Churchill Announces Britain Has Atom Bomb

Given vii? Of Confidence On Foreign folicy

IDNDDN. Feb. 26 -03?) - winston Churchill told the House of Commons tonight that Britain has the atom bomb and won from the House a 318 to 285 vote of mniidence on his foreign policy.

Fighting off Labor Party at-

tempts to censure him for a controversial speech before the United States Congress last

month, the 77-year-old Prime Minister denied vigorously making my secret agreements in his Washington talks with President Truman.

He insisted that Britainls policy toward China remained unchang-

ed.

Churchill said the Labor Gov- ernment defeated in last October's election not only produced the atom bomb in secret but also set up a plant for regular production.

The program was so secret. the Prime Ministeraaid. that he leam- ed about the bomb himself only after coming back into power four months ago.

U. S. Embargo

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - (OP) - The United States Department of Agriculture said today an order banning virtually all shipments of livestock and meat from Canada does not include grains other than hay and straw. The Department clarified its em- bargo on Canadian cattle and meat after an inspector at Rouses Point, N. Y.. a. Canadian-U.S. border- crossing point. disclosed that grain: and some vegetables also were be- ing refused entry into the U.B. The U.E. issued emergency or- ders Monday to border inspectors forbidding most cattle and meat from Canada to enter the country

because of an outbreak of foot- and-mouth disease in Saskat- chewan.

The order. taken to prevent the spread of the disease to American herds. was signed today by Agric- ulture Undersecretary C..1. McCor- mick and sent to customs officials

In explaining it. Department of- ficials said definite nstructions are being given the in tors and if there are any misunderstandings they will be cleared up promptly.

one official said these products are involved:

Prohibited - Cows. sheep. goats and hogs and any Lresh. chilled or frozen beef, veal. mutton, lamb and pork.

Restricted - Hay and straw and animal by-products. such as hides, skins and bone meal.

In effect. the official said there is little diference between prohib- ition and restriction.

Dr. C.I... Gooding of the Bureau of Animal Industry said the em- bargo does not include grains, oth- er than hay or straw.

Earlier. Dr. L. E. Bruncher, Bur- eau representative at Rouses Point. interpreted the order as covering about everything pertaining to live- stock and meat and their by-prod- uctsf :

Bruncher said this included hay and straw. grasses. rice. wheat and other grains, and legumes such as peas and beans.

Bruncher added that "a terrific lot of stuff" has been turned back at Rouses Point since the embargo went into effect.

locale Missing Army Nurse

OTTAWA, Feb. 26-(CP)- An Army Nursing Sister, Lieut. Eliz- nbeth Sansom, who has been the subject of a widespread search for more than two months. has been found in New York City.

In a brief statement issued late todny, Army Headquarters said that details' of her disnppcnrnnce "are still meagre." but that she has definitely been located and will be returned to the home of her parents at Stanley, N. B. The nurse. aged 26, had been missing since inst Dec. 24, when she boarded a train at Kingston, Ont., where she was stationed. She presumably was going to spend Christmas with relatives in Sherbroake. Que.

The Army statement said Miss Sansom "appears to have been the victim of amnesia."

She had been in touch with her parents yesterday by letter. They informed army authorities. who in turn sent the matron of the Kingston Hospital, Cnpt. ltfnrgnrot Dewar. to New York to locate the girl.

Capt. Dcwnr will accompany Lieut. Snnsnm to her pnrcnts' homo "shortly". the Army an- nouncement. said. Miss Sansom will remain there "until she re-

Giant Cattle Grave Is Dug in lteginairea

REGINA. Feb. 28 - (GP) - Workmen today began digging a giant cattle grave on the edge of the city as the program to eradic- ate the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease among livestock in the Re- gina area swung into full gear.

Diseased animals are to be shot by R.C.M.P., liberally covered with unslaked lime and then bur- ied. The first grave, on the farm of Konstantin Haun where 40 cat- tle are afflicted with the dreaded disease, will be 200 by 60 feet and about 10 feet deep.

But difficulty in breaking the ground -- it is frozen solid for five feet - delayed shooting of the an- imals. Federal officials directing the control program said the shooting probably won't start until tomor- row.

Owners of the animals to be slaughtered - 1015 head of cattle. 190 hogs and 140 sheep - will re. ceive Federal compensation rang- ing from s40 to 3100 a head plus allowances for value of the carcass.

As the grave-digging got under way. a top federal veterinarian told the Saskatchewan Cattle Breeders' Association that it is hoped to have the disease outbreak "under rea- sonable control before the spring breakup."

All Must Cooperate

But Dr. Kenneth Wells of Ot- tawa. Amociate Chief. Veterinarian for Canada, emphasized this will depend on full co-operation of farmers and livestock owners in the infected area.

He said the disease could be whipped and it wouldn't ruin Can- ada's multi-million-dollar livestock industry.

Regina citizens were calm. They bought their milk and meat as usual. Dairies and meat markets reported no reduction in sales.

Meanwhile. an R.C.M. P. officer here disclaimed reports that the disease might have been smuggled in nurposely.

R.C.A.F. picked up for ques- tioning a. German displaced per- son in Port Arthur. on the theory he might have been the source of the infection.

SYDNEY, N.S.. Feb, M -(CP)- Striking rural and village teachers in Cape Breton County decided to- day to return to their desks to- morrow, endiiig Nova Scotin's first school strike.

The W strikers, who walked out Jan. 31 to back up wage demands or saon a year will receive a cost. of 'living bonus of 3100 a year plus another 33100 for married men.

The teachers, whose strike left about 5.500 students without clas- ses, carlicr refused the offer.

Still on strike, however, are 94 rural and village teachers in Anti- gonish County. on the mainland. They asked a similar 5300 increase. About 2,000 students are without classes there.

The cape Breton teachers decid- ed to return to work under an agreement which will allow them to make up lost teaching days, thus retaining their seniority and pen- sion qualifications.

They also asked their parent 'Nova Scotin. Teachers' Union, an unaffiliated body with no legal bargaliiing powers under Nova Scotia Law, the Department of Ed- ucation and Municipalities to com- bine in a request for a commission to study the teachers' salary ques- tion.

Cameron Scars. vice-president of the Cape Breton local, said: "We have won a moral victory and the cause of the teachers has won pub- lic recognition and support."

The teachers walked out when County Council rejected their sal- ary demands and referred them to ,provlncinl officials.
