l BOSU N’S CALL

LONDON tCPl—The Royal Navy plans to keep the trad. tional bosun's call, but its use may be res ricted.

An admiralty spokesman asked to comment on sugges- tions that the navy plans to abolish the call. said Wednes- day the reports probably arose out of neWs that a work-study team has been put aboard a British destroyer to determine whether the number of calls can be reduced.

The call is sounded on the hosun's pipe to announce meals. tell the men when they can smoke. and issue general orders.

"There has been a bosun's call ever since there has been a British navy." ' the spokesman. “The call Will go on. '
