OTTAWA. Feb. 14 -(GP) - Senutor Gordon Isnor called to- day for decentralization of Can-

ada's industry and said Nova Scotia won”; lace where the steel ind

be expanded to mcefthe growing needs of defence production.

He told the Senate during the Throne-Speech debate that the majority of defence contracts now were placed in Ontario and Que- bec. This probably was because these provinces had the majority of factories. However. the gov- ernment should establish new factories elsewhere. particularly in the Mai-ltimes where employment

was subject to great seasonal fluctuation.

Nova .scotla's steel facilities were in the centre of nn zirea

where necessary are: were avail- able on tidewatcr. There was a steel shortage in Canada and the

government should expanct steel production. Senator Isnor said that from

Dec. 1 last year until Jan. 13 this year, the Canadian ctzmnercial corporation had placed 532.948.- 755 worth of contracts.

Of this total. Quebec had ob-, tained 514,-1.87.392 and Ontario 315429.972. -leaving but 33.351391 for the rest of Canada. By per- centages, Quebec had not more than 4.1 per cent, Ontario more than 45 per cent.

Senator J. P. Mclntyre (L- Prince Edward Island) noted that in Montreal there was I large Iir- craft factory! manufacturing jet planes anti asked if other parts of the country had such facilities.

Senator Isnor said he did not doubt there was good reason why Ontario and Quebec got the mufority of the contracts but this lent weight to suggestions for decentralization. And Halifax had I good aircraft factory.

The senate also heard Senator T. V. Grant (L-Prince Edward Islandl. appointed in June. 1949. make his maiden speech. He said he was against any suggestion for In elective rather than on tip- poliited Sennic, suggested the system of civil service appoint- ments could hear looking into and expressed satisfaction that old- Ige pension coverage was to be- expanded.

On tho intornntionnl siiuiition. Senator Grant said he believes that "despite Communism and all other evils. the powers of light shall yet pro.-vIil over the powers of darkness.”

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13 -(AP)

- Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg. chief of the Air Force. believes Russia could push at least 70 out of 100 bombers through to United states tIrget.s in I determined It- took. Vandenberg said in I signed article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post that Rus- sia "has been working intensively on I heavy bomber to match the B-36" Superfort and "she un- questionnbly will build it."

Analyzing the Soviet striking power and United states air de- fences. Vandenberg said Russia "now has at least 450 planes that can strike our major population and industrial centres from bases in the U.S.S.R." (a reference to Russian copies of the B-29).

He expressed belief that no con- ceivable defence-not even such a preposterous device as a live- mile high steel fence Iround the country backed by an unbroken radar screen. A perfect warning system and an umbrella of fight- er planes-could fullv stop I de-

termined bom bins: attack.

Thinks Russian Bombers Could Reach U.S. Targets

"should wIr come." Vundenberg said. "we can be ex ctod to de- stroy no more than per cent of the planes making In attack in strength on the United states be- fore b ” , missions are com- pleted. And our preparations to- day are not beefed (built) up to achieve even that figure."

The U. 8. must realize. the four- star General said. that Russia might sacrifice bombers in one- wIy atomic Ittacks on American industriIl centres.

Va denberg said I large-scab raid probably would include only I few planes carrying the A- bomb.

"Even if the enemy had too (atomic) bombs-which she hasn't now-she could not afford to throw all into one raid." he nid.

As for the ability of the U. 5. to strike the enemy. said the "B-36 has more speed. range. armament and carries I. heavier bomb load than Iny big plane in operation todIy..or any plane the Moscow regime can get into mass production in the next: few years,”
