CHANGED WORLDS NAvIEs

 It took years of painstaking ex- perimentation in cramped testing pool in Washington. The plan he evoled was called the "bulbous bow. v To the inexpert eye it looked as Ii putting ship bulge on the lower part of a ships bow would raise even bigger wave ahead than would a knife edge. Taylor proved it would not. Every modern destroyer, battle ship and cruiser now has the "bul- blous bow" design he worked out
 Speed lining of ships was not his only contribution to naval de- signing. He put the U. s. navy in the lead of other navies for time by center-l lining the firing turrets. Old line battleships balanced their gun turrets on opposite sides of the ships.
 Taylor designed the system which permits the four heavy turrets, two aft and two forward, to ride the center-line of the ship. It increased fire power, accuracy. and stability of the ship. Equally important, it put the turrets farther into the core of the ship, adding strength and ef- ficiency. Every world navy followed suit.

 FRONT MAY REFLECT THERE
 CONTROVERSY, MAITLAND
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. The story persists in responsible inter- national circles that the German high command has definitely split into moderate and extremist wings. with the moderates on top-up to now
 The moderates are supposed to be holding out to the bitter end against invasion of neutral Bel gium or Holland They not only fear the impact of such maneuver on world public opinion, but also they are wondering if Russia might not change friends in the middle of the melee-and hem the father land about with the strongest mili- tary trap ever devised by man.
 These moderates are also advis- ing Hitler he can't expect to flank the Maginot Line In 1889 or 1940 any more than the German army could flank the Allies in 1914
 They're telling him the net re- suit would be to achieve nothing more than submarine and air bases closer to the British Isles, at the expense of many thousands of lives. Meanwhile, the German army's fighting front would be doubled in length to nearly 400 miles, from the Swiss border to Ostend, Belgium, and half of it would be unfortified.

Now the Nazis seem to be on the spot. They apparently have agreed not to fight on the westwall. And Herr Hitler, apparently, is keeping his faith with the moderates - so far.
 That leaves the old-line military caste on top of the heap, despite the mysterious death in Poland of their former commander-in-chief, Colonel General Werner von Fritsch. The general had been denoted to

LONDON. Nov. 27-Allied mer- chant and war fleets suffered new blows over the week -end in the sink ing of the luxury liner Pilsudskl, over 16.O00 tons, and the British armed merchant cruiser Rawalplndl, more than 14,000 tons, with a re- ported combined loss of 297 men.

But what's more interesting is the reason given for the moderates' strong position in Nazi inner circles. Here's the way the story goes:
 When Hitler and his army com- mand were discussing Poland in August it was generally agreed that a blitzkrieg should be feasi- ble and-barring rain-successful.
 But the moderates advised against it. They said it would draw the Brit ish into war. They reminded the Fuehrer that even his No. 3 man Hermann Goering-did not want to fight the British.
 Incidentally, Goering told a fa- nous American shortly before the war started that the German blum der in 1914 was to put the British empire in a position to oppose the Reich. That said Goering, cant happen again"
 But the Nazis apparently were convinced that the British would not fight in 1939. So, the story goes, they blithely promised the mod crate army chieftains that they wouldn't have to fight on the Vest ern Front. And on that basis, Ger many invaded Poland.

dream of every kid ball player on
every corner lot in America is being
lived by two youngsters on the
Kansas City Blues-Gerry Priddy
and Phil Ri2utto, the two most Gov
eted and highly-prized ball players
in the minors.
Rizutto is 10 and a product of

form the greatest kid keystone com
bination the minors have seen in
many a year. And they belong to
the New York Yanks. Money can't
buy them.
Already George Weiss, head of
the Yankee farm system, has
shaken his head to offers of $l00,-
600 and more. They are conserva-
lively valued at $l50000 as baseball
flesh is priced these days. The
Yanks plan to keep them together
in the minors one more year for
seasoning and introduce them To
the Yankee stadium fans in l94l.
Every scout who's looked at these
kids has placed the stamp Of ap-
proval on them. They have every
thing-speed. defensive skill, bas-
ball savvy and above all they can
hit. The latest American Associa-
tion averages list Rizutto hitting .344
and Priddy 1872. They have made
about so more double plays than
any other keystone combination in

an stolen bases, is close to the top
