NEW ARTIFICIAL HAND LONDON, England - (CP)— A new artificial hand. developed by a Londoner and a young Irish archi- tect. is said to have almost the appearance and dexterity of its human counterpart. Email rubber pads are set in finger-tips and pain, and a shoulder-bride con- trol enables the wearer to grasp an object with an almost inperceptible shrug. New and more liberal regulat- ions for providing assistance in the construction of bait . freezing and storage facilities, have been announced by the Department of Fisheries. Mr. J. Watson Mac. Naught. M.P., parliamentary as- sistant to the Minister of Fisher- ies. informed The Guardian over the weekend. This announcement ivili be of great interest to those engaged in the fishing industry in this Province because the need for cold storage facilities to pro- vide fresh bait for cod fishing has become a matter of extreme zmportance. This summer. for a time. there was a serious short- age oi’ bait but this has now been overcome, to some extent. by the appearance of fall mackerel. Bu‘. one person interested in the in- dustry told The Guardian that fall mackerel are too nice a fish to be used for bait. Mackerel caught in the spring and kept. in - a. frozen condition till the cod fishing season opens ia the proper bait, he said. _ Regulations have been in force since 1930 to give assistance in the construction of cold storage facilities but they were so re- strictive that they were not taken advantage of and this has now been recognized by the Depart- ment; in passing this new order m council. entitled, “Regulations for providing assistance in the construction of bait. freezing and (Co—ntlnued. m.

Aug. ‘a0 - (Monday) _ (AP) Fomer premier Robert Schuman, a mElnber of the Mouvement Republlcain Populaire agreed early today to try to form a new French cabinet after So- cialist Paul Raznadier had failed. Schuman was Foreign Minister in the cabinet Premier Andre Marie's coalition overninent which fell Saturday after- a term or one month. Schuman said he would begin consultations with party leaders later today. Ramadler, as was expected. went through the motions of trying to for-m a cabinet. He spent nine hours talking to political leaders of the various parties. Then he adopted the usual pro- cedure or telling Agence France- Press of his giving up, rather than making an official an- nounccment to French and for- eign newspaper men. The official announcement was not mgr-lg 1m. til several minutes later. Schuman's choice as ihg aeec-nd leader to try his hand was ex- Peclfid. However, his failure also was anticipated unless some now unforeseen new factor should en- ter the picture to heal the breach between the parties. Many observers who are pre- dicting a Schuman failure grill felt the crisis would degenerate into an impasse which would re- sult ‘in a. dissolution of fihg Na- tional Assembly. Explaining his failure, Ramad- ier said he had succeeded in win- ning full support from his own Socialist Party and the M.R..P. faction. He said he got only par- tial conditional approval from the Radical Socialists.
