Rickover Favored As Czar of Program To Build Space Ships Washington TP) Congress was told Thursday that Adm. Haymann G.

Calif.) unofficially nominated Rickover for the post in a HOW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALS Station KWIN 1400 K.C. Sundays 10:15 A.M. speech demanding that the U.S. act now to gain control of outer space and the area under the oceans. He charged that U.

Asks Major Effort In a speech prepared for delivery to the House, Holi field called for a "major" ef fort to develop a space ship coupled with a stepped-up program to build nuclear sub marines which can fire long range missiles from under water. If this country fails to "con trol and master" both outer space and the underseas, he said, "we will default from world leadership and become a second class power." He said that Rickover, "the driving force" behind develop ment of the world's first nu clear - powered submarine, should be placed in charge of a space ship project compar able to the Manhattan Project which produced the first atomic bomb. "He is the type of man that could produce results," Holi field said. Holifield said the U.S. is "clearly" ahead of Russia in the nuclear submarine field but both the "numbers and quality" of the U. S. subs should be beefed up at once. Washington OP) Deputy Defense Secretary Donald A. Quarles said Thursday the Pentagon is working on "a lot" of "new and imaginative" programs for the space age.
