Polaris Missile Sub Launched; Potential Great Groton, Conn. (UPD The nation's first Polaris missile submarine, the George Wash ington, was launched Tuesday. President Eisenhowe said it . "will add greatly to our abil ity to preserve the peace." The destructive potential of the new submarine is so great that the President, in a message read to Treasury Sec retary Robert G. Anderson, said "it is my prayerful hope that this ship will bt always ready but never used." The treasury crttry'i wife christened tht 380-foot, 5,400-ton sub, which will be able to launch its rockets, while submerged, against any enemy military installation from any ocean in the world. 14 Months To Build The launching constituted a record for nuclear powered submarines. The George Wash- infton, built by the Electric Boat Division of General Dy namics Corp., 'hit the water 14 months after design speci fications were approvd by the Navy. Wilfred J. McNeil, assistant secretary of defense who de livered the principal address, said the sub, "with its Polaris missile, is the first naval wea pon system to be specifically designed for strategic employ ment against land targets and adds an entirely new dimen sion to our naval power , Knowing the tremendous de structive potential of the le thal cargoes that will be car ried by these submarines, no attacker could hope to escape retribution, even given the ad vantage of striking the first blow." The 10th nuclear submarine to be launched in five years, the George Washington will be skippered by Cmdr. James B. Osborn, Stockton, Mo., 41, veteran of six World War n patrols and a missile expert. 20 Groups Added To Compensation Salem - Employers in over 20 occupational groups newly . subject to the Oregon Work in e n ' s Compensation Law must be registered with the Industrial Accident Commis- j sion before July 1, the agency warned today.

Wayna L. Mors has bean widely criticized for tha stand ha has t a k a n regarding iha confirmation of Clara Booth Luce as Ambassador to Bra zil and Admiral Lewis Strauss as Secretary of Commerce. In a recent let ter to constituents, tha sena tor presented his version of the "battle of iha nomina tions." It follows.) By SEN. WAYNE L. MORSE U.S. Senator from Oregon Under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, the Presi dent is empowered to make appointments to high federal offices, including ambassador ships, "with the advice and consent of the Senate." Thus, the Senate shares the executive function of making appointments. Under the Con stitution, we are compelled to share with the President the responsibility for the quality of people put in these posi tions, and the kind of job they do. If such a person turns out badly for the nation, it is as much the fault of the Senate tor approving him, or, her, as it was the fault of the Presi dent for making the nomina tion. During my service in the Senate, I have applied the four criteria for judging nom inations that have developed in the Senate in nearly 170 years of considering nomina tions. They are: 1) whether the person being considered is of sound mind, morality, and character; 2) whether the in dividual is loyal to our form of government; 3) whether the person is free from any conflict of private or person al interest with the job to be performed, and 4) whether he is competent to perform the duties of the office in the pub lic interest. The Luce Nomination When the nomination of Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce to be ambassador to Brazil came be fore the Senate, it was clear to me, as Chairman of the Latin American Affairs sub committee of the Senate, that the 'post called for a career diplomat, not a political pat ronage appointee. As chair man of this subcommittee, I received much knowledge and information - about Brazil as well as other countries south of the border. I became" con vinced that the appointment would be a major blunder in Latin-American relations. Although much of the press in Oregon distorted and mis represented my reasons for opposing her, and ignored my documentation of my charges of her incompetence, my hea vy mail from all over the U.S. and from foreign countries, including Brazil and Italy, was overwhelmingly in sup port of my position. It was claimed by. the administra tion that Mrs. Luce would be welcome in Brazil; but my mail from many substantial, highly educated citizens there, including many in the business world, commended man injured, he may be liable to reimburse the Industrial Accident Fund for the cost of the claim.

The result was that the President finally appointed a very good career diplomat, Mr. John Cabot, for this very important ambassadorial post. Although he should have done so in the first place, the Presi dent is to be commended for his final decision. It will strengthen - our standing throughout Latin America. I documented each of my charges against the nomina tion of Mrs. Luce and now, as more people are studying the Senate debate, I find more and more approval of the un pleasant duty which I , per formed. I have the satisfaction of knowing that I did not walk out on my responsibility and trust under the advice and consent clause. The Strauss Nomination , Neither shall I do so when the nomination of Lewis Strauss to be Secretary of Commerce comes before the Senate. From the record made in the hearings on his nomi nation, I am convinced that he is unqualified to be Secre tary of Commerce. During the long hearings in the Senate Interstate Com merce Committee, many ex amples were brought out and Am ci u ' I PLANNING EARLY MARRIAGE, according to friends, actress Rhonda Fleming and Felix Fostel, 'millionaire Swiss whom she met at Cannes Film Festival, hold hands at her Hollywood home.

On point after point, the documentation was made of his evasiveness. He denied ev er having seen, for example, a letter from the Attorney General giving a legal opinion on a proposed agreement with Great Britain for exchange of information on uses of atomic energy. Yet it had been in his office for 5V& months, he had presided over a meeting of the Commission at which the opinion had been discuss ed, and he had signed the let ter transmitting the opinion to the Congressional Commit tee on Atomic Energy. Again, he tried to blame a House Committee for "mis quoting" him, when the notes of the official reporter show ed that he had been quoted exactly. He continued to defend and advocate the infamous Dixon Yates contract, even after it had been set aside as having been negotiated under a conflict-of-interest by a consult ant for the Budget Bureau who turned out to be an exec utive of the Dixon-Yates fi nancial house.

The stereotypers set up picket lines early today after morning editions of the Globe Democrat had been printed. The afternoon Post-Dispatch was not expected to publish. The walkout hit the Globe Democrat only 10 days after it had settled a three-month strike by members of the St. Louis Newspaper Guild.
