Outboard Races Train Italian
_ PT Boat Commanders
<=f ' "s",.W-- ^;fs ___||
In an unusual method of train
ing future PT boat commanders,
the Italian Navy sponsors stock
outboard races for officer trainees.
In order to make Sure that the
outcome of the races will depend
solely on driving skill, the boats
were constructed from identical
plans, modeled after the Amer
ican Power Boat Association’s
popular B Stock Hydro class. In
addition, the boats are powered
by identical Mercury outboard
motors with Quicksilver lower
units. Trainees are assigned boats
by drawing numbers from a hat.
Italian Navy spokesmen assert
that trainees learn more about
the effects of wind and waves on
small craft through these out
board races than would ordinarily
be gained by years of experience
on larger boats. Racing forms a
major part of a course in fast
boat handling, and is compulsory
for men destined to serve on tor
pedo boats.

Negotiations Very Near
Truce In Korea—If Reds
Actually Want Armistice
WASHINGTON, Uf) — Senator
Sparkman (D-Ala) said that nego
tiators are “very near a truce in
Korea—if the Communists actual
ly want an armistice.
Sparkman, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Far
Eastern subcommittee and a for
mer United Nations delegate, said
in an interview he believes nego
tiations have reached the “break
ing point” in Korea.
“If the Communists want a
truce, we are very near to it and
we can get it,” the Alabama sen
ator declared. “Of course, no one
really knows whether the Com
munists really want an armistice
or whether they are just stalling
again.”
He said he feels, however, that
if the newest Allied offer now
being whipped into final form is
rejected by the Reds, the negotia
tions will be broken off quickly
by the U.N. representatives—and
he doesn’t know what would
happen next.
War Before 1955 Is Soviet
Plan Says Czech Officer
(Continued from Page One)
ago, told the congressmen Russia’s
plan to overwhelm Western Eu
rope was outlined in a lecture by
a Kremlin foreign service expert
named Sverdlov.
Bukar said that in the “Frunze
Military Sfchool” at Moscow, he
was taught that foreign army es
tablishments and labor unions
must be infiltrated and that Alas
ka was still part of Russia.
Bukar said his instructors told
him the Russians do not acknow
ledge the sale of Alaska by the
czars, “and the day will come that
we shall infiltrate Alaska, and
that Alaska shall again belong to
us.”
