United Church Opposes Aid For Schools VANCOUVER, May 21 (CP) The British Columbia conference of the United Church in Canada has voted against government financial aid for parochial schools.

Resolutions adopted at the annual conference sessions Tuesday declared government aid to parochial schools would mean "inevitable discrimination against Protestants." The resolution, adopted by the 500 lay and clerical delegates to the conference, opposed a Roman Catholic bid for financial help for their separate schools from public funds. The B.C. Catholic Education Association, leading a campaign for Integration of their schools Into the public school system, maintains Roman Catholic schools should be free of property tax and should have assistance in education and building costs. The United Church conference endorsed the findings of a church and public education committee that "the integration proposals (of the Roman Catholics) make no real contribution to our education system, but threaten immediate harm and potential danger."

The child, Martha Louise, Was clubbed and strangled to death. Both McCullough and his wife, Lillian, 52, originally were charged with murder but the woman was later sent to a mental hospital when declared insane.

"At the time of the alleged offense, Mr, McCullough was suffering a form of insanity known as communicative or imposed insanity," Dr. Pincock said. When removed from the environment and the situation that produced it, he regained his' judgment. He said he felt that McCullough was "irresponsible for the act which he is alleged to have committed."

Ottawa Plans More Home Construction By British United Press New housing projects that will result in a building program home building boom from the Atlantic to the Pacific are being considered by government housing authorities in Ottawa.

A general outline of a number of proposals on housing wes delivered to the Commons' banking and commerce committee Tuesday by D. B. Mansur, president of the government's Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The ideas were received with enthusiasm by committee members but on Mansur's insist anre his outline was "off the record." Hughes Cleaver, committee chairman, instructed the press lhat Mansur could not be reported. The committee agreed with Mansur that negotiations between the government housing authority and other parties would be "injured" if current plans were made public prematurely.

It was no secret, however, that the tentative plans now being discussed by the corporation would involve provincial government and municipalities. SLUM CLEARANCE Under Section 35 of the National Housing Act the federal government loans 25 per cent of the money expenditure and the province the remainder. Mansur told the committee for the record that he believed Section 35 could be used for redevelopment or slum clearance. Committee members, after Mansur's submission, urged the government take new action to increase house-building without delay. They were prompted largely by the news that while housing starts jumped 1.9 per cent in April, they were down 10.4 per cent for the first quarter of the year.

Completions of new units in April were off 10.7 per cent and 26 per cent for the January-to-April period. Homes under construction across the country at the end of April totalled 25,873, a drop of almost 24 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year.

carpenters and Vancouver carpenters, and painters, drew an unprecedented statement from the Vancouver and District Building Trades Council A.F.L.- T.L.C.), representing 26 unions, that it would fight employers ail the way in the 1952 wage tussle. In Greater Victoria, an estimated 1,000 to 1.500 building tradesmen could be thrown out of work by a strike of carpenters. A recent conciliation board recommended payment of $2.10 to the carpenters, and Victoria Builders' Exchange has offered $1.90. TO ASK VOTK Carpenters have voted to take strike action "if necessary," and their negotiation committee will meet later this week to discuss future steps. It is expected they will apply to the Labor Relations Board in the near future for a government-supervised strike vote.

Next week they will place their case before the Victoria Building Trades Council. It is known unofficially, however, that several of the unions in the council approve of the carpenters' stand. Painters' Union, which has been negotiating for some time with six employers, will know Tuesday whether the contractors will accept or reject a conciliation board recommendation to pay $1.87 and $1.97 for brush and spray painting, respectively, and increased traveling and overtime allowances.
