Warns Russia
Has 300 Submarines
BY the Assoeioied Press

Secretary of the Navy Kimball
said yesterday that Russia's sub
marine fleet has been expanded
since World War II from so to
300 or 400, and that it constitutes
"a very real threat" in the event
of war.
In the same period as the Rus
sian expansion, he said. the United
! States Navy's sub strength has
grown from 10 to about 100.
| Appearing on the CHS television
program "See it Now" Mr.. KIM
ball said:
Communist Russia has no sub
stantial surface fleet that we know
of. But, in the event Of war, her
rapidly growing undersea fleet
would constitute a very real

not win a war. But If we

Mossadegh Followers

hail the closing Of Britain's nine
IconSulates in Iran.
damned into Teheran's main
square, the demonstrators roared
death to the British" and
cheered Mr.. Mossadegh wildly as
political speakers cited the clos
ling as a patriotic victory.
Moslem Leader Ayotallah Kas-
hani, Mr.. Mossadegh's most pow
Ierful hacker, declared tomorrow a
national holiday and urged Mos
lem faithful to express their ap-
Ipreciation by voting rather than
demonstrating.
Voting to Continue.
Moret han 100000 Teheran
residents are expected to vote to-
morrow, Wednesday and Thurs
day in Trans slow-motion ma
|tional election. Balloting has been
going on since January S and will
continue several more weeks. Six
Mossadegh hackers have been
elected thus far, to none for his
opponents. There are 1856 seats
to be filled.
Mossadegh campaigners are
trumpeting the fact that the Pre-
mier has won a double victory
from the West-closure of the
consulates and $24 million in
American aid with virtually no
strings attached.
The aged Nationalist Premier
also was threatened with death by
the fanatic Moslem sect, Fedayan
Islam, unless he released the sect's
imprisoned leader.
Mr.. Mossadegh said yesterday
that his cabinet had approved a
working agreement giving Iran the
$24 million in Point -Four aid for
technical assistance and develop
ment. Because the United States
wants to retain foothold in this
strategic Middle East domain on
Russia's southern border, the
Americans waived a requirement
of the Mutual Security Act that
aid benef1ciaries must contribute
actively to Western defense.
British Obey Orders.
The British consulates closed
their doors in obedience to an
1ranian order which charged Brit
ish officials had been interfering
with Iranian affairs. The British
denied the charge and cited an
1857 Anglo-Iranian treaty per-
mitting them to maintain con-
sulates in all places at which other
countries were represented.
The 1ranians rejected the Brit
ish contention and said the United
Nations Charter had superseded
the 1857 treaty.
The government made one
overture to the West. A state
ment by Minister of Roads Javad
Busheri, which Mr., Mossadegh ap-
proved, said Iran extends the
hand of friendship to those pow
ers who respect our political and
economic independence and terri
tor1al integrity, provided that,
while shaking our hands. they do
not pinch the ring from our
finger"

TOKYO ~ On August Is II will
be seven years since Emperor
Hirohito broke the news of Jap
ans defeat to his dumbfounded
subjects. His voice, secretly re.
corded on the previous night, was
broadcast from Tokyo, the shatter.
ed capital of an exhausted country.
In Tokyo today you see evidence
of the historic changes that the
past seven years have brought to
Japan. One significant change is
in the Catholic population here.
August Is, l945, there were
about 1000 Catholics in Tokyo. To
day there are about 10000. Since
1945 more than 10000 japanese
adults have become Catholics in
this archdiocese. Natural increase
and the return Of refugees have
added another 1000 or more.
II is estimated that more than
1000 adults became Catholics in
Tokyo during the IL months end
ing June 30, 1852. This is more
than the total conversion for al
Japan in an average pre-wai
year.
