Soviet “Submarine Power In The Pacific” Is Estimated By U.S. Naval Force Commander By ROBERT BUNSON TOKYO —The Russian Navy May have as many as 90 subma- tines in the Pacific area, Vice Adm. William Callaghan, com- mander of U.S. naval forces in the Far East, estimated today. “These submarines definitely would be a threat to maintaining sea lines of communication,” said the tall, grey-haired admiral, whose job would be to fight tiem in the event of war with the So- viets. “Russia has a tota! of 375 sub- marines,” Callaghan said in an in- terview, ‘“‘and we feel it would be reasonable to expect that one-quar- ter of them are in the Pacific.” He estimated the Russian Pa- cific fleet also has 50 destroyers and two cruisers, but no aircraft earriers or battleships. “Submarines and air power are their greatest threat, so far as So- viet capability is concerned,” Cal- laghan said. Two wecks ago, Gen. Earle E. Partridge, Far East Air Forces eommander, said combined Soviet, Chinese and North Korean air forces had 7,500 planes, most of them Russian. Russian ground strength in the Far East has been estimated at 35 combat divisions by a high-rank- ing officer on the staff of Gen. John E. Hull, Far East command- er. Callaghan, the first skipper of the famed battleship Missouri, is a veteran of both world wars. He was in charge of the Military Sea Transportation Service during the Korean War. His present command includes the U.S. 7th Fleet, made up of de- stroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers, but presently no battle- ships. The 7th Fleet is charged with THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Preventing a Chinese Red invasi of Formosa, Chinese Nationalist redoubt. Callaghan also is in charge of the Amphibious Force, West Pa- cific, made up of attack trans- Ports, cargo ships and landing craft. He also is in command. of fleet activities in the Navy yards at Yokosuka and Sasebo, Japan, and Inchon and Pusan in Korea. Although there are no battle- ships in the Far East at present, there are four aircraft carriers— the Boxer, Phillippine Sea, York- town and Hornet. The latter three are doing service with the 1st Fleet in the South Pacific. The Boxer has been in Yokosuka undergoing routine repairs to the flight deck. Workmen Find Discarded Relics PHILADELPHIA (®# — Workmen cleaning behind a brace of 30-year old telephone booths in City Hall yesterday found some articles ap- parently discarded by telephone callers over the years.

(W—A traf- fic officer stopped Rudolph Goe- bel’s car after a traffic rule in- fraction and asked for Goebel’s driver’s license.

Thursday, August 5, 1954 every Lie Detector Set For Suspect In 179 ° Child’s Slaying MIAMI (#—Police planned a lie detector test today for a man held in connection with the kidnap- slaying of Judith Ann Roberts, 7, a month ago. Lt. Chester Eldredge of the homicide bureau, said the man was to have been questioned yes- terday but absence of the crime laboratory technician on vacation caused postponemerit until today. No charges have been filed and the man was not identified. A woman picked the man out of a lineup. of 10 at the police acad- emy. She identified him as the person she saw running across U.S. Highway 1 on the night of the slaying. Judith Ann’s body was found in the area about five hours later. Trailerite Wants To Pay Taxes LINDEN, N.J. (®—Stephen Sem- ber was a tax collector’s dream come true today. Sember, who lives in a trailer, lodged a formal complaint with the City Council demanding to know why he hasn’t been billed for taxes. Sember said yesterday he had lived in trailer camps in various parts of the country for the past 10 years and always had been obliged—and happy—to pay his taxes. Why, he asked, should * be any different in Linden? The Council’s tax committee promised to look into the matter. Red Poland Protests Asylum For Stoaway LONDON (#—Charging “brutal disregard of the rights of a foreign ship,” Communist Poland has de- manded the return of the stow- away the British freed last week from the Polish freighter Jaroslaw Dabrowski. A protest note handed last night to the British ambassador in War- saw also demanded darnages and f, »|punishment for those responsible for the incident. London police snatched the Po- lish stowaway, 24-year-old Antoni Klimowicz, from the freighter after halting it last Saturday in the Thames. The seaman, seeking asylum in Britain, hid on the ship when it left Poland. Crewmen caught him before he could es- cape in London and were hauling him back to his homeland. Following a hearing Tuesday, Britain’s lord chief justice granted Klimowicz his freedom. He was told he could have a permit to work in Britain, and there ap- peared little likelihood the British would hand him back to the Poles. The Polish government charged in its note that he was a criminal who twice had been punished by the British authorities for smug- ging.

Sawyer said his following was jexpecting him to finish the crusade. “My flock is expecting me to keep faith and make a full report {on this place—but take my clothes off? Never!” he said.
