R TODAY

PARIS (AP) - Queen Elizabeth has gone sophlsticat ” for her: Paris visit. Her clothes are thel sensation of this world fashion centre. And Norman Hartnell, the royal dressmaker, is all smiles about it.

For the first time, the Queen is wearing straight-skirted suits. simvle slim sheaths for gala even- ings, and even a black coat. All this Is a complete "new look." displacing the previously inevit- able princess flared costumes, bil- lowing ball gowns. and pastel tints

Hartnell is the man responsible. He told Wednesday how he did it.

”I submitted about 10 sketches for each occasion. among them just one slim version. which I hoped the Queen would fall for. She did."

He rubbed his hands and beamed.

"I guess everybody grows up. The Queen's new styles are cer- tainly more sophisticated. But smart is a word some people don't like. The Queen has to dress to pleas "Do

e, and not astound." I think the change is perm-

'couraged her to wear reveal:

Queen's Clothes 5 Are Sensation

anent Well, no."

But on this enigmatic note llc rc- fused to expound. SLIMMEII FIGURE

It is an easy guess that the Queen's slimmer figure has im-

"3 sheaths and narrow skirts.

The Queen arrived in a slim- skirtcd suit. And her white lace and silver sheath gown for the British Embassy reception Tues- day night caused gasps of: "Oh, how tiny she is!"

Wednesday morning she gave protocol another blow by going to the Meudon Sports Club reception and Scottish Church in a black coat. with revers of while silk. It was believed the only time she has even worn black in public, except when she was in mourning for her father.

I-Iartnell says that. contrary to the rumors. the Queen's skirts are not weighted at the hem to pre

vent them blowing up in the wind-'

"It's only good luck if the larger ones don't," he said. "but obviously a slim skirt can't blow up."

OTTAWA (CP) Repeated warnings that Canada must be able to dgfend itsel Iallnst mis- sile - lannniagr? submarines are contained -in a

defence tabled Wednesday in the Commons by Defence Minister Campney.

It is the first time in half a dozen years that such a theme has taken precedence over the air defence of Canada in the govern- merIt's annual defence report.

Air defence is dismissed in a few paragraphs. I ' ” this one:

"It is recognized that a sudden. ferocious air attack on the NATO countries would call forth immed- iate and intensive retaliation. There would be an interval of a week or two before retaliation is fully effective."

After that, the 60-page. green- covered booklet alludes time and again to the threat from the sea:

INCREASED SIGNIFICANCE

”Soviet concentration on the buildup of a large IIIbITl8I'llIc fleet and the prospect of long - range submarines with a capability of launchlngl atomic missiles from several undred miles off shore has given an increased signif- icance to the anti-submarine role of the Maritime forces of NATO countries as a further essential el- ement of the (war) deterrent. "in this connection Canada is one of the principal countries pro- viding maritime forces for the su- preme allied commander. Atlan- tic. The primary role of the royal Canadian navy has for some years been anti - submarine war- fare in all its aspects.

"The latest appraisals of the threat at sea have resulted in a new emphasis by the RCN and the RCA!-"s maritime command on the development of forward operational systems and new tech- niques for locating and dealing with hostile submarines well

HALIFAX (C?) - Thousands turned out along this eastern port Wednesday to bid farewell to the aircraft carrier Magnificent as she sailed seaward on her final voyage under the colors of the Royal Canadian Navy.

The 13.000-ton carrier is being returned to the Royal Navy from whom she was loaned to Canada nine years ago.

A navy band played Auld Dang Syne. naval jets screamed and helicopters lumbered across the harbor as the Maggie slipped quietly away from her jetty. Snap- ping stiffly in the April breeze from her mast were both her de- commissioning pennant and the Union Jack.

All were out to bid goodbye- ihe top naval brass. the ordinary seamen. civic officials and thou- sands of Haligoniens and their neighbors from Dartmouth.

He received categorical assurance from the Minister that Prince Edward Island would be included in the Maritime Provinces "Grid" as outlined in the budget last March 16. At present. suffi-

cient electric energy to meet im- mediate needs is being generated in plants of the Province. but ad- ditional power will be made avail- able as soon as these needs in- crease. the Premier said.

April Storm Ties Up Traffic

Most of the main roads on the Island were open for traffic last night but Highways officials were unable to state whether they would be fit for travelling today due to a heavy ground drift which per- sisted throughout the day. It is understood that the Department will carry out a restricted snow removal program due to the ef- fects of heavy machines on paved highways. All secondary roads re- mained blocked.

About eight inches of snow hi! on the Island since noon Tu and this was whipped into fairly deep drifts by winds which at times reached a velocity of 35 miles per hour. There was no oc- caslon for the city plows to work on the streets of Charlottetown.
