facturers of the bell, gave this assurance following a report from Canada that his company could not guarantee the bell's tone if the names of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt ore re. moved or if Prime Minister Mac- | kenzie King's name is added.

The Canadian Government is reportedly removing the names because it considers it an affront that Mackenzle King's name was omitted.

Tho spokesman said the TIL moval of two names or the addi. tion of one would make no alter- nation in the tone audible to the humon car.

He said, however, there might be an "extremely light" change which could be detected by tun ing devices. For this reason, he said, the company could not guarantee that deletion-or- addi- tion of names would not affect the tone.

"Very, Very Little" "Our opinion is that there will be such a very, very little change that the human car could not de- tect it," he said.
