BRITAIN'S REIGNING FAMILY—Here is an informal picture of now Queen Elizabeth holding her one-year-old daughter Princess Anne, who reaches a chubby hand out for the chin of her father, the Duke of Edinburgh, who holds Prince Charles. Little Prince Charles, 3 years old, now becomes heir to the throne. This picture was made in August 1951 on the grounds of their residence, Clarence House, London, in
happier times before the king died.

Russia's Military Strength Exceeds Germany's In World War II
By THE UNITED PRESS
While the nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are planning their European army, let's see what the Russians are believed to have.
As opposed to the 1,430,000-man European army planned for sometime in 1953, officers at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters estimate the Russians to have 2 million men under arms now.
Here is how these officers broke it down:
United Press Correspondent Kenneth Miller talked to French, British and American officers at Eisenhower's headquarters and from them drew this interesting comparison: Russia is in better shape to start a war now than the Germans were on the eve of World War II.
Army—Russia has more than 2 million soldiers in 175 divisions—including 65 armored and mechanized units—plus 40 artillery divisions. Germany had only a little more than half this number.
Navy—Russia has 300 submarines
compared to 50-60 for 1939 Germany, although their techniques are weaker.
Air—the Soviets have more than 20,000 planes, not all first line but including an improved version of their excellent MIG-15 jet fighter. Hitler had 7,000 when he rolled into Poland.
Steel—Russia's production now is 31,500,000 tons yearly, according to latest published Soviet reports. German output was 22 million tons in 1939.
As of now, and not what he hopes to have at some further date. Eisenhower has some 25 divisions, some still mostly on paper. The whole emphasis of Eisenhower's army is being placed on its defensive nature.
Strong covering forces along the German-Austrian contact line with Russia, backed up by strong air power. These screening and holding forces would resist long enough to allow mobilization of the free-world reserves.
In the event of Russian aggression, the Allied Supreme headquarters hopes to offset the disparity in numbers with this formula:
About 18 divisions now are in the occupation zones, and a high SHAPE officer described them "as good as any in the world." They face about 25 Communist units in Germany and Poland.
So far, one of the weakest points in the plan is Allied air power.
