U. S. Submarine Lost In Arctic The snorkel-equipped U. S.
submarine Cochino, shown at her launching in Groton, Conn.,
in April, 1945, was lost August 26 while on a training cruise
in Arctic waters. An explosion in the battery room and fire
destroyed the vessel, the navy department announced. An
nouncement said that seven persons lost their lives in the
accident. (AP Wirephoto)
rS4 of Crew Rescued
From Blasted Submarine
Himmcrieit, Norway, Aug. 27 WVThe rescue of 84 men
from the explosion-riven U. S. submarine Cochino was hailed
by veteran Norwegian sailors today as a masterful feat of sea
manship. Most of the 8,000 citizens of this North Cape Town, seafarers
among them, turned 1 out .in rain
and wind towelcom the sur
vivors and the men of the sub
marine Tusk, who saved them
from death when the Cochino
went down yesterday in rough
Arctic Seas.
Seven men were lost. These
were a civilian technician aboard
the Cochino and six of the
Tusk's complement.
Norwegian sailors know the
power of those winds and wa
ters. They praised Cmdr. Robert L.
R. Worthington of Oakmount,
Pa., ' skipper of the Tusk, ' for
his skill in maneuvering that
craft alongside when a second
blast aboard the Cochino made
it evident she was doomed. They
talked too of the handling of
the rubber boats, dispatched one
by one from the Tusk in the
heavy seas and darkness with
medical supplies at the first sign
of the Cochino's distress.
Despite the danger of buckled
plates, informed source said
Worthington moved in close
enough for the Cochino's men to
lump to the Tusk's narrow deck.
Minutes later, the Cochino went
J down.
Col. Kal Rasmussen, U. S.
'military attache in Norway, said
,the two explosions on the Co
' 'chino occurred 10 minutes apart.
They were believed to be in the
'battery room.
The two submarines, together
.-with the Toro and Corsair were
on cold-water training maneu
' vers off Norway, an American
'ally under the North Atlaitnc
i 'I pact. The Cochino was one of
the United States newest su
.". per-submarines. She was equip
ped with the snorkel breathing
: device which enabled her to stay
under water for long periods
The Tusk's six men who were
lost were washed from a rubber
boat.
Five of the survivors suffer
.ed burns.
... The Tusk rushed them to Ham-
"merfast, which lies 250 miles
from the Russian port of Mur-
mansk, for medical attention.
A11 but one were released from
the hospital after examination.
, His condition was described to
day as "considerably better." .

Letters About Jupiter Cover
Desk of Oregon Astronomer
By J. HUGH PRUETT
During my 20 years of dealing
eral public, I am sure I have never before received so many
calls concerning the brilliant object in the southeastern twilght
as have come my way the past
Although most consider this
want to know what it is, there
have been a few expressions of
genuine alarm. One viewed it
through thin, windblown clouds
and was puzzled by the rapid
fading and flaring of the cur
ious light. Another said she
wondered if it was "something
coming to get us."
This is none other than our
ancient friend, the planet Jupi
ter. Because it requires 12 years
to encircle the sun, it seems to
move about 30 degrees eastward
among the distant "fixed" stars
annually. This revolution makes
its first appearance in the east
ern evening sky occur approxi
mately a month later each suc
ceeding year. And since it fol
lows close to the sky-path known
as 'the ecliptic, it is some years
yow in the south even when at
its highest nightly altitude and
six years later, very high.
This follows the general course
the sun takes during our year-
high and above the horizon
long hours in the summer and
low in the winter but since
Jupiter's year is nearly 12 of
ours, it takes 12 years for it to
make "the rounds." It is in its
"winter position" low in the
south this year.
An hour after sunset Jupiter
is now glowing steadily and
brilliantly considerably east of
due south. It seemingly moves
westward and sets in the south-
In September 1912, thirty-seven years ago a green Switzer, Hans "Curly" Hofstetter came to
Salem, on borrowed money, and started delivering milk for Schindler Brothers. Milk, at that
time, sold for $2.50 per month for a quart delivered daily. The driver received $40 per month,
with room and board, for working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Without vacations, holidays or days off. The farmer received about $2.25 per hundred for his
milk irrespective of the butterfat content. Milk is and always has been the best food buy, for

Public Power
Policy Upheld
Washington, Aug. 27 m Un
dersecretary of the Interior Os
car L. Chapman said today the
interior department money bill
passed by the senate this week
"is the finest appropriation bill
we have ever had."
The $668,000,000 measure is
$96,000,000 bigger than the one
approved by the house. A con
ference committee must iron out
the differences now.
Chapman told a reporter:
"The senate bill provides the
finest opportunity we have ever
had to carry forward the devel
opment of the west.
"It reaffirms completely our
public power policy, and our
right to build transmission lines.
"Its significance is far greater
than most people realize."
The senate rejected a series of
proposals by its own appropria
tions committee which would
have denied funds for construc
tion of power transmission lines
by the government.

The air force, while not bring

aircraft has been arranged with
their arrival time approximate
ly 2 p. m. (daylight time). These
planes are to be from the Air

at Portland.
September 6 "fly-bys" of two
F-48 "Thunderjet" aircraft have
been arranged. The two aircraft,
which are from the 78th Fighter

equatorial diameter of almost
89,000 miles, 11 times that of
our earth. It is attended by 11
known moons, four of which are
so large that even opera glasses
will show some of them nestling

a mean distance from the sun of
5.2 times that of the earth's.

known that its atmosphere con

and probably considerable free

of the surface under the clouds.

BURROUGHS .VISITS
Author of Tarzan Claims
Character to Outlive Him
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood, Aug. 27 W) Edgar
nothing ever can kill Tarzan.
Burroughs is 76 and a shut-in, crippled by heart attacks. But
he said the jungle Lord he created 35 years ago to feed his fam
ilv will live forever. ..
Like millions of small boys,
the invalid father of Tarzan gets
his greatest pleasure in life from
seeing the ape-man still swing
ing through the jungle.
"I enjoy the movies," he said.
"They've done very well by
Tarzan. But I wish they'd make
some 'about my books, though."
Producers tossed Burroughs'
own stories of Tarzan in the
discard after the first few mov
ies. Now he just contributes the
name to someone else's stories
and collects in return $175,000
per picture plus a percentage of
the profits. He also collects on
the Tarzan books, comic strip,
T-shirts and toys-..
"I'm 'mostly interested in the
box office," he said.
Burroughs seldom leaves his
Tarzana, Calif., home now. He
made his first trip to Hollywood
in many years on Tarzan's 35th
birthday when he visited the
Sol Lesser studio and watched
them make the latest movie,
"Tarzan and the Slave girl."
He was "very excited" about
the visit, his daughter said. He
got up at 7:30 a.m. to get ready.
"f don't like the movie busi
ness." he said. "Too tedious.
"But the screen writers got a
lot of ideas I wish I'd thought
of," he chuckled, watching the
starlets in chiffon harem pants
"I think I'll, move my wheel
chair down to the set."
Long after he's gone, Bur
roughs figures, his 40 books still
will be selling around the world
and movie writers will be bat
tline-out Tarzan adventures.
"A new group of fans comes
of age every year, he said
"The kind of adventures Tarzan
has are timeless."
The Tarzan of the movies talks
mostly in grunts, which is sup
posed to be good boxoffice. But
the jungle lord Burroughs wrote
about was an English aristocrat
who addressed the monkeys in
Oxford accents.
"He told me I came nearest to
his idea of Tarzan," the current
ape-man, Lex Barger said. Bar
ker is an aristocrat from Prince

Citizenship
Restored Japs
San Francisco, Aug. 27 (JP)
Assailing the army's wartime
western defense command for a
"nazi-like doctrine," the Ninth
U. S. circuit court of appeals
has affirmed restoration of citi
zenship to three Japanese-Americans.
The opinion yesterday sharp
ly, condemned the wartime exclu
sion from the west coast of per
sons of Japanese blood. It said
Lt. Gen. John L. De Witt, war
time chief of the western defense
command, held to a "nazi-like
doctrine of inherited racial en
mity." The appellate court agreed
with the Los Angeles district
court that the three Japanese
had renounced citizenship "not
as a result of their free and in
telligent choice, but rather be
cause of mental fear, intimida
tion and coercions, depriving
them of the free exercise of their
will."
The three who regained their
citizenship were Mrs. Miye Mae
Murakami, now of Torrence:
Mrs. Tsutake Sumi, West Los
Angeles, and Irs. M""m Shi
mizu, now of P.oscoe. They, and
thousands of others, renounced
their citizenship after being
ousted from coastal areas and
placed in camps which, the cir
cuit court said, were "in impor
tant respects worse than any fed
eral penitentiary."
The court took note that the
government is contesting some
4000 similar cases of deportees
who are seeking identical relief.
