Nova Scotian Ma y, Lead Opposition To Dosco Sale
HANTSPORT. N.S. (CP) - A farmboy who quit school at 18 and ranks now as one of Can- sda's leading financiers may lead a bitter battle to prevent sale of the giant Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation to British - conrolled A.V. Roe (Canada) Ltd.
stocky. plain-spoken R. A. Jod- rey said Wednesday in an inter-
view "damn few" of the 14 Doscn'
directors voted to sell the wide- spread industrial complex during a Montreal meeting last week at which an Avro proposal to buy was discussed.
"There were two directors who weren't there," he said. "Some voted in la vo r. some voted against it and some abstained. There were damn few who voted in favor of the sale."
Mr. Jodrey touched off the in- ternal wrangle Tuesday night with a statement reflecting his in- tense belief that the Maritlmea can prosper and progress if backed by men with resources and energy.
He said he wants to see control of Dosco retained by interests concerned with using raw matu- lals produced in the Atlantic prov- inces. He also foresaw "grave danger" that Dosco production may becom concentrated in On- tario and Quebec. rather than in the Atlantic area where Dosco is an important phase of the econ- omy.
Dosco President C. B. Lang and Avro officials declined comment on Mr. Jodrey's statement.
GREAT LOVE
The 66 - year - old industrialist whose love for Nova Ieotia is see- only to his devotion to his native Anna Valley. said:
"1 it's a terrible thing b see our great industries going out of the country."
Mr. Jodrey is believed to have prevented Central Canada inter- ests from obtaining sometime age the brand name and patents of Moir's Ltd. here. one of the na- tion's largest eonfectionars and bakers.

He slid he does not know how many shares opponents to the sale could accumulate to block Avro if a fight for control ensues.
Mr. Jodrey. a director of many Canadian companies. declined to estimate the number of shares he

Dosco by Avro will mean curtail- ment of actlvitlty in plants of such Dosco subsidiaries as the Eastern Car Co at Trenton, N.S.. and the Halifax shipyards.
"Since money for Avro to pur- chase Dosco has been put up by the banks with the approval of the Bank of Canada, I hold the Dominion government must take the responsibility of any unem- ployment resulting in Trenton ployment resulting in Trenton and other Maritime places if the deal goes through." he said.
Mr. Sobey. who heads the lar- gest Maritime - owned grocery chain bearing his name. said, "if there were curtailment in em- ployment at Treuton's Eastern Car. the steel plant at Sydney or the shipyards at Halifax as a re- sult of the Roe company taking over, then the government at Ot- tawa must take the responsibility for permitting the credit for the purchase to be arranged."
Another Maritime mesnbe of the Dosco directorate - A. N. Jones of Halifax could not be reached for comment. C. J. Bur- chell of Halifax declined comment on Mr. .lodrey's statement.

Mr. Cantin said it lg hoped to recover one identifiable body in the main crater for an inquest to be held next week.

Party Leader Was Ousted Four Years Ago By Governor
GEORGETOWN, British Gui- ana ICPI-British Guiana's gen- crltl election took on the appear- ance of a landslide Wednesday night for the party of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, who also won in the last election for years ago but was ousted after six month; by the governor for attemptltfg to set up a Communist regime.
Latest tabulations indicated that J a g a n's People": Progressive party would win nine of the 14 elective legislative council seats at stake in Monday', voting. There are 28 seats in the council. The colonial governor appoints the other 14 rraambers.

While balloting was heavy par- ticularly in the East Inllan areas. the over-all figure showed only about 120,000 out of 212.000 Guian- ese eligible had voted.
Pan of the Gulanese hcsltnncy was attributed to confusion aris- ing out of the fact that both Ja- gan and Burnham called their party the People's Progressive" and used the same symbol. an airplane. to assist illlterates in balloting.

Only Yanks Are Permitted To Handle DEW Line Secrets
OTTAWA (CP) - only Ameri- can personnel are permltsad to handle secret information on the DEW (Distant Early Warning) dsr line in the Canadian Arctic. it was learned Wednesday.
Government officials here said. however. this appeared perfectly logical because the United States paid for construction of the Min.- 000.000 line and an American film is operating it.
The matter came to light when a number of Canadian radar ep- eretors on the line complained that their American counterparts were being paid more than they go - 81.050 a month to their
The labor department took up the matter with the operating firm. Federal Electric Corp. of New Jersey. and was assured that Canadian. and Americans on the DEW line are paid equal salaries for equal work.
However. all ”cypioradlcians" working on the line were Ameri- can and were paid more than Canadian radlclans." This was
the individual desires of the nsxtl
l
because they had slightly differ- ent Job; and handled all classi- fied work.
Federal electric said it was re- quired by the U.S. govu-insnent to hlrs only American; as "crypto- doradicians." This term can be freely translated as "radar oper- ator and decoder."
