CHURCHILL, Mdnq Jmy 30_A second northern shipping supply setback was suffered Tuesday when the 97-ton Hudson's‘ Boy Company motor vessel Neophyte ran aground and was abandoned °fi Fm Severn. m miles south of Churchill, H.B.C. officials an- nounced here today. The vessel was believed to be a total loss but the crew of six are reported safe,

A week ago last Monday, the 501111100!!! supply ship Ns-scopic grounded near Cape Dorset, Bu. fin Island. Its passengers are en route to Churchill aboard the ice- breaker N. B. McLean.

The Neophyte normally supplied provisions to York Factory and other points extending southern. ward to the northwestern point of James Bay.

She left Churchill late laat week on her normal supply run. 11.3.0. officials deciding that both 1t and its sister ship. the Severn. would be better kept on their hadules rather than go to the aid of the Nascopie. _

Originally a Dutch canal boat, the Neophyte was brought to Can- ada by the Dominion Government and slmsequently purchased by the 5.8.0.

Loss of the Neophyte may moan that some centres along the Hud- son Bay will be unable to get ex- pected supplies this summer. The situation mav not become too ser- ious. slnca most posts carry suf- flcient food for a year in advance. but these supplies are expected to have diminished greatly before the long northern winter is over.

Standard Dress For All Tllm Services?

crmawa, July so —(OP)—The battledresa, war-tested everyday unifiorm of the Canadian soldier. is being modified in style and may become the basis for standard dress for all three services, 1t was learned today.

Army experts on dress have ap- proved a slightly altered version that will include a convertible col- iar which can either be worn open with a necktie or closed for formal occasions. It also will have s fuller back and front to permit greater freedom or movement.

The pants will not be changed. The wartime anklct was done away with some time ago, with the put.- tee tskins its place.

A joint committee of all three services has been considering a common uniform for months and still is at work. It is expected that the design they choose will be based on the, battledreas style with each service maintaining its own color.

WASHJISIUTON. July 30—tA.P)_. The United States protested to Russia today against Soviet seiz- ure of German and Italian assets in the Balkans in apparent viola- tlon of peace treaties.

The action was announced by Robert Lnvett, under-secretary‘ of state. at a press conference as State Department. officials began discussions on the Greek situation The 111m of the conferences is to reach a decision on what the United States should do next as a result of Russia's veto in the Security Council of an American proposal to create a. United Na~ tions watchdog commission on the Greek border.

Greek Foregn Minister Tsaldarls

the Soviet veto as one more evi-

dence of the extent to which "world peace is at stake" in the ‘Greek crisis.

While the latest note to Russia was carefully worded and avoided sensational charges, officials com- ' nlentlng on it privately said that the Soviet Union appears to be trying to grab as much as possible cf the industrial resources of Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania before the Balkan peace treates actually come into force.

The note requested that the United States be notified of all "provisional transfer of assets" and that it be consulted in ac- cordance with peace treaty pro- visions.

(By Jack Smith) LONDON, July 30—(A.P) _Il-l. formed socialist sources said Prims Minister Attlee told Labor iegig. lators today Britain will slash her armed forces in Germany,

employees at headquarters of the Civil service Commission joined C. H. Bland, its chief commissioner, in accepting oaths that over a period of weeks will be adminis- tered to their colleagues from coast to coast.

Amendments to the Civil Service Act. alter the old policy of requir- lng only permanent emlployees to take the allegiance oath and only

a few key personnel the secrecy pledge. The ceremony contained no

mention of the spy probe but its reflection was obvious in the background. Most of the 18 Cana- dians detained and changed in the courts in 1946 were then or form- erly civil servants but a majority have since been acquitted.

The oaths require the employee to "swear that I will faithfully and honestly fulfill the duties which devolve upon mef . . .and that I will not, without due authority in that behalf. disclose or make knovm any matter or thing which mmes to my knowledge by reason of such employment, so help me God."

The policy was evolved during the last session of Parliament in a, endments to the Civil Service Act. 1t does not involve any ad- ditional screening of civil servants entering new jobs. a spokesmen

said.

Under the present system. there is no screelng of persona entering the service. but. when temporary employees are advanced to "per- manent" category. "10 " "1155!" may u: for reports on the indivi- duals by the RCMP.

However. it was understood that the chemo in the Civil Service Act was an indirect reflection of the espionage probe in which a number cf Government officials were implicated. It was designed to ilypogg a greater appreciation of the hood for secrecy in the handling of confidential matters.
