Huge Weapons Program 3 Announced By HeIIyer

By DAVE McINTOSH

OTTAWA tCPl—Detalls of a 1965-70 procurement program for 51.455.000.000 worth of con- ventional defence equipment. much of l‘t foreign-designed or built. were announced Tuesday by Defence Minister Heilyer.

He said at a press conference there is no intention of using

any of the new weapons as nu- -

clear delivery systems though some of them are capable of. carrying nuclear warheads.

e also said, however. he doesn't foresee the end of the RCAF‘s nuclear bombing role in Europe with 200 CF-104 low- level jet bombers by 1970 at the earliest.

Opp0sition Leader Diefen- baker told reporters Mr. Hell- yer‘s statements represented a retreat on the question of nu- clear weapons and on promises in the 1962 and 1963 election campaigns to reduce defence expenditures substantially. Sav- ings in doing away with reserve units and the like were mean- ingless in the face of "vastly increased” costs now to be un- dertaken.

The major made-in‘~(1anada weapons programs are six war- ships—four helicopter - carry- ing destroyers and two fleet support ships — costing about $170,000,000 and 15 de Havilland Buffalo transport planes whose estimated cost Mr. Hellyer. said he couldn't supply at this time.

construction of the ships will begin about mid-1966. TO BUY ‘COPTERS
