WASHINGTON, April 11-(AP) -The Atomic Energy Commission announced today it is planning a new 81,000.000,000 plant to pro- duce uranium-235, a. key atomic substance in war or peace.

Sites in the Ohio River valley are being studied. it said.

The plant will require about 8,000 acres of land. the A.E.C. said. will need about 4,500 operating workers and will ept up 1,000,000 kilowatts of power when running at capacity.

This major development in the United Btates' Atomic Energy pro- gram is included in expansion of plans now being drafted by the A. E. C. for submission to Congress. Pregident Truman has said alive- year expansion to cost somewhere

A. E. C. said the new plant will employ the "gaseous diffusion" process for separating flsslonable uranium-235 from uranium as it occurs in nature. At present the gaseous diffusion process is the 0 one known to be in use in th U. 5.

However produced, U-235 is a .key substance either for making bombs or for powering atomic en- gines and devices used in produc- ing radioactive isotopes for med- ical and other research.

As far as is lmdwh, it is still needed to help "trigger" the more powerful hydrogen bomb now un- der development.

LONDON. April 1l---iReut.ers)-- Thousands of jobs going begging while thousands of textile work- ers are idle-that is Britain's em- ployment position today.

Labor Ministry returns show that in Lancashire's cotton tex- tile industry more than 100.000 workers-one-ihlrd' of the indus- try's total labor force-were work- ing short tlvrie or were wholly unemployed this week because of the world-wide slump in demand for textiles.

Many thousands of workers in Yorkshire's textile industry, are wholly ervpartly outof work. for the same reason.

Yet there are 250.000 job vacan- cies in the engineering. aircraft and other industries further south. in the Midlands and else- where.

A large part of these vacancies are for skilled workers badly needed for defence contracts.

Most of the textile workers have grown up in the mill towns and do not want to move away. They hope to ride out the slump.

Government officials say that if Britain is to fulfil her rearma- ment program and produce more of the heavy engineering and other capital goods needed for ex- port. some means of inducing workers to switch, their Jobs has

to be found.

The shortage of skilled labor has created a "surplus"gof un- skilled labor. If more skilled workers could be found. their work could produce employment for many more unskilled workers in the same factories.

As one means of overcoming this. the government is expanding its training facilities for engin- eering workers and cutting down training in other trades.

The slump in the textile indus- tries has produced Britain's first serious post-war unemployment problem. The Labor Ministry's lat- cst.monihly return shows that in the month ended March 17 the unemployed rose by nearly 40,000 to 433,000-the highest figure since 1947. when a fuel shortage forced many factories to shut temporarily. .

To bring war to the industry the government a speeding up the placing of defence contracts for textiles worth between 520.-

However. Lancashlra claims

that the work on these contracts will last only for about three weeks.

little for P.E.l. Under Marshland Rehahiliillion

OTTAWA, April 10 - (Special)- J. Angus Maclean, Joint Conserva- tlve member for Queen's. filed a question with the House of Com- mons today asking:

"What projects are being carried on in Prince Edward Island under the Maritime Marshland Rehabil- itation Act?"

He further asks how much has been spent by the Federal Govern- ment on each project to date An- swers are expected on Monday. April 2i.

It is expected that replies to Mr. MacLean's questions will reveal the extremely small share of marshland rehabilitation that has been car- ried out in Prince Edward Island as compared with works completed and in progress in both Nova Sco- tla and New Brunswick.

This year, the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture will spend a total of 81,655,520 under the Mari- tlme Marshlahd Rehabilitation Act. an increase of 3446.720 over 1951-52. Of the total, Sl0.00il.00i) 1S devoted to the acquisition of land and buildings, the balance being lallocatecl to salaries. materials and general expenses.

In 1951-52. the Department spent 8082.908 in marshland rehabilitation in the Maritimes. with 5024.000 as- signed to acquisition of lands and buildings.

Johnson's lllver Marsh

Of this overall total, only 819.165 was spent in t'.1e 1951-52 period in Prince Edward Island. This amount was for works at the Johnson River marsh.

Comparison of figures shows that funds spent in Prince Edward Island under the M.M.R. A. rep- resent linly about two percent of the grand total. the other llii per- centgolng to Nova. Scotis and New Brunswick. It seems likely that Mr. Macbean will suggest to the House o' Commons that this benefit is so small that the province can hardly be considered to come under the act. at all.

In the past, former Prince Ed- ward Iaiand members have sug- gested that some special additional benefit should be offered P.i:.' I. to bring the Province on a more equitable basis with the two others as far as marshland rehabilitation is concerned. such benefits could take the form of reduced transport- ation rates on the Borden-'rormen- tine ferries or the offering of spec- ial facilities and lower prices for imports of fertilizer.

OTTAWA, Apr. ll-(CP)-Cam ada'a farmers hauled in a peak cash income of 32.825.000.000 dur- ing the calendar year 1951. the Bureau of Statistics reported to-

ay. At the same time it reported a sharp drop in farm prices during February which may lead to a decline in farm income for the year if the trend continues.

All provinces showed increases over 1950. with Ontario leading the money parade with 3793.100,- 000. up from 303,700,000.

Remarkable R

OTTAWA. April 11 - (spgcjuj-. Prince Edward Island Mil all provinces of Canada in exports of farm produce to New England, ac- cording to figures assembled by Roger R. Parlour. Canadian Vice- Consul at Boston. and published in the magazine 'iForelgn Trade" is- sued this week-end.

In 1951. shipments to New ling- land points totalled 914 carlots compared to New Brunswick with 317; British Columbia. with so and Nova Scotla with 27.

Of the total Canadian vegetable and fruit exports to New England. Prince Edward Island shipped 3:13 carlots of potatoes, the built srriv. inlz by rail and the balance by truck.

"Particularly Popular"

Of potato sales in New England, Mr. Parlour writes: "Canadian po. tatoes sccm certain to continue in dcmnd in New England because at their competitive price and good quality. The distinctive reddish tinge of the -Prince Edward island potatoes has proved particularly popular with New England con- sumers."

Upwards of 90 percent of the tur- nips arriving at the Boston market. in 1051 were from Prince Edward Island and the preference for this type. of turnip remains strong, the vice-consul writes. Of turnip amp. ments. 537 reached Boston by rail and as by truck.

As to fruit shipments. strawber- ries are making their way from P. E. I. and New Brunswick to New England points after the harvest: in New England itself and south- ern points are over.

Forseea Expansion

Mr. Parlour says that undoubt- edly sales to New England of many varieties of Canadian farm prod- ucts can be expanded. He reminds shippers that they must be pre- pared to meet the high standards of their competitors in many parts 0! the United States if they are to command favorable prices. This in- volves careful packing, sorting. and shipping so that the goods reach their market in perfect condition.
