I Steel Soles To

CLEVELAND (AP) ~ Steel magazilic says no major automo- tive order for steel has been placed for a month, and the steel intlus-try is not expecting much help froln that source in March.

Auto m.'.'ke1's are holding steel stocks to an abnormally low level of 20 days, the weekly journal of metalworking says.'But sales of 1953 models have been 22.4 pel- cent under new model sales a year ago, and Feb. 1 new-car in- ventory was 21 per cent above a year ago. ,

Even with reduced production, the auto makers are expected to

the Feb. 1-June 1 period. Deduct- ing probable sales «for the four months, that would leave nearly 900,000 cars in dealers‘ show- rooms June 1, Steel says.

This meant that in event of a strike production could halt for slx weeks "without inconvenienc- ing buyers.”

Last week steel operations de- clined to 53.5 per cent of capacity, down a half point.

Whclling Future ‘Depends On Vote

GRAND BAY, Nfld. (CP)—'1‘he future of whaling operations in the Pacific out of Vancouver hinges on a vote being taken among British Columbia and Newfoundland w'ha_lelrs.

Last fall at the conclusion of the hunt the men presented the operators with a new working agreement that included a con- siderable increase in salaries, bonuses and rates for each whale caught. 1

The operators have declined to

here, and advised the men they will operate only on the terms of the 1957.agreement,

The men have put the‘ matter to a vote. At a meeting here this week 80 per cent of the New- foundland fishermen voted to op‘- erate on last year’s agreement.

Decision of the West Coast fish-. ermen will berriade known ‘Mon. day. ’

Between 20 and 30 Newfound- land fishermen voted. Involved in the dispute are British Columfbia Packers Ltd? ‘and the United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union’.

Research andmanagement pro-. grammes aimed aﬁ rehabilitating the stocks of Atlantic salmon in Canada‘s east coast were outlin-, ed’ at the annual meeting of the‘ federal—provincial Atlantic Sal- mon Co-ordinating Committee which opened in Ottawa.

1 Hon. J . Angus MacLean, Minis- ter of Fisheries, welcomed lnem- bers of the Committee which is composed of Deputy Minister of Fisheries George R. Clark and provincial deputy ministers con- cerned with salmon in the five Atlantic provinces. Mr. Clark is acting as chairman of the two- day meeting. I -Mr. MacLean paid tribute to the work of the Co-ordinating Committee and its advisory body, which.is made up of represen- tatives of provincial government departments and commercial and sport fishing organizations. GREAT SERVICES

The Minister said that the ser- vices rendered by these people and the scientists and others en- gaged in the work of conserving Canada's natural resources was not generally appreciated by the public despite the magnitude of their contribution.

Problems involved in efforts not only to halt the decline but in- crease the Atlantic salmon popu- lations were particularly complex because of the marked suscepti- bility of this species to even the slightest changes in its freshwater environment, Mr. MacLean said. Frequently these changes were so subtle‘ as not to be noticeable to the untrained eye but their ef- fects were nonetheless drastic. The lvlinister cited the case of several European countries which had at one time enjoyed large populations of salmon but had seen them become seriously de- pleted. Much of this depletion was attributable to the impact of spreading civilization on the in- land waterways in which the sail- mon are hatched and nurtured in the years until they go to sea. OBTAIN FACTS '

Mr. MacLean said that the value of the Co-ordinating Coin- mittee lay in its capacity to re- alize the implications involved in all aspects of ‘the overall salmon problem. There were many in- (crests involved and all had to be considered in their proper light. The important thing, he added, was to obtain the facts on whic policies could be based for the greatest good of the industry gen- erally.

In a general review of events since the Committee‘s last an- nual mceting, Mr. Clark referred to the passing of Dr. Charles Fremont of Quebec, a valued member who, he said, had made an important contribution to the Committee’s work. Mr. Clark said that during the year the Com- mittee had made good progress towards its objective but all would agree that tliere was no easy road to success in solving the salmon problems. -

FINDINGS

Today the main Colnmittce is meeting with its acivisory group to hear reports of the research

and managerneut programmes

Salmon! Population Decline Presents Difficult Problems

during the past year. These are being presented ‘ by Dr. C. J. Kerswill, Scientist in Charge of Atlantic Salmon Investigations at the Fisheries Research Board’s Biological Station. St. Andrews, N. B., and Dr. W. M. Sprules, Special Assistant‘ to the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ottawa.

Dr. Sproules was unable 0 at- tend because of illness and his report was presented by E. W. Burridge of the same Depart- ment.

The Committee will also re- ceive comments and recommend- dations fromsits advistory com- mittee members and will plan programmes for the coming year. STOCKS DECLINE A grim forecast of a decline of salmon stock in three princi- pal salmon streams in New Brunswick’ as the result of DDT spraying between 1952 and 1957 to control the spruce budworm was made by Dr. Kerswill in his re- view of the -Atlantic salmon re- search programme. ,'

He said that the general public was not yet aware of the harm that had been done to stocks of Atlantic salmon through spraying because the decline had not been obvious to everyone. ‘In forecast- ing the probable decline on such famous angling rivers as the Miramichi, the Restigouche and the St. John, he said that by 1961 these rivers would have

In the Restigouche and St. John the decline-would not be as con- stant as on the Miramichi be- cause of thelcessation of DDT spraying for a period, but he warned that the decline in these rivers would compare to the

WASHINGTON - (AP)—-A U.S. government statement F r id a y conceded that an accidental crash involving a nuclear weapon could cause a poisonous dust cloud. But it said the dust would be harm- less unless inhaled.

In a joint announcement appar- ently designed to quiet concern, the defence department and the Atomic Energy Commission said that planes, trains and trucks have been carrying nuclear weap- ons for 12 years, that there have been few accidents and that none has caused a nuclear explosion.

How many accidents have oc- curred, and where, the two agen- cies still declined to say, despite published reports that there have been several such ticklish inci- dents in recent years.

The statement defined a nuclear explosion as one involving “fis- sion or fusion reaction creating a large explosive effect." No such reaction has occurred in any of the accidents, it was stressed. ORDINARY EXPLOSIVES

nuclear weapons contain some or- dinary chemical explosives - ap- parently for purposes of pushing fission sections together swiftly create the “critical mass” re- quired for explosion or to con- tribute to pi"essure-producerl heat required for fusioll.~

explosive. Indeed. the statement admitted that this kind of an ac- cident has occurred on a few oc- casions without causing appreci able damage or any injury to per- sons because of the presence of nuclear material.

But the statement also said at this point:

“An accidental detonation of conventional e x p 1 o sives might

Then the experts declared that this dust “could be hazardous only if taken internally, as by breathing.”

SAFETY MEASURES

Even if atomic particle dust was kicked up by an accident, the statement said, strict safety mea- sures make it unlikely any person exposed “would inhale dangerous amounts” of the dust. These sat‘- ety measures include:

1. The amounts of nuclear ma- terial'which may be transported in a single shipment are limited.

2. Military Commands and AEC install a tli o n s have specially trained and equipped teams to de- contaminate the area of an acci- dent involving nuclear material.

The government advised that _”th.e public, to the extent pract- ical. should avoid the area of the accident until it has been re-

, ported as cleared for general re- coldd touch off this conventional.entry.” .
