The almost unbelievable and
utterly fantastic increase in
numbers of ships, and the in
creased size, strength and eff
cheney of each type battleship,
carrier, cruiser, destroyer. escort
vessel, landing craft and aux!l-
larry in the u. S. Navy has just
been revealed to group of
Washington correspondents visit
ing a few of the eastern Navy
and ship yards at the invitation
of Secretary James V. Forrestal.
How much of this new strik-
ing force will be in action in this
war is an open question. But the
mere fact that the Navy now
sees fit to lift the lid on what its
research and building programs
have been is evidence that some
of the new ships are even now
in action against the enemy. And
in total impact, effect of these
disclosures is to reveal to the
world that aggressor nation may

clubs was cashed and a small
spade won with the ace. Anoth-

went right in with the king,
and when the queen fell, she led
the jack of clubs. East had to

returned the queen of diamonds.
Declarer refused to ruff, dis
carding the five of hearts from
her own hand. East continued
with the eight of diamonds, Mrs.
Duncan ruffed, went over to the
dummy's king of hearts and led
the nine of clubs, discarding
her losing heart. All East could
win now was his king of spades.
Mrs. Duncan made three spades
doubled and East was sadder
but wiser boy.

that the Nazis have been con-
WINGED for long time that the
war would result in an Allied
victory, and have thus been
laying plans for the continuation
of the Nazi party after a German
military defeat.
The author reveals how, in
May, 1943, the Gestapo, under
Heinrich Himmler, was Off
cially put in charge of the entire
eparatory work for the Nazi
underground after the war. In
a brief survey of the rise TO
power Of the Nazi party, many
startling facts are presented
about the bankers and business
men who helped and are still
giving aid to Hitler's movement.
A detailed presentation is
made by the author as to how
the underground will be organ
lied in order to keep the move
ment alive during the period Of
Allied occupation so that the
Nazi party can again assume the
reins of power after the immed-
late postwar years. Under the
guise of such innocent organ
national setups as welfare and
humane organizations and wo-
mems clubs, the followers of the
Nazi philosophy will work I'M
dercover, awaiting the day when
the German people will become
dissatisfied with existing condi-
tons and welcome the regime
which had been carefully plan
ned beforehand.
One Of the most illuminating
sections Of the book concerns
the activities of pro-Facist and
nationalistic groups in the Unit
ed States, with very interesting
Sharacterizations Of the leading
Personalities involved.
In expounding the methods by
which the Nazis are planning
for World War III, the author
says tina: to thwart the under
ground plans 1T is not the re-
lative strength of the different
powers that must change, but
the relations Of human beings
within all the countries of this

from behind a stack of photo
