Truman Says
Peace Chance
Good For So
BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON R--on April Is,
1850, President Truman, in a
confident and optimistic mood,
said the prospects for lasting
peace were better than at any
time since the start Of the cold
war in 1896.
Two months later the Commu-
nists began the war in Korea.
Now, after two years of dealing
with them, the President is q little
more cautious about his forecasts.
He said he was not a prophet
when newsmen asked him yester-
day about the prospects for peace
now.
But under prodding he said he
thought peace chances in 1853
looked brighter than a year ago
all around the world. He didn't
give his reason for saying so ex-
cept to say he knows lot OF
things he can't talk about.
One Of the reasons for his
guarded optimism may nave been
the kind Of weapons this country
has been able to build. including
the atom bomb, which might act
as a deterrent on Russian inten-
tons.
For. not long after the Presi.
dent spoke, his director Of defense
mobilization, Henry II. Fowler. is
sued a quarterly and final report

Fowler who is resigning. said:
II believe II is probable that the
teehnical superiority Of our
country, particularly in the field Of
atomic weapons. has been the de.
cisive factor that has deferred the

from attempting aggression on q

First Flight
OF Anti-Sub
Plane Revealed
Equipped With
Gear To Hunt
Out Enemy Subs

First flight of The Grumlian
S2F-1, newest anti-sl hmarine air
plane, has been announced by the
Navy. The twin engine airplane
flew for the first time December
4 from the airport of GrumIlan
Aircraft Engineering Co-po alton
at Bethpage, Long Island. N. Y.
The S2F-1 is the first carr =
aircraft combining features f..
submarine search and attack in
one airplane. It's equipment in
cludes the most modern detection
gear to hunt out enemy undersea
craft. In addition, it carries the
latest submarine destruction de-
vices developed through years of
Naval experience in operation
against enemy submarines. For
the performance of these missions
the S2F-I requires a crew of four.
The Nays stan5,rd carrier
based anti-submarine aircraft up
to the present has been the Grum-
man Guardian. Produced as a
''hunter-killer" team Of two air
planes, one Guardian is equipped
to seek out and the other to de-
stroy enemy submarines. The new
S2F-1 performs both missions.
An outstanding feature of the
S2F-1 is its ability to operate un-
der severe weather conditions.
This is made possible by incor-
porating in its design the latest
navigational and weather equip
ment available in the aircraft in
dustry.
The S2F-1 is powered by two
