Wask Tome "Bolivered OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1965 'Favor Held § ~ Radioactive Water Study TORONTO (CP)--An Ontario government report on radio- active contamination of drink- ing water in parts of the prov; ince has been withheld because "we didn't think it would be the gentlemanly thing to do to make this public before Nov. 8," J. K. Reynolds, chief executive of- ficer of the premier's office, said Monday. However, The Globe and Mail says the report on water sup- plies in the Elliot Lake area of Northern Ontario and Bancroft, 70 miles northeast of Peterbor- ough, was ready in June. "The report was earlier de- layed as a favor to the tourist industry in the Bancroft and Elliot Lake areas,"' the news- paper says. The report, says the newspa- per, "suggests the federal gov- ernment has been delinquent by not combating radioactive pol- lution" in the two uranium mining areas. A study was ordered last year by Premier John Robarts after reports were made of increased levels of radioactivity in water supplies used by residents of Elliot Lake, midway betgveen Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. Release of the report was firs! delayed because "'it was feared resort operators in the Bancroft area, where slight pollution had been discovered, might suffer economically from a reopening of the subject during the tourist season," the newspaper says. Prime Minister Pearson an- nounced the Nov. 8 genera! election Sept. 7, about the time the tourist season ended in On- tario. | "It was decided not to publish |the report until after Nov. 8 be- cause of the repercussions it could have in the . . . election campaign," the newspaper says. Elliot Lake is in Mr. Pear- son's riding of Algoma East. The newspaper also says the jreport contains '"recommenda- tions arrived at by the provin- jclal health department on ac-| jceptable standards of radio-) jactive matter in drinking wa-) lter" and says the responsibility] lfor setting standards "should) jrest with the Atomic Energy |Control Board, a federal body."

Fuld, a native of Germany who became a Canadian citizen in 1946, died in Frankfurt three years ago at the age of 41. His death from a malignant brain tumor set off an involved quar- rel over his estate. After 91 days of hearings, the longest and most expensive cas in a British probate court, Sir Leslie Scarman, High Court jus- tice, Monday accepted the le- gality of Fuld's original will and rejected three later codicils which had been supported by Dr. Herman Tarnesby, a psy- chiatrist. Sir Leslie said he could not rely on Tarnesby's evidence, He praised Hartley as being Fuld's "true and loyal friend and ad- viser."' Fuld, son of a wealthy Ger- man-Jewish businessman and a non-Jewish mother, left Nazi Germany in 1939 to avoid racial persecution and came to Brit- ain.

Kremlin Spy Who Solved Cuban Crisis NEW YORK (AP) -- News- week magazine Monday gave credit to a Russian spy with having assured President John 'F. Kennedy during the 1962 Cu- ban missile crisis that Soviet nuclear forces were not in a state of war readiness. The report cites the activities of Soviet Col. Oleg Penkovsky, executed by the Russians in 1963. Penkovsky's memoirs, be- ing edited for publication, are said to reveal that he passed Britain and the United States some 5,000 items of military, po- litical and economic intell- igence. Newsweek says in its current issue: "Penkovsky knew full well that eventually the Soviet se- curity apparatus would find him. But if the story that has been accepted in intelligence circles over the past few years is correct, he may at least have had the satisfaction of knowing that it was his greatest contri- bution to the West that led to his final downfall. | "Three days before John F. |Kennedy delivered his dramaic jultimatum to Khrushchev at the height of the Cuban missile cri- sis, the story goes, the late pre- sident asked his advisers how he could be sure he was not Bomb Threat False QUEBEC (CP)--Police car- ried out a two-hour search at the residence of Quebec's lieu- tenant-governor Monday follow- ing an anonymous phone call which said a bomb was set to go off there. The call said the bomb "will explode in an hour."' The search turned nothing up, but the pro- vincial police left men on guard at the residence. Meanwhile, Quebec City po- lice said they believe three bombs found near public build- ings during the weekend were either placed by pranksters or by terrorists looking for pub- licity. "Each of the bombs found was made with four sticks of dynamite, clockwork and a dry cell, but none had a detonator," a police spokesman said. 'In a bomb of the type found a deton- ator is all-important. Without a detonator it would not explode."

Scandinavia, wind-driven its moorings and Diefenbaker By THE CANADIAN PRESS There has been a lot of talk about voter. apathy but you couldn't prove it by the capa- city crowds that turned out Monday night at the major po- litical rallies. Prime Minister Pearson drew 5,000 to Winnipeg Auditorium, Conservative Leader Diefenba- ker spoke to 2,000 in a Hamilton theatre and NDP Leader Doug- las had an audience of 2,300 in Regina Auditorium, Social Credit Leader Thomp- son spent Monday in his Red Deer, Alta., riding and will spend the rest of the week in Alberta and British Columbia ridings where he thinks his party has a chance of wifning in the Nov. 8 election. Both Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diefenbaker ran into heavy heckling but both gave back as good as they got and it didn't get out of hand. The Conservative chief was the only one of the night's speakers to produce a new promise. He said a government under him would start a par- liamentary investigation of re- ports about Communist intimi- dation of European immigrants living in Canada. "We will take a strong stand against Communism within or without this nation," he said, aiming his remarks at the steel city's large immigrant popula- tion.

He said' the time has come to set up a joint committee of the Senate and the House of Commons to ascertain if there is any subversion or infiltration of European immig: rants, A Diefenbaker aide said the call for a parliamentary investi- gation was prompted by reports that Croatians, Hungarians and other groups are getting propa- ganda in the mail oe port for Communist policies. Those with relatives in Europe have become concerned. In his address, Mr. Diefen- baker said that if elected, a Conservative government "will appoint a joint committee of the Senate and the House of Come mons to fully examine the rami- fications of communism within our midst." He added that a government formed by his party would con- tinue to press at the United Nae tions for self-determination for 100,000,000 people behind the Tron Curtain, The Conservative leader, be- ginning a final election foray into southwestern Ontario, was heckled almost from the mo ment he started to speak. Economy Keeps nority situation meant a_ veto for the Opposition and "I don't believe in the veto in the United Nations or in Canada." Mr. Pearson said a minority government had no. assurance of lasting more than a week or to insecurity, parliamen- tary confusion and more elec- tions. Mr. Douglas, meanwhile, was stressing his party's opposition to proposed new railway legis- lation that would lead to whole- sale abandonments of branch lines on the Prairies.
