LONDON (Reuters)-The Brit- lsh scientific world Thursday was excited over a frank lecture by a top Russian physlclstg before 300 experts at Britain's atomic re- search centre at Harwell.

Dr. Ivan Kurchatov told an amazed audience on Wednesday that Soviet servants had produced temperatures of 1,000,000 degrees centigrade-about one-sixth as hot as the sun.

This is the temperature at which fusion of hydrogen atoms - the principle of the hydrogen bomb might be expected to take place. So far as is known. Western scien- tists have not yet been able to devise means of controlling fusion reactions. with the resulting stu- pendous release of-epergy.

If the Russians? c is” true. then the world is" on threshold of a revolution in the eld of in-

Fate Oi Ont. Form Marketing

Plans Rests Wit

OTTAWA (CPl-The fate of On- tario's network of taming mar- keting schemes, and perhaps those in other provinces. now rests with eight Supreme Court of Canada justices.

Ending three days of hearings. the court Thursday reserved judg- ment on the vital issue of whether charges levied by provincial mar- keting boards are genuine licence fees or indirect taxes.

If it rules they are indirect taxes. the compulsory element of the marketing schemes, framed to stabilize farm markets, may col- lapse, for only the federal parlia- ment has power to levy such taxes. Thousands of farmers would be af- fected.

l1 Court Now

Perhaps keeping a step ahead of the court. Ontlrlo g i already has nqnired whether the federal Parliament can constitu- tionally delegate indirect taxing powers to provincial bodies.

F. P. Varcoe. federal deputy justice minister. disclosed this dur- ing final phases of the court hear- ings. He said the province wanted this added to the questions before the court. It may form the basis of a further reference to the court at a later date.

In the current issue, the federal government joined the provinces to argue in support of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act. under which the various producer boards function.
