Jodan earlier this year, ships from the 6th Fleet were dis j patched immediately to the east- ern Mediterranean to "show the I flag." Some persons credit this with convincing the Communists ' not to step too far out of line, i At present the Navy has about ' 980 active vessels, including I about 15 attack carriers, nine support carriers and two battle ships. The battleships USS i i low a and USS Wisconsin are I scheduled to go on inactive sta tus soon. I Active naval aircraft total about 11,785 planes, a big por ; tion of them jets. Just how many submarines I the Navy has is not known. The U.S. Navy ranks first in size of all the world's fleets. Rus sia is believed to be second and is still building at a fast pace. Soviets Building Fast Burke said the Soviets have built more warships of all types since World War II than all the rest of the world combined. Rus sia is credited with having more than 450 submarines and is con tinuing to build them at a fast clip Naval experts say if Russia ever reaches the point where it controls the seas, it would be al most impossible for the United States to win a war. "They would dominate nearly ! 95 percent of the entire earth's surface, said Capt. John S- Mc Cain, a top strategist in the of fice of the chief of naval opera tions. "This would cause the breakdown of the oceanic coali tion of the free nations of the world. "On the other hand, our con- ; trol of the world's oceans iso lates the enemy to its own land mass. We would have access by ! sea to 85 pet cent of the w orld's j surface. This means the con tiiiuation of the free world alli j ance in the interests of security I and peace."' The switch to a nuclear-powered navy-jis slow, costly busi ness. Only Two Vessels O So far the Navy has only two vessels which run on power gen erated from th atom the sub marines Nautilus and Seawolf. But 13 other submarines have beer authorized and the Navy is seeking authority to build four more in this year's shipbuilding by an aggressor, but long-range missiles would not be able to hit a speedy carrier force cruising the high seas. Thus, it says, the Navy might be the only real striking power left after such a surprise attack by an enemy. In limited, non-nuclear wars such modern Navy ships can be just as valuable because they can move swiftly to trouble spots. Even today, the U.S. 7th Fleet patrolling waters in the Formosa Hercules Star Picture Can Be Seen in Eastern Heaven By FAY ENTLEY Would you like to meet the greatest of all heroes? One who, according to mythology, ac complished feats demanding tre mendous st. ength, and perform ed seemingly impossible tasks? "Like father. like son." is partly true in this case as Her cules, whom ancients credited as the greatest of all heroes was the great-grandson of the cour ageous Perseus, who killed the Gorgon, Medusa. Filling most of the sky-space between the two giant suns. orange-yellow Arcturus and blue-white Vega, is a large con stellation of rather dim stars known from very early times as "the Kneeler." However, bout 470 B.C. the name of this star picture ws changed to Hercules. Six stars arranged somewhat like an hour 8'ass form a broad- O m fr 1 M A PRINTED PATTERN for Half-Sizers!

Send Thirty-five cents in coins for this pattern add 5 cents for shouldered body with the left arm stretched straight out and the right arm, bent sharply at the elbow raised. Hercules, kneeling for stability, has just released an arrow. The left hand holds the bow, while the empty right hand has snapped back and upward in reaction from the shot. Tiny Trianfle In keeping with this idea, we find Sagitta the Arrow, a tiny triangle of three stars, just ahead of Hercules flying toward the Eagle and the Swan. Sa gitta is a very ancient constella tion. Surprisingly enough, this star picture has also been called "The Butterfly," and it is just as easy to see the form of a butterfly as a kneeling man in this group of distant suns. A little imagination must be em ployed in either case. Legend tells us that Hercules proved his great strength while still a babe in the cradle by strangling two huge serpents which Juno had sent to destroy him. As a further mark of Juno's hatred Hercules as a young man was bound to serve his disagreeable and jealous cousin. King Eurystheus, who gave him 12 difficult and dan gerous tasks to perform, hop ing that the young man would lose his life. Turns To Admiration Finally after slaying the Ne- mean Lion and Hydra the Water Serpent; capturing the Wild Stag of Gerynae, the Eryman thian Boar and the famous Stag of Diana; killing the Stympho- lian Birds and the Cretan Bull capturing the Wild Horse of Diomedcs; stealing the belt of Queen Hippolyta and 3000 oxen of King Geryon's herd; obtain ing the Golden Apples from the Tree of Hesperides and the three-headed dog Cerebus from Pluto; and lastly cleaning the Augean Stables which had housed 3000 oxen and had not been cleansed for 30 years. Juno's hatred for Hercules turn ed to admiration. But even so, Hercules was not happy. His jealous wife caused him to put 6n a poison saturated garment that resulted in his death. In agony, the hero prepared to die bravely, but Jupiter appeared upon the scene, wrapped the young man in a great white cloud and placed him in the sky as a constellation. And there you may see him about 8:30 p.m., EST, lying on his side high in the eastern sky. This star group can best be ob served during June and July when it is high in the heavens as it is a spring and summer constellation. To find Hercules begin with the last star in the handle of the Big Dipper and continue the curved line of the handle down ward and to the right for about twice the length of the Dipper handle. This will reach the bright-orange-yellow star, Arc turus. Claiming Attention From Arcturus look to the northeast or left and bright, blue white, twinkling Vega will attention.
