| Rir Warning | Inadequate | House Told TORONTO (CP) -- The siren system intended to warn Metro- |i politan Toronto residents of im- | pending attack will require ex- | tensive improvements, officials | of the Metro Emergency Meas-| ures Organization and the ar-| my's Central Command at| nearby Oakville said Wednes-| day night. | The disclosures came after Egan Chambers, parliamentary secretary to Defence Minister Harkness, told the ccommons in Ottawa Wednesday that warning sirens are inadequate in four Canadian cities. He did not name them. John Pollard, co-ordinator of the Metro Emergency Measures Organization, said improvement of the warning system is being given high priority. Army authorities, responsible for the siren system, said 34 new sirens are needed to cover the 240-square-mile Metro area, in addition to the 48 already in place. Harkness Says Army Not Pouting OTTAWA (CP)--Defence Min- ister Harkness Wednesday crit- icized a Canadian Press story that said the army is unhappy about the method adopted by the government to train 100,000 militiamen in civil defence this winter. He began his criticism in the Commons in reply to a question by a Progressive Conservative member and completed his points in an interview with The Canadian Press outside the Commons. In the interview, the minister said that most of the militia- men recruited for the six-week courses will be young men in good physical condition and that the training will not disrupt the training of the regular army or 42,000-member militia. In the story concerned CP's informants were quoted Tues- day as saying the winter train- ing program for regular army and militia would be seriously disrupted because nearly all in- structors would be teaching the survival courses. ness said the "allegation" that - the army is unhappy about the room ensemble, you are actu- ally saving a good lump sum of civil defence training scheme is| "false."

"The contrary is the si- over $50! tuation," he said. _ "The army is extremely anx-| ious to secure the 100,000 trained men for use in the survival col- umns and the militia part of the army is extremely glad to have this training going for- ward." He said the "reliable sources" quoted by CP were "'very unreliable as far as some of the details given today are concerned and indicate anything but a complete knowledge of what is projected and what is the situation." Wardrop Could Be Candidate TORONTO (CP)--Reform In- stitutions Minis ter Wardrope said Wednesday he won't an- nounce until Friday whether he will run for leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conserva- tive party. Conceding that he has been giving the idea "very serious consideration," Mr. Wardrope maintained, however, that an announcement of his candidacy from Port Arthur is premature He is member of the legislature for Port Arthur. "I'm going up there Thursday night and there's to be a gen- eral meeting of the riding ex- ecutive and other advisers on Friday," he said in an inter- view. Supporters of the 61-year-old| minister in Port Arthur an- nounced earlier today that he had agreed to run If he decides to run, Mr. Wardrope will be the fifth ca- binet minister and the sixth can- didate seeking the leadership being vacated by Premier Frost.
