U. S. Subs To launch 7-Ton Guided Missiles

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, Oct. 26—(AP) -— The United States Navy announced today that two submarines will launch seven-ton guided mise- iles off Hawaii Nov, 7 to show they can deliver the atomic bomb if war comes.

Pacific Fleet headquarters disclosed that submarines in the _ current War games in Hawaiian waters already had shown they can carry these huge, long-range weapons in 1 normal underseas operations.

The missiles to be fired are BO-foot-long Loons, an adapta- tion oi’ the V-1 buzz bomb with which the Germans bombarded Britain late in the war.

The Loon, however, is a ,rnll- slle guided by electronic gear in the submarine. Its range is from 100 to 200 miles.

Advocate Change In Federal Voting System

By FORBES lLI-IUDE (Canadian Press Business Editor)

MONTREAL. Oct. fi - (C?) -— The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce today advocated use of the single alternative vote in Federal elections.

This was only one item in a long declaration of policy and series of resolutio s, but the one which caused mos debate. Many delegates felt they didn't; knon enough about the matter to put the Chamber on record as sup- porting 1t.

It almost foundered in a maze of uncertainties concerning pro- cedure but finally was approve-I 4'7 to I8 on roll-call.

The single alternative vote pro- vides for the indicmion of prefer- ences on the ballot paper, first, second, third, and so on, and for the distribution among other Coh- didates of the votes of the candid- ate receiving the smallest mini- ber, uritll one candidate has an absolute majority. .

Its advocates claim it is s safe- guard against candidates Getting elected by a minority vote.

The Chamber declared against any raising of the radio license fee. It stated that radio and lcl- evislon should not be restricted tn any one agency, Government. or otherwise; that private operators should be given opportunity to en- ter television broadcastlng; and that no person or organization in any field should be both compet- itor and regulator.

It declared that the National Fil-m Act "has created a monopoly in the field of Federal Govern- ment film production which is not in the public interest inasmuch as

Drew Suggests Shorter Sessions O__f Parliament

By MEL SUFIDI

OTTAWA, Oct, 26 —- (CP) _ Shorter sessions of Parliament were advocated today by George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader.

The reason: "It will become in- creasingly difficult for men and women across Canada to offer themselves as candidates for Par- liament if the sittings to this House continue to increase in length year by year."

Mr. Drew made his suggestions as the ‘Commons engaged in a long-winded debate on methods of keeping a tab on how the Gov- eminent goes about spending some 52.500.000.000 a year of the people's money.

The debate was touched off by Finance Minister Abbott's motion that the Commons vote the Gov- ernment enough money to carry on business through the month of November.

The dlscussio“. finally conclud- _ed with the Commons giving the green light to spending of some $114,560,000 during the month.

The money amounts to one- twelfth of the 1949-50 estimates. The Government has to ask for it this way because the estimates haven't been passed yet.

Mr. Drew made one suggestion for reducing the length of sessions of Parliament.

He proposed that a special com- mittee of the Commons be estab- lished to go over itern-by-item proposed Government expendi-

Speaks During Debate 0n New Auslerilfllan

Eden Charges Speech ls Only "Pious Ex- horfotions."

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON. Oct. as (GP; Sir Stafford Cripps said today that Britain must conquer dollar mar- kets or "our civilization will fade and wither away."

In s, speech strewn with stat- istics and melancholy warnings, the Chancellor of the Exchequer called on the country to fight as a. team or suffer g "tragic" fail in living standards and widespread unemployment.

Sir Stafford was leading off for the Government in tile two-day debate in the House of Commons 0n the new £280.- 000.000 ($868,000,000) austerity program announced by Prime Minister Attlee. As he spoke. London newspapers told of "the worst slump for wee " on the London Stock Exchange. I-Ie said he thinks the £280,000.-

000 figure is just about enough to keep inflation from smothering Britain's post-devaluation export drive.

Most newspapers and economists have assailed the Government pro- posals as too little and too late. Tonight, Anthony Eden, deputy leader of the Conservative Party, said the new austerities bear no relation to the country's needs.

Sir Stafford himself had this to say of the sterling area's gold and ‘dollar reserves:

"Clearly we can drew no more from our already attenuated re- serves. There is absolutely noth- iniz there to spare. '

“. . . Our reserves have fallen to the point where even quite minor fluctuations in world trade are liable to cause us the very greatest concern."

The Chancellor disclosed for the first time that the Government is taking a deliberate gamble in set- ting its revised dollar-import- pro- gram for 1960 at 01.200.000.000.

It was doing so because the sue- cess of the export drive depended largely on raw materials which British manufacturers could no; obtain under a. smaller program.

UITAWA, Oct. 26 — (CP) The rules of Parliament are driv- ing the Government towards a showdown on an issue that has boiled into the hottest backroom question among French-speaking Liberal members of the Commons.

It flared in the general election campaign but Monday's by-ewc- tions are what have brought it to a head.

It means a decision by Prime Minister 8t. Laurent and his Cab- inet on what to do about Monday's victories by two Independent Lib- erals and one Independent, ail three of whom said they support the Government and all three of whom licked official Liberal ctm- didatea.

The showdown will come early next month when they enter the House because someone has to in- troduce lay-election victors form-

ally. Whether Zfr. 8t“ Laurent or someone else does it. will be thr- tipoff on policy.
