By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP) — The Cana-) jdian Army’s two heavy brigades |

.|—in Europe and at Camp Gage-

town, N.B.—will be equipped. with self - propelled 155 - milli- metre howitzers at a cost of ap- proximately $40,000,000, officials have disclosed.

They emphasized that though the howitzer cam carry, a nu- clear warhead it will be armed only with conventional explo- | sive.

Delivery of the 50 howitzers— 25 for each brigade—in 1968 will fill the last major deficiency of

these units.

The other major deficiency had already been plugged by purchase of some 1,000 M-113 armored troop carriers.

The self-propelled howitzers, which travel on their own tracks instead of being towed, will. add | to the mobility of the brigade in | Europe. They can move at 20 miles an hour cross-country and can swim rivers.
