An application for a subsidy on a starch manufacturing program will be made to Ottawa by the Prime Edward Island and New Brunswick P o t a t 0 Marketing Boards. it was decided at a meet- ing of the two boards in Frederic- ion on Monday. The application will be made immediately.

should this subsidy be granted it is estimated that about 1200 carloads of potatoes could be taken care of. Ottawa will be asked to pay a small amount of assistance so that the starch manufacturers may be able to pay growers a price to meet world competition.

The above plan will aid Prince Edward Island srowers only to in limited extent. if it malerializea. but it is expected to go a long way in removing the surplus from the market, it was stated by Mr. )5. D. Reid. Board manager.

There are - two large starch rnanufacturlrx plants in New Brunswick. One is closed com- pletely and the other is open oc- casionally. Operators are paying growers about 50 cents for s. 165 lb. barrel. :

The members of the Island Mar- ketiij Board returned home last evening. The chairman of the Is- land Board. Mr. D. A. MacDonald, returned home earlier due to the illness of his sister. Sister John of the Creel. who nested twlv last night. Others . ttending the meeting were Messrs. E. D. Reid. manager. Fred Bell. Sumrnerside. and Allie MoNeill, O'Leary.

iluesi To-Be E Granted Slay 0f Execution

QUEBEC. March 13 - (CP) - The Crown today closed its case against Mrs. Arthur Pitre, 42, charged with murder in the Quebec Airline time-bomb case.

The prosecution's last witnesses were experts who conducted cheni- ical analysis on debris of the Can- adian Paclfic Airlines plane which exploded in mid-air Sept. 9. 1949. killing 23 persons.

The experts said the analyzed debris showed traces of a dynamite explosion.

Mrs. Pitre is the third person charged with murder in the case. .1. Albert Guay was hanged for plotting the bombing to get rid of his wife, Rita. Genereux Ruest, brother of Mrs. Pitre, was convict- ed of manufacturing the clock-like dynamite detonstor in the tinie- bomb and sentenced to be hanged Friday. His execution will he stay- ed because his appeal in the case is to be heard in April.

The experts repeated evidence they gave previously at Ouay's and R.uest's trials last year. . The debris analysed was from the left forward luggage compart- ment of the plane, where the time-bomb parcel delivered by Mrs. Pitre was placed.

Apart from traces of dynamite. the experts also mentioned marks made on the debris by piece: from an alarm clock of the type which Ruest admitted using to make the time-bomb.

Famous Wartime Pilot :Dies After Long Illness

SYDNEY, N. S.. March 13 - (OP)-F1-ank'(Cookie) Cooke. Jr.. 33, the pilot who brought back the first eye witness report of the D-Day invasion, died here today.

The ace reconnaisance pil0t'flew with the Canadian 414 Squadron led by W. C. "Smok ," Stover.

On D-Day. while returning to his base from a train-wrecking sortie on the continent. he found himself high above the invasion fleet. His account of Allied forces storming Normandy beach-head was flashed around the world.

A former R. C. A. F. command- officer once remarked: "Every- body knows Cookie." And one of the things which contributed to the youthful pilot's prominence in his squadron was his expert alr- manahip.

Once he returned to his base with his Mustang fighter in a shot-up condition. one landing wheel was gone. For anxious min- utes he circled the fieid while

. month ago.

then he brought the fighter in for a perfect "flap" landing.

After that the squadron's stat- ion publication became known as "flap." Its cover was from an oil painting of F-L Cooke's bullet- riddled "trainubuster" coming in for a. three-point landing.

He wasn't always so fcrtunille. On a later flight into enemy ter- ritory he was severely wounded but managed to bring his air- craft safely back to the airdrome.

Mr. Cooke served several years in key flying instructing jobs in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. He was elementary flying instructor at Windsor Mills. Que, and at Stanley, N. 3., where he was flight commander.

After the war he became a salesman for an insurance com- pany. Last November he entered

Camp Hill Hospital in Halifax where he underwent two major operations and a long period of treatment. He returned here a

(By Howard W. Blalrealoo Assoc- iated Press Science Editor

NEW YORK. March 13-(AP)- The Greenglass atom bomb. a spy's idea of the real atom bomb, was bored to lhe world today.

This,Greenglass bomb is partly imaginative stuff and partly real. The real part was one of the most closely-guarded secrets. until to- day.

It is enough to tell any atom bomb-maker how overcome some of his most serious difficul- ties.

The secrecy was lifted-but only tempormlly-at the atom spy trial here yesterday. No court record was kept. Reporters were told to use their judgment Morning papers published extended ac- counts.

Thc sccrt-is were shown in some sketches made by David Greongiass. confessed spy. at Los Alamos, N.M.. where he worked and where all United States atom bombs have been designed.

He described the atom bomb as a round object. made of three concentric shells. surrounded by a girdle of detonators.

The outer shell, he said. was plastic but filled with fairly heavy metal barium. The purpose of this shell. he said. is to protect the girdle of detonators from radio- active rays coming from deep in- side this bomb.

The second shell. inward. was made of plutonium. the A mic bomb xplosive. Inside it was a third shell. if Beryllium. This inner shell. said Greengiass, was to upply the neutrons to set off the plutonium explosion.

The damaging secret is the girdle of detonators. The tip-off to their importance is their de- scription by Greenglass-both in sketches and by name-as flat lenses. a mechanism which chan- nels tha direction of an eXill0Il0!I-

An engineer could tell from the drawings of the lenses how to reporters were-not shown these drawlnsm

By LIIF EIIICKSON

U. B. EIGHT!-I ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, Korea. March 13 - (AP) -- The Chinese Communists have given up some of the best de- fensive positions in Central Korea. And that puzzles the Allied Ken- erals.

In no days of slow. steady ad- vance, the United states Eighth Army has moved into its straight- est front and the most promising positions since the Chinese inter- vened in Korea four months ago

United Nations troops now have crossed the crest of the mountains and ridge lines from which the Chinese struck in eir ill-fated of- fensive of February.

Why are the Reds pulling back?

The most likely reason is they are back-tracking for a chance to throw another of their massive punches.

Yet why did they back-track in the centre from the good line of mountain ridges easily defended?

Observers Puzzled That puzzles

Rldgway said he had expected :1 bitter battle in the centre between Yangpyong and Hoengsong on the front east of Seoul. The Chinese offered only rearzuard onpositiori.

In that pullback the Reds gave up what Ridgway called "a. good line of departure" for an enemy of-
