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."

tests off Cape Cod, must have

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.
