Ray C. Atherton, United States ambassador to Canada, may be considered one of the high points of the three-year, ".three-pointed co-operation between Canadian civil and military and United States military authorities ; in this area. The success of this celebration was the culmination of the fellowship which has developed in spite of inevitable difficulties during the past three years. Although they 'have a common language and common social and economic background, Canadians and Americans were not very well acquainted before the war. In the urgency of the crisis which brought them here, the Americans might easily have offended Can-I adian sensibilities, and Canadians, conversely, might t'readily have found excuse to repell what a few cynics have called the "American occupation of r Northwest Canada." That those attitudes were avoided, and replaced by the fine relationship shown during the ambassador's visit reflects with utmost favor on Americans and Canadians alike. The good spirit shown Thursday was more than ; a sudden spurt of good manners. It was the flowering of deep and worthy attitudes. From The Daily News Files . . .

FO Peter Ficek, 28, of Fort William, Qnt.. was first wireless air gunner on the aircraft and was prominent in the gunfire duel which preceded the attack. "The sub twisted and turned like a scared rabbit," he said. "It corkscrewed, went into tlglu circles, and tried every trick of evasive action except sub- irfegijite. Officers were watch ing, us mrougn Binoculars irom the bridge. Eventually an explosion was seen and the U-boat sank quickly in a smother of foam.

His gunfire sent ' ihe sub cannon crews tumbling down the conning tower hatch. Depth charges were dropped and the big flying boat swooped on and uoward.
