"5- . r
ilent Service” Takes The
.
Spotlight In Defense Plans
: __ BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
NORFOLK NAVAL BASE, Va.— (NEA) —They
¢ Iled submarines “the silent service” during World
War 11, because they couldn’t report where they
were till they got back in port. It wasn’t silent be
cause it didn’t have anything to brag about. The rec
ord of the Pacific war shows one-third of the Jap
Navy and two-thirds of the Jap merchant marine
gunk by U. 8. submarines. And this was done by less
than 2 percent of the entire Navy force.
There ig nothing silent about this service now,
There ig a 8 much interest today in submarine and
& ‘i-submerine warfare as in any branch of the nat
i. -al defense effort.
ain function of the U, 8. Navy's submarine fleet
t vis to serve as “enemy targets” for anti-subma
-1 war games. The subs go out and hide, then the
o' raft carrier task forces try to find them and sim
ulate sinking them, Or vice versa —the task force
eo e out and the submarines try to penetrate their
racar and defense sggeens.
One reason the Japs were defeated in the last war
is that they were negligent on their anti-submarine
work, says Rear Admiral James E. Fife, jr., now
comnrander of the U. S. Atlantic Force Submarine
Fleet, The United States has also been negligent in
this respect, but something is being done about it
now,
Of the 166 “S” or fleet-type P. S, submarines in
s2:vice in World War 11, 90 are now in mothballs,
They can be preserved that way for five or six years.
T 't what the Navy is angling for is to have the
1 othball fleet modernized, a few at a time, so as to
1 epare the entire reserve for any emergency,
SUBS CAN'T DO EVERYTHING
Vet there is a keen realization of submarine limi«
tations, As Captain Roy S. Benson, in charge of sub=
marine experimental work for the Atlantic fleet puts
it, “Most of the things done by submarines can be
cone better by other ships or aircraft, provided they
can get there, do the job, and get home. Conversely,
most or many of the things done by surface ships
and aircraft can also be done by submarines.”
The submarine service is now trying to find out
how to do better some of the things it may be called
upon to do. Prototypes of a new hunter-killer sub=
Iharine are now under construction at New London
and Portsmouth, But they would not be available in
suificient numbers if there were an emergency.
Main reliance is therefore placed on modernizing
and streamlining some of the old fleet-type subs to
give them more speed, greater range, and more
anti-submarine detection gear, These are the “gup
py” subg, which taken their name from the highe
sounding “Greater Underwater Propulsion Project.”
In this streamlining, the deck gun and many of
the devices that slowed up the sub have been
knocked off. But experiments are being made in
firing V-1 rockets from subs. These rockets have a
range of 150 miles at a speed of 350 miles an hour,
So the firepower of the sub may be greatly ine
creased. .
Other hulls are being converted into radar-picket
submarines, for early warning against enemy air
craft, far at sea. All these modernized subs are, of
course, being equipped with the “snorkel” breathing
tube, which permits eruising submerged on Diesel
engine power, instead of on slower batteries. But
even the electric power has been speeded up.
TWO SUBS FITTED TO CARRY TROOPS
Two of the old fleet-type subs have been convert
ed into transports. Each will carry 100 Marines and
full equipment, Still another of the old hulls has
been converted into an *“oiler”—a submarine sup
ply ship intended to refuel combat subs at sea.
New developments in wunderwater communica«
tions make the detection of enemy submarines much
more accurate, While the Russians may have the
advantege in numbers of submarines, the United
States is now believed to have the advantage in
anti-submarine warfare, due to the higher technical
sikill of this country. But the use of atomic-powered
marinel and of torpedoes carrying atomic war
is still too far in the future to be a factor,
Perhaps the greatest asset which the U. S. sub
marine service has, however, is in its manpower.
It is strictly a volunteer service, and anyone in it
* 1o doesn't like it can get out by complaining. The
; >ason is that the submarine service always has a
weiting list, from recruits up through Annapolis
graduates,
There is less of the old Navy stuffiness about the
submarine service than any other branch. Subma
rines have thelr traditions, their tall tales and their
pride, but they aren't rubbed in on outsiders.
Living in pretty close quarters, the officers, petty
officers, ratings and enlisted men eat the same food
out of the same galley. There is an easy familiarity
without any apparent- loss of discipline or close
teamwork,
Practicelly every one of some 80 civilians attend
ing a week-long orientation course at the Norfolk
base came away more impressed by the submarines
than by anything the Navy had to show.
.
Football Ticket Sales
Indicate Big Crowds
According to announcement by the University of
Georgia Athletic Department the football games to
be played in Sanford Stadium by the Bulldogs next
season will draw big crowds. Advance sales indicate
capacity throngs.
Assistant Athletic Director Howell Hollis states
that the biggest demand is for tickets to the Mary
land and Tech games with the North Carolina game
ranking third in popularity. All three of these are
Bowl teams, Georgia also plays Mississippi State
and Furman and both of these games are certain to
draw large crowds.
The home schedule for the Bulldogs this year is
perhaps the best ever arranged. Certainly it ranks
among the best, All five teams to meet Georgia
here will provide excellent entertainment for the
crowds and, judging by the advance sales, the
tickets will become harder to get as the opening of
football season draws nearer,
Don't Count On Sudden Soviet
Collapse—lt May Take Time
Paul fioffm:m, foreign aid chief, predicts the
Russian Communist empire will collapse “quite
suddenly.. within our lifetime,
He sees two factors ag decisive: the death of Pre
mier Stalin, which he expects to touch off a wild
scramble for power; and the breaking away of
most Russian satellite countries from Moscow,
Hoffman believes these satellites are developing
dangerous rigidity in their economic structures, All
appears smooth on the surface, he says, because
political brutality keeps it that way, But under
neath, tensions are mounting.
The anticipated turbulence accompanying a
change in the Russian dictatorship will probably
allow those tensions to burst into the open, says
Hoff{man,
What he forecasts is certainly a marked possibil
ity. Yet it wouldn't be wise for the free world to
count on anything so joyful as a Russian empire
collapse unless and until it happens.
The West has been trying to guess for a long time
just what will occur when Stalin dies. The list of
likely successors is constantly undergoing revision.
Some experts predict a cut-throat struggle, others
think a smooth, frictionless switch will be made.
If there does prove to be a ruthless fight for Sta
lin’s job, the satellites nmray well seize the chance
either to break loose or at least to take & more
firmly nationalistic line on the Tito model.
We can’t be so hopeful, however, about what
might develop within Russia itself. No matter how
bitter the competition for power, it almost cer
tainly would not lead to the ouster of the oppres
sive totalitarian regime now entrenched.
Modern dictatorships have at their command far
more powerful weapons of control than did the
tyrants of old. An army equipped with great fire
power, brutal secret police, concentration camps,
these all make revolt a difficult nratter to bring off.
Worse still, Russia has crushed any sort of organ
ization or segment of society which could possibly
serve as a rallying point for rebellious citizens. The
Communists brook no rivals anywhere within the
Soviet Union,
+ The Russian tyranny must end some day. But
probably its fall will come only after long, slow
disintegration from within, and heavy, relentless
pressures from the outside. Those pressures need
not necessarily include war. A non-Communist
world well organized for its defense, firm in its
faith, progressive in its march toward human bet
termrent will constrict Russia’'s orbit and hasten
communism’s demise.
ECA Steals Cupid's Line
It is pleasing to read that the Economic Cooper=
ation Administration is on the side of marital bliss.
Some U. S. geologists, assayers, and topographl
cal engineers are being recruited for work in the
jungles of Africa, Southeast Asia and British Gui
ana. They'd be working under the British Colonial
Office.
The latter says the jungle is no place for wives. .
And in the case of a handful of women assayers,
the office says husbands would be excess baggage.
ECA refuses ‘to go along with the colonial office
on this. It claims, too, that the stuffy attitude
they’ve shown has slowed up scientific surveys in
the British colonies,
Thus far, however, our British cousins are show
ing no disposition to change their minds.and give a
lift to the scientists’ home life, We forsee a future
shortage of geologists, assayers and topographical
engineers,
Preliminary figures indicate that New York City’s
1950 population is going to teotal.around 7,750,000.
That's about 250,000 below estimates nrade by vari
ous agencies in the last year or two. So, it isn’t
8,000,000 after all. It only seems like 8,000,000 to
the people who live there.
To deter, to defend, to defeat—these in brief are
the objective aims we (Atlantic Pact nations) seek
to promote.—Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson.
We in Germrahy feel that we are facing a critical
point in history, and I think no person sensitive to
the forces which play over Europe teday can feel
differently.—U. S. High Commissioner in Germany
John J. McCloy.

Three Men Digging For Buried
Indian Gold Near Emerson, Ga.
BY CHARLES SKINNER
CARTERSVILLE, Ga., May 9. — (AP) ~— Buried gold
fever has three men digging anxiously in a hill near Emer
son, Ga., in Bartow county, for a pot of yellow treasure
(siqpposedly cached under a sheer bluff by Cherokee In
ians.
And watching with exeited interest are the owners of
the land—a spinster and her brother. ;
Ex-Miner Lacy F. Simpson of White, Ga., tells you he has
“made & thorough check”’—that he knows “this is the right
place’ to find the last undiscovered of four pots of gold
stashed away in an Indian mine tunnel. @~
The farmers helping dig a
three-by-four hole they hope will
hit the tunnel — A, W, Graves and
J. L. Swafford — nod their
agreement, They know the legend
of the four pots of gold through
generations of their forefathers.
Graves quickly tells you his
grandfather started digging a hole
where the men are now working,
but had to stop when he hit water.
First Real Try
Charlie W. Puckett and Miss
Lamar Puckett like to believe their
lessees are only a few feet away
from a treasurer which will make
them all rich. Eleven other gold

hunters have *“puttered around”
the property vordering Punpkin
Vine Creek, Miss Puckett says, but
none has gone after it with zeal
and preparation of Simpson.
Simpson has experience and an
impressive cooking “mineral de
tector” (pre-1930 vintage) to back:
him up. He has dug in several
places in this section — financial
results negligible — but, aided by
the process of elimination, is con
vinced the treasure must be right
under that 300-foot bluff,
un“" G.ld»
The clincher, e confides, is an
assay which figured gold there at
500 ounces to the ton. This “heap
gold’ (easily and economically
minded) may prave a far greater
treasure than the nugget-filled pot
they are sure mey will find, he
adds. But the pot—worth “several
thousand dollars”—is still the ro=-
mantic object of the search.
Simpson and Company have hit
water, too — but it isn’t going to
stop themi, They're rigging a pump
to send it into Pumpkin Vine as
fast as it comes out of the ground.
A warning —the “no trespass
ing*’ sign is hung out. Any would
be claim jumpers — or just plain
innocent spectators — are advised
to look elsewhere.
Five persons are certain they
are but a few shovels of earth
away from the Life of Riley, and
they don’'t want anyone to beat
them to it.
And who knows? Maybe there is
a pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow,
