TORONTO. Dec. 14 - (CF) - Ralph Allen. editor of Maclean's Magazine. replied Saturday to the criticism of photographer Yousinf K-arsh by W. Chester 5. Mcllure (PC -. Queens) in the House of Commons Friday.

Mr. McLure. annoyed at Mr. Karsh's criticism of Charlottetown cooking in n Macleaifs article. call- ed the Armenia-bom photographer "a foreigner-who is now a doubt- ful Canadian."

In a statement, Mr. Allen said:

"Mr. MoLurs's attack on Yousuf Karsh and by Inference on the mil- lions of other good Canadians who were born outside this country is the sort of racist venom which re- futes itself. But for the record Mr. Karsh arrived in Canada-in 1923 and within a week filed a declara- tion of intention to become a. Brit- ish subject.

Max Roth. 33. of Haifa replied: "I am pledged as any radio officer to secrecy. I cannot confirm either the contents or existence of any messages."

Defence Minister Turns Over RCAF Fighter Wing At NATO Base In France

GROS TEINQUIN, France, Dec. 14 l-(GtP)- The RCA!" No. 2 Fighter Wing was officially turn- ed over to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Saturday by

Ch-anadn's Defence Minister, Brooke Claxton.

The Canadians were welcomed to France by Defence Minister Rene Plevln. .

The wing is made up of about 1.000 airmen and is the only NAT 0 airbase in Europe equipped with the latest F-88 Sabre jet fighters. Three squadrons, 80. of these jet fighters manufactured in Canada were flown to Gros Ten-

quin Oct. ii. The wing is the first of Can- adals air contribution to the de-

fence of Western Europe. Three more Canadian wings of 60 to 70 fighters each are due to be estab- lished within the next few months in Western Europe. one near Ver- dun in France and the other two close by in Germany. Claxton handed over the three squadrons to Air Marshal Sir Hugh Saunders of the .RAF, air deputy to Gen. Matthew Ridgway, NATO supreme commander. Ple- ven presented the Gros Tenquin airfield to NATO on behalf of his government. ”Canadians have come to Eur- ope in peace so as to make it uh- necessary for them to come in war." said Claxton. "It is better to have air fields than cemeteries." claxton presented Pleven an al-

ibum of photographs of the wing

"as a permanent souvenir of the friendship between our two coun- tries."

Pleven described the base. con- structed since May 10 of this year. as an example of the speed and efficiency of the defence effort of free peoples.

Radiation Touches Off , Alarm At Atomic Plant

CHALK RIVER. Ont. 14--(CF) --An atmospheric quirk nnd a pin-point hole in Canada's atomic pile were blamed for evacuation of the ntnmlc energy plant here Friday because of excessive rad- latlon.

Dr. C. J. Mackenzie. president of Atomic Encrizy of Canada. sairl the atomic reactor maybe out of opt-ration for some time. Other operations at the 340,000,000 plant 140 miles northwest of Oil- awa won't. be dclnyed as long.

About 350 workers were evac- uate-rl Friday when 100 alarm sir- ens sound:-d the warning that al- omic particles were present. in dangerous proportions. No on- wax injured. Conditions seemed normal Saturday but a careful instrument check continued.

Dr. Mackenzie said a pin-polnb size hole in the reactor caused greater-than-usual radiation to escape up the mo-font-high slacks which carry off radiation.

The heavy overcast and humid- iiy kept the atomic cloud from dispersing as it normally does. A down-draft brought it down about the plant site.

Instruments detected the immediately and the alarm ens sounded.

Workers and scientists left the plant's 100 buildings in an order- ly manner.

Decontamination squads. equip- ped with goggles, rubber gloves. lcnd-soled shoes and rubberized clothing, had cleaned up the plan! area by Saturday noon.

Dr. Mackenzie said decontam- inntinn of a seriously-affected area means a thorough scrubbing of exposed surfaces.

The atomic reactor where the leak occurred is considered to he the most efficient heavy-water reactor in the world. It is a boiler-like structure 84 feet high and 34 feel in diameter coated in lull. its concrete walls are seven feet thick '
