Wr. Macleaii

Continued from page i most commendable. but I think that at the same time we might easily fall into the danger of be- ing penny wise and pound foolish. After all, why should one Deputy Minister be considered capable of supervising carefully, expendi- tures representing half our na- tional budget, when it takes per- haps twenty other deputy minis- ters to look after the remainder? Cioar Line Drawn

"I think this is a case where money could be saved by the ap- pointment of another deputy min- later. In any case, I think it should be very impctrtaht to have a clear line drawn between the responsibilities of the Minister of Defence and those of the As-

sociate Minister of Defence or whatever you may wish to call him"

As far as defence of the North American Continent and particu- larly the defence of Canada against aggression is concerned. Mr. MacLean said, it will primar- ily be a matter of air defence with responsibility testing to a great degree on the air force.

To have two Ministers of Na- tional Defence as the Government proposes, Mr. MacLean contended. is like having one body with two heads.

"You are going to create a sort of two-headed hydra," he con- cluded. "I think we should be very careful before we put such a two-headed hydra on the pay- roll.”

Mr. Whiteway has not only completed his con- tract, but has also completed many extras asked of him by the com- mittee outside his regular con- tract.

These he did graciously and gen- erously and throughout his whole contract has given his best in erecting the finest building with the best materials. and his many timely and useful suggestions have nddcd greatly to the usefulness of the now school.

The school. which is ill feet by 54 feet. is of a six classroom de- sign. in the centre of the build- ing is a T-corridor. On the top of the T are two classrooms and on each side of the stem are also two classrooms. The average size of each classroom is approximate- ly 30 fact by 22 fret, each room containing coat fucker, teacher's

Eisenhower (Continued from Page ii

tary Dulles had assured nervous French officials the United States would not support any "reckless actions" by Chiang.

Eisenhower said nothing of res- cinding the second part of the Truman Formosan policy, under which the U. S. fleet guards For.- mpsa from the Red mainland. Truman's policy. adopted before the Chinese Reds entered the Korean war, was designed to pre- vent an cxpansion of the fighting in the Far East.

No Secret Deals Thunderoua applause, largely from Republicans, greeted Eisen-

hower when he said he intends to ask Congress to adopt a resolution making it clear the U. S. govern- ment will not be bound by any secret deals nhich, he said, per- mitted ensiavemcnt.

Eisenhower did not explain what understandings he had in mind. Members of Congress took it he was drawing a bend on concessions made to me soviet Union at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences.

Republicans long have criticized the Yalta conference, in which the late president Franklin Roosevelt participated, as having led to Rus- sia's postition of power in the Far East and in former Nazi satililte states. The pact included promisu to hold ”free elections" in Eastern European countries which were overrun first by Hitler and then by the Russians. Communist. gov- ernments were set up instead.

Yalta also recognized Russian territorial gains in eastern Poland. and promised Poland it would get compensating lands from eastern Germany. To induce Russia. to enter the war against Japan Pres- ident 'Roosevelt and Prime Minis- ter Churchill agreed to let Russia take over all of Sakhalin island and the Kurile islands which lie north of Japan.

At the Potsdam conference, at- tended by Truman. modifications were made in the Yaltn pact and the immediate post-war fate of Germany was agreed upon.

No Sign or Wreckage

The search plane. an R.C.A.F. Lancaster, reported: "No sign of survivors or wreckage. Heavy seas and rain over the area"

The 5-644-ton British freighter Woodford, which also arrived at the spot, reported to the trans- port department in St. John's. Nflci.. that it found nothing. It continued the search.

The York. peacetime version of the famed Lancaster bomber. was flying from the Azores to Jamaica, with scheduled stops at, Gander zmd Bermuda. British servicemen, their wives and 13 children were aboard.

Search and rescue officials would not speculate on chances of sur- vival in the icy, gale-whipped seas. But one officer, speaking last week about the two civilians miss. mg off Greenland, said: "Exposure to the icy seas and temperatures would take them if the crash didn't." ' ' g

The York was last reported about 1:35 am. AST, when the trans Atlantic communication centre at Gander picked up an SOS. At. that time the plane had completed about three-quarters of its flight from the Azores. It gave no indication of its trouble.
