To Witness Cold
Weather Tests
CHURCHILL, Manitoba, (JP) —
Military attaches of six nations
and newspapermen of four coun
tries were given an opportunity
today to observe the activities of
a joint U. S.-Canadian force test
ing sub-zero conditions and their
effect on military equipment and
operations. ,
Lt. CoI^D. C. Cameron of Corn
wall, Ont., commanding the winter
experimental base near Hudson
Bay four miles from here, told 15
newsmen from Britain, Canada.
France and the United States that
a complete range of military equip
ment was being tested, but that all
of this equipment was in existence
before the war.
He said the reporters and the at
taches — representing Britain.
France, Mexico, Norway, Russia
and the United States—would be
given “complete coverage of what
is going on here—but you won't
see any rockets or atomic bombs,
because there just aren’t any
here.”
Firearms were introduced into
Europe by the Mongols in the 13th
century.

Teachers Reject
Salary Schedule
J
-.
BUFFALO, N. Y. i/P) — The
t -iking Buffalo^ teachers federa
tion today rejected as “highly un
satisfactory” the state recommend
ed augmented salary schedule for
all teachers.
Thus the prospects of an early
settlement of the five-day old
walkout, the largest teachers strike
m the nation’s history, faded as the
federation once again tossed re
sponsibility for meeting its de
mands for higher pay to the city
administration.
Raymond J. Ast, president of the
federation which has idled the
city’s 3,000 teachers and halted
classes for 71,000 public schools
pupils, said in a formal statement:
x“Our study of the report <of
Governor Thomas E. Dewey’s com
mittee on education* indicates that
it is highly unsatisfactory, that it
does not offer the long promised
relief, that it is not intended to
take effect in the fo^m o*' perman
!t salary legislation until July
J 948.”
