Canadians In Furor Over Plan To Junk Jet Planes
OTTAWA AP The Canadian government moves to scrap the Arrow jet interceptor drawing anger across the country and shaping months of political battle. Prime Minister Diefenbaker backs a U S missile system with most costs borne by the United States. Opposition calls for a full defense policy review as thousands lose work and Canada risks losing trained personnel in a shifting defense program. The Arrow program cost 400 million so far with only five built and potential further 380 million for 100 Arrows. Canada and the United States plan Bomarc bases by 1961 as the new backbone of defense at a cost about 300 million dollars, about 80 million less than the Arrow plan.
