SPY LONDON (CP) -- Scotland Yard made pre-dawn raids to- day in its campaign to crack the "'spies for peace" ring for betraying some of Britain's nu- clear survival secrets. Swinging into action after a wild, fist-throwing ban-the-bomb rally, agents of the special branch dealing with security of- fences swooped on houses in search of a typewriter used to draw up pamphlets first destri- buted during the weekend peace march on London. The pam- phlets disclosed secret plans for dispersal of government offices in the event of a nuclear at-! tack. There was a0 immediate word|Hyde Park--the last point on on what if anything the raiders found. Publication of the secret gov- ernment plans was described by as "the work of a traitor." HEARS MORE PRINTED The special branch has been told that the mysterious anti- war group has printed another series of leaflets revealing more official secrets. Young detectives, many of them in beatnik outfits, ming- led with the ban - the - bomb marchers Monday on the watch for the new leaflets. One marcher who was distributing leaflets from a shopping bag was arrested. The leaflets were digests of the original pamphlet. Some 25,000 copies of the digest) were reported distributed.

Seemingly indifferent and showing no remorse, the youth admitted during questioning that he had slipped into the girl's apartment, bringing with him a 10-inch knife and a tough length of cord, and strangled her with it as she slept.

(AP)--An eight- man team of surgeons trans- planted half of a horseshoe kid- ney from one identical twin to another in a delicate operation described as the first of its kind. "It is touch and go with the boy," said Dr. Victor A. Poliit- ano, who acted as spokesman for the University of Miami medical team. '"'We won't know for several days how successful we were." Donaid Watkins, 17, had suf- fered from birth with hydrone- phrosis, a disease that blocks -|the ducts leading from the kid- ney to the bladder. He was five imches shorter and 60 pounds lighter than his brother Daul. "When we examined him, we knew that the only thing that could save his life was sur- gery," Politano said.

The kidney transplant has been performed successfully RCAF Jet Bomber To Carry Megaton Bomb OTTAWA (CP) -- The RCAF supersonic CF-104 low .- level jet bomber in Europe will carry a@ one-megaton bomb, authori- ties here say. A one-megaton bomb, equiva- lent to 1,000,000 tons of TNT, is five times as powerful as the bofnb which destroyed Hiro- shima in 1945. The RCAF Air Division in Europe, with eight squadrons of 18 CF-104s each, would thus have the power to destroy 144 cities at one blow--assuming cities were the targets and all 14 planes got through to their targets in one strike. Authorities say such an ex- ample is hypothetical because CF-104 targets would be mili- tary installations such as mis- sile bases and not population centres. In any event, the RCAF CF-104s, about 20 per cent of the NATO tactical nu- clear force in Europe, were meant to be primarily a war deterrent. The CF-104 has a radius of ac- tion of some 500 miles, mean- The problem posed by the massive strike capability of the air division is staring a Liberal governmet in the face because a NATO ministerial meeting on control of nuclear weapons will be held here May 22-24. The Liberals never did like the CF-104 program and, they say, they still don't. However, Liberal Leader Pearson has said Canada should honor its nuclear commitments and, as Prime Minister Diefen- baker said in the Commons Jan. 25, the CF-104 is a nuclear commitment, Paul Hellyer, MP for Toronto Trinity and Liberal defence cri- tic, said in the Commons March 28, 1961, of the CF-104: "This is a rough engine being installed in a poor aircraft to carry out a questionable role to which we should not have com- mitted ourselves in the first place.""

The NATO council has report- edly worked out a unified com- mand system covering Canadia CF-104s and other nuclear car- riers.

(AP)--Billie Sol Estes, called by a federal judge, the "perpetrator of one of the most gigantic swindles"' in United States history, was sentenced Monday to 15 years in prison for mail fraud and conspiracy. In sentencing Estes, U.S. Dis- trict Judge R. E. Thomason cas- tigated him for his part in ar- ranging with farmers for mort- gages on non-existent fertilizer tanks involving $24,000,000, and then selling them to finance companies.

He was allowed to go free Monday on $100,000 bond pending appeal. Before the sentencing, Estes who did not take the stand dur- ing his trial, spoke up briefly. He said he had never been part of any conspiracy and never in- tended to defraud anyone. Defence counsel John D. Cofer made a dramatic pre. sentencing appeal on behalf of his client. Cofer said Estes "'is a young man still in his 30s, who was worth $18,000,000 at the time the first notes were signed, and now does not have a dime left, nothing but his home." A federal jury on March 28 convicted Estes guilty on five of 14 counts of fraud and con- spiracy. Thomason ruled he must serve five years on each of three counts, to be served consecutively, and five years on the other two counts, to be served concurrently. Tropical Rains Hit Hawaii; Two Missing HONOLULU (AP)--Hundreds of Hawaiians were homeless to- day and at least two persons missing as drivimg tropical rains continued to drench the is- land chain, feeding rampaging mountain streams on Oahu and Kauai Islands. The weather bureau forecast offered little hope for a let-up in the "rains that have ham- mered the islands almost stead- ily for a week. Civil defence officials and po- lice said Monday that damages --mostly to homes--would total more than $5,000,000. The tiny island of. Kauai, northernmost in the archipe- lago, was hardest hit. The wind- ward section of Oahu suffered heavy damages to homes. Kauai police said an esti- mated 400 persons were forced from their homes in the planta- tion community of Hanapepe, on the southem coast. On Oahu, 18 inches of nain was dumped into Kahaluu Val- ley on the island's windward side in six hours Monday, the weather bureau said.
