"THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVENTEEN France Builds Network 0f Military Airports Metz, France (Reuters)--France, whose military airfields were al- most totally destroyed by both side during the Second World War, will have a network of military air- parts by the end of this year suit- able for any known type of air- craft, including the latest atom- nsomb carriers being tested in the United States. Shortly aiter General Dwight Eisenhower established his sup- reme headquarters for the inte. grated anti - Communist defence army of Europe, his air experts began to cope with the problem arising from the fact that existing airfields were woefully inadequate for the latest long range bombers and jet fighters. The French defence ministry hastily decided on"emergency con- struction of up-to-date airfields and French engineers and contractors searched Europe for the best machines to lay concrete and bi- tumen in the shortest possible time. g For security reasons the number * of airfields has not been disclos- ed, But at Metz, three German machines moving on rails laid strips of concrete 400 feet long and 80 feet wide. Smaller machines smoothed and flattened subsidiary runways and dispersal points. In 100 days, a team of 500 workmen had laid two concrete runways, each about 1% miles long, together with drains, electric cables and runway approaches. VAST UNDERTAKING Before they started spreading the concrete, engineers had to re- move 380,000 cubic metres of earth from the runway area. SOggy, clayish soil and heavy rain ham- pered them, but they finished the job on time. ™~ Airfield construction in 1951 needs different techniques from the hastily and relatively easily-built emergency landing strips built dur- ing the war. Then, allied engineers merely laid down a carpet of metal screen. These emergency strips are still in use all over France for propeller - driven aircraft. But jet aircraft cannot land safely on them because most strips are too short. Moreover, excessive heat from the jet exhausts would buckle the metal strips. It even cracks bitumen; so that expensive concrete has to be used throughout the length of the runway, or at least at both ends, where the engines warm up before taking off. Jet runways have to be kept al- most surgically clean for the jets suck in any loose stones, earth or other objects within range. Recent News Of Hampton M.

Buck and not have to rise too early to see| with Strange Leadership By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Ardent advocates of peace -- at any prices -- naturally look to Mr. Tim Buck, leader of the Labor-Pro- gressive Party, to provide a rally- ing point. Mr. Buck responds hand- somely with his eager acceptance of the Soviet proposals for a cease-fire in Korea. This peace proposal, which Tim the Communist Party, and the Rev. James Endicott and the Canadian Peace Congress unite in approving, would have us accept, un enthusiasm, a peace policy aimed to restore a cease-fire line which Allied exper- ience has proved to be indefensible. These so-called advocates of peace the Soviet again encourage its sa- tellites to break that peace, they would do so from the same advan- tageous position from- which they. broke it the first time. In the name of such an illogical peace, Mr. Buck and the Rev. gentleman urge us to forget the added secur- ity for peace represented by a de- fensible line secured by the blood of Canadian soldiers and the sol- diers of our nearest friends. They ask us to delude ourselves into be- lieving that the lion and the larhb have reversed their roles; that the Soviet has become the eager search- er after peace and the Western allies the reckless and aggressive {promoters of war. We are not surprised that these gre the views of the Labor-Progres- sive Party, or even of the Canadian Peace Congress. Their opinions have been openly expressed. But Mr. Buck would now add to his particular fold, the CCF Party. Mr. Buck is not wishfully thinking. He sees this as an accomplished fact. would have it assured that should The CCF national policy of support of the North Atlantic Pact, of re- arming Europe and of sending Canadian troops to Korea, he as- sumes to be mere shadow boxing "The main content of (Mr.) Cold- well's speech (to a CCF picnic) was in favor of action to prevent war." Mr. Buck said. Mr. Coldwell "feels the pressure of the mass of working people of Canada and the rank and file of the CCF which is on the side of peace". Mr. Buck cites as further evidence the re- cent CCF convention in Saskatch- ewan, where "every decision on a question of foreign policy was against the CCF national policy, and the idea of five-power negotia- tions was endorsed." One can't help wondering--con- sidering the recent outburst of Mr. Tom McLachlan, Nova Scotia's CCF president: "They say if you are a 'Red' you are out. I was an active worker in the CCF so I was out."-- how much truth there is in Mr. Buck's assumption of brotherhood with the CCF, and how much its soberer members would relish be- Italian Railroad Service Crippled As Million Strike Rome (CP) -- A 24 - hour wage strike of one million government employes today crippled train ser- vices on Italy's state - owned railways and affected mail, tele- phone and telegraph services. The strike began at midnight. Large cities organized special bus services for commuters. It is the second strike of state employes in four months. Last May, all except railway workers staged a similar strike. Communist, anti - Communist and independent unions joined in today's call. The government proposal in- ing 'thus tied to the coat-tails of such dubious: leaders. cluded a flat wage increase of about $220 a month on salaries that range from about $50. The workers demanded about $6.20 a South more than the proposed scale.
