Beat Sub Menace
BY the kSxocicted pre,x

A top Navy expert says he has
reason to believe that a develop
ment is just ahead which will en-
able the United States "to drive
submarines off the seas"
Rear Admiral C. B. Momsen
made this disclosure yesterday in
an address before the Washington
post of the Society of American
Military Engineers.
He is the inventor of the Nom
sen lung, used to escape from SUM-
ken submarines, and is now assis-
tant chief of Naval operations
for undersea warfare. Admiral
Momsen said he has reason to
believe that a solution is just
ahead to the Navy's most serious
problem in anti-submarine war
fare.
Cites Acoustic Problem.
He said that problem revolves
about the fact that modern sub
marines now can fire target
seeking and pattern-weaving tor
pedoes from distances beyond the
range at which ships listening
devices can detect the presence
of the submarines.
Now, he said, Il have reason to
believe that the solution to this
problem is just ahead, and if my
prediction is correct, submarines
will become a mighty dangerous
business
Without referring to previous
Navy estimates that Russia now
has about 270 submarines, the
admiral said:
Our most serious problem in
anti-submarine warfare revolves
about this question of range of
detection. We have a large num-
ber OF research projects which
deal with it. Until it is solved, we
will be certain to lose heavily
against enemy submarines. On the
other hand, if we do solve it, we
will be able to drive submarines
off the seas"
Temperature a Problem.
The admiral gave no details as
to how he believes the detection
problem will be licked.
He noted that one Of the prob
lens in using sound to detect SUBJ
marines is the fact that the speed
of sound varies with the tempera-
ture of the water. Except in rare
instances when the water is of a
uniform temperture, the sound
beams travel along curved lines.
He said a beam of sound energy
aimed at submarine a few thou
sand yards away may miss it en-
tirely because of this effect.

Potato Price Supports
Approach Showdown
In Senate Maneuyers
BY the Assoeiated Press

The question of continued price
supports for the prolific potato to-
day revolved around the merits o1
marketing quotas versus market.
ing agreements.
The difference Is in brief
Quotas are more rigid in applica-
ton and apply to all producers
big and small, regardless of loca.
ton. Agreements are area ar
rangements usually voluntary
and may not be uniform in appli-
cation.
A $3.50 million bill, footed by
taxpayers to keep up the price o1
surplus potatoes produced since
the war, has brought the matter
of controls to a head in the
Senate.
Would Nullify Lucas Move.
An amendment to knock out al
price supports for potatoes until
Congress can establish effective
marketing quotas has been added
to a House-approved cotton-pea
nuts acreage bill by the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
1t was sponsored by Senator
Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois.
Yesterday Senator Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont, offered an
amendment which Senator Lucas
said would nullify his move. It
would provide that no price sup
port be made available for Irish
potatoes unless (a) marketing
authorized by Congress or
CD marketing orders under the
Agriculture Marketing Agreement
Act of 1887, were in effect.
Today Representative Lovre,
Republican. of South Dakota, pro-
posed a farm program which
would assure farmers full parity
prices on their allotted shares of
the market, but would require
them to take cut-rate prices on
SurpluSeS.
1t would cost the government
less, he said, than the present pro-
gram or the Brannan plan advo-
Gated by the Truman administra-
ton.
A major premise of the Lovre
plan is the contention that farmers
are entitled to full parity on
domestically- ly-consumed farm prod
ucts.
The new plan would set UP
marketing quotas for various crops
and products to cover estimates
OF domestic requirements.
Senator Lucas told reporters
that he considers agreements un-
workable and contended that Con-
gress should establish quotas. He
estimated that if his rider and
proper quotas are adopted taxpay-
ers will be saved $50 million on the
1850 crop.
