Sir John Cockcroft, head of Brit- ain's atomic research establishment, has spent two weeks in Canada and the United States, holding discussions aimed at overcoming the difficulties preventing renewed atomic co- operation.

Plan Development 0f New Power Chain Quebec (CP)--A 1,000,000 horse- power project that will link the four corners of the province is to be started in eastern Quebec. Premier Duplessis told his weekly press conference yesterday that the Quebec Hydro Commis- sion will begin preliminary work on the Bersimis River, on 'the St. Lawrence River north shore, within the next two years. Producing 55 per cent of the Can- adian power output, Quebec will be crisscrossed by power networks on completion of the Bersimis dam. 'clares that the secrets of the hydro- gen bomb will be revealed to Bri- tain by the U. S. under a "new plan' for exchanging information. The Daily Mail, while less def- inite, says 'it seems likely, once the barriers are removed, that there will be a free interchange, even including an exchange of in- formation on atomic weapons." The only recent official reference to renewed British-American ato- mic co-operation was made Thurs- day when the Eari of Birkenhead, & government spokesman, told the Holse of Lords that the two coun- tries have been pooling their know- ledge in research on atomic power for ships. Commenting on the London news- paper reports, a Supply Ministry spokesman said today: "It is difficult to see how a full exchange of information could take place without revision of the (U.S.) McMahon act of 1946 which pro- hibits the exchange of atomic in- formation and materials with any other country." The lack of British-U, S. atomic co-operation has long been a sore point in Britain, partly as a matter of national pride and partly be- cause of a feeling that mutual con- fidence should have flourished ATOM SECRETS (Continued on page 2) 'Nova Scotia Wants to Tax Female Jobs By THE CANADIAN PRESS Women of Nova Scotia who left the kitchen for the office are going to pay for the move if a bill introduced in the provincial legis- lature is adopted. The bill, introduced yesterday by Municipal Affairs Minster R. M. Fielding, would give all towns power to impose a maximum tax of $10 a year on working women who earn more than $1,000 annu- ally. Previously, each municipality had to apply for the right separ- ately. Halifax and Dartmouth al- ready have the right to impose the tax, but it is exercised only in Halifax. "Parliamentary Blackmail' Supplementary Estimates Start Battle in House Ottawa (CP) -- The Commons went through its annual family quarrel last night. The blow - up concerned the government's supplementary esti- mates, last-minute appropriations brought down every year to meet expenses not provided for when the main estimates are approved in the previous year. The Progressive Conservatives complained that the government wasn't giving members enough time to study the supplementaries, which total $246,500,000. They must be passed by midnight Monday, the end of the government's 1951-52 fis- cal year.

Mr. Abbott observed tartly that if thousands of civil servants don't get their cheques on time it will be because the Opposition has delayed them.

William V. Holohan will remain suspended until U.S. courts <eter- mine whether two former U.S. servicemen can be brought here for trial, the presiding judge sald today.

Aldo Icardi of Pittsburgh, Pa., and the two partisans, Gualtiero Tozzini and Giuseppe Mannini. Judge Lucio Galterio of Ver- bania's tribunal, who signed the extradition requests for Lo Dolce and Icardi, said the four will be tried at one time extradition of the Americans is granted. If extradition is denied, however, the trial of the two Italian partisans will be resumed and the two Ameri- cans will be tried in absentia. Holohan's body was recovered from Lake Orta, in northern Italy, after the war. Italian officials said witnesses blamed his aides, Lo Dolce and Icardi, for the slaying. Both maintained their innocence, and Icardi said the major was tilled in an ambush by German soldiers. The pair were charged in taly with killing Holohan and stealing up to $100,000 in gold and urrency which was reported in his ossession at the time. slap Costs Janadian 3,000 Poynds Nassau (CP)--Movie actor Errol lynn was awarded 5,000 pounds of America.

And it was the girl who "put the finger" on him. Wilkie, 42, squat and dark, es- caped from the Ontario Mental Hospital at Penetanguishene for the fifth time July 19, 1950. He had been committed for the arson mur- der of his wife and child at Owen Sound in 1933. Police said Wilkie went to Winni- peg and took the name Andy Mc- Beth. In a boarding house there he met the dark beauty whom pol- ice identified only as Shirley. The | two lived together and three months ago came to Vancouver. Three days ago, police were tip- ped off that the couple was living in a one-room shack in Vancouver's squalid East End. They went to make the arrest but Wilkie was not at home. When Shirley was told Wilkie's true iden- tity, police said, she agreed to act as bait for a police trap. Wilkie, knowingly, walked into the trap four times to try to per- suade the girl to escape witn him. Three times in a row, the trap feared the girl might be caught in any exchange of gunfire.

The big target is the harnessing of the atom for power, something Dr. C. J. Mackenzie--Canada's Mr. Atom--sees coming within the next five or 10 years. The shift in command will come Tuesday with a minimum of for- mality. However, it is an impor- tant milestone in the 10-year Cana- dian courtship of the atom. It means that the greatest expansion in Canada's atomic program is be- ginning to take shape. With work started on the new Chalk River reactor or nuclear fur- nace, Dr. Mackenzie says he now will be able to devote himstlf full- time to "preparing for the greatly- increased activity" that will swing into full stride when the reactor is MORE ACTIVITY (Continued on page 2) the government, was ready to give it | The firms are Canada Steamship the price relief industry has said | Lines, N.

"I suggest you might string these negotiations with Quebec mills along a bit until you get a more healthy industry to strike against," he said. He made the suggestion while Heavy snow and a biting wind made for the worst conditions in the history of the race, first rowed in 1829. Choppy water and stinging spray combined to make it as uncomfortable as possible for crews and spectators. The official time was 20 minutes 23 seconds, a slow time but credit- able in view of the weather. It was the closest finish--with the official margin being a "canvas"-- since 1877 when the contest was pronounced a dead heat. Diehard bands of spectators-- well short of the 1,000,000 who would have turned out in good weather--clomped through the | snow-covered towpaths along the river to follow the straining crews. Hundreds of thousands of other Britons followed the race in cozy living rooms or cheery pubs, watching the television screen of trying to catch the commentators' running account through barking static. Today, the crews broke cleanly and evenly as the referee dropped the flag at the start at Putney. BOAT RACE (Continued on page 2) BLACKLISTING BY TEACHERS SAID ILLEGAL Kingston, Ont. (CP)-- Eastern Ontario school trustees were told yesterday that blacklisting of school boards by the Teachers' Federation is illegal. Harold Wagner of Waterloo, vice-president of the Ontario Urban and Rural School Trustees Associ- ation, told delegates of 26 boards of education to ignore blacklisting by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Delegates unanimously com- mended the-trustees association for its brief to the minister of educa- tion this week, calling for an end | to the closed shop in the teaching | profession.
