Of Destruction in Normandy

By CHARLES B. LYNCH

CAEN, France (Reuters)—Any Canadian who was In Normandy in years ago would receive a num- oer of surprises if he returned .'iCI‘t’ today.

That is the consensus among '.‘anadlan veterans attending the lflih anniversary D-day ceremon- cs The reason is there is so little eridi-nce—outward evidence, that s—of what happened here 10 years

i 0. Kit is almost impossible to be- me that fighting on the scale that nnk place ran the beachheads could ircur and leave so little trace 10 mars later.

The physical scars on the coun- Iryslde, from the beaches inland to :he areas where the break-out bat- tles were fought, have disappeared gnmplciely. In another year or so. when tiie rebuilding of the towns and villages is mpleted, there will be almost nothing left as evi- dence of the Normandy campaign except the monuments and the cemeteries.

LUXURY HOTEL BUILT

A huge waterfront hotel in Saint Aubin has been rebuilt with new stone and stucco. and it is U luxurious as anything to be bound on this part of the coast.

in Bernieres all the houses along the waterfront have been rebuilt and so has the railway station. Almost the only sign of what happened on June 6. 1944, is I niscard near the railway station which says that at thét data

‘there landed in Europe the Allied srmics and the Regiment de La Chaudiere." .

The inland villages where the ‘snadians saw their heaviest fight- ins are almost all back to normal.

There is no village anywhere in Fiance that was ever levelled more thoroughly than Gruchy. be- tween. the Canadian beaches and the city of Caen.

The job of rebuilding Gruchy ii.-is tern a long and a hard one. but today it is near completion.

The nearby villages of Baron and Authie. where the Canadians also had some of their heaviest “illlinil. today look settled and un- disturbed.

New Approach To Epilepsy Cure

WASHINGTON, (AP) — A man who says he has been "reborn" after almost 42 years of sheltered, half-living due to epilepsy, has helped give a nine-year-old girl a gotod chance of escaping such a o .

Diseased tissue taken from the brain of John Unger_ 41, in a del- icate surgical operation apparently has controlled his epileptic seiz- ures for the first time since he was two years old. Moreover, it has helped U.8. government scientists develop a new chemical approach to the control of this ancient dis- ease.

The first to receive apparent bcnent from the new approach is the nine-year-old girl, who until a few months ago, was well on her way to having the strange, almost recluse-like life which had been Unger’s for so many years.

NEW TECHNIQUE

The new chemical technique- stili considered experimental and not fully proven—conslsts oi giv- ing to eplleptics certain chemicals iouiid to be actually deficient in the epileptic brain tissue of Unger and a score of other similar suf- ferers. Unger and these others had undergone a relatively-new surg- ical technique for the removal of tissue as a» means of relieving their seizures.

While the operations were some. in one sense, to improve their con- dltlon, mother broad purpose was to obtain diseased brain tissue for studies on the nature and treat- ment of epilepsy. These studies are being canted on by the Na- tional lristitute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness.

out of research on the cut-out brain tissue came an entirely new concept about epilepsy—namely, that one of the factors of the dis- ease is a deficiency of glutomic acid and aoetycholine in the braln_

Thus, the new approach to treatment consists oi giving epil- optics chemicals which, it is be- lieved. will make up for such cle- flciencies.

Begin’ Discussion Of Strategy In Southeast Asia

“These conversations ,while not

Artillery Veterans

Old soldiers of the last war from gunners to a brigadier gathered at The Charlottetown and at the Armouries Saturday night to greet

one of their former lesders. He was Major Gen. Albert Bruce Mat- thews, C.B.E.. D.s_O., ED. (above) who for a time was second in com- mand of the Islanders in the 2nd Battery.

Practically every rank in the Artillery was represented as Gen. Matthews was entertained by the men with whom he had served in the war. Counties incidents oi the past were recalled, many oi them oi a highly humorous nat- ure, as battles were fought over again or European leaves remem- bered. '

Gen. Matthews received hlscom- mission ln the Third Field Brigade in 1928 and went on active service at the outbreak oi the war with the lat Division and became officer commanding the 15th Field Bat- tery.

He was awarded the D.S.O. in Sicily for his special deployment oi the guns during the assault on Aglra when it became necessary to maintain a barrage in front oi the infantry at the start oi the attack.

He was welcomed here by Brig G. G_ K. Peake, D.S.O., oflicer commanding 3 AGRA and former officer commanding the 28th L.A. A. Regiment. Meeting him at the Armouries were majors. captains. lieutenants, sergeant majors, serg- eants and other ranks -who gave the general a royal welcome. He was thoroughly happy to see them and greeted them all as old friends.

New Legislation For Highways

OTTAWA (CP)——'1‘he government will shortly introduce legislation in the Commons empowering the provinces to hold jurisdiction on lntei-provincial and international highway traffic.

Transport. Minister Chevrier gave notice of the government's inten- tion on the Commons order paper

introduced early next week.

The question of whether the provinces or the federal govern- ment has control over highway traffic between the provinces and internationally has been the sub- jcct oi court disputes for years.

However, the Privy Council ruled that only the federal government has jurisdiction over such controls. As a result. Mr. Chevrlcr met with provincial cabinet ministers to work out new agreements. allow- ing the provinces to continue pres- ent laws and regulations.

GUELPH. 0nt.. (CP)—Msgis- trate Frederic Watt has started on his and year in office here. When he tonducted_his first court in 1913. he succeeded Thomas H. Saunders who had been magistrate for 41 years.

tion oi alleged Communists at It. Monmouth, N. J.

The texts of the monitored phone calls will be placed in evidence Monday at the televised hearings on the row between Mccarthy and aides and the army camp.

The Mccarthy-Stevens trans- cripts made available on Saturday night are dated last Nov. '1. Jan. 14 and Feb. 20.

The Feb. 20 talk was one placed by Stevens to Mccai-thy. In it stov- ens informed the Wisconsin sena- tor that Sievens had ordered Brig.- Gen. Ralph W. zwicker not to re- spond to a subpoena summoning the general to a public hearing, unless guarantees were forthcom- ing that zwicker would not be a target for "abuse". -

McCarthy had heavily criticised zwicker, implying he was unfit to command. This was at a closed hearing on the question why the army promoted snd honorably dis- charged Ms]. Peress. army dentist whom McCarthy calls "s. fifth amendment Communist."

STORMY TIDE

The Feb. 20 conversation was I stormy one. in which Stevens an- nounced that he had protested per- sonally, to five of Ilccarthrs fel- low members of the Senate invest- igations sub-colnmitiee, concerning the treatment of zwicker.

The convtrsailon swung to Stev- ens‘ order to zwlcker and other gen:-rols not to testify before get-

General Matthews TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS nroucro oven Has Reunion With. 40 PER CENT DURING SAFETY WEEK

Toronto Firm Gets Contract

It has been officially learned that the firm of R. A. myth 01 Toronto has received the contract to construct the approaches to the New Montague bridge which this firm completed only a, few months ago. It is understood from this source that the work will begin in the near future as soon as materi- als arrive at the site. _

At present Mr. Peter Roach. foreman of the company, who di- rected the construction of the bridge, is engaged constructing a new wharf at Murray River, and it is expected that another man from the company will be sent here to direct the construction of the approaches, which it is under- stood will require only a few months to complete.

Composer's Skull United With Body 1

VIENNA, Austria. (Reuters) Composer Joseph 1-£aydn’s skull- the right one this time—got to- gether with the rest of his body Saturday.

The reunion, ending 150 years of separation, was the climax to a day of official ceremonies marked by a 40-mile motorcade of music lovers to the little town of Eisen- stadt where Hadyn is buried.

When the composer died in 1809 he was buried here. but soon after his patron, Prince Esterhazy, or- dered the body exhumed for re- burial at Eisenstadt where the prince _had built a tomb for it.

The grave diggers who opened Hadyn's burial place in Vienna found that the composers skull was missing from the body.

The prince ordered police to find the mLsslng skull.

It turned out police, unable to find the right skull and fearful of the prince's wrath, had supplied a substitute.

The real skull, meanwhile. had fallen into the hands of a phren- ologist, one of those people who tell fortunes by reading the bumps on the head.

Eventually. it was given to the Vienna Society of Friends of Music who kept it until today as a sacred relic of the great composer.

Feeling Increases, Against Yoshida

By JOHN RANDOLPH

TOKYO (AP)-—Feeling against Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida has grown so bitter. that news- papers are speculating that assas- sination is the only way to get rid

him.

Every day Yoshida, who has I 30 - man bodyguard. is called I “shameless dictator"—or worse.

Thursday his Socialist opposition became\so aroused in their op- position to a police nationalization bill that they started a riot in the House of Representatives. The speaker's pants were torn off; women legislators were man- handled; 50 persons were hurt; 200 policemen had to restore order and Yoshida postponed a world

ur. ALARMING STORIES

Almost daily there are alarming stories. There are huge scandals involving business men and pol- iticians. Debate is heated over disquieting legal proposals to sil- ence outspoken school teachers and strengthen the police. There is the- continuing paradox of a nation that would like U.S. troops to go home but shrinks from building an army of its own.

Above all, there are the out- spoken, ruthless and unending st- tacks on 76-year-old Yoshida-—who keeps on winning what he wants. He towers today as Japan's one commanding figure.

Actually all is not bad from the Western point of view. The process now going on could turn Japan into a real parliamentary democ- racy.

RIGID CODE

Out of 1,500 years of recorded history had grown I rigid code tending toward indirect govern- ment. It was considered gross bad manners for a man to seek power openly.

Real power has been shadowy: A board. a commission. a family clan, a clever priest, a chief clerk. a fuedal lord of an obscure ad- viser. The Second World War's I-lideki Tojo was just a spokesman for an extremist army clique.

The end of the war tore down much of the old system and cleared the way for a new deal. The first man to see it was Yoshida. He has emerged in the last five years as the toughest, most successful parliamentarian Japan has ever had. "
