US. Navy Siies Is Called Equal To Rest Of World IN (@—An authoritative aavdl publication says the fighting: _ power of the U.S. Navy equals the combined strength of the other Major navies of the world. The Americans also appear to be taking greater scientific strides than any other navy. “Jane’s Fighting Ships,” a stan- dard reference work on the world’s navies, said in its latest edition yesterday the U.S. Navy of 5,000 vessels is the largest peacetime fleet ever maintained by any na- tion. Russia topped the United States only in numbers of sub- marines, Jane’s said, but added that the Soviet Union is building up “substantial forces” of cruisers, destroyers and submarines. Russia’s underwater fleet was estimated at 370 to 400 vessels, | as compared to 200 in the U.S, | Navy. i Actress Faces Sentence Nov. 17 LOS ANGELES ™ — Actress Lynne Baggett faces a probation hearing and sentence Nov. 17 on a felony charge of hit-run driving in the death of a 9-year-old boy.

Dewey says it is up to “the courts to decide” if Averell Harri- man is ineligible to serve as gov- ernor because he voted two years ago in a Washington, D.C., presi- dential primary. Harriman, Democratic-Liberal party candidate for governor against Sen. Irving M. Ives in the Nov. 2 election, contends the vote in no way impaired the legality of his New York residence or his right to hold the office. He said the vote was as informal “as a vote for your favorite base- ball player.” ; Dewey said in a television-radio speech last night. that Harriman state residence, required to become governor, by swearing he resided in the District of Columbia. “Did he tell the truth?” Dewey asked. “Or did he commit per- jury? I don’t know. That’s for the courts to decide.” The governor did not indicate who, if anybody, would ask a }|court opinion. To newsmen who inquired after his speech, Dewey said: “The entire subject is being stud- Hl | ied.” William J.

Courts Republican court challenge of Har- riman’s eligiblity. Dewey contended the Washington. Primary, in June 1952, was “a rea? election of delegates to'a national presidential convention.” “The rules are clear,” he said. “No man can be a resident of both the District of Columbia and his home state. He can vote in one or the other. He can be a resident in one or the other—but not both.” Harriman, in his first comment on the Dewey charge, asked: “How silly can we get?” He later told a news conference that Dewey was trying to “steal” the Nov. 2 election for Ives “by default” and declared: “Well, he won’t get away with x” Harriman said he had voted in the Washington primary and would not have done so if there had been any question that it would interrupt his legal residence in New York state. He said sample ballots for the primary specifically stated that participation ‘‘does not prevent your voting in your home state ip November.” “The people of Washington have no right to vote and there are no| election laws in the District of Co- lumbia,” he said. Harriman, who was in Washing- ton at the time as U.S, director of mutual security, was a candidate in the presidential preference pri- mary. He won, defeating Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) and three other candidates, but lost out at the presi- dential nominating convention to Adlai E. Stevenson. One reason he voted, he said, was to show his confidence to the people in Washington that they were not jeopardizing their No- vember. eleetion votes in their home states. Gov't Minister Leads Raid To Destroy Truck | By L. S$ CHAKALES ATHENS (#—At 3 a.m., one ‘day a year ago, a handsome, well- dressed man and a gang of la- borers watched a streetcar pound down its track in the heart. of Athens, shattering the quiet of the night. “Now!” cried the leader. The gang jumped into the mid- dle of the street, hooked up torches and started cutting the streetcar tracks along Patissia Boulevard. The man who led this raid on the privately owned streetcar tracks was Constantine Karaman- |lis, minister of public works. He | |did the job when he grew tired of the traction company’s delays in removing the tracks. He want- | ed to widen the street for vehicular traffic and substitute rolley buses. He got away with it; the trac- tion company never followed up a threat to sue. | Karamanlis, a man of action, is | perhaps causing more changes in| the face of Athens than any man since the days of Pericles, 2,350 | years ago. The 46-year-old minister has 482 public works projects under way,| including dams, irrigation, roads, | bridges and ports. “I get the money, somehow,” he says. He talked the Cabinet into put. ting a 3 per cent levy on all rent. als in the capital area, Attica, to get under way the Yliki water project to supplement Athens’ was ter supply. Out of this same money, he is putting in the first modem sewage system. i The Pireaus port organization had been running huge deficits jevery year. Karamanlis tock it! over, and this year, he says, it| produced $1,730,000 in revenue, This is being used for extensive improvements, including sewers, streets, bridges and harbor im- provements in Pireaus. Other projects include two mag.| nificient boulevards—Patissia and Queen Sophia—in the heart of Athens.
