Will Boost Farm lohn /Board Fund

OTTAWA (CP)—'-The Canadian farm loan boards fun.l for mort- gage loans, to farmers is to be boosted to $6,000,000 from $4,000,-

Finance Minister Fleming Wed- nesday gave the Commons_ notice of an amendment to that effect to legislation establirslning the board.

The board makes loans to farmers at interest of five per cent. The government can make loans to the board of up to 20 times its capi‘ lizatiou.

Loans mad during the 1956-57 year totalled nearly -14,000,000, second by first and second mort- gages. This‘ was up about $6,000,- 000_on the previous fiscal year.

‘Try Private Talks in Rail, Union Dispute

MONTREAL (CiP)—Union and railway negotiators will huddle privately with threefederal con- ciliators in a last-bid attempt to find a conciliation settlement of the big contract scrap between Canada’s railways and their 130.- 000 non-operating employees, it was learned Wednesday. ”

The odds are stacked hea.vily against averting a deadlock over union wage and welfare demands involving more than $100,000,000 a year for the railways.

Collapse of the public concilia- tion proceedings is seen by labor

‘observers who forecast another

serious railway-u-nion crisis close on the heels of the three-day strike of diesel firemen against the Canadian Pacific Railway earlier this month.

Bids Asked For Railroad And Power Plant

MONTREAL (ctr) —-‘ Quebec Cartier Mining Company an- nounced Wednesday that bids

railroad and a 60,000-horse-POW?!‘

hydroelectric plant in the iron ore area of northeastern-Quebec.

The railroad is to be built alongside an access road from Port Cartier, on the St. Law- rence near Shelter Bay, to Lac Jeannine. The hydroelectric plant is to be built on the Hart-Jaune River, a tributary of the Manicou- gan River in the St. Lawrence watershed.

The company’s main mining area is in this district, roughly 550 miles nor-.thea.st of Montreal. ..’l‘h-e com.-pany’s announcement, by President L. J. Severson, said the access road was started in 1957 and now has been com- pleted, along with construction of an airstrip. ‘ V , Mr. Severson said it is ex- igpected bids for other portions of the project will be sought later. These include a new deep-draft harbor and loading facilities at Port Cartier and preparation of an open-pit mine and concentra- tor. He said these installations eventually will require establish- ment of two towns with com- bined populations of about 5,000.

COULD LAUN-CH0

SATELLITE

TORONTO (CP)-Canada. has developed a new solid rocket fuel that could be used ‘to launch a satellite or could help counter an attack by intercontinental ballis- tic missiles, says a rocket devel- opment engineer.

Lionel A. Dickinson of the Ca- nadian Armament Research and Development Establishment at Valcartier, Que., indicated the fuel is superior to the liquid pro- pellant used iumissiles by the United States.

He told reporters Wednesday at the Chemical Institute of Can- ada’s annual conference the fuel

has been perfected by close co-

operation among Canadian scien- tists and those in the United States, Britain and other parts of the Commonwealth.

A paper to't'ne institute. pre- pared by Mr. Dickinson and RF. Wilkinson of CAR-DE, said ad- vances in potentially hostile countries in long-range ballistic missile development made it nec- essary to produce weapons cap- able of countering the ballistic‘ missile and capable of being mounted within minutes.

Moan RELIABLE iThis in t-urn led to the plan-

ning of ballistic mi.s-silos based on _ prepackaged liquid pJ'0l>9i-

lants for extreme range and 10

strenuous efforts to increase the size of propellant engines. Expe- rience had shown that solid pro- pellant engines were generally more reliable than the relatively more complex liquid propellant engines. — ‘

Mr. Dickinson told reporters that if a missile attack were made on North America there would only be a period of iive to 10 minutes in which to launch a counterattack after the intercon- tinental ballistic missiles had been detected. Fuelling the coun- ter-missiles with liquid propel- lant involved loss of valuable time. Use of solid fuel would make it possible to eliminate much of the time lag, he said.

Mr. Dickinson, 34 - year -- old graduate of Oxford University who came to Canada three years ago, said he did not know whether Russia has developed a solid fuel. But he added “anyone can get it if they’re prepared to spend money and work on the project." ‘

He declined to say whether the development of the fuel was part of a broader program to build missiles in Canada.

WARY REPLY

Questioned as to whether a satellite is being developed in

Canada. he would only say: "We

have the know-how.” But he hinted that Canada could launch a satellite.

With delivery of the paper on rocket fuels and papers on a‘ variety of other subjects in the.- field of chemistry, the thre.--day 41st annual conference of the in- stitute came to an end.

The 1959 conference of the in- stitute will be held in Halifax The date has not been set.

The outlook for the future is for a slower rate of economic ox pansions than‘ that which has de veloped during the post-war years, David I. W. Braide of Ca- nadian Industries Limited, Mont- real, said.

BALANCE SOON

In a paper consisting of. a short-range, economic forecast, he predicted Lhat a balance be- tween the downward Business trend of recent months and the previous upward trend was likely to develop this year.

Recent monetary policy in Can- ada had shown that manipulation of money markets could help to modify the effects of a recession such as that which had been tak- ing place. ’

In commenting on the ap- pointments after the, meeting Chief MacArthur stated that due to the high calibre of the ap- plicants it was a difficult task to make a selection.
