Hellyer The RCAF now has avail able to It in Europe an explo slve power comparable to sev eral thousand times that used at Hiroshima he told the Com mons The single atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese city in 1945 was about 50 kilotons the equivalent of 50000 tons of TNT A multiplication of this by only 2000 the smallest factor under Mr Hellyer s rule of thumb of several thousand times gives the size of the RCAF nuclear dumps as 100 000000 tons of TNT In other words each RCAF CF 104 Starfighter bomber In Europe can carry a nuclear bomb of about one megaton the equivalent of 1 000000 tons of TNT In the second World War It would have required 100000 bombers to carry 1000000 tons of TNT The six bomber squadrons comprised 18 Starfighters each or a total of 108 planes The four remaining squadrons based at Baden Scelllngen and Zwelbruecken In southwest Ger many will comprise some 92 bombers sources Indicated Thursday The American nuclear war heads on the Canadian bases in Europe are

miles southwest of here Thurs day and dumped 280000 pounds of rotten fish spoiled by a dock tieup at the northern coastal city The Prince Rupert Fishing Vessel Owneis Association has launched a damage suit against the United Fishermens and Al lied workeis Union for loss of the fish and for time lost by the trawleis Slwreworkei members of tho union refused to unload the fish which was branded as hot caigo because trawler crews on the British Columbia coast are striking for a better catch sharing agreement Attempts were made to find a way of unloading the fish and reduce them to animal feed after they were declared unfit for human consumption but they eventually bocame too bad even for animal consumption Toster Husoy owners as soclatlon president valued the fish at more than 15000 This amount plus damages for the time lost by the enforced idle ness of the vessels will be sought In a Supreme Court ac Hon Mr Husoy said the assocla tlon liad not taken action to have the union cited for contempt af ter the union had Ignored a Supreme Court Injunction direct ing union officials to order the boats unloaded He said a lack of government action Is to blame for the dev eloping explosive situation on the Prince Rupert waterfront Our waterfront Is on tho verge of bieaUng out into vio violence � lence because of hatieds that havo developed said Mr Husoy If the government had taken action the law would have been shown to be enforced and people would have been con tent ogy to serve Its people Latin America will expand programs to improve public health Latin America will ellml nate unnecessary military ex pendltures A discordant note persisted to the end coming largely from President Otto Arosemena of Ecuador He claimed others felt as he did that the United States should engage In a dollar give away which would be something like a Marshall plan for Latin America He also accused the US of spending billions in Viet nam and neglecting its Latin neighbors Later he and Johnson met prl vately and embraced as they parted The Ecuadorean called Johnson a very human person and said he believed their view points could easily be harmon lzcd Johnson said the talk Improved our relationship and our understanding Johnson promised the presl dents he would ask the US Congress for a substantial coii trlbution toward establishing the Common Market They got a US promise to consider ft eelng restrictions on more than 250000000 In aid funds and a promise to explore iosslbllltles for prefejentlal treatment of Latin American goods in world markets not specifically In US markets alone This will require co oper atlon of other advanced Indus trial nations and the United States said it would seek this I Hydro Projects clashed with policy statements made by Resources Minister Ray Willlston two weeks ago Mr Willlston said the prov provinces � inces power needs had been underestimated and It would take the equivalent of the Peace River project every eight years to keep up with the demand He earlier mentioned possible hydro electric developments on northern BCs Iskut River and the headwaters of the Yukon with a combined output of 1800 000 kilowatts You cant use nuclear power plants for flood control said the resources minister Plan Planning � ning is going ahead on further major projects equally as big as the Peace and Columbia COOLER TEMPERATURES HIT THIS
