Conodo Says Marshal
Averted Missile Score

OTTAWA, Dec. % (AP)-
Canadian officials today cred
tied a Canadian air marshal
with quick thinking that
headed of a North American
missile scare in October.
This was somewhat at vari-
ance with a story put out by
the Pentagon. A Washington
spokesman said December Z
that Gen. Lawrence Kuter,
chief at the North American
Defense Command in Colorado,
found out Immediately that a
warning of a possible missile
attack October S was a false
alarm.
The Canadian version is that
Gen. Kuter was. away at the
time and that Canadian Air
Marshal Roy Slemon was in
charge at the command post.
Marshal Slemon is deputy COM
mander of this joint United
States-Canadian operation.
A story distributed today by
the Canadian Press said Mar
shal Slemon "averted what
could have been q nuclear dis
aster."
Refused to Be Panicked
This account was given:
"Slemon refused to be pan
licked by radar information
which made it appear that
long-range missiles had been
launched against North Amer
lea. Slemon reasoned that the
information from a radar at
Thule, Greenland, must have
been false. He ordered an i'm
mediate check and it was found
that the false radar informa-
ton was caused by a malfunc-
ton in the balliStic missile
early warning station at Thule.
1.-The danger in the situa-
tion was that long-range Amer
ican missiles might have been
launched in retaliation unless
the Thule radar's information
could be proved false quickly"
The story that a possible
nuclear disaster was averted
hits home in Canada.
Nuclear Ties Debated
A long-standing issue involves
just how closely this country
should cooperate with the
United States in potential for
nuclear warfare. Some editorial
opinion has suggested that
Canada should have no part in
allowing the storing of nuclear
warheads for use by United
States personnel stationed in
Canada. But Canada has CO.
operated closely with the United
States in devising various
warning systems.

Mr.. Fried, the second of yes

there were indications that a

keroSene-type diesel fuel that

How was the valve knocked
of?
Witnesses said a fork lift
truck picking up a refuse cart

probably sheared of a valve on
the tank.
