A “simulated”? atom-bomb at-
tack staged on this auto city last

Panic among thousands of its citi-

Paper switchboards were flooded

People. who feared an A-bomb

The switchboard operator of a
indsor tadio station answered
‘More than 1,000 phone calls
tom frightened citizens who had

- Packed up and were getting ready *

to leave the city.

The ‘mock’? raid was staged
by the “Civil Defense Services
and played up vividly by the re-
actionary Windsor Daily Star
Whose stories played a major role

1 creating the panic.
The Star’s editorial rooms were

_Swamped with phone calls. One

Woman told a reporter: “My
children are terrified at the thought
of a bomb going off so close to
Our home.” The reporter wrote
that he could hear ithe children
Weeping and wailing.”
bservers say ‘the reaction of
the people of Windsor clearly in-
icated their fear and hatred of
another war.

Cyril Prince, LPP nominee for
the Windsor-Walkerville consti-
‘uency in the forthcoming Ontario
Provincial election, made this com-
ment:

British Columbia Peace Council has called upon Trygve Lie, secretary

general of the United Nations, to protest to the editors of Collier's Magazine
against the flagrant misuse of the UN name and flag in the current inflamma-
tory issue of that American publication which is devoted to a highly imaginary

account of war with the Soviet Union.

Under the general heading, ‘“The

War We Do Not Want: Russia’s Defeat and Occupation — 1952-1960,” the
cover shows an American soldier with “MP Occupation Forces’ and both the
U.S. and UN flags on his helmet standing with poised bayonet against a map
of Europe. Across the “thapy of the New Democracies, the -Soviet Ukraine,
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, stretches the word “‘Occupied’’, surmounted by
the UN flag, and another UN flag flies above “Moscow Occupation HQ.”

' Milk may climb

to 25 cents quart;
protests sharpen

Price of standard milk this week in Vancouver is 22 cents a quart.
Next week, or next month it may be 24, 25 or 26 cents, depending
on the whim of the provincial Milk Board currently listening to dis-

tributors’ pleas for a higher return.

The added three cents slapped on the retail price of milk last
week goes largely-to the milk producers, but is likely in the long run
to harm rather than help them, as consumption of milk will inevitably

drop sharply in coming months.
Before the Milk Board ad-
journed the hearing for an eight-
day period Tuesday this week, it
had listened to strong pleas from
distributors for an additional 2-3
cent increase to go into their pock-
ets, and heard a plea from Can-
ada Safeway Ltd. to allow that
chain store to process milk for
sale over the counter “at two to
three cents less than home delivery
costs.”
When thé hearing resumes No-
vember 1 a Labor-Progressive
party brief calling for a guaran-
teed minimum, price to producers
and a guaranteed maximum price
to consumers will be presented by
LPP provincial leader, Nigel Mor-
gan.
This week Morgan sent a sharp
protest to Premier Byron John-
son against the ruling of Milk

Board chairman E. C. Carr that
representatives of the distributors
were not required to reveal names
of applicant companies for which
summarized financial statements
were produced as an argument
for a further price increase.

“The fact that the distributor
companies’s figures were unaudited
and unsubstantiated by any ex-
amination of the operations; that
they were simply figures submitted
by five of the 13 applicants to an
accountant who was
as their witness, makes a farce of
the hearing,’ said Morgan. “On
behalf -of the LPP I therefore
‘support the official protest lodged
by a representative of the pro-

ducers against such a biased and.
