THURSDAY. JUNE 23, 1SI 8 B. MEDFORD MAIL T1IBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Congress Ponders Oceanographic Research Program By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Congress is close to enactment of a bill bv Sen. Warren G. Magnuson MV T (U-wasn.) au- W i thorizlng a 10 1 ? s year program ,VMvrl I "to unveil the A Rhl bmilb military and secrets of in ner space-the oceans." It calls for an o c e a n o- g r a p hie re search pro gram for both economic pur poses, including these pro visions: 1. Construction of advanced marine research ships and laboratories. 2. Training of sufficient ma rine scientists to execute the program. 3. International exchange of oceanographic data. The Senate Commerce Com mittee, in approving the bill, observed that oceanic knowl edge is little more than two dimensional, covering winds, waves, currents, reefs and shoals and fisheries just below the surface. "Today knowledge of the oceans must be three dimen sional, extending from the surface to the bottom, and to the crust below the surface," its report slated. Russian Program Testifying about the danger of underwater attack from missile-subs, Sumner Pike, ex member of the Atomic Energy Commission, de clared: "Another nation caught us practically unawares upstairs; for heaven's sake don't let the same thing happen to us down cellar." The committee noted that "Soviet Russia, which has more submarines than all the nations of the free world com bined, is conducting an un precedented ocean research program, one that surpasses that of the entire free world." "The world's greatest moun tain ranges and deepest can yons lie hidden in the oceans," the committee noted, support ing its proposal for complete charting of these little-known contours. The report predicted under water commercial commerce at speeds twice that of present surface ships, taking advant age of underwater currents just as high altitude' planes pick up .speed in the- Jet stream. Underwater devices located on sea mounts would substitute for lighthouses. To chart the seas the bill Authorizes construction of 10 survey ships during the next 10 years for the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Other economic benefits in clude increasing productivity of fisheries, underwater min ing for liquid fuels and me tallic minerals, and research into the interchange of energy between the oceans and the atmosphere which causes weather disturbances. Fish Harvest Increased The committee reported that Russia and Red China are stepping up their harvest of fish. Russia is employing 100 fishery research ships ex ploring oceans from the Ber ing Sea to the Grand Banks off Newfoundland to the coast of Africa. "Meanwhile, the United States has steadily declined, our fisheries research fleet and its activities have dimin ished, and we are in grave danger of losing an industry that produces food in the value of a billion and a half dollars annually and gives employn.ent to 500,000 citi zens," the report said. Testimony was received that "the oceanic waters con tain more minerals than have been mined by man in all his tory. Vast deposits of man ganese, cobalt, copper, iron and nickel nodules lie on the deep ocean floor . . . and techniques will be developed which will enable them to be mined commercially within 5 to 6 years." The Elsenhower Adminis tration says the program Is unnecessary because the gov ernment this year will In crease its oceanographic re search program from $38 to $56 million. But Congress is expected to give it a nudge anyway, Herter Favors Cuba Sugar Import Cut Washington (UPD Secretary of Stale Christian A. Herter told Congress Wednesday the time has come to cut down on marketing of Cuban sugar In the United States, a move that would be a stiff economic blow to Premier Fidel Castro. Without mentioning public attacks on this country by Castro and other Cuban offi cials, Herlcr told the House agriculture committee this Is "an appropriate time" , to re duce the dependence of Amer ican consumers on Cuban sugar. . I Herter noted that Cuba's sugar production is expected J to drop while the Castro gov-1 ernment has made sugar sales agreements with the Soviet Union and other Communist 1 nations. j 1835-1960 125 years of Brmrhon Greatness TASTE THE GREATNESS of historic OLD CROW Born 125 years ago! 1 M 7.f 'dp, (OLD CROW $5o rt. 5qt. hi Light' Mi.V-86 Proof KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY OLD CROW PJITILURY CO., FRANMuHT.Ki., Dljri1.
