Shortage Of Labor VANCOUVER (CP) Labor shortages are developing in at' least five major industries In 1 British Columbia, a senior government employment officer said today. Mil ton A. Hambly, manager for the Unemployment Insurance Commission In New Westminster and the Lower Fraser Valley, said there were "definite indications ! of general shortages." He predicted ! serious shortages of skilled ! workers for construction, logging, mining and millwork and said he looked for "scarcities of farm labor of all types." Students Are I Hit by Draft SASKATOON (CP) Canadian students at United States universities are having a hard time keeping out of Uncle Sam's army. The physics department at the University of Saskatchewan has received letters from a number of Its graduates now in the United States. . One of them, Af McNamara, wrote that he abandoned his scholarship and went to Ontario to get out of the draft board's clutches. Information received by the physics department here indl- cates that Canadian students who are not married face the' possibility of induction into the' armed forces only if they are ln the United States under certain conditions. Married students are safe, because only single men are being taken at present. A Canadian on a student visa which does not allow him to earn money ln the United States is also safe from the draft. However, most students have to earn some money to help pay, their way while on a scholarship ! and that apparently is where the I rilffl..lt.. . r ii T 1 41 . . . iii uiucr mm a stuaeiib may work part time to support himself, American consulates will issue a permanent resident visa.

Auger appeared in city police court this morning on a charge of retaining a stolen bicycle and was remanded for eight days. be Difficult Shortages Coming up OTTAWA (CP) The Trade Department said yesterday that prospective Canadian home owners will have trouble building new houses ln 1951. Shortages are likely for such essential home-building items as copper tubing, steel pipe and fittings, hot water storage tanks and wire nails and spikes. The department outlined prospects for building materials in a white paper tabled in the House of Commons by George Mcllraith, Parliamentary assistant to Minister of Trade Howe. "Full realization of 1951 construction intentions is likely to be hampered by shortages of key building materials," said the report. "The average house will probably take longer to build and trie completion of other capital projects may be delayed." Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Moore ar-irlfed! here from Vancouver on the Prince Rupert today. Mr. Moore who is the bookkeeper during the fishing season for the Canadian Fishing Company on Porcher Island, arrived here with other cannery workmen, including Mr. Ross, the net foreman.

He explained that they had already stocked up with supplies at Prince Rupert the week before.

"I only heard one cry from the men," he added. "We called on the Violet P. which came alongside, but they couldn't do anything either," the skipper said. They watched the breakers, a wall of water and surf throw the men and boat upon the shore. Criticizes Gov't Playing to Communists TORONTO (CP) Solon Low, National Social Credit leader, said last night that the Liberal government's economic policies are playing right Into the hands of the Communists "It Is perfectly clear that the Liberal government's anti-Inflationary policy Is a failure," Low said. This was what the Communists wanted because they knew that Inflation would sap the strength of democratic economies and undermine them to a point where they could be "easy pickings" for Russia's military might.

W. E. Karris, minister of citizenship and immigration. The new act enlarges the provisions under which Canadian citizenship can be revoked, particularly ln cases where a naturalized citizen has returned to his country of origin or has been convicted of an offence Involving disloyalty. Speeches supporting the bill and condemning pro-communist activity were made by Liberals and Conservatives and members of the CCF. APPLEWHAITE Edward T. Applewhaite, Liberal, Skeena, spoke in somewhat different vein, stating that he felt any Liberal government must have been reluctant to admit the need for such an act as any Liberal member would be reluctant to admit the need for supporting it. However, communist activity had been such that it was necessary for Can-! ada to take steps to protect herself. Applewhaite stated the principle of the bill Is not new but its provisions are becoming broader all the time due to the activities of those commonly described as subversive but for which the Skeena member pre ferred the word "traitors." TODAY'S (Courtesy S. 1. Applewhaite outlined the value placed for years upon the status of "British subject," now replaced by "Canadian citizen," ana eXDressed the oninlnn that. , in most cases, naturalized citi zens placed as high a value on citizenship as natural-born citizens although he regretted it had not been the Canadian practice sufficiently to emphasize this value at the time of naturalization. While expressing sympathy with the need and Intent of the proposed legislation, Applewhaite warned against succumbing to mass fear which might result in a wave of witch hunts, He urged the minister and the government, to take every possible precaution against Liiio wuue expeaiuousiy ana i those who were definitely proved to be traitors." Admitting that the legislation provides for a hearing in every case before citizenship can be revoked, the Skeena member said he did not wish to see an orgy of such hearings based only on suspicion across the couu-1 try. He said that he believed and he thought Canada as a! whole believed that "it is better that some guilty persons should escape punishment than that one innocent person should suffer for a crime he had not committed." He closed with a plea that the government and Parliament should not make It too easy for anyone's citizenship to be taken from him and he (Continued on page 6) STOCKS Johnston Co.
