Is Suspended

OTTAWA, June 20 (AP).-
Prime Minister Lester B. Pear
sons Liberal government has
suspended a controversial tax
aimed at United States in
vestors and run into criticism
for announcing the move while
stock markets were still open.
Stock prices on Canadian ex-
changes spurted shortly be-
fore the markets closed yester-
day when Finance Minister
Walter Gordon, under pres
sure from the financial COM
munity, announced suspension
of a 80 per cent takeover tax
designed to discourage Ameri-
can investors from gaming

George Nowlan, Finance Min
lister in the former Conserva-
tive government, accused Mr..
Gordon Of stupid procedures"
in timing the announcement.
No Confidence Motion
Before the announcement
Mr.. Nowlan had introduced a
motion of no confidence in
the House of Commons attack
ing the budget Mr.. Go, don in
troduced last week, including
the takeover tax.
There was speculation that
the opposition would move to
force Mr.. Gordon'S resigna-
ton. He become Finance
Minister April % and was
elected to the House # Com
mons only last year.
Former Prime Minister John
Diefenbaker demanded a probe
of stock market operations to
determine whether any infor-
nation on the budget had
leaked before it was submitted
TO Parliament.
Mr.. Nowlan accused Mr..
Gordon of failing to respect
a constitutional principle of
budget secrecy by employing
three Toronto businessmen to
help draft the budget. Two of
them continued on the payroll
OF their investment houses
while on leave of absence.
Saw Final Budget
Mr.. Gordon admitted that
the three saw the budget in
its final form before it was
delivered to the House.
Budgetary announcements

after the stock markets close
to give all investors an equal
opportunity to make use of the
information on the following

budget, went into effect Friday.

MODEST PHILANTHROPST'
Stock Report Reveals Mott Gift
Of $l28 Million to Foundation

FLINT, Mich. (AP) .-Charles
Stewart Mott, who has shared
his automotive fortune with his
neighbors for decades, was able
to keep his latest gift, worth
1928 million, a secret for nearly
six weeks.
The 88-year-old philantropist
gave l,826.421 General Motors
shares, worth more than $40
apiece, to a non-profit organi-
cation he had set up in his
home town of Flint in 1885 with
the Flint Board of Education
as administrator.
This transfer of stock came to
light yesterday in an insiders"
report filed with the New York
Stock Exchange and the Sc
curities Exchange Commission.
Directors and large stock
holders of corporations whose
securities are traded on regis
tered exchanges are required
by law to furnish such informa-
ton.
Until May 10, Mr.. Mott was
the largest single stockholder
of General Motors Corp. No
body knows exactly how much
Mr.. Mott has given away in his
lifetime, but it runs into the
tens of millions of dollars.
The only inkling of the pur-
pose of the latest gift came in
a statement from Mr.. Mott
June 2 when he said his founda-
ton planned to broaden its
activities into more community
problem areas"
Mr.. Mott outlined five gen.
eral areas in which his gift will
be spent. Trustees of the foun-
dalton will allocate it by the
end Of July.
The community problem
areas mentioned include:

Nurse Program
Is Announced

Monticello State Hospital is
cooperating with the University
of Maryland in three-phase
program to double the univer-
sity's enrolment of licensed
practical nurses.
DR.. James A. McCallum,
superintendent, State Chronic
Disease Hospitals, said that by
September 1868 two full.time
instructors from the Univer-
sity's School of Nursing will
join the one currently assigned
to Monticello to aid in the pro-
gram.
DR.. Florence M. Gipe, dean
and Mrs. Dorothy Justice, MS,
R.N., Chairman, Practical MUIR
sing Curriculum, University of
Maryland, working with DR..
McCallum, estimate that over
100 nurses will be rotated
through Monticello during the
1963-1964 academic year. BY
1870, 300 nurses each year are
expected to receive Monticello
training.

months of this year-and there
are indications that it has-the
population should be just about
at the 100000 mark.
One factor in support of the
belief that the increase has con.
tinued to grow is the listing of
new home and apartment con-
struction for which permits
have been issued by the county
Department of Inspections and
Licenses. While private home
permits dropped to 1902 the
first six months of the year
from a total of 1880 a year ago,
apartment construction permits
scared to 2161 units in the first
half of this year from a total of
1928 a year ago.
Combining the two types,
1868 new dwelling units have
been authorized this year com.
pared to the total of 2758 for
the first six months of 1862.
Because the park and plan
ming agency complies its popu-
lation figures only once year,
it will be virtually impossible to
determine just when during this
year the figure reached-or will
reach-the 100000 figure.
