Rickover Favored As Czar of Program To Build Space Ships
Washington TP) Congress
was told Thursday that Adm.
Haymann G. Rickover, "fa
ther" of the atomic submarine
should be named czar of a
crash program to develop a
space ship.
Rep. Chet Holifield (D.
Calif.) unofficially nominated
Rickover for the post in a

speech demanding that the
U.S. act now to gain control
of outer space and the area
under the oceans.
He charged that U. S. policy
now is one of "follow the
leader" and that the Defense
Department has "no new and
imaginative program. . .too
much complacency . . a stand
pat philosophy."
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.
"We are going into the
space age.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
PT&T Employees Attend Classes
Sixty Pacific Telephone
employees from Medford and
Ashland attended a day-long
class last week at Medford
dealing with the philosophy
of defensive driving.
The instruction is being
given over a four-day period
by Harold Wheeler, chief line
assigner for the company
from Eugene.
Started as an expansion of
the company's safe driving
program, the training will be
given 2,200 Pacific Telephone
employees in Oregon.
According to Manager Jack
Creager, 10 instructors are
engaged in teaching the
course which covers driver
attitudes and the psychology
of the motor vehicle driver.
Developed by safety ex
perts of the telephone com
pany's plant department in
Oregon, the course is based
on evidence that 95 per cent
of all motor vehicle accidents
are caused primarily by the
improper attitude of drivers.
