LONDON (CPI—An upsurge in Soviet submarine activity in the Atlantic and off the eastern North AmeriCan coast is reported by Jane's Fighting Ships.
The authoritative guide to the world’s sea power says the rea- son is that the Russian fleet need-s intensive training «to catch up with United States naval power if it is to out West Europe‘s life- lines to North America in event of war. .
Jane's new edition is out today. It has been published annually for more than 60 years, listing all that is known of the world’s navies. It gets assistance from most countries’ naval depart- ments—but not the Russian. SECOND T0 U.S.
The 19%59 edition says Russia now is a first-class naval power—— second only to the U.S.—~with a submarine force of 500 “its most formidable defensive arm."

marine engineering resources are being concentrated on nuclear- powered vessels, which involves the conversion of existing plants.
“In recent months it has be- come clear thaé the over-all tech- nological lead which the United States held over Russia is dimin- ishing.”
The activities of the major naval powers “points to the cer- tainty of intensive submarine warfare in any future hostilities."
“N a v a I administrators the world over have been shaken out of the orbit of conventional ships, conventional propulsion and con— ventional weapons.
MORE AWARE .
“Naval architects and mart- time experts are becoming in- creasingly aware of the revolu- tion in naval strategy and think- ing and in global sea warfare that the advent of the nuclear- powered submarine has caused.
,“Wiith their increase in size, propulsive power and destructive power, submarines are coming to be regarded by the principal naval powers as the capital ships of the future."
Battleships were rapidly be- coming extinct, with cruisers fol- lowing them into obsolescence- except in the 11.8. and U.S.S.R.—n and there had been ~ great resur- gence of specialized warships of the destroyer or frigate size.
Among nuclear powers there was “little reason to expect the airch c a rrl er to disappear

ture probably would be limited to about half the size of the largest existing vessels.
STILL THE CORE
Speaking of Britain's sea role, Jane’s s ay 5 aircraft carriers ‘will continue to be the core of the new strearnlined Royal Navy."
Britain has ordered four guided- missile destroyers of about 5,500 tons displacement, but it will be “some years" before they will join the fleet.
There were two significant de— velopments in Russian naval pol- icy in the last year, says Jane‘s.
“The dead wood in the shape of obsolescent warships has been cut out, and the men and re- sources needed to maintain the old ships have been diverted to the development of new weapons. BIG INCREASE
“And there has been is consid- erable increase in Russian naval activity on the high seas,“ includ- ing off the North American. coast.
Jane’s says that while Russia now has 500 submarines — the United States has 200-4116. Soviet Union is not turning them out at the same rate as two yea-rs ago.
Instead, Russia is believed turning its plants over to the manufacture of new types of sub- marines with improved propul- sion and more lethal weapons.
“There is evidence that Russian marine engineering and ship- building resources are being can cenltrated on nuclear - powered

Legion Spurs Drive To Help " ‘ Homeless Family Of Twelve
SUMMERSIDE — With an ob- jective “to get the Frank Arsen- ault family back in their home for Christmas”, the Summerside branch of the Canadian Legion held weekend meetings and, with the co-operation of the Summerside branch of the Can- adian Red Cross, organized a Frank Arsenault building fund, and got it underway with a $300 donation.
A. H. Hubley, owner of the fire damaged home occupied by the 12 members of the Arsenault family at 428 North Market St., met with the legion committee last evening and made- the 45:1 150 foot property and residence available for ownership by Mr. Arsenault, at a price considered equal only to the value of the lot on which the house is locat-
ed. . .
Mr. and Mrs. arseoault, their five sons and five daughters, were forced from their home by fire which did an estimated $1,200 damage to the house on Tuesday night. Since that time the members of the family have been divided for shelter by friends and neighbours.
Mr. Arsenflult is a fishermam labourer by occupation, is a veteran of the Second World War, and a member of the Can- adian Legion.
BUILDING FUND
The building fund will be ad— ministered by the relief Commit- tee of the Summerside Legion branch under the chairmanship of a committee composed of Gordon Kelly, chairman, George Peters, James Hogan, Dave Larkin. and Hamid Harkness.
An appeal for clothing for the family was made by Summer- side radio station CJRW follow- ing the fire, and the splendid response to this appeal resulted in the donation of sufficient clothing to supply the needs of the family in this respect. J.E. Dalton made available a build- ing located beside his Central Street drug store for receiving this clothing and other articles being donated to the family.
Cash donations made already in response to the appeal have been received by Frank Arnett,

Top Canadian
OTTAWA (OPT—One of Can- ada’s i e a din g numerologitsts, noted for his development of rock wool and of an economic process for the recovery of mag- nesia, is retiring after 35 years as a federal civil servant.
Montgomery F. (Monty) Goudge, 63, a native of Windsor, N.S., and a graduate of Kings College and Nova Scotla Techni- cal College, Halifax, has been chief of the industrial minerals division of the mines department
since 1950. Perhaps his in- 0 st notable achievement was his develop-
ment in the early 1930s of a pro- cess to make rock wool from limestone. Rock wool is used as insulation in almost every kind of building in Canada. He also developed rock wool from slag rock, the refuse from steel works. FOUND BRUCITE DEPOSITS Mr. Goudge’s discovery in 1939 of brucite deposits at nearby Wake-field, Que, was the first in Canada. Later, he developed an economic way of extracting mag- nesia from brucite, a proCess‘ that has given rise to a thriving industry in the country.
Magnesia is used as as fertilizer in agriculture and to make bricks for linings of blast furnaces at most of Canada’s steel plants and iron works.
