Giant Hydrogen Bomb Explosion Told in Dispatch From Moscow NEW YORK f The New York i uranium or Plutonium required ! penetrated the earth's atmos- ' "-- club ToUm onspiel. Last night two rinks from 4 the fishing companies based in Prince Rupert viewed the canned salmon picture for 1954 as "not too bad at all." Mr, Sorensen added that Britain's contract price "must ' be considered secret but In my opinion it is a fair price." He did not think that prices to. fishermen would be any higher this year than in 1953. Decline of meat pnees in the United States had an adverse effect on prices orfered for fish, as meat was Its chief competitor, "and in order to gain market, we have to meet competition." Other fish products have been moving steadily as well, including frozen halibut and fillets. Mr. Sorensen said that competition from Iceland and Eur ope in supplying frozen fillets "lias eased considerably." The last two years, B.C.'s salmon industry has been plagued by lack of markets due to 1 a ha.lt in British buyings. In 1952, tlt-rc were 698.000 surplus cases. Last year, the carryover was ! similar until the fall, when i Britain announced its first pur-i chase since 1951. I Another contract since then. i announced recently. Was for ! $4,500,000, approximately 200,- 000 cases. BETTER FISHING . , . urv.!iA l u,h,l!LZJ marlct I still lingered in their ears. Co 'on members oluo Haarrl a fnm. cast for slightly better fishing In 1954. Dr. John Hart, director of Pacific Biological Station at Nanaimo, told the meeting that due to extensive research over recent years "it may be possible to .predict salmon Vuns airly accurately. "And 1954 should be better than last year, but not good." Last year's pink and chum runs were considered poor on the whole coast, while all salmon fishing was below average in the Prince Rupert area. Dr. Hart said the bulk of re search was done in connection with sockeye salmon, of highest quality commercially among wesi i.'oasl species.

Magistrate To Face Charge Of Violating Plumbing Laws Tlmes in a Moscow dispatch to- j ay tells of a hydrogen explo sion, presumably Russian, which, the 'dispatch quotes the Soviet Army newsDarjer Red Star as j saying, was "reminiscent of pos- t aivjiy uic KiTrubeai. cauiubiou ever witnessed by man-that of the million-ton meteorite that fell in the remote stony Tunguska river area of north central Siberia." Red Star's account of the blast, the dispatch adds,1 was accom panied by a detailed description of how to construct the H-bomb. A simplified drawing showed the "essential details" of the weapon. The Times added in a footnote to the Moscow dispatch, by its correspondent Harrison E. Salisbury, that "this is believed to be the first time the Soviet public has been told of the full power of either atomic or hydrogen bomb explosions." REFERENCES DELETED "Until now, references to the magnitude of the destructive Power of these weapons have , el"d1,c,fd f,m , repolr,lr i Unlted 8tates 'als published in the Soviet Union. It adds that the writer of The Red Star article "may be describing the explosion that took place In the Soviet Union last Aug. 12. Although the Soviet government described the device tested at that time as a hydrogen bomb, the confirmation of the explosion by the United States Atomic Energy Commis sion cast some doubt on that claim." The description of the hydro gen bomb, the Moscow dispatch adds, "was painted in firm lines, as though written by an indi vidual fully qualified to describe hydrogen explosions from per sonal experience."

The bylaw calls for such plumbing to be Installed in a separate room. The council move came after a report from the health committee that Moran had Ignored repeated warnings to Install plumbing In three sltnilur rented cabins. Eventually he had installed a sink and toilet In one of the cabins in a kitchen corner, adjacent to a table. It was "un derstood similar conditions existed in another cabin which had not been inspected.
