S. Fleet Modern Subma rines Lacking Navy Cir cles Show Apprehension By OTTO JANSSEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) The United State' deficiency In destroyers and aubraarinea two classes of vessels which have been assuming Increasing Importance In the Japanese and Ital ian navies Is causing considerable concern In naval circles here. On paper, this country has about 75 destroyers, but fewer than 50 of these are regarded as modern. In the submarine category, United State has 116 vessels, but only 23 are up-to-date. The apprehension with which naval f officials regard this situation was shown In a recent remark of Rear Admiral C. H. Woodward, command ant of the third naval district. He said it was no secret that this coun try Is "woefully weak" In these two classes. Building Program Rushed The Roosevelt administration has been trying to overcome the short comings In these categories. More than 65 destroyers and about 30 un derwater craft are building or pro Jected, or have been completed re cently, but even when these are finished the United States will be far short of Its aim to have a naval force capable of defending the ' nation against an enemy power or a combination of hostile powers. Ninety of the total number of de stroyers are out of commission. Of those In actual service, 60 are past the age regarded as the maximum for efficient service. Compared with the 60 destroyers In the United States fleet, recent sta tistics show that Japan has 83 that d are under-age, France 61, Britain 83. Germany has only 23 under-age, ac cording to available figures, but the close co-operation of Rome and Ber lin has led some observers to take the total of Germany's and Italy's forces In computing potential mil itary, air and naval strengths. Paper Strength Clreat In the submarine class, the United States has more vessels than any of the other major powers, with the possible exception of Italy. But this Is only "paper" strength. Thirty-three of these no longer are In service and 80 more are afloat but beyond the efficient service age. Best available Information for other powers shows that Italy has 73 sub marines under-age; France 76; Japan 44: Britain 31 and Germany 80. In view of this nstton's need for ahips of the larger categories battle ships, cruisers and aircraft carriers the shortage is considered especially serious. The submarine is the princ ipal menace to these types of vessels. Its "natural prey' It the destroyer. The new building program will, to a large extent, make up the de ficiencies but naval experts still feel y- more of these vessel a are newled. Fox hunters have the right-of-way over trains in England. The CHATEAU We Feature a Full Course TURKEY, STEAK or CHICKEN Thanksgiving Dinner From 3 P. M. on PERSONAL From Ashland Will Dodge.

(AP) The American Wildlife Institute pur sued the turkey through five cen turies of history today, trying to run down the nationality of the country's festive bird. , "We may think today's holiday fowl Is an all-Amerlcan." said Wil liam McCsrmlck, a research man, "but he Isn't. He's a foreigner at least twice removed." Dipping Into a stack of books fill ed with feathery facts, McCormtck added: "And make no mistake the tur key Isn't Turkish either. He's a Mex ican) Furthermore, the turkey that we eat today is not the turkey our forefathers shot." Your forefathers. Mr. McCormlck? "Well," he said. "I use the expres sion In Its general sense. My fore fathers did their shooting In Ire land." The fowl we buy In the markets, he explained, is a combination of the occllatpd turkeys and the melea. grla gallopavo a fowl the early Span iards found In Mexico and took home. ' This bird strutted around the Eur opean markets for years and then showed up In England. McCormtck added. English literature describes It about 1540. "Shortly after that. said McCor mlck, "this turkey came to America along with theest of the foreigners the foreigners who did our set tling." The Institute man said there 'are two theories as to how the turkey got Its name: Oc Klddlea lftc Anytime T,ukf.gn.a, 1 1 " " A 1 U ALA I 3.

Brilliant Cast In "Suez" on Current Craterian Program Big and powerful, strong with the strength of empire, one of the best of the current season's film plays, "Su" came to the Craterian theatre yesterday for 1U local four-day showing. Probably most discussed among the picture's many highlights will be the desert storm scene the simoon, or Eobah-hah, as the natives call it. Dramatically realistic, yet It alone is not the whole show, but an Integral part of a gripping story, a story that tells about Ferdinand de Lesseps, whose vision made the Sues canal a reality. It la Interesting to note the simi larity of situations politically speak ingconfronting the powers of Eu rope during the reign of Louis Na poleon, Bismarck and Queen Victoria and that now facing the modern rulers, Hitler, Deladler and Chamber lain. Every now snd then, a point is taken that could be very easily adapted to present times. Proof that while times change, the age-old prob lems of frontiers and colonies will always be with us. But, to get back to "Sues one must not fall to give Tyrone Power credit for a masterful portrayal of de Lesseps. He plays the part with resolution, but not too resolute for conviction. Loretta Young, as the Empress Eugenie, proves herself a fine actress In a difficult role. Ara bella turns In a neat performance ss the army-reared Tont who dies In an attempt to rescue her hero; J. Edward Bromberg Is completely effective ss Prince Said of Egypt, and Leon Ames (to choose one of tho lesser-known players) Is a more cred ible ouls Napoleon than the screon has had up to now. There are other, and many of them, who deserve praise for their work. For Instance, the prime minister, Disraeli, Mo hammed Alt and Vlcomta Rene. The real names of the players might escape us, but their characterizations will not. The story, most everyone knows, tells about de Lesseps' ultimately successful effort to get the Sues canal built. It Includes his unsuc cessful competition with Louis Na poleon for the hand of the lady who became the Empress Eugenie, his betrayal by the then President Na poleon which led to establishment of the second empire, his success In enlisting the cooperation of Prince Said of Eypt and. finally, that of England's Disraeli and, through him, I j TODAY and FRIDAY I I A Thrilling New Serial "THE SECRET OP TREASURE ISLAND N 1 C-'v ' L ,. ;.! t' m Li m.
