Canadian Says Road,
Not Corridors, Needed
To Tap B.C.'s Wealth
VANCOUVER. B. C., UP*—The
idea of a corridor from northern
B.C. through the Alaska panhan
dle to the Pacific “is a dream of
some journalist,” says Vancouver
Alderman Ahlford Wilson.
Wilson said that what is really
needed is a highway from Hazel
ton to the Yukon that would con
nect with the Alaska Highway.
The highway would connect
with the British Columbia coast
and the panhandle through a ser
ies of access roads.
“The untapped riches of the
north, plus a great influx of Cana
dian and American tourists, would
flow along all these roads,” said
Wilson.
At present the only road con- *
necting B.C. with the Alaska
Highway is from Prince George to
Fort St. John.

Private Plane
Into Russia
Gets Cold Greeting
From Gen. Twining
MOSCOW, lift—The first Ameri
can to fly a personal plane into
Russia took Soviet officials for
a flight over Moscow yesterday.
William P. Lear, American
plane equipment maker here on a
private trip, gave several Soviet
foreign trade officials short flights
in his Cessna 310 five passenger
plane.
Lear said his electronic equip
ment was “extremely new to the
Russians. They were avidly inter
ested in what was in the plane.”
On his arrival here Tuesday
Lear predicted that NATO em
bargos on trade with the Commu
nists would end soon. But officials
of his company in Santa Monic^
Calif., said they had no intention
of selling equipment to the Reds.
Lear got a cold greeting from
visiting Gen. Nathan Twining,
U.S. Air Force chief, when they
encountered each other Wednes
day.
Twining was briefing reporters
in a hotel room when Lear en
| tered. Twining had just been
asked about military implications
of Lear’s flight here with gear
that has been banned by NATO
for export to Soviet bloc coun
tries. Twining said it was strictly

When a reporter told Twining,
“General, here’s an old friend of
yours,” he barely said hello and
made no move to shake hands
with Lear.
Russians Wait in Vain
For British Plane to
Take Off—Battery Dead
MOSCOW. UP*— Red-faced Brit
ish air officials rescheduled a
courtesy flight of their Comet jet
airliner for Soviet air officials to
day after the pride of the British
airways failed to get off the
ground.
Some 30 Soviet air force offi
cers, technicians and officials of
Aeroflot, the state operated Soviet
airline, turned out at Vnukova
Airport for a ride in the gleaming
silvery airliner. They piled into
the plane, the doors slammed shut
and the minutes started ticking
by.
Forty-five minutes later the
embarassed British air crew ad
vised the guests the flight had
been postponed until the next day.
The battery was dead.
