Moiity Views Atomic Power WAS!-lil.NG'ION, (AP) - Field Marshal Montgomery say! the ef- fect of atomic bombs is "an im- ponderable" and that it is too early to say how they will affect the size of ground forces needed to defend Europe. "Nobody can say that the atomic weapon has proved that we can do with less forces," he said in a copyrighted interview with the magazine US. News and World Report published today. ”Therc have been no atomic weapons used in the active theatre of war today-Korea. Indo-China, Malaya.-where fighting has been going cii....How will military forces be affected by the progress of science? It will affect the bal- ance, you sccbhow much must exist in peacetime, always ready, and what can come along after war starts... "But there's nothing yet to show that the total force you want has been made less because of the progress of science. It might." Montgomery was interviewed at the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Eurcpe, near Paris. Asked whether atomic weapons would be useful in the defence of western Europe, Montgomery re- plicd: "Certainly. I would never refuse. any weapon. If I were to ciigagc a roughouse in Europe, I would like to know that I should be hacked by atomic power, cer- tainly." 5-Year Term On iiobbery Charge TORONTO, (CP) - William R.

Monaghan died yesterday in the Charlottetown Hospital. She was 84 years old and the only daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Monaghan who came here from Ireland many years ago. After settling in this city Mr. Monsghsn worked here and at one time owned several city pro- perties inciuding that on which the Woolworth store is situated. The late Miss Monaghan was the last surviving member of her family as her three brothers, Pat- riclq Michael and James, all pre- deceased her several years ago. Surviving are several nieces and one nephew, all residing in the United States. The remains were transferred to WARD merits which might make it more, difficult to give their best services.

But consider- ing fiiture prime miiiinters it was "less than fair" to forgo the in- crease. Mr. Drew said that if present rates have stood for 30 years they can remain unchanged a few months more while a. royal com- mimion decides the proper amounts. Examine All Fact! The government always had" argued that Parliament should not increase expenditures without care- ful examination of all the facts. It was "ten times as sound" that a full investigation be made when members themselves were to be the beneficiaries. There was a general belief that indemnlfies for members of the Commons should be adequate. But the government's proposal was a "rolled-up grab bag" involving iii- creasu for senators, cabinet min- isters and btliers.
