Tito turned to shake hands with Churchill.who had quietly dropped his partly-smoked cigar into the river.

Police on horseback, motorcycle and feet were everywhere. Streets leading to the pier were closed to all traffic.

The precautions were dictated by fear of Communists fiercely loyal to Moscow. mo-hating Brit- ish racism and many Yuaosiuv monarch!-Its who are living in British exile.

Reports Boost Soviet Warships - Construction

LONDON. (AP) - Russia. with the. world's Second most powerful navy, is building more cruisers than all the North Atlantic Treaty powers together, Britain's first lord of the admiralty said Monday.

.7. P. L. Thomas was introducing the navy estimates for 1958-54 in the-I-louse of commons.

"The increase in speed of the soviet naval construction program has been very remarkable of late,” he said.

"At present it includes many destroyers and submarines while more cruisers art now being built annually than by all of the NATO forces combined," he said.

Second Largest Navy n

Thomas added that Russia has about 20 "very powerful" cruisers. more than 100 destroyers and more than 350 submarines-making it the second largest navy in com- mission in the world. The U. 5. has the largest and Britain now is third in naval power.

"Russia also has a powerful naval air force. It is no use blind- ing ourselves to the fact that there is a very strongly armed and ef- ficient Soviet navy." the minister said.

Most of these forces are con- centrated in the Baltic and north- em areas, Thomas added.

Thomas said that in a few years time the Royal Navy will seek more funds to step up the con- struction of modern new warships.

But for the time being "we have to see, to the best of our financial ability" that Britain's navy is "fully prepared" in case "war in all its modern beastliness should come."

Revised Program

Defence cuts have forced the navy to "re-phase our program to avoid the cancellation of warship building orders on any consider- able scale."

Priority is being given to ships for mine-sweeping anti-submarine duties and on the completion of aircraft carriers, he said.

Thomas gave no figures but Brit- ain's active fleet was recently re- ported to consist of one battleship, the 42,000-ton Vanguard, two fleet csrrers, three light fleet carriers, ll cruisers, 31 destroyers, 31 frig- ates, 3'1 submarines and a number of minesweepers. other ships, in- cluding four battleships. are held in reserve.

"If we are no longer the biggest navy in the world, we have no in- tention of being anything but the best," he sad.

Comforting Developments

Thomas said it was "comforting" that Britain had made use of such recent technical advances as the angled deck making it easier rm- planes to land on carriers, the steam launching catapult, the anti-submarine mortar and the use

of gas turbines for marine propulsion. The navy has also placed a

substantial order for a new naval jet fighter of the swept-back wing tyne. twin engined and capable of a high rate of climb. It is des- cribed as the most powerful fight- er ever designed for carrier work. Details are still secret.
