Two government communiques broadcast Wednesday night by the nationwide government radio not work denounced rumor mongers and asserted "the nation is tran quil."

Seawolf Races Down Ways as Work on 3rd Such Ship Started - GROTOW Conn. ifl The Na vy's second atomic submarine the long, lean deadly killer named Seawolf went down the ways to: the sea ihursday. Mrs. Sterling Cole, wife of a New York congressman, chris tened the ship, but missed hitting the bow with the traditional bot tle of champagne. Mrs. Cole turned for an instant to speak to John Jay Hopkins, president and chairman of Gen eral Dynamics Co., as he pressed a button releasing the great steel hull. In that instant, the Seawolf flip ped swiftly out of reach of Mrs. Cole's arm. She hurled the bottle at the receding bow, but it missed again and broke in foam on a portion of the launching ma chinery. But the Navy, always ready for such untoward happenings, had a second bottle of champagne, at tached to a line, on the deck. As the Seawolf raced down the ways, a man aboard the submarine cracked a second bottle on the bow. And so the Seawolf got her chris tening, after all. Three hours earleri, the keel cf a third atomic submarine, as yet unnamed, was laid in a ceremony attended by a relatively few offi cials. The fact was unknown to most of the audience of 25.000 attending the launching. Their first word came when Navy Secretary Thom as interpolated into his prepared speech the brief remark that "the keel' of a third (submarine) was laid at an earlier hour this morn ing on an adjacent way, without pomp or ceremony."

Privately. , experts see no evi dence jn the positions so far taken by Soviet Premier Bulganin that (lie Kremlin intends to yield on any important point. But in postwar negotiations over the last 10 years, Soviet delegates have occasionally sprung last-minute surprises. There may be a chance this practice will be re peated this time. President Eisenhower and Sec retary of State Dulles are reported fully aware of this possibility, a'ong with other Western author ities here. The evidence is. however, that BuWamn and his associates ha e been trying in one of their own words to "normalize" relations with the West.
