Whimster. Municipal Vote May Influence British Budget LONDON, March 14 (CP) Op ponents of the Labor government say the budget to be submitted April 6 by Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor of the exchequer, is sure to be cheerful because London County Council election will be Iheld the following day. They say Labor leaders would hardly announce bad news for taxpayers on the eve ef voting In Britain's largest city and ether local government areas. Election dates are determined by the county councils and fall between April 3 and 9. Budget news also will have a bearing on voting a month later.

The borough council elections will be held May 12 and district council balloting between May 9 and 14. All Scottish county and municipal elections will be held early in May. 20 Million Vote In these various elections, more than 20,000,000 Britons will be able to give their ballot box opinions on Labor and Conservative policies. Since the war, Labor has been shocked by some municipal elec tion results which have indicated both increased support for Con servative policies and Increased Conservative organization work In the field of local government. In the past the major parties have tended to look on county and municipal votes as matters of local concern.

Labor was the first to put national party sup port behind local candidates and just before the Second World War It had built up substantial power en the councils. But if the Conservative started late, they have worked efficiently in recent years. Government legislation In cen traiizlng social security and other powers has reduced seme or the responsibilities of local authorities. They, In consequence, have shown far more Interest than formerly in the composition of parliament. In England and Wales alone there will be 20,000 vacancies, a record number, to be filled this year in all councils.

Both parties hope the turn out of voters also will set a record. CALCUTTA (CP) India Is to have a Leprosy Research Institute, the director general of health serv nnninftront nf Mr McC.ll announced.

It Is estimated that more than 1,000 persons are coming monthly from Hungary into the U.S. and British zones of Austria. Apparently they live on the Austrian black market, for there no longer is any provision to take care of them In D.P. camps.

Anzacs, British Discuss Defence Pact in Pacific CANBERRA. March 14 (CP) Discussions are under way here between representative! of Britain, New Zealand and Australia for a Pacific defence pact similar to the north Atlantic Alliance and embracing British Commonwealth and other countries, John Dedman, Australian defence minister, an nounced today. Dedman said that Britain has taken an "active part" In the talks. The Earl of Listowel, British minister for colonial affairs, here for the defence talks, saw Prime Minister Chlfley today. He will confer with Dedman Tuesday.

The talks are reported to envisage "a strong defence system from Western Europe across the Atlantic through the Pacific to the Indian Ocean." Dedman said "there are many problems to iron out" in considering a Pacific Pact, including possl ble membership. He said Australia would like to see the membership spread out over the widest possible area. Won't Bar India Dedman added that some coun rles on the Asian side of the Pa cific would be invited to join. The possibility of the Dominion of In dia becoming a republic would not affect her possible membership.

Farmers, City Folk Fear New Flood Disaster VANCOUVER, March 14 (CP) i Whether floods will return to British Columbia this year Is the question uppermost in the minds of those who know what happens when a mighty river goes on the, rampage. Aftern an unusually hard winter throughout the province, farmer I and urbanite alike fear' a repetl tion of the 1948 disaster, when the, livers of southern B.C. pulled out all the stops and left thousands broke and homeless. There are really two parts to their question: Will there be a flood, and will the remodelled defences hold? Officials of the Dominion Water and Power Bureau cannot predict a flood. Their records ahow snow depths ranging from 110 to 215 per cent of normal.

Water content of the snow covering la above normal in the lower levels, and near or below normal in the mountainous headwater areas. The crucial factor however, they say, is the combination of spring conditions spread out over a two month period. That they cannot predict. Last year, as in 1894 the last big flood year there was a cold delayed spring. Then, early In May, hot weather came with a vengeance.

Take the Fraser as an example. Into it drain the North Thompson, South Thompson and Lillooet, as well as dozens of smaller tribu taries carrying the run off from thousands of square miles of mountain territory. Ordinarilv these seoarate rivers drain as the melt moves north ward. Each load is carried out to the sea separately. But last year, as In 1894, all bore down on the Fraser at once.

It was like someone filling a drinking glais with a fire hose. The same thing held good for the Okanagan, Columbia and Koo tenay systems, with the result that ordinarily adequate dikes were swamped. The same thing could happen again, the weather people say, but It is extremely unlikely. so tar laree portion of the low level snow has run off, reasonably warm, dry weather during March and April would take care of most of the remainder. Local flooding Is expected, but that happens almost every year.

But what II a large liooa aoes come 7 Last year's battered defences have been largely replaced or strengthened. A government pro gram costing almost $5,000,000 has been under way since mid summer and now is racing against time for completion. In the Fraser vaney municipal officials say they are in far better shape than last year, when some people dldn even know where the dikes were situated. The new ram. parts are higher, thicker and stronger.

In addition, communities are now experienced In organizing to fight the river. Engineers point out, however that if It does flood some new dikes will break More is a Special or economical "Spring Heating" 5050 SUNNYH1LL PEA ECONO PEA PRICE Per ton FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Phone 920 161 TOMDOInlT 11 F0R FUN and AND TLiKDAY LISTEN T0 Y'S MEN'S CLUB at CJOB 8 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. CJOB PROCEEDS IN HID OF CRMP STEPHENS, Y.M.C.A.
