Brief From B OTTAWA (CP)--The British Columbia government said to- day a formula for maximum freight rate control set out in the government's proposed transport bill is an absurdity and should be removed for further study. It argued in = brief to the Commons transport committee, whieh is studying the bill, that the formula will force captive shippers to pay a higher share of fixed railway costs. The formula sets the rate for a basic 30,000-pound shipment at the railway's variable costs plus 150 per cent. This follows a recommendation made in the 1961 report of the MacPherson royal commission on transpor- tation. B.C.'s brief said this is too high, It implied that fixed costs were 150 per cent of variable | costs, Yet data available from .C. Opposes Transport Bill Proposals the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission showed average fixed costs on various commod- ity routes ranged between 24 and 35 per cent of variable costs. "We have pointed out the absurdity of the proposed max- imum rate control formula," the brief said. 'The only argu- ment anyone has advanced in its favor is that a mere handful of people will be affected and thus the absurdity will be mini- mized." B.C. suggested that a cost- oriented formula be worked out "reflecting the actual loading characteristics of a commodity on one hand and ensuring that any commodity movement pays only a just and reasonable pro- portion of the overhead costs of the railways on the other hand." Erhard Declines 'Show Trial' BONN (AP)--West Germany's Bundestag urged Chancellor Ludwig Erhard today to ask for a formal vote of confidence which he would almost cer- tainly lose. Erhard said in ad- vance he would not comply. The vote was 255 to 244 on a Socialist motion which Erhar® does not have to heed. The So- cialists were joined by the Free Democrats, until Oct. 27 Er- hard's allies in a coalition gov- ernment. The chancellor's Christian Democratic party voted against the motion Erhard had told the Bundes- tag that as a good Democrat and a protector of the constitu- tion he refused "'to take part in a show trial." The Bundestag can only re- place the chancellor if a major. ity 'can agree on a successor. So far it has been unable to do this. | Erhard repeated his previous statement that the search for a new cabinet and a new. majority in Parliament "will not fail be- cause of me personally." Erhard lost his majority Oct. \27 when the: Free Democrats, |who have 49 members in the Bundestag, quit his coalition government in opposition to tax raises he planned to balance the budget and finance arms pur- chases the government \ had |pledged to make from the }United States.

(Oshawa Times Photo) Vanier Rests After Surgery OTTAWA (CP) -- Governor- General Vanier was reported resting comfortably in hospital Monday night after an opera- tion earlier in the day for relief of an obstruction in the urinary system.

Pope | Orders LL Work On Bible VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican announced today Pope Paul has given orders for the Roman Catholic Church to work | with Protestants, Anglicans and Orthodox Catholics to produce a common Bible for all Chris- tians, The announcement said the Pope, in implementing a deci- sion of the Vatican ecumenical council, had entrusted the task to the Vatican Secretariat of Christian Unity. The various Catholic confer- ences of bishops around the world have been sent question- naires asking information on the "needs, possibilities and diffi- culties of each area with regard to Bible translation and distribu. tion," the announcement added. A common Bible for all the world's. Christians has long been a dream of .the ecumenical movement to bring the churches together.

In a_ statement, Mr. Bell praised Mr. Camp, national party president, for having the courage to "state publicly what a large number of Conserva- tives have been whispering for a long time." He denounced the view put forward by supporters of Con- servative Leader John Diefen- baker that delegates at the Ot- tawa meeting should stand up and be counted on the leader- ship issue, What this really means, he said, 'is that the person pro- pounding it wishes to coerce or pressure the delegates in the ex- ercise of his voting power." Mr. Bell, who said he was speaking only for himself, said: "The secret ballot was accepted by this nation on Sept. 17, 1878 and those who opposed it used the same argument--stand up and be counted--as is being pre- sented today."'
