S’SIDE PLANES TO AID

- Aircraft, Satellite

To Survey

OTTAWA (CP) — RCAF, transport department and U.S. Navy planes this month will ‘take photographs of Gulf of St. Lawrence ice at the same time as the American Tiros IV wea- ther satellite does from 400 miles up.

Object of the operation, offi- cials said Monday, is to obtain comparative data so that inter- preters of weather satellite pho- tographs can “read” ice condi- tiops.gicom the satellite photos.

The operation will begin right after this month’s scheduled launching and will last for five days. It will be resumed for about a week some two months later when Tiros IV's orbit again takes it over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. ‘

Aircraft taking part include an RCAF Argus maritime pa- trol plane, an RCAF CF-100 jet and Lancasters and Dakotas, one transport department Da-. kota and four planes of the U.S. Navy. : :

CONTROL FROM HALIFAX

The operation will be con- trolled from the transport de- partment’s ice forecasting cen- tre at Halifax. The planes likely will use the RCAF bases at Greenwood, N.S., and Summer- side, P.E.I.

Almost a year ago scientists of the U.S. weather bureau and

‘U.S. Navy hydrographic office

‘began to notice that what ap-

Ice In Guif

peared to be sea ice was show- ing up on photographs taken by the Tiros satellites.

Ice and cloud both show up as light patches and scientists now want to determine how to differentiate between the two so that they can definitely “read” ice conditions.

The planes will fly set - pat- terns over the Gulf of St. Law- rence to provide photos of ice conditions to compare with the pictures televised back to earth by Tiros IV when it is in orbit over the gulf.

FLIGHTS TIMED

The planes will fly at altitudes ranging from 2,000 to 40,000 feet. The flights will be timed to cor- respond with the times of pas- sage of the satellite. The times will be provided by the satellite communicator at Wallops Is- land, Va.

Halifax will be in direct com- munication with the photogra- phing planes. The RCAF will

‘provide some . communications

and maintenance facilities for the two A3D and two P2V U.S. Navy planes,

The transport department will provide six ice observers and the Defence Research Board a co-ordinating officer.

Stevenson Makes Reply To Cuban

UNITED NATIONS (CP) — United States Ambassador Ad- lai Stevenson said Monday Cuba is trying fo wreck the Alliance- for-Progress aid program for | Latin America and thus make it easier for Communist sub- version to spread throughout | Latin America.

Stevenson told the United Na- tions’ main political committee that is the real reason Cuba sought gebate now on her long- standing charges that the U.S. is contemplating “‘new plans of aggression’’ aimed at toppling Fidel Castro's government.

Stevenson spoke in reply to a bitter attack by Cuban dele gate Mario Garcia - Inchauste- gui, who charged the U.S. gov- ernment with acts of corruption, defamation and even murder in the western hemisphere.

The MP for Essex Fast also | maintained during Commons de- | bate om the pension increase | that the government is using the constitution as a device for not embarking now on a contribu- tory old age pension plan.

Health Minister Monteith charged the Liberals with ‘‘six- buck mentality,’’ a reference to the Liberal government's action of 1957 in boosting by $6 to $46 the old age pension, paid to all at age 70.

Mr.Monteith said the Liber- als amended their new old age pension scheme just as soon as they found out about the $10 in- crease.

GIVES COST

The minister said the pension increase will cost about $113,- 400,000 a year. Pension pay- ments in 1962-63 would amoynt to $737,000,000. This would fh- clude a higher number of pen- sioners, now abowyt 930,000, in the next fiscal year.
