HALIFAX. April 2 -.- (OP) -Dr. Osmond Solnndt. chairman of the Defence Research Board and science member of the joint chiefs of staff. told a. service club here today what Canadians across the country are doing in his department:

At Buffleld, Alta., Canada's big- gest defence research centre. they are carrying on the only field trials

At Churchill, Msn.. the "northern lab" cleats principally with prob- lems of humans in Arctic condi- tlons.

Research at Esquimault, B.C.. is devoted to -"ti-submarine warfare and problems of underwater sound.

At Halifax. the naval research establishment works mainly on problems of underwater warfare. but has done work of major tin- portance in the field of corrosion.

The Canadian Armament Re- search Establishment at Valcartier. Que.. is moving toward intensified study of guided missiles. Experts feel "within the next 10 years guid- ed missiles will have replaced guns."

New Anti-Tank Shot

And at Esquimaull; the scientists have developed a new anti-timl.; shot. "turning out to be the best of its kind in the world."

In Ottawa. I new Arctic respir- ator has been developed. and the defence aspects of chemical war- fare are being studied. Also in Ot- tawa is the defence i b 9,919. communication establishment which deals with such problems as radio transmission from the Arctic Cir. cle. II problem peculiar to Canada's north.

In Kingston, there's a small bac. terloloatcal warfare laboratory. Tor- onto has a medical laboratory de- voted to research into diseases and

Gordon Discusses Railway llrobleln

MONTREAL. April 3 -tCP)- Competition between highway transportation and railways is the "major national transportation problem of this decade," Donald Gordon. president of the Canadian National Railways. said today in a Ipeech prepared for delivery to the Canadian club.

Because inter-provincial high- way transportatlon comes within provincial jurisdiction. the Royal Fem ' ' on Transportation did not directly explore the problem of road-rail competition, Mr. Gor- don said. He earnestly hoped that "the range of public discussion stimulated by the report will be broadened to take account of the very important facts which lay outside the Lunar lsslon's terms of

reference." From the standpoint of the public as a whole. the railway

president said. it does not matter whether Canada's freight is car- ricd by railroads or highways car- riers-"provlded shippers get the service they want at the lowest possible cost to themselves and to the public. and provided that the requirements of national de- fence are obtained at the mini- mum cost."

He reminded his audience. how- ever. that "Canadian railways are performing a physicial job of transportation which highway carriers could not possibly duplic- ate. carrying something like 150.- 000,000 tons of freight annually at an average rate per ton-mile of less than 1 t-2 cents-at which level no truckers in North America could survive."

Mr. Gordon said he thought it might be assumed that "the rail- way problem" centres around "freight rates and in particular the question of equalizing freight rates across Canada. but, in his opinion. this was only another aspect of the greater problem.

"The existing inequality in regional ratc levels is in large measure the consequence of a dif- ficult series of problems arising out of competition between rail- ways and highway freight car- riers." he said. "Faced, with local- ized competition from truckers. particularly in central Canada where competitive influences are highly concentrated. the railways have had to cut rates on the most valuable traffic. inevitably this has meant that other traffic and other areas. have been affect- ed by efforts to recoup the loss in net revenues.”

The Canadian National manage- ment is ready to recognize the technical advantages inherent in motor vehlclecarriers and to make use of them in providing combin- ed rail and highway services for the greater convenience of the public. Mr. Gordon said. however. proposals in this direction had been frustrated by the refusal of competent authorities to license railway-owned bus or truck ser- vices.
