By dawn the total forces available to the British com- mander, Air Marshal Sir Charles Elworthy, exceeded 10,- 000 well-equipped regulars in- cluding 5,000 Britons and 10,000 Arab volunteers. The airlift continued through the night into Kuwait's Far- wania Airport bringing the 1st Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers from Kenya and other British units. Some moved straight into main defence positions north- west of the capital. Others took over from the 2nd Coldstream Guards who have been guarding the vital plant to distill fresh water from the sea, the largest in the world. The Coldstream Guards were ordered into the desert to join British paratroopers and Royal Marine commandos on guard against Iraqi forces that British intelligence agents said were continuing to build up north of the frontier.

U.S. Plans Rid For Drought Area WASHINGTON (CP) -- The United States has decided to halt the exports of oats and barley under barter programs and to conserve corn and other feed in an emergency drive to aid western farmers hit by drought that has extended from Montana to Minnesota.

The federal government is ab- sorbing one-third the cost of at- tempting to control the grass- will spread into Canada. Barley and oats still will be available for export under nor- mal commercial deals, but gov- ernment-owned surpluses will no longer be exported under special credit and barter pro- grams. Government stocks in the disaster area -- Montana, North and South Dakota and Minnesota -- will be available mainly for emergency livestock feeding in those states. In addition, all land in the stricken area which had been diverted from normal produc- tion into hay under soil-bank operations will be reopened to farmers. They can send their cattle into the areas for graz- ing or they can cut the hay for their own use or for sale to oth- ers in the area hit by the drought. None of this hay can be moved out of the disaster area. Manitoba tried to buy some of this soil-bank hay but was blocked by U.S. law, Canadians, however, can buy American feed through normal commer- or generous expense allowances. 2.

(AP Wirephoto) Lack Of TORONTO (CP) -- A project engineer said Monday a subway collapse that killed two men would have been far less seri- ous if jacks supporting the con- crete had been cross-braced.

"Where does the responsibility lie?" asked Coroner Morton Shulman after the statement about the jeks. "With Frankel," said Mr. For- tier. Frankel Steel Construction is a contractor on the job with McNamara-Raymond. NEEDED CALCULATION Mr. Fortier, in reply to a question by Elliott Pepper of the attorney - general's department, said whether the section would shift or not could be determined by calculation only. He said a drawing of the job, submitted by the Frankel firm and approved by the Toronto Transit Commission, did not contain enough information to warn of any shifts. "Then why didn't you ask for Braces In Subway Cavein it?" said Mr. Pepper. The wit- ness did not answer. Mr. Pepper said virtually every witness at the inquest has testified the form needed cross- bracing. He asked the engineer why it was not used. Mr. For- tier said it was considered un- necessary theoretically and had But been done before on similar jobs. MONTREAL (CP) -- Bank of Nova Scotia officials today were questioning holders of 377 safety deposit boxes looted during the weekend in an effort to calcu- late the total loss in the smoothly-executed robbery. First reports were that the loot from the boxes might be even larger than the original $1,000,000 estimate. The huge vault which the thieves broke into at the St. Catherine and St. Alexandre Streets downtown branch was being combed by detectives from the newly-established west- ern division bureau and the cen- tral criminal investigation bu- reau. Fingerprint experts examined tools and fragments of explo- sives left after the robbers broke through a four-foot thick concrete floor to get into the vault. Ironically, the spectacular robbery was discovered only a few hours after the city's new criminal investigation bureau a city drive to cut down crime. came into existence as part of of the robbery, is made up of three former specialized squads, including one devoted to bank robberies. NOT RUSHED Police said the burglars, parently operating under a we laid plan, had about 21 hours to complete the robbery while the bank was left without a watch. man during the weekend. They believed the burglars parked a car or truck behind the building housing the bank and entered the next - door premises. They presumably had a key to those premises, police speculated. Once in the building, the burglars smashed through the cellar wall separating the bank from its neighbor, bringing them under the bank's vault. They then cut and blasted a hole through the floor of the vault, climbed up and rifled the boxes. One of the officers called in to investigate was Sgt. Leo Pouffe, Montreal's police bomb expert who was injured while trying to disarm a bomb left The new bureau, which at once took over the investigation outside a private home last week.
