Army Engineers . Claim Pushbuiiii Explosion Was Probable Cause Of Bridge Collapse

THREE RIVERS, Que, Sept. 13 .iCP)- An explosion probably caused the collapse of the Duples- ils Bridge. two Canadian army engineering experts said today.

They told a two-man commis- lion investigating the collapse that strands of wire found around a section of a steel girder were prob- ably used to set off an explosion that caused the tragedy.

The 03,500,000 span across the St. Maurice River collapsed Jan. 31 causing four deaths. A fifth man was drowned when the true. lor he was using in an attempt to salvage a submerged automobile crashed through the ice.

Major-General H. Kennedy, Federal government engineering consultant, and Brig. D. K. Black said they believed some "external 'orce" was LESDOIISIIJIC for the col- lapse.

Major-General Kennedy said he esiimated that 25 pounds of high explosives were used in the ex- plosion. Brigadier Black said he rnnsldered that 10 pounds would have been sufficient to cause the crack in the steel girder.

Both. stated that no better spot could have been picked for the placing of the charge than where ii was placed near pillar No.2. The spot was easily accessible for such an act. they added.

The statements of the army nirlcials today supported theories put forward by Pemier Duplessis and a Dominion Bridge Company engineer that the bridge failure was due to sabotage.

Robert Eadie. Dominion Bridge Company engineer in testimony before the commission last week. suggested that burns on a section of is steel girder might hgvg been mused by explosives. The hearing is continuing.

BIIGRADE. Yugoslavia. Sept. 13 -(AP)-Premier Marshal Tito is harvesting a new cl-op”of worries this fall in the form oi sharply- inereued border hostility. frontier shootings and spy activities by his pro-Russian neighbors.

In the last seven months there have been H7 border incidents along Yugoslsvlrs frontiers with Albania, Bulgaria. Romania and Hungary.

The increased tempo of the com- in.form's border pressure has rais- ed the question: Do Russia and her puppet states mesa business this time? Are the new incidents s prelude to invasion?

Yugoslavia and the cominforrn countries appeared only a short step from actual war II they gath- ered in late fall crops-bringing to mind the old Balkan adage that "wars begin when crops are in."

Trade between Yugoslavia and her eastern neighbors ended com- plehly more than 1 1-2 years ago.

Diplomatic relations have been reduced to exchanges of insults, accusations and formal notes pro- testing various incidents. These

Warfare ls Slep Nearer

By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON. Sept. 13 - (AP)

is forming a combat unit to use guided missiles, and President Tru- man said this involved one cf the deadly new weapons he has de- scribed as "fantastic in their oper- ation." The air force report amounted to announcement that it has reached the threshold of push-button war- fare on the battlefield. The mis- siles may be able to carry atomic charges for blasting troops and fortifications in front-line areas. Truman later in the day told a press conference questioner that the announcement involved the new weapons he hinted at in a speech Sept. 4 at San Francisco.

Plloiless Bomber

Out of a sparsely-worded an- nouncement and an official pho- tograph of the weapon in horiz- ontal.flight. these points emerged:

1. The weapon. now in pro- duction at the Glenn 1... Mar- tin Company airplane plant in Baltimore. Md., is designated as the "Matador," B-61. "pilot- less bomber."

2. The "in piiotless bomber squadron (light" will be org- anizcd at the big U.S.A.F. mis- sile test centre, Cocoa. Fla.. Oct. 1.

Ii. The mimile is about the size oi a smallish fighter plane. But compact-size atomic bombs have been developed for use in smaller aircraft.

4. Because it is equipped with radar and radio controls for guidance it also presumably can be expfmeffif the air over a target as well as detonated byt actual impact with the tar- ge .

Only Small Cut

The air force announcement did not say how fast, far or high the ”Matador" would fly. However. there were these facts to be con- sldered:'Only a little more than 300 feet long. its fuselage and stubby. swept-back. knife-thing wings left little apparent room for fucl load when space was allowed for the bomb load and the intric- die control mechanism. Therefore. its range would seem limited. But long range is not needed for bat- tlefront war. It would be an easy target for present interceptor, man- controlled jet interceptor fighters unless it had greater speed.

The highest known speed of a

jet fighter is that of the navy's Douglas "Skyrocket." reported to be 1.000 miles an hour in a climb So it probably files faster than that. ' An sir force spokesman said that the B-61, despite its designation as a "pilotless bomber.” is not an- other conversion of a standard manned airplane but is actually a guided missile, with no provision for a pilot.

FRANKFURT. Sept. 13 -(CP)- The Western Allies have forbidden further flights across West Ger- many by the government air line Communist Czechoslovakia. which is at odds with them over the Oatis case and other issues. The air ban went into effect at midnight Tuesday. it was confirm- ed today. Czech planes mustmake long deiours over the Soviet oc- cupation zone to the Baltic if they attempt to continue flying to Western capitals such as Brussels and Amsterdam.

United states, British and French high commissioners in- formed the Czech military mission in Berlin in a brief note Monday that they had suspended Czech flight privileges "until further notice."

They gave no explanation but the action is known to be one of several punitive measures the U. S. Government has drafted as a

Speculale Reds Plan Drive On Full Mooiillale

By JOHN RANDOLPH

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 14 - (Friday) .4 (AP) -- Fierce fight- ing raged on Eastern Korean hill tops Thursday while at least 250.- 000 tank-supported Communist troops were reported massed along the western battle front for a pos- sible "full moon" drive toward Seoul.

AP war correspondent Stair Car- ter reported there was some spec- ulation among Eighth Army of- ficers that the Red offensive in the west - if it develops at all -- may come this next week-end when the moon is full.

Some Doubt Drive

However. other sources still were inclined to doubt that the Com- munists plan an immediate at- tcck. These officers pointed out there is no indication that Com- munist troops have received full assault rations and equipment for an offensive.

In the central sector near Kum- hwa. Allied forces took a new mountain top and seven surround- lng ridges in a three-hour fight. Red resistance there showed it sud- den decrcase after five days of pounding.

The air war over North Korea provided its fifth straight day of action.

Three Russian-built Mlg jets jumped a flight of raiding F-51 propeller-driver Mustang fighter- bombers. One Mustang was shot down.

Later about 6-1 Migs declined battle with 30 American F-84 Sabre

ts.

The score for five days of fight- ing stood at two Migs destroyed or probably destroyed and six dam- aged against American losses of one F-84 thunderjet and one Mus- tang.

Make Combat History

Ten giant I-I-19 Sikorskl hell- copters made combat history on the eastern front Thursday. The huge "choppers" were used to land 15,000 pounds of battle sunnlles al- most at the front lines. The cop- ters carried out wounded. American officers said it would have taken 1.000 Korean laborers 10 hours of tortuous climbing to have sccom " b 4 the same mis- slon.

Another Dozen Deer Ileleased In Province

The popularity of the two deer brought here last year has gre- sulted in the Government bring- ing 12 more to this Province. They were released recently in the neighborhood of Bunbury and three immediately departed for places as yet unknown.

However, the other nine re- mained in the vicinity and last night two of them were taken to the Trades and Industry Fair wliero they were greatly admired.

The otliier seven young deer were part of a real human in- terest picture yesterday evening. In a field near the home of Pre- mier J. Walter Jones they were gathered in a friendly group around a little girl. She was tiny Dale Devwar. a polio victim who was completely happy in the faith and trust the four-fooicd strangers to the Island had in her. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Lincoln Dewar, New Perth. and a giranddaiighier of Premier and Mrs. J. Walter Jones, was thoroughly at home with her new-found fricnds.

Peiping Give; Terms for Truce Talks Renews

TOKYO. Sept. 14 - (Friday) - (AP) A Pclping broadcast Thursday night said the Korean cease-fire talks "could start again immediately” and agreement could be quickly reached - if the Un- lied Nations would take the blame for all the neutrality violations the Reds have charged.

There was no immediate re- sponse from Gen. Matthew B. Ridgwsyis headquarters. But the Communist price appeared too high for the Allied commander to accept.

The Red offer was not made on an official level. It came during a Peiping broadcast of a dispatch quoting a Communist correspond- ent in xsesong. However. the rig- idly-controlled propaganda line of Red correspondents frequently has reflected official Red thinking.

Ships Willi- Vilal Cargoes Are Diverled

LONDON, Sept. 13-(AP)-Brb tain tightened her economic squeeze on Iran tonight by div- erting cargoes of "certain scarce materials" already en route to the troubled land of oil.

British ships headed for Iran were ordered to drop their car- goes in more co-operative coun- tries.

It was an open move to hasten the downfall of Mohammed Moss- adegh. Iranian Premier who push- ed his parliament to strip Brit- ons of oil concessions they had operated for 50 years.

A Board of Trade spokesman said the order to divert British shipping was in line with the governmeni.'s decision -to cancel the financial and trade benefits it previously gave Iran in return for oil.

Breakdown of the negotiations in which Briiain had hoped 'to salvage some measure of control over now-nationalized Iranian oil set off the British economic squeeze last Monday.

Britain told Iran it no longer could have any of the goods Bri- tain lisis as scarce. It also cut off Iran's supply of dollars.

Growing Opposition

TEI-IRAN. Iran, Sept. 13 -(AP) '-A pro-western Iranian politican today emerged from retirement to lead growing opposition to Nation- alistic Premier Mohammcd Mos- sadegh and his anti-British oil policy.

He is Seyid Zia Ed-Din Tab- atabaie, 62. who served as premier for three months after leading a coup d'etat 30 years ago. lie launched his fight to depose Mos- sadegh by reopening headquarters of his Eradeye Melli (National Will) Party. dormant six years.

In a speech. Seyid Zia accused Mossadegh government leaders of following 8. creed "of instigating and cncouraczing the killing of their political opponents." He promised free speech. more equit- able taxation and land reform.

On the subject of oil national- ization he parrled newspaper men's questions. saying merely "oil has been nationalized-nothing can be done without parliamentary sp- proval." ,

British spokesmen here feel that Seyid Zia. while not planning to cancel the popular nationalization law. would adopt a more moderate policy. They feel he might agree to British management of the oil fields and resumption of operat- ions which have been at a stand- still for 2 1-2 months.

Scyid zia's chances of becoming premier are debatable, but are improving as the economic crisis bccomes more acute
