414 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, August 10, 1953 SE HELICOPTERS, CHANNEL WINGS ACHIEVE SAME RESULT The all-metal channel wing air- craft, top, is designed to land and take off on comparatively small runways. In its maiden flight at Oxnard, Cal., the two-ton plane got, into the air after a run of less than 100 feet. It "~nded after | the flight with power off at less than 40 miles an hour. Observers called the performance "terri- fic'. British engineers, striving for aircraft that will operate on equally short runways, produced the Fairey Rotodyne, above, a helicopter powered by two prop- eller turbines and designed to carry 40-50 passengers. This is expected to be the inter-city bus of the future. Central Press Canadian. Strikers Use Cars To Block Street WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--Striking truck drivers Sunday won the sec- ond round of a controversy over attempts by a Toronto transport truck to deliver goods after they caused a traffic jam on a street near downtown Windsor. The truck, owned by McKinlay Transport, Ltd., and driven by Donald MacKinnon, 32, arrived here Friday with a load of zinc alloy for a local manufacturing firm. The truck was stopped by strikers and moved into a strike- bound transport company yard. Sunday provincial police escorted the truck out of the yard and to the firm where the cargo was un- loaded. Soon more than 100 strikers, among some 1,500 who went on strike throughout Western Ontario July 18, arrived on the scene. The strikers parked their cars along the street outside the company yard and soon a number of other cars and five city buses were caught in the traffic jam which lasted more than three hours. Company officials met with union officials and announced they would not accept the load of zinc. The cargo was re-loaded on the vehicle. Later a representative from Mec- Kinlay Transport arrived and con- ferred with union offiicals and po- lice. Following the meeting it was | truck would be| announced the taken to a private parking lot and remain there for the duration of the strike. Soon afterwards, the jam was untangled and the strikers moved off. Meanwhile, crown attorney Bruce J. S. Macdonald has decided there are no grounds for prosecution against truck driver Bob Beer who was questioned Saturday after three strikers charged Beer had menaced them with a rifle. The three told police that Beer told them the rifle would be used "if there is any more trouble." Beer said he hadn't the "slightest intention" of using the gun and only displayed it when his truck was stopped so the strikers would listen to what he had to say. Malenkov's Speech Dismays Diplomats By REUTERS NEWS AGENCY Western observers are more con- cerned with Russian Premier Georgi Malenkov's pronouncements on foreign affairs than with his . announcement that Russia has or can build a hydrogen bomb. Western scientists were not sur- JEised to learn about the H-bomb. ir feelings were expressed by Prof. Marcus Oliphant, ; director of Australia's National University research school of physical scien- ces, who said the principle of the hydrogen bomb is well known. "It is just a question of making the necessary effort," he said. "It would be a grave mistake to be- lieve that Russian scientists. are not capable of doing this in prin- ciple, or that Russian technolo- gists are not capable of carrying it out." But as far as politics are con- cerned, Malenkov's speech to the Supreme Soviet Saturday is be- lieved to rule out any chance of early agreement on world issues. His speech indicated that Russia does not want to negotiate isolated roblems; it demanded that the est abandon plans to bring West Germany into the European De- fence Community; and it again branded the Atlantic alliance as the "main threat to world peace." But the West is not likely to abandon either NTO or the EDC just to have the honor of talking things over with the Kremlin. Malenkov's speech does, how- ever, clarify Soviet foreign policy as set out in a note to the Big Three last week answering propo- sals for a foreign ministers' con- ference to discuss German elec- tions and an Austrian peace treaty. The note suggested vaguely that the ministers should tackle the overall problem of Germany and ways of relaxing the cold war and said Communist China should at- tend the conference. Big Tree diplomats will meet soon to discuss an answer to the note, but they are not likely to agree tc Communist China sitting in. The West wants more proof of Seviet sincerity in wanting world peace, preferably at the forthcom- ing Korean political conference or in an Austrian peace treaty, be- fore agreeing to a conference to discuss the entire cold war. Hopes of an Austrian treaty were dashed by Malenkov, however, when he reiterated that he wants the bigger problem of Germany settled first. His address showed he wants to discuss all or nothing. Floating Feet Disclose Body Beneath Pulpwood ESPANOLA, Ont. (CP) -- Joe Masson, 45-year-old liquor store clerk, was shot in the head by a killer who hoped to commit the "perfect erime" by hiding the body under a pulpwood boom, police said Sunday. If the plan for disposing of the body had succeeded, the Killing migat have gone undetected for months--and possibly forever. A freak accident brought the corpse to light, Police said Mas- son's body was jammed down through the floating pulpwood sticks in the Spanish river near this pulpmill town 40 miles south- west of Sudbury and then fastened with a chain which linked two booms. But Masson's belt appar- ently caught on a log and the soles of the victim's shoes popped up to the surface. Ernie Laplante and Edmond La- cance, moving the boom to a dif- ferent location, spotted the shoes and found the body 180 feet from shore Saturday, about 48 hours af- er Masson was last seen alive.

Big Three By DON DALLAS LONDON (Reuters)--Nikita Ser- geyevich Krushchev, a short squat tough Ukrainian who recently be- came senior secretary of the cent- ral committee of the Soviet Com- munist Party, has emerged this week as one of Russia's 'big three." On th first three days of the Supreme Soviet tension in Moscow only three persons have attended each meeting of the two chambers. They are Prime Minister Georgi Malenkov, head of the government, Marshal Klimenti Voroshilov, head of the state, and Krushchev, head of the party. The attendance of all three at each Supreme Soviet meeting seems to have been intended as a demonstration of unity at the top--the much publicized '"'collec- tive leadership" principle--in face of the recent split through downfall of Lavrenti P. Beria. Stalin treated the Supreme Sov- iet somewhat disdainfully. He al- ways made a point of attending the joint budget session and some- times he was seen at one other meeting, usually sitting in the back row of the government benches. He did not bother to at- tend the remaining meetings, al- ways of a routine nature. Marshal Voroshilov--at 72 the oldest close contemoprary of Sta- lin--seems to rank fourth in the PEesent hierarchy. Vyacheslav olotov, foreign minister and a senior deputy J remier, still ranks second according to the latest official listing, That leaves No. 3 spot to Krushchev, 59 - year - old miner's son who joined the Bol- shevik (Communist) party in 1918. On the eve of the Supreme Soviet meeting this week the leading party and state figures attended an exhibition of Chinese industry and commerce in Moscow's Gorky Park. Moscow radio announced the per- he | sonalities in this order of prece- dence: Malenkov, Molotov, Krush- chev, Voroshilov, Marshal Nikolai Buganin (defence minister). Lazar Kaganovich, Anastas Mikoyan, M. Z. Salurov and Mikhail Pervukhin. Glaciers Covered James Bay Only 2.000 Years Ago ST. JOVITE, Que. (CP)--A lead- ing U.S. scientist believes the dav will come when the muskeg bar- rens around James Bay will bz covered with rich forests. Dr. John E. Potzgev, forest- scientist from Butler University in Tndianapolis. said in an intarview here the forest will spring up as soil 'conditions in the area im- prove. Dr. Potzger spoke on his return from a survey of the James Bay area. The survey was part of a study he has undertaken with other scientists to determine the age of forests in some areas and the possibilities of forestry growth in others. ALREADY HAS START He said there now is a scatter- ing of trees in the James Bav region. He expects them to spread into forests of spruce, fir, tamar- ack and jackpine. "They will be able to come in bulk only after enough soil has been made by the decay of the pioneer trees," he said. *"Every- thing else is suitable. The new soil itself has a sound foundation to work on, for the region is over- laid with 10 feet of peat, which is rich organic material." Dr. Potzger said the area around James Bay is "astonishingly young." Other scientists have esti- mated there were glaciers in north- ern Labrador as recently as 2,000 years ago. Dr. Potzger is inclined to agree that perhaps the same figure might be found to apply to the James Bay region. His survey completed the largest study ever made in Canada on forestry growth. His studies have covered points from the United States border to 70 miles north of James Bay, and from Gaspe to southern Ontario. The study gives a picture of for- est growth back to the great ice age, and has practical application in climatology and long-term for- estry science. Dr. Potzger came to Canada at the invitation of the Quebec gov- ernment's service of biography, Albert Courtemanche, director of the service and of the Mont ™-- blant biological station where Dr. Potzger is doing his laboratory work, was leader of the James Bay trip. Companies Try | For Injunctions To Stop Pickets TORONTO (CP)--Two companies today asked fo injunctions against picketing by striking unions at South Porcupine and Niagara Falls.

When all but 50 feet of the first section of 20-inch oil pipeline had been pulled below the waters of the Straits of Mackinac a shaft on the enormous winch on the southern shore snapped. The engineers in charge reported that it will take a week or more to machine a new shaft and fly it to the site from the west coast. The engineers, however, hoped to pull the first section the rest of the 50 feet today and then pull a second 2 ,500-foot section with a spare drum. Attempts to pull the first section the remaining 50 feet with seven Jractors on the southern shore failed. The launching of the pipeline was 14 hours behind schedule.
