“100 per cent successful.” is the verdict of the Gemini IV officials on _the space exploit of astronauts Mc- Davitt and White. Certainly it was . am adventure which we all followed breathlessiv: and its termination, with both astronauts “healthy and happy” after their splash landing in the Atlantic east of Cape hoy, rates a world-wide salute. .

It was so fast that it developed an outward centrifugal force strong enough to balance the downward pull of gravity. With gravity thus cancelled out, the astro- nauts and ship were truly weightless.

Also, with gravity and centrifugal force cancelling each other, the only effective forces acting on ship and astronauts were those of their jet thrusters.

Remember Thaf Formula?

* Hon. E. Davie Fulton. formerly minister of justice in the Diefenbak- ef government. is credited with being one of the principal architects of the cantroversial formula for repatriat-

‘he Canadian constitution. It has dubbed the Fulton-Favreau fdemula since the present ister also had a hand in it. and it was desirable. in winning support. that it should have a isan nomenclature. _ Liberals were not slow in pointing out to Opposition Leader Dief- enbaker when he attacked the form- ula on the ground that if approved as drafted. it would “balkanize” Can- ada. Mr. Fulton did nothing to help Hf former chief out of this difficulty: but he is now campaigning for the Tory leadership himself. in a mild

ference to be held at an early date.

There are two main controversial sections in the formula. One relates to the veto right of a single province over the other nine in matters of provincial jurisdiction. The other— about which Mr. Fulton seems less concerned but which is at least equal- lv objectionable—is the delegation- of-power authority that would allow four provinces to get together and move into federal fields. if Ottawa

can be made to agree. In effect, angt«,.—

four provinces could join and trv to squeeze Ottawa into surrendering vital constitutional powers.

This is how the Fe onils was draft- ed at the federal-provincial meeting in Charlottetown last vear. how it was reportedly agréed upon and how it was subsequently approved by most of the provincial legislatures, in- cluding our own. But Quebec now is insisting that certain matters in

‘the constitution should be entrench-

ed so that they could not be changed without the permission of all the provinces. It is against the veto power as proposed. and Mr. Fulton thinks the plan should not be impos- ed on any province that has certain doubts about it.

In the circumstances. it- is likely that the federal government will postpone, for at least another year, its intention of proceeding with leg- islation to implement this. formula. Now that Mr. Fulton has washed his hands of it, we shouldn't be. surpris- ed if Mr. Favreau also began getting out from under the responsibility of having fathered it. ee

So far the results have. been disappointing, according to Vern McCarten, presi- dent of the Eastern Ontario Develop- ment Association, who complains that the area has not been getting its fair share of economic growth. Here are some of his comments at the annual meeting of the association, as_report- ed in the Ottawa Journal:

“Many municipalities in Eastern Ontario are facing grave difficulties. They are running like hell to stand still. The tax burden’ placed on resi- dential property owners is becoming onerous because of the low percent- age of industrial and commercial as- sessment. Lack of industrial growth forces our young people to seek em- ployment away from home.”

THE MOON PROGRAM

Prelude To Deeper Flights Into Space

The orbital flight of U.S. Air Force majors James McDivitt and Edward White is a stepping stone in the United States goal of landing men on the moon in this decade 2

Why go to the moon?

This is a question that has been debated in scientific and government circles since the late president Kennedy com- mitted the United State to the great adventure May 3. 1961.

Most scientists favor sending

some highly placed critics who believe the money and brain- power could be better used for the betterment of man’s lot on earth — for medical research, education, projects. exploration can be done less expensively with unmanned ve- hicles.

The Journal, in noting this com- -

plaint, adds that from the southern parts of Ontario come lamentations of another kind—about Niagara or- chards dug up to make room for fac- tories, of the intolerable traffic pile- ups endured by people coming and going to work and play and about complications caused by the massive concentration of people. industries and homes in the Toronto-Hamilton community.

These statements. it says. express the bitterness of disillusion. It hopes for better things under the provincial government's program of industrial decentralization. But in the mean- time it is evident that all Ontario is by no means prosperous and content.

TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (June 9, 1940) The Germans struck with at

least 1,800,000 men in a tighten- |

ing semi-circle about Paris and raced tank (panzer! divisions to a region only 35 miles northwest of Paris in a double lightning thrust as General Weygand pro- claimed the battle of France in its “last quarter of an hour.”

If Germany can score a decis- ive victory in the Battle of France it would be the signal for Italy's entrance into the war, Giovanni Ansaldo, editor Il Telegrafo of Leghorn, news- paper of foreign minister Galea- zzi Ciano, said today.
