! Show The Flag
When trouble broke out in
! 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

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-

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
