BRITAIN'S NEWEST GUN
(Rec. 9 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 24. Details have been issued of Britain's newest self-propelled gun, a 105-milli-metre gun-howitzer nicknamed "The Priest," which, as a reply to the German 88-millimetre anti-tank gun, put the Allies ahead in the Eighth Army's campaign. The gun is mounted on a General Grant chassis, which also carries a one-pounder anti-aircraft gun. It will be recalled that Mr. Churchill last November disclosed that large numbers of high-velocity self-propelled guns had been sent to Egypt from the United States.
