Since I was chosen as uatioiial leaner of the Progressive Con- servative Party a. month ago there has been s very noticeable effort to create the impression that while I was Premier of Ontario I opposed measures which would have been to the advantage of other Provinces throughout Canada. I read the report a few days ago of a speech by one of the Provincial Premiers who said that l had pre-

Paris Story Says Explosion Was Premature

PARIS, Nov. 5 -— (Reuters) - What. is purported to be an ac- count. oi an unsuccessful Russian atom bomb test is printed today in the Paris newspaper Figaro. The copyrighted article says the bomb exploded prematurely.

The account of the lest is said to be based on the information of a former Russian general stat‘ ofii~ cer. Captain Sllov. now reported to be working ln Snulh Amerlca as an r-ngiiicering chemist after leav lnl! Russia with false papers.

Prime Minister Stalin and Mar- shals Tlmoshenko and Voronov were said to hfave been present at the test.

(Timoshenko, 63. was command- cr-in-cblcf oi the Red Army on Soviet fronts in tlic last war.

(Voronov is an artillery expert and directed the artillery oper- ations against the encircled Ger- ,-man Fifth Army at Stalingrad.)

Two bombs, manufactured at Sierlitnmik and Altai, were report- ed to have been tested.

. Stcrlitaniak is in European Rus- ‘sia about 500 miles northwest of {the Caspain Sea and 3T0 miles southeast of Kazan. The Altai

Mountains are in Asia near Outer
