The former commander In
chief Of the German Black Sea
feet believes the proposed West
German navy could play a major
role in helping the allies bottle
up Soviet submarines and war
ships in the Baltic in the event
of war.
Vice Admiral Hellmuth G.. A.
Heye. who is visiting the United
States as a guest of the State
Department, said in an interview
that the main task for the new
navy would probably be to assist
in closing the ring of defense
in Northern Europe"
Allied naval commanders see
the big Russian undersea fleet
anywhere from $50 to $50 boats
AS their number one problem.
If portion of these craft could
be sealed off in the Baltic it
would ease the strain consider
ably.
Admiral Heye, who is a mem
Der Of the West German Parlia-
ment (Bundestag). said that the
following types Of ships would
be needed for Germany,s navy:
Coast patrol vessels, with an
anti-submarine capability; mine
sweepers and small submarines.
Size Limited.
Under the recent London
agreement which is subject to
ratification by the nine par
ticipating powers, a limit of 5000
tons for surface craft and $50
tons for submersibles was set
for the West German fleet. The
personnel ceiling was placed at
10000 men.

active cadre Of nearly 1000
officers and men who are serv-
ing under the United States
Navy. These Germans man a

Along the political front, Ad-

/. The goal Of European polit-

ceasingly.
Q. The four years Of talk on
the EDO was not a waste of
time. but. on the. contrary, was
a "big success" in that it got

the Importance of continental
