Without
Aid
From
States
LONDON(CP)
Great
Britain
decided
today
to
produce
her
first
atomic
bomb.
It
will
be
built
without
direct
aid
from
United
States
and
may
be
ready
in
the
near
future.
It
is
reported
that
Britain
will
ask
United

Atomic
Commission
to
make
a
testing
site
available
for
the
first
bomb,
probably
In
the
Nevada
desert.
It
would
be
difficult,
owing
to
its
small
size,
to
find
an
atomic
testing
ground
in
the
British

OTTAWA

debate
on
the
Canadian

Board
Act
Friday
afternoon,
E.
T.
Applewhaite
(Lib.-Skeena)
stated
that
he
represented
a
riding
with
no

with
a

He
gave
the

of

as
one
and
a
quarter
million
bushels
and
drying
capacity
of
48,000

Mr.

referred
to

remarks
as
to
the
need
for

and
urged
immediate
consideration
of
the
use
of
the
government's
own
elevator
at
Prince

for
such
purposes.
Rt.
Hon.
C.
D.
Howe,
who
incidentally
was

engineer
who
built
the
elevator,
replied
that
