The minister, unveiling his new budget, said he expects to wind up next year's operations with a $61,090 surplus.

There are no new taxes, or tax creases, and highways department spending will be cut back by about $6,000,000.

"Canada's policy has been against any atmospheric testing by any country but the Americans have the responsibility for defending the free world and apparently have decided they are in danger of being outclassed," said Air. Green in an interview.
