building a full-fiedged Seaway

ito travel from ocean to lakes
Since part Of the st. Lawrence
as well as the lakes. forms a
common boundary with the
UNITED States, they sought
American help.
| Reception to their plan was
lcold in Washington, which was
heavily Influenced by eastern
ports and railroads fearful OF
competition. Time after time,
Congress rejected the Seaway.
Resolved BY War
World War II brought the
issue to a head. Spurred by
war demands, Canada matured
industrially and threatened to
build the Seaway all by itself,
The threat came at a
strategic moment. United
States financiers from Cleve-
land to Duluth had been chilled
lby the possibility that the de-
cline Of iron ore reserves in
Minnesota would force the steel
industry to the East. Bethle-
hem Steel already had built a
giant mill near Baltimore to
process South American ore.
Then the discovery Of large
ore reserves In Canada's east
ern provinces raised new hopes
in the Midwest. II ore could be
transported cheaply to the
Great Lakes, the steel indus
.Itry-heart Of mid-America's
economy-would remain. The
st. Lawrence Seaway appeared
to be the answer.
Pressure for approval Of the
Seaway began to mount on
Congress, and the Joint Chiefs
Of staff added its weight by
arguing that the waterway was
essential to defense.
In 1854, Congress succumbed
and approved the measure
President Eisenhower called II
"a vital addition to our eco
nomic and national security"
Arm in arm, the United
States and Canada amassed q
labor force Of $4,000 skilled
workmen who lifted and re-
placed mighty bridges. built
dams, bikes and powerhouseS
and gouged new channels in

Britain Reported
Planning to Make
Own Wurheuds

LONDON, May 2 (AP). -
Britain today was reported
seeking nuclear independence
from the United States by
developing its own warheads
for guided missiles.
Two British newspapers said
the program is aimed at freeing
this country from reliance on
American nuclear warheads
supplied to Royal Air Force
rocket crews.
Government officials declined
comment.
The Laborite Daily Herald
said Britain aims to become
c implicitly independent in
manufacturing and using bal
listic missiles With hydrogen and
atomic warheads.
At present Britain is relying
on United States warheads for
its American made Thor
intermediate range missile.
American permission is needed
before British crews can fire
them.
The liberal News Chronicle
said the Eisenhower admins
tration has agreed ito share
know-how and materials so that
Britain can manufacture what
ever warheads she wants"
The paper added that the
United States Government also
has agreed Britain alone can
say when and how nuclear
rockets based in this country
can be fired.

ShoR Hopes to Wed Italian Princess

ROME. May 2 (AP).-The
Shah Of Iran. still looking for
an hier 10 his ancient throne.
heads back to Europe tomor-
row with matrimony in mind.
And he has In mind the pretty
daughter Of Italy's last king.
The word that the Moslem
Shah Is definitely interested IN
Princess Maria Gabrielle Of
Savoy, a Roman Catholic, and
Is ready TO try to hurdle the
religious obstacles came today
from the Iranian royal court
spokesman in Rome.
The marriage would be
looked upon with pleasure In
Iran II religious difhculties can
be overcome" said the spokes-
man, Chodjaeddlne Chafa,
Irhnian cultural counsellor
here.
Mr.. Chafa said the Shah may
zee Princess Maria on his six
week visit to Europe. The
shah plans to spend some time
IA Switzerland, where Marie
lives with her parents. former
King Umberto II and Ex-
Queen Maria Jose. Maria now
Is visiting In Portugal with her
father.
Shah Must Marry
at Is essential for the Shah
to marry. He must" Mr.. Chafa
told reporters. "and upon his
return to Iran the Shah will
most likely make a decision
at least with respect to Maria
Gabrielle"
The handsome, 39-year-old
Shah needs to stabilize his
position at home by providing
q male heir to Trans Peacock
Throne.
The Shah's name has been
linked Economically with the
princess, but standing between
them is that barrier Of religion.
Under Trans constitution,
the heir to the throne must be
brought up as a Moslem.
But the Vatican newspaper
L'Observatore Romano recently
pointed out that If Maria Cab
riella marries the Shah in the.
Catholic church, their children
would have to be raised as
Catholics.
Divorces No Obstacle
The Catholic ban against re-
marriage of divorced persons
would not apply to the Shah.
He wed his first two wives in
Moslem ceremonies and is not
regarded as ever having been
married under Catholic church
law.
Press reports that the Shah
and the beautiful Italian prin-
cess will wed have been denied
by members of the House OF
Savoy, including Umberto.
There have been unconfirmed
reports that the princess turned
down an engagement ring from
the Shah.
The Shah has been looking
for a new queen ever since he
divorced green-eyed Queen So
raya last year because sheI
failed to provide a male heir.
The Shah shed his first wife,
an Egyptian princess, for the
same reason.
Soraya Seen With Prince
Asked whether the Shah
would have any objection IT,
Soraya remarries before he
finds a new queen. Mr.. Chafa
said: None whatsoever. She
has no need to ask the Shah's
permission"
Soraya has been seen around
Rome with italian Prince Raj
monde Orsini and they were
together last month on the
romantic Isle of Capri.
The Shah is due in Britain
on Tuesday after a brief stop
over at Geneva. He will pay
state visits to the royal houses
of Britain, The Netherlands and
Belgium. Then he plans to
vacation in Europe, probably
in France and Switzerland.
