It was the 62 -year -old pilot's first crash in nearly 14 years of criss crossing oceans delivering single engined planes to customers. By his reckoning, he was making his 100th transatlantic solo flight Tuesday.

Trouble with an Italian plane be was ferrying from Italy to Canada forced him down on the barren icecap in below -rero weather. The flyer was less than five hours out of Reykjavik, Iceland, when he came down on terrain he described in a magazine article 12 years ago as "mountains, ice, rocks, no iron, no coal, no trees, nothing that man could use." Luck was with him. He was on the ice only a short time before an Icelandic airliner spotted him. Another plane dropped warm clothing and food. An air force spokesman said Conrad walked across a glacier from the wreckage of his plane to the spot where a small fishing boat took him off the icecap.

-JVC 1 a Aviator Max Conrad By Tim Creery Scutham News Service Canada, the country with the longer lasting beep, will be chronometrically bilingual in about two months. Canada's top timekeeper, Malcolm Thomson, chief of the positional astronomies division of the mines and technical surveys department, said in an interview that the French language input for his "speaking clock" would be received today. "As far as I know, Canada's will be the first national time service to broadcast announcements of its international time signals in more than one language," said the unilingual Mr. Tho mson, who is responsible for the Dominion Observatory Time Signal. Although the changeover only recently came to public attention through an MP's question in the Commons, Mr.

Thomson has actually been preparing for the alteration of one of the world's best-known time signals for several months. The distinctive Canadian long pulse of 200 thousandths of a second, is heard over three shortwave frequencies from the Dominion Observatory's station CHU.

Now he will share the announcement period of just under 10 seconds before each minute with the man who is probably the best known name on CBC French network radio Miville Couture. Neither Couture, whose hour long weekday music, patter, satire and commen narrow," he commented.

The mayor contended it was better to buy the extra new buses now, provided the same unit price of $33,851 was available. Backed by OTC member Wilbert Hamilton, she accordingly moved for the additional purchase tary program has a huge following, nor Mannis, with a big Toronto audience for his five minute weekday local newscasts, get their names mentioned on CHU. But they will be beard every minute of the day around the world. In the new announcement French and English will enjoy alternate precedence each minute, as follows: 1. "CHU, Canada, Eastern Standard Time, eight hours exactly, huit heures precise." 2.

"CHU Canada, Heure Normale de I'Est, huit heures une minute, eight hours one minute." "You have to read a shade faster for the new tape," said Mannis. "All I did was record the hours of the day and minutes. It took about 30 minutes." "At our transmitter, about 10 miles southwest of the Observatory in Ottawa, we have a very exact frequency source which will deviate by less than a ten thousandth of a second a day," said Mr. Thomson. "When I came here in 1930," the timekeeper, who is 56, continued, "we might reset our clock by half a second on a Monday morning after the weekend.

Last stretch of 401 job TORONTO (CP) The only factor preventing completion of Ontario's Highway 401 as a four-lane freeway by 1966 is a 24.8-mile stretch between Gananoque and Brockville, Highways Minister Mac-Naughton told a Queen's Park press conference Monday. The stretch runs from Gananoque to a point 5'i miles west of Brockville. Officials said that it would cost less to build a new section, which will be several miles inland, than to rebuild the present section which runs alongside the St Lawrence River.

At the end of February, the OTC had $128,758 for bus replacements and capital accounts. To this was added $294,360 from last year's reserves, giving a total of for bus replacements, fare stabilization and other capital expenditures. It was announced Route 61 will be extended to the Bay-shore subdivision between Highways 15 and 17 west of Britannia.

A contract with the subdividers, similar to that for Parkwood Hills under which the subdivider meets deficits in operation, made the extension possible, OTC chairman David McMillan said. and was sustained. Passenger revenue for February was $451,789 compared with $427,305 for 1963, an increase of $24,484 or 5.73 per cent.

But with $423,118 available in the kitty for bus replacement, Mayor i ton suggested 12 buses be bought instead of 10. "Why not live dangerously?" she suggested, "You do anyway when you get on your Narrow margin OTC General Manager George Brady reminded the commission the purchase of 10 bus.es, the planned construction of bus shelters, and the expenditure of $10,000 to put rear signs on buses, would leave the commission with only about $100,000 as a margin of safe operation.

Earning powers doubled by university training Br Ui CiMdiin Pres A new 1961 census report issued today by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics shows how education increases the earning power of Canadians. The report says that male workers aged 45 to 54 with a university degree or some university training earned an average annual income of $7,372 in 1961.

This was more than twice as much the $3,285 earned by males in the same age group with no high school education. Average earnings of males with university training also were higher than those with some high school training except for the age groups 15 to 19 and 20 to 24. Peak earnings for males with no high school education were reached at an earlier age than was the case for those with more schooling. 3 hold possible winners Ottawa fought a last ditch battle in the Supreme Court of Canada yesterday and today for the validity of city council bylaw 449-62, passed on Dec. 21, 1962, levying special capital charges for sewerage and water services for new high-rise buildings here.

"We are not prepared to go across the cease ire line and attack the territory now under Pakistan occupation," Nehru said, "but obviously if it becomes necessary in the defence of our territory for them (Indian troops) to cross the line, then they will cross it." Nehru's statement was the strongest made by any top official of the government since the recent outbreak of skirmishing and raids across the cease fire line in the disputed Himalayan state. India and Pakistan fought over Kashmir in 1948 and have been quarrelling over the state ever since.
