WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER PAGE ELEVEN Britain, U.S. Make Canada "Arsenal" New York, Nov. 10 -- (CP) -- Business Week says in its current issue that Britain, the United States and Canada have framed a plan to make the Dominion an air- craft arsepal for the Common- wealth in the event another world emergency. The magazine says in a feature titled "Washington Outlook," that r the plan Canada would "take on e job of building transports and bombers." The United States contribution would be largely "en- gineering know-how" on high-speed aircraft. (In Ottawa Monday, a source commenting on the report sald: "That will cost money. Who will pay for the supplies?") Business Week says that under the plan--"quietly framed" in Lon- don, Washington and Ottawa-- Britain would be able to concen- trate on producing jet fighters. The magazine says "a buildup of Canadian production is under way." It adds: "Two British companies have acquired plants--one in Toronto, one near Halifax--to be operated by Canadian subsidiaries with Am- erican help. "Also, Fairchild and the Royal Canadian Air Force are dickering on Canadian production of the Fairchild C-82 packet transport; Electric Boat's Montreal subsidiary, Canadair, probably will get the job on licence from Fairchild." Another periodical, Air Week, in last week's issue said that while Canada's manufacturing industry still is tiny by United States or British standards, it is likely to play an important role in the air rearmament of the Commonwealth and of the western uniom powers. With increased importance, the magazine said, will come increased size. Air week pointed out that during the Second World War Canada pro- duced more aircraft per capita than any other allied country. Dean Sabotaged At University Montreal, Nov. 10 -- (CP) --Very Rev. Hewlett Johnson, the "Red Dean" of Canterbury, was sabo- taged here Tuesday night as he spoke to members of the McGill University Student Christian Move- ment--somebody had cut the loud- speaker wires before his arrival. As the S.C.M. has. no large as- sembly room, students had rigged up a system of loudspeakers so the group could listen in rooms and halls on each floor. Only those on the main floor could hear Dean Johnson as he told students that discussions for last ing peace would ultimately begin on the basis of the six points made by Henry Wallace, unsuccessful candidate for the United States presidency. Dean Johnson said he felt "a dash of and spice of illegality" about the meeting. "It would be that I am address- ing a body of very valiant McGill rebels." Dean Johnson was constantly heckled and at times stopped speaking until the crowd quieted. The Anglican clergyman will speak here again tonight and Thursday night. His speech tonight was scheduled for the church of St. John the Devine after an earlier request for use of the Montreal High School auditorium had been refused. Uranium Staking Area Outlined Toronto, Nov. 10--(CP)--The On- ario Mines Department had two tips today for prospectors staking claims in the area northwest of Sault Ste. Marie where deposits of radio-active ore are reported to have been found. Department officials said any claim staked in the area extending from the short of Lake Superior to a line one mile east of the Batcha- wana highway will not be confirm- ed unless there is a positive discov- ery of valuable mineral. That area was withdrawn from staking some time ago to prevent lands being ac- quired under the mining act for summer resort purposes. The officials also cautioned con- cerning prospecting on Crown tim- ber reserves. of DODDS KIDNEY PILLS | Ym BECAUSE | KNOW | CAN DEPEND ON Dodds!

'More Radio Could Combat | Propaganda | Ottawa, Nov. 10--(CP) -- Solon | Low, National Social Credit lead- ler, believes that what the allies need in Berlin are bigger planes |and radio stations to counter Rus- {sian propaganda. ] There was also the need for Can- | adian participation in the Berlin | airlift, he said Tuesday night in an address before the closing con- | vention of the Ontario Social: Cred- |it Association. | The allies must stay in Berlin. "If they do not, they will lose pres- tige--and Berlin." Recently returned from a trip to Germany, Mr. Low said larger planes are neded to carry supplies |into the beleaguered allies sections of Berlin. "Canada should do her share by supplying pilots for some of these planes." "I believe Canada should stand beside the other members of the Commonwealth to see that Germ |any does not surrender to Russia." Radio stations should be estab- lished in Berlin by Britain, France and the United States to counter act Russian propaganda being transmitted daily over the power- ful Russian stations in that eity. Mr. Low added that the Berlin situation was 'one of the slender | threads by which the peace of the World hangs today." He admired the "magnificent res- traint" shown by the allies in the face of Russian antagoniaing be- havior. If this restraint continued, | there would be a war in the "near | future." today--You can be sure it will pay. Try a Times-Gazette classified ad AJ .

Hambly's Carbonated Beverages EMERGENCY LANDING New York, Nov. 10--(AP) -- A transatlantic plane with 23 passen- gers -- and only 17 minutes of fuel in its tanks -- made an emergency landing in pea-soup fog Tuesday night at International airport. The Air France Constellation circled the huge airport at Idlewild, Queens, for more than an hour and a half while field officials tried to track down a small aircraft lost in the fog. The small plane later land- ed at another field. Beautiful Comet Sweeps Across American Skies Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 9--(AP)-- The most beautiful comet since Halley's paid an earthly visit 38 years ago, is sweeping through the skies tonight--and giving astronom- ers a merry chase in trying to chart its course. A Californian got the first glimpse in the United States of the new comet--and an Arizona as- tronomer reported later that it ap- peared there moving in a. south- westerly direction. This means folks in Southern United States stand a good chance to see the phenomenon tomorrow just before dawn; whether those in more northerly regions and Cana- da get a view remains in doubt. Dr. Dinsmore Alter, director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, said he followed the comet for an hour with naked eye and field glasses and called 'it "the most beautiful since Halley's in 1910." "It showed a peculiar sheath-like effect of the head," he said, "pre- ceding the nucleus and then sweep- ing backward to form the long, bright tail." Astronomers here said the comet might be around for a few morn- ings--and the time to look is just before sunrise. Charles Federer, editor of Sky and Telescope, said: "We still don't know officially what direction it's going in." But if it's moving northward, he said, the whole, country will probably get a view. First sighted by a South African observer Sunday ,the comet has been spotted rushing through the skies since then by watchers in Ar- gentina, Mexico and Australia. The Mexican astronomer -- Luis Enrique Erro of the National Astro- zintla--said the comet was "bright er than Venus.' The planet Venus is generally regarded as the most sparkling object in the night sky except the moon. The always cautious astronomers even raise the possibility this comet might be an old onc making a re- turn visit. Comets are strange things, any- way. Halley's comes back every 76 years--and has been doing so to mankind's " knowledge since before the birth of Christ. There are others that swish off and aren't expected back in a thousand years. Historically, it's important, for it the astronomers can get enough observation on the curve of this comet in its swing around the sun they can tell whether or not it's an old one that probably scared our remote ancestors running around in bearskins. EDGAR KENNEDY DIES San Fernando, Calif, Nov. 10-- (AP)--Edgar Kennedy, 58, one of the original "keystone cops" who wowed silent film audiences, died Tuesday at the Motion Picture Hos- pital after a long illness. Kennedy's last movie appearances were in RK.O.s "average man" comedies, and he had appeared in more than 500 pictures since his screen debut |in 1911, New Worry For Men Who Plan Policy Berlin, Nov. 10--(AP)--A French threat to try to slow down Western Germany's recovery may give the United States a new foreign-policy headache. ; The French military governor, Gen. Pierre Koenig, protested at a military governors' conference last week that Western Germany was recovering "too rapidly." Unless it was slowed down, he threatened to withhold approval from the Western German constitution, now being formed, and the merger of the French zone into a "trizonia," auth- oritative sources said. Gen. Lucius D. Clay of the Unit- ed States and, to a lesser extent, Britain's Gen. Sir Brian Robertson, replied that as long as the Ameri- can and British taxpayers were putting millions into German re- covery, such recovery would be pushed as rapidly as possible until Germany could pay her own way. Germany is not expected to be self-sufficient before 1952. Koenigh likewise protested phases of the German constitutional assem- bly in Bonn and the European re- covery arrangements for a delay in dismantlings and reparations. When pressed by the western military governors whether he was willin gto carry out the London six- power agreement on setting up a limited state in Western Germany, Koenig sald his statements were | not intended to abrogate this agree- | ment, but expressed the OBinion France was dissatisfied with the "trend in Germany." Since the dismantling question noy is on a governmental level where France agreed to a delay pending study, Koenig's views did not seem completely in line wi those of Robert Schuman, French Foreign Minister. Koenig is known as a strong De Gaullist. NO PASSPORT VISA Havana, Cuba, Nov. 10--|AP)-- The Cuban State Department an- nounced Tuesday that Canadians could visit Cuba for six months without a passport visa. The Cuba chancellory said the action was tak- en in reciprocity with a similar mea- sure adopted by the Canadian gov- ernment authorizing Cubans to visit Canada without a passport visa for six months.
