Parliamentary Group Considers Visit To P. E. I. This Session

OTTAWA, May 8- (Special)- Visit to Prince Edward Island be- fore the end of the current ses- slon by a group of members of Parliament representing all Prov- inces and all political parties l-s being contemplated here this week, The Guardian learned today.

Recently groups of this type have made short fact-finding trips to industrialized centres of On- tario and Quebec to see at first hand how Canadian industry and labor are grappling with their re- coriversion problems. 5o success- ful have these pro-Jects been that members are considering going farther afield with a view to get- ting eye-witness information on problems confronting different. sections of Canada. _

elilllast‘ ii Lake Erie lee

NIAGARA FALIS. Onto May 8 -(CtP>—Lake Erie ice is on the rampage again From the inlet o! the Niagara. Rlvcr a solidly jam- med ice mass today reached 20 miles out into the lake and held fast 10 big Great Lakes freight- ers, some loaded With automobiles destined for Buffalo and other United States cities.

The 10,000-ton icebreakcr Mack- inaw, until this week assigned to upper lakes duty in the sauit Ste. Marie area, was reported on her way to free the ships. But veteran Coast Guard men who have seen plenty of ice in their day said even the Mackinaw would find breaking this latest jam a. heavy chore,

They described the ice as jam- med so thoroughly that it ex- tended right to the bottom of the lake. Unlike the collections of scattered floes which sometimes hamper spring navigation, it is said to be “piled tier on tier" in the greatest jam since the freight-

ers started the 1947 navigation reason n month ago. Other ice antics inst month

created a huge ice jam above the brink of the American frills. The thundering cataract dwindled to a mcre trickle for the ftFst time in many years and the ice jam it- self gave power plant mcn some

bines.

Residents blame the situation on the unscasonably cold spring which has delayed the normal disappearance of the winter's ice and-a more cruel bio\v for peo- ple who live in this area-has set back the annual fruit blossom festival by at least three weeks.

Atomic Energy Discussed At E.I.G. Meeting

By JACY GRAY

TORONTO. May 8 — (GP) — The fantastic possibilities of ato- mic power and Canada's part in realizing them through her Chalk River atomic energy pro- ject were detailed at length to- day in the first public disclos- ures of some of the plant's feat- ures.

A glimpse of the terrific power of atomic energy was given scien- tists of the Engineering Institute of Canada in the statement of General A. G. L. McNaughton that a little over two pounds of uranium undergoing fission might release energy equivalent to per- haps some 20,000 tons of T.N.T. But the very implications it:

Chairman of the International

Atomic Energy Control Board. he told of efforts to control the ass-g tructive aspects of the atom and ended with the hope "that a pro-l per agreement between nations may be reached." The three who followed him n. an iiftemoon symposium on ato- mic energy-Carl l-i’. Jackson. E J. Wiggins and K. F‘. Tupper “were guarded on exact means by which some of the ends were achieved and also on precise de- sign features.

But they went into infinite technical detail on the broad as- pects of nuclear fission and Mr. 'I‘upper. director of the Engineer- ing Division at Chalk River, em- phasized its importance to eng-

See Soviet

(By Wes Gallagher)

BERLIN. May 8-(AiP)—Current developments in the Soviet press, radio and stage were widely in- terpreted here today gs evidence that an organized campaign has been launched in Moscow against the press of the western powers.

The campaign, marked today by a Soviet broadcast accusing the press of the United States of dc- liberately distorting an l-ntersxew between Prime Minister Stalin and former governor Harold Slas- ron of Minnesota, started during the foreign ministers’ conference in Moscow and has become im- creastngly apparent in this four~ power capital, where Soviet aims meet heed-on with those of the western countries.

The development of the cam- paign has been similar to the one launched by the Russians about Jan. i against British and Ameri- oen economic policies in the west- ern zones of Germany.
