Thresher may have lost its nuclear power WASHINGTON (VPD The submarine Thresher, which went to the ocean bottom April 10 Willi 129 men aboard, probably lost nuclear power at a crucial mo ment when water was flooding its engine room. The reactor apparently shut down automatically, as nuclear power plants are designed to do in certain emergencies, unaer a "fail-safe" system. Submariners were wondering today whether the power plant, had it continued to operate, would have been able to drive the Thresher to the surface against the great weight of flood ing seawatcr. Presumably no one will ever know. There was no suggestion one way or the other in an offi cial Navy report Thursday on the disaster, the worst ever to befall a submarine. The Navy said the "most nrobable" cause of the tragedy was flooding in the en gine room caused by a piping svstem failure. The Navy expressed full confi dence in its nuclear submarine program and outlined several new saiety measures ucmg taken. In a somewhat similar situation aboard the first nuclear sub, Nautilus, in April, 1059, Cmdr. William R. Anderson had a flood ing engine room but was able to apply full speed and maKe 11 safelv to the surface from a depth of more than 400 feet. Anderson, now a retired cap tain heading President Kennedy s National Service Corps efforts, later told United Press Interna tional that the full speed applied to the Nautilus increased the lift" of its control surfaces enough to overcome the weight of flooding water. The critical part was starting up before llooaing water couia put us in dire straits," he said. Anderson was operating "quite deep" in an anti-submarine exer cise off the Maine coast when a cooling line broke and dumped water into the engine room "a ton every few seconds."

GOT National Commate and the party's state chairmen. Supporters of both Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona for the 1M presidential nomina toa were conspicuously active at this earfv summer Republican gathering ea the fringe of the Rocky Mountains. The national committee was epening a two-day meeting today With a round of talks scheduled to end Saturday with formal se lection of the site for the 1964 national convention. Although the committee named to recommend the city deferred a final vote un til Saturday morning, San Fran cisco was reported to be virtual ly assured of getting the nod over Chicago. The state chairmen, many of them members of the national committee, held an all day closed workshop meeting Thursday to discuss ways of strengthening the party organization for 1984. In privato talks outsido the con ference rooms, Goldwnter back ers were obviously cheered by re cent evidence of an upsurge in support for their conservative hero. Tills spurt has been indi cated by public opinion polls Since Rockefeller's remarriage early last month.

France pulling some of its navy units from NATO PARIS (UPI) France has notified the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) it is pull ing some naval units out of the unified NATO command, an American NATO source said today. The move appeared to be In line with President Charles de Gaulle's policy of Increasing French national autonomy. It camo as a blow to United States efforts to build a tight-knit NATO forco. The source said French naval units guarding the English Chan nel and the Bny of Biscay would be removed from tho unified command. This will not affect French units serving under uni fied NATO command ln the At lantic, however, the source said. Tho forces involved are ro- nortfv! tn Inrhlfln nnn aircraft carrier, six destroyers and 12 de stroyer escorts. Franco already keeps large portions of its army and air force tightly under French control and has rejected President Kennedy's proposal for a multi lateral nu clear striking force. Neither NATO headquarters nor the French defense ministry would comment on the reports, which said the permanent NATO Council would meet soon to dis cuss France's stand. The reports said France's navy would work in cooorBlion with the NATO forces in case of war but would remain under French leadership. The newspaper Is Figaro said today that "it appears clearly that the intention of the chief of state is to keep national control over maritime sectors as well as over the air force of the nuclear deterrent new being built" De Gaulle has insisted on de veloping an independent nuclear capability which eventually will I be installed in French navy ships and air force bombers. This has been viewed as part of his dream for a united Europe under French leadership. fill f ,BBSBSSI5'gar fA !IA Zf W fill is IctSrIP. m i1, I til I fli 1 1 fli 1 I UJ m 'Sfflito : v iVH rJy, Jy LUI 11 mtAMKmmsrsi. -ah Vl VlaPmiPJ: UPRIGHT FREEZER to ' - ft 1.
