732 .imp A lx fs. Sgdwhlhw. - sf. l , ,t ADMIRAL PRICE, U S N ln Admiral Price, the ROCS were privileged to hear one of the Navy's foremost experts of naval air power. For some of the graduating candidates Ad- miral Price's words were an introduction to their chosen naval careers, aviation. Admiral Price in his speech warned the ROC grad- uateslthat the U. S. Navy would face a formidable task if Russia should decide to start a full-scale war. Russia has more P-T lpursuit-torpedol boats and other small craft than all the other countries put together, she has a formidable fleet of 300 sub- marines, a strong force of cruisers and destroyers and three modern battleships equipped for rocket launching.

He declared the nation, civilian and military, should tighten its belt and keep ready and the United States must maintain its aircraft strength and further stated that no nation has ever captured and turned a carrier on an enemy.

His im- pressive talk will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration to those 400 who went forth from Terminal Island as Ensigns, USNR. I
