H. K. Kippenberg- er. The project has been divided into and complete with photographs, maps, diagrams and drawings. The third section will be the offi- cial history proper, which will deal with the New Zealand armed ser- vices overseas and at home, prison- ers of war and civilian internees, medical and dental histories," poli- tical, economic, industrial, financial and social developments, and the work of voluntary patriotic organ- izations.

"Many people are suffering from colitis because they have eaten 'pir- ate' ice cream," said J. Feltham, secretary of the Ice Cream Alli- ance, which has as its members the larger makers and retailers. "We have evidence that ice cream is being made in back rooms, cel- lars and out-houses under filthy conditions, It is made by racketeers who have no allocation of sugar and fats from the Food Ministry." The Alliance estimated that 560, 000 of the 3,000,000 ice creams sold daily in London are either germ- laden or of bad quality. The Ministry of Health is known to have drawn up stricter rules for the heating and cooling of ice cream mix to prevent deterioration in 'preparation but finds it difficult to enforce them or other regulations in "back room factories" whose pro- duct is sold from nameless barrows. A News Chronicle reporter who had three samples he bought from wayside vendors analyzed by experts got the following reports: No. 1--"This product cannot be described as ice cream, as it is little more than frozen custard powder... has been prepared from wheat and potato flour with dried milk, and'a very small amount of fat." No. 2--"The high amount of water is noteworthy and the sample is of poor genera] quality. It has been from wheat and porator flour, dried milk, sugar and a neu- tral fat, with traces of artificial col- No, 3--'"This is a remarkable pro- duct which does not melt at room temperature and consists of mater- fal of . the ..confectionery-cream type."

WELL-KNOWN CAPTAIN DIES IN AUSTRALIA Auckland, N.Z. Sept. 10--(CP)-- The ashes of a mariner well-known on the Canadian West coast, Cap- tain William Martin, have at his own request been scattered at sea over the wreck of his old ship, the liner Niagara. As one of the senior captains of the Canadian-Austra- lasian Line, Captain Martin made many voyages between Vancouver and Australia and New Zealand in the Niagara and other vessels He was in command of the Niag- ara when in 1940 sne struck a Ger- man mine off the New Zealand coast while en route from Auckland to Vancouver, She sank two hours later in 438 feet of water Issue of War" Medals Delayed Ottawa, Sept. 10--(CP)--As for any eager Beavers who've been wondering what the brass hats are going about their war medals, the word from Defence Headquarters is "just_be patient, boys, just be pa- tient." From those who make ribbons and medals their business, the word is that "distribution of medals and campaign stars will not be made for some time." Specifically, they let it be known that some resigns have not even been chosen, that most of the dies of those that have been picked have not been struck and that when the. time. comes far distribue tion they will have to go out to the millions of veterans who fought in the Commonwealth forces in the World War, The large majority of the medals --such as the Italy, France and Germany, Africa and other stars, the war medal, and the 1939-45 star --will be created and started on these way from London's War Of- ce, The design for the Canadian vol- untary service medal was chosen | more than a year ago but Canada hs not started to make this lone, singularly national award either. As for the MBE's and O.B.E.s and C.B.E's which were announced in the recent King's birthday hon- ors list, the word on those is that they are distributed by the central chancellery of the Order of Knight- bood in London and that they, too, may be some time in coming, Meanwhile for those who can't walt it is possible to buy the rib- bons in some stores or, on applica- tion, to get them through Defence Headquarters.

The sult was filed yesterday in United States district court by El- dorado Mining and Refining Limit- ed of Canada, which claimed that up to May, 1943 it possessed the sole means in the United States and Canada for extracting uranium. It seeks to recover more than $2,500, 000 from two former employees and two defendant corporations, The complainant: charged that the two men and two corporations conspired to cheat Eldorado of law- ful profits amounting -to -$2,485,377 by various "fraudulent schemes" since 1942. : Defendants Named Named as defendants were Carl B. French, secretary-treasurer and a director of Eldorado from 1939 to 1945; Boris Pregel, sole purchasing agent, who worked with Canadian scientists and engineers on the de- velopment of the atom bomb, and the Canadian Radium. and Uran- ium Corporation and International Rare Metals Refinery, Inc. y In October, 1942, the complaint stated, the United States govern- ment purchased uranium content ore from the African Metals Cor- poration and proposed to the two individual defendants that Edo- rado extract the uranium. "Thereupon," the complaint stated, "the defendants contrived a fraudulent scheme or plan diverting business from Eldorado." The men, it said, conspired to tell the govern- ment that Eldorado was obliged by contract to undertake all refining operations jointly with the defend- ant corporations of which Pregel "was and still is owner." Lawyers for the defendants, de- nied in a statement that there is any basis for the charges of the complaint, be called upon for rtionalising their IRON AND STEEL BOARD 15 NAMED British Industrialists Make Up Majority of Board Personnel London--(CP)---The government named a board dominated by indus- trialists to oversee the moderniza- tion of the British iron and steel industry. Industrialists recently agreed to serve on the board with the un- derstanding that they would not advice na- own Government acceptance of this condition has given rise to some speculation that the mdustry may have been taken off the national- imation list at least for the dura- tion--up to four more years--of the present Parliament, A government spokesman said re- cently, however, that "public own- sup is going to come . , . before Sir Archibald Forbes, a director of Spillers, Ltd, was appointed to the £8,500 ($34,000)-a-year chair- manship of the board. He served as war-time controller of repair, equipment and overseas supplies. Others named were Andrew Cal- lighan, general secretary of the Na- tional Union of Blast Furnace-men; Lincoln Evans, general secretary of the Iron and Steel Trade Confeder- ation; Sir Alan Barlow, second secretary of the Treasury; G. H, Latham, chairman of Whitehead Iron and Steel Company and presi dent-glect of the British Iroh and Steel Federation; and Richard Mather, chairman of Skinningrove Iron Company. All members ex- cepting the chairman will serve on a part-time basis and get £1,000 ($4,000) a year. Chief responsibility of the board, which reports to the ministry of supply, will be to "review and supervise programs of development needed for the modernization of the iron and steel industry and to watch over the execution of ap- proved schemes in such programs." «Sven -4f this .-basic MODERN NAVY GAN SURVIVE ATOMIC BOMB Some Adjustments Needed For Protection of Ships and Personnel By HOAARD W. BLAKESLEE New York, Sept, 11.--(OP)-- Both Bikini bombs, in the air and under water, showed that man has not vet bullt a warship that cannot hé sunk by either kind, and he is not yet sure of an atomic bomb that cer- tainly can sink one more than a mile away, Next spring's bomb, about 8,000 feet beneath the surface of the Pa- cific, may increase the known dis- tance at which warshi can be sunk, But even in that case, there may be a knotty engineering prob. lem of how to sink a bomb to that depth: before a smart naval captain can run his fast ship out of range. Unless the depth bomb greatly ex- ceeds present expectations, navies will be able to continue to operate in an atqmic war with alterations in designs and tactics. 'This applies to present size bombs, Some day they wil] be bigger. The first protection is distance. The atomic bomb's destructive power falls off very rapidly with distance, There is no mysterious force of nature that amplifies this destructive hy Dispersion is the first antidote against atomic bombs. Dispersion is far easier at sea than on land, In fact, the normal dispersion of warships in the second Great War, whether in harbors or at sea, would protect most fighting ships from be- ing sunk or put out of action by any one bomb. Must Meet Three Tests Future warships will be design- ed to meet three atomic bomb con- ditions, One is blast that can twist inch-thick steel of present strength at half-a-mile, but will not crumple present armour plate at that dist- ance, Another is flash heat that melted some of the top structures of ships within a thousand feet at Bikini Lagoon. This melting dam- age was not serious, but the flash effects on topside personnel would have been crippling with present naval design. The third design problem is to meet radioactive rays, something new in warfare, This probably would involve both design and tactics. The obvious approach is a struc- ture with somewhat the cigar shape and design of a submarine, Modern submarines essentially are one hull inside angther, built to resist pres- sure, That shape and structure al- 2 1s ax adapted to resist to some extent the enormous pressure pul on ships by atomic bomb explosions, "Hoods" Over Warships design - ciple is not adopted, it is likely to be approached in appearance hoods over the tops of warships to protect personnel, Hoods need not cover the big guns which apparent- ly were unscathed at Bikini, Even small guns, down to 20 mm, were not visibly damaged. 'What this protection will be made of is problematical. The way that tank tire treds withstood both heat and blast without even slight signs of damage on the ' Bikini target ships, suggests that for some pur- poses someth! besides steel may be used for hooding. None of the construction prob- lems appears insoluble, But no construction now predictable is ex- pected to save a warship that gets either a direct hit or a near miss from an atomic bomb, JOB INSURANCE FUND TOTALS $328,304,394 Ottawa, Sept. 11--(CP)--The Un- employment Insurance Fund stood at $328,304,304 in July 81, the Une employment Insurance Commission announced yesterday.

A toll-bridge, the great structure which took six years to build with 50,000 tons of special steel manu- factured in England, is slightly more than two miles long. 'When its approaches, including 285-foot granite pylons at either end of its arched central span, were completed in 1032, the total cost was about $32 000,000, To Sydney residents, "our bridge" is not only an object of pride but an indispensable traffic route to the north shore of the harbor where thousands have homes from which they are able to travel in to city Jobs by fast suburban train, The bridge, carries four railway lines in addition to its six-lane au- tomobile roadway and two footways, Its capacity is 138 trains, 6,000 mo- tor vehicles and 40,000 pedestrians an hour, ° Its 448-foot height from the Wa or punts the largest ig visi g ney to pass under it easily, and from the footways, travellers get a view of the sprawling exe ceeded only by the view an airplane, When it was first Srvlected early in the century, at a when hare bor travel was largely by ferry, there was also talk of tunnelling a route to the north shore, Now dominating the waterfront, the bridge lighted at dusk can be seen from downtown areas miles apart, To Australian servicemen returning from the wars the bridge has represented the front gate to their homeland,
