" (International) Anti-Submarine Power Seen Decisive in World War III Ottowa (U.R) Canadian nav al authorities say anti-submarine power might easily spell the dif ference, between victory and de feat in a third World War. The science of underwater warfare has been developed to a point where submarines could largely neutralize the vast war potential of the North American continent, according to naval Dlanners. Consequently, the power to destroy submarines seeking to cut trans-oceanic lifelines is the most urgent aim of the Canadian Navy today. "Without the use of our sea lanes," Vice-Admiral E. R. Main guy, chief of the naval staff, said in an interview, "we could not possibly hope to achieve vic tory in a war against a strongly armed and resolute enemy occu pying a central position!" Mainguy named Russia as the "only possible enemy," The Sov iets at present possess "submar ine strength far greater than that which Germany had at the beginning of the second World War," he" said Russians Strong Besides a larger fleet, the Rus sians have some submarines which are twice as fast, and more lethal, than those with which the Nazis almost succeed ed in winning World War II. Their, present submarine strength is estimated at some where between 300 and 40U ves sels some of them of "very ad' vanrpH -design" and they are believed to be building 120 more a year. An American. David Busb rielL in 1776 designed and built the first really practical sud- mersible. It successfully ap proached, but failed to sink, an English warship off JNew xors. Eighty years later, during the American Civil War. the Hous- antonic, while engaged in block ading Charleston. N.C., became the first victim of a torpedo fired from a submarine. France added submarines to its fleet in 1888. Great Britain followed in 1900, and then the Germans entered the field. Germans Take Over -i The Germans perfected sub marines to the point where in World. War I they accounted for 4,837 Allied merchant ships dis placing more than ll.OOO.OUU gross tons. In World War II, the Germans sank an average of 41 vessels a . month with a total gross tonnage of 14,573,000.

The Nazis were able to wreak their heavy de struction with submarines which today are considered ob solete. The Germans were the acknowledged masters of sub marine warfare and construc tion. At the end of World War II, they had in operation three type . XXI - submarines which were able to operate under wat er at 17 knots faster than most merchant ships travel on the surface. Russians Grabbed Plans Plans for those and even more advanced submarines fell into Russian hands. . The submarine which the Ger mans hoped would win for them the last war, but which failed to get into production, was the type XXVI. It was the world's first "true" submersible an un derwater craft which remains submerged almost indefinitely. Some parts of the XXVI had been manufactured by the war's end. They, as well as plans for the vessel, were taken over by the Russians. The ship, when completed, would displace 1,160 tons submerged, carry a crew of 32, cruise 7,300 miles without new fuel, reach the phenomenal underwater speed of 24 knots, and submerge more than 600 feet. In planning anti - submarine ships, naval experts are aiming at vessels which could success fully do battle with another sub marine or at least on a par with the German XXVI. Performance Has Unusual Happenings Salt Lake City (U.R) Open ing nights are traditional in show business for unusual happenings. The opening performance of the Broadway musical "Kiss Me Kate" at the University of Utah was no exception. The fun began for the au dience near the end of the first act when the leading man, Jon Geyans, lifted the leading lady, Patricia Morison, in his arms and stumbled to his knees. In a seemingv effort to get even for that humiliation, Miss Morison, at the end of the act, kicked Gey ans so hard all according to script, of course that her shoe flew off. Next, Duane Hill, one of the supporting players, sang a song on top of a box and stamped his foot too hard. . The box broke. Trouper that he is, Hill finished the song with one foot firmly encased in the box. Yars, Religion Helped Shape Lives 0( lkers Ancestors New York (U.R) Wars helped shape the lives of Dwight D. Eisenhower's ancestors but religion dominated their think ing. Known factors indicate the combination resulted in moral strength and spiritual force. Miss Rosalie Bailey, a fellow of the American Society of Gen ealogists, said those character istics are evident among all of Eisenhower's forebears. Many were religious leaders. Many other were warriors. Eisenhower's forebears sought freedom when they came to this country from Germany. Often, they were involved in wars and violence.. . . AitackeeJ by Indians Indians burned the Pennsyl vania frontier home of Peter Eis enhower, great-great-grandfather of the Republican Presidential nominee, in 1756, shortly after he and his father Hans Nicol Eisenhower settled there. An ancestor of the World War II supreme commander, Daniel Burkhard, was. a major in the Revolutionary War, serving as a trusted officer of George Wash ington. Burkhard, a great - great -great - grandfather of Eisenhow er, received personal commen dation from Gen. Washington. Another Eisenhower forebear, John Matter, was a private in Washington's army. The American Civil War, ac cording to Miss Bailey, was a horrible personal experience for Ida Elizabeth Stover, Eisenhow er's mother, who lived in Vir ginia's Shenandoah Valley. "It convinced her of the wick edness of war but she believed that everyone had the right to his own principles and permitted her son to follow a military car eer," Miss Bailey said. There were farmers and black smiths among Eisenhower's an cestors. Nearly all were deeply religious. Eisenhower's great - great -grandfather on his mother's side, Peter Link, was one of the foun ders of the Salem Lutheran church in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Elizabeth Ida Link,- the mother of Eisenhower's mother, later received her early relig ious training there. On his father's side of the fam ily, Eisenhower's ancestors fol lowed the Lutheran religion un til the middle 1800s. Several members of the family joined the Protestant Mennonite sect, Church of the Brethren, locally called the River Brethren, or the DROUGHT HITS Farmer Bernard Froelich, Hicksville, L. I., looks skyward as his niece Theresa Wesnofske, 9, and her brother Edward, 10, pray for an end to the drought that has parched the potato field around them. The farm is owned by the children's father, Remi Wesnofske, who has more than 500 acres under cultivation. Long Island farmers are prepared to appeal for the governor of New York to declare a drought emergency and to obtain relief for them and their crops. Marital Troubles Get Accident Blame . New York (U.R) Husband and wife trouble is the worst backseat driver of all and is a prime cause for many road acci dents in the United States, the head of an engineering firm says. "Our 22 years experience in the safety engineering field has taught us that the driver's frame of mind is. a primary factor in most accidents," Lewis Markel, president of Markel Service, Inc., said. The organization is a high way safety engineering firm and is the service arm of the Ameri can Fidelity and Casualty Co., Inc., which insures trucks and buses. Markel cited examples of bow his organization has met the problem. The wives of drivers for a Texas trucking firm were made vice presidents in charge of safety. In Auburn, N.Y., Plain People. Eisenhower's gmndfather be came a leader .of the sect and moved his family to its colony in Kansas in the 1870s. drivers' "wives were appointed as sistant directors of safety. Part of their duties was to live up to a code: 1) Never argue with your husband before he goes to work tackle and settle all prob lems before retiring at night. 2) See that he gets plenty of rest, a good breakfast, and leaves the house in a good frame of mind. In both cases the accident curve of the companies involved went down. Sheriff's Hose Gives Moonshiners Trouble Jaspar, Ala.
