Wednesdey, April 22,1964 7 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Forces Still On Berlin Crisis Alert OTTAWA (CP)--If there has been a relaxation in the and pull of the cold war--and the externa] affairs department Says there has been--the de- fence depart men-t apparently -- taken any formal note of Authorities disclosed Tuesday that Canada's field forces are on at least as high a state of alert as they were during the 1961 Berlin crisis, The Berlin crisis instigated a planned 15,000-man increase in the Canadian army which was subsequently cancelled in the 1962 austerity program, ship ment of reinforcements to Eu- rope, beefing up of fleet person- nel and an increased alert sta- tus for' Air Defence Command. In October, 1961, at the height of the Berlin scare, the Cana- dian Army brigade in Europe numbered 6,100. At the end of March, 1964, its strength was 6.200. In the meantime, the United States has recalled 41,- 000 reinforcing troops from Eu- rope. NAVY STRENGTH UP In the fall of 1961) fleet: per- sonnel strength was brought up to 90 per cent of wartime com- plement from 80. Officials said the percentage still remains at 90 though over - all naval strength has been reduced by 1,000 men to 20,700 as an econ- omy measure. RCAF Air Defence Command went into an increased state of = in late 1961 and early 62. One-third of the command's 60 CF-101B Voodoo jet intercep- tors were on 15-minute alert at all times. Previously, some planes on readiness call were permitted as much as an hour to become airborne. The increased state of readi- ness--meaning that one-third of the command's air strength can get into the air in 15 minutes-- still is in effect, informants said. The strength of the RCAF air division in Europe has dropped to 5,713 from 6,505 in March, 1962. But officials said this is ac- counted for by closure of the base at Grostenquin, France, and movement of the two CF- 104 squadrons there to airfields in West Germany because the French government won't per- mit storage of American nu- clear warheads in France. Closure of Grostenquin elimi- nated only "housekeeping"' per- sonnel. U.K., Soviet On Brink Of Big Trade Pact LONDON (AP) -- Despite a sudden illness of the top Soviet negotiator, Britain and Russia neared agreement Tuesday on a series of big deals that will hoist their trade to record lev- els. Talks have been taking place at three levels and British au- thorities gave this picture: 1. A new five-year trade pact is due to be signed Thursday. The accord sets the framework for increased quotas of con- sumer goods each will supply. 2. The Russians are negotia- ting a package deal directly with a@ group of private firms for the purchase of whole chemical, fertilizer and synthetic fibre plants needed for their agricul- tral program. The British: gov- ernment already has undertaken to guarantee the transaction at $280,000,000 worth of long-term credit, 3. Soviet aviation and shipping specialists have begun investi- gating prospects of buying fly- ing equipment and ships from the British, A Russian civil aviation mission that includes Premier Khrushchev's son, Ser- gei, is touring Britain. British shipbuilders have sent salesmen to Moscow, As officials put finishing touches to the trade agreement the chief Soviet negotiator sud- denly took ill, Nikolai §. Patoli- chev, 56, minister for foreign trade, was to meet with mem- bers of the government and with leading businessmen when he was stricken. British and Soviet physicians attended him in his downtown hotel. Later a Soviet embassy spokesman reported "there is no cause for anxiety" but he did not say what was wrong with Patolichev. Since 1959, the volume of British-Soviet trade has climbed more than 50 per cent to $432,- 000,000 from $272,000,000. Value of that trade is bound to in- crease still more in the coming five years if negotiations for the purchase of British plants suc- ceed.
