lnslrumeEis Fail To Record Full Effects tifjorce

By ELTON O. FAY

WASHINGTON. (AP) -Shatter- lng power hunderds of times greater than any previous man- made explosion was unleashed when the United States set off its H-bomb No. 2.

That detonation in the mld-Pa-

clfic proving grounds two weeks ago also. 1. Left scientific measuring instruments unable to record

the full effects of the unpre- dicted force.

2.Apparcntly pushed radio- active debris and moisture out beyond the safety zone bound- ary of the test area.

3. Jarred an island 178 miles distant.

This information came Wednes- day from It variety of sources- including direct statements by congressional committee members and comments by other well qual- ified sources who could not be named.

or high significance was the fact that all described the March 1 ex- plosion as that of an actual weapon capable of being dropped on an enemy.

Representative Carl Durham (Dem. N. C.l. member of the Joint congressional Atomic En- ergy committee told reporters, that the explosion was many times greater than the other thermonu- clear blast detonated at the Pa- cific proving grounds in Novembe: 1932.

600 Times Hiroshima

Another equally lnfomied source said it was at least 600 times more powerful than the wartime nuclear fiasion bomb dropped an 1-m-om- ima-which released energy equiv- 31eI1tilo'20.000 tons of TNT: '

Comment by. Durham suggested that a subdtgntlal glzagreement exists within govern exit over whether the American public and the world in general should be given accurate. comprehensible in- formation on the awful power of the new weapon.

Durham declared the bomb "is such it horrible thing. it's best to tell world about it: the people of the entire world should be told quickly the extent of property damage and damage to life that can be expected from this type of weapon."

Before that there was the state- ment of Senator Styles Bridges (Rep. N. H.) that the 1952 H-bomb test eradicated a. Pacific island and tore a hole in the ocean floor a mile wide and 175 feet deep.

AEO member Thomas E. Mur- ray has sugested that it might be well for observers. including for- eigners, to see an H-weapon test as an object lesson of the urgent need to keep world peace.

Soviet Premier Georgi Malcnkov talked last week of the dangers of "preparations for a new world slaughter which with the existence of modem means of destruction would mean the end of world civ- ilization.” ,

Vessel Lost In

Gulf Of St. Lawrence pa

By STEWART MacLEOD

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld., (CF)-The sealing vessel Newfoundlander sank Wednesday without loss of life beneath crushing ice in 100 fathoms of the grey Gulf of at. Lawrence.

Capt. Fred Blackmoro of Port Union. Nfld., led his 65 crew mem- bers across the shifting, angry ice fields to the fishing village of Eddieis Cove on Newfoundland's isolated northwest coast.

It was believed the ice, which often roars like thunder as iti moves Liiore the wind against the needle-necked Strait of Belle Isle, crushed the "H3-ton vessel as it was attacking a herd of seals a mile offshore. '

That happened to the Newfound- land-owned Southern Cross in iilld, but the 173 crew members were lost in the rampaging ice flces.

And almost exactly 23 years ago the sealer Viking blow up, killing 23 men. News of the tragedy reached St. John's in time to halt

It was not known immediately how the Newfoundland:-r' crew would be transported home. Ed- die's Cove is in B. roadless district without communications on the mo - mile peninsula that fingers northward from the province's west coast. ,

The vessel was one of five ships which sailed from St. John's March 8 to take part in the annual seal hunt that in days gone by lured 80 times as many vessels and la,- 000 hardy restorers.

And her cargo of 7,000 seal pelts was a heavy loss consider- ing the short time she had been at

the front. Young hoods, which have:

a white streak tlirough the fur. are worth about 09 a hundred- weight.

Young harps, a blue-coated seal, are valued at 58, and bedlamers, the tough adults which aren't much good for anything except leather, net about 55.

Dwlndling oil and skin prices are the reasons for the rapid drop- off and many of the vessels that

the St. Patrick's Day parade, went out last year -didn't make which was never resumed until enough to warrant fitting out this this year. amine-

Broken Hill sits alone in baking

desert, more than 1,000 miles north- west of Sydney, nearest big city. ll is virtually a sovereign state, "Its 33,000 husky, lusty citizens are mostly employed in the lead. silver and zinc mines around which the town was built before the First World War.

They and their powerful iiiiions take little heed of the laws of the state of New South Wales in which Broken Hill is situated. And the state is wary of lHl?l'lCFllllz with what. it politely calls "the local habits and customs" of -Broken Hill.

Attempt That. Failed

Last man to make a serious at- tempt to reform Broken Hill was Police Inspector James Gilroy. Two years age he tried to stamp out gambling and make hoicl bars conform to state liceiisliig hours- which insist that bars close at 6 p. in.

He was eventually transferred. "suffering from a nervous coni- plaint." The bars. liniikcy-toiiks and gambling joints have contin- ued to thrive. And they should do a booming business forithe roial visit.

After flying from Brisbitm for the short visit in Broken Hill, the Queen and the duke will fly on t.o Adelaide, capital of South Au- Itrnlia.

Tuesday night the royal couple attended a l'P('.t3pllf1n given iii the grounds of Brisbane's Govcijnnienl House.

Before the fl'CCDllOll, the duke paid an informal call to int.-ct staff members of the Utiivcrsiiy of Queensland.

Will Noi-Ildmp Surplus Foods 0n 0lher's Markets

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. (OP)-In a ma-

jor move to resolve economic dif- ferences. Canada and the United States have agreed not to dump surplus foods into each others markets.

They agreed also to clear the way for making sterling and dollar currencies convertible by pursuing "enlightened" economic policies and pledged continuing support of such world financial and economic agencies as the international mone- tary fund and the General Agree- ment on Tarrifs and Trade. However. they made clear in a joint communique issued Wednes- day that for countries such as Bri- tain wliit-h have uncorivcrtibie cur- irencies the decision as to when and under what circumstances their currency will be unblocked will be a matter solely for the country concerned.

The communique followed the first meeting Tuesday of the Can- ada-U.s. joint economic and trade committee.

Concern Over surpluses The big issue at Tuesday's meet- ing was food surpluses. There had been concern in Canada that the US. would embark on give-away or other disposal programs that would injure overseas markets for Canadian wheat and other foods. ”The ministers reaffirmed that it is the continuing policy of their respective governments in dispos- ing of agricultural surpluses abroad to consult with interested countries and not to interfere with normal commercial marketing." the com- munique said.

"They stated Lhat it is their set- tled intention that any extraordin- ary measures that might be ad- opted to reduce surpluses should result in greater consumption and

normal quantities of agriculturar products entering into world trade."

Robert Schactzel, u.a. committee secretary, told a press conference the two countries exchanged "gen- eral reassurances that the aur- piusi-s will not be handled in such a way that they would injure the interests of the two countries."
