VOL. 89--NO. 80 Price Not Over 10 Cents Per Copy OSHAWA, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1960 Authorized as Second Post Office Department, Class Mail Ottawa FOURTEEN PAGES Radiation In Canada After OTTAWA (CP) -- Health Min-| ister Monteith said today that there was a sudden and brief in- crease in radioactivity measured in Canada after the first French explosion of a nuclear device in the Sahara. He told the Commons estimates sammittee that two of the 25 ra- dation measuring stations in Can- ada reported the short-term in- crease He added that the increase might be associated with the French test but that he does not assume this. Harold Winch (CCF--Vancouver East) asked wether there could be any other explanation for ie increase. Mr. Monteith said no. However, there were sometimes increases at certain stations which could not be explained. NOTES BRITISH COMMENT He noted that British author- ities have said that the nch test is no! exoected to have any significant effect on radiation levels. SHOT IN THE HEAD Test Mr. Winch asked whether the information gathered in Canada has been conveyed to France with a request that she cease tests. Mr. Monteith said the external affairs department is made aware of his department's find- ings, Mr. Monteith did not identify the two stations in Canada which reported the increase or. the amount of the increase. MANY SAMPLES Mr. Monteith said his depart- ment has expanded its radiation testing program. It now was sampling air, wheat, water, soil and human bone as well as dried milk Dr. G. D. W. Cameron, deputy health minister said the depart- ment is 'very anxious" to im- prove its collection of human bones of infants, The bones were obtained from medical centres and pathologists. Dr. Cameron said radiation is greater from normal sources than from nuclear tests.
