In August the By RON EVANS Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Backed by a defence budget of £1,636,000,000, Britain in 1953 went shopping for the best weapons available to equip her fighting forces, swollen to a peacetime peak. By Oct. 1 there were 863,900 men and women under arms, some 531,000 regulars, 309,000 serving un- der the national service scheme and 23,800 filling out the women's services. More than 500,000 more stood ready in reserve and auxil- iary ranks. About 20 per cent of the total fighting units were stationed Britain. The rest were scattered through Europe, the Middle East and Asia. "We've about reached the. limit on manpower," said one defence ministry official. "We're now spending money on "re'equipping our forces." CAUTIOUS SPENDING Although there was plenty of money in the purse--almost £25. 000,000 more than in 1952--it still Minister Churchill told the House of Commons in March that the government was pursuing the "twin but divergent objectives of financial solvency and military se- curity." He said that by adjust- ments and spreading-out of funds the government was attempting to bring military expenditures within the limits of what the country could afford. One of the bigger items on the bill was £100,000,000 earmarked for defence research, up 40 per cent from 1952. To the army, with a strength of in (445,900, went £581,000,000. Particu- lar success in the re-equipping campaign was registered in ar- mored divisions. Biggest news in this connection was the announce- ment in September that a new tank, the Caernarvon, faster, heay- ier and better armored than the famed Centurion, had been devel- oped. New complex shells and rocket weapons began piling up. Almost as much money--£548,- '000,000--was tabbed for develop- delta-winged jet bomber, the Avro | Vulcan. Foreign experts envied super- sonic jets sueh as the Supermarine Swift, the Gloster Javelin and the (Hawker Hunter at the Farnbor- {ough air show in September. In the same month, Sqdn. Ldr.

Officials reporttd the RAF well stocked with Canberra jet bomb- ers and before the end of the year operation "Becher's Brook' --the ferrying of 400 Canadian - built Sabre Jet fighters to Britain--was completed. Britain's own fighter production received a setback, when a prototype of the Super- marine Swift crashed during trials in November and not a single squadron of jet fighters had been formed by the end of December.

'r ] / J WARSHIP OPENED FIRE story for the first time. By JACK MacBETH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--A trim cable ship named Monarch in 1955 will start to lay the first telephone cable across the North Atlangic ocean. Until nine years ago there was another Monarch. She was beached in England seven days after D- Day in the Second World War un- der - circumstances that can only happen in war. She was severely damaged by gunfire from a United States destroyer. This is the story, never before told publicly of the old Monarch and her British crew, and of her }ast friend, a Canadian corvette. HIGH-PRIORITY JOB Rt was about 2:10 am. June 18, 10. Monarch was laying 120 miles of cable between England +and British headquarters on the * Normandy beachhead, a '"high- priority" operation. at her cable, strung astern e a heavy leash, Mon- +arch was making about three knots, escorted by the Canadian corvette Trentonian, a little more than half her size. As Trentonians' navigator, I was on the bridge. About 10 miles of the cable had been alid within 24 hours. Suddenly two star shells burst above the darkened ships. Ahead was a destroyer, presumably Then in a noisy flash, rapid sal- vos screamed toward Monarch and | her escort. | There was no return fire from her hull looked as though a huge tries, and now the U.S. has a de- bomb had burst above the upper |cided advantage in that it must deck. {win only one of the two remain- Meanwhile, the destroyer sent a|ing singles scheduled for Wednes- stunned boarding party to Tren-|day.

Trentonian, lower in the water than Monarch, escaped with al minor graze as most of the shells screamed overhead. Monarch was | not so lucky. THREE MEN KILLED When the shooting stopped, I was ordered to take one of Trentonian's | sea-boats to pick up survivors an investigate amage aboard the cable ship. We found three men had been killed and more than a score badly injured. Trentonian took aboard about 35 survivors, including the wounded. One of them, Monarch's captain, though, with 10 miles of the French coast, they had been watching closely for invasion traffic or any- thing of unexpected nature. | Trentonian was ordered to sub- mit a report to naval authorities but the incident never was made public.

Trentonian? She was torpedoed and sunk in the English channel in February, 1945 seven months after I left her to join a Canadian motor torpedo boat flotilla. One officer and five men went down with her. QUEBEC CHAMBER CLAIMS: - Motorists Must Fear Laws If Road Travel To Be Safe QUEBEC (CP)--Court proceed- ings and heavy penalties should be the first step in any highway safety drive, the Quebec province Cham- ber of Commerce said today. The 25,000-member chamber said in a brief prepared for submis- 3 sion to the Quebec government too many motorists break the law "because they feel safe or do not fear nalties."" "A law is effective only as much as it is observed and it is best observed if sanctions are feared," said the 35 page brief which dealt mostly with highway safety.

Mr. Robinson sald the present number Faduating from the On- tario College of Education as high school teachers barely meets the 300 required each year as normal replacements, he OSSTF general secretary listed four other possible steps be- sides recruiting British teachers to meet the shortage: Lower require- ments for secondary school teach- ers, the transfer of grade nine from high school to public school, the setting up of senior public schools staffed by public school teachers covering grades seven to 10 inclusive, and the introduction of a three-year university course for teachers. The decision by the Australian selectors to break up the Hoad- Rosewall team which won the Wimbledon, French and Australian championships, drew criticism from observers here. However, Sir Norman Brookes, head of the Aus- tralian Lawn Tennis Association, defended the position in an un- precedented press conference. Several Australian newspaper writers called the switch a 'crazy gamble." One said: "That's hand- ing the cup to America on a silver platter." Trabert, as usual, was his mas- terful self. It was Seixas, though, who gladdened American captain Billy Talbert's heart and raised his hopes. Vic seemed like his old self after his disappointing show- ing in Australia before today. He and Trabert seized the ini- tiative at the outset and held a tiger-like grip throughout the match. The Aussies never could get going, and in exactly 58 min- utes it was all over. : All told, Trabert and Seixas broke Hartwig's serv ice three times and Hoad's once. Rex was having trouble with his first de- livery and when he came through with the soft second attempt he found himself in trouble.
