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

show what happened as she
plunged deep down after be
ginning a test dive.
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

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.

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.

Yale President
Dies of Cancer
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Lfi A.
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

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.

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

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,
