New, Vital Phase Begins

I n Civil Defe

By ll. L. JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer ARNPRIOR. Ont. (CF)-A new

sod vital phase in Canada's civil dt-retire program began Friday. one that could mean life or death for the man in the street in case of war.

A class of 45 doctors from across the country. the first medical men to take a course at the national Civil Defence College here. grad- ttated with new knowledge of what to expect in nuclear warfare and it-ti.-it they can do about it.

They were told by experts they could expect mess casualties in case of l-I-bomb attack and bow radiation victims might be saved. They heard of the dangers of food and it.-tier contamination and how It rnuld I1! met.

Earlier this I week they were given the grim details of a nerve gas that can kill in 10 minutes unless the drug atropine is admin- lslPl'f-fl immediately along with IrIlll(lIBI respiration.

A("r Al TEACHERS

The doctors. representing every pmvince but Prince Edward island and Newfoundland and mostly from the country's big in- dustrit . will act as teachers of the medical lessons in their own oommunitlen.

CD ufflcllll said ollmr courses will follow. and it "is ed event- nallrlo train - to provide a cross-Cantnia thread of medical personnel with the basic knuw-how to meet the prob- lems of the nuclear age.

The men who ve thollessons were the cnuntrys best in their fields. They came from) Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.. the fed- eral health department, the de- fence rest-arch board. medical unl- versiltes and hospitals.

The tenor of their lectures was that. while the prospects iior sur- vival in ' . chemical or bi- olOlZi('al war seem pretty black. they areuit hopeless. With a co-or- (IllliilPfI plan. starting at the local int-I, murh could be done to save

The final lecture was given by Dr. W. D. Piercey. executive di- rector of the Canadian hospital Association. He told of efforts to get every one of Canada's 1.300 hospitals to organize an individual disaster plan that could be ex- panded in time of war. It en- visages hospitals being able to double their patient capacity.

The medical class also heard from a psychiatrist-Dr. J. S.

He advised that keeping people oc- cupied with useful tasks is one of the best kinds of mental therapy .in tlrne of emergency.

British Comm Home Rule For Wales Bill

By WALTER DAVIES

LONDON (Reuters)--The House of Commons hes reiected by a vote

I -to 14 I bill to give hbrne rule to Wales.

Both Conservatives and Labor members Friday opposed the cre- ation of a Welsh Parliament with the same powers over domestic affairs as the Parliament of North- ern Ireland.

Introduced by 8. C. Davies. the bill would have set up a 72- member legislature sitting at Cardiff. I

It would have had power to veto laws from Wales passed by the British House of Commons. but would have no aiithorily over for- eign pollcy, national defcnlie or foreign trade. Meanwhile. Welsh MPs would continue to sit in the House of Commons. Wales has 86 representatives in the 625-seat Ilouse of Commons.

MANY MEMBERS ABSENT

Friday's small vote was due to the weekend exodus of MP3 to their coiislituencies.

Davies argued there has been an uprising in Wales in support of the bill and it would continue until Wales was recognized as "some- thing more than an area or a region." g

Some Welsh natitiiialist groups are anxious to keep the Welsh lan- guage alive and have argued that Wales has protiuced a culture of its own. separate from Enilllnfl
