Sullivan Predicts Cost
OF Defense Will Rise;.
Sees ljndersea Battles
By John A. Giles

Navy Secretary Sullivan, warning
that the cost of the Nations de-
fense will continue to rise, predicted
last night that a future war might
see as many battles under the sea
as on the surface.
Maintaining an effective Navy
has required large appropriations
in recent years." he said. ITO main
tain an equally effective Navy in
the future, the cost inescapably
will be still larger
He listed imitation, more complex
war machines and exhaustion of
wartime stockpiles as reasons for
larger defense appropriations in the
future and added that this year
the actual cost of operating the
Navy would exceed by more than
$1,0O0,000,0 900 the cash voted by
Congress.
Mr. Sullivan's statement, appear
ing in his annual report to Defense
Secretary Forrestal. followed within
a week President Truman's request
for the largest peacetime military
budget in the Nations history.
Strong Defense Seen Vital.
at is felt that the international
controversies developing since World
War II are susceptible to eventual
resolution" Mr.. Sullivan said, add
ing:
In any event, strong defense
is the greatest deterrent to attack,
and is therefore powerful influence
for peace. The Navys plans and
condition of readiness are geared to
provide that influence.
Submarine development has indi-
Gated that the building Of vessel

Secretary Sullivan reported.
With 70 per cent of the earth
covered by water, and with the
advantages of concealment and diff
fcult detection afforded by that
water, it is possible that future
conflict might involve as many bat
ties under the sea as on the surface
he added.
He reported that better detection
and destruction methods are being
developed against the major threats.
Of "fast, deep-diving submarines,
kigh-speed planes and guided mis-
sales and atomic weapons Weap-
on improvements are moving so
swiftly that any future war would
find radical alteration in traditional
methods of naval warfare, he said.
Push-button warfare and remote
controlled battles "are far from
realization and may not fully ma
tarialize in our time" but there is
q trend toward overall automatic
control of aircraft, which may
eventually mean the end of piloted

Fairfax County's 3O-day ban on
sewer. extensions ended last night.
Sanitary Engineer James j. Cor
balls said that beginning tomorrow
ne would grant permission for sewer
extensions requested by builders,
unless he receives instructions to
the contrary
The ban was imposed by the
fairfax County Board of Super
visors after it appealed to the
State Water Control Board last
month to permit Groveton to con-
meet with the Holmes Run trunk
sewer that flows into the Potomac
River. The water board said sew
age disposal facilities would have
to be provided before Groveton
could connect. The water board re-
minded the supervisors that Vir-
ginia law prohibits the emptying
of additional sewage into any Vir-
ginia river.
Mr.. Corbalis said yesterday that
no one had requested permission to
extend sewer lines during the 30
day ban and he believed that no
developer had been affected
