Navy Reports Progress on Superweapons of Tomorrow (Editor's Note: If there has to be another world war, don't count the navy out of it. While popular attention has centered on the prospective role of the air force, the navy has pressed ahead with weap ons that promise to revolutionize warfare on, under and above the seas. The United Press' chief Pentagon reporter tells about these developments in the following dispatch.) By DAYTON MOORE Washington, June 21 (U.R) Top naval officers today reported "great progress" on lethal super-weapons that promise again to revolutionize sea warfare. But even with great progress, most of these weapons are some years away. These fantastic war "gadgets" of the future may Include: Davis to Manage KYW Station Gordon W.

Fast underwater topedoes with electronic "ears" to guide them to their targets. Guided surface-to-air missiles to bring down fast planes flying up to 10 miles high. These and other new naval weapons are in various stages of research and development. A few are being produced in limited numbers. Some are only in the first stages of research. If World War III should come tomorrow, the navy would have to start fighting It largely with World War II weapons. But the strategy and tactics of the U.S. naw mav be revolu tionized within a few years by development of atomic-powered submarines and long-range guid ed missiles with atomic war heads. Previous revolutionary chan ges in naval tactics were marked by replacement of oar-driven galleys by sailing vessels in the 16th century; the advent of the armored, steam-driven warship in the Civil war; and the aircraft carrier's replacement of the bat tleships as the fleet's main war ship in World War II. But top naval officers do not expect an easy, push-button vic tory even after atomic and other superweapons are developed. They are figuring on a "long haul" plan for carrying out the navy's primary mission of keep ing the sealanes open. With American forces being committed throughout the world and oil increasingly important to the armed forces, the navy's major role in warfare becomes more and more vital to the na tion's security. American access to foreign oil must be maintained lest the U.S. reserves be lowered dangerously close to depletion in event of an other global war. Because Russia has a relative ly few surface ships, the navy is concentrating on air and anti submarine warefare in its wea pons development program. vnM : , . . u X u scuuuio' icnauiiD, uic navy has cloaked much of the pro gram in tight secrecy. But Adm. Forrest P. Sherman, chief of na val operations, said: "The navy is pressing its re search and development pro gram. Great progress has been achieved in such new areas as guided missiles, automatic equip ment to enable the pilots of the newer faster jet aircraft to find, recognize, track and destroy a target, and in atomic propulsion for ships." The keel of a new 57,000-ton flush deck-type carrier will be laid within a few months. It would be finished in about three years. Completion of an atomic-powered submarine is expected with in three years. The first of three new K-l killer anti-sub subs was launch ed recently. It weighs only 750 tons and is not much more than half as big as a fleet-type attack sub. But it offers great promise as a killer of other subs. It has electronic ears to d e t e c t other subs and is armed with homing torpedoes likewise equipped with electronic ears. faster attack subs, also was launched recently. It Is equipped with snorkel tube and a newly developed vastly improved die sel engine. Work is being done on equip ment that will supply oxygen to permit these diesel-powered subs to stay submerged for days with out even a snorkel tube. The navy has ordered limited numbers of two surface-to-air anti-aircraft guided missiles the 3,000-pound Convair Terrier with a range of 10 miles and the much-smaller 280-pound Douglas Sparrow with a range of five miles. Vice Adm. John H. Cassady, deputy chief of naval operations for air, said that two companies reportedly Consolidated Vul- tee and Lockheed have submit ted "very promising ideas" for a radical new jet fighter. This strange plane, using its tail for a landing gear, would take off and land at a 90-deeree angle from a carrier deck. In this respect, it would be some thing like a helicopter but it would be able to fly at top speed in the normal attitudes of more conventional planes after it was airborne. The navy already has two types of planes capable of car rying the large A-bomb. It is de veloping two others with great ly improved performance. The two present ones are the land-based P2V NeDtune and the (farrier-based AJ-1. The ones coming up are the A2J and the all-jet A3D.

NICHOLS , (United Pius Staff Correspondent) Washington, June 21 (U.R) You can't help but lick your chops when you look back across the pages of the past and see how they used to eat in the old days. Douglas A. Stalker, general manager of one of Washington s oldest hotels (Willard) was dusting off musty old files and came uDon a menu for Feb. 5, 1858. It?- was done on white silk for the "Annual Complimentary Ball Supper for Lady Guests of the Hotel Presumably, each guest had a selection, for few humans pos sibly could gobble everything on the program. For appetizers three kinds of oysters, stewed, broiled, fried. Then came the main dishes: Boned turkey on a socle, orna mented with meat jelly. Deer's head stuffed, ornamented. Wes- phalia ham on a socle, with meat jelly. Fresh round of beef. Beef's tongue, in belle vue. Fillet of pheasants, in border of jelly. Chicken salad, in belle vue, in form (whatever that means.)

Fillet of deer, in form, Russ fashion Salad, Poland style, in border of jelly. Aspic of game, in form, or namented. And then in section number two were cold roasts turkeys, pheasants, partridges, chickens, prairie hens, and wild turkeys. Next came "ornamental pyra mids."

The tiny wisp of a boy, whose weight had wasted to 20 pounds, was operated on last Thursday by Dr. William T. Grant, brain specialist, and his assist-- ant, Dr. Edward Oberc. They worked without cost after the boy's plight and the devotion of his father attracted wide publicity. Arthur Marton, 34-year-old farmer of Archerwill, Saskat chewan, had carried the boy in his arms during a 3,000-mile bus trip. Doctors had told him the boy was doomed to die with a rare deterioration of brain tis sue. Marton had sought the aid of divine healing through an Home Lighting WE SPECIALIZE Make Your House a Home of Distiction by Adding That Personal Touch NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REMODELING Lighting Is Lasting Beauty "The Most Show for Least Dough" 1W! vv ! o , 236 N.

Said the father: "I always had faith that some day I didn't know how or when I'd take him home well." biscuit, fruit jelly, vanilla bis cuit. And, to top the whole thing off, coffee. That assortment reminded me of two of the biggest meals I ever had. The first was in Chicago's Chinatown when the boss sent me out to cover a dinner given in honor of a visiting Chinese general and his lovely lady. The business started with bird's nest soup, and then came one course after another. Fish turkey, steak, etc. And between courses more rice than a man could hold, plus more tea than any man had a right to expect to hold. The dinner took up most of the evening. The other big feed was a meal in memory of the famous old French chef Escof fier. It is given each year in various towns by a national organization known as Ls Amis d Escoffier." In Min neapolis we started by bibbing up in a yard-square napkin and spent the next four hours get ting miserable on one fine dish after another. Atotnvtn S T.
