Liberal defence critic Paul Hellyer said Russian atomic subs can "swim circles" around Canadian destroyer escorts and scoffed at RCN exercises with a 20-year-old American sub which "no one in his right mind would Walter Pitman (NDP--Peter- borough) said government ex- planations had '"'an air of un- reality." Mr. Hellyer agreed and said Canadians have "no feel- ing of comfort" that the RCN could seek out and destroy even present subs -- let alone future ones. An angry Defence Minister Harkness said the statements were wrong. Canada's anti-sub vessels--particularly when they are equipped with helicopters for quicker sub - sightings-- "have the capability of destroy- ing submarines at any time." * Mr. Harkness said the ships are in a state of immediate readiness.

UP TO NATO "The Canadian Navy is not going to protect Canada by it- self," Mr. Harkness reminded the House. Protection of Canada and other NATO countries would be up to NATO navies. "It is a Attack Navy Inability To Combat Red Subs Mr. Pitman were {trying to "shake a complacent govern- ment out of its complacency." The concern they raised fell directly on few ears. As the Commons continued its defence debate there were at times only about 25 members in the 265- seat chamber. They were almost outnumbered by 20 or so de- fence department officials in the gallery. Mr. Hellyer said the govern- ment continues to build de- stroyer escorts which are "no Modifying Improving FN Rifles OTTAWA (CP) -- The army's FN rifles are being modified and improved at a cost of about match for the potential enemy," what plans were there to meet future threats? TAKES TIME Mr. Harkness accused the Liberal MP of following a "scrap this, scrap that" line. It took a long time to design and build a new vessel. The de- stroyer escorts were among the world's finest. "We have all kinds of plans," he added. "There are no plans which have been definitely de- cided upon, approved and funded which I can announce at this time." The persistent opposition grill- ing frayed tempers near the close of the night sitting. Answering doubts raised by W. H. McMillan (L--Welland), the minister defended the Bo- marc B anti-aircraft missile as well-proven and "highly success- ful" as shown by recent Amer- ican tests. $16 per rifle, Defence Minister Harkness informed the Com-| mons Thursday night. Judy LaMarsh (L -- Riagara/ Falls) had asked him about a report that the rifles were being| withdrawn--"by virtue of the fact that an error has been made by Canadian Arsenals Limited" -- so they can have their breach blocks modified. The "alleged cost" of the mo- difications, she said, was $1,000,- 000. Mr. Harkness said a modifi- cation is being made because ammunition from some 'of the other NATO countries causes "'a bit of a blow-back" when used in Canadian-produced FNs.

Authorities in London viewed the vigorous speeches by Fi- nance Minister Fleming and Trade Minister Hees essentially as restatements of the Cana- dian government's position. Fleming expressed the fear that Britain now was on a slippery slope and there was no possibility of withdrawal from negotiations with The Six. Hees said Commonwealth ties would be weakened by any Brit- ish action which adversely af- fected Commonwealth trade even though it benefited Brit- ain. He urged that Common- wealth preferential access to the British market be main- tained unchanged. These speeches presage a Britain Won't Alter Plan Now Accra will not likely cause Britain to change her plans about negotiating with the com- munity formed by France, Ger- many, Italy and the Benelux countries. British Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Selwyn Lloyd tried to convince the Commonwealth ministers there is nothing in- compatible in Britain joining The Six and maintaining her Commonwealth role. As a further assurance to the family, he envisaged a Com- monwealth prime ministers' conference before the conclu- sion of Britain's negotiations with The Six. The timing of a top-level con- ference depends on progress made in the talks. Some au- thorities expressed the view that a summit could take place by next spring or early sum- mer. The meeting would come after a clear idea is obtained of commitments Britain must make to get full membership. It would give Commonwealth tough watching brief on the application. "The finance ministers," said one London source, "wanted to make it clear that if their inter- ests are threatened by possible membership, they'll scream blue murder."

HYACINTHE Que. (CP) Mrs. Benoit Baeuchemin, wife of a Beloeil, Que., farmer, has given birth to an 18 - pound boy in a St. Hyacinthe hospi- tal, it was announced Thursday. The attending physician, Dr. Remi Dansereau, said mother and son, born Wednesday, are doing well. For the 38 - year - old Mrs. Beauchemin, who weighs 250 pounds and is 5 feet 10 inches tall, it was her 14th child, of whom 12 are living. In June 1960, she gave birth to a boy weighing 17 pounds 2 ounces and the baby preced- ing him weighed 13 pounds at birth Dr. Dansereau said the aver- age weight of a child at birth up a fact - finding board to make recommendations for a settlement. The Hotel and Club Employ- ees Union (CLC) has accepted preivous offers of Mr, Frost's intervention but the hotel has turned them down. Mr. Frost said if there was a point at which he could help to bring a settlement he would gladly offer his services. Some 1,700 employees of the union have been on strike for about 20 weeks seeking wage increases and job security. A senior official of Canadian Pacific Railway, which owns the hotel said Thursday night the CPR is ready to meet at the request of the union, but he did not see how Mr. Frost's ser- vices could be useful. "Mediation is not necessary," he said. "It is realism on the part of the union that is needed." Scientist's Views On Fallout A dreaded byproduct of mu- clear blast is radioactive fallout. How great is the danger it pre- sents to human survival? In this last of three articles an eminent U.S. atomic scientist argues for a calm appraisal. By ALTON BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP) -- A fre- quent prediction about nuclear war is that radioactivity would poison the earth and all forms of life. "This is certainly not true," says Dr. Edward Teller, one of the world's most prominent nu clear physicists. "The danger of radioactivity has been grossly exaggerated. "We must do everything pos- sible to avoid war. But if, de- spite that, war does come, un- reasonable fear of radioactivity could lead to panic and wide- spread, needless loss of life. "For example, popular writ- ings have even suggested that radiation sickness can be trans- mitted from person to person, like a contagious disease." Radiation Is the new--and to most people mysterious -- -ele- ment in nuclear weapons. Im- mediate radiation, mainly in the form of neutrons, can kill per-| sons close enough to the bomb centre. More insidiously, the bomb releases a cloud of radioactivity which is carried way by winds, then falls to earth. It forms a heavy pattern on the ground near the explosion, then rapidly declines in intensity. 4 But for years, radioactivity can rain down around the earth in the form of long-lasting ra-| dioactive atoms, such as stron-| tium-90. This fallout generated a vio- lent political and scientific con- BONN (AP) -- West German foreign policy is likely to con- tinue on its strictly pro-Western course no matter who wins Sun- day's national election. There is no significant differ- ence in foreign policy matters between the two principal oppo- nents, Chancellor Konrad Aden- auer of the Conservative Chris- tian Democratic party and the Socialists' West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt. Adenauer and Brandt main- tain that the Berlin crisis must be solved through East - West negotiations without any West- ern concessions which could cur- tail the freedom of the city's population. Both feel the basis for successful talks is the re- peace treaty with a reunified Germany in 'closest co-opera- tion with the Western powers." He says he would form a com- mission of government repre- sentatives and experts in inter- national law who would draw up rules which could be the ba- sis for a future general peace conference. Adenauer maintains that a climate favorable for reunifica- tion can 'be achieved only hy ing of world tensi through general and controlled disarma- ment, Under either government, West Germany would continue as a member of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization.
