heaval of foaming sea
The Seawolf came up about
15 miles south of Block Island,
R.I. During its underwater
record cruise she traveled
more than 15,700 nautical
miles.
Still operating on her first
nuclear core, the Seawolf has
traveled more than 65,000
miles to date. The Nautilus
was refueled after 62,565
miles.
Welcome Messaged
As soon as she leveled off,
the deck hatches opened and
Cmdr. Richard B. Laning,
Amherst, Va., its skipper, took
his place on the bridge.
A blinker signal on the
Skylark messaged a welcome
to the 3,260-ton sub, its 11 of
ficers and approximately 89
crewmen who got their first
breath of outer 'air since
leaving New London Aug. 7.
Capt. Laning set a course
for home, where families and
friends, Navy and civic digni
taries waited at State Pier to
give them a rousing greeting
and to whisk them off to a 90
car parade and a reception
afterwards at Mohegan Hotel.
Air Conditioned
During their long time sub
merged, the men lived with
the same air that was aboard
when the sub was sealed and
dived into the waters of the
Atlantic. A constant recondi
tioning of this air made it
possible for the men to be as
comfortable, and work as ef
ficiently as in the open atmo
sphere. The record made today sur
passed the previous one made
by USS Skate last May which
was 31 days five and one-half
hours. -
Conventional type sub
marines have equalled or sur
passed the number hours sub
merged, but they were equip
ped with snorkels which per
mitted them to replenish their
fresh air supply from the out

Tillamook Burn
Search for Lost
Hunter Halted
McMinnville-flJPD-A search
for a Portland hunter, Donald
Shimmer, 20, was called off
temporarily late Sunday in
the rugged Tillamook Burn
country of northwest Yamhill
county, according to the Yam
hill county sheriffs office
here.-
Sheriffs deputies said the
search was discontinued
about 9:30 p.m. after state po
lice, sheriffs posse and the
Norman Wilson bloodhounds
of Dallas, Ore., ran into a
dead end in the craggy open
country. '
Search parties had waited
until sufficient dew was on
the ground Sunday afternoon
so the bloodhounds could
follow the scent. About 6
p.m. they resumed the search
over a wide area.
Track Followed
The bloodhounds followed
the youth's scent for several
miles until they came to a
recent campsite. The dogs
stopped and went around in
circles.
The sheriff's office said the
boy had probably been there
but it was not believed to be
his camp. They said it was
the camp of other hunters.
Shimmer left two compan
ions about 4 a.m. Saturday
and was supposed to return to
the Gobblers Knob area by
8 p.m. but failed to show up.
When he didn't show up, his
companions, Alwood Page
and Dan Zorn; notified au
thorities. Page and Zorn joined po
lice and rescue units in the
search. The Wilson blood
hounds were brought in but
they couldn't work in the
dusty area. They picked up
the trail only when the
ground was moist. "
Shimmer, a dishwasher,
was described as short and
stocky and in good health.
He was carrying a candy
bar and his rifle when he dis
appeared. An air search failed Sun
day, but it may be resumed
later, the sheriffs office reported.
Coos County Gets
New Fish Farm
An experimental natural
"fish farm" for salmon is be
ing constructed on the east
fork of the Millicoma river
in Coos county, it has been
announced jointly by the Ore
gon fish commission and the
Weyerhaeuser Timber com
pany. The project, the third and
largest fin the state's efforts
to supplement and establish
fish runs in coastal streams,
was created when the timber
company recently changed
the original channel in re-l(
eating a private logging road
The 10-acre pond is expect
ed to hold some 500,000 sal
mon fingerlings with supple
mental feeding under natural
conditions. When they are ap
proximately one year old the
fish will be. released from the
pond.
The experiment is designed
to lower current costs of
raising fish in hatcheries by
placing fingerlings in im
pounded waters with a natur
al food supply.
Although the principle of
fish farming is not new, the
experiment in Oregon is de
signed to compare relative
merits of artificial feeding
and raising of migratory fish
in hatcheries.

Fame, Fortune
Hinges on Plan
Los Angeles -(UPD- Debt-ridden
Elmer Meukel, 41, the in
ventor who deserted his home
for a hobo jungle to escape his
creditors was on the threshold
of possible fame and fortune
today."
An electronics firm, Pola
ris Engineering company,
wanted to discuss as soon as
possible Meuker's idea for a
device to prevent in-flight
airplane collisions.
If everything works out,
the self educated inventor
could receive as much as
S35.000 a yeaFin royalties for
his electronics device plus a
salary as consulting engineer
for its development.
Wants Working Prototype
Polaris said that the govern
ment had expressed interest
in spending millions on Meu
kel's concept for preventing
aerial collisions if a working
prototype could be developed.
The lanky, hawk - nosed
'dreamer returned home Sun
day after three months of a
life as a hobo hitchhiking and
hopping freights in a journey
that ended at a hobo jungle
near Reno.
Waiting for Meukel was his
wife, who had taken a job to
hold the family together, and
their three children, Chris
tine, 11; Eric, 6, and James, 3.
"Bills were piling up," he
said in explaining his decision
to leave home last June 23.
"I guess I was in a mental
funk."
Before he left, Meukel had
tried to interest Polaris in his
invention, a device which had
sent him deep into debt to
support his family as he
worked on it.
Recently, executives of the
engineering company contact
ed Mrs. Meukel in hopes of
finding the inventor to devel
op his device. She hadn't
heard from him for weeks.
Meukel was preparing to
hitchhike back'to Los Ange
les and to the modest home
which his family had obtained
after eviction from .their old
one when a reporter found
him.
Arson Suspected
In Portland Fires
Portland-rtlPD-A four-alarm
fire early today caused grow
ing concern among firemen
who said it, too, could be the
work of an arsonist. A Sun
day fire was termed clearly
the work of an incendiarist.
Today's blaze swept through
a vacant building and sparks
from exploding power trans
formers threatened nearby
properties. Seventeen pieces
of fire equipment were called
to the fire.
The block-long building had
been at one time a machine
shop and it contained aome
equipment but had not been
in use. Electric power in the
vicinity was out for some
time as utility poles and
transformers were damaged.
Loss was estimated tentative
ly at about $35,000.
On Sunday the Norene Tire
and Battery company on
Southeast Union ave. was ex
tensively damaged and the
Lincoln Street Baptist church
also in the southeast district
of the city, suffered about
$12,000 damage. That fire,
however, was blamed on an
overheated electric heater.
The Missouri river, longest
in the U. S., travels 2,466
miles from Montana to St.
Louis.
LYING in car, body of Phil
(Wildcat) Kim, ex-top wel
terweight boxer, is found in
Los Angeles parking lot. He
'had four bullets in bis body,.
let it take over the closed
high schools.
"We won't know what we
can do until after the court
hearing," said Ben Isgrig Jr.,
secretary of the corporation,
"but we hope to have the
schools opened this week. It
will be late in the week, how
ever." Contributions Come In
"We are working as hard
as we can to get them going,"
Leon Catlett, attorney for the
corporation, said. "Contribu
tions are coming along fine.
We should get a big bundle
this week."
But neither Catlett nor Is
grig would estimate total con
tributions. Their reason is
that they flow in "to so many
places."
The corporation plans to
take the contributions and set
up classes with retired and
volunteer teachers in office
buildings, rumpus rooms and
churches in Little Rock.
Alternative Plan
- The plan is an alternative
to an earlier plan to lease the
four closed high school build
ings and reopen them as pri
vate, segregated schools, us
ing state funds to pay the tui
tions of students.
This is the sixth week that
more than 3,000 high school
students have not been able
to attend classes. If they stay
closed six more weeks, it will
be past the point of "no re
turn" for the 1958-59 session,
school officials said. ;

EOKA Leader
London - (UPD - Scotland
Yard today ordered its "terror
twins" to fly to Cyprus to
"get" the elusive Colonel
Grivas, leader of the anti
British EOKA terrorist or
ganization. Chief Detective Inspector
Thomas Butler and Detective
Inspector Peter Vibart, two
of the Yard's top detectives,
were sent to Cyprus police to
find Grivas and smash EOKA.
"Both these men have un
paralleled experience in the
art of interrogation," a
spokeman for Scotland Yard
said. "They know when a man
is lying. They know the tricks
which put criminals off their
guard. If they are successful,
it could be that one or more
Yard men might join them.''
The order sending the two
men to Cyprus followed a
plea by Cyprus Governor Sir
Hugh Foot, who blamed
EOKA for the death last week
of a British Army sergeant's
wife the mother of five chil
dren. British Angry
The murder outside a food
market in Famagusta raised
an angry outcry in Britain

geance among British soldiers
