New Submarine Unveiled by U. S. Navy; It Is a Jeep! ANNAPOLIS, MD. The Reluctant Reluc-tant Turtle, a submarine jeep, was unveiled by the navy. Experts said the depth to which It may submerge "seems to be limited lim-ited only to the length of the neck of the driver, whose bead must stick out of the water." ! Hitting the water at-18 miles an hour, in a demonstration for newspaper news-paper men, the Turtle threw a spray 20 feet into the air and slowed to a walk. Then, using four wheel pow-' er, it churned on and the wheels submerged. Finally even the wind-; wind-; shield disappeared. It rode the ! waves like a duck.

Approximately Approximate-ly half of the United States army now is overseas and "so far as I know there is no plan to reduce forces either in Germany or Japan," says Gen. Thomas C. Handy, deputy chief of staff. He said that "we have reached the minimum" of occupation troops in Japan, although he cited no figures. General MacArthur months ago estimated esti-mated that 200,000 would be necessary. neces-sary. There are proportionately more troops in Germany than in Japan, Handy added, because Japan is not split into zones and has an efficient central government The army's biggest problem, he declared, is that "we lack trained personnel. ,But I can say we are on the upgrade.

C, where I attended a conference on pending sugar legislation for tW United States Beet Sugar Policy Committee. As a result of these meetings, and from my general observations, I feel constrained to" join Mr. Arvil Miller, president of the Idaho Sugar Beet Growers Association, in making a frank statement on the prospects which face the industry this year, and in succeeding years, after the national and world shortage has been relieved. . e Briefly, these are our conclusions and recommendations: 1. Any legislation which the present. Congress may pass, whether it extends the Sugar Act of 1937, (which would otherwise expire Decern- ber 31, 1947) or creates new legislation, will undoubtedly contain sugar beet acreage allotment provisions similar to those in the 1937 Sugar Act. We are making every possible effort to improve our relative position. 2. Despite this fact, it appears extremely doubtful at this time that the domestic beet sugar industry wul gain any substantial increase in S smaH Y- m 3Creag?
