In the separate figures for the Le Royer board, 1,297 children moved from French to English in the year ended April 1, 1970, and 28 moved from English to French. The report says that economic motives are the main reason that propels children to switch into the English school system, but Italian-Canadians also had "a very clear prejudice about the difficulties of learning French." Only the single group made up mainly of English-speaking people placed "cultural enrichment" over future job considerations as a motive.

A 7th Fleet communique said waves of navy jets destroyed 15 buildings at the He Danh Do La trans-shipment point 35 miles from Haiphong, and that pilots reported setting four large sustained fires in the attack. The Phantoms were the fourth and fifth downed by MiG-21s in less than two weeks. Not since the 19G5-68 bombing campaign have North Vietnamese MiGs done so well. U.S. military sources said North Vietnamese pilots are becoming more aggressive in challenging U.S.

jets. The U.S. command said 58 U.S. planes have been lost over North Vietnam since the resumption of bombing April 6. and a total of 67 airmen are missing over the North during the same period.

Many of the missing are believed to have been captured. Meanwhile, the command reported that an American artillery battery accidentally fired into a U.S. infantry patrol nine miles west of Da Nang on Friday, killing two Americans and wounding eight. In a second mistake attack, the U.S. command reported that two aircraft accidentally dropped bombs on South Vietnamese positions in the central highlands seven miles northwest of Kontum Citv.

"I assume he will want to look at these other places as soon as he can find the time." Another matter about which Fischer is still not happy is the monopoly on move-by-move coverage of the 24-game championship by an American impresario, who apparently wants to run the match live in closed-circuit broadcasts to cinemas and theatres.

into weather warfare. U.S. military scientists have been researching in this field for at least 10 years. In early 1962, Vice-Admiral W'illiam Raborn wrote in the U.S. Naval Insritute proceedings that "we already have taken our first steps toward developing an environmental-warfare capability." Raborn, at that time the navy's deve'ooment chief and later a high CIA official, suggested that ability to control the weather could bring greater changes in warfare than did the explosion of the first nuclear bomb.

"Large-scale weather-control techniques might be used to cause extreme flooding in strategic aeas or even to bring a new ice age upon the enemy." Raborn wrote. He now is in retirement. QUEBEC (CP) The rate at which children are being switched from the French to the English school system in the Montreal region is even higher than shown by figures which scandalized large segments of Quebec public opinion last fall, the national assembly was told Friday. Ulster Belfast BELFAST (CP) Protestant militants early today declared a district of Lisburn, just outside Belfast and site of the headquarters of the British troops in Northern Ireland, a "no-go" area, meaning it is closed to security forces. The paramilitary Protestant Ulster Defence Association, angered by the continued existence of Roman Catholic no-go areas in Londonderry, last weekend set up five of its own in Ulster.

During this week, it declared that it would establish a sixth before embarking on a two-week period of "peace and grace." UDA men started erecting barricades in 1 a and other communities Friday night, but there were no early signs of trouble. Word that the Lisburn district was to become a no-go area came just after midnight. The UDA, which claims a membership of 43.000 trained men, last weekend erected permanent barricades around three districts of Belfast, one in Londonderry and another in Portadown. It is expected this weekend to erect a number of tempo-r a barricades, to come clown on Sunday night, as it has during similar roadblock-ing exercises on i weekends. The Protestants' period of "peace and grace" will encompass a normally dangerous time in Northern Ireland, on and around July 12.

That date, the anniversary of the 1690 victory of W'illiam of Orange over Roman Catholic King James of England in the Battle of the Boyne, is a traditional time for celebrations and marches by Northern Ireland's Protestant majority. The UDA's barricade policy-presents a strong challenge to he province's British administration, headed by William Whitelaw, which months ago match. Meanwhile, Spassky, who in the last week has been on the receiving end of some upsetting psychological warfare on Fischer's part, now seems to be hitting back. He was quoted in an Icelandic newspaper Friday as telling Yugoslav grandmaster Bozidar Kazik that Fischer had been behaving as he did "because he now realizes that he is going to lose the match." There are not many enthusiasts in chess-mad Iceland who would concur with that assessment. But as a result of i 's recent actions, Spassky has without doubt gained in popularity what he may have lost in psychological points.
