Defends Interceptors And Radar As War Deterrents

OTTAWA (CF)--A senior RCAF nffcer has taken issue with two retired army generals on the sub iect of Canada's air defence pol-

icy.

Writing in the RCAF Staff Cd- lege Journal. Group Capt. Maub lea Lipton of Sydney, N.8.. direc- tor of strategic air plans at RCAF headquarters here. does not men- tion the officers by name but makes it clear he is referring to Lt. - Gen. Guy Simonds. former army chief of staff and Mal.-Gen. W. H. S. Macklin. retired army adlutant-general.

Gen. Simonds charged last year that development of the new sup ersonic CF-105 jet interceptor is "money down the drain."

Gen. Macklin has likened the building of radar warning lines across the continent to the erec- tlon of the Chinese wall and has said this project is a manifesta- tion of "Maginot Line" thinking in the defence department.

RADAR ONLY PART

Group Capt. Lipton writes:

"The department of national de- fence has been accused of depend- in: on radar 'wal'ls' for our sec- urity. This of course is nonsense because radar was never designed to stop any invader. It is just part of the defence system - I

He says the primary purpose of air defence is to contribute to the deterrent to war. it does this in two ways: By protecting the main dettlnlli. the U.S. Strategic Air Command atomic strike force based in the U.S., and by forcing an enemy to expend such reatg resources and effort in offensive preparations before he dare risk an attack that he will be discour- aged from attackln.

Group -Capt. Lipton says the de- terrent power of Strategic Air Command is effective only if there is assurance it can be brought into action.

"A s u r p r I s e attack against SAC's bases could greatly reduce its effectiveness. In other words. an offensive force that is not ade- quately protected is no longer a deterrent. It is the air defence system on which we rely in pre- vent a surprise attack and to miti- gate the effects of an attack." GAIN PRECIOUS TIMI:

He says the air defence system must be able to give SAC suffi- cient time to get airborne and on its way to retaliate before an at-

tack on its bases develops. It must

Brucellosis Control Plans Heard At Holstein Meeting

At the Annual Meeting of the' Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada held January 30 in Toron- to, Dr. Kenneth Wells. Ottawa. Veterinary Director General for Canada outlined in detail a Joint federal provincial plan for the eradication of Brucellosls. which; annually causes losses of millions: of dollars to Canadian cattlemen. The Holstein breeders had express- ed concern that foreign mar- kcts might be closed to them in future if an adequate program of control were not undertaken.

Dr. Wells hlueprlnted a three fold plan of control. This called. for initial steps by the provincesl to set up supervised areas. then as the next step controlled areas; where testing would be undertakl en by the federal health authori- ties. and reactors would be de atroyed and compensation paid. Finally. when the incidence of the disease had been reduced to less than one per cent in not more than five per cent of the herds.- lhe department would est " certified areas. It was probable that tests within the certified areas would then be conducted once every three years. Such a program would maintain the ra- putation of Canadian cattle as amongst the healthiest in the world. Dr. Wells stated that of the total annual calf crop ofiaboul one million. 633.000 had been of- flciplly vaclnated for Briicello- sis in 1956. and he was hopeful that the entire crop would be vac- cinated this year.

MORE SALES

Secretary G.M. Clemons. Brant- ford, Ontario. reported an 11 per cent increase in the number of animals for which transfers of ownership were issued in 1050. these totalling 59.998. as against 53.956 for 1955. Contributing to this increase was an exceptionally heavy export trade. which was distributed mongst sixteegi-i coun- tries. A total of 72.700 calves were registered. which is a slight decrease from the record flgun of 73.500 processsed in the previous ycar. The hcaiy expor: of ii--calf heifers no doubt contributed to this drop. The percentage of

artificial insemination was practi- :ally unchanged at 47.34 per cent.
