Submerged North Polar Sea Lane
WASHINGTON (R) - The United States atomic submarine Nauti-
has crossed the top of the world, steaming swiftly and silently
ler the eternal ice of the North Pole.
The White House yesterday announced the spectacular subsurface
age from the Pacific to Atlantic by way of the Arctic Sea, which
between the United States and Russia.
It said the famous submarine had pioneered a submerged sea
e pointing to possible use by nuclear-powered submarines carrying
imercial cargo.
But while President Dwight D. Eisenhower oriented his remarks
the peaceful possibilities of the route, it remains a fact that the

Nautilus is a combat vessel. If she
can roam under the polar ice, so
can the ballistic missile-firing Po-

The counsel suggested to Ricca
at the true reason the sale was
ade was because Ricca was a
end of Bert Brennan, a Team-

Skipper Decorated
The submarine's skipper, Cmdr.
William R. Anderson, native of
Bakersville, Tenn., received the.
Legion of Merit from President
Eisenhower. To the 116-man crew
went a presidential unit citation.
The circumstances of the an-
nouncement-the secrecy preced-
ing it and the drama of its set-
ting - seemed to have significant
overtones of a national prestige
effort.
Departure Kept Secret
Asked whose idea it was to send,
the Nautilus under the polar ice
and beyond the North Pole, White
House press secretary James C.
Hagerty replied: "I think as much
as- anybody's, it was the Presi-
dent's."
The Nautilus, the world's first
nuclear-poweredsubmersible, left
the United States naval base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, under high
secrecy in the black, predawn
hours of July 23.
Goes Under Ice Pack
She sailed silently kandunno-
ticed to the north, up past the
Aleutian Islands, through Bering
Strait, between Alaska and Si-
beria, headed up toward the roll-
ing, grinding fringe of pack ice in
the Arctic -- and then on under it.
Above Point Barrow, Alaska, the
Nautilus turned slightly eastward.
For a few minutes 'on the morn-
ing of Aug.. 1, she"surfaced
through one of the occasional
openings in the ice field to make
photographs. Then she slid be-
neath the surface again to resume
her 2,114-mile long journey under
ice.

he had run into too many compli-
cations..
Bucy hoped to follow the same
course, Burnham Harbor in Chi-
cago to Michigan City, Ind., that
proved too much for lifeguard Joe
Griffith July 30.
He found however that he would
need liability insurance for per-
sons who might gather to watch,
a boat to accompany him and,
most important, a sponsor to foot
the bills which jeopardize his
amateur status.
Two Bomb
Blasts Peril
Beirut Calm
Rebels Renew Protests
Against UN Delegate
BEIRUT () - Two terrorist
bomb blasts shook the uneasy
truce in Beirut yesterday as the
rebel front renewed its clamor
over Lebanon's representation in
the United Nations General As-
sembly debate on the Middle East.
One bomb blast wrecked a cafe
in the heart of the capital at
breakfast time. Two customers
were killed and three others were
missing.
Tanks Moved In
The second blast went off out-
side a tearoom. It left no casual-
ties. Government tanks were
rushed to the cafe. The proprietor
said two customers. were decapi-
tated by the blast.
There was no way of telling im-
mediately whether the bombings
signaled a resumption of the ter-
rorism that has marked the 91-
day rebellion. There has been a
truce since Parliament last week
elected Gen. Fuad Shehab presi-
dent as a compromise candidate.
Malik Protested
But from the'opposition Nation-
al Front came new protests against
Foreign Minister Charles Malik as
Lebanon's representative in the
UN General Assembly debate.
The front charged that Malik
speaks only for the outgoing pres-
ident and is antagonistic to the
policies of Shehab.

House OK's
Bill for Aid
'to Education,
WASHINGTON '(A)-The House
passed a 900-million-dollar aid-j
to-education bill yesterday after
stripping it of a college scholar-
ship program.
The legislation, inspired by Rus-
sia's strides in developing Sputnik
and missile scientists, now goes to
the Senate where a similar, more
ambitious bill is ready for action.
The Senate bill includes 175
million dollars for a four-year pro-
gram of college scholarships. If
the Senate votes to retain this
provision the issues will have to be
settled by a Senate-House Confer-
ence Committee.
Funds Transferred
The House first voted to reduce
the number of four-year scholar-
ships from 23,000 to 10,000 a year,
in line with a recommendation by
President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Then it knocked out the schol-
arship section altogether. The ac-
tion was by a 109-78 standing
vote, on an amendment by Rep.
Walter H. Judd (R-Minn.).
The 140 million dollars which
was to have been used for schol-
arships was transferred to a stu-
dent loan program, boosting that
fund from 315 million to 455 mil-
lion dollars.
Overall Total Cut
In the process of reducing the
number of scholarships to 10,000
the House cut the overall total
cost of the bill from $1,070,000,000
to 910 million dollars.
AT EAST ENGINEERING:
Blast Burns Student, Buckles Wall
An exploding chemistry experi-
ment yesterday burned a Univer-
sity graduate student, buckled a
concrete block wall and blew out
windows in several adjoining lab-
oratories on the third floor of the
East Engineering Building.
The student, Noel DeNevers,
Grad., suffered burns on his face
and hands when the experiment
blew up in his face. University
Hospital officials reported that the
26-year-old engineer is in good
condition.
Officials said DeNevers appar-
ently was heating a gas, perhaps
propylene, up to several hundreds
pounds of pressure while conduct-
ing a heat capacity experiment. He
is working on his doctorate in
chemical and metallurgical engi-
neering.
The accident occurred at 2:50
p.m., drawing four fire engines,
an ambulance and the police.
Also in the laboratory at the
time of the explosion was Yu-
Tang-Hwang, Grad., who escaped
injury.
In the Chemistry Bldg. a half
hour earlier, a chemistry instruc-
tor, Adon Gordus, was treated for
another accident. He inhaled mer-
cury vapors, was treated on the
scene and was not taken to Uni-
versity Hospital.
DeNevers' burns were estimated
to cover about 15 per cent of his
body. The explosion seared off his
hair and left flash burns on his
hands.
Mansfield HitS
Mideast Policy
WASHINGTON (W)-Sen. Mike
Mansfield (D-Mont.), protested
yesterday that United States poli-
cy on the Middle East is largely
based on support of "military dic-
tators, social rot and economic
stagnation."
Mansfield, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, was one of several sena-
tors engaging in a warm policy
debate in the Senate.
One Democrat, Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota, renewed
his suggestion that Secretary of
State Dulles resign.

To Set Own Destinies
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A) --
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjiold put before the opening ses-
sion of the United Nations emer-
gency General Assembly yesterday
a broad plan for insuring peace
and economic stability in the
Middle East.
Hammarskjold called upon the
Arab nations to reaffirm their ad-
herence to pledges of non-aggres-
sion and non-interference in each
other's affairs.
Urges Economic Aid
He also urged UN aid to improve
economic and social conditions
in the Arab countries, but said
the UN should make clear the
Arab states have the right to
shape their own destinies as they
see fit.
The opening Assembly session
lasted only 35 minutes. It ad-
Journed until 10:30 a.m. Wednes-
day for full-scale formal debate.
Before Hammarskjold spoke,
Soviet Ambassador Arkady A. So-
bolev and United States Ambas-
sador Henry Cabot Lodge en-
gaged in a brief, sharp exchange
on purposes of the emergency ses-
sion.
Demands Action
Sobolev demanded immediate
action to get United States troops
out of Lebanon and British troops
out of Jordan, saying "their pres-
ence constitutes a danger to world
peace."
Lodge accused the Soviet Union
of seeking the Assembly session
only to afford an opportunity for
Soviet attacks on the United
States.
In a statement outside the As-
sembly, Lodge welcomed Hammar-
skjold's suggestions as a "con-
structive approach to the prob-
lems of the Middle East." He said
the United States will give them
"most careful and urgent study."
Underscores Concern
Hammarskjold said he was of-
fering suggestions to serve "as a
basis on which members might
wish to develop positive and con-
structive suggestions."

FIGURES FOR JULY:
Unemployment Drops
Fifth Consecutive Time
i WASHINGTON (P) - The government yesterday reported a July
drop in unemployment - to 5,294,000 - but the figures weren't too
comforting, because joblessness normally declines more sharply in
midsummer.
The number of unemployed Americans declined 143,000 from
the June recession peak of 5,437,000, the Commerce and Labor de-
partments said.
Employment increased for the fifth straight month but the
boost in hirings wasn't as big as usual for July. Employment rose
by 198,000 to 65,179,000. Because

WARSAW, Poland - Adlai Stevenson flew in from Moscow yes-

backdown from a United Nations summit meeting.
Stevenson, who spent three weeks touring the Soviet Union, said
a two and one-half hour talk with Nikita Khrushchev left him with
the impression that the Soviet Premier's recent visit to Peiping had
a strong bearing on his switch in tactics.

WASHINGTON - Snrretnrv Af Atrrieni1hnrn TMennn r211.r1 vm-
JOHNSVILLE, Pa. ( ) -- Two
men rode a Navy-built laboratory
space ship traveling 18,000 miles
an hour in an acceleration experi-
ment.
For six seconds, because of ter-
rific pressure, their weight in-
creased 20 times above normal to
more than a ton and a half.
The experiments, it was d--
closed yesterday, were conducted
in a metal ball at the Naial Avia-
tion Medical Acceleration Labora-
tory at the naval air development
center here.
It was the first time a human
ever accelerated over 20 G's. One
G, to scientists, is equal to a per-
son's normal weight.
The centrifuge, whirling in a 50-
foot radius, accelerated to 128
miles an hour in 27 seconds. This
would subject the occupant to the
deceleration forces he would ex-
perience if he were re-entering the
earth's atmosphere inside an ob-
ject which had been in orbit.
A space ship must travel 18,000
miles an hour to remain in orbit
around the earth.
