" Dairy Association has conducted "id swept cottages, boathouses and piers before it Thursday in the worst ice jam on the lower Nia- garn river in nearly two decades. The combined efforts of U.S. army engineers. the U.S. coast guard and swarms of local resi- dents were inadequate to halt the destruction as ice continued to plunge over Niagara Falls and down into the jam. The destruction area was centred in the final six-mile stretch of the river before it empties into Lake Ontario. The shores were a shambles from Lewlston down to Ft. Niagara on the U.S. side and from Queenston to Nlagara-on-th- Lake on the Canadian side. - The jamming ice threatened the 75-foot high Lewiston suspension bridge. Ice was packed under the span and officials estimated it was rising about its feet an hour.

DISCLOSES NEW PLAN The newspaper said Russia had submitted "a proposal providing for the conclusion of an interna- tional convention on armaments- reduction and on the banning of atomic. hydrogen and other typ of weapons of mass destruction." "Over a period of six months or one yesr," it quoted the plan. "the states will reduce their arm- aments and armed forces by 50 per cent of the agreed limits and also their allocations for miu- purpose -' Reduction by the remaining 50 per cent would be accompanied by abolition of stocks of nuclear wan- then.

The long-awaited announcement of plans to construct an experimental reactor to produce electricity was made Thursday in the Commons by Trade Minister Howe and in the Ontario legislature by Mr. Howe said the plant. ex- pected to produce 21.000 kilowatts of electric power. will be pt I site to be decided jointly by On- tario hydro and Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.. which operates the Chalk River. 0nt.. atomic project. The plant would be located within easy reach of the Chalk River project because it is the centre of nuclear information in Canada. . SHARE PROJECT Ontario's bydro's share of the project would be between 33,000,- 000 and Canadian Gen- eral Electric would absorb a "sizeable" portion of the cost and the remainder would be paid by the crown-owned AECL. Mr. Howe said detailed design of the reactor will start imme- diately with s view to completion of construction in mid-1058. The plant was not expected to gen- erate electrlcity economically but its operation would provide in- formation requlred for construc- tion of an economic plant. Under a three-way agreement. AECL would be responsible for the specifications and cost of the reactor. Ontario hydro would pay for the site and the conventional part of the plant. including the huildlng to house the reactor.
