The finance ministers' meeting was to continue today exploring the subject of treasures to fight inflation.

Mr. Sharp said the meeting reinforced prospects of co-operation tn restraining public expenditures and limiting government borrowings the capital market He did not formally reply to the provincial remarks about medical care insurance. Like the other delegation leaders, Ontario Treasurer MacNaughton said his province would probably be forced to bring in a comprehensive medi-ca' care plan if Ottawa sticks by its July 1 starting date Ottawa would tax all Canadians for its 50-per-cent contribution to provincial plans, and as a matter of protection Ontario might have to set up a plan qual.fving for federal payments.

Mr. MacNaughton and other delegation heads de'ivered statements on the economy after hearing two federal statements during the morning. Ontario made public the text of its remarks, which urged Ottawa to act quickly to deter current inflation.

Under the federal medical care plan, due to start next July 1, Saskatchewan is scheduled to receive about 14 million dollars from the federal government. Premier Thatcher said he believed it would be the economic interests of the nation to postpone medicare. Our proposal would simply mean that instead of having to find 450 million dollars for medicare, the federal government would onlv have to find something like 20 million dollars for Saskatchewan THATCHER Continued on Page 2.

Column 4 Mr. Thatcher told reporters after the dosing meeting, We just cannot afford to lose both the equalizations grants and the proposed medicare payments, the premier said. The province now listed as one of the four wealthy provinces in Canada, is scheduled to lose about 30 million dollars in equalization payments it had previously received from the federal government Last spring, to ease the financial pain of the province, provision was made by the federal government Tor some transition payments to be made amounting to about 20 million dollars. The intention is to reduce these payments By STIRLING KING and Canadian Press OTTAWA In a surprise move, Premier Thatcher of Saskatchewan delivered Monday a stnngs-attached proposal for a years delay in the federal medicare plan, now due to start next July 1. Mr.

Thatcher said if Ottawas equalization grants to Saskatchewan due to drop by $10,000,000 next year are maintained at their current level he would favor postponing the medical scheme. Payments to his province would total $12.000 000 to $14 000,000 for the existing Saskatchewan medical plan. If they give us some dollars, it wouldn't matter greatly if medicare is postponed, Shipyard loses bomb immunity In another developfent, Premier Nguyen Van Loc reprieved thrge convicted Viet Cong terrorists who were to have been executed by a firing squad at a Saigon prison today.

Miss LaMarsh said. She had praise for the Seven Days program and for a Toronto-area show, Nightcap. She said she is not advocating the end of American shows on the CBC.

But Canadians should be developing their own programs. She was sure they would sell around the world and give viewers a reason to tune in to the CBC. David MacDonald (PC- Prince) kicked off the discussion when he questioned the amount of prime time devoted on CBC to American programs. There is nothing in the new broadcasting legislation change this, he said. The committee is studying the legislation and Miss LaMarsh is the first witness.

Miss LaMarsh said up to 80 per cent of the CBC budget is used for the shows it now produces pale imitation of American programming, we just ought to forget about it. Miss LaMarsh appeared before the committee as it continued clause-by-clause study of the new broadcasting bill. It meets again Tuesday.

OTTAWA (CP) Time is running out for the CBC to piove to Canadians that it is worth the millions of tax dollars spent on it. State Secretary Judv LaMarsh said Thursday. She told the Commons broadcasting committee she is really concerned about what will happen. perhaps within the next 10 or 12 yeats, with the arrival of satellite television when viewers in Canada can tune in to tyiy country they wish. Canad.

ans would not watch the CBC out of patriotic duty but must have a reason to a feeling of identity with the programming or because of entertainment. Nor would anyone else care to watch a cheap emulation of S. shows. Miss LaMarsh, who reports to Parliament on broadcasting, said she is hopeful the publicly-owned CBC will find a Canadian role that expresses us as a people." If the CBC is to become Moscow fires sliff protest over Ottawa embassy row Cyprus and Greece if the Cypriots did not pull out. Cyprus has been a source of discord between Greece and Turkey since civil war broke out on the island in 1963.

Most of the 600,000 Cypriots are of Greek ongin and their religious leader, Oithodox Archbishop Makarios, is the nations president. A minority are Turkish Moslems. The UN peace force on the island 40 miles south of Tuikey has helped keep down the bloodshed but the Greek and Turkish communities have made no appai ent progress to-waid a political settlement of their differences. Some 700 Canadians serve the UN peace force on Cyprus. Turkish-Cypriot leaders accused Greek-Cypriots of starting the fighting Wednesday.

The Greek-Cypriot government said it began when shots were fired at a police patrol. The 27 killed the two villages is the highest death toll since 1961, when heavy fighting led to intervention of Turkish air force jets. UN troops moved into the area Thursday to keep the peace.
