Canada’s Conservative
Party Favors Paving
Alaskan Highway
OTTAWA UR — The conserva
tive party’s annual meeting adopt
ed a resolution Saturday favor
ing cooperation with the United
States in paving the Alaska High
way.
The resolution said that if the
U. S. would not cooperate, Canada
should pave as much of the high
way as it can alone.
John Green, delegate from Fra
ser Valley, B. C., said the meet
ing should not put Canada in the
position of asking the U. S. to
help pave a highway in Canada.
Erik Nielsen, MP for Yukon,
said that since the highway runs
through both Canadian and Alas
kan territory, cooperating of the
two countries would be the best
plan, if it could be obtained.

Tender “Proteus”
HOLY LOCH, Scotland Ud —
The U. S. Navy disclosed that
someone recently made an un
authorized dive beneath the top
secret U. S. submarine tender
“Proteus” at Holy Loch. The stunt
was attributed unofficially to a
British adventurer.
The Navy said the dive was
detected by personnel aboard the
vessel shortly after its arrival
early this month to activate the
Scottish base for Polaris missile
bearing submarines.
A London newspaper named the
diver as “Mad Mike” Henderson,
known in Scotland as an adven
turer and tug boat skipper along
the Clyde.
The London paper — The News
of the World — said Henderson
claims to have scratched his ini
tials in two places on the “Pro
teus”, in letters 6 inches high.
