Will Aisiffe Used To Test Guided ijlssiles OTTAWA. April 19 - (OP) - A vasi, new aerial bombing range. to be cetabished across Canada's hin- terland, will eventually become a testing ground for guided-missile weapons of war. This was learned today as De- fence Minister Claxton announced completion of arrangements with Alberta and Saskatchewan for ca- tablishment of the big l't.C.A.F. development in their northern areas. It will cover thousands of square miles of territory and sost an estimated 314,000,000. Huge Area Needed The Air Force said the huge area was needed for training with mod- crn jet planes with their long-range rocket and cannon armament. It indicated the new range will fit into Canada's scheme of things as the principal ilschool" for airmen of her North Atlantic allies. But a spokesman in close touch with Canada's scientific research said it was probably guided missiles would be tested there within the next few years, ”pehaps sooner." He indicated this was in the long- i'ange defence plan. Canada is beginning in experi- ments in guided missiles, long stud- ied in the United States and by Britain at the big Woomera range in Australia. she recently assemb- led a scientific guided-missiles staff at Valcartier. Que., which is still in the laboratory stage. Short Range Rockets Eventually the Valcartier re- search, being carried on in co-oper- ation with Britain and the U. S. will produce weapons which will have to be tested. They will be of the shorter range type, rather than ions-range rockets said to be the aim of research in Australia. Thus. the spokesman said, the "SW ll0I'thEl'n Prairie range with its possibilities of almost indefinite ex- pansion in a northward direction would be ideal for carrying the Vaicartier research into the test- ting stage. g The new range will be roughly 100 miles northeast of Edmonton and centred on Primrose Lake. It will stretch 115 mice from east to west and 40 miles from north to South. ' No Prosecutions In HALIFAX. April 19 -(GP) - An R. C. A. F.

He expressed belief that the sto eventually would come back rt: Scotland, saying: . "We don't consider the matter closed until the stone is back in Scotland . . . "I am still hopeful that the Church of Scotland will speak for the people and we that the stone is returned to the custody of the church."

But Shaworoas said he doesn't believe "tha public interest re- quires" hlm to prosecute. i l A Scottish Conservative member of Parliament, Henderson Stuart, asked Shawcross whether the gov- ernment intends to keep the stone in the Abbey.
