Psalms U.S. Navy Blimp Sets Arctic Record, Too Washington (UPD A U.S. Navy blimp was on its way to a floating island less than 500 miles from the North Pole yesterday after penetrating deeper into the Arctic than any non-rigid aircraft ever had before. The orange-and-silver blimp landed Friday at Resolute bay land, within the Arctic circle. It had soared 1,000 miles in 22 hours with the help of a 10-mile-an-hour tail wind.

Explorer Soft-Pedals Submarine's Feat Hanover, N.H. (UPD Arc tic Explorer Viljjalmur Stef- ansson says the Arctic ice cap voyage of the atomic subma rine Nautilus could have been done "a long time ago in a conventional submarine." Stefansson, now 79 and founder of the world's largest polar library at Dartmouth college, said the Navy want ed, however, the dependabil ity of atomic power and "needed a practical reason" for the trip. "We Americans," he added, "are very conservative-minded people. We are not ice- minded." He said the next job is for the Navy to find some way to surface between the two points of the trip within 1,000 missile miles of Russia instead of 5,000 miles. Biggest Sub Ever Constructed is Due for Launching Groton, Conn. (UPD The biggest submarine ever built, the atomic-powered USS Tri ton, will be launched here Aug. 19 within a stone's throw of .the ways from which the USS Nautilus slid into the Thames river in January, 1954. She will be the eighth nu clear submarine launched by this country. Eleven more are under construction and seven more are authorized. Compared to the 319-foot, 3,200-ten Nautilus, the Triton will be 447 feet long, with a displacement of 5,900 tons. It will be the first submarine with two nuclear reactors. They will be water-cooled, the same type which propels the Nautilus and USS Skate, but of more modern design. Triton, which must go off the ways with part of its su perstructure incomplete be cause of its enormous size, it a radar-picket sub which will serve as a "private eye" for the U. S. surface and under sea fleet. She was built by the Elec tric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corp., which con structed the only three A boats now in operation. On two other ways adjacent to where the Triton now is perched are hulls of Polaris missile submarines which will be capable of hurling lethal shots with a 1,500-mile range. At another section of the Electric Boat shipyard work men are constructing still an other A-boat, the USS Tulli bee which is designed as a killer submarine to track down and destroy enemy submarines. The Triton, when she is out fitted and after ' completing sea trials, will join the coun try's First Atomic Submarine division which was created here this past June. It is com manded by Capt. Eugene P. Wilkinson, the first skipper of the Nautilus. Now operating in this divi sion are Nautilus, Seawold and Skite. The revolutionary aquabatic Skipjack, launched May 26, will be a part of the division when it finishes sea trials and is accepted. So will the Tullibee and the two Po laris missile boats, which should be in the water some time next year. Voyage of Nautilus Compared to Sputniks London (UPD The Daily Telegraph said yesterday the Nautilus's voyage under the North Pole was technological ly on a par with Russia's Sput niks and in terms of human dating, a greater achieve ment. "No sailor will doubt that the feat of the Nautilus is the American answer to the So viet Sputnik," the Telegraph said. "Not only in technical achievement , and in promise of development are the two comparable; as an act of dar ing courage and personal achievement, the feat of the submarine crew is the greater." D. D.
