Area Firm Named In Damage Suits Harry R. Morris, doing busi ness as the Oak st. Tank and Steel company, Oak and A sts., Ashland, has been named de fendant in two separate com plaints filed in circuit court this week. The plaintiffs are seeking a total-of $3,063.54. The complaints resulted from a fire allegedly started by the firm on July 1. 1955. Plaintiff in one suit is Great American Insurance company. The other suit was filed bv Margaret C. Whittle and the U. S. Sire In surance company. Great American Insurance company charges the defendant with "carelessly and negligent ly" starting a trash fire on the plant premises. Oak and A sts., in Ashland, at 4:45 p.m., July 1, 1955. The company further charges the defendant with fail ing to watch and tend the fire and disregarding dry conditions and low humidity when starting the blaze. The plaintiff states the fire spread to a warehouse owned by a client of the company, White Fir Lumber company, 258 A St., Ashland, and destroyed a variety of building supplies with in, the warehouse. The company is seekine S4.563.54 damaees. Mrs. Whittle and the U. S. pjre insurance company listed the same charges of negligence in connection with the fire, which they claim destroyed a 30 by 94 foot frame warehouse at 237 A st., Ashland, owned by Mrs. Whittle. They are seeking $3,500. Representing plaintiffs in both cases is Stanley C. Jones.

The examinations give every citizen an opoortunity to compete for federal employment. Highest Total Prior to 1939 the highest total government employment was 907.000. During World War II it rose to a top of 3,786.600. After World War II it drooped just below 2.000.000, rising again during the Korean emer gency to over 2.600.000. On Oct. 31. 1956. there were about 2, 410.000 emoloyees. During the week the Civil Aeronautics administration com bined station-tower at the Med ford airnort is open to visitors.

S tudeb aker -Packard President Renews Promise of Buying Strategic Metals Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower renewed an admin istration promise today that a long range purchase program for strategic metals and miner als will be presented to Con gress. The President noted in his budget message that the stock piling program of past years is "nearing completion." He said Interior Secretary Fred A. Seat on is preparing the new pro gram. Seaton, himself, said at the time he was sworn in that he would have such a program worked out. "In the meantime," the Presi dent said, "a program author ized in the past session of Con gress will provide S91 million of assistance to segments of the mining industry in adjusting from defense needs to normal marketing conditions. To Support Exploration "The Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines will also continue their activities in sup port of exploration for new de posits, development of improv ed mining techniques, and effec tive utilization of mineral re sources." The program authorized by the last Congress called for pur chases of tungsten, asbestos, fluorspar and colombium tan talum and would expire under present law in December, 1958. The $91 million for the pro gram would be made up of 21 million already appropriated, an additional $40 million proposed in the budget for fiscal 1958, and a further $30 million the budget indicated would be re quested later. Austria Saturated By Hungary Refugees Vienna XU.R) Austria said to day it has reached "its very lim its" in coping with the problem of Hungarian refugees, and re fuses to accept any returnees who have moved to other coun tries. . Minister of Interior Oscar Hel mer told the Council of Minis ters Tuesday that the country had spent $7,150,000 for Hunga rian refugees during the month of November, and that expendi tures for December still unde termined were much higher. He said Austria spent $2 million for refugee accommodations alone. stots with Studebajkerj-Packarlls air-cooled j I j of Oie car that is different.

At this point, the Navy is utv decided whether to plug up the leaks or get a new nuclear en gine for the atomic submarine Seawolf. The leaks are in the Seawolf's reactor cooling sys tem. If the leaks are plugged up. the Seawolf will never run at peak efficiency. If a new atomic reactor is ordered, there will be months of delay and millions of dollars additional cost before the Seawolf can put to sea. The seemingly ill-fated Sea wolf has been sitting at a Gro ton, Conn., dock of the Electric Boat Division of General Dy namics Corp. for weeks while the Navy tried to figure out what to do with the 3,260-ton submersible. It originally had scheduled to put to sea weeks ago as the Navy's second atomic powered submarine. The leaks developed last sum mer when the reactor was turn ed .on for the first dockside tests. The leaks were not in the reactor proper but in the super hearting system which is used to heat up the steam and there by give greater power to the turbines. The difficulties in the super heating system have set the Sea wolf schedule back my months. It jinow seems probable that it will be weeks before dockside testing of the reactor will be re sumed, and it is possible that the Seawolf will never put to sea with her present power plant. While no final decision has been made, it seems likely that the Navy will decide to seal off the superheater part of the nuclear power plant. This would have the effect of lowering the power output of the reactor by about 20 per cent, but would permit the Navy to run the reac tor for test purposes. ' After the- tests had been com pleted, the Navy could then re place the reactor, with one of Installation of Water Main Started Monday City crews Monday started installing a six-inch water main on . South Grape st. from Mon roe to 13th sts., according to Robert Lee, water superinten dent. Purpose of the main is to pro vide additional fire protection to the area and local service for property abutting on the main Lee said. The project will be completed in about 10 days. exlra stops at by his wife Seawolf Poses Problem the type used in the first atomic submarine, the Nautilus. In this way, the Navy could salvage an expensive hull and make the Seawolf into a useful weapon. Nautilus Successful For the "guinea pigs" of its atomic fleet of the future, the Navy decided to try out two fundamentally different typg re actors in its first two atomic powered craft. The Nautilus re actor uses pressurized water as a coolant to transfer heat pro duced by the reactor into steam to drive the turbines. The Sea wolf reactor uses liquid sodium as a coolant. Sodium is a highly corrosive element, a factor which led to the leaks in the superheater. The Nautilus reactor has per formed better than the Navy's fondest expectations. After cruis ing over 50,000 miles in two years, the Nautilus is about to be refueled for the first time.
