HOCKEY GAMES

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C., Nov. 2-tR-Depending on how you rate them, New Westminster's Royals were either in first or second place in the Pacific Coast Hockey League today.
 The title-defending Royals white washed the Seattle Ironmen 80 last night to regain first place from Portland on point basis, although still trailing the Rose City six per centagewise.
 League standings tentatively are being handled on a percentage basis but are scheduled to return to points (two for a win, one for a tie) as quickly as Seattle's rink construction lets the Ironmen catch up on the home schedule.
 The shaky Ironmen are last in the standings by both methods.

than three fully trained divisions
in Germany" the Prime Minister
told Parliament.
Mr.. Attlee said Britain must re-
arm quickly against a Soviet
threat to bring on a third world
war, and he asked immediate ap-
proval of longer draft service and
higher pay for the British armed
forces.
Army to Be Expanded.
He announced Britain will build
her army up from the present 61a
regular divisions to 10 regular di-
visions and IL reserve divisions of
territorials. A British division is
$4,000 to $4,000 men. The terri
torials are the British equivalent

"The steps we are asking the
House to indorse are taken solely
with the intention of preventing
another war and resisting in its
early stages the onward march OF
aggression, Mr.. Attlee said
Sacrifices now can prevent
greater sacrifices in the future, but
sacrifices there must be.
The continual obstruction by
Soviet Russia has frustrated the
efforts of the United Nations. All
over the world the aides and sup
