Writer Describes New Defense Warning Line

(Eritor’s Note: Charles Corddry, United Press military affairs writer in Washington, has made a 4,2o<fcmile tour of the new Mid-Canada defense warning line in the Far North. In this third and final dispatch summing up his observations, he reports on the value of defense lines -efen with the coming of the intercontinental ballistic missile.) By CHARLES CORDDY OTTAWA (UP)— The No. 2 man of the Royal Canadian air force said today it probably will be ’’well on toward the end of the 19605” before intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) become a serious threat to this continent. “There is no ICBM today,” air vice marshal C. R. Dunlap, vice chief of air staff, told a group of Canadian, American and British newsmen in connection with a tour of the new 170-millloa-dollar Mid-Canada warning line. The electronic "burglar alarm” which Canada Is building 400 miles north of the United States and the 400-mlllion-dollar distant early warning (DEW) line at the top of the continent, which America is building, have some in for criticism here by some retired army officers, publlciatlons and other sources. The argument is made that the warning lines will be obsolete — like the French Maginot line in World War ll— and that they tie Canadian strategy too closely to America’s. There also has been some U. S. criticism, but milder than here. Dunlap, an authority on air defense, asserted that warning lines in the north can reduce the possibility of surprise attack to the point that there may be “little likehood” on attack at all oh this continent. t If an enemy could “drive into a continent find destroy its means of retaliation,” he said, the prospect would be “tempting.” Therefore, it is "absolutely imperative” to have at least the means for limited warning. Warning lines certainly will not be obsolete as long as bombers are used, Dunlap said. He said <the Russians are just in the “early stages” of introducing long range jet bombers to replace their pistion-engine copies of the World War II 829. It will take “several years” to build the Russian Bison bomber force, he said, and won’t’ be in Operational

use until the "late 19605.” y The ICBM is still a “big question mark,” Dunlap went on, but responsibile opinion bolds that it will take until the late 1960 s to develop the city-wrecking rocket into an accurate weapon. He said the ICBM, which he described as a 5,000-miie cannon, probably will be employed for a time side-by-side with bombers, rather than replacing the manned aircraft. While Dunlap did not touch on the point, the RCAF told newsmen in prepared material given them oh the tour that the northern warning lines can be “modernized” In the future to become defense lines against ballistic missiles. “Any defense against the ICBM will require forward defense lines so that these installations will not be wasted,” the RCAF said. “They will merely require to be modernised.” Borne criticism of the northern defense construction projects has been linked with concern that Canada’s sovereignty may be impaired by the presence of numbers of Americans on Canada's far > northern soil. An editorial in a prairie province newspaper said the other day that ' airmen “are nowdays essentially a denationalized crew. They may be Canadian or they may be 1 American but their decisions are 1 ruled more from Washington than from Ottawa.” : Adams Central Band Is Tied For Third The Adams Central high school band tied for third place in the annual marching and playing contest at the Bluffton street fair Wednesday night. lAdams Central tied with Columbla’City, each receiving >25. Hartford City won the |75 first prize, with Portland second. Fifteen bands competed, including Pleasant Mills, Geneva and Hartford Center. All bands were also given 335 for expenses, in addition to prize money. Trade iu a Good Town — Decatur. Rummage Sale — Zion Reformed Church, Saturday, September 22nd. 9:00-4:00.
