Denfe|d Pictures Subs

Included Missile War
By the Associated Press

WILMINGTON, Del. Nov. 49,
Admiral Louis Denfeld said yester-
day that airplane carriers and sub
marines may team to direct guided
missiles against the enemy In any
future war.
I'VE can conceive our carriers
launching guided missiles and sub
marines, carefully spaced between
launching area and target, to act as
direction finders for the missiles, u
the Chief of Naval Operations told
the Rotary Club Of Wilmington.
Admiral Denfeld said the problem
Of undersea warfare, both attack
and defense, "is the priority item in
our planning"
He also indicated that the recent
simulated battle between a surface
fleet and submarines in the North
Atlantic of Argentia, New Found
land, did not produce conclusive re-
suits. Initial reports indicated the

ber of surface warships.
The admiral said the surface force,
with the exception of "a small lab
oratory force modernly equipped" ?"
used only World War II anti-sub-
marine devices. Then he added:
"The results of the Argentia tests
cannot be evaluated in a newspaper
headline. It will be many weeks be-
fore the complete results are ana
lyzed. They will not take full mean
ing until evaluated in the light of
other tests-tests where we will ar
bitrarily assign the target group the
advantages purposely given to the
submarine force at Argentia."
Admiral Denfeld said that "the
newest anti submarine devices
proved their effectiveness at Ar
gentia."

STALIN'S MOUNTAIN OF GOLD
Continued from preceding page

half million persons were transported to the Kolyma
between 1882 and 1910. So important is the project
to Stain that personal report on the gold prodlc
ton of Dastroy is cabled to him daily and there is
direct telephone line between the main administra
ton building and the Kremlin.
Capital of this gold empire is Magadan metropo
lis of 10000, which has risen magically out of the
tundra where Is years ago there sign of human
habitation The city located at the head of Nagaevo
Bay on the Sea of Okhotsk, overlooking magnif
cent harbor. Magadans main street is lined with
handsome brick buildings including the six-storv
Dalstroy Administration Headquarters, up-to-date
stores, printing plant from which daily newspaper
with Soviet propaganda is distributed to the slaves
a modern high school, laboratory, museum and
House of Culture where troupes perform for the
Dalstroy chiefs.
Plenty Of Workers
ACTUAL work on the Dalstroy project began in 1882
The Soviets lacked capital to finance the undertaking
but they had unlimited of another kind -
human beings The first shipload of slaves was un.
loaded late that summer at Nagaevo Bay, then a
bleak, treeess harbor surrounded by sheer cliffs
At a terrible cost in lives, a start was made on
harbor town. 35O-mile all-weather Kolyma Road
from Magadan to the gold fields. Exhaustion,
typhus and executions decimated the ranks of
the slave laborers rs-but they came, by the
shipload, year in and year out.
There is no telling how many persons have died
in the grim 16-year history of Dalstroy Petrov est
mates that at least 100000 of his fellow prisoners died
during his own six-year term Their nameless bodies
stripped of clothing, were dumped into the very
ground from which the yellow metal had been taken
human life for every handful of Staln's gold .
The Bering Straits separate Alaska and Russia by
only 40 miles, Beyond this narrow strip of water -
where Americans cannot see lies this vast and secret
gold empire disclosed to eyes for the first time in
Petrov's eyewitness story.
WITS Better To BE a Slave"
l HE who tells it is now 80 years old His face
is gaunt; six years of slavery have left their mark
upon him. Still. there is anger in him.
I'm ways" he says, 1T is better to be slave
than to be free in Russia today The citizen is always
afraid of Stalins police All his days and nights are
lived in this fear. But with prisoner, the worst
has already happened. There is no fear not
even Of death. A slave in Siberia does not care
much if he dies. -
Vladimir Petrovs story is the story of hundreds of
thousands of human slaves Living in conditions as
dark as the Middle Ages they are mining the gold
which has drastically altered Russias economic
position among the nations The unbelievably rich
resources of this slave empire threaten countrys
entire program for recovery and peace. They may
change the history of the world.
