"1 he .)UfIIL‘gr-.\l fuel/rut) is wealrel than ill. ink" FACE tl'~_-T Grim speculations With teiisioii mounting over the Soviet threat cl freezing the West- ern allies out of Berlin, grim specu- lations are going on at Washington about the milnary implications of outer space. A number of U.S. sen- ators have or-tsught this issue out; in the open with public charges tnat Russia is out to get military con- trol of space and that it would be disastrous for the United States, and for the free world generally, to let it do so.
' Actually the United States is spending iiearly $1,500 million on a military space program, while at the same time putting $3,500 mil- lion into civilian space projects. But is this enough‘! There is no agree- ment on this point. or even on whether the space environment has great military u t i l i t y. That is, whether or not it could become a future battlefield and bring revolut- ionary changes in military affairs.
One question in dis p u te is whether space battles between man- ned and armed satellites is the way to destroy enemy spacecraft, or whether it. would not be easier and cheaper to knock down enemy satel- lites from ground antimissile bases. Senator Howard Cannon, a recog- nized authority. believes that dog- fights among spacecraft are inevit- able. But. another authority, Dr. Hugh Dryden. deputy director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. holds it is much easier and cheaper to knock down orbiting satellites from the ground via antimissilé missiles than by or- biting an astronaut to shoot them down.
men/res!
The use of spacecraft for es- pionage and counter-espionage is generally accepted as practical. The United States has its own secret
‘WE-atellite programs. and the Soviets
have orbited a number of uniden- tified spacecraft——presumably of the same character. There is also the still little-known field of light rays that may be possible to harness and open up a vast new field of weaponry for space use.
These are some of the problems that are occupying militaryminds in this year of grace 1962. The horrible --.thing about it is that they are not mad pipedrcams. that the prospects they hold out could become cold realities in the not too distant future. The military implications “of outer space have been known for
years. but. it is only with the con-
.-1:inuing conquest of space that the urgency of doing something about " them has become apparent.
Ideal Roosls
Television antennae have come
to nerve one purpose very different ""-‘from anything intended; they have become ideal roosts for birds. In this respect they have followed an- “other great scientific invention- ‘ the telephone wire. For many years , now one of the sure signs of autumn has been the gathering of birds in rows along the telephone lines. Now the television antennae have been
“jdiacovered by the birds, and very ‘ '7u_lieful they are‘ proving.
The antennae have many ad-
vantages. Being high up on mof- -

he gets mad at ii program and smashes the equipment altogether- the birds won't care a chirp.
In winter the antennae are less used for roosting purposes. as most birds are gone. and the sparrows are not fond of television. But come early spring and they will be visit- ed again, perhaps by feathered guests who return and recognize
their rooftops from the shape that v
the antennae take.
Whether the birds ever specu- late on the origin of these queer metal branches we don't profess to know. But aren't we all living in a. world of marvels we don’t under- stand, that we take for granted and adapt to our own use without giving thought as to their why and where- fort-? A philosopher. now and then, has been flabbergasted at the mys- tery of a grain of sand; but we for the most part take whole contin- ents in our stride-—destroying their forests, polluting their s t ream s, pillaging them of their wild life, harnessing them and bulldozing into them to build our skyscrapers and bomb shelters—-without a care but for our own advantage and conven- iencc. All of us, like the birds, look- ing for the best most. They at least take things as they come. and leave them in as good condition as they found them’
The New Speaker
Prime Minister Diefenbaker has announced that he will nominate Mr. Marcel Lambert, bilingual Rhodes scholar lawyer and Dieppe war veteran, as Speaker of the Commons when Parliament meets on Sept. 17. Meanwhile, however, Mr. Speaker Mitchener—-who did not win re-electioii and will not be a member of the new Parliament—- retains his position and the $23,000- a-year salary that goes with it. This is because, under the House of Commons Act. the person who fills the office of Speaker shall be deemed to retain that office until asuccessoi‘ is duly chosen.
This. notes the Ottawa Journal, is part of the system developed during the troubled centuries to en- sure that the Crown is never left without a government to advise it: and officials to perform essential tasks.
There was general regret at the defeat of Mr. Mitchener in the Tor- onto St. Paul's constituency. He had performed his duties with except- ional ability and fairness, and there was some talk of putting his ap- pointment on a more or less per- manent basis. However, no man is indispensable and Mr. Lambert, who has been parliamentary secretary to the revenue minis-try since 1957, may prove an equally good choice if elected.
His nomination by the Govern- ment usually iiisures a Speaker's election. and in this case Mr. Lam- bert's background will carry on the tradition of alternating between MPs of English and French origin.
It will be no bed of roses in which the new Speaker will find himself when Parliament meets. The setup will be different from the old Parliament, where the Gov- ernment had an overwhelming maj- ority, and there will be lots of fire- works to be kept under control. Whoever gets Mr. 'Mitchener’s job on this occasion will need all the tact. firmness and gumption he can bring to bear on his duties. '

Since its beginning in 1944 the World Bank (the International Bank for Reconstruction and De- velopment. a specialized agency of the United Nations) has loaned about $6.5 billion to some 60 coun- tries and territories. It had its bus- iest. year during the period ending June 30 last. when its volume of loans rose to $882 million. Most of this money went for power projects, heavy industrial and transportation development in 19 countries. One exception was a loan to Iceland for further development of the natural hot water resources used for heat- ing in Reyjavik. the capital. Also, last year, five more countries joined the bank. bringing the total to 75.

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson-
The New Mood In Quebec Province
Death saved Quebec‘s long- time premier. Maurice Duples- sis. from the electoral avalanche which quickly shattered his powerful Union National party. - This is the inevitable conclu- sion from many talks with friendly and politically-mature French-Canadians during a 1.200 mile tour of rural areas of La Belle Province.
Things are changing very sig- nificantly in that part of Can- ada where time long stood still. The paternalism and patronage of Le Grand Chef — as h‘ ad- mirers called M. Duplcssis —
suddenly became outmoded. Inf
their place, Quebec wants those ideas which swept its mother- land in the revolution 175 years ago: Liberty, Equality and Fra- ternitv.
Strangely enough. although Quebec turned away from the conservative government the Union National, it has not found what it sought among the often ultra-socialist policies of Liberal premier Jean Lesage. Hence. one might deduce. the recent surprise triumph of So- cial Credit candldates in Que- bec.

The latest Soviet move in the Berlin situation. getting hotter by the hour. points to an at- tempt to tighten diplomatic screws and head the crisis to- ward some sort of climactic showdown.
The Soviet government and defence ministry have an- nounced formally the abolition of the Russian commandant‘: office in Berlin. The tactics can be taken as a warning of new pressures to come.
In effect. this brings the in- ternational quarrel over Berlin back to where it was in 1948, when Stalin blockaded the city in an attempt to drive out the Western Allies. A massive air- lift broke the blockade. I , But things are more danger-
ous now. The Soviet Union‘:
achievements in space and roc- gketry indicate it is using its l military potential as a weapon
to frighten the world into sup-
porting demands for a quick , settlement.
i SAME AS IN 1948 The Russians are insisting -‘ ,5 that the West no longeflhas any [ legal right to retain occupation ‘ troops In West Berlin. They said the same thing In 1948 be- fore clamplng down the block- ade. They claimed then that the West surrendered its right: when it‘ set up a separate-lid ministration in West Germany. When Moscow ended the blockade in May. 1949, the So- viet Union consented in effect to the continued Allied military

-. Heart Attacks ' I
By Dr. Theodore R; Van Delleu
NO ONE looks forward to heart attack but the emergency is not always as bad as we have been led to believe. c- : survive ‘and the majority do not become invulids. They retuni to their former occupa- tion. For man the warning leads to a new and more desir- able existence. ' '
Someone asked a ll) year old to what he attributed his longe- vlty. He gave credit to his abil- o say “no." He told of hav-
th i-equir a g philosophy of life. His first pru- mlae to was to - as “no"wheuever he did not want to do something. The plan paid dividends because his days be- came less botrorsome and more enjoyable and relaxing.
Victims of coronary thrombo- sls have the same opportunity.
There is no better excuse than 1
“I've had a heart attack", fo r not assuming additional duties. omiiig a member of this or that ctimmlttee. or giving a talk before some stuffy organi- t ii. is an acceptable rea- son for going home from p a r- ties at an early hour or walking out of a dull meeting. No one is offended and the individual sa- ves himself considerable wear and tear. But there is no reason w h y
members of the coronary club ,
must go beyond this. Statistics show that those who continue to work live longer than those re- signed to the rocking chair. Do something. so long as it does not rin on shortness of breath. coughing. or chest pain.
It is natural at first to be-
come apprenhensive about ex- ,
ertion. At the end of six weeks after the attack the involved urea in the wall of the h e a rt has healed. There is no need to resort to a state of lnvalidism after three months has elapsed.
Hindsight always is better than foresight but it is a pity more ‘of us do not enjoy 0 u r- selves and learn to say "u before rather than after a heart
ttack.
