By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reports said the RAF planes were testing a British-developed device to counteract radar detection.

GRIM FACES
Railway Strike Theme of Anxious Eastern Talks
MONTREAL (CP) � In Monlrea and Ottawa today, the threaten ed railway strike was being anx iously discussed.
Talks between government, un ion leaders, and the heads of Canada's two great railways Sat urday in Montreal were, appar ently fruitless.
No one would say so, bu.t the grim expressions of cabinet min isters and the disputants made it clear.
The joint negotiating committee of the 15 rail unions who have threatened to strike Dec. 3 was to meet today.
Presumably the government was also discussing the stalemate.
The unions, of the 111,000 workers who do not run the trains, say they will accept nothing but the terms proposed by a conciliation board, which recommended an average wage increase of 14 cents an hour.
The railways say they cannot afford any wage increase at all. Labor Minister Starr, Transport Minister Balcer, and Postmaster-General Hamilton talked Saturday to Frank Hall, chief negotiator for the unions, and then to railways president Donald Gordon of the CNR and Nor ris R. Crump of the CPR.
Premier Bennett has been asked to instruct the Department of Highways to start immediately on construction of the proposed Eraser River bridge.
A telegram to that effect has been sent to Bennett by the Prince George Board of Trade.
The board's president, John Morrison, hopes to receive a response when he meets with the cabinet Wednesday as a director of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. He will be in Victoria along with otiier delegates to present resolutions from the chamber.
Mr. Morrison said today the telegram was sent to Mr. Bennett rather than Highways Minister P. A. Gaglardi because he felt the bridge job is largely a matter, of financing, and the premier is also finance minister.
"I think Gaglardi is all for the bridge," said Mr. Morrison. Earlier, the highways minister expressed the bridge project would get underway this winter, in an: swering a similar request from the local winter work committee.
The Board of Trade requested a start on the project "in view of the acute unemployment situa-

"As this work must be carrie out during low water, physica conditions are ideal at the pres ent time. Key personnel am labor is abundantly available and should make the cost less than in future years," the wire sug gested.
"We feel that this winter wil be the most critical regarding unemployment and the develop ment of the great Peace River power development and the pro posed Pacific Northern Railway should alleviate unemployment in the winters to come.
"Construction of this bridge now would be a tremendous boost to business here and would also be a 'fine example for private enterprise and' other public bodes to follow the splendid initiative of your government." �
A copy of the telegram was ent to Lands and Forests Minster Ray Williston, member for ort George.

India to Shoot Red Planes Crossing Border in Future, PM Nehru Declares
NEW DELHI (AP) � Prime Minister Nehru said today India certainly would shoot down Chinese Communist planes that cross India's, border "when we can do it." But it would be very difficult, he added.
Nehru took his toughest stand
ct against border troubles with he Chinese in answer to ques-ions in Parliament. SOME CONCERN
A number of opposition mem-ers expressed concern about eports of repeated Chinese vio-ations of India's air space over
e Himalayas.
The government revealed last week it had protested to Peking
over 101 air violations in the last eight months. The Chinese rejected the protests, saying the planes were not theirs.
Nehru said it is not easy to identify the planes but nevertheless "it is open to us to shoot them down." Later, he added that it would "not be a very easy matter" to down the aircraft bu "we will certainly do it when we can do it."
Nehru said, however, that the government is using diplomatic means to try lo halt the viola tions. MANY PLANES

This year, as in the previous two Reindeers, the airmen arc assisted in playing Santa clans by the women of Baldy Hughes, and by members of the Prince George Lions Club.
Tho flight, expected this year to be made Dec. 14-17, will be made by a USAF transport plane from Geiger Field, near Spokane, or McCbord Air Force Base,
Wash., through approval of Division Commander General Von Shores, 25th Air Division, Me-Chord AFB.

The Indian air force has sevi oral squadrons of Brilish-builtr Hunter jet fighters which are believed to be as good as anything China is flying. However, the bulk of India's small air force is composed of older planes.
