BRITAIN?S FIRST ATOMIC BOMB VAPORIZED WARSHIP

Canada's New Consumer Price Index Unveiled

Nato Powers Have New

Anti - Submarine Devices But Are Short Of Ships .

OTTAWA. Oct. 23 D(CP) -- Brltaln's First sea Lord said today the Western Powers have devices capable of coping with the latest submarines but a shortage of fight- lng ships to use them;

Talking about the sortuof sea war that could be anticipated in any armed conflict with Russia, Admiral Sir Rhoderick Mcclrlgor told a press conference that-if it cams--it would be ushered in by intensive submarine and mine- sweeping operations.

It happens. he added. that the worst naval shortages among the Atlantic Pact powers are in antl- submarine escort vessels and mlnaswsepers. types that would be most needed.

(Canada has ordered 14 new- type anti-sub escort vessels, and as many new mlnesweepers but ...oductio . has been delayed. None of them yet is in service.)

A reporter asked'Slr Rhodcrick. here for talks with Canadian de- fence leaders. whether the West has kept pace with the spectacular schnorkel submarines initiated by the Germans and now in Russian

"1 can fairly say we have made very great progress in antl-sub- marine developm .ts--in hunting. locating and destroying them." he replied.

Russia didn't have 800 submar- ines-a figure suggested by a re- porter-but she had "a colousl

She also had heavy cruisers and a. number of old battleships.

Sir Rhoderlck indicated there would be major efforts to battle the Russian submarines in the Bal- tic and Black seas but said some of those in the Arctic would un- doubtedly head into the Atlantic.

He said Britain is considering the possibilities of the, atomic sub- marine-the United states is build- ing them-and parried questions about the possibility of a United Nations blockade of the Chinese coast.

Living C7515 During August Show Increase

OTTAWA. Oct. 23-(CP)-Cam sds's consumer price index was unveiled today. It showed that living costs during August went up and not down as conveyed by the old cost-of-living yardstick.

The new measuring rod. based on 1949 prices equalling 100, in- creased by one-tenth of a point to 116.1 from 116.0. The old index. ncw superseded. estimated a drop of 1.1 points, to 186.5 from 187.6. In the new index, the food sub- group went up; in the old one, it went down.

The Bureau of Statistics said the new index is the most com- prehensive the Bureau has ,de- veloped. It is more accurate than the old cost-of-living index and and a better judge of the actual trend in living costs reflected by price changes.

There was another big Eontrast between the old and the new-a difference of '70 points. This might appear that living costs had slumped. However, Bureau offi- cials said they had increased slightly.-

Paradox Explained

The paradox was explained by Herbert Marshall. Dominion statis- tician, and L. E. Rowebottom, Bur- eau of Statistics prices chief, at a press conference in the Parlia- mentary Press Gallery.

Convicted of Wife's Death" 1 i

BALTIMORE. Oct. as -(AP) -- Clecrgs Edward Grammar today was convicted of first degres mur- der in the slaying of his wife. an almost perfect crime that looked at first like an utomobile accident.

The verdict carries a. sentence of death by hanging or life im- prisonment for the 35-year-old New York office manager. accused of killing his wife so he could marry a. pretty 28-year-old Canad- ian secretary who worked at Univ,- ed National headquarters.

Circuit Judge Herman M. Moses, who heard the case and decid d on the verdict without a jury at Grammer's request. did not fix the exact sentence immediately.

Crammer may plead to Haiti- more's circuit court judges for a new trial or ask the court of ap- peals at Annapolis to find some- thing wrong in the nine-day trial and overrule the verdict. An ap-

peal is almost automstic in Mary- land in capital-punishment cues.

Men who flew a. four-engined United states navy plane into the Caribbean hurricane today said it contained the most violent rain- fall they had ever encountered.

"The rainfall was so violent we couldn't see the eye of the atom at all on radar until we got inside it." said Licut. Wilfred Moehlc.

"To give you an idea of how violent it was. the rain washed all the paint off the leading edges of the plane's wings and tail."

Money Bet In Solid South

some points in between.

For Dixie. this is a political year without parallel. The southland has been wooed ardently, in- per- son. for the iii-st'tlme, by both presidential candidates.

In return, Southerners are car- rying on s. heavy flirtation with Republican nominee Eisenhower, and probably will reward him with the biggest outpouring of votes ever accorded the Republicans below the Mason and Dixon Linc.

At this point it is by no means aura that llzisenhowcr can take a ainkla southern state. But if the election were held today newc- papermen from the area think he would have just about a so-so chance at Texas. Louisiana and Florida and their 44 electoral votes. Those three states are rated a toss-up.

The, electoral votes are the things that count in electing a president. Each state has s'num- bsr of electoral votes equal to the total of congressmen it sends to Washington. It takes see to elect I. president. The candidate who wins the popular vote in that stats-even by the narrowest mar- gin - wins all that state's elec- toral votes. .

Irade Officials Claim Cuba Noi Dumping iugar

OTTAVVA. Oct. 23-(CP)--Trade officials said today they are sym- pathetic with a problem develop- ing in the sale of Canadian sugar but they do not agree that Cuba, one of the world's big producers. is "dumping" refined sugar on the Canadian market.

Officials of the sugar beet in- dustry from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec met with Trade Minister Howe and other officials yesterday asking that im- parts from Cuba be restricted.

spokesmen for the processors and growers complained that Cuba was dumping the sugar- selling it at prices lower than in the home market-and thus for- cing down the Canadian price.

Trade officials said they knew of no dumping, and-attributed .1 decline in Canadian prices to a growing world sugar surplus.

The Federal Government has an ngrccment with Cuba. to pro- vidc in market in Canada of at least 75,000 tons of raw Cuban sugar each year fof n Ihrl.-e-year period. The agreement expires at the end of 1953.

Churchillbives Details To

By Tom Ochiltres , LONDON. Oct. 28 -(AP)- Britain's first atomic bomb vapor- ized a warship that housed it threw up a high tidal wave an sent out a blast of heat near 1,000 000 degrees in its Monte Brello ls-I lands lest. Prime Minister Chur- chill disclosed today. 1 He told the House of Commons British scientists know the way leads to even more deadly wea-I

ons.

"Scientific observations and measurements show that the wee- pon does not contradict the ua-. tural expectation that progress ini this sphere would be continual," the Prime Minister said in the first official statement on the

1

land group of Northwest Australia. Oct. 3.

Exactly As Planned

The test, designed to show the effects of an atomic explosion in a" harbor. wmt off "exactly as plan- ned," he said.

He described the weapon as a bomb-the first time this has been so stated officially. Subsequently the Air ministry said Britain has started to make aircraft to carry

a-bombs.

Churchill's statement in the Commons was paralleled by a similar announcement in the

House of Lords by Vincent Swin- ton.

The Prime Minister said the bomb was placed in the Royal Navy frigatet Plym, a Second World War craft 301 feet long and of 1.4.50 tons displacement.

”Thosands of tons of water and mud and rock rom the sea bottom were thrown many thousands of feet into the air and a high tidal wave was caused." Churchill said.

Effects Over Wide Area

"The effects of. blast and radio-. active "t':o'ntaiiiinetiorf extended overs wide area. and H. M S. Plym was vaporized except for some red-hot fragments which were scattered over one of the is- lands and started fires in the dry vegetation.

Throughout Second World War Britain, Canada and the United States worked together an atomic research. This international co- operation ended in 1948 when the U. 3. Congress adopted the Me- Mahon Act. prohibiting the pass- ing on of American atomic infor- mation to any foreign power.

Churchill would like the old re- lationship resumed.
