lie also said it looks as though Canada is in for a long siege of bit: defence spending and should or- ganize accordingly.

Mr. Currie said that after his investigation started last April he lound that the army itself was moving to improve things. It had launched a camp-to-camp invent- ory of the Works Services. had straightened the. records and ac- counting and made a ”vast. im-

arovement" in security arrange- mcnts.

Mr. Currie will appear again Thursday.

He attracted the biggest crowd a House committee has drawn in years. It included othcr members. a big contingent of reporters. a couple of cabinet ministers and senators. In the early stages it was s standing-room-only proposition but the crowd gradually began in thin as the qiiestions kept off the more spectacular statements in the report and concentrated on tech- nical details.

Mr. Currie. a short, grey-haired man with glsses and a navy blue suit. showed up with several aides and started out by reading a statement. He said he had tried to be constructive in his recommenda- tions and that his main purpose in the seven-months inquiry was to track down the cause of the Camp Pcmwawa irregularities and defic- iencies.

on Delicate Ground

Twice the quutioning strayed to delicate ground. once George Mc- llraith, parliamentary assistant to Trade Minister Howe, stressed that Mr. Currie has said and re-em- pbaslzed that he got the fullest co- operation from the Defence De- Dnrtment. Mr. Mcllralth said he did this because of suggestions Mr. tcut-rle had allowed himself to be intimidated."

Mr. Curria only smiled but when Mr. Mcllraith pursued the point by MYIHE "I take it you had full ac- CN-!' to anything yoll wished to !rP.' he said that was right.

later Leonard Stick (l.-Trin- 1l.V- Conception) accused Mr. Cur- rie of saying one thing one mom. eat and the opposite the next. but he was hushed quickly with a "W"-9 of "no. no." Otherwise all was tranquility. '

Extensive water darrlage to the recently renovated old Prince Coun- ty Hospital was caused last night when water from the sprinkler sys-

ii.Plll was released in some manner you the second floor of the build- iirlz. The release of the water set iciff the automatic fire alarm and the Fire Department found on ar- lrivai that, although there was no fire. a great deal of water had al- ready escaped and saturated the 1 upper floor and leaked down. caus- J mi: :1 great. deal of damage to the . ceiling on the main floor,

A great deal of credit. is due the local firemen for their efforts to keep the water damage a rt mini- mum. The members remained in the building and assisted in mop- pinc up the large amount of water lwhich had collcctcd on the ground floor. Had it been allowed to re- main there for any length of time. pennanent. damalze to the flooring would have resulted. - S

The lives of 3.871 in two other villages. Oosterland and Bruiniue. 'were menoced by the freaks of wind and tide. Their uurgomast- ers pleaded by radio for amphib- ious planes or helicopters to evac- uate the villagers, saying if sid did not come quickly there will be "3. big loss of life."
