eral Government into that picture and said they are designed to help bring it about.

The Commons co-oiperated by MODtlng the bills that provide the legislative basis for a change that will create departments of re- sources and development, mines and technical surveys, citizenship and immigration. The existing De- partments ol Mines and Resources and Reconstruction and Supply will vanish.

George Drew. Conservative loader, that division of tfhc pres- ent Mines Department into two departments can only lead to overlapping and inef- ficiency. He called for a state- ment of immigration policy and urgcd reorganization of facilit- ies for bringing people to Cam. ada.

"At the moment," he charged. "We have no clear policy."

Gordon Graydcn (PC-Peel) sug- gested appointment of an Albertan tn the Catbinet as a result of the change but argued that this could be don-e without adding to the present total of 2i ministers. But he failed to get a requested assur- ance frcm the Prime Minister that there will be no addition.

Mr. St. Laurent said he could not

other than a new deputy minister and. a. minister, however. the Prime Minister saw no need for any fur- ther increase in the government payroll. And the deputy might come from within civil service ranks.

Mr. St. Laurent said Canada's thousands of new post-war settlers have fitted into Canadian life with little trouble for anyone and said the additional newcomers will' help iii the development of natural re- sources for the benefit of all.

Seven Bills Pamod

The morning and afternoon sit- tings of the House saw seven hills passed. They included four affect- ing the new departments, one to amend the Veterans Land Act, one to authorize the ONE. to take over the Temiscouata. Railway for $400,000 and one to establish the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation to take up where War Assets Cor- poration left off in sale of Govern- ment Stir-pluses. ~ At House opening. lVIr. Si. Laur- ent told Donald Fleming (PC- Toronto Eglinton) no agenda has yet bccii drawn up for the J anil- ary Doniinion-Provincial conference on amendment of the constitution

Transport Minister Chevrier, in a statement: replying to a question by Howard Grcen (PC-Vancouver- Qliadra), said the governments of Canada and tho United States are not involved in the dispute over who should be allowed to operate on the Montreal-Now York air run.

In the debate on the new depart- ments, Mr. Drew argued that div- islon of the existing Department of Mines and Resources into two de- partments will lead to "duplication and inefficiency." It would only be a question of time until some com- mitteo or commission would say they should be put back together again.

W. Chester S. Mt-Lure (l.— Queens) argued that employees of the new departments should be hired by the Civil Service Com- mission ns permanent employees. There was too much hiring for political patronage reasons of civil servants with temporary status.

The House adopted the bill as well as another to provide salaries for the new miristers.

"If you pay one-fifth of your in- come for rent, and are earning $2,- 000 annually, it means that $400 of that will be going for shelter," she said in an interview. "And how much housing can you get these days for $33 a month?"

VANCOUVER. Dec. a - (OP)- Colder weather today ended Van- couver's floods. The cold choked of! the mountain run-off as heavy rains changed to snowfalls.

The change brought relief to the suburbs of North and West Van- couver whore wild-running mount- ain streams had churned debris- swollen courses through homes and grounds in almost a week of destruction.

Throughout Southern British Columbia the floods and torren- tial rains since last. week-end have taken a toll o! l0 lives and caused damage ranging into millions of dollars.

Water-soaked Homes

Today, as tho rain ceased, sav- age guests of wind lashed Burrard Inlet, sending ferry boats scurry- ing for shelter, while residents along the inlet returned to water- soaked homes, ruined lawns and mud-covered gardens.

For hundreds of workers, army and civilian volunteers, the battle ended at dawn. Giant search lights under which they worked throughout the night were dim- med. Weary dike workers returii- ed to their homes.

Behind them they left. the capilano River and the rain-swol- len Seymour Creek coursing back to their central beds. The Oapilana had dropped i0 feet. and the Sey- mour, still wave-capped, was near its normal course.

The improvement continued throughout the clay.

Ornamental gardens, the pride of the suburbariites, were ruined. In many homes, furn-

Times Force 0f Firsi A-Bomb

(By Frank Carey)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2—(AP)—A long-shot possibility exists that the United States had developed a "booster bomb" in the atomic field —one in which an orthodox bomb would touch off another explosive up to 1,000 times more powerful.

There is no official ground for this speculation, but, published theory about "super" bombs and the known capabilities of already developed A-bombs employing either uranium or plutonium, jus- tify this reasoning:

On paper, at least. the U, S. appear to have the means of us- ing one of the latter hombv-enor- mously powerful in themselves—to set of! a "hydrogen homb" dupli- cating a titanic process that goes on within the sun and other stars.

No Cause For Worry

But don't get alarmed about the atmosphere being set afire oven if such a hydrogen bomb were tie- vcloped. Physicists are agreed that there is no apparent danger of setting the atmosphere on fire from any large nuclear explosion. Such a "booster bomb"—with the older-type bomb providing the "bnost" for the hydrogen explosive -would he a combination of “fis- sion" and "fusion" in releasing atomic energy.

Fission means splitting the nu- cit-us, or core, of heavy atoms, like uranium or plutonium, to re lease such energy. Fusion means combining the nuclei of light- weight. atoms, like hydrogen atoms, fn produce a heavier one- also with the release cf energy.

Duplicate Sun, Shirl

In the sun and stars, with the aid of tremendous temperatures. hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium. Great energy-the energy.

kind that existsdn "heavy" water which ls available to scientists.

Up until the first atomic bombs were produced, there was no con- ceivable way of generating the temperatures that would be re- quit-rd to bring about the hydro- gen-liclium reaction that goes on in the stars.

But tho explosion of an A-bonib »even of the primitive type drop- ped on Hiroshima-generates n temperature of many millions of degrees. Such a temperature con- ceivably would be sufficient to touch off the hydrogen-helium transformation.

ER ATOMIC EXPLOSION,

OTTAWA, Dec. 2 — (C?) Senator G. P. Burchlll (L - New Brunswick) in the Senate today drew attention of the Goverrament to the “unhappy situation regard- ing the paralysis of the Maritime lumber industry."

He urged the Government to try

to do something about the fact that the United Kingdom has limited 1950 purchases of North American lumber to 100,000,000 board feet and that this will be spent entirely in British Colum- bia and the northwestern United States. The Maritime lumber industry was an ancient one, said Senator Burchill. Starting in i760, every wh-ite pine in New Brunswick was stripped from the country for His Majesty's Navy and taken to the United Kingdom for masts and spars.

Loss of Big Market

Since 1940, more than 200,000,000 board feet a year had been ship- ped to the United Kingdom. Now producers were told they could sell no more lumber because of the dollar situation.

They did not understand the dollar situation. he said, but they understood that if war came again. there would be a demand for New Brunswick pit-props and lumber and the dollar difficulties would disappear.

It was a "sad corrirnautary” on civilization if the world could produce the brains need-ed to ell- mlnate distant problems and pro- duce atomic bombs and yet not cope with this situation.

A Bitter Pill

Britain notw would get her pit- props from Russia and Scandina- vian countries. It was a "bitter pill" for the Maritime wcodsmen to swallow. -

The industry, so important to the Maritimes. amounted only to about $7,800,000 last year in pit- props and $11,000,000 in lumber. This now was to be lost.

He urged Senator Wlshart Rob- ertson, Senate Governimtqt lead- er, to asik the Government if some deal could not be negotiated whereby the Maritlmes would riot lose the market entirely.

Senator Robertson said the Government was aware of the situation and realized iu import- ance to the economy of the Mari- times. He would give a full state- ment at a later date. l

, By SPENCER MOOSA OHENGTU, China, Dec. 2 (AP) _ The Chinese Communists almost caught Chiang Kai-Shek, No. l on their "war criminals list," at Ohuncking.

It now can be told how close the Generalissimo came to capture. It was so close that his entire staff was jittery with fright.

Chiang had refused for several days to leave chunglcing despite the pleas of his staff. He insisted that panic would break out if ha left. Many officials never would get away.

And so he waited, whila the Communists marched over nearer to the city. ‘riiosday it became im- possible to delay longer.

The Generalissimo got into his car and set out for Peishiyi Air- field in the northwestern outskirts. Ths jam of refugees on the highway was so great he had to abandon his automobile. He got out and walked part way. A jeep came along and he borrowed it.

It was midnight when he reach- ed the field, where his Skymastsr plans waited.

The Generalissirrio did not got aboard. however. Ha went to air force headquarters and obtained the latest. battle reports.

The tension of his staff increas- ed. They remembered the far-off days or Stan, when Chung‘ was kidnapped. Then. angry C insse generals wanted him to fight the Japanese.

Now it would be worse. Communists wanted his life.

Reds Almost Capture Chiang At Chungking

Communists outside the city knew Ciang had not yet left Ohungking. They tried desperately to fight to positions vuherc their cannon could rake the airfield.

At. last Chlang boarded the Skymaster. But he insisted on waiting until daylight Wednesday morning before taking off.

His staff stewed all through the night. They had visions of Com- munist. troops streaming out of the shadows and seizing airfield, Generallssimo and all.

Then cams daybreak and tho plane took off. A few hours later Communist troops occupied Chung- king.

V.|..A. Amendment

OTTAWA, Dec. 2 — (CP) --< The Commons today approved at Government bill which Veterans Minister Gregg said urill allow “greater flexibility" in administra- tion of the Veterans Land Act.

He told the Commons the meas- ure will make a number o! changes in the legislation, ori- ginally approved in i942, undesl

which thousands of veterans haw been sctlled with lthe backing n. the federal treasury to the tune oi’. hundreds of thousands of do ai-s.

One of the changes would a low the administration to sell a vet- er-an's land in one locality and to

settle him in another if he was transferred there for business reasons. Another

would allow the administration to sell one parlzl of a properly and buy‘ up more desirable adjoining property.

Again. the settled veteran would‘ be allmved to scll trees, sand. gravel or other things and reiri-, vest the sale money in lmproveﬂ mlenlis. The changes would help round out properties. to improve them or to re-establish tho veteran elsewhere if a property proved unsatisfactory. l

‘There would be adequate safe-i guards to prevent speculation and to prevent exploitation of the public interest.

W. Chester S. McDui-a (PC- Queensbsuggestcd theirs is "dis- criminat on" against long-service veterans in that, if they have ex-l hausted their re-establlahirnent credits and wish to come undel- V.L.A., they must repay all their credits.

Mr. Gregg said there is the provision for cutting largo repay- ments. He could argue the merits of the case but his didn’! wish t at this time.
