OTTAWA, Oct. 9 -- (Bpedal)— Obstacles have prevented comple- tion by the Dominion Government of a report. on the proposed bridge or causeway across the Strait of Canso, Reconstruction Minister Howe stated in the House of Com- mons today.

Answering a question by Dr. M. E. McG-arry, (Inverness, Richmondt, Mr. Howe said no report of the surge; of the Strait had been com-

"It has been found so far physi- cally impossible to complete the report by reason of the difficulty of taking borin s or soundings in the Strait," sal Mr. Howe.

"The water is 200 feet deep, the tide in the Strait is five knots an hour, and as an engineering feat it. has been found impossible of solution so far."

The investigation is proceeding. the Minister said, and he hoped that the report would be submit- ted in due course.

Because oi the fact that the current is bffective at great depth, it. was learned, Government en- gineers hold some doubts that the causeway will be practical. al- though the project is locked on with favor as a reconstruction "li,, as and when" job to be undertaken, when public works are required to- take up the unemployment. slack. l Former Premier MacMillan oi", Nova Scotia had estimated the causeway would cost 120,000,000 as against annual operation cost of the C.N.R. car ferry of $750000.

b _ Discussed Yesterday

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 -— (AP) -—’I'he backlash of Hiroshima

death bomb rolled through Congress today with these mixed results: 1. The House of Representatives military committee heard a de- manci for legislation that would "prevent the President from going to a conference in a. few months and Uadxl 0d’! lvtom bomb) score ." 2. A Senate committee was ad- vised by Dr. Harlow Shapley, Harvard University astonomer, that “it is filfish, and perhaps dangerous," conceal a secret that; "can be of value in the whole wor "

Top witnesses before the house committee were War Secretary Patterson and Mai-Gen. Leslie R. Groves‘, commander of the "Man. hattan district" organization that produced the Hiroshima holocaust.

Several commilttee members de- clared they wanted a law — not President, Truman's word alone -- that the atom bomb will be kept secrelt from all but Canada and Britain who share the secret.

‘This sentiment was voiced at a hearing on a bill creating an Atomic Energy Commission with grealter power than any other co ion in the United States history.

Don't Want. Leaks

Rep. R. Ewing Thomason (Dem- Tex) noted than; the bill gives final say to the President on dis- closure oi’ atomic secrets, not to Congress. and he declared:

“I don't want this secret leaking out to any other country. Let's write it in, so this secret will be retained."

Secretary Patterson told the,

committee that the proposed com. mission, representing all phases of

l

the country's life, is necessary be-l

ca/use no one individual should have such responsibility. Even the w . nlng of the war seems minor. he

said. compared to the importance‘

of full control over the power of the atom.

Gen. Groves. with his knowledge of ‘the bomb, bore the brunt of the questioning.

He said:

“If Hitler had waited to develop this bomb. then started his attack. the war would have been over m two or three days and the world capital would be in Berlin."

Na Room For Mistake

‘Yhus, Gen». Groves said this commission should be so well sup- plied with authority that it can do almost anything considered nec- essary at a moment's notice. l-Ie said there isn't any room to make any mistakes on the atom bomb because "fhe first mistake may be national suicide.”

Gen. Groves said under question. ing, there were 50me foreigners em- ployc-d on the bomb and there was nothing to prevent them from go. ing abroad and divulglnk 501118 0f the secrets. But then he added that the “ingenuity of the Amer- ican worker and management is a secret I don't think any other na. tion has."

Dr. Shapley. testifying at e Joint session of senate militagv and com- merce subcommittees. said it is “a bit unrealistic" to tall; about hold- ing on to such secrets as the atomic bomb.

“We've underestimated bow widely the secret of atomic energy and industrial know.how is dis- tributed.” he declared. He re- marked that t-he technidllic B5 de- veloped in Germany “ls wholly known in Russia at this time

future war of acleniiflc destruction.

In an introduction to his bien- nial report to the Secrclary of’ War, Gen. Marshall commented that the United States could take "little credit" for staying off the disaster threatening it in 1942. from which it has emerged triumphant.

The stand of the British and Soviet peoples coupled with the enemy‘s stupidity at crucial mo- ments, saved the unprepared coun- try from a war on its Iown soil, the General said.

Now, he continued, there was a. certainty that if the peace of the world could not be maintained, a. new war would be waged with weapons of almost unbelievable power and reach and if the United States could not prevent that ca‘.- astrophe, it could at least be ready for it. Not only the atormc bomb. but air weapons with the speed of sound and unprecedented destructive power and accuracy of operation, have left any spot on the globe open to attack from any country.

Some of these aerial weapons. involving bombs of 46.000 unds and possibly 100,000 poun s. he
