POINT BARROW, Alaska LA?) The Distant Early Warning line. a 3,000-miles-long chain of radar stations guarding North Amer- ica's northern rim, has been operating in test for months anti already has shown "I00-per-cent" capebill .

brig. n. Stanley Wray. chief of the United States Air Force electronic defence system. made the evaluation Tuesday at a for- mal ceremony marking formal delivery of the Alaskan section of the line by the builders. Western Electric Co.. to the government.

in the first public demonstra- tion for reporters. the DEW line station here picked up n U. 5. tot bomber far out over the polar sea as it strcaked toward the warning system at more than 600 miles an hour.

After the demonstration. Wray disclosed that in what amounted to unplanned tests. stations along the linc-most of them in north- Irn Canada-have spotted uniden- tiiiad aircraft which later proved to be friendly planes far off course or accidental visitors to the electronic search path.

fray also said a variety of

tests have been taking place dur- ing the last month of B-47 jet bombers seeking to penetrate the line at high. medium and low al- titude from various approaches out over the Arctic Ocean.

N0 RED PLANES YET

At a press conference. Wray also gave these answers to ques- tions:

No Sovict planes "that we know of" have been picked up by DEW linc stations so far.

Present equipment is designed for detection of objects the size oi bombers. it is "possible" that let fighters could get through the line undetecmd but it is highly unlikely that such short - range aircraft were being used by an l enemy at the vast range involved

in a strike toward the US.

The DEW line could pick up guided missiles at "reasonable" altitude. but with present equip- ment could not pick up ballistic missiles.

Wray conceded that It is pos- sible to jam any kind oi radar "if enough jamming power were available. but such jamming it- sclf would be a warning that an enemy was operating against the

system."

George E. Rogerson. executive officer of the Co-operatipe Perm- anent Building Society. who re- turncd to Britain recently after an eight-week tour of Ontario and the four western provinces. says lie is "appalled" at the high in- terest rate many Canadians are paying on loans for home build-

The normal loan in Canada covers about 50 per cent of valua-, lion. forcing most prospective home owners to seek expensive second mortgages.

First started as co-operative ventures by small groups oi home builders some 300 years ago. Brit-

ish building societies now oper- ate on a permanent basis under government regulation. About 700 .soclo.-ties are in existence with total assets of t:2.3I0.(lXJ.000.l lMost of the capital is provided, by thousands of small investors who receive a return of about four per cent. tax free. on their money.

The societies say it is allInifl- cant that in Britain. where there is a strong building movement. the excess of population over available housing has decreased by 51 per cent since me. In the same period Canada has recorded an Increase of eight per cent. BARRED IN CANADA

At present there is no existing legislation in Canada. either fed-l cut or provincial. under whlchi

building societies mijit operate. But Rogerson says both Demin- ion and provincial officials "are showing considerable interest" in the British scheme.

OTTAWA (CPl - some Cana- dian soldiers have become so skii- led at the intricacies oi gdided missiles that they now are in- structing on the weapons In the United tstes and Britain.

Army headqdarters disclosed Tuesday that since 1992 a total oi 12 officers and 150 men of the ar- Liiiery. ordance c o r p s. army service crops and electrical and mechanical engineers have re- ceivcd special training on ground- to - air and surface - to - surface guided missiles or rockets at various U.S. Army schools.

At the same time. the navy dis- closed that to officers have re- ceived or are receiving advanced training on guided weapons in the U.S. and Britain.

The RCAF. however. refused to say how many airmen have been trained on missiles.

An air force spokesman said the lntot-rnation could not be made public because the RCA! "hss not adopted any missiles."

In fact. however. the defence department has on order U.S. Navy sparrow air-to-air missiles for use in the CF-I00 Jet Intercep- tor or the supersonic CF-I05. still in the development stage. ASKED FOR COMMENT

Asked for comment on the RCA!"s refusal to disclose the in- formation. D e f e n c a Minister Pearkes said through a spokes- man that he did not wish to dis- cuss the matter at this time.

The army said its policy is to keep abreast of all developments In the field of guided missiles and sockets and to have a core of trained specialists and instructors "ready for the day when the Ca- nadian Army procures specific weapons." ,

Two Canadian warrant officers. at the request of the U.S. Arsny. new are 'sarving as instructors at the anti-aircraft and guided mis- stle school at Fort Bliss.

The navy said it began training officers on guided weapons in I019. Two officers are sent on special courses every two years.

The courses include those con- ducted by the U.S. Army Artil- lery School, Royal Military Col- lege of Science at Rivenham .Eng land. the RAF college at Henlow, England. the U.S. Navy guided missile school and the University of Michigan.

In addition. several hundred navy officers have attended the Joint service missile indoctrina- tton course conducted by the RCAF st Clinton. Ont. some 60 officers attend the two - week course each year.

The RCAF declined to say how many of its members attend this course.

Gives Pointers On How

To Ride Shark

By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK (AP)-Most swim- mers who encounter a shark merely worry how to escape him. A few brave souls. however. have a wild desire to ride him bareback.

In both cases John Tassos. a New York advertising executive and authority on skin diving. has the answer. He is the author of The Underwater world. a guide for sportsmen who want to spear fish. explore wrecks or.merely pick up shells from the floor of the sea.

How can a swimmer escape it he encounters a shark or barra- cuda near shore?

"The chances are. if youvmeet one of these big rim near shore. lie is well fed and merely curious at seeing you." said Tassos.

"The main thing to do is to avoid irritating him. How do you keep him calm? By staying calm yourself. The simplest thing to do is to keep your eyes on him. and swim toward shore, slowly and easily.

"Remember he is in his home and you are the stranger and in- truder in his house.

KEEP COOL

"Above all. don't panic. If you tliresh the water violently trying to get away. you may excite him and cause him to attack.

"If a barracuda insists on com- ming too close. you can turn and swim toward him and he'll go awny-999.999 times out of a mil- lion.

"If a shark comes too close. put your head under water and yell as loud as you can. '60 away. you bum! Get lost. He can't hear you. but he can feel t.he vibrations. If he still comes on. hit him on the nose. which is very scmitive because his brain is right behind it. Usually. then. he'll leave. It be comes back. hit him on the nose again.

"But don't panic and start floundering toward shore. The shark and barracuda are among the swiftest fish in the sea. You cant out-swim them-you have to outthink them."

However. it is possible to ride a shark bareback and come home alive. Tasrtos is one of a number of veteran akin divers who enjoy this hobby. now pop- ular in the Bahamas.

"You grab him by the dorsal fins just aft of his gills. leap on his back and lock your legs around his body in a scissors hold. You can get a good grip because his skin is sandpapcry. not slimy.

"By holding his dorsal fins you can keep him from turning his head and biting off your leg. Then he'll roll over and over in the water. buck like a bralmaa bull. and try to bruit you off Itzainst the rocks.

"After six to 10 seconds-that's about as Iong a ride as you'll want-you double up your feet on his back, still holding on to the dorsal fins. and kick him vio- lently away.

"If he turns on you. it's up to your spearmen to get him.

"But usually be is so embar- rassed. he will swim away. After all the shark is the king of the sea. and he hates to stay around where he's been humiliated."

School Opoanlngu May Spread Flu

WASHINGTON (AP)-A public health service official said Wed- nesday there is a possibility the reopening of schools next month might bring on an epidemic of Asiatic flu in the United States.

since this is no eertainy, "I don't think we would be justified in not reopening the school."

He said. however. that the re- turn to classes could hasten an epidemic. if. in fact. one does occur.

Surgeon-General Leroy Barney said earlier Wednesday there is "a definite probability that a large-scale epidemic will occur this fall or winter."

Burncy said there is a possibil- Ity-although not now for that the mild disease so far ex- periencedv might change to a more virulent one.
