“The Skipper ordered ‘fire one, fire two, fire three. When we fired No. 3, a. fully-armed torpedo shot right toward the No. 2 mag- azine of the Iowa.

“Someone had forgotten to dis- arm No. 3. When the switch was closed on that one, it went.”

The» scholarships would aver- age about $600 each and would send about 40,000 more students to universities.

Complains OI-cl Slogan Used

LONDON (Reuters) —- Angus Maude, Conservative member of Parliament, complained Tuesday the British army is using a cam- paign slogan originally coined by Oliver Cromwell, the English dic- tator who fell 300 years ago.

“The new model army" is the slogan.

Maude told the Commons it first was applied to an army which “was recruited by the press gang, fought against -and executed its sovereign, forcibly interfered with the privileges of Parliament and established a mil- -itary dictator-ship.”

The policeman said no, he

Que. Advised To Vote With Head

MONTREALI (CP) —— Quebec was advised last night by federal Mines Minister Comtois to vote with the head March 31 rather than with the heart.

Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, the

former Liberal prime minister now retired from active politics, had drawn uebec’s votes in past elections, Mr. Comtois said. “Mr. St. Laurent is a fine man of integrity, honored by all of us, but his time is finished.” Sentiment rather than ‘‘real in- sight into problems” was the fac- tor on whcih the Liberal party based its expectation that Quebec would vote for a man of its lan- guage and culture. Mr. Comtois spoke in support of Jean Marion, Progressive Con- servative candidate in Montreal St. Denis.
