OTTAWA (CP)--A Canadian- developed communications sys- tem is being maintained on an experimental basis by NATO as an emergency backup system in event of nuclear war, it was learned Tuesday. Ordinary high-frequency com- munications .would be blacked out around the world by a few well-placed nuclear explosions in space. The Canadian system, code-named Janet, is much less susceptible to blackout. Janet was developed by the Defence Research Board's tele- communications branch several 'Firms Await Tax Tables By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--New payroll tax deduction tables reflecting Finance Minister Sharp's pre- Christmas mini-budget income tax increase, which took effect Jan. 1, will not be ready for distribution to employers until mid-February, a revenue de- partment source said Tuesday. 'This means that most em- ployers will continue making payroll deductions at rates which have prevailed since last June 1, and employees will have to make up the difference when they pay their 1967 taxes in the spring of 1968. A departmental official said the new tables will not be com- piled in such a way as to make up the higher taxes due for Jan- uary and February. The higher taxes take the form of an in- crease to $240 a year from $120 in the maximum amount a tax- payer pays individually towards the old age security fund. It applies to those with tax- able incomes of $3,000 or more after all exemptions and deduc- tions. For a married taxpayer with two children the higher tax will be effective on earnings of $5,700 or more a year. NATO Uses Canadian System As Nuclear War Emergency years ago. It employs meetor trails to reflect radio signals in ---- bursts over ground distances of up to 1,400 miles. Officials said Tuesday the Ca- nadian Armed Forces could never find enough funds to in- stal the system in Canada. NATO's supreme headquarters took it over and installed Janet between The Hague and a.point in southern France. NATO has not yet decided whether to install Janet gener- ally throughout the alliance area, For one thing, the system may be overtaken by communi- cation satellites which can also overcome nuclear radiation in space except when actually in- tercepted by a missile. U.S. Control Feared: Poll TORONTO (CP) -- The Star says a poll of Canadians shows that six of 10 believe foreign control of a large part of Cana- dian industry "endangers or could endanger our political in- dependence" and fear the gov- ernment does not show enough independence of United States foreign policy. The poll is described as "'the most extensive survey ever taken of Canadian attitudes to- wards U.S. control of our indus- try and the threat to political independence it represents." It was taken for the paper by Ca- nadian Facts, a marketing and opinion research organization. The star says the findings in- clude: --Almost seven of 10 Cana- dians believe the government should take steps to reduce foreign control. --Slightly more than one-quar- ter of Canadians favor Can- ada joining the United States | some day. s The Star says 790 interviews Workers End 46-Day Strike LONDON, Ont.
