Accommodalion For Naval Reserve Unii Discussed in House

(YYPAWA, Nov. I8 —-(Special)

Defence Minister Claxton told HQ Commons here tonight that his do Dartment proposes to "buy or build" accommodation for g. naval reserve unit in Charlottetown as soon as DPIOTNIES permitted and funds for this purpose became available. ‘ The minister made the statement ln reply to a question asked by W. Chester S. McLure, mc-imber- for Queen's. He gave no indication however when the accommodation would be acquired nor how much lt would be likcly to cost.

Earlier in the afternoon the De- fence Minister made a statement On inlprovcd conditions for military training of both land and naval forces at Charlottetown, also in reply to a query from Mr. McLure. the Queen's member i asked when construction of a ncw armory at Charlottetown would begin in view of lllc fact that a new building had bccn promised for some time past.

"I was tberc (at Charlottetown) mysclf during the sunlmcr," Mr. Claximi said, "and saw the situ- ation. We have nloved one of the major units out of the existing armorics into what was called the gun pal-k or transport park. and that has relieved the congestion in the clcl armories.

"I am also trying to arrange the transfer from the air force of some buildings which can be used by out- lying companies of illc various units in Prince Edward Island. In time we hope to have a new naval re- serve division in Charlottetown. Wc need new buildings for naval rc- serve divisions nt only lhroc of four places across Canada. and Charlottetown ls certainly one of thc-m."

Prospects For Peace Brighter Than Year Ago, Pearson Says

By DOUGLAS HOW

OTTAWA. Nov. l8 — (C?) __ External Affairs Minister Pearson interpreted the international pict- ure on n broad front today and reported it is "brighter" than it was a year ago.

Under four hours of grilling ba- fore the Commons committee on External Affairs, he made these among many other points:

1. There is no sign of Russian yielding on ma1or issues but. "the fact she now knows we are united in resistance to unjust claims is a. big factor in holding them back."

2. Yugoslaviais defiance has "bad an effect" on the iron curtain peo- ples anrl may explain such “defen- sive" measures as appointment of a Russian as Poland's defence minister.

3. In a. list-minute decision, Canada voted~ for Yllgoslaviws ad- mittance to the United Nations Security Council largely bees/use of tllo injury it would do to Tlto's "courageous" resistance if Russia- baokcd Czechoslovakia got: the posts.

4. Canada may enlarge her three-man delegation staff in

Tito’! capital.

5. After a personal conference between himself and State score. tary Acheson. c. committee of Can- adian and American officials are trying to iron out difficulties aris- ing from 0.5. immigration bars to certain Canadians. Something would be done.

6. The Western Powers have inc- cess to “very confidential sources of information" in Russia.

‘f. Spain and the Vatican are among eight or 10 countries which have indicated they would urelcome an exchange of ambassadors with Canada.

8. Technical experts say inter- national inspection of atomic de- velopments is quite feasible be- cause they represent such a tre- mendous undertaking and can't be tucked away "like a Kentucky still.” Bui: the East and West are not budging in their differences about how to obtain atomic con- trol. 9. Both American and British "detecting apparatus" spotted the Russian atomic explosion and roughly pinpointed its time ancl place.

As Scragg headed back for the house, he heard the car door slam. than the sound of a rifle shot from inside the car.

Milledge Selig said he knew of no reason why his brother would kill Mrs. Morro or take his own life. "Ho vzaa in good spirits and seemed fine when I last saw him on Tuesday." he said. Myron was not in any trouble in tile village and he could ln no way account for the slaying.
