Moscow will be put on ice until further notice, surface indications to the contrary notwithstanding. Of late. the United States has permitted the shipment of considerable war materials to the Soviet Union and President Roosevelt has gone out of his way to speak of that country as a “friendly power. In view of the new MoscowTokyo pact giving Japan a free {hand in the South Pacific, however, the inclination here is to allow Soviet-American relations to mark time until Russia clarifies her extremely foggy intentions.

Her three inch dynamite-throwing guns, tiring ‘torpedoes’ almost two miles at a maximum air pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch, were invented by Lieut, E. L. G. Zalinsky, a Polish-born U. S. Army officer. The guns were 54 feet long, made of cast iron, and were mounted abreast at a fixed elevation of 18 degrees. Their muzzles projected through the foredeck of the sleek, | fast craft with their breeches deep in the hold. Thirty “torpedoes” {were carried on board, each seven feet long and weighing 1500 pounds

tle material damage. When she was retired, the then Secretary of the Navy wrote: “Under the protection of the guns of the North Atlantic fleet, she threw dynamite shells into the (Santiago) harbor. The effect produced was materially unimportant though morally great, This experi= ence confirmed the view that the ship was of limited usefulness. ! Stephen Conrad Stuntz Jr.,, a National Museum expert, writing in a recent issue of the United States Naval Institute proceedings, said that it was “unfortunate” that the Vesuvius had been compared with a battleship firing shells, rather than with a torpedo boat throwing torpecdoes. With her *“pop-guns,” she was superior to other torpedo boats of her era, he wrote. ‘Lhe cnief benefits to the Navy that she rendered, he added, were “advertising and goodwill.”

His brother, Leslie, ordered him a $1000 funeral today. “He's going to be buried in style,” Mr. Stewart said. “I can see no reason why it shouldn't be spent on him before somebody else gets it. If necessary, I'll hire two limousines to take his friends to the funeral.” The $1000 funeral will be held Thursday.
