Major G. Huntley Gordon, a Zrlduntc in science of Dalhousie Universityand vice-president of the Dominion ‘Foundries and Steel Limited. Hamilton. died Saturday morning in the Victoria General Hospital. Death followed an ill- ness of a week.

The youngest son of the late Rev. D. M. Gordon, former minis- ter of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Halifax. Major Gordon served with the Canadian Army overseas in the First World War.

A native of Winnipeg, howent to Halifax at an early age and was educated in that city. He graduated in Science from Dal- housie University and later ot- tended Cornell University.

Sinca the end of the First World War he has been associ- ated with the Dominion Found- ries and Steel Limited In Hamil- ton, Ontario.

His father, the late Rev. D. M. Gordon, former minister of St. Andrew's Church, was later a member of the faculty of Pine Hill Divinity College, and prin- cipal of Queens University in Kingston, Ont.

Surviving are one brother, Rev. Dr. A.M. Gordon, district Protest- ant chaplain at Halifax during the second World War, and a sis- ter. Miss Wilhelmina Gordon. Both were with him in Halifax when he passed away.

The funeral will be held in Kingston, Ont.’ ‘ .

Major Gordon visited the Island only two weeks ago with his bro- ther Rev. Dr. A. M. Gordon and while in Charlottetown they vis- ited their aunt Mrs. A. E. Mor- rison and Mr. Morrison. and their cousin Miss KatherineMaclliennan. R. N. Miss MacLennan has been in Halifax for the last week with him in his illness.

New Principal For West KentSchool

At a special meeting of the City t Board of School Trustees ‘held yel- terday afternoon with Dr. R. G. Lea presiding, Mr, C. Fred I-Iine was appointed to the vacancy of Principal of West Kent School, I which position became vacant due to the regretted continued illness of Mr. H. W. Yeo, who had been Principal of the school since 1933, and who has now been placed on pension. '

As has been done by the Board on former occasions applicants were asked through the pren to apply for the important position, and though several appiicatio were received from well qualified persons both within and without the Province, it was felt that the experience and qualifications of Mr. I-lina well merited the appoint- I ment. Mr. I-lins was first apponitcd to the staff of West Kent-School in 1922, and appointed 1st Vice Principal in July 1934, Mr. I-lino has worked hard during his many years on the staff of the school and it is felt his promotion in well earned.

Canada. May Supply Arms

A separate State Department analysis also indicated that Can- ada might be called upon to act as a supplier of the countries aid- ed by the arms legislation. It said the President is authorized to ob- tain supplies from outside as well as inside the United States.

Administration leaders sought fast action on the arms legislation request, although there was a dis- position even among some Tru- man backers to scrutinize care- fully the size of the sum sought.

Senator Arthur Vandenberg (Rep. Mich), his party's foreign policy leader, said the President's program shculd be “rewritten and curtailed" if Truman expects act- ion at this session of Congress.

Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, Democratic leader, said:

"I'm for an arms implementation program. It ls up to Congress. however. how much it wants to ap- propriate and I'm not passing on that in advance."
