Survey Made of Funds For Trade
The Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce will spend about
S29,077 in the coming year to
attract tourist trade, according to
a survey by the Curtis Publish
ing company.
The survey was made of the
amounts set aside for advertising
and promotion by 248 state, area
and community groups in the
United States. The survey shows
Oregon wil spend more than
S41 9,000 to attract tourists and
$500 to attract industry.
According to the survey the
volume of travel expenditures is
likely to establish new records.
Other Oregon groups in the
survey were Deschutes County
Advertising committee, S4.950;
Oregon Coast association, S34,
000; Pendleton Chamber of Com
merce, $19,777; Visitor's Serv
ice, Portland Chamber of Com
merce, S24.003; and the Salem
Travel Information division,
S308,000. In addition, Pendleton
will spend S500 for industry.
RESCUER DIES
New York (IP) The Rev.
Peter Baptist Duffee, 52, who
was credited with rescuing per
sons from aboard the French
luxury liner Normandie when it
burned at its New York pier in
1942, died of a heart attack
Thursday at the Franciscan Mon
astery here. The Roman Catholic
priest was an outspoken foe of
Communism and declared in the
late 1930s America's real enemy
was the Soviet Union.

Aboard the U.S.S. Nautilu
At this writing, I am aboard the
deadliest weapon afloat, the
boat which has revolutionized
3,000 years of seafaring and was
the first to employ nuclear pow
er. (I do not use 'boat' loosely
all submariners traditionally
call their submarines, boats.)
Her power, I am told, is a core
of uranium, about the size of a
golf ball. It is hidden behind a
massive shield in the heart of
the boat.
This is the second "core" the
first ran the Nautilus for almost
two years for a distance of more
than 62,000 miles, more than
half of this submerged.
The average speed Qf the 320
foot boat, with a beam of 28
fee, has been more than 11 miles
an hour. It is no secret that she
is capable of sustained runs well
e yL
in excess of 20 knots in fact,
my guess is that she may be able
to run submerged and keep up
with some of our fastest naval
vessels afloat. But this is guess
ing. While in the stateroom of the
youthful skipper, Cmdr. William
R. Anderson, he handed me a
paper entitled Naval Nuclear
Propulsion Program written by
Rear Admiral H. G. Rickover in
which the admiral states:
"Actual performance indicates
Nautilus has virtually unlimited
cruising range, even at high
speed. Such a submarine can
cross the Atlantic submerged at
high speed and can even cruise
around the world without re
fueling its reactor. These capa
bilities were highlighted by the
Nautilus' prototype plant at
Arco, Idaho, in 1955, when that
plant steamed at full power for
66 days enough to have car
ried the ship twice around the
world without refueling.
No Direct Sea Routes
With a little bit of arithmetic
that adds up this way twice
around the world is at least 50,
000 miles (and there are no sea
routes this direct). Divide this
by 66 days, and you have an
average speed of 757.6 miles a
day which means the prototype
plant "steamed" at 31.5 miles an
hour! Hypothetical of course,
but ...
Admiral Rickover adds, "If
the Nautilus had been diesel
powered it would have needed
enough, oil to fill a train of tank
cars over a mile long. Also, sev
eral stops for refueling would
have been required."
Captain Anderson told me
that to date the Nautilus' long
est submerged run was from
Panama Canal to San Diego, a
distance of 3,049 miles. By un
derwater navigation, and this
must take unto account ocean
currents, the ship was only 10
miles off its course a matter
easily corrected underwater once
sonar soundings were taken.
Looking at the boat's log, it
was interesting to see how the
Nautilus threaded her submerged
course through densely-islanded
archipelagos such as the West
Indies.
To date the longest submerged
run has been just over 11 days
265 hours.
Many First Racked Up
Needless to say, the boat has
racked up many first since her
first skipper announced from
her bridge this electrifying
phrase, January 17, 1955: "Un
derway on nuclear power."
To be sure, there are many
top-secret performance records,
such as maximum diving depth,
quickness of dive, top-speed, etc.,
but put this way, it can be said:
1. The U.S.S. Nautilus, with
out doubt, has a virtually un
limited cruising range even at
high speed;
2. She can travel in excess of
20 knots for long periods of
time -which conventional sub
marines could do for only a few
minutes;
3. She has made the longest
submerged runs of any vessel
afloat.

Financial District
Sees Three Factors
As Year Hears End
By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York (IP) Wall Street is
beginning to wonder if the
stock market hasn't about dis
counted a lev
elling off in
b u siness next
year.
The str e e t
also is toying
with a thought
that the tax
selling which
usually comes
in Novem b e r
and December
may have been pretty well
taken care of in the recent heavy
selling.
And thirdly, the financial dis-
federal Trust
Funds Losing Out
Washington OP) The gov
ernment's huge trust funds to
pay old age pensions and unem
ployment benefits and build
highways are losing out in
the race with high intrest rates.
With credit scarce, interest rates
have been climbing, and the gov
ernment has had to offer its own
bonds at better terms.
The trust funds, however, have
not been able to take advantage
of these higher returns on the
government's bonds. Even
though they must invest their
money in government bonds, the
trust funds are also restricted to
buying low-interest government
notes.
The Treasury is saving mil
lions of dollars as a result.
Tied up in the various trust
funds are S55 billion in govern
ment securities about one-
fifth of the national debt of $274
billion.
The interest they collect on
their government securities is a
matter of internal government
bookkeeping, not actual cash.
But they are a real cost of gov
ernment all the same, just as
are the interest payments to pri
viate investors in government
bonds.
The government has been pay
ing investors 3.66 per cent on its
short-term 91 day loans and,
since Oct..l, four per cent on its
long-term bonds.
Under federal law, however,
the bonds brought by the trust
funds are tightly restricted.
trict wonders if inflation isn't
likely to become a potent factor
again in 1958 with the govern
ment lifting its spending for de
fense with emphasis on missile
research.
November usually bring as
rising market and December has
always been the year's best for
the bulls.
Reinvestment of Funds
In December of past years the
market has benefited from two
things an end of tax selling
and a reinvestment of funds re
ceived as dividend and interest
payments.
There could be a bit of coid
water thrown on the December
picture this year if the divi
dend payout doesn't come up to
hopes of market operators. Net
a few think there will be fewer
fat dividends than in recent
years.
But, the market men reason,
there's something to the belief
that the worst that could happen
to business, if the seers are cor
rect, has been discounted by the
market. ,
They don't expect a roaring
bull market to develop. But
many hold there could be a
sizable recovery in prices.
Also there still are many who
feel the market will meet further
tests of its recent lows. The
more bullish hold that a test
was made just a few sessions
ago and the market met it
favorably favorably for a re
covery. Some Big Recoveries
Harris, Upham & Co. lists
some big recoveries in previous
bear markets. These have run
to 48 per cent for the period
from Nov. 13, 1929, to April 17,
1930.
From Nov. 24, 1937, to Jan.
11, 1938, there was a rise of
18V1 per cent and from Nov. 22,
1946, to Feb. 8, 1947, the rally
was 13 per cent.
This year from July 12 to Oct.
22, the industrial average fell
by 20 per cent, the firm points
cut. from 520.77 to 419.79.
"Even the longest and se
verest bear markets are punc
tured with substantial recov
eries," the Harris, Upham firm
says. "Over the next four months
a range of from 400 to 460 is
likely which would give good
profit opportunities for alert
traders."
