U. S. Atlantic Fleet ,Now On Alert Basis

NORFOLK, Va. (AP: . The L'niicd States Atlantic Fleet com- mnnder has placed all combatant Ships and units on a 24-hour alert basis, invoking what the navy terms ”port and starboard watch." This limits liberty to no more than half the personnel of any unit or ship at one time.

Fleet headquarters confirmed Thursday that the "50 per cent liberty" order has been issued by Admiral Jerauld Wright, com- mander of the Atlantic Fleet and the U.S. Atlantic area.

This move in fleet operational readiness means Wright's more than 200 warships-.from escort de- stroyers through super - aircraft carriers-and air units are on the line for any contingency.

Under nonnal conditions a ship. in port is re tried to have only about 30 per ent of its crew on board during liberty hours. The new directive keeps at least half the crew on every ship at all times.

iMay Move Soon To Middle East

OTTAWA (CP) - The govern- ment Thursday picked the lat Bat- Lalion, Queen's Own Rifles of Can- ada, as the major component of he Canadian contribution to the United Natons police force for the Middle East.

The battalion will concentrate at Halifax and chances that t will move quickly to the Middl East increased Thursday night.

Earlier Thursday. officials said no Canadian troops will be dis- patched to the Middle East until

the situation there is clarified. The ha

government doesn't want the 1,- 200-man Canadian c " gent 3 get involved in any fighting.

By Thursday night, the Middle East situation seemed to be clear- ing up a little. Israel indicated it is prepared to withdraw from ter- ritory occupied in the lightning assault on Egypt and, in its turn, EEYD1 agreed to admittance of 10 observers into the Suez Canal area.

Britain and France have indi- cated they won't withdraw from the Suez Canal Zone until the UN force is on the spot ready to take over policing operations.
