- cupation--were not typical of general public attitude toward the wedding.

More And More Tourists | Use Ontario Roads-- Auld TORONTO (CP)--More and more tourists are travelling On- tario's roads, the legislature was told Thursday, but one member suggested a study to find out why more drivers don't get to their destinations. James Auld, tourism and in- formation minister, said the tourist industry made a major advance in 1965 and travel spending in Ontario from all sources gained six per cent from 1964.

Leon Balcer, the party's Que- bec leader, insisted the results of the poll--not made public-- did not accurately reflect the trend of the meeting. Mr. Balcer, who had pushed for the poll in the first place, subsequently quit the party and federal politics, claiming Mr. Diefenbaker's policies were alienating Quebec from the party. The executive meeting was the last concerted public gasp of Conservative dissidents "en bloc" to remove Mr. Diefen |baker.

It was a sweetness-and-light affair at which Mr. Diefenbaker got two standing ovations. Mr. Diefenbaker's leadership has been on the line before, so last year's row was not unusual in that respect. Rank - and - file dissatisfac- tion with leadership is more un- usual in the unity-conscious Lib- eral party. But there is some now. At the same time, there's no real evidence to indicate it During our. recent interview with Frank McCammond, the owner of Oshawa Discount House, a few questions were answered regarding his latest advertising promotion. Since the Ist of March Oshawa Discount House has refused to take the 3% sales tax from any shopper for any purchase. This practice, he informed us, will continue during the month of March, and possibly longer, depending on the extent of support he receives. Mr. McCammond recalls .a Government Official saying just prior to the inauguration of the 3% Sales Tax that, if enough people had complained to their local Member of Parliament, the Provincial 3% Sales Tax would never have. been put into force in the province, lowever, retail buyers have been paying 3% on most purchases for almost 5 years, Effective April Ist the consumer is facing another 2% cut in their paycheck, This means every 100.00 earned will only be worth 95.00 in purchas- ing power. In the tradition of passing as much savings on to their customers as possible, Oshawa Discount House is protesting this 2% incraese by allowing their customers to purchase Tax Free anything they choose at their store. Mr. McCammond again re-emphasized that this policy would definitely be in effect during the whole of March, and possibly longer. dollar corporation went into re-;many large loans connected| ceivership June 17 after failing to meet a $5,000,000 debt. James G. Haxton, vice-presi- dent of Montreal Trust Co., a firm appointed by the court as receiver fr Atlantic, said his company estimated minimum loss at $49,501,000. Montreal Trust estimated last August that loss would be about $42,000,000. Atlantic had listed assets of about $150,000,000 be- fore its collapse.

This accounted for the big difference in estimated recov- ery. | Mr, Haxton said his company met with C. Powell Morgan, president of Atlantic Accept- ance, and Barrie McFadden, treasurer, after the corpora- tion's. $5,00,000 cheque was not honored by the Toronto-Domin- ion Bank. He testified Mr. Morgan said Atlantic would need at least $25,000,000 to meet its prob- lems. "There was no apparent solu- tion to the problem of raising the money," he said. Atlantic then was put into receivership.

Allan Blakeney (CCF--Regina West) said in a motion the prov- ince should support repatriation but only after a travelling Sen- atecom mittee hears public views on methods of drasving up a new constitutional formula. The Saskatchewan house is one of nine currently sitting. The New Brunswick legislature is prorogued until March 22. Mr. Blakeney said the Fulton- Favreau formula for amending the constitution would split the nation into "10 little Canadas." It would weaken federal pow- ers and require provincial un- animity for such things as na- tional transportation and mar- keting policies, he said. No vote was taken on the mo- tion before debate was ad- journed by the Liberal govern- ment. Developments in other legisla- tures: Nova Scotia--J. H. Vaughan (PC--Halifax North) tried un- successfully to find out whether the provincial government be- lieves it owns offshore mineral rights off Sable Island, about 100 miles southeast of Halifax. The island is owned by the fed- eral government. Ontario--Donald C. MacDon- ald, New Democratic Party leader, criticized the govern-| ment for not providing a "'water| grid" similar to the hydro-elec- | tric power grid developed in the province 50 years ago.
