Russia Asks-Bail 0n Atomic Bombs

LAKE SUCCESS. Jan. 29 -(AP) ~M1dre1 A. Gmnvku of Russia. in- sisted today that atomic bombs must be banned and destroyed im- mcdiately.

But he would not pledge the Sov- iet Government to agree to a con- trol system after trhifi had been done. He said controls must be wwrked out after the atomic weapons were prohibited. The ban was tlhe urgent first step to inter- national control.

This would mean, that iihe Unit- ed States. the only country known to possess atom bombs. would de- stroy the stockpile and then begin talking about preventing the mak- ing of atolmic weapons. The United States had rejected this plan.

OTTAWA. Jan. 20-(CP)—W‘ln- ter employment is looking up in Canada. and the job prospects for 1948 are "bright", Labor Minister Mitchell reported today in his De- partment's monthly manpower survey.

The seasonal winter drop in em- ployment has not been as aeve.e as a. year ago, Mr. Mitchell said. Jobless registered with National Employment Service are down l0 per cent from the same time last YQBI‘.

“Although the number of win- ter unemployed has increased dur- ing the last month," the Minister said, “the pressure for production continues high in many inclustrhs and operations have pushed ahead in spite cf seasonal handicaps."

For the year as n whole, lie added, "the outlook in the em- plcyment field is bright, and the prospects are that jobs available

will outnumber applicants in the‘

summer of this year in several lines, just as was the case at the

middle of 1947." At that time. there was a. shortage of 33,000 workers. .

"Both skilled tradesmen and

materials are likely to be in some- what better supply this year so that further expansion of industry should be possible," the report added. "Plans in construction and mining particularly indicate an in- crease in the levels of employment in these lines above 1947, ivlilie demands for seasonal workers in agriculture and transportation

"Every kind of truck and ca: was used to take the patients to safety," said one, William Evans. ,"All the valuable hospital equipment was iust tossed cut into the snow. The boys on our truck pitched in and helped carry out the women and babies. I'm pretty sure not. mu patient was binned."

Reforestation Plans Now Well Under Way At Southport Nursery

Island highways will, within the next few years, constitute vistas of pastoral beauty unequalled by any other Province in the Lxuiinion, Mr. R. Snazclle. supervisor of tile reforestation branch, Pirovincial Department of Rccmstruction, told a. Guardian representative yea- terday.

This scenic improvement will be made possible, Mr. Snazelle said, because of the Provincial Govern- mom's reforestation policy which has new passed beyond the experi- mental stage to a point where success is assured.

Mr. Snazelle said that. over 50,000 young trees are thriving in the Government's three-acre nursery at Southport. Of those, 18.000 are red pine seedlings; 9,000, Austrian pine; 7.500, red cedar; 4,400, rock maple; 3,600. white ash; 8,000, green ash; 2.000. eltn; 1,200, Scotch pine; and 1,000 are Island oak.

The oak. maple, and elm seedlings will be re-transplarited in the Spring at further distances to en- sure their vigorous growth before being removed to their permanent homes along the various highways. Mr. Snazelle said there is plenty of rozm at the ‘ Southport nursery grounds to allow for the second transplanting of those young trees. The planting of the Island oaks was irnade possible, he said. through the interest in the project of Mr. flank Miller of East Royalty and Mr. Edward Gcugh of Cardigam. Mr. Miller supplied 750 of the oak seedlings and Mr; Gong-h the rc- mainder.

Sturdy Seedlings

The mortality rate among the 50.- 000 seedlings has been insignificant, Mr. Snazelle said, with tlhe except- ion of the red pine. Those were damaged en route frcm Ontario and the lcss in that Species hi5 IP- prcxlmated 30 per cent. The seed- llngs were imported from Western Ontario and it is thou!“ the T°°t5 becrvrie overheated in transit. Ari- other supply of red pine seedlings will be brought to the nursery in

Would B; Too Small If New War Started

3? JAMES J. EIREBIG

WASHINGTON. Jln. 29-—(AP)_ Air Force Secretary Symington believes that the United States ranks behind Russia and Britain in air power.

He fears that a United States Air Force of the presently-planned size would be wiped cut early in any new air war. unless it got. huge reinforcements fast.

Syrnington expressed his views in an article written for American Magazine. in which he gave this formula for the security of the United States:

"An imprexnable air curtain-a. curtain sufficiently strong so that no fleet of hostile planes or waves of guided missiles can reach the mainland of this country."

"No longer are we the leading air power of the world.” Siyming- ton said. "In quantity, we have slipped behind the Soviet Union. and qualitatively. both Russia and England have numerous develop- ments that exceed our own efforts. England, despite her severe econ- omic strain as a result cf the war. is devoting a greater portion of her defence budget io an Air Force than we are."

l-le repeated previously printed reports that. ‘Russia is building planes at a rate of 15.000 to 100.- 000 a year, and is turning cut. copies of the 13-29 Superfortress "in fairly sizeable numbers."

Symingtcn said the 70-group Air Force now planned would be "strictly a one-shot proposition." Without tremendous. quick re- Jaceme themflgured it too little for tum Jobs:

"l. To support our own in- dslstries.

"2. To support the evacu- atlon, if possible. of our piti- fully outnumbered occupation troops in Europe.

"3. T0 launch and sustain a full-scale air offensive and destroy the enemy's industry and economy with atomic bombs and the latestweapons."

Symlngton said thus the United States must have a 70-group Air Force. backed by an industry able to expand that farce with “extru- ordinary ranldity to at least. lab groups and...perhaps as high as 350 groups if the war should last. three years.”

He said the air force would have to spend 08.100.000.000 annu- ally for a ‘IO-group force.

(The President's Air Policy Com- mission has accepted the air force's long-standing recommendation of a ‘IO-group force but put. the cost. at 04.329.000.000 for this calendar year and 04.599.000.000 for 1049.)
