carrying vital dar information from Thule Greenland to North American Air Defence Command author ltative warm here have re vealed Thule is the site of one of the ballistic missile early warning radars and would provide some 15 minutes warning of an inter continental missile attack on North America An important as the radar it self lo the means to relay the information it gathers to heed quartch of North American Air Defence Command at Colorado Sprinlzs Colo One mans of relaying this in formatlon is by submarine ca bla from Thule to Cape Dyer on the east coast of Baffin Island at the Arctic Circle Cope Dyer is at the waist of Davis Strait which separates Baffin island and Greenland it is not known whether the difficulty posed by cable cuts caused by icebergs has been finally overcome Experts were sent north to try to find deeper channel for the submarine cable in the vicinity of Cape Dyer Data collected by tho Thule radar is also relayed by radio to Cape Dyer Eastern Canadian anchor of the DEW radar warn ing line This system is some times subject to communication blackout From Capo Dyer the infor motion is transmitted south by radio and land line through La brador Newfoundland and the Maritime provinces and thence across the United States to Col orado Springs similar system extends through Canada from another ballistic missile warning radar at Clear Alaska if is backed up by submarine cable from the Alaska Panhandle to Seat tieWash Canada contributes to the cost of these relay systems as joint partner in NORAD The Davis Strait paradcof the icebergs is only one of many difficulties which have faced en gineers in the last several years during establishment of the ra dar warning and control net work across Canada Another wastha difficulty in distinguishing between aircraft and loch of geese Experi enced radar operator now can differentiate between the two Gran and other fowl also used to set off warnings from the Mid Canada warning line which is largely automatic and therefore unmanned The Thqu radar caused an alarm at NORAD headquarters last fall when it picked up moon reflection of its own sig hat and momentarily classed it as missile British Are

were well on their way to Kuwait by land and sea From talks with senior Brit ish officers it is clear that one result of the action will be still greater emphasis on the vital role of the right kind of air transport in mounting oper ations in developing countries Commanders could have used more than the available two squadrons of flying boxcar freighters which are capable of lifting big loads from primitive landing strips Eva more use ful would have been moldrotor helicopters able to lift vehicles or large numbers of men Royal Navy helicopters used in this operation had to cut loads drastically in peak heat con ditions Ono surprise for commanders in the field was to find that vehicles from military stock piles sometimes had fewer than 10 miles on the meter This added breakin

Barrie Examiner LONDON Chancellor of the Exchequer Selwyn Lloyd is In der heavy fire in business in uncial and trade union circles as well as politically The rain son for concerted criticisms is not that he has predicted sev en measures to deal with Brit ains economic emergency but rather that while he has in timated that drastic steps an to be taken he has delayed in amouncing what they are going to do The stdollar question being risked by brokers bankA era and businm men is Why are we waiting Mr Lloyd has intimated that the announcement of his new emergency measures will be made in the House of Commons on may July 25 But it is thought in financial and busi ness circles that he has already made up his mind what these measures are going to be This belief lsstrengthened by com ment

uncertainty will not be on oldfashioned lines SUSPENSE DISLIKED Willi this indication that the decisions have been made the question is being widely asked Why keep us all in suspense Business people and financial houses dislike nothing more then uncertainty as to what is going to happen One rcsult of the delay is thot the stock man bets have gone into flat spin because of the twilight period between rumor and fact And of rumors there are plenty around the City UNION ANXIETY in trade union circles there is anxiety because of hints that there is going to be some kind of government control of wage increases it would be quite easy for the government to freeze wages in government owncd and controlled industries and services To apply this to industry however would be more complicated and would in volve legislation which would arouse the trade unions to fighting pitch Union lenders are among those who would have preferred having Mr Lloyds announcements made at once instead of waiting for them until July 25 And they have indicated that if an at tempt to freeze wage increases is made the government may be faced with rash of largtL scale strikes HURONIA naivem rnaarna IRUHIFE
