The constitutional change allows general dues to $10 from $5, with half section farmers paying $15 and those farming more than one section land billed for $25. Life memberships will be raised to $200 from $100. Speaker after speaker rose, to hammer out the theme need for more money for the union to carry out the work it is now doing, and to expand its activities. Most of the speakers indicated they did not question the need for greater resources, especially in light of the $13.000 deficit the union incurred in the last year, but said perhaps it could be through increased membership. SORT OF ADVICE or two members said this wise exactly the sort of advice offered by agricultural experts to farmers-get extra land and become more efficient.

"We got the land a and became efficient, but costs are still siphoning off the cream," one speaker said. One delegate said. "This is the first shot in the arm the SFU has had for a long time. Whenever we have the rates we have lost membership. Our backs are up against the wall and if we don't put up some money to protect our.

selves, we are up against it. The time is ripe to hit and to hit hard." In a move that most interpret as one designed the first step toward setting asp a national farm organization, the farm union also gave its stamp of approval on a resolution calling for provincial farm unions across Canada to be integrated into one organiaztion. The SFU, in other constitutional changes, moved to strengthen and modernize its organization to make for better and simpler functioning of the union. At the same time as it called establishment of one national farm union, the SFU delegate body passed another resolution asking the SFU to withdraw its membership from the Saskatchewan Federation of Agriculture. Main speaker at the convention Thursday afternoon was Paul Babey, president of the Farmers' Union of Alberta.

Mr. Babey said if he reads the present signals correctly then agriculture is in for a bad time, because "every time the United States farmer gets a cough, the Canadian farmer gets pneumonia." Mr. said politically, the farmer is getting weaker and he suggested the time is appropriate for the farmer to take hold of his own agricultural destiny and apply the same tactics as industry does. "We have got to attach price tags to our commodities. We have got to make the decisions and the only way we can do it is through organization," he said.

Mr. Babey's theme was similar to that which has run throughout most of the major speeches at this convention. SFU president, Roy Atkinson, started it with his presidential address on opening day and it has been continued throughout the week, both by featured speakers and by those just bringing fraternal greetings to the union delegates.

27-6436. Saskatchewan 0 (Staff) Producers The Association Thursday voted to attempt to institute hog producers marketing plan amid cries of "railroad job and cartel" from some attending members. The controversial issue of a hog marketing plan, which was put to producers just three years ago in the province and defeated came up when association president Eric Salt of Lloydminster had a proposed plan read to the convention delegates. More than 70 persons signed the register, many of them paying their association dues when they entered, to attend the meeting and it was evident almost from the outset that there were two opposing camps in the association in regard to the marketing board plan. Considerable confusion arose during the meeting, following adoption of a resolution that would see the association press forward to try to establish a marketing plan, when another resolution was passed calling for the exclusion of anyone from association membership who had not sold hogs during the previous 12 months.

U.K., Canadian soldiers clash ISERLOHN, West Germany (Reuters) Nine Canadian soldiers were jailed here after a wild, free-swinging brawl Wednesday night between about 50 British and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby, Military authorities said Thursday that they expected several British soldiers to be charged for their part in the fighting, which left limp bodies littered about the street like a battlefield. "It was a real out-and-out said a West German policeman. "There were unconscious bodies all over the place. The soldiers mest have gone In Ottawa, an armed forces spokesman said the fight started when a British soldier hit a Canadian serviceman in a bar. Buddies of both men, most of them in civvies, joined in and the fight spilled into a square opposite Iserlohn City Hall.

The spokesman said that nine Canadians were in custody but 110 charges had been laid pending completion of the investigation. Hong Kong, Reds settle long hassle ST. ANDREW'S DAY AND ALL: Finance Minister Sharp wears Scottish thistle in lapel as he pauses outside the door to the House of Commons at Ottawa Thursday night before introducing budget in the House. (CP Wirephoto) NDP leaders criticize budget Saskatchewan NDP men Thursday night criticized Finance Minister Sharp for failing to set proper priorities in his budget. and for.

not basing tax increases on ability to pay. Party leader Woodrow Lloyd said that when Mr. Sharp went looking for new revenue, he saw lots of little people but missed entirely some large sources which should be contributing more. "I regret he was not guided by ability to pay a basis for the increased taxes." Mr. Lloyd said in referring to a five per taxes cent, a 10 surcharge per cent income, liquor and tobacco taxes.

A. E. Blakeney, deputy leader and party financial critic, said, "We all must bear our share of the tax burden but we have a right to expect that the burden be shared fairly. Mr. Sharp has denied us this right.

"The Thatcher meat axe was bad enough. It has now been 'sharpened' to cut and cut deep into the pocketbooks of the provincial government, farmers and wage earners." Premier Thatcher said he did not wish to comment until Friday morning. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Blakeney both said Canadians will be disappointed that Mr.

Sharp's budget has not increased taxes on insurance companies, finance companies and the extraction industries as recommended by the Carter commission on taxation. Mr. Blakeney said Mr. Sharp has further invaded the field of taxes on liquor and tobacco. which have been traditional fields for provincial taxation.

"This move can result in the provincial government being even more hard pressed, even more determined to cut essential spending on education and health programs," Mr. Blakeney stated. Both were critical of the announcement by Mr. Sharp that loan funds for, the National Housing Act and to the Farm Credit Corporation would be reduzed. "The cut in funds for the Farm Credit Corporation will mean the individual farmers will be forced to seek more commercial loans," Mr.

Lloyd said. "Such loans are easier to obtain by corporations investing farming and as a result the budget does nothing to prevent an increase in corporation farming and corporation-owned farms. Indeed, it likely encourages it." Mr. Blakeney said. "Why farm credit funds would be cut off at a time when tax refunds to corporaitons are being made even before they are due is unexplained.

is inexplainable." The cut in farm credit loans will also the financing of farm transfers from father to son and encourage the growth of corporation farms. Mr. Blakeney added. Mr. Lloyd said further deteroration of the housing situation, already grim for too many, certainly won't be prevented by the withdrawing of more money from public housing capital.

Mr. Blakeney said that in failing to increase taxes on insurance and finance companies, Mr. Sharp left millions of dollars untouched. "Instead the Liberals have chosen to get almost all their extra revenue from increases in personal income tax and taxes on liquor and Both officials pointed out that a five per cent surcharge on income tax is imposed if person's taxable income $5.000 but that the surcharge will be less than five per cent on a personal income of $50.000. the tax on tobacco taxes a high proportion of the income of an ordinary citizen and only a much lower proportion of the income of the wealthy Sharp Mr.

has Blakeney decided said. that Canadians must suffer and that the brunt of the suffering must be born by citizens with lower incomes." Mr. Blakeney said in labelling the budget one "preverse Mr. Lloyd said the budget has de been described by some as an "ounce of prevention" but one must ask. "prevention of what is expected result.

The budget will not prevent further increases in prices. which are already up per cent this year, he said. It will also fail to halt creases in unemployment do nothing to encourage passing of this resolution it meant the adoption of previous motions had been illegal because there were people attending the meeting and voting who were not hog producers in the sense of the resolution. A number of the delegates rose to say they felt they were being railroaded into backing a marketing board plan by people who had no interest in the hog business. One man.

in fact, rose to his feet and suggested there were those at meeting who wanted to high on the hog without getting the smell of it on their boots." He then proceded to use the word railroading and stomped out of the meeting, in spite of attempts by other members on his side to get him to remain. While the speakers took up some of time during the hour meeting, it was the proposed marketing board plan which took most of the time and raised most of the fuss. Mr. Salt took the microphone to tell delegates they were at liberty to ask any questions they wanted about the plan and he and the other directors would do their best to answer. Several hours later the questioning was cut off and the held on whether the delegates wanted to proceed with the various steps necessary to see if the marketing board could be instituted.

On a counted show of hands the motion, carried handily. However, before it was approved another motion, asking that a producer be defined as a man who sold $2.000 worth of pigs in a year and thus entitled to vote on whether such a plan should be put into effect, was moved. However, again after considerable discussion this motion was defeated. Those speaking in favor of it said they felt the inclusion of a farmer who sold just 12 pigs in a year as a commercial producer and thus eligible to vote not fair to those proon hogs their living. ducers wind depended primarily Mr.

Salt said while he could see their points, it was the decision of the directors in drawing up the plan that the figure should be 12 pigs in order that everyone raising pigs should have a say in whether a marketing board should be established or not. While it was not pointed out at the meeting, it is known that prior to any marketing plan being put into operation, public meetings must be held, a vote held among producers and the provincial marketing board must approve establishment of the plan. Another resolution that raised considerable furore was one stating the hog producers association should ask the help of other people and organizations in presenting the plan to Saskatchewan hog producers. The resolution specifically mentioned enlisting the help and support of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Saskatchewan Federation of Agriculture and the Saskatchewan Farmers' Union. Those opposing the resolution argued that since it was a hog producers plan then the hog producers.

should stand on their own feet, without any outside help. However, when this came to a vote, it too was approved. Finally, the hog producers elected four new directors to the board. These were Leo Kurtenbach Cudworth, Fred Rorke of Ridgedale, David Brown of Prince Albert and Ed Altrogge of St. Benedict.

Court says conviction a mistake CALGARY (CP) The "overenthusiastic" actions of an RCMP officer and a magistrate Wednesday were blamed for the erroneous one-year bail-skipping conviction of Ronald Harvey Keewatin of Lethbridge. The Alberta appeal court quashed the conviction after Crown counsel L. A. Justason told court that Keewatin should never have been charged, let alone sentenced. Court was told Keewatin had a charge pending against him in Lethbridge but was released on bail and went to Regina.

He voluntarily went to RCMP in Regina for his return to Alberta. On his return to Lethbridge, he was charged with skipping bail. Mr. Justice M. M.

Porter said that a mistake had been made in convicting Keewatin. Italians fight rats NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) Neapolitans slammed their shutters Wednesday to keep out hordes of rats pouring from drains and sewers. Inhabitants fought with sticks and stones to clear the rats away as they invaded whole areas of the city. One boy said he had to throw stones to clear a way through 50 rats in front of his house. The invasion, which started several days ago, grew as rainy weather continued, driving the rats from drains and sewers in search of food.

Earlier this week a mother had to draw away a rat which was biting the ear of her sleeping 18-month-old child.

Conference said only beginning higher economic, growth rate, Mr. Lloyd stated. "Indeed, the proposed decrease in money for public investment may prevent the growth rate from going up." Mr. Lloyd added, "There seems to be a suggestion in the budget that inflation can be controlled by decreaseing the amount of money that many Canadians in lower and middle income groups will have to spend, while ignoring entirely the big spenders in the private sector." If inflation is to be controlled, the private spending of large blocks of capital for developments that may be postponable and even unnecessary must be considered, he said. "Nor does Mr.

Sharp turn any attention to big areas of public spending, some of which we could do without. I refer to such items as the tens of millions of dollars spent annually to keep Canadian armed forces in Europe," the NDP leader said. He concluded. "I regret that Mr. Sharp did not move to do something about controlling living costs.

such as might have been achieved by establishing a prices review board. I regret he did not establish any Canadian agency so that the distribution of capital between private and public projects could be made according to the needs of the people. I regret that he was not guided by ability to pay as a basis for the increased taxes." HONG KONG (AP) Hong Kong and China today to have settled their fivemonth-old border dispute, but British sources were uncertain what the effect would be on the terror campaign within the crown colony. One ranking official said the violence now might lessen, but he emphasized that the internal and border problems were the most part separate issues." The Hong Kong government said it had agreed to compensate peasants in China for losses they suffered when the frontier was closed and other Chinese for damage done by British border troops to graves in the area. Chinese crossing into Hong Kong to farm their land were promised protection and permission to read the thoughts of Mao Tse-tung.

The colonial government dismissed a claim by Radio Peking that the British had met six demands for settling the dispute. The British said the Chinese merely dressed up some discussions we had on the On the local terrorist front, 49 persons have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded since May 11 in riots, labor strife, ambushes of police and troops a and bombings. TORONTO (CP) Premier Daniel Johnson Thursday hailed the Confederation of Tomorrow conference as "the beginning of a process which will eventually bring this country to revamp its He constitution told a press conference the four-day meeting of provincial premiers was designed as an exploratory conference and, as such, was "much more a success than I anticipated." Color TV comes to Britain LONDON (CP) Color television comes to Britain Saturday when the BBC's second network completes six months of test programming. The network, which carries programs of a somewhat more serious content than BBC-1, will devote 27 to 29 of its 30 hours a week to color -more than any other network this side of the Atlantic. Program planners promise they won't attempt to foist poor shows on the public just because they are in color.

Scheduled shows include A big-budget production of Thack eray's Vanity Fair, a taped Barbra Streisand special called Color Me Barbra that has already been shown in Canada and the United States, imported and home drama series, plays, thrillers, documentaries and movies. Demand for sets has been greater than the industry anticipated, considering that a standard 25 inch model costs between $780 and $850. Many families are skirting the formidable purchase price by renting sets for $4 to $6 a week but rental companies have long waiting lists. SYSTEM DIFFERENT An estimated 20,000 color sets will be available to pick up BBC-2's first offerings. British color telecasting will operate on a different system than that used in North America and parts of Europe.

Initially Britain favored the system chosen by the U.S. National Television System Committee in 1954, but both France and Germany came up with rival systems. German engineers produced PAL-Phased Alternation Line -based on the U.S. system but with improvements in color stability. A number of countries, including Britain, decided to adopt PAL, leaving France and the Soviet Union with the French SECAM system.

'The Soviet Union now is reported to have switched to its own system, an amalgam of all the others. All this creates technical difficulties in international hookups. Inventor dies at Wolseley WOLSELEY (Special) Funeral service for James Ernest Swift, 83, was held Tuesday in Tubman Funeral Chapel with Rev. T. W.

Ridewood officiating. Burial was in Indian Head Cemetery. Formerly of Indian Head and Regina, Mr. Swift was born in the Pheasant Forks district. At age 16 he was considered an expert on binders.

He invented the Swift Training Rifle and an army bomb sight, both of which were used in the Second World War. He later was involved with the Massey-Harris company. His last years were spent in the Wolseley Geriatric Centre. Mr. Swift is survived by a sister, Mrs.

R. H. Johnston of Regina. BRAVERY AWARD MONTREAL (CP) Constable Richard H. Bennett has received RCMP's highest award -the Commissioner's Commendation--a certificate for bravery.

The 20-year-old Mountie, born in Victoria, B.C., received the awaro for saving three persons drowning last June 10 after their motorboat capsized in the St. Lawrence River. "I feel that from the opening session to the closing today we have all travelled quite a distance," he said, later: "At least we have admitted that there is something wrong with our federalism." His final address to the conference was--as were almost all of his several speeches at the meeting--a plea for a new constitution which would "make French-speaking Canadians feel at home everywhere in Canada." He attacked attitudes held by separatists inside and outside Quebec, called Quebecers "profoundly Canadian," and chal-4 lenged all Canadians to add "another dimension" to Canada by means of a new constitution. TRIBUTES FLOW None of the Canadian soldiers was injured. In Iserlohn, a Canadian military spokesman refused to name the units of the nine Canadians in jail.

Accounts of what touched off the fighting differed according to the source, German police said. Police said they believed two Canadian soldiers had run from bar to bar challenging British troops and hauling them hall." into the street near the town "The thing then just said a Canadian Army spokesman. Another report, a police spokesman said, suggested that brawl began when a British soldier hit a Canadian over the head with a chair. By the time a German police patrol arrived, the battle had reached a high pitch and spilled into side streets. One of the two men in the German patrol was knocked down and seriously injured when he tried to arrest one of the brawlers, and his partner radioed for reinforcements, including Canadian and British military police.

Two civilians also were injured, one a 53-year-old bystander who was taken to the hospital with a concussion. Most of the troops were wearing civilian clothes, making it impossible to identify their units But some of the British soldiers were in the uniforms of the Royal Green Jackets stationed here. Johnson criticizes coverage TORONTO (CP) Premier Daniel Johnson of Quebec, for the second time at the Confederation of Tomorrow conference. criticized the press Wednesday for its coverage of the conference. Holding before delegates a copy of the Toronto Star's final edition, he pointed to the headline: "After clash with Johnson Robarts, withManning draws his demand for a brand new constitution." "I assume the translators are competent--I was told they are doing a wonderful job." he said.

"Now what language should I speak to be understood by some of the reporters? Or is it the rewriting at the desk?" "By the way." he added. "I never Mr. Johnson's defence of Quebec's case for constitutional change won him tribute as great Canadian" for men of as varying views as Premier Louis Robichard of New Brunswick and Attorney General Robert Bonner of British Columbia. The 52-year-old lawyer from Bagot, was showered with compliments around the conference table, but did not rally widespread support for the idea of writing a new constitution. And, as Quebec delegation left for home, some members privately expressed concern over the effect of Mr.

Johnson's statements here on his political position in Quebec province. Cultural Affairs Minister Jean Tremblay and Associate Education Minister Marcel Masse would not comment on the outcome of the meeting. At the close of the meeting Mr. Masse was overheard saying "Long live the Queen-" At the press. conference Mr.

Johnson said there is solidarity in the Quebec delegation on the outcome of the meeting despite rumors of a split between Mr. Masse and Mr. Tremblay and others in the delegation, Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Bertrand described the meeting as the best statement of Quebec's case ever put before English Canada. "We didn't expect to walk out of here with a constitution under our arm," he said "It's not a success in the sense of winning something. We have planted the Revenue Minister Raymond Johnston, the only Englishspeaking Canadian in the Union Nationale government, said the meeting "created a lot of good, feeling." "I think Dan's stock has gone up 100 per cent.

A lot of people I know who thought he was a radical are very impressed." In his closing speech Premier Johnson said Quebec agrees fully with other provinces on the need for greater intergovernmental consultation to co-ordipate possibly conflicting programs. Mr. Johnson said a new constitution including the "cultural dimension' would enable French- and English-speaking Canadians "to live together in harmony, in solidarity." He said a new constitution is "a challenge to youth." At the press conference he agreed with Premier Ernest Manning of Alberta, who had earlier told the conference that constitutions will not change attitudes of individuals. In his speech Mr. Johnson attacked attitudes of those he later identified as Quebec separatists, of those who do not want to recognize the rights of French-speaking Canadians in English provinces.

He said it is paradoxical that those who were scandalized by genocide by war are the same people "who with a brush of the hand reject without second thought the fate of more than 1.000,000 French-Canadians living outside Quebec." "This is an illogical attitude," Mr. Johnson said. Will have arsenal LONDON (AP) China will have a significant nuclear missile arsenal by the mid-1970s, Jane's All the World's Aircraft reported Wednesday. It predicted China almost certainly will have nuclear -tipped medium range ballistic missiles within year and an intercontinental a ballistic missile capability in the early 1970s. Thomas A.
