stiffer Penalties For (iriinc GOIILOS» llrgeii by MP
o'I'I‘AWA, (CF) —An Opposition member who helped convince Par- liament of the need for it ban on crime comic: now wants stiffer penalties against their publishers, and against publishers of obscene material. A
Davie Fulton, Progressive Con- _w~v;,t,lve member for Kamloops, Thursday night proposed in the Commons a maximmum $25,000 nfie for the corporations which publish crime comics, or a .fl\'I’.-)'€ll'.‘ year term if the pub.isher is an individual.
The present m_a)tirnum penalty of two years applies to both pub- lishers and distributors and Mr Fulton's proposed amendment said this should be continued for whole- salers and retailers.
He made his proposal as an amendment to the Criminal Code, now before the Commons for re- vision.
Justice Minister Garson opposed ‘he amendment. on grounds that the Law now provides an unlimited fine for corporations.
MI. Fulton replied that a $25,000 fine has never been imposed.
Fine Up To Court:
The minister agreed, but said it L1 up to the courts to decide the amount of the fine. Provincial at- tomeys-generatl could appeal the sentence if they thought it insuffic- icn.t.
The amendment was supported by Rev. E. G. Haiiscll «5C-Mac- leod.
Mr. Fulton was instrumental in having Parliament in 1949 ban the sale and distribution of crime com- l(Ԥ. They are defined as piibiic-.i- tions devoting all or most of their space to crime pictures.
Thursday night he t"lC‘S(‘l'll)f‘d rrime comics and obscene litera- ture as a "lethal and ghastly form nf perversion." And said publish- ers bear the prime responsibility.
Distributors often coii'd no! (in an adequate job of t‘l‘llS0l'lll‘,1 .ln‘
material that passed through their‘
hands. he said, but they should not be relieved of responsibility. "These men are going to place in the hands of children thing,.. which will corrupt their minds."
Crime Comics Return
He said the 1940 law resulted in crime comics disappearing from newsstands for it time. But they now had returned. An estimated 5.000.000 8. month were distributed.

FRENCH STRIKE CALLED
PARIS. tAPi-—’I'he Communist.- dominated Confederation Generate du Travail, l7'rance‘s largest labor union, called today for a one-day general strike April 28 to bolster its demands for an increase in the llililolllli minimum wage scale. The basic minimum now is 20,000 francs 1557i it month. The CGT wants this raised to slightly more than 25,000 francs.
l jbecausc of their enormous profits. , Fred 5. Zaplitny (CCF-Dauphin) lsaid it is not fair to place respons- ibility on magazine distributor: Sand retailers for supervision of the contents of crime comics. It should be placed on publishers.
Mr. Hansell said laws banning obscene publication should apply to radio and television. Television was a. powerful moulder of public morale and should be interpreted as a medium of pubication to bring it within existing laws.

Difference it Between A“ And II-Bonds
WASHINGTON. (AP) — What‘: the difference between a hydrogen bomb and the "old - fashioned" atomic bomb?-
It's easier to understand if you remember that actually they're both A-bombs. The basic differ- once is that the ‘‘old'' type, first exploded in 1945. makes use of splitting atoms, while the newer one fuse; or puts atoms together in new combinations.
Either way there's a tremendous release of energy—but much more so with the hydrogen bomb,
It’; more accurate to call the older weapon II fission bomb, rather than just an "atomic" bomb, and the new type a fusion bomb instead of a “hydrogen" bomb.
What the fluion bomb does. es- sentially, is split atoms of uranium a very heavy material. The fusion bomb, on the other hand, gets its deadly effect by converting atoms of hydrogen, which is extremely light, into atoms of helium.
one more thing: It takes a fis- sion bomb to set off, or "trigger," a fusion bomb.

Iiicppc House to Expand Facilities
MONTREAL, tC.P> —— Dieppe House. I "living memorial" to
men who died in the first big at- tack on Hitler's Atlantic fortress. announced Thursday it will ex- pend its facilities for the care of epileptics.
The institution, unique in North America, was found in 1946 by the late George A. Savoy. a manu- facturer, in memory of his son, Poul. and other Canadians killed in the Die-ppe raid of Aug. 19, 1942. Dieppe House was built at near- by St. Hilalre, it building with- out inside doors or siai.r\\1.iys, and now has 82 patients. The u.not'l.ho- dox design is to protect patients who may have an epileptic attack at any time. Ramps take the place of stairways.
John Savoy, brother of Maj. Paul Savoy, who was killed at Dleppe, Thursday announced a campaign for $75,000 to build a new wing and increase the capac- ity of the hospital by 50 per cent. He said there is no similar in- stitute in North America, and en- quiries from Europe indicate the hospital may be the only one of its kind in the world.
