March 13 - (CP) - The Crown today closed its case against Mrs. Arthur Pitre, 42, charged with murder in the Quebec Airline time-bomb case. The prosecution's last witnesses were experts who conducted cheni- ical analysis on debris of the Can- adian Paclfic Airlines plane which exploded in mid-air Sept. 9. 1949. killing 23 persons. The experts said the analyzed debris showed traces of a dynamite explosion. Mrs. Pitre is the third person charged with murder in the case. .1. Albert Guay was hanged for plotting the bombing to get rid of his wife, Rita. Genereux Ruest, brother of Mrs. Pitre, was convict- ed of manufacturing the clock-like dynamite detonstor in the tinie- bomb and sentenced to be hanged Friday. His execution will he stay- ed because his appeal in the case is to be heard in April. The experts repeated evidence they gave previously at Ouay's and R.uest's trials last year. . The debris analysed was from the left forward luggage compart- ment of the plane, where the time-bomb parcel delivered by Mrs. Pitre was placed. Apart from traces of dynamite. the experts also mentioned marks made on the debris by piece: from an alarm clock of the type which Ruest admitted using to make the time-bomb.

On D-Day. while returning to his base from a train-wrecking sortie on the continent. he found himself high above the invasion fleet. His account of Allied forces storming Normandy beach-head was flashed around the world. A former R. C. A. F. command- officer once remarked: "Every- body knows Cookie." And one of the things which contributed to the youthful pilot's prominence in his squadron was his expert alr- manahip.

For anxious min- utes he circled the fieid while emergency crews waited below. . month ago. then he brought the fighter in for a perfect "flap" landing.

Revealed At (By Howard W. Blalrealoo Assoc- iated Press Science Editor NEW YORK. March 13-(AP)- The Greenglass atom bomb. a spy's idea of the real atom bomb, was bored to lhe world today. This,Greenglass bomb is partly imaginative stuff and partly real. The real part was one of the most closely-guarded secrets. until to- day. It is enough to tell any atom bomb-maker how overcome some of his most serious difficul- ties. The secrecy was lifted-but only tempormlly-at the atom spy trial here yesterday. No court record was kept. Reporters were told to use their judgment Morning papers published extended ac- counts. Thc sccrt-is were shown in some sketches made by David Greongiass. confessed spy. at Los Alamos, N.M.. where he worked and where all United States atom bombs have been designed. He described the atom bomb as a round object. made of three concentric shells. surrounded by a girdle of detonators. The outer shell, he said. was plastic but filled with fairly heavy metal barium. The purpose of this shell. he said. is to protect the girdle of detonators from radio- active rays coming from deep in- side this bomb. The second shell. inward. was made of plutonium. the A mic bomb xplosive. Inside it was a third shell. if Beryllium. This inner shell. said Greengiass, was to upply the neutrons to set off the plutonium explosion. The damaging secret is the girdle of detonators. The tip-off to their importance is their de- scription by Greenglass-both in sketches and by name-as flat lenses. a mechanism which chan- nels tha direction of an eXill0Il0!I- An engineer could tell from the drawings of the lenses how to reporters were-not shown these drawlnsm All In Mexico YORK.

March 13 --(Special) -Transport Minister Chevrier virtually promised in the House of commons today that there will be shuttle service by the Borden- Tcrmcntine ferry vessels for the summer season this year. The Minister's pronouncement was in reply to a question asked by J. Watson MacNaught, Liberal member for Prince and parlia- mentary assistant to Fisheries Minister Mayhew. When Mr. Ma.cNaught asked if any decision had been reached as to whether such a shuttle service as was in operation last year would be given in 1951. Mr. Chev- rler replied: "The honorable King's (Mr. Kickham) and the honorable member for Prince spoke to me about that matter some days ago. While no decision member for has been reached as to the oper- ation of the shuttle service during the summer months. because of the efficient manner in which it operated during the last tourist season I think favorable consider- ation can be given this year to the operation of a. service similar to that which was in effect last year." The Guardian learned that it is likely that this year's ferry shut- tic service will begin about June 15 as it did in 1950. Exact. date will depend. officials say. on when the Abegweit can go into drydock. receive the necessary attention and repairs there and return to its . base at Borden from June 15 to about September 15, it is altogeth- er likely that both the Abegweit and the Prince Edward Island will handle the traffic between the Island and the mainland as was done last year.
