As one source said, "if an ex- plosion every two years is the best the Russians can do, they're not do- ing very well" "But," he added, "it would be rash to draw that conclusion on that evidence alone."

B. Jolliffe, Ontario CCF leader last night pledged his party, if elected in the next proviccial general elec- tion, to increase old age pensions to $50 a month from $40.

At a later speech in Toronto Dovercourt riding, Mr. Jolliffe promised that his party, if elected, would relieve the municipalities of theif share of the costs of the re- cently - announced federal-provine- ial-municipal * plan for low-rental housing.
