Will Aisiffe Used To Test Guided ijlssiles

OTTAWA. April 19 - (OP) - A vasi, new aerial bombing range. to be cetabished across Canada's hin- terland, will eventually become a testing ground for guided-missile weapons of war.

This was learned today as De- fence Minister Claxton announced completion of arrangements with Alberta and Saskatchewan for ca- tablishment of the big l't.C.A.F. development in their northern areas. It will cover thousands of square miles of territory and sost an estimated 314,000,000.

Huge Area Needed

The Air Force said the huge area was needed for training with mod- crn jet planes with their long-range rocket and cannon armament. It indicated the new range will fit into Canada's scheme of things as the principal ilschool" for airmen of her North Atlantic allies.

But a spokesman in close touch with Canada's scientific research said it was probably guided missiles would be tested there within the next few years, ”pehaps sooner." He indicated this was in the long- i'ange defence plan.

Canada is beginning in experi- ments in guided missiles, long stud- ied in the United States and by Britain at the big Woomera range in Australia. she recently assemb- led a scientific guided-missiles staff at Valcartier. Que., which is still in the laboratory stage.

Short Range Rockets

Eventually the Valcartier re- search, being carried on in co-oper- ation with Britain and the U. S.

will produce weapons which will have to be tested. They will be of the shorter range type, rather than ions-range rockets said to be the aim of research in Australia.

Thus. the spokesman said, the "SW ll0I'thEl'n Prairie range with its possibilities of almost indefinite ex- pansion in a northward direction would be ideal for carrying the Vaicartier research into the test- ting stage. g

The new range will be roughly 100 miles northeast of Edmonton and centred on Primrose Lake. It will stretch 115 mice from east to west and 40 miles from north to South. '

No Prosecutions In

HALIFAX. April 19 -(GP) - An R. C. A. F. Mustang fighter with one man aboard disappeared in the wild New Brunswick-Maine border country late this afternoon and three accompanying planes, running low on fuel, gave up the search and continued to their 01- tawa (Uplands) destination, Search and Rescue. headquarters reported here. They put out a general distress call. dcscrlblng the plane as silver with red wing tips, and asked farmers and woodsmen in the area to telephone any infor- mation to the Halifax headquart- ers.

Meanwhile three search and res- cue planes from the Greenwood N. 3. base left for the scene and started a systematic search. The four Mustangs were travelling in formation from the big fighter base at Chatham. N. B. and had gone about 160 miles when the missing plane disappeared.

Pilot From Vancouver

The pilot was Flt. Lt. Robert Edward Kent, 28, of (1315 East 34th Ave.) Vancouver. He was un- married.

Formcrly stationed at ihe air training centre at Rivers. Man.. and at tactical group headquart- ers in Winnipeg, the Macklin. Sack,-born pilot was from no. 416

Pilots of the other planes said the missing Mustang dived to the left and went out of sight 15 miles northwest of Fort Kent, Me. which is near Edmundston in Northwestern New Brunswick.

The accompanying planes re- main:-d in the area to carry out a Search but they had to push on be- cause their own fuel supplies were running low. The missing planes supply of fuel would have exhaust- ed by 4.30 p..m. A.S.T.

The Search and Rescue squad- ron from Greenwood abandoned the hunt early tonight when bad weather set. in. The planes landed on the Prcsque Islc. Me.. base from where they will launch a renewed search early tomorrow morning or as soon as the weather lifis.

Gen.. MacArthuris Speech Astoqnds Washington

I! Paul Scott Rankine

WADHINOTON. April 10 lndlltca)-Gen. MacArthur as- tounded Washington today with his statement that his controvers- ial viaws for the conduct of His war against the Communist Chin- ass have been fully shared by the United stats joint chiefs of staff.

The statement if a cheering congress was boun further onibittar the raging oontrov over his dismissal by Prssidon 'human.Jt appears to be at var- iauoa with statements by Tntman on the events leading to his dis-

animal.

The chairman of the United ltatss int chiefs of staff. Ooh. Omar disy, earlier this week

made a point-by-point refutation from the military point of view of the arguments which MICAl'l.lIllI' a ut forward iod .

MacArthur has demanded a nav- al blockade of the Chinese main- land, serial reconnaissance over Communist China and the use of Chinese Nationalist forces in For- mosa agalnst the Chinese com- munists on the mainland.

His charges against the govern- ment's policies of "blind appease- ment." of "prolonged indecision," and of "defoatiln" were unproc- edepted for a man who. despite ills disiniual from the supreme

command in Far ,hst, still holds the big est salutary rank in the U. 3. Army.

For months to come they .'are likely to provide inflammatory cainpaignrslosaos-for those who are dsinandln that the President be removed roin om.-o through hipeachmtnt and trial and for op- position caliidalas in tho presid-

and then surrendered April 11 in Arbroath Abbey.

Polce since have brought the stone back to Westminster Abbey, where it is under heavy guard.

Two of Hamilton's bollcagues, Gavin Vernon. 24. of Kinioch Ran- noch, Perthshire, and Alan Stuart, 20, of Barrhead. were with him when he gave the statement.

Hamilton identified the fourth

t of the party as Miss Kay Matheson and said she now is in Ross-shire. '

Hamiton said the stone was re- moved because nritainls Labor Government has not given scot- land a measure of self-government. He expressed belief that the sto eventually would come back rt: Scotland, saying:

. "We don't consider the matter closed until the stone is back in Scotland . . .

"I am still hopeful that the Church of Scotland will speak for the people and we that the stone is returned to the custody of the church."

Attorney-General sir Hartley lhaworou told the House of Conn mom in London today that the Scottish patriots had admitted im- plication in the theft of the stone.

But Shaworoas said he doesn't

believe "tha public interest re- quires" hlm to prosecute. i l

A Scottish Conservative member of Parliament, Henderson Stuart, asked Shawcross whether the gov- ernment intends to keep the stone in the Abbey.

Quebec Senator Resigns To Accept J udgeship

i gglannounced appointment of An-

itonio Garneau, Montreal lawyer. also as a judge of the Quebec Superior Court at Montreal.

, Mr. Ferland's letter of resigna- tion slated no reasons. Resigna- tions trorn the Senate. where-the members are appointed for life. are rare. I

The British North America Act provides that when a senator wishes to vacate his seat he does so by writing the Governor-Gem eral and is not required to state any reasons.

Mr. Ferland was first elected lo the House of Commons in 1928. He was re-elected in 1930, 1935 and 1040. He is a prominent lawyer.

The last resignation from the Senate was that of H. A. Mullins of Marquette, Man.. who resign- ed about a year and a half ago

' when he was 87 years old.

An earlier resignation was that of Rt. Hon. Arthur. Melghen who resigned in 1942 to contest a Fed- eral by-election in York South. He was defeated by J. W. Nose- wortlw, C.C.F. -

Remainder To Follow y Immediately ;

By Dave Mclntosh 3 (Canadian Press Staff Writer) SEA'I'l'LE, Wash.. April 19 - (CP) - The first contingent. of" Canada's 6.000-man Korean bri- gade has sailed for Korea. ,

The remainder. of the force is, following immediately in two olh-l er ships, sailing direct for the war theatre.

it was a lonely departure for" battle with only 15 wives able fol see their men. ,

It was showing about dawn as;

the men strapped on their kit and formed up on the parade square at nearby Fort Lewis.

Bands blared. Orders shouted down the ranks. There was the sharp cianlg of iron- sheathed boots on the pavement. The men stood erect under their heavy packs, rifles and Stan guns slung at their shoulders.

They looked hard. as if they were spoiling for a fight.

And they will get one soon. Brig. John Rockingham, com- mander of the force, said the men will swing into action as soon as

possible. He had a sobering word for all Canadians. He said casualties

would likely be heavier than they were in Italy and Normandy dur-

ing the Second World War be- cause the Korean campaign was one of ”ciose'1' contact."

The night before sailing, the

men were confined to barracks. There were long queues for the long-distance telephone. Others wrote long letters.

Tpr. Noah Umpherville of the Pas. Man.. fished his last stamp from a worn wallet. "This is all the financial backing I- have left, but there's no better way to use it," he said.

Bdr. Dave McConachie of Owen Sound. Ont., said: "There are only two things I'm worried 'about - the boat trip and the smell over there. He was a member of the original advance party that land- ed in Korea in November.

Better Deal For Eastern Canadian. Farms Urged

0i1'rAWiA. April 19- (OP)-A better economic deal for Eastern Canadian farms-rs was urged in the Commons today by G. s. White (P0-Hastings-Pcterborough) as a dull budget debate dragged into its fourth day. ”

He asked the government to place floor prices of 02 cents a pound under butter and 32 cents a pound under cheese. Low prices were making dairy farmers indiff- erent to the fight against dairy substitutes.

Dr. 1". G. Robertson (L-North- umbarlsnd) defended the 1951-52 budget and tamed it a "realistic" and "fair" budget even if it was not "pleasant." to the Opposition. He did. however. regret the new ll-par-cent excise tax on refriger- ators. washing machines and stov-

ulloaeph Noseworthy (COP-York loath) said the budget had con- fkmod his view that the govern- inent had departed from liberal principles to become one of the

Mr. White said the dairy in- dustry should get the same kind of irotcction given the shirt-making industry some months ago when cheap. competitive Japanese shirts were banned from the Canadian, market.

He expressed doubt that :1 cheese contract would be concluded with the United Kingdom Government this year. But Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner should tell the pro- duccrs whether their cheese was going to be requisitioncd this year at 28 cents a pound -while New zeaiand cheese was imported at 32 to 34 cents.
