Russians Without Any Defence Against B-36

Washington, March 13.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff had been handed a United States Air Force finding that Russia has no adequate defence against the B-36 super- bomber.

Furthermore, she may not have a defence for

several years.

The finding is based on testsjan nititure barrier which renks under combat conditions and it in Importance with the so-called underscored the Air Secretary's sonte speed barrier. Two things happen to 10dny's fighters at high description of the B-36 as

Mystery Fires In France

Parle, March 13,

A 45,000-velt transformer explodad today at Berutar, near Life, Northern France, causing France's second pow. er station fire in a week.

The flames spread rapidly to several 15,000-volt trans formare and firemen fought for hours to control the blaze, which caused damage cutimated at about £10,000. The area was without power today.

On Tucoday night, the out- buildings of France's largest hydro-electric plant at Gonia- alat, on the Rhone, were ex- tensively damaged by a fire of unknown origin.-Reuter.

CRITICAL WEEK IN ATLANTIC DEFENCE

Washington, March 14,

This will be one of the most critical weeks of all in negotiations of the North Atlantic Military Allianca.

Lake Success, March 14.

A new Canadian plan to end the political deadlock in the Indonesian case is developing al-anong UN Security Council

delegations.

The text of the proposed treaty will be made public on Friday. That may be the signal for a now outburst of Russian attacks. Diplomats in Washington say the Russlaus will leave no trick untried to try to defeat the Al- llance or splib off one or more nations.
