Directing the By The AP Feature Service * The British Navy's third critical period in yvears finds it under the leadership of a man who played an important part in the other two. He is Sir Alfred Dudley Pickman Roge! Pound Admiral of the! Fleet, first sea lord, professional sea- dog, outspoken big navy advocate apostle of action and a warrior who had his closest call in a dentist's chair. England knows Dudley Pound the “father” of Britain’s modern naval strates based on taking the initiative in war. He has been preaching the idea for 20 years In Battle of Jutland Pound saw its value demonstrated during Crisis No. 1, the World War. For the first two years Britain fols| lowed a policy of “passive” resistance to German attacks. Then, in 1916, all that changed. The British attacked the Germans off Jutland and sent them home for good. Pound took | part in that famous battle as captain | of HM.S. Colossus. Facing destruc- tion by Germanh guns, he staggered his ship's speed so that the shells missed—by inches. i Crisis No. 2 began in 1935. War and | bloodshed broke out Spain, Palestine—at both ends of the Mediterranean, Britain's life- line. Pound was named admiral of blunt, energetic as in Eihiopia \en at the time she left, Mrs. Skeie |said the fear was prevalent now | that should Finland be invaded by | | Russia, the safety of the Scandina- vian countries would be doubtful. Mrs. Skeie, who nurse who has specialized in Swed- ish massage, plans to establish i herself in Juneau as a masseuse. - e HosriTAL NOTES || | | John McGuire has been admit- | ted to St. Ann's Hospital and is receiving medical attention.

Gets Major Naval Post The King of England rarely ap- points an Admiral of the Fleet in peacetime. But last July, when Crisis No. 3—the new World War—wa shaping up, Pound was so promoted {by King George VI. Weather-beaten and sharp-eyed Pound looks like what he is, a man of action. But his. 45 years of ser ice include not a little desk work As second Lord, assistant chief of the naval staff and director of the plans division of the Admiralty, he gained administrative experience.
