Men are rightly afraid today of the
rising tide of evil and uncertainty
that sweeps the world.
We tremble at the menacing
danger of the atomic bomb. We
live in dread of another full-scale
war :. the remembered shadow
of economic depression :. the
widespread prevalence of crime
and immorality. We see these and
other evils as threats to our peace
and security, but we do not see
them for what they truly are. And
we overlook our most dangerous
enemies.
Actually, the evils which afflict
us are only symptoms Of what ails
us only the results of causes
which we allow to exist within
ourselves. Back of them all is a
basic human failure which many
men choose to ignore, which
Others hold too lightly, and which
some even try to glorify.
This basic failure is described
in a single, simple and ugly word
sin.
1t is. seemingly, reality which
all of us should understand "a
human failure which everyone
should be able readily to evaluate.
unfortunately, however, many
overlook the fact that the exfernal
acts of SHINING are but the CON-
pletion of offenses against God
already committed internally.
These offenses are the sins of
Pride, Anger, Sloth, Envy, Covet-
ousness, Glutoony and Lust -. the

It fulfilled its promise. Through two
World Wars, the subs of all nations
sank more shipping tonnage than all
other weapons combined and any in
formed Navy man will tell you the
Germans almost won each World War
with their deadly submarines. In
World War II alone, 2785 ships belong
ing to the United States, its Allies and
neutral countries were sunk by enemy
submarines. In the same war, our
submarines sank 1914 japanese ships
two thirds of her merchant fleet and
e-third of her Navy.
Since World War II submarines have
come still longer way.
With the development of the snorkel
breathing tube" they can operate
under water for days on end. In addi-
ton to firing torpedoes, they can
lay mines, carry troops and cargo,
refuel other craft at sea, lombard
coastal cities, take reconnaissance pho
tos, act as radar sentinels against
approaching ships and planes and fire
radio-controlled rockets. And the day
may not be far away when they will
fire guided missiles while submerged.
The vicious killer sub. the XII, has
been developed to track down enemy
submarines under water and, in the
next war battles may rage under the
sea as we'll as on the surface, on land
and in the air BY 1855, atomic energy
propulsion may increase underwater
speed and endurance.
These things mean still more gear
for the slender, 100-yard-long boats
which already contain bare minimum
of living and working space. And while
all these mechanical and scientific
strides have been taken, one machine"
until recently, has been more or less
neglected: The crewman.
He has been wedged in even more
tightly by the increasing gear until his
living conditions have become a major
problem.

THE GOOD submarine Argonaut
Il sliced swiftly through the choppy
Thames River at its base here and
headed toward the open sea. It was
a routine training cruise and through
the periscope the waves seemed ever
so close as the subs bow disappeared
below the surface.
New and old hands alike stood at
their posts-a bewildering accumula-
ton of instruments and controls as the
depth indicator showed 80, then 40, so
and finally 60 feet below the surface.
"Bewildering accumulation" is poor
description for the maze of pressure
valves and dials, wiring and pipes, air
ducts, torpedoes and firing tubes,
radarscopes and periscopes and the
thousand controlling gadgets
that are crammed into sub. In recent
years, more and more equipment-the
Navy calls it "gear'-has been squeezed
in at an amazing pace.
But this story is not essentially on
the mechanical and scientific wizardry
of modern subs. Instead, it Is about
how little interior decorating" such
as you might do in your own home, is
helping solve a couple of urgent sub
marine problems: Vision and habita-

The history of submarine develop
ment is an intriguing tale of mans
age-old ambitions to conquer the sea.
AS early as 1920, Dutchman, Cor

English Navy The first American
submarine tried unsuccessfully to blow
up a British warship in New York
Harbor during the Revolution.
In 1897, Robert Fulton, who 10 years
later invented the steamboat, was
experimenting with subs. According
to one authority, the first warship to
be sunk by sub-fired torpedo was the
American Housatonic, in the Charleston
IS. c. Harbor during the Civil War.
BY the late 1800s, several nations
were experimenting with electrically
driven subs and by 1900 our Navy was
in the business. At that time, sub
marine was promising but hazardous
