today after a second atomic sub

The U. S. 8. Skate reached the
pole at 8:47 p.m. EST Monday
just six days after its older sis

an historic 1,830-mile trip across
the polar cap. The Nautilus ar

The Navy released word of the

last Friday to announce the Nau

night said the Skate surfaced in
an ice field some 40 miles from

House Vote Cites -Bernard
Goldfine
WASHINGTON (AP) The
House voted Wednesday to cite
Bernard Goldfine, Boston million
aire friend of Sherman Adams.
for contcn-.pt of Congress.
' The action sends the matter to
the U.S. District attorney who can
sunmit it to a grand jury.
If convicted of contempt. Gold
fine could be fined $1,000 and im
prisoned for a year.
Since he was cited for refusing
to answer 22 questions from an in
vestigating subcommittee, some
members suggested in the debate
that theoretically such a penalty
could 'be imposed for each ques
tion, on conviction.
That is a question, however, that
the courts have not finally set
tled. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark)
of the investigating subcommittee
demanded the action against
Goldfine, who had contended that
the questions were not pertinent
and concerned internal affairs of
his business.
Harris asked:
"Is the Congress coins' to let an
individual, who obviously has been
getting by with illegal acts in or
ganizations with minority stock
holders, say to Congress: "I'm go

President Eisenhower Wednes- '
day set forth a sweeping six-point
plan for building enduring Mid

ation of an emergency U.N. po
lice force and an international
economic development program.
in a oramauc personal appear
ance before a tense extraordinary
mteting of the United Nations
General Assembly, the President
at the same time accused Russia
without naming the Soviet Un
ion ot stirring up war hysteria
with tactics of "ballistic black- '
man."
Eisenhower laid down his nrn.
posals for peace and economic '
stability in a major foreign pol
icy speech carried coast-to-coast '
on television and radio, and -beamed

Renaissance
He said his program would pro
mote "a true Arab renaissance."
The alternative, he asserted, is:
"The danger that nations under
aggressive leadership will seek to
exploit man's horror of war by
confronting the nations, "articular-
ly small nations) with an apparent
cnoice oeiween supine surrender,
or war."
Again without naming Moscow,
Eisenhower compared the Krem

cries "fire" in a crowded as,sem- '

A standby United Nations peace
force.
