Strike Inquiry To Continue NEW YORK (AP)--The chair- man of a three-man board of jurists investigating New York's month-long newspaper blackout says the study will continue de- spite what he called "a very serious mistake"' by the head of a striking printers union local in refusing to co-operate. The union leader, Bertram A. Powers of Local 6 of the AFL- CIO International Typographi- mission, said that since 1945 the United States has tested and ex- ploded several hundred nuclear bombs without one actidental or uncontrolled detonation. Betts, in an interview, said that a report that a 'wide area of North Carolina narrowly es- caped being blasted by a 24- megaton bomb in 1961 is not |true. with a shotgun," Holley ex- plained. "When he saw what had hap- pened to me, he picked me up and carried me into the house." Holley's car was later recover- ed in Oshawa. A man and sev- eral women were questioned by the Oshawa Police in connection with the hold-up. Gerry Morgan, 22, of Brock street, Uxbridge has been charged with robbery, posses- sion of an offensive weapon and possession of stolen goods. | The investigation was headed up by Pickering Township Set.

Powers has said he will con- tinue to boycott the board's fact-finding sessions unless the local's members, who are to meet Sunday, approve his par- ticipation. However, the board has been asked to report by. Fri- day "or sooner it possible." Judge Harold R. Medina of the U.S. Court of Appeals, pre- siding over the fact - fiading ' poard, said "'we would like to have his (Powers') views be- fore we're finished." But medina added: "If you have any idea we are dancing attendance upon Mr. Powers, you might just as well forget it. Medina also told reporters: "I think he (Powers) has made a very serious mistake, prejudi- cial to his own interests, in stay- ing away, but that's up to him." Medina said the board was getting the union's side of the dispute despite the absence of Powers. "We have people here who are knowledgeable people and who understand the newspaper industry," Medina said. 'This s not something peculiar to Mr Powers." Federal mediators, tatives of several non-striking newspaper unions and publish- ers of the nine closed dailies were among witnesses before the board Tuesday.

Lapp claimed five of the.bomb's six interlocks were set off by the fall. Betts said this may have been so but the five interlocks that closed automatically were not important. The importance was the initial operation of activat- ing or fusing the bomb. This had not been done. The bomb was to all purposes dead. There was no possibility of a nuclear detonation "'and for some rea- son Dr. Lapp didn't make this clear." "The chances of a nuclear bomb going off accidentally are infinitesimal. The bombs car- ried in our nuclear planes have seals on them. d these would have to be broken by the crew | before the bomb could be ac- jtivated. ... "If one of our strategic bomb- ers loaded with nuclear wea- pons was hit accidentally dur- ing flight by a nuclear missile, the missile's warhead might ex- plode and the bomber might ex- plode but the bomb load would shatter and not detonate. "In effect, the nuclear wea- pons aboard the bombers are de-activated and remain de- activated until. the order is }could lead to detonation. |OVER NORTH POLE | "In the case of U.S, strategic jbombers flying over Canada, north towards the enemy, the place would be well over the |North Pole before activation |processes would begin, | "As for accidental activation of nuclear missiles, these are Tests Show Accidents In A-Blasts Unlikely built with an environmental sensing device.

A lot of this fear,arose from the unknown and the fact that secrecy pre- vents the civilian population from getting access to vital in- formation. He said there should be a healthy respect for nuclear hazards but this respect should be born of knowledge and not ignorance. is greater 'el } mah--target of an assassination attempt last summer--had left the stadium before the bomb went off, and it apparently was thrown into the crowd and. not aimed at him. Nkrumah mingled freely with party and government leaders at the rally and then drove from the stadium amid thunder- ous cheers from the crowds-- cheers which suddenly ceased as the explosion echoed around the arena. CROWD PANICS The crowd stampeded when the blast was heand, but offi- cials finally got control and' channelled them stadium exits. The incident was reminiscent of one last Sept. 9 when a young girl was killed and a number of persons injured when a bomb exploded in a crowd of 2,000 outside Nkrumah's official res- idence. The crowd had gathered to Canadian Living Costs Unchanged OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian liv- ing costs remained unchanged during November, with the con- sumer price index holding at 131.9, on Dec. 1 the record high reached a month earlier. The bureau of statistics said today that the index -- a prices yardstick based on 1949 levels equalling 100 -- held steady at the Nov. 1 level as: fractional increases in food and housing prices were balanced by de- clines in costs of clothing and transportation. The levelling of price move. ments in November followed five consecutive monthly ad- vances in living costs. The pre- vious high was 131.5 at Oct. 1. The index now is 2.1 points higher than the mark of 129.8 on Dec. 1, 1961, for a 12-month rise of 1.6 per cent.

But Prince Rainier said at the time agree- ment had been reached on basic principles, Sources here said Thursday's agreement will continue to spare Monaco's citizens -- there are jabout 2,000 in a population of 23,000 -- from paying income taxes. French citizens who have resided in Monaco five years or more will continue to be exempt from French taxes. Corporation and commercial enterprises will be required to pay the same types of taxes im- posed in France. Europe Held In Icy Grip LONDON (Reuters) -- Britain and western Europe still were in the grip of a winter freeze-up today, as ice, frozen snow and slush made road travel danger- ous. All 25 major roads leading into London had dangerous icy patches, Many roads in western England, hardest hit by snow- storms in the last two weeks, still were completely blocked. One road in Gloucestershire, between Bath and Cheltenham, was blocked for eight miles. A hazard in the Sheffield area was fog which cut visibility in places to near zero. There were fresh snowfalls overnight in northern and north- east England. efficiency in our defence system. "For that matter we like to see a good arsenal of nu- clear and conventional weapons available for Canadian Voodoo jet interceptors. Every military man wants to see more and bet- pad weapons available, but we out Canadian squadrons being equipped with nuclear weap- ons. Gen, Gerhart said he would like to see the range of inter- ceptors extended to greater dis. tances through the development of a new long-range fighter air- craft. "However, such an aircraft is a existence at present," he said. Gen. Gerhart closed his inter- view by commenting on a ques- tion concerning a British report that United Kingdom Vulcan bombers had recently pene- trated the air defence shield of the United States. "That story is about as wild- eyed as suggesting Russian bombers did the same thing oe the Cuban crisis," he said, computed from a survey of firms employing more than 10 persons in a wide range of in- dustries.
