FAR UNDER PAR
Fewer Than 50 of U. 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.

TURKEY OF TODAY
OF PILGRIM DAYS
WASHINGTON. Nov. 34. (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:

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,
