Could Have Missile Defence Ready In 1962

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S..Army says it could provide a significant defence against in- tercontinental ballistic missiles by 1962 by speeding up its develop- ment of an anti-missile missile.

Heavily - censored testimony by Maj. - Gen. John P. Daley, army director of special weapons, contained some of the most op- ‘timistic reports yet made public on -the army’s Nike-Zeus. This is a weawn being developed to in- tercept and destroy ICBMs as they travel at 18,000 miles an hour.

The testimony. given a week ago, was made public Tuesday by the House of Representatives armed service committee.

Daley said the army has simu- lated engagements of ICBMs and the Nike-Zeus and has recorded near misses “well within the ac- curacies required.”

Presumably these simulated contests were paper or computer engagements since Daley made it plain that there is as yet no working model of the Nike-Zeus, only a full-scale mockup at the Douglas Aircraft plant in Santa Monica, Calif.

_ LIEUTENANT - GOVERNOR DESIGNATE

OTTAWA (CP)——New provincial lieutenant - governors, both Con- servatives, were appointed Tues- day for Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island by Prime Mimster Diefenbaker.

They are: Frank L. Bastedo, 71-year-old lawyer, in Saskatch- ewan, and F. Walter Hyndman, 53, an insurance executive, in P.E.l. The Prairie appointment is effective next Monday, the Mari- time one March 31. A

In each case new lieutenant- governors take over from Liber- als. . Mr. Bastedo succeeds Lieuten-

ant»Governor William John Pat- terson, last Liberal premier of Saskatchewan before the CCF party came into power there in 1944. Mr. Patterson, 71, had held his latter post since July 4, 1951.

Mr. Hyndmaa moves in behind Lieutenant - Governor William Prowse, 69, who was a minister without portfolio in P.E.I.’s «pro- vincial Liberal government under the late premier Walter Jones in the 194015. ‘-

SECOND APPOINTMENT

Actually, a Conservative suc- cessor to Mr. Prowse, appointed lieutenant-governor Oct. 4, 1950, had been appointed late last year. But 76-year-old William J. P. MacMillan, one-time premier of the island province, died about a week after his appointment, be- fore he was able to take office. Mr. Prowse agreed to stay on un- til a new appointment could be made.

Mr. Bastedo is a partner in 0 Regina law firm and was presi- dent of the Regina Conservative Association between 1921 and 1924.

operating on the military and po- litical spheres to such an extent. observed Dr. Frank MacKinnon, Principal of Prince of Wales Col- lege, who is back home. after spending last week in Paris where he was one of three Canadians selected to attend a NATO confer- ence.

As an experiment in interna- tional co-operation, what is being done at NATO is certainly an en- couraging sign for the future Dr. MacKinnon emphasized.

Other Canadians who attended the conference were Dr. Edgar 'MacInnis, President of the Can- adian Institute of International Affairs, Toronto and Dr. R.A. Preston, professor of history at Royal Military College, Kingston. There were thiry-five represen- tatives in all from the 15 NATO countries. They were given brief- ings on military and political act- ivities of NATO and many dis- cussions developed between them and the NATO officials.

They were addressed by the Sn- preme Commanders of Navy, Army and Air Forces and by Paul-Henri Spaak, secretary-gen- eral of NATO.
