Seeks lieformatory For Medium-Term Maritime Prisoners

HALIFAX. Jan. l5 —(CP) Efforts to have a reformatory for ‘medium-term prisoners establish- .‘ ed in the Maritimcs still are being . pursued by the Nova Scotia Gov- icrnment, Attorney-General J. H.

MacQuarl-ie announced: today. He iadded that his department was

seeking an organizer and superin- tendent for the proposed institu- tion.

The Attorney-General said dis- icussions had been going on for l some time between Nova Scotia

and Ottawa Justice Department , New Brunswick and lPriuce Edward Islttn had sup- ported Nova Scotias proposal for la Maritime institution as part of the federal prison and refor- maiory system. The proposal for a federally administered Mari- iiimc reformatory was a recom- mendation of (he Archambault report.

Provincial authorities in Nova Scotia now are making a survey of the number of prisoners do- ing medium terms who would serve their sentences in such an institution rather than ln local- or county jails.

Opening olt such an institution would remove prisoners serving terms of between 60 days and two years from county jails. many

of which are overcrowded. The

(iBy Michael 0‘Marni LONDON. Jan. 15—(CP)—A l3-_ foot submersible canoe- cross be- tween an Eskimo kayak anti a Buck Rogers crash boat-wits uscd “successfully" against enemy ves- sels from 1943 until the was"; end. but the Admiralty will not revell details of the canoes triumphs. Pictures of the smallest under- twatcr craft in the world. anti tile lonly one-man vessel of its type capable of resurfacing once it is lsubmerged, has been permiittti to appear" in publicutioils but security still covers many aspects oi the - craft and its work. l H. Q. A. Reeves, former British lArmy infantry officer. who per- l fccted the craft and acted as chief f test pilot. was permitted ‘.0 :cvc:|l i these facts: , The motorized submersible canoe lis fully decked. fitted with two [electric motors operating a single screw. It is l2 fcct, cillht illcllfifl llong with p, beam of 27 inches.

Submersible Canoe Was Useful Craft

sci can be partially submerged to travel with only the operator's hold above water or it can be io- taiiy submerged- ‘

The vessel's cruising range is 40 nautical miles at n1 speed of 3 1-2 knots.

The pilot wears a heavy rubber suit fitted with an oxygen mask permitting submersion of 90 min- utcs. Underwater, the vessel tmvels at a normal depth of 30 fcct but can dive lower and at 50 feet can loo-p the loop. "

RCCVCs said the canoes were standard equipment on many Bri- tish submarines-more than 300 were used during the war-mud without amplification added that

they also had been usctl hy the Americans. No_ Admiralty communique has

ever attributed dam-age to enemy vessels to the canoes and Admir- alty intelligence are silent on the subject-but they do not deny Reeves’ account.
