RED SUBS,-NOW 300 STRONG, ^ WORRY U. S. NAVY OFFICERS By Stanley James Washington Correspondent for the ■ Farmville Enterprise Top Navy offioers say the Russians have a submarine fleet which is six times larger than the German sub marine fleet at the beginning oi World Wiar II. The Russian subs are said to be as modern and efficient as the latest-type Nazi snorkels at the end of the war. This would give the Reds a sub fleet of about 300 or 400. under-seas raiders, since the German navy had only about 50or 60 subs in 1989. Ad miral William M. Fechteler, Chief of Naval Operations , recently told a group of National Geographic Society members that the Red sub fleet could seriously challenge U. S. supremacy in case of war. Americans don’t have to look back very far to remember when some 20 or 30 German U-boats caused a car nage off the Southeastern coast in 1942 and 1943. The Germans were sinking oil tankera at a rapid pace and on some days .as manft as six or eight ships went down. What the Rnaainns could do with six times as many subs can be imagined. Some military observers have ac cused tiie Navy—which is vastly su perior to the Russian Navy in size— of dragging out the submarine threat -every time its case for a large share of armed forces appropriations is en dangered. The Army and the Air Force—both vastly smaller than theii Russian counterpart—are sometimes inclined to minimize the Red naval threat. > While there may be something t j both arguments, it is nontheless true that the Red subs .pose a direct threat to huge U. S. aircraft carriers, one of which is now under construction. They also threaten world lines of supply-which the Allies will have to depend on in any war with Russia. If an enemy sub is able to sink a super cancer which is designed to carry naval airpower .within striking distance *of Russian cities, it will be able to deal U. S. forces a .major blo’w. It will also be dealing the stra tegic planners a Wow, since Air Force officials have sometimes argued that huge floating airstrips were too vul nerable, considering the vaat expendi ture involved, to justify the tremend ous cost in money and material ne cessary to build them. The Navy is working hard to find an answer to the sub threat, and Ad miral Fechteler says good progress has been made in this direction, on anti-submarine devices. Naval offi cers are confident that enemy subs will not be able to nullify the super carrier threats in time of war, not strangle our lines of supply. The Red sub fleet, though, is getting ominous ly large. - - CALENDAR OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S EVENTS M Monday, March 3 7:45c -p- m. Fountain Junior Woman’s Club meets with Mrs« Dawson Jefferson and Mrs. W.
