csiiriiittjuaiiniiii Drop Move To Switch

Canadian Army From British To U. S. Arms

By Douglas llow OTTAWA. Jan. 16 --(CP)- Th major post-war decision to switch the Canadian army from British to American-type arms has been pretty well written off in the wake of the Churchill visit to North America.

A complexity of causes has kil- led this plan which caused contro- versy both inside and outside par- liament because it threatened to divorce the army from the British arms it used in two world wars.. Officials say the key decision has not finally been made. But signs are that the decision will be to keep on using the British Lee- Enfield rifle and the .303 bullet rather than switching to the .300 American Garand even though some thousands of Garands have already been imported.

No Common Rifle

The Churchill visit has establi- shed that the Britons and the Americans aren't going to adopt a common rifle and that the best for standardization is me long-range hopethat some common rifle of the future can be evolved by all the Atlantic Pact powers. But it would be years before it is in use.

Canada must decide what she'll do now because she suspended im- ports of Garands some months ago to back up her call to the two major powers to try once more to reach agreement.

was In Full Swing

I

A year or two ago the plan to use u.s. arms was in full swing here. shipments started coming. Officers stucled organizational changes that would become nec- essary. others went south to learn how to use the new weapons. Op- position members of parliament protested that vital British tradi- ions would die. The government said they wouldn't. s

Now most of that is over. The shipments have consisted mainly of the Garancis. The studies have withered away. Canadian brig- ades are serving with British arms in both Korea and Germany even though it was thought aiomst up to the last days before sailing that the 21th Brigade would take U.S. arms to Europe.

The return to British arms has been highlighted by the decision to adopt the British Centurion tank instead of the U S. Sherman used in the Second World War.

MUNSAN, Korea. Jan. 17 - (Thursday) (AP) United Nations' truce negotiators brushed aside a Communist threat Wednes- dtziy "to fight to the end" in Korea if the Allies dare to turn over 20,000 Chinese Communist prison- ers to Chiang Kai-Shek's army on Formosa.

The U.N. denied a-ny such in- tent but raised another issue.

Gen. Rid.gwa.y's headquarters in Tokyo announced it intend; to press charges that the Reds "have violated and are continuing to violate" every provision of the Geneva convention dealing with prisoner-of-war camps.

The armistice negotiations were scheduled to reconvene at 11 am. today (9 p.m. EST Wednesday).

The Formosa threat was hurled by Chinese Col. Tsai Cheng-Wen, senior staff officer in the prisoner exchange. t

Tsai said: "If anybody dares to hand over any personnel of the Chinese Peoples' volunteers . . . to the deadly enemy of the Chin- ese people. Chiang Kai-Shek, the Chinese people will fight to the end.”

An Allied briefing offioer denied the Allies had any intention of delivering Chinese prisoners to Chiangis Nationta-lists. ,

The officer, Lleut. Walter Ellis, said if any Chinese chose to go to Formosa instead of back to Red China under voluntary re- patriation. they would be handed over to a neutral international organization for final disposition.

Since steam power was replaced by 20 diesel locomotives on the Island Division in 1950, the op- oration of these new locomotives has been very satisfactory, rail- way officials rciported. Fuel costs are considerably lower, and the cleanliness of operation has met with approval on the part of the crews. However, until the diesels have been in use for a number of years, a comparison of malnlen-' ance costs at the present time would be incomplete and mislead- ing.

As far as winter operations are concerned. the weather this sea- son is providing a good test for the diesels and to date they have met with no difficulty in clearing the tracks of the heavy falls of snow. The number of cars they are capable of hauling approxi- mates that of the steam locomo- tives which were replaced.
