"Good Old Mally" Goofs It Election Talk In Air As Budget Is Blasted Opposition Opens Fire In Commons OTTAWA (CP) - Eleclion talk was in the* air Friday as the Commons Opposition parties opened fire on the new federal budget with two non-confidence motions against the government. Progressive Conservative .critic J. M. Mactlonnell termed it "an empty budget" paving thc way for big tax cuts just before an election next year. He presented a non-confidence motion saying the budget is "empty, relative and partisan," and shows ho concern about distressed areas in Canada or growing United Slates domination o f Canadian industry. CCF Leader Coldwell cven speculated on the election dale—June 17, 1957—and said Uie budget is designed to mark time until then. Next year's pre-election budget would be "very promisin**.'' His parly's want-of - confidence motion, amending the Conservative one, called for a lax on capital gains and elimination of the 20-j pcr-ccnt lax credit for income' from Canadian company dividends.'
