rife 2A EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, April 21. 1963 Navy Readies Bathyscaphe But Sunken Thresher Must First Be Located WASHINGTON W) The eyes of men and camerai in the bathyscaphe Trieste may porived the only actual evi dence of why the nuclear sub marine Thresher sank in a mile and a half of Atlantic water, carrying 129 persons down with her. Even that is uncertain, de pending on other factors among them the question of whether the wreck will be located. "It is going to be very dif ficult to find the Thresher," Rear Adm. John S. McCain, chief of Navy information and a veteran submariner, laid Friday night He added the search may go on for weeks or months in the effort to locate, by scientific devices, the exact spot more than 8,000 feet down where the remains of the lost submarine rests. And the skipper of the Trieste, Lt. Cmdr. Donald L. Keach, makes plain that un less the wreck can be located first the bathyscaphe can't be used. If the Thresher is lo cated, the bathyscaphe can Governor Has 'No Rockefeller Marriage? NEW YORK W A question of whether Gov. Nelson A. Rock efeller intends to remarry soon was raised Saturday by the divorce of an heiress who once worked on his staff.

Keach was In Washington Friday, stopping en route to Eciton where the Trieste, aboard a dock ship, is due on April 27. He met reporters in a news conference and gave them, through a briefing and pictures, a detailed account of the nature and history of the wierd-looking research ship. Here, in substance, is what his description, pictures and prepared data showed: The Trieste was purchased In 1958 by the Navy from its developers, Dr. Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques, for use by the Office of Naval Research. It was put into operation In December of that year and since then has made scores of dives. In 1960 the Trieste, sub stantially in its present form but using a different gondola, descended to the deepest known part of any ocean to 35,700 feet in the Marianas Comment' ment. He was smiling. Mrs. Murphy's whereabouts was not disclosed. She was divorced In Sun Val ley, Idaho, on April 1 from Dr. James S. Murphy, an associate in virology and medicine at the Rockefeller Institute. The names of Rockefeller, 54, and Mrs. Murphy, 35, mother of four, have been linked by news paper smart-set columnists since soon after he was divorced in March 1962.

Till I pre Trench off the island of Guam. The over-all length of the Trieste is 58 feet, the outside diameter of its hull 11 feet. With the exception of the gondola for the crew and cer tain cameras and other equip ment mounted on the outside structure, all portions of the Trieste are "floodable." This means that as the Trieste de scends, water or ballast fills all space. The pressure thus is equalized. It looks vaguely like a true submarine but with clust ers of piping, wires, sonar transducers, camera housing and lights plus the steel ball of the gondola suspended beneath hanging on the exterior, It is stubby, with none of the sleek lines of a combat submarine. But it can drop down ten of thousands of feet below the maximum depth of a submarine. The Trieste can move about under its own power, but not much nor for very long. The batteries which provide power for three propellers give it as saying: "Ten days after the governor signs all the bills left from the (recently concluded) legislative session, they will marry. It will be a quiet affair and they will honeymoon at his ranch in Venezuela, I hear." Rockefeller was married for 31 yeara to the former Mary Todhunter Clark. They had five children, one of whom, Michael, 23, was lost while hunting for primitive art in Dutch New Guinea. Mrs. Murphy was a volunteer worker for Rockefeller in his successful campaign for the gov ernorship in 1958. She later worked on his Manhattan office staff, resigning May 1961. 34 Tokyo Raiders Hold Ceremony SEATTLE, Wash. to Thir ty-four Tokyo raiders gathered Saturday for solemn, closed- door rites and rejoiced that they had no need to turn more cups upside down. The raiders, some in Air Force blue and some In civvies, were led In their traditional ceremony by Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, doughty leader of the first American bombing attack on Japan In World War II. The ceremony called for a cabinet to be brought in. Inside were 80 engraved silver cups, 24 of them turned upside down. The Inverted cups bore names of men who died in the raid, in subsequent action In World War II, or later. This year no new cups were turned upside dowq.

No power is required for going down or coming up. It is steered by applying power to one or the other of two propellers near the stern. The third propeller is for ward. The Trieste has no cables or other connection with sur face ships. Contact with the surface is through use of an underwater telephone. The gondola is a steel sphere, with an interior dia meter of slightly over six feet. Into it are crammed instru ments and controls and a maximum of three persons, although only two usually are carried. To provide underwater ob servation, the gondola is fitted with a porthole of clear plastic 5V4 inches thick. A system of exterior lights provide 4,500 watts of illumi nation, sufficient for both photography and visual observation.

Whitney Griswold, a lean, dedi cated Yankee who brought a new look at the Yale University campus during his 13 years as president is dead at 56. Griswold, a champion of aca demic freedom, liberal arts, modern architecture and higher pay for teachers, died at his home Friday of cancer. He graduated from Yale in 1929, received his doctorate there in 1933 and taught history at Yale until he was tapped for the presidency in 1950. Griswold was an outspoken critic of the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and once referred to McCarthyism" as "uninform ed vigilance; the watchful eye in the empty head. In 1959 he was a leading op- oonent of the disclaimer affi davit required ot siuoenis wno applied for aid under the na tional defense education act. Voters' Pamphlet Proposal Signed SALEM l Gov. Mark Hat field has signed into law a bill to give candidates a chance to know who their opponents are before buying space in the Voters' Pamphlet for the pri mary election. The deadline for filing candi dacies 70 days before the elec tion remains the same. The deadline for filing ma terial for the Voters' Pamphlet is being extended from the 70th day to the 66th day before election. This means that a candidate now will know if he has opposi tion, and if he hasn't, he doesn't need to buy space. The result probably will be smaller pamphlets. r- rr Governors Adopt Rule To Bar Issues SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. 11 A blackball rule opposed by New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke feller was adopted by the ex ecutive committee of the na tional Governors' Conference Saturday. The change in rules was tail ored to avoid repetition of the 1962 dispute at Ilershey, Fa., when Southern governors talked to death a Rockefeller resolu tion on civil rights. The amendn.ent, subject to approval by the national con ference in Miami Beach, Fla., this July, will require unani mous consent for any resolution at the governor's general ses sion. Gov. Albert D. Rosellini of Washington, executive commit tee chairman, said, in effect, it will prevent any controversial resolution from coming to a vote. "The Governors' Conference is not necessarily for the pur pose of binding other governors to those views of a majority of the conference," he said. "Each governor is indepen dent in his own state and has his own problems. We feel the conference, generally speaking, is more valuable for the ex. change of information." Rosellini said replies to a letter sent to all 50 governors indicated the blackball rule would be accepted at Miami Beach. .A conference staff official said Rockefeller wrote back that there should be an opportunity to vote on questions of major importance. The official para phrased the New York Repub lican as saying "governors should stand up and be count ed." Gov. Mark O. Hatfield of Ore gon, here for the Western Gov ernors Conference beginning Monday, agreed with Rockefel ler. 97-Year-Old Marries TURIN, Italy Ml Authorities report 97-year-old Francesco Sciolotto, former finance police omcer, married his housekeep er, Margherita Martino, 47, at Easter time.

BROADWAY Balloon Breaks Away Project Stargazer Has New Mishap HOLLOMAN AFB. N.M. W Project Stargazer chalked up an other, and perhaps the last, mis hap Saturday. The 3-million-cubicfoot, $53,- 000 balloon was at last poised to lift its 5,300-pound gondola and its two nassengers to the edge of space after a month of delays when it broke loose and fluttered away. Wind and static electricity, officials said, combined to stage the latest heartbreak for proj ect personnel. Tho key figures in the experi ment, Air Force Capt. Joe Kit tinger and astronomer William White, had been sealed in the gondola with its mass of scien tific equipment. The purpose of the trip, the second of its kind, was to get an unobstructed look at the stars from above the distorting atmosphere. Other objects were to determine at what altitude the stars lose their twinkle, what part turbulence plays in distortion, and how much infra red radiation is soaked up by water vapor. While the parachute was being attached, the wind, which had caused one delay after another, 102-Year-Old Woman Dies Funeral services for a 102- year-old Douglas County wom an who lived for the past seven months in Eugene will be held in Roseburg Tuesday.

Col. Charles Harris, public in formation officers at Holloman, said the movement created stat ic electricity which triggered a mechanism.

Harris said, the balloon floated east and finally came down miles east of Holloman and 20 miles west of Roswell, N.M., near U.S. Highway 70-380.
