Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, at) an emotion-charged press con- ference, called the turnout the beginning of the end for the! Viet Cong guerrillas, South Vietnamese packed auditorium of Dien Hong Palace where the election centre was set up openly wiped tears from their eyes as results of Sunday's voting were an- nounced There was loud applause for every speaker with the loudest reserved for Ky, the young air in Western observers and military men in South Viet Nam, FORECASTS WERE LOW | Pre-election forecasts of the vote ranged as low as 50 per cent and Ky had said even that would be a success, The returns showed the elec- 97 civilians, some of them criti- cal of military rule. Ky called the outpouring of voters in the face of threats a stunning defeat for the Viet Cong. At the same time, the Giandestine Viet Cong radio an- grily branded the elections a fraud built upon 'concocted, phoney figures." While some of the civilians elected to the constituent as- sembly,--due to meet Sept. 26, are critical of Ky and his re- gime, all are anti-Communists. jAl candidates had been the screened beforehand and those deemed to harbor Communist or neutralist sympathies were barred from running. The task of the assembly is to draw up by March a constitu- | tion to replace the one thrown out with the overthrow of as sassinated president Ngo Dinh| Diem, Other elections will be} ident and a balancing congress.

The council's two biggest wartime projects -- develop-|. ment of weapons and defence tools such as radar, and early work in atomic energy--now have separated and stand alone in their respective fields as the Defence Research Board and Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. "We're something like a bee- hive," says Dr. Kenneth Frank- lin Tupper who first joined | NRC in 1929 and returned in 1964 after a 15-year absence to become its vice-president for applied science. "Every so often we send out a queen bee to spawn another hive that eventually operates on its own.' The giant research centre, which now has almost 3,000 employees, two-thirds of them scientific and technical staff, has come a long way since the federal government established an 1l-man council to co-ordinate and promote scientific and in- dustrial research in Canada late| in 1916, | | HELPED UNIVERSITIES The council quickly discoy- ered it had little to co-ordinate; industrial and university re- isearch was practically non- | existent, | | First step to remedy the sit-| uation wasa system of grants) and scholarships to help univer-) sity professors stimulate search projects and to assist) {students in post-graduate work.
