(l ! PI TELEPHOTO)
A statement made by Admiral
Burke, our Chief of Naval Operations,
may astonish those laymen who have
come to believe that nuclear bombs,
2.000 - mile - an - hour aircraft, guided
missiles and the like have made more
traditional weapons and forces obso¬
lete: “The Soviet Navy build-up is
the most significant development in
Soviet planned strategy since World
War II.
This helps to explain the impor¬
tance of a new and definitive book,
“The Soviet Navy,” (Frederick A.
Praeger, New York: $7.50). Edited
by Commander M. G. Saunders, RN, it
is the work of many minds. The chap¬
ters were contributed by a distin
guished international team of
een men including American, British,
French and German experts. Begin
ning with discussions and descrip
tions of Russia’s maritime past and
her Navy’s role in the two World
Wars, all phases of present-day So¬
viet naval power, strategy and pur¬
pose are comprehensively dealt with.
In late years the Soviet Union
has pursued a naval development and
dented expansion program on a scale unprece¬
short in history. A comparatively
time ago she was a minor naval
power. Now she has passed Great
Britain, traditionally the guardian of
the seas, and is second only to the
United States. She has a large surface
fleet, well designed and constructed.
Her naval air arm contains some
2.000 jet fighters, 1,000 jet light
bombers, about 100 long-range jet
bombers, plus various other aircraft.
But it is on the submarine that the
really She heavy emphasis has been laid. j
has by far the greatest submarine
fleet ever assembled under one flag—
about 500, of which more than half
are long range. To state the situation
another way, she has 10 times as
many submarines as Germany could
put to sea when World War II began.
As one of the contributors to “The
Soviet Navy” says: “A study of the
numbers and types of Russia’s exist¬
ing warships in relation to the geo¬
graphical aspects of her sea frontiers
clearly illumines the grand design of
Soviet naval policy — submarine war¬
fare on a world-wide scale, to which
the operations of the surface forces
would nated.” be The directly or indirectly subordi¬
big modern submarines,
needless to say, are capable of launch¬
ing guided nuclear missiles of incredi¬
ble destructive force.
The final chapter of the book is the
work of Rear-Admiral Ernest M. El¬
ler, USN. Admiral Eller has distin¬
guished himself as a combat officer
and as a writer on naval matters; in
1956 he was assigned to duty as Di¬
rector of Naval History in the Navy
Department. His extremely signifi¬
cant contribution carries the title,
“Implications of Soviet Sea Power,”
and brings into focus the menace to
the West that is involved.
Admiral Eller believes that when
Khrushchev, addressing the anti-So¬
viet world, said, “We will bury you,”
he meant just that. He also believes
that the postwar Soviet naval build¬
up has progressed so swiftly that even
military men, much less the public,
have developed a blind spot as to the
significance of Soviet naval policy.
The big point, Admiral Eller stres¬
ses, is that the Soviet’s principal op¬
ponent, the United States, can be
reached only by crossing thousands of
miles of sea. Britain also lies over¬
seas. And the rest of the free world
nations lie overseas or draw power
from the sea. Free world strength de¬
pends greatly on materials that must
Eastern move by sea—for instance, Middle
oil. Thus, command of the
seas is overwhelmingly important and
there are no signs its importance will
diminish.
Moreover, Admiral from a military stand¬
point, Eller goes on, naval
power is least vulnerable to surprise
r.uclear attack. A modern task force
Admiral Burke has said, now covers
an ocean area the size of New York

“He has to stand on an apple box to

Dr. B.
president of the British Royal Society
of Medicine, after studying geniuses
for four years, says they seldom are
taller than five feet three inches. Sure,
there are exceptions, but that is the
rule.
The doctor spoils it all by adding

that there have been proportionately

been as readily recognized and ac

Let’s put it this way: can guess
how many millions of potential women the

successive unenlightened social orders
under which they lived, to waste then

Come to find out, it’s now consid¬

habit carried into aduit life will make
him obese, and (2) it may mature the
child before his time which, perverse¬
ly, may shorten his life. Underfeeding
animals tends to lengthen their life
