ripe for general economic controls and the hope they will never be needed. He also intimated that the United states is going in help foot the bill for some defence install- ations in Canada which would bene- fit the whole of North America.

Enlistments satisfactory

Mr. Claxton said the armed for- ces have been getting men at a satisfactory rate, that they now have 80.000--the total was sn.ooo when the Korean war started a year ago- and that 31,000 civilians are work- ing at defence. Every effort would be made to raise the joint total to 150.000 from 111,000.

Ten per cent of the 80,000 men now in uniform were in the 27th Army Brigade which "is expected to go to Europe." There were enough replacanents now available, in add- ition. to reinforce the 25th Brigade in Korea for six months or more.

Canada's present defence pro- gram was taking 12 per cent of the national income compared to 45 to 50 per cent at in peak of the sec- ond world War. Thus, financially. it could be described as "26 per cent of an all-out war effort."

Threat to Canada

Mr. claxton referred to Russials A-bombs in an appraisal of the threat to Canada. It war came. there would likely be air and sub- marine attacks on Canada. There were two likely avenues of air approach.

'The first might be from the northwest. from Siberia. swinging across Alaska either to the east of the Rockies into the industrial cent- res or to the west coast cities. The second approach might be from Northern liurope across Iceland. the tip of Greenland, Labrador. the Gulf of at. Lawrence and down to the industrial centres.

"ii. is believed the Russians are making atomic bombs. If this is so. they may have as or they may have more."

The Russians had four-engined bombers to carry the bombs here but probably not enough to make sat- uration raids. v

Therefore there were about 30 targets reported likely to attract an A-bomb in the U. B. and about sev. en in Canada. Air attack against at least some of them was considered likely.

Reds Def-e-nd Buildup Areal Al liumsoiig

(By William C. Barnard)

TOKYO. June 27-(Wednesday) -(AP)-Allied forces battled for- ward up to four miles Tuesday in rugged Central Korea in a day- long fight with Communists stub- bornly defending a buildup area

at Kumaong. 29 miles north of parallel 38. Planes attacked the Reds sf;

low-level as they yielded heights south of Kumsong which they had won in bloody bayonet fight- ing two days previously.

Vicious hand-to-hand fighting broke out last night at two other points north of parallel 38 where the Reds have been reported massing for a possible offensive.

The inconclusive clashes flared on the western front northwest of Yonchon and the east-central front northeast of Yanggu.

The most serious Red builditn was near Ycnchon more than 35 miles north of Seoul in a sector which has been a traditional in- vasion route.

Reds there stalled an advance Tuesday for the second straight day and appeared ready to uncork a big counter-attack.

The mounting Red ground rc- slstance and continued show of fight by Red planes ccntrasted with talk in 11. N. circles of a possible cease-fire.

Red planes made four attacks Tuesday on Allied fighters and bombers over Northwest Korea and one Russian-built Mig jet was shot down.

MOSCOW, June 270 - (AP) - Russian newspaper readers were told today that Jakob A. Mallk's proposal for a Korean cease-fire has won the support of President Truman. Pravda said the Soviet people "are convinced that all possibilities exist for a peaceful settlement of the Korean quest- ion."

The Communist Party news- paper put its own Illmp of ap- proval on the plan outlined by. Russia's delegate to the United Nations in I radio broadcast Sat- urday and, with other papers. carried a brief item on Trumanis speech Monday at Tuliahoma. Tenn.

"President Truman said nothing special or new on the question of the war in Korea." this item said. ”However. he had to as- sociate himself with the proposal of Soviet representative in the United Nations Mallk on the peaceful settlement of the Korean que:tlon and the cessation of war activity."

(Truman did not directly men- llon Mslik's proposal. He said the United States is interested in a ”rcal settlement" to end aggres- sion and bring security to the Ko- reans. Americana. he said. are "ready to join in a peace settle- ment in Korea now. as we always have been.")

Salary Boost

OTTAWA. June 20-(CPI--A Government move to increase the salaries of judges by 20 per cent ran into opposition today in the Commons.

The Progressive Conservatives urged that the increase be defer- red at least until the fall session. The C. C. F. and Social Credit Parties asked that it be dropped until better provision is made for needier groups in Canada.

Justice Minister Garson indicat- ed the Government will attempt to get the measure through be- fore adlournment of the current session. expected this week. In- troduction of the ,ludges' measure slowed progress.

Mr. Garson said the salary in- crease would represent the rend- ering of "justice" to the judges of Canada, who have received only one increase since 1920. Their salaries with the new increase
