Eight Canadian-Built Sabre Jet Fighters Delivered To The RAF

ABINGDON. Berkshire. England. Jan. 2-(CF) --The R.A.F. today received eight Canadian-built faster-than-sound Sabre jet fight- era.

The sleek, swept-wing fighters comprise the vanguard of about 400 Sabres Canada is building for Brit- ain.

Pilots of the RAF. Transport Command flew the jets from Bagel- ville. Que, via Goose Bay. Lab- rador; Blulc West. . Greenland; Keslavik. Iceland; and Prestwlck, Scotland to this R.A.F. base,

Nine planes left Canada but one crashed in Scotland, killing the R..A.F. pilot.

The Sabres made the crossing in six hours flying lime, spread over 12 days. Normally the trip would have taken three days but bad weather held the planes up at Lab- rador and Iceland. They averaged more than 500 miles an hour at 35,000 feet.

400 By End Of 1953

The rest of the 400 planes due for delivery should arrive here at regular intervals during the next 12 months. All are expected to be delivered by the end of 1953.

The planes were accepted on be- half of the RAF. by Air Minister Lord De L'Isle and Dudley.

He said the jets represented a degree of co-operation among American. Canadian and British air forces which hitherto had been

achieved only under war. -"There is'no better example of the North Atlantic system of mut- ual help." he said. ”It is a. grand alliance, not only in words, but in deeds."

some of the Qbre equipment is made in the United States. The air frames are built and the planes assembled in Canada.

Claxton's statement

Norman Robertson, Canadian high commissioner in London. read, a statement from Canada's Defence Minister, Brooke Claxton. describing the gift of the Sabres as "a three-way partnership for common defence."

Claxton-'s statement said that de- livery of 400 Sabres represents "by far the largest single act of milit- ary assistance to the United King- dom since the war.”

The assistance represents 5100.- 000.000. including cost of spare parts formaintalning the jets for the first year.

Claxtonls statement production was so original delivery dates advanced six months.

This was done' "without delaying our own build-up of an air divis- ions of 12 squadrons in Europe, all equipped with the same fighters."

"By means such as these." Clau- ton said. "we are steadily building our common defences for our com-

Defence Research Board

Designs M9

Jan. 3 -(GP) -The Defence Research Boards first at- tempt at orthodox gun designing-1 a mountain howitzer that can be dismantled into a number of light parts-has proved successful. the board reported today in a year-end review

The new gun. a report on Can- ada's first guided missile, particip- ation in the British atomic test off Australia and other matters are mentioned as contributing to "an impressive record of achievement."

The new howitzer is the board's first attempt at orthodox gun dc- aign. A prototype of the gun has been produced and it "promises a variety of operational uses."

"Because it can be broken down into a number of light parts. the weapon is readily transportable and can be set up quickly for action.”

The board said development of Canada's first guided missile-a complex air-to-air device under de- sign at Valcartler, Que.-is "pro- gressing satisfactorily."

The brief references to the wetpons gave no further details because. the board said. of security.

Dr. 0. M. Solandt, chairman of thelboard. attended the October atomic tests of! Australia. His "prime interest was in civil de- fence survey to determine the pos- sible effects of the explosion on humans."

MELFORT. Sash, Jan. 2-(GP) -The last horse in Canadian Na- tional Railways Express Service in Canada gave in to the gas age to- day and was replaced by a shiny, new two-ton truck.

The retirement of Frank, lil- year-old chwtnut gelding, com- pleted the company's change-over from horse to gas power started before the Second World War.

High coiiiiand In Germany Told To Avoid Decisions

BERLIN. Jan. 2 - (AP) - Allied circles said today Moscow has sent word to the Soviet High Command in Germany to avoid any decisions involving policy for the next few months.

Speculation arose immediately that the Kremlin may be freezing all cold-war questions, at least in Germany. against the possibility of a meeting of Prime Minister Stalin and President-elect Eisenhower.

Stalin said in a. Christmas state- ment, answering questions of a New York Times correspondent, that he regarded favorably a sug- gestion of diplomatic conversations looking toward a Stalln-Eisenhow- er meeting "on easing world.ten- slons.” Most Western experts view- ed the idea skeptlcaily.

The present Soviet attitude was uncovered in holiday conversations between the acting United States high commissioner, Samuel Reber, and high Soviet officials who at- tended a reception at the home of the American commandant. Maj.- Gen. Lemuel B. Mathewson.

Reber spoke with Sergei Dengin. chief of the Soviet Control Commis- sion. and several of Dengin's dep- uties. Reber said in an interview later he proposed that some solu- tions to current East-West differ- ences were nossibic, Politely but firmly, Dengln and the other So- viet officers declined to take up any issue whatsoever. The Russians were reported to have made it clear they would be unable to act on such matters for several months.

British and French authorities said they had felt the same atmos- phere in their recent social con- tacts with Soviet Gen. Vasslly Chut- kov and his staff.

Rene Mayer Seeks To Form New French liov'l

2--(AP)--Preniich designate Rene Mayer tried all day today to whip together an- other government for France, but most parliamentary groups piny- ed hard to gel. Mayer hopes to it'll President Vincent Auriol io- morrow whether he is assured of sufficient support.

Mayer is the fourth political leader called upon by Aurioi to attempt to build a cabinet since Premier Antoine Plnay's right-of- centre government resigned Dec. 22 because it faced certain de- feat ln the National Assembly over its 1953 budget.

Mayer is a Radical (Conservative) financial expert who has served as Finance and Justice Minister in previous P05” war governments.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2-(AP)- Attorney-General James G. Mc- Granery today ordered a new and broader federal grand jury investi- gation ln-to charges that disloyal Americans had infiltrated the Un- ited Nations.

McGra.nery said the Jury-sit- ting in New York-will be asked to look into "all evidence of per- jury, espionage or other crimes growing out of (a previous grand jury's) presentment" concerning the UN.

Last Dec. 2 another grand Jury hlad raised the charge of infiltra- ton.

Today's announcement indicated that McGl-anery had brought to- gether some opposing viewpoints among his aides.

District Attorney Myles J. Lane of New York said this week he was determined to have another grand jury cor.-Linue the inquiry.

the Justice Department's criminal division, said he opposed this plan unless the jury could come out with actual indictments rather than a simple presentment, such as was filed by the first Jury.

Presentments are public reports by a grand jury which either has insufficient evidence or insufficient time in which to return indet- ments.

The 18-month life of the first jury automatically expired last month.

A House of Representatives ju- diciary sub-committee has been holding hearings on allegations that State and Justice Department officials attempted to have the UN presentment either suppressed or delayed.

SEOUL, Jan. 3 -(Saturday) - (A P) - Allied fighter-bombers slashed Communist troop and sup- ply targeis in low-level daylight sweeps over North Korea Friday after small but furious pre-dawn infantry fights ,fiared across the front.

The Fifth Air Force reported its planes smashed Red troop Coll- centration area north of Pyong- yang and levelled a supply area northwest of 1-iumsong, both on the central front.

If the Reds make good their boast of opening an offensive sun- day, the attack most likely would be generated in this old Commun- lst build-up sector of the Iron Triangle.

Ground fighting flared up on the western front in a midnight raid by Allied infantry on a Red position near Bunker Hill. The Eighth Army said the raiders killed or wounded 45 Reds.
