“OTTAWA (CP) — The} |

army plans to form as
many as 70 mobile. col-|

civil defence. About 50,-

000 troops will be involved.

».Some of these “Triple-R” col-
ymns+—radiation detection, re-

cofinalssance and’ rescue—will be

of ‘battalion. group size, some 800

men...Some 45 columns will. be |.

drawn from the militia and the
others. from the regular-army.

“On ‘Sept. 1 thé army will’ be-
come: directly responsible, for
warning. civilians of enemy air
attack, determining the location
of. nuclear explosions, assessing
the damage, carrying out initial
entry into radioactive areas and
conducting rescue and evacua~
tion. "
paThese new “army responsibil-
ities were discussed here earlier
this week at a conference of 10
of the army's highest- -ranking of-
ficers, including Lt.-Gen. S. F.
Clark, chief of the general staff,
and chiefs of the five- army com-

mands.

‘In its new CD role; the army

“will, have power to direct police,

‘entry-into a radioactive area will

have to be made. in.a> manner

broad front if the lives of people
in the damaged areas are to be

There are: some 80,000 army
troops ‘in Canada, half of them
militiamen. More. than half of
these will be organized into the
mobile columns, though continu-
ing with their regular military
training as well. The militia will
lose some of its heavier equip-
ment such as tanks and artillery

“@ but retain enough for training

purposes.

called for faster highway devel-

‘Hanna story
big hoax. ~

OTTAWA _Christian George
Hanna—a man without a coun-
tryewho found a haven in Can-
ada for 18% months—pulled off
one of the biggest hoaxes in the
histery of Canadian immigration,
it was disclosed today.

The immigration department
said that Hanna was not a state-
less person, as he claimed, but a
citizen of Egypt. His real name
is Anmed Aouad and he was born
and spent most of his life in
Alexandria.

Hanna arrived at Port Alberni;
B.c., in December, 1956, as a
stowaway aboard the Norwegian
freighter Gudveig.

His bid to enter Canada was
supported by thousands of Cana-
dians after they heard his story
of world wandering. He recelved
free leval help, money, job offers
and three offers of marriage.

Finally he was allowed to re-
main, but later had several
brushes with the law,
