highest in the examinations. The
examinations give every citizen

907.000. During World War II
it rose to a top of 3,786.600.
After World War II it drooped

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.

CORPORATION
Leak in Superheating System of
Submarine
Washington (U.R) The ;Navy
is wrestling with the problem
of what to do with an atomic
submarine that won't run with
out' leaking.
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

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.
