Maj-Gen. Elkins Named In Charge OfEastCommand

Canadian coin? Defences On Atlantic To Come Under Con- trol Of 57-year-old General.

OTTAWA, Aug. 5 —(OP) —Ap. Dointment of Mai-Gen. William H. P. Eikins as the officer in charge of Canada's new eastern military command was announced today. In his new post General Elklm will, be responsible for the land do. fence_of thousands of miles of coastline.

Since 1938 he has been Master- General of the ordnance at nation- al defence headquarters here, in charge of supplies for the Canad- ian forces.

Now the long, indented shores of Nova Smtla. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the simllarfl ly indented shore of Newfound- land and the rocky coasts of the (385719 peninsula, the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Eastern Quebec and the coast of Labrador will be his to guard a- gainst any invader who may cross the sea. -

The forces which will eventually come under the 57-year-old general include the coastal defence forces 119W Operating in the Maritime Pro- vinces, the garrison in Newfound- land, and all units of the Canad- inn Active Service Force and the non-permanent. active militia notw stationed in the area assigned to the command.

Creation of a military command of this type is something new in Canadian defence history. It ls de- siuncd to meet the special defence problems which arise from the geographic position and it ls un- likelyi. for the present at least, that any similar organization will be es- tablished elsewhere in Canada.

The Maritime Provinces and ad- jaceiit territory are not only the part of Canada lying closest to the Empire's enemies in Europe, but the are a vital link in the chain o the Empire's war organi- zation.

In that area are the ports of departure for hundreds of ship- loiids of troops and supplies destin- ed for tthe United Kingdom.

Large forces may eventually be stationed in the area.

The 3rd and 4th divisions of the Canadian Active Service Force, now receiving training in various ports of Canada, will not. be sent overseas unless and until the war takes a different turn than ls now indi- catecl. When they are ready for act-ion they will undoubted] be sta- tioned in whatever part o Canada is most likely to see fighting. That part now is the Maritime Provin-

Nazi Denials Import- ant Port a Shambles

LONDON. Aug. 5—(CP)—A.llred Duff Cooper, lVllnls-ter of Informa- tion, said tonight that the Royal Ar Force registered direct hits in every one of 23 bombing attacks on the German port city of Hamburg since May life-part of Britain's 4B raids into Qermany during the last 56 nights.

Mr. Duff Cooper's statement was made in reply to Ger-anon attempts to deny the Air Ministrys state- ment that Hamburg, greatest. of continental ports, had been reduced virtually to a shambles.

(During last, week-end United States correspondents were taken by Nazi officials on a. carefully- conducted tour of the grea-l sprawl- ing poi-t, but were not, permitted to explore for themselves.)

Mr. Duff Cooper said the oil de- pots were attacked 14 times, the docks six times, the railways three times and the Hamburg alrdrcme twice. “In some oases," he said, “fires were started whlch were seen as much as 80 miles away on the bombers’ return journey."

The Minister of Information commented that in a city as large as Hamburg damage to scattered munitions factories might not have been seen from a single observation point. and only a small part of t.he 20 miles of docks could be observ-
