TOKYO, Nov. 27.-The
United States high command
estimates Russia and Red
China have more than 100
submarines in their two Pacific
fleets. The command believes
it possible that missile firing
underwater craft may join the
Soviet force before long.
Admiral Harry D. Felt, over
all commander of United States
forces in the Pacific, says il
is believed more than 100 Rus
sian submarines operate out OF
Soviet ports in the North Pa
ci1lc.
There is evidence that Russia
has guided-missile submarines
elsewhere (navy reconnaissance
planes have photographed at
least one in the Atlantic). Thus
there "is no reason to believe
they couldn't have one in the
Pacific in the near future, "
Admiral Felt said.
Admiral Felt gave his views
in, answering questions at his
Pearl Harbor headquarters
earlier this week to a group
Of newsmen en- route to the
Far East.
Today, Admiral Herbert G..
Hopwood, commander of the
Pacific feet, told reporters in
Taipei. Formosa, that the
United States feet in the Pa
cinc now has been bolstered by
the arrival Of two atomic sub
marines. the Sarge and Swords
flSh. This brings the total Of
United States submarines in
the Pacific to about 40
Russia also has been turning
over submarines to Communist
Chlnas navy.
Admiral Felt told reporters
there has been no evidence Of
the presence Of an atomic pow
cred Russian submarine in the
Pacific.
About % submarines pres
emily are in the Red China
force as the result of a gradual
buildup during the last three
years, he estimated. He also
indicated belief that Russia
may be teaching her Chinese
ally how to build her own sub
marines.
At another briefing by Navy

officers of Admiral Hopwood's
Pearl Harbor headquarters, il
was pointed out that Russia
has a number of good. long
established naval bases from
which her undersea feet car
operate out of northern ports
including such places as Pet
ropavorsk on the Pacific sidC
Of the Kamchatka Peninsula
and Vladivostok on the Sea Of
Japan.
A new United States com.
mand organization, to havt
overall control of anti-sub.
marine activities in the Pacific
will be set up shortly, ont
officer said.
Rear Admiral Paul H. Ram.
sey, Chief Of Stan of the
Pacific Fleet, noted that Com.
munist submarines under in.
ternational law as recognized
by the United States can gC
to within 8 miles of American
territory. There is nothing tC
prevent them from operating
in any waters outside the g.
mile limit, Admiral Ramsey
commented.
He added that if you find
a Soviet submarine out in in
ternational waters you just tip
your hat.
The newsmen at the Pearl
Harbor brieflngS asked about
the possibility of Soviet or Red
China missile launching bases
on the Asian mainland.
Missile Launchers?
They were told there is no
evidence of such bases for
launching combat missiles from
along the coastal mainland.
However, there was the first
official confirmation from the
military that the United States
knows Russia has been test
firing ballistic missiles from
bases somewhere in the in
terror of the mainland, shoot
ing them into impact areas in
the North Pacific.
An Air Force briefing officer
said United States Navy re-
connaissance planes had re-
ported the Russian test f1rings
and that a similar check had
been made from the surface" !"
The number of test firings and
the manner in which checks
were made was not disclosed.

World Court
.CurbAssaiIed
By the Associated Press

President Eisenhower says
"the international community
needs to find more effective
means TO cope with and to
prevent such brutal uses Of
force" as the Communists en-
ployed in Hungary and Tibet.
The President said he intends
to renew his request to Con-
greSs to repeal a restriction on
United States participation in
the International Court of JUS
tice. or World Court.
At present this country re-
serves the right to decide
whether an international issue
falls within the World Courts
jurisdiction. In other words,
no case involving the United
States can be taken before the
World Court without this coun-
try's approval. Other coun-
tries also reserve this right to
veto" the courts Jurisdiction.
Mutual Defense Cited
elimination of this auto
matte reservation from our own
declaration accepting COM
pulsory jurisdiction would place
the United States in a better
position to urge other countries
to agree to wider jurisdiction
OF the International Court of
Justice" Mr.. Eisenhower said.
The President added:
The continued develop
ment Of mutual defense and
security arrangements among
the United States and a large
number of free-world countries
has provided a powerful deter
rent against international law
breaking.
"One cannot, however. be
satisfied with the way events
have developed in some areas
for example, Hungary and
Tibet. The international COM.
munity needs to find more ef-
fective means to cope with and
to prevent such brutal uses of
force"
The Presidents views were
expressed in a letter to Senator
Humphrey. Democrat of Min
nesota, chairman of the For
eign Relations Subcommittee
on Disarmament. The Eisen-
hover letter, in reply to one
from Senator Humphrey, was
dated at Augusta, Ga, Novem-
Der II. Senator Humphrey
made it public yesterday.
The Senator, in his October
IL letter to the President, had
praised Mr.. Eisenhower for
urging elimination of the World
Court restriction in his state
of-the-Union message last jan
uary. Congress took no action
on the Presidents recommen-
dation.
Seeks Committee Action
Senator Humphrey said he
will ask the Foreign Relations
Committee to hold hearings on
his resolution to eliminate the
restriction.
Mr.. Eisenhower told Senator
Humphrey the search for a
workable arms reduction plan
entails enormous risks. On the
other hand, he added, Success
IN this quest will bring greater
security to all countries and lift
the threat of devastating nu-
clear conflict" E
Mr.. Eisenhower said the
United States has followed a
policy of seeking international
agreements on manageable
segments of the whole arms
problem"
"The best and most carefully
elaborated agreements are
likely to carry with them some
risks, at least theoretically, of
evasion" the President wrote.
But one must ponder, in
reaching decisions on the very
complex and difficult subject of
arms control, the enormous
risks entailed if reasonable
steps are not taken to curb the
international competition in
ornaments and to move ef-
fectively in the direction of
disarmament"

County Law

The criminal session of the Circuit Court
for Montgomery County has started. There
Is now no need for one to seek the synthetic
pleasure of movies, plays or television. Such
productions are only as SKINNED milk when
compared to the rich cream of the courtroom
scenes that are daily enacted in the Court
House.
In the past, lawyers have said some rather
remarkable things during the trial of crimi-
nal cases. Speaking of the presumption of in
nocence a great lawyer once said, LET me
tell you, If your honor please, that this pre-
sumption, which is tipped over lightly on the
tongue, is worth its weight in precious gold.
The presumption of innocence is the first wit
ness that is called in every criminal case. He
comes stepping down the centuries wearing
the honors OF the ages upon his shoulders; he
was present at the time of the Magma Charta
and of the Declaration of Independence. No
lawyer has ever tried to cross examine him,
no man has ever dared to impeach him. He
stands behind the accused in every court with
his hand extended above his head, and as each
accusation is made against the accused, he re-
peatS not guilt, not guilty until at last by
the crushing weight of the evidence, and only
then, he withdrawS himself from the court
room and leaves the accused to the conse-
quences of his own conduct"
Many people become alarmed when they
realize that in order to convict defendant
the State must first charge a specific crime
and then prove the commission of the particu-
lar crime Their alarm stems from the fact
that conviction cannot be secured by prov
ing bad conduct Of the defendant which does
not bear on the charge. There is no need for
this alarm AS one great lawyer said, ut is
the glory of the English law that it requires,
even in the commonest cases, the utmost pre-
cision OF charge, and proof correspondingly
precise; hitting the bird in the very eye strict
ly conformable not merely to the substance of

image Is reinforced by some recently compiled
statistics which show that last year, the Civic
Center had an estimated total attendance of
21,500 people at 594 separate scheduled events
sponsored by almost 100 groups about quar-.
ter of which were city sponsored. This meas

1t is suIprsng-and disappointng-that fairly large

ers We are not exactly saying something when we
point out that the only motivation of persons in poll
tics to get what they out of nancialy the idea
of entering public life to render public service is not quite
yet universal in especially local government
Accordingly, would think the better type of public
officials should be eager to adopt ethical code such
the suggested to the County Council and to APP
point the commission ethical standards There would
be better way of telling the public 1--WE eager to
protect the public interest in the greatest possible degree

sound in that it will be the court of public opinion that will

Public hearings would be dutuly reported by the press
and official has nothing to hide he will have nothing
to fear This opening up of the whole business of naming
persons to public ofce-eng the public scrunize their
qualifications instead of after they're appointed
is sound There little question but what the public
would benefit under the recommended plan and that should

As long as this is true OF our law, citizens

duct, nOn-conforming political beliefs, and he
reticaI religious viewpoints
One of the most difficult tasks of the
court in the trial of a criminal case, particular
ly capital case, is that of sentencing the de-
PENDANT who has been convicted. There are
two points of view about what to do with
people who are convicted of murder. Last
June 5, Anateol Holt learned that his three
year-old daughter had been murdered by a
15-year-old honor student.
He wrote the following: Dear People,
write to you this morning at the rise of dawn,
still in the midst of tormented wake the
most terrible grief which has ever scared my
soul. After lost the most precious thing that
life ever gave to me, my girl child of Surpass-
ing purity and joy-a being profoundly close
to the secret wellsprings of life itself"
After explaining why he thought his child
was murdered by young boy who had been
deprived of love of his parents, he said: "Be-
ware citizens; the human animal cannot be
cheated forever. 1t will have love or kill. Had
l caught the boy in the act would have
wished to kill him. Now that there is no I'M
doing of what is done only wish to help him.
Let no feelings of caveman vengeance influ-
ence the court which will try him. Let US
rather help him who did so human thing"
Robert Ruark, on August 10, 1859, wrote
column concerning what to do with young
man who had killed an old gentleman What
he says too often reflects the feelings of the
people. He said, Mad dogs are mercilessly
extinguished 1 see no reason why this should
not apply to mad people if they are guilty of
the crime of murder -. say fry him."
At least Mr. Ruark does not recommend
lynching.
