The appointment of chief staff officer, air defence command, goes to Air Commodore Clare L. Annis, 41, of Scarborough, Ont., now at- tending the Imperial Defence Col- lege in Britain. He will d conflict would hinge on what hap- pens in the air. This concept involves three phases: The destruction of enemy air power; the destruction of the enemy's means of replacing this power until somplete mastery of the air is won; destruction of the enemy's ability to produce war materiel. This t is in opposition to Group Capt. J. G.. Scott, 40, of Bobcaygeon, Ont., who is to take an overseas appointment. Air Commodore Annis was cap- tain of a Liberator bomber which in 1942 made the first attack on a U-boat in North American waters, off the strait of Belle Isle between Labrador and Newfoundland. He later commanded an RCAF bomber station in England and has | P' held various posts since the war. the surface concept of war, where the air forces are used chiefly as close support for the army and navy.

Though the defence department is placing increased emphasis on the RCAF in cash outlay, most of the money will go to keeping it up to date in fighter planes and equipment. There is no thought of a bomber command, simply be- cause Canada could not afford one.

Unknown Canadian Gets Involved In White Case By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP)--FBI direc- tor J. Edgar Hoover's disclosure that he opposed, but bowed to, former president Truman's deci- sion to keep Hal Dexter White in the United States government has fanned political controversy in the spectacular case. i . In precedent-breaking testimony, Hoover told the Senate internal security, sub - committee at a crowded televised hearing Tuesday that he advised against retaining White, who had been named in an FBI report as an espionage sus-- pect. The ruddy-faced FBI director said he had never committed his agency to such arrangement, which he said would have been "inconceivable" for it and "not within my purview." He added that FBI efforts to keep an eye on White were hampered after Tru- man let White's appointment as U.S. director of the International Monetary Fund go through Feb. "At no time was the FBI a party to an agreement to promote Harry Dexter White and at no time did the FBI give its approval to such an arrangement," Hoover de- clared. But Hoover confirmed that Tru- man, as the former president had said, Jorma White to transfer from the treasury to the monetary fund post with the idea of contin- uing surveillance of him. Truman did not contend that the FBI had approved this course. CANADIAN INVOLVED In another development Tuesday, Attorney--General Herbert Brown- ell made public a letter from Hoover to the White House in 1946 which said a "high-placed" Cana- dian government source told the FBI director White was slated to be moved into a position, the monetary fund post, which would give him "the power to influence to a great degree deliberations on all international financial arrange- ments." (In Ottawa Tuesday night, a gov- ernment official said it would be impossible to run down the report quickly, but said inquiries would be made and possibly a statement issued later.) Hoover also said two Truman cabinet members involved did not favor keeping White in govern- ment service. Ike Flushes Over "McCarthyism" Tag WASHINGTON (AP)--President:a public statement in which he Eisenhower said today the Big Three meeting in Bermuda next month will be devoted to common problems of defence against Com- munist aggression in Europe and sia.

Premier Frost said Tuesday the government has had many re- quests for an earlier opening. He said the government will do what- ever suits the convenience of most members and, since the province's fiscal year ends March 31, an early opening would have some advant- age from a budget viewpoint. Usually the session lasts six or seven weeks and ends at Easter. In 1954, Easter will be late, falling April 18. Old Fort Blows Itself To Ruin STRASBOURG, France (Reut- ers)--A century-old stone fortress slowly pounded itself to a smoking ruin today as fire which broke out Tuesday in 200 tons of ammuni- tion stored there by the French army continued with periodic blasts and new belches of smoke and flame. Rescue squads stood helpless half a mile away, not knowing how much of the explosives were left still to go off. Inside the tumbled walls of old Fort Foch were six men trapped by the initial blast. Hope of finding them alive has been almost aband- oned, but their families hope they may have escaped the initial ex- plosion and found shelter in an underground dungeon.

But the attorney.general con- ceded, under questioning by Sen- ator John L. McClellan (Dem. Ark.) -that it was a matter of "judgment." He said he was not impugning Truman's loy. as the former president had claimed in asserting that Brownell 'lied to the American people." Brownell said, rather, that Tru- man was guilty of 'blindness' and "laxity" toward Communists in government. In Kansas City, Truman shrug- ged this off with the comment, 'why waste words?" Truman said he had watched Brownell's testimony on TV but not Hoover's. He added of the FBI director: "I'm sure he told' the truth." Fanny White, 70, a sister of Harry Dexter White, said in Boston that Brownell's charges are 'false, all false." She said her brother, who died in 1948 after swearing he was not a spy, "loved this counfry"' and 'had no respect for | Russia." 5 .

He also said the administration probably won't know until next month whether it will have to ask Congress to increase the national debt ceiling of $275,000,000.

Killer "Who Has Found God" Is To Be Hanged STRATFORD (CP) -- Reuben Henry Norman, 26, insisting that he felt no sense of guilt, was sen- tenced Tuesday night to be hanged Feb. 16 for murder in the nogn- hour shooting on a downtown Stratford street last Feb. 2 of his former girl friend, Jean Marie Satchell, 17.

GENUINE SPYING HOAX IS ADVERTISED AS FICTIONAL New York Times carried an advertisement Tuesday for "The Man Who Wouldn't Talk" the story by Quentin Reynolds about the supPosed career of George Dupre of Calgary in which 'Dupre last week ad- mitted to be a hoax.

"KILLJOY" MINISTER Papers Defend Queen's Racing LONDON (Reuters)--Two mass- circulation London papers today came to Queen Elizabeth's defence in a current controversy with Brit- ish Methodists on whether or not she should go to the races. The Daily Mirror and its rival Daily Sketch joined forces to at- tack a Methodist minister, Rev. Donald Soper, for telling the Queen that she should stay away from the tracks. TELLS QUEEN RACES RACKET Mr. Soper, president of the Brit- ish Methodist conference, told a Manchest dience Monday that the Queen would be wiser if she kept away from 'what is erron- eousy called 'the sport of kings' but which is largely 'the house of racketeers. The Mirror told its 4,000,000 readers that Mr. Soper should ex- plain himself to the stewards of the Jockey Club whose job it is "to empty racketeers out of the rt. "There are shgdy characters everywhere--even in church con- gregations," said The Mirror. "But nobody says the Queen must keep away from church to show disapproval." CROAKERS AND KILLJOYS Herbert Gunn, edi of The Daily Sketch, said in a front-page article: "They are at it again. The croakers, the moaners, the Kkill- joys, the pestiferous busybodies: Telling the Queen what to do; telling her what not to do. The Sketch recalled that Mr. Soper had written in the Socialist Daily Herald that, "When my wife and I go on vacation we always put our swimsuits under our Sun- day best and hope for a short ser- mon." Editor Gunn concluded that the Queen has done nothing that the vast majority of her subjects would not wish her to do.

But af- ter a period familiarization, Olive will be the 'stop" s while Albert will be "through".
