re minary ar an, , er ahatelois, 2t, who testified foil-Loghe Crown was granted a three - day grbsl remand at request of the

own prosecutor.

Bolsvert was shot on the stair- way of his north-end Montreal home, above the tavern, and died almost instantly. Police said he had received the day's receipts from the tavern from his manager a short time earlier, but his as- sailant, or assailants, fled without stealing anything.

Chatelois, who testified for the Crown, told the coroner's inquest that the decision to rob Boisvert was taken by the five accused at a meeting in a Verdun restaurant Iarl on the evening of Dec. l8.

l but Marci], a former em-

ployee of Bolsvert, were driven to

b9. a place near.the tavern in a priv-

ate taxi and after an argument as to whether it was worth breaking into the house it was decided that "we all would go in," Chatelois

sold.

Walsh and Kelly entered the house first, the witness continued. When Chateiois and Edwards fol- lowed theiy heard a shot and Chatelois rushed out of the house and later left the district in a

taxi.

He said he did not know until next day that Bcisvert was dead nor did he know that any of the men was carrying a revolver. He told of a conversation later in the evening with Kelly and Walsh during which Walsh said yes when Kelly asked him if he had "dis- posed of the gun."

Marci! also testifled for the Grown and said he knew Chufelois was carrying a .25 calibre revolver sometime before the shooting. He said too that on the evening of the murder he saw Kelly give

something to Walsh under the ‘table wh 1e they were in the rest- aurant.

He declared that the pur- ported Russian bomb could be manufactured on a “mass pro- duction scale." Dr. Armattoe declined to disclose the source of his information but, pressed for a hint of his source, ro- plied some membe of Mme- shie Centre's staff were af- filiated with Russlan scientific societies.

Dr. Arznuttoc said Russian scientists already had tested what he termed "the Russian atom bomb" which he said was about as large as a tennis ball and had a horizontal pul- verlzation range of 53 miles and a vertical lift of more than 8 2/10 miles.

‘The temperature generated." he said, "was in the neighbor- hood of several million degrees oentlgrade."

Dr. Armattoe said the Soviet Council of Defence had ordered a group of Russian scientists to concentrate on atomic re- search immediately after the Anglo - American - Canadian atom bomb was first. disclosed to the world.

The scientist said the bomb was developed with thc help of two German physicists. Whom the Russians had captured.

Kapitsa, he said, formerly was affiliated with Cambridge University.

Ontario Forces Sudden Change In Dttawa Plans

(Special to The Guardian)

UITAWA. Jan. 'l-Official Otta- wa is still staggering from the bombshell dropped by Ontario Premier George Drew Sunday night on the Dominion-Provincial conference.

Mr. Drew's counter-proposals, it is SBlCl in official circles, \Vlli nco- essitate far-reaching study, and may mean that the conference will have to start anew on a complete- ly different basis to that which Prime Minister King asked the provinces to accept on August (i, 1945 when the conference on Dom- inion-Provinciai relations first op- cried.

Newspapermen and other; in Ottawa who witnessed Mr. King emerge smiling from the confer- ence room of the co-ordlnating committee of provincial Premiers five weeks ago, are now wondering what he meant when he said biandly that "we have had - very interesting and rofliable (‘llSCUS- slon." What, it s asked, did the Prime Minister mean by the word "profitable"?

Premier Drew's proposals will first necessitate a sudden change of the agenda of the economic committee of the Dominion-Prov- incial conference which foregath- ers here tomorrow.

It is considered not improbable that the committee of Premiers. scheduled to re-assembie 1n Otta- wa on January 28, may call an ad- journment for further study of the Ontario pro osais. The attit- ude of Quebec as not yet been reviewed by Premier Maurice Du- plessis, but members of his party north of the Ottawa River hint that he may give solid support to the new Ontario plan.

Should Ontario and Quebemwith more than half the population of Canada and two-thirds of its wealth stand fast in their opposit- ion to the Federal Government's proposals, it la cert that the out re basis for negotiation will be revised.

Squaredlim Said Latest In Fashions

By DOROTHY R0! Associated Press Fashion Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 7-We've had

flat hips and rounded‘ hips, slim hips and broad ones, but it re- mained for Claire McCardell, that always surprising young New York designer. to introduce square hips.

Ami square they are, in new bal- lerina type skirts with flaring square flap pockets or ingenious seaming to achieve the right-ang- led effect. Slacks, of the frontier- pants type, also lut out squarely at each side, just below the belt.

As usual, Miss McCardell likes shoulders that are dropped or rounded, with wide, loose ar - holes and that studied sloppy e- fect which appeals to schoo girls.

Another coup in the McCardell collection is the turtle-neck swim suit. Having undressed the Amer- ican bathing beauty to the bare minimum with her sensational diaper swim suit and anung of the last two seasons, isire does an about-face and covers her up. He:- gray jersey swim suit. with turtle-neck and diaper-t e shorts. is a highlight of the col ectlon.

P. E. I. Tourist Travel’ Expected To Recich An All-Time High In ’46

(Special to The Glnrdianl

UITAWA, Jan. '1—From present indications, tourist travel to Prince Edward Island and to summer playgrounds of the other Maritime Provinces will reach an all-time high in L940, ‘The Guardian's Ot- tawa correspondent was informed today by D. Leo Dolan, chief of the Canadian Travel Bureau.

"The Travel Bureau's allocation for advertising has been substant- ially increased this year." Mr

olan said, "and we propose t0 dvertise on a large scale in the, New England and Atlantic Slates, newspapers this spring. Some of out‘ advertisements will be of a general nature, but others _will deal specifically of the attractions of individual provinces. In this respect, I can assure you that Prince Edward Island Will not be forgotten."

Mr. Dolan pointed out that while the railways’ rolling stock, ships and buses had been subject- ed to a severe strain by wartime conditions, every effort was being made to put them to marumum civilian use after the Domimcnfls fighting men have been brought back from overseas. Manufactur- ing and repair shops of transpor- tation companieo, he said, were being geared to a high pitch to meet the expected influx of tour- ists from United States points. _

"It is difficult to predict with certainty what the volume of tour- ist travel to P. E. I. and the Mari- times will be this year, but every survey and indication received at this office points to an all-time record," Mr. Dolan continued.

"Leaders in the tourist industry in the United States are preparing so!‘ vast fipods" of summer visitors ' otmdqor Canada," he said, “and a very large proportion want to spend their summer vacations’ on the sea coast. It is apparent that many United States people who formerly spent a few weeks or months in Europe are planning to come to Canada and to Eastern Canada this year.

“Our increased advertising bud- get for all the provinces will be helpful in attracting growing numbcrs of tourists to Prince Ed- ward Island, and visitors who once have visited that province have acquired a habit of returning Year after year. We look forward to one of 131a greatest tourist years

FREDERICTON, Jan. ‘I — (GP) -Premicr J. B. McNair of New Brunswick tonight urged a “nat- ional" rather than a “sections? approach to the problems of the Dominion-Provincial conference.
