Storm Ties Up All Traffic In West Prince E Provincial Command of the Canad- F, was that D.V.A. has been unable THE GUARDIAN. The Summer-std branch of the Canadian Legion have strongly protested directly. and through the lan Legion. what thev believe is a ruling by Dr. R.H. Kennedy. De- partment of Veterans Affairs Dis- trict medical officer. at Charlotte- town to the effect that veterans entitled to hospitalization dtie to pensionable disability are not al- lnwed to enter the Prince County Hospital except in cases of emer- gency. The reason given for this ruling to get reasonably prompt returns of the records t-eouii-ed bv D. V. A. from the Prince. County Hospital. Strong protest was voiced to this ruling. in to resolution that was passed at the last meeting of the Lt-"inn one month ago. Copies of this resolution were forwarded to the Provincial Presi- dent of the Legion. the district ad- ministrator of I).V.A.. and the Minister of Veterans Affairs at Ot- tawa. As a result. the Legion was ad- vised that if a responsible hospital official would write the D. V. A. of- fice in Charlottetown undertaking that proper reports for such pa- tients would be promptly sent in. the order would be rescinded. At the request of the Legion. the Siside Legion Protests Hospitalization Ruling CHARLOTTETOWN time as returns to this office prove more satisfactory". Legion officials are at a loan to understand how the returns can be made more satisfactory until patients are allowed to enter the hospital and such returns become necessary. The situation at present means that such veterans have to no to Charlottetown for hospital treat- meant. while mru of them would much prefer to no to the local hos- nital where their friends and rela- lives can visit them. and where thev can receive the attention of their own doctor. As long as this order remains in effect the Prince County Hospital and Prince Coun- ty doctors are being denied revenue from this particular source. The interest of the Summerside branch in this matter is said to be only in getting the order rescind- ed in the interest of the Prince County veterans. If the local hospital has been at fault it is in their own interest in have this fault corrected. If not, the Legion looks for further ex- piaination from D.V.A.. and they believe that the one recent case of delay admitted. in which a pat- ient's record was not returned as promptly as it should have been. can scarcely be deemed serious enough to warrant D. V. A.'s action. president of the hospital board. Mr. J. F.

Bomb Proof ' Experts say the new base will be virtually bomb-proof, chiefly because of its size. Even the larg- est bomb, they say, "would only make one more hole in the ocean or perhaps make us a third en- trance to our new harbor." The dikes will be so wide, they say, that no bomb could break them open or do more than lim- ited damage. A plan for construction was drawn up in 1947. its estimated cost at that time was about 57. 500.000. The pltfh calls for con- struction of two large sea basins. many acres of buildings and workshops. a score of double-sized berths for warships of all sizes. a floating dry dock to hold the largest known battleship and huge protecting dikes. The work is going on in the Wadden sea, the stretch of water between the zuyder Zee dike and -the Frisian Islands. the chain of ilslands fringing Holland in the lNorth sea. i The project is divided into two parts. The first basin will be ltinlshcd in 1954. the second in l957. The project is being paid for ,entirely out of normal budget ifunds.

The King's death liot only. an in Prime Minister Winston Churchill's phrase, "stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th-century life," but also forced a postpone- ment of party strife at n time when labor seemed set to offer stern parliamentary opposition. With the King's funeral set for today, normal work in the House of Commons15 not expected to he resumed until the following Tuesday. The unexpected low of parliamentary time will have the effect of telescoping into a few weeks, matters that would ordin- arily require longer discussion. As previously announced, the budget will be brought clown March 4. in the brief interval between next Tuesday and March 4 the Commons therefore will have to take up such unfinished business as the Foreign Affairs debate. which adjourned with 3. Labor tnn::on of censure still on the bottks, and .1 number of govern- ment hills which have been pith- ltsltc-ti but not yet discussed. (the of the most controversial is the National Health Service Bill lillilih seeks to put. an annual ceiling of I-f-00.000000 on the countr,x's "free" health service. The addmonal pressure exert- ed by the abbreviation of the parliatiictitary timetable may well intcr.si.'y the controversy ex- ,pectcti to develop within the next few wecks.

A few guesses can be made labout the coming conduct of the parties. The Conservative stra- , tcgy seems to be to provoke as lit- tle partisan opposition as possible. .at the same time not shrinking gfrom unpopular policies. As for Lnbor. the trend will almost cer- lfiinly he to the left. though not necessarily as far as rebel leader Ancurin (Nye) Bevan and his fol- lowers would like. Such a shift may not be of .grcat. significance. Parties in op- .position always tend to be tugged ;towards the left. During its period 'in office, the Labor government iwas always to the right of the iparty as it whole. In opposition. ltbe movement to the left may merely he a natural adjustment. There have been colorful re- ports of a. split within the labor ranks, of a. weakening of trade- union opposition to the Bevan lgroup and of an all-out bid by the ”Bevanites" to capture the party leadership. It is this corresporiclcnt'I guess. based partly on conversations with a former Labor minister. that the reports can be largely discounted and that Bevan is no ;ncarer to being party leader than t he was.
