Transport department officials said a new 2,000-foot vertical separation which becomes effec- tive Jan. 1 for planes above 23,000 feet is a safety measure resulting from greater use of high altitudes by new, faster ¢ommercial and civilian planes.

The’ new regulations for the first time also specify vertical separations for planes not flying

of a 1,000foot vertical separa- tion. LESS ACCURATE

The 2,000-foot separation above 23.000 “‘is necessary because the altimeters in general use today, while sufficiently accurate at low altitudes and airspeeds, become less accurate at high altitudes and airspeeds,” the department

said.

“At 23,000 feet and above, they may be inaccurate to the extent that a 1,000 - foot separation is nullified.”

Officials said that some error in altimeters is noticeable at about 15,000 and this , increases with higher altitude and speed. As a precaution against collision due to this type of error, the 2,000-foot separation wags decided on

Planes crossing controlled air- ways and air routes will be re- quired to maintain a 1,000-foot separation from the airway if above 23,000 feet and 500 feet if at or below 23,000.

Drop Is Forecast

In Trade

WINNIPEG (CP) — Trade Min- ister Churchill Thurxiay forecast a reduction in Canada’s trade def- icit.

He also indicated that, although the deficit will be higher this year than last, he is not alarmed about the situation.

Mr. Churchill, speaking to the

Winnipeg Canadian Club, said|

that with business recovery in the United States and ‘Canada, and resumed expansion in Europe, “there, now are good prospects for further increases in interna- tional trade.”

He said the prospects are for “substantial increases in Can- ada’s exports and for further dl- versification of our foreign trade.”

EXPECTED GROWTH

“Our exports are\ expected to grow at g more rapid pace than our imports, so that our com- modity trade will be brought into closer balance.”

The statements were included in a text of the speech issued to the press.

D fi it

Mr. Churchill did not mention the amount of Canada’s trade deficit this year — $503,400,000 in the first nine months of the yea!

He said the deficit—the excess of imports d¢ver exports—will be higher thanNast year “‘but is not

likely to exceed the record of $342,000,000,000 of 1956."
