Dukes Daughter Uses Sheet
To Slide to Arms of Bull Fighter

The duke, meanwhile, spent his
Saturday complaining to the po-
lice. The officers finally arrested
Angelita's hosts for kidnapping.
In the stormy scene that fol-
lowed in Madrid's police head
quarters, Angelita insisted she had
not been kidnapped, she'd left of
her own free will. Dominguin
said he regretted the escapade.
The duke admitted he. too. had
acted hastily.
Angelita was back home today,
but the word went around Ma
drid's gossiping society circles
that the duke probably will per-
nit the match after a little more
convincing from Dominguin. Ma
drid society thinks the nuptials
will take place in time to permit
the bridegroom to appear in a

Fourth Ship Destroyed.
A fourth, the Stalinskaya Kon-

reported laid down at Nikolaiev,
but James said it was definitely
destroyed on the stocks.
James said there were varying
reports on the Sovietski Soyuz.
One said that the ship, whose
hull was laid down in 1889 at
Leningrad, was so badly damaged
during the war that construction
had to be held up and it still was
on the stocks. A shortage of ma
terial in Russia was said to pre-
clude its early completion.
Another James. report from

First reports said that each OF
the three new battleships was
equipped with nine 16-inch guns
in three triple turrets. two forward
and one aft.
The Swedish report said the new
ships were equipped with two cat
apult towers for firing radio-con-
trolled aerial torpedoes.
A third report to James said the
Sovietski Soyuz is already in COM
mission as flagship of the fleet
commander in chief. and carries IL
17.7-inch guns, with a secondary
armament of eight 7 or 8-inch
guns. Displacement was listed as
81, 900 tons.
U. S. Has $500 Warships.
James observed that though the
United States Navy has suffered
further reductions. "it still is a

These included Is battleships. 103
aircraft carriers and 169 subma-

Russia Is Reported
Building Late Design
BaH|eships and Subs
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Dec. 19.-While Brit
ain and the United States are
scrapping or mothballing many OF
their warships. Soviet Russia is
reported to be building up her
naval strength with rocket firing
|battleships and long grange sub
marines.
James Fighting Ships. the au-
thoritative naval publication. said
today the Russians are. believed
building three ultra-modern, 35.-
000-ton battleships, equipped with
radio-controlled aerial torpedoes
and rockets. Two others were said
to be in the blueprint stage, and
possibly in the shipyard stocks.
Russia already is known to
possess two battleships.
Submarine Fleet Also Planned.
Tho Soviet Union also en-
visages, as part of its f1ve-year
naval building program, fleet
Of from 750 to 1000 long-range
submarines by 1851. James said.
Shipyards throughout the U. S.
S. R. and in the Soviet zone of
Germany were reported working
day and night in three shifts
turning out smaller war vessels
such as motor torpedo boats and
mine sweepers. James, regarded
as the last word on the worlds
navies, emphasized that its in
formation on Russia was pre-
sented with all due reserve. ="
Moscow does not publish details
Of its defense program.
The new figures were included
in James 1949-50 edition which
appeared today. The publication
is unofficial but authoritative.
James said it did not believe the
Reds had either the shipyards or
the technicianS to achieve their
goal of 1000 subs by the end Of
1851.
Priority to Submarines.
Submarine construction. it said,
had been given special priority.
A large number of new subma-
rines of the German type-with
high submerged speeds and long
ranges-were scheduled for de-
livery during 1948-9.
Some prefabricated submarines
were reported shipped from the
Baltic to the Far East.
James estimated that Russia
now has some $50 submarines Of
various types, including former
German ones.
Under the completed program,
400 would be stationed in the Far
East, 300 in the Baltic and the
rest in the Black and the White
Seas.
