Canada Buying Llglli Carrier From Britain

LONDON. Nov. 7 -- (OP) Canada has completed arrange- ments to buy from Britain H.M.3. Powerful. a light fleet aircraft car- rier. Jane's Fighting ships says to- day in its 1951-52 edition,

The authoritative naval year book says Canada is expanding her naval atrength considerably and will use the new carrier to replace RM.- (:.8. Magnificent. on loan from the Royal Navy. The year book adds that seven of Canada": 14 a.ntI-sub- marine escorts have been laid down and most of it scheduled coastal mineaweepers launched.

In Ottawa I Canadian Navy spokesman said l-l.M.B. Powerful, under construction at Belfast in Northern Ireland, Wlll be given "a more appropriate Canadian name" before it is turned over to Canada. The new name has not been cho- Ien.

The carrier would not be com- pleted for "a few years yet" and Canada would continue to use H.- M. C. S. Magnificent until then. the apokeaman said.

Jane's says that several navles, notably Britain. Canada and the United States, have had "second tholllzhts” about scrapping warships in the normal process of wastage and replacement.

Jane's described the 11.8. Navy as a "colossal fighting force," as big as all the other navles of the world combined. It added that the U.S. has the largest peacetime fleet ever maintained by any country.

The new Janl-'5 Fighting Ships sticks by old figures in a report on the Soviet Union's submarine fleet, by far the world's biggest.

As in its 1951-52 edition, the year book says Russia has at least 37!) submarines afloat and 120 others in various stages of construction.

Soviet security measures make precise information about the Rus- sian armed forces difficult to ob- Lain.

But the Soviet subs. which could wreak havoc on the sea supply routes of the Western World in case of war. far outnumber the 200 now in service with the US. navy. Brit- aln has about 50.

Britain, especially vulnerable to undersea warfare because of de- pendence on food and other sup- plies from abroad. has concentrat- ed much of her new naval buildings on anti-submarine frigates. A num- ber of existing destroyers also are being converted into submarine kill- er ships.

At the same time Britain is ex- perimenting with new slubmarine types of her own and with atomic energy as a. means of propulsion. How far this research has gone is still an official secret.

The United States already has under construction an atom-power- ed sub called the Nautilus.

Freighter Races Freeze-Ilp with Goose Bay Supplies

MONTREAL, Nov. '1 - (CF) .- The coastal freighter Mary Sweeney sailed late yesterday with medical and other supplies for the air station at Goose Bay. Shipping officials said they hoped she can land them safely before the freeze-up.

Supply ships to Goose Bay were caught in ice last year while some distance from there and had to return to Montreal. The ice- breaker C. D. Howe, just back .from a trip in Arctic posts. will join the supply service next week because later use of regular freigh- tera may not be feasible because of ice danger.

During the week-end more than I score of grain-carrying lake freighters are expected to arrive with more than 1,000,000 bushels of grain. At least a dozen ocean ships are here or on the way to take on the grain.

Plan Festival For Playwrights

OTTAWA. Nov. 9 -- (CP)'- 'rhere'll a new twist coming in Canadian dramatic:-a festival for playwrights.

The Ottawa Little Theatre Workshop. chief booster in a, drive to build Canadian playwriting talent, has decided to sponsor a three-night stage run starting Nov. 13. featuring the plays of four talented Canadian writers.

These are the winners in the workshop! 14th annual playwrlt- in competition, a country-wide contest, carrying 3225 In cash awards.

The playwrights themselves will

be here to see their creations stag- ed, as well as Governor-General Vincent Massey, who is expected to attend the Nov. to performance. The winning playwrights are Nell Harris of Saskatoon, John Stuart Harvey of London, Ont, Graham Murray of Hamilton and Mrs. George Cadogan of Durham, Ont. Harris won the 3100 first prize in the competition with an item called "The Dream Unwinds." This is the story of a transient worker who comes back from the wars with a nostalgic vision of home, only to have reality serve him a bitter pill.

Harvey and Murray split the 315 second prize. I-lai-vey's ”And Battles Long Ago" is a rather

tragic tale of a dead. officer and his widow's influence over his three officer friends. Murray look honors with a philosophic com- mentary on conventions in "The Line."

Third prize of 0150 went to Mrs. Cadogan, with t'Rlse And Shine," a droll comedy dealing with two

Eye Bank Gives ' New Hope To Many In ll. K. I

Derek Jamaioln

LEEDS. England. Nov. ii -(R.eui.- era)-New hope was given Thurs- day to thousands of sightleaa Brit- on; on hospital waiting lists for cornea grafting operations. The delicate operation by which a section of the eye of a dead person is removed and grafted to a living. but sightleca, eye has long been recognized. But the problem has been one of supply and wait- ing lists are long.

A panel of doctors. first of its kind in Britain was set up here Thursday to speedily remove eyes from dead persons who have be- qusted them to restore sight to the blind.

This is the outcome of a new law, passed in Parliament last September, sweeping away the outmoded restrictions of the Ana- tomy Act of 1871-designed to foil body-snatcherb-which hampered cornea-graft surgery until Britain lagged behind most of the world. The Anatomy Act decreed noth- ing could be removed from a dead person within 43 hours of death without. the consent of the next- of-kin. Eyes have to be removed for cornea-grafting within 10 hours.

The only eyes available were those removed from patients suf- fering from other diseases and a few from donors who had taken the trouble to surmount the com- plications of the Anatomy Act. Eye hospitals. which required 50 eyes a week received only two or three.

Now that the obstacles have been removed, the only, problem is

operate to remove the ayae quick- ly after death. For this purpose. medical panels like the one here will be set up throughout the country.

chances of euccau. t say are up to to per cent. But only a small percentage of blindneu can be remedied through cornea- gralting alnee blindness may be due to many other cauau than a faulty cornea.
