Canary Singing Can Be Art, Man Claims Regina, Sask. U.R Some ca naries are feathered Frankle Lanes and Bing Crosbys while others are strictly singmg-in-the shower types, an expert reports. Gil Scabrook of radio station CKCK, Regina, who judged the first canary singing contest held here, said there is more in canary singing than meets the novice ear. It is so complicated that Sea- brook spent several years listen ing to contest canaries rjeiore nc started judging thcln. The keys to seaorooK s )od arc the different "tours" sung by the birds. Tours, he explained, are different notes which might be compared to an octave. There are about 12 distinct tours In canary singing and one bird may be able to sing ten or more of them. in judging, seaDrooK lanes into consideration the number of tours which the bird sings and also the quality of each tour. There are also points for general effect. Birds are marked on the basis of a possible 100, but none ever gets close to that. The best bird at Regina scored in the low 50's which Seabrook considers a good score. Canaries scored more points for tours that are lower In the scale. These are considered more important.

Feb. 23 U.R) Air Force Secretary W. Stuart Symington, said today that a "surprise atomic offensive might inflict a mortal wound from which no nation could com plelely recover." To deter Russia from starting such an offensive, he said this country must be geared for "instant and sustained devas tating retaliation." Russia Overshadows Symington made these state ments in a talk before the Yale University Alumni associatipn. He also said that Russia's arms building program "overshadows the combined program of all the Atlantic Pact nations put together." Russia maintains a ground army greater in numbers than the combined armies of the United States and its allies. Symington said. rhe Yale alumnus said Russia has the world's largest submarine fleet larger than Germany's at the beginning of World War II. And since the end of that war, Symington added, Russia has produced more combat aircraft tnan the United States and all the other Atlantic Pact nations together. Increasing' Strength As part of its bid for air su premacy, he said, Russia is stead ily increasing the strength of us long-range strategic bombing force a type of aircraft it did not have in the last war. Symington said that after World War II the United States reduced Its army strength from 90 to 10 divisions, Great Britain cut hers from 39 to 4 divisions, but Russia trimmed its strength only to about one-third of its wartime peak. Symington said that if efforts to prevent war fail, atomic weap ons make it imperative that the United States win the first bat tle. A surprise atomic offensive he said, could inflict a mortal blow "no matter how long and how desperate the ensuing struggle." Motorists arc your breaks good to the last stop?

Dead line Sunday Classified U tl Noon Saturdnyx Life's Just a Bluff Professors Decide San Francisco (U,R) If you bluff in poker, you'll bluff in real life situations, two college professor mathematicians report.
