HUGE SEARCH UN DERWAY FOR MISSING M. C. A. PLANE

Death Toll In Series OF Tornadoes Reaches 222

Canada Building New Type Guided Missile A

For Defence

OTTAWA. March 23 - (CP)-- nr. 0. M. solnndt. Canada's top mzlitary scientist. says Canada is building a new type of "air-to-air" :Z'.llClCi.l mlssle as one aspect of secret defence preparations against mo possibility of new and un- nrlhofiox weapons being used 1-ilnllld a third world war break rlii. '

The chairman of Canada's De- vrnce Research Board told meeting of professional civil scr- l.llllS Saturday "there is a strong possibility" that not only atomic, mii biological and chemical wea- pons will be used in such a war :iiid that Canada is preparing to nicet sip.-ii an attack ”and, if ne- icssnry. retaliate."

Speaking before the annual con- wiiiioii of the Professional In- .-tiiuia of Public Service. Dr. Soinndt made these disclosures of Cfllli-1dil'5 hush-hush defence pre- pnratlons;

l. The "air-to-air" guided nils- sale which may be launched from a fighter aircraft to knock down mtiickiiig bombers is being de- xcloped for the R.C.A.F. at the Canadian armaiiicnt research and development establishment at Val- cnrticr near Qubec City.

2!. New types of respirators and protective clothing to guard soi- dirrs and civilians against atomic l'.'l(ll21l.l0l1 and chemical attack are being planned at the defence re- search chemical laboratories in Dttawn.

3. The naval research establish- 'll('lll.S at Halifax and Esquimalt. B.C., tire working on problems of iinti-subinnriiie warfare. New anti- t.-ink guns are under construction .-it the Vnlcai-tier armament cen- lit".

4. Problems associated with Are- in- warfare, including movement of military transport over barren unstcs and ways of protecting military forces against the Arc- iic's biting frost. are being work- ed out at the Churchill military laboratories on Hudson Bay.

Even the Chalk River atomic project, geared to peacetime re- search. is doing work of import- nnce to iiiilitary strength. said Dr Soliindt.

"it. has a direct responsibility for research and development on

radiation detection instruments for the armed forces and for civil defence."

But one big block in the effort to prepare for any eventuality is the lack of agreement on the stan- dardization -of weapons among

Alllee Faction Urges Speed-lip In Rearnnlnenl

NEWCASTLE ON TYNE. North- umberiand. England. March 23 - (OP)-Clement Attlee's moderates in the Labor Party demanded ac- celeration of Britain's rearmoment program tonight-a broadside aim- ed at both the Conservative Gov- ernment and left-wingers in the Labor fold.

Speeches by two top lieutenants of the former Labor Prime Min- ister here warned against any re- duction of the arms program-as demanded by the left.-wing rebel faction of Aneurln Bevan-and said Prime Minister Churchill's Conservative Government has par- ed the program to the danger point.

1-iugh Cvaltskell. former Chan- cellor of the Izcchequer. warned that if Britain slashes her de- fence spending further the United States might "turn isolationist again." which would bring Britain into "mortal peril."

Worst Vie-eli-End Of Tornadoes In Quarter-Century

LI'I'rLE ROCK. Ark., March 23 -(AP)- Six Southern States counted at least 222 dead and 1.100 injured in the worst -week-end of tornadic terror for a quarter-cen- tury.

But the digging for more bodies continued amid rising hope that the wave of death has subsided.

Sharply cooler weather broke sultry conditions which for two days spawned many of these small but savage storms oevr a wide area

However, dropping temperatures compounded suffering for home- less thousands-3.000 in Arkansas alone.

At some points the downpours which accompanied the vicious winds swelled streams dangerously.

Flood waters added slightly to the death toll and considerably to

the property damage which so far can be estimated only roughly at tens of millions of dollars.

Figures incomplete

The American Red Cross, which compiled the list of dead and in- lured, said its figures are incom- plete and probably will be higher.

Apparently the tornadoes and storms. which boiled out- of leaden skies Friday io' strike Arkansas. Mississippi. Tennessee. Alabama and Kentucky. were played out.

The Atlanta Weather Bureau said the last reported bloiv hit northwest Alabama Saturday and that no new tornadoes are in sight.

Other tornadoes, listed by Wea- ther Bureau as n poulbllity satur- cay night. evidently failed to ma- terialize.

At least 1.00? homes were de- stroyed and 1.348 damaged. Here again 1110- Red Cross emphasized the figures are incomplete. Live-

TRENTON. Ont.. March 2.? . (CF)--A ski-equipped Norseman aircraft with two men aboard was

located today on Lake Evans in ilie wilds of Northern Quebec where it was forced down six

days ago when it run out of fuel.

Russia Gains Ground Through Arts In India '

NEW DELHI. March 2'! iReul- crs)-Russia is quietly scoring in the cultural sector of the cold war in lndin.

The United States and other Western countries have been send- ing India millions of dollars in food and technical aid. The Com- munist countries. much less ex-

pensivrly. seem to be gaining through the arts. A major Soviet art exhibition

ended here last week after draw- ing thousands of interested in- diam.

A Russian cultural mission the prevlous week made a special hit in Bombay by starring a Russian singer who gave a concert of in- dlan songs in fluent Hindu and Ber-gall. Communist. Chinese good- will misslons also have been tour- in; the country.

The Russians are actively spreading their ideas to book- hungry Indians by distributing cheap editions of Communist lit- erature-often printed in English. Good. leather-bound editions of Marx. Lenin and Tolstoy sell for as little as 5 cents and Soviet scientific and political pamphlets go for a penny each.

Britain and the U. 5. now ap- pear to he realising the nature of the Russian challenge and ar- rangements have been made to allow Indian firms to reprint many popular or informative publica- tions without charge.

The 'i man: are profiling by tho fact that in a country where books. pictures and educational matter are desperately scarce. people are hungry for ideal at

Wounded Toronlo Defective Dies linexpecgiiy '

TORONTO. Mui-ch 23-(CP)- Edmund Tong, felled by bandiis' bullets March 6, died unexpected- ly in hospital early today while police held two men in connection with the shooting.

The death of the 48-year-old sergeant of detectives wrote a tragic anti-climax to a tale of blood and bullets in Canada's two largest cities. Still in his body was the .45 slug that severed his spine and pierced both lungs.

Facing murder charges are gun-

men Sieve Suchan and Leonard Jackson. the former critically wounded. Both were captured in

Montreal. Jackson in a wild hail of gunfire.

'1'ong's death marked him as the third police officer to be killed by gunmen in Toronto's history. Pol- ice said he died from "a massive blood clot."

Suchan and Jackson. alleged to he the two men in a car who opened up on Tong and another Iicieciive. are also believed mem- bers of a trio of bank robbers.

Edwin Boyd, allegedly the third man and brains of the group, was arrested here early last Saturday.

Police said the murder charges will be laid as soon as the swarthy Suclian. still in Montreal hospital with bullet. wounds. is brought back to Toronto. The 29-year-old Jackson was escorted here under heavy police guard Friday.

The death of Tang came as in shock to both doctors and police. Although on the brink of death since he and Detective Sergeant Roy Perry were shot as they stop- ped to question the two men. Tong had become stronger and was ex- pected to recover.

However, he took it sudden turn for the worse late Saturday.

Perry. shot in the wrist. is still in hospital but his injuries are not serious.
