British Magazine Reveals Features
Of Heavy Cruiser Used in USSR Navy
The Soviet eruiser, Sverdlov, one of * number of her class which Ike USSR it reported to have in aer
vice with more on the wiys. The pirtare is hosed on information gathered by British expert*.
A sensation of the naval review
staged in connection with the coro
nation of Elizabeth It was the ap
pearance of a new Soviet cruiser,
the Sverdlov. Photographs were
taken, but at a distance, and some
external equipment had been re
moved, so it was not possible to
tell much about the ship at the
time.
Now the British publication The
Navy has printed an arttcle wHh
some details about her and deduc
tions as to some other probable
features. The article is digested in
the July issue of The Military Re
view, published by the Army's
Command and General Staff Col
lege.
The Navy says the Sverdlov is
690 feet long with a 71-foot beam,
indicating a displacement of about
16,300 tons ? a little less than the
heaviest U. S. cruisers of the Salem
class.
Armament is reported to consist
of four triple 6-inch gun turrets,
12 3.4-inch gun houses, which may
be gas-proof and air-conditioned,
32 37-mm antiaircraft guns in twin
mounts, two sets of quintuple tor
pedo tubes and two chutes for lay
ing mines.
Belt armor is believed to be
about four inches thick, deck armor
one or two inches.
"It was interesting to see," the
Navy says, "that the Sverdlov car
ried both visual range finders,
mounted in cupolas German fash
ion, as well as a certain amount of
radar . . . The presence of the op
tical range finders suggests that
they may be regarded as more than
a stand by in case of electronic
hronliHnti'n "

Ex-WAC and Photographer
Make Stable into Showplace
Louise Young and Jean Squitter check photos.
By RICHARD J. SINNOTT
Boston (AP) A former WAC
sergeant and a woman photogra
pher from Maine have transformed
an old police stable on staid Bea
con Hill into a showplace of suc
cess.
Louise Young, 35, of Corea,
Maine, and ex-Sgt. Jean Squitter,
33, New York, are now recognized
by their male competitors in Bos
ton as leading commercial photog
raphers.
Friends for many years, Louise
and Jean put their heads and
cameras together eight years ago
after deciding "we'd be happier
going broke together ? than mak
ing fortunes separately."
Jean, who majored in French at
Hunter College, invested three
years of Army training in the firm.
Louise, who has clicked cameras
from Maine to Florida, contributed
10 years' office and photography
experience.
"Neither of us invested any
money," they recall. "We Just
didn't have any ..."
The girls rented the Beacon Hill
stable (on credit), bought supplies
(on credit), rented an apartment
(on credit) and began to aim their
cameras at commercial accounts
The chose the abandoned police
barn aa headquarters because "it
was cheap to rent."
Even after extensive alterations
a large area in the stable remains
untouched. "We didn't remove
many of the stalls, mangers, hitch
ing posts or oat bins for several
reasons," they explain.
"First, ? we weren't strong
enough to pull up the relics. Sec
ondly, we didn't have the money to
fill in the space. And now they've
become a habit ? a bit of oM Boa
ton under our roof.
"So what started out to be al
most an obstacle haa turned into
an asset. The stable le definitely
an attraction."
The partners refer to their first
years in business as "baloney

Their initial success came when
they landed ? Tufts College ac

Success is no longer just around
the corner -they've hitched it to
