LEWIS United Press International Washington - IUPII - The nu clear submarine Seadragon surfaced at the North Pole late Thursday night and promptly sent a hardy group to play the first baseball game on an ice floe at the top of the world. Cmdr. George P. Steele II reported the sub "maneuvered through ice" to where mem bers of his crew rode rafts across 15 feet of "pretty rough" and partly frozen wa ter to reach the polar ball park. Long Way to First The baseball diamond was laid out so that a home run would travel "from today into tomorrow and frome one side of the world to the other," he said, while a batter would reach first base "12 hours later," as time is counted in the United States. Distance and time have a different meaning at the pole. where the 360 degrees of longitude, the time zones and the international dateline all converse. "The weather is fine and the sky is clear," with both the air and water temperatures at 28 degrees Fahrenheit, Steele reported Thursday over a Navy radio-telephone hookup. The Seadragon's officers and chiefs teamed up against younger members of the crew for the game. Frogmen Take Dip The sub's frogmen had a different idea of fun. Steele said "they're going for a swim." Steele, whose home Is In Washington, said after scien tific observations and the ball game were completed, the sub would head for Hawaii. It is scheduled to travel- through the Bering strait and join the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor Sept. 9. Only Wednesday the Sea dragon, with scouting TV cameras in its bow, completed a voyage that made a reality of the fabled Northwest Pas sage across the arctic north of Canada. The sub traversed the final link in the route sub merged to open the way for what could become a new route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. FORMER JUDGE DIES New York - IUPII - Nathan Swcedlcr, 75, former Muni cipal Court judge who in 1B28 founded the Good Will Court, an informal arbitration system for setllement of dis putes out of court, died Thurs day in a hospital. Nixon Remarks Too Rosy, Says Sen. Kennedy Detroit fUPI Sen. John F. Kennedy today branded Vice President Richard M. Nixon's claims of American leader ship in military and other fields as a "siren call of false enchantment." In an address prepared for delivery at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention here, the Democratic presidential nominee sought to refute state ments made from the same platform two days ago by Nixon, his Republican rival. "The harsh facts of the mat ter are that our security and leadership are both slipping away from us," Kennedy said. He maintained "the balance of world power is slowly shift ing to the Soviet-Red Chinese bloc," and added "Our own shores are for the first time since 1812, imperiled by chinks in our defensive ar mor." The Democratic nominee renewed his call for the next president to order a massive defense buildup and for the Eisenhower administration to unfreeze and spend over-the-budget military funds ap proved by congress this year. Kennedy lauded the VFW for approving a resolution calling for an increase in the nation's defensive strength. Without mentioning Nixon by name, Kennedy said he was "particularly proud to be a member of the VFW" when he learned that convention delegates had approved this resolution "after hearing a series of rosy reassurances." "I would like to give those rosy reassurances too," Ken nedy said. "I would like to be able to say to you categori cally and proudly that the United States is first in the world militarily, economical ly, scientifically, and educa tionally, and will be in the future." But Kennedy said he "can not in all honesty make those claims."

Union Delegates Protest Proposal For Compensation Astoria - IUPII - Representa tives of the Oregon AFL-CIO Thursday protested a pro posed "three-way" workman's compensation measure at a hearing here before the Legis lative Interim Committee on Labor-Management Relations. George Brown, legislative representative for the state AFL-CIO told the committee that proposed new law would give "unnecessary profits" to private insurance companies, and would cost 25 per cent more than the present slate program. Brown and other witnesses spoke at the opening session of a two-day meeting of the legislative committee. Headed by Stale Sen. Harry Boivin of Klamath Falls, the commit tee is taking testimony on proposals for new workmen's compensation legislation and for a new stale labor-management bill. Brown objected to a "three way" workmen's compensa tion proposal that would al low employees to choose among the stale program, in dividual private insurance, or a private group program. Under the three-way mea sure, Brown said, private in surance companies would re turn only 60 per cent of work men's compensation payments to injured workers, as against 87 per cent which he said is returned to workers under the state program. Money Use Suggested Another witness. Portland Attorney Burl Green, told the committee a 25 per cent cost increase which would accrue under the proposed three-way measure should be used in stead to sot up new safety and rehabilitation programs under the present state act. Brown and Portland Attor ney Don Swink also opposed the proposal that would limit court appeal on compensa tion payments to cases involv ing points of law. The two men supported a measure al lowing workers to appeal to the courts if they are dissatis fied with compensation pay ment amounts. The committee today was scheduled to take up propos als for a state labor-management bill to regulate the no nian's land not covered by federal law. Attending the committee hearings were Sen. Walter Pearson. Portland: Sen. Rob ert White. Salem; Rep. Robert Duncan. Medford; Rep. Wil liam Gallagher. Portland; Rep. Edward Whelan. Port land; and Hillman Luddeman, Portland. Following the hearings, the committee will draft a report for the 1961 legislature. didate, making his second ap pearance before late - night televiewers, ended up by ask ing Paar for his autograph. Many of Paar's questions were about as weighty and pointed as a marshmallow. But Nixon got across the main difference between him and his Democratic opponent, Sen. John F. Kennedy, is their ex perience. He said he and Kennedy also differed widely on mat ters of national policy. How ever, he made it clear early in the program that he did not consider the show an "ad equate place" to discuss cam paign issues. Nixon chatted and joked with Paar for 39 minutes on NBC's co;;t-lo-coast "Jack Paar Show." The interview was recorded before an audi ence in the network's studios here early in the evening and was broadcast starting at mid night (e.d.t.). Nixon, used to handling siz zling liners from questioning Washington newsmen, must have found Paar's questions like easy pop ups. Paar prefaced his queries with such apologetic remarks as, "I wouldn't do anything to embarrass you," or "for give me for asking this one." Paar Had Jitters The TV star confessed be fore the show that he was so nervous he'd lost his notes. He said his jitters weren't helped any when Nixon's wristwatch alarm went off backstage. Paar appeared nervous and fidgety at the start of the show. In fact, he big laugh lines were Nixon's. At one point he said to Paar, "Your name is Jack. That's a little embarrassing to me at the moment." As the laughter died down he added, "that wasn't in the script, was it?" Near the end of the show Paar invited his daughter Randy and Nixon's wife Pat to come up to the stage. They cozily shared a leather chair. When a woman questioner in the audience asked Nixon whether he'd briefed his wife on what to say during the campaign, Paar shouted, "Holy cow! Get that Demo crat out of there, will you." At the beginning of the program Paar told his audi ence, "I am neither Huntley nor Brinkley." He kids you not. California Fires Reported Nearly Under Control Truckee, Calif. - lUPD - Fire fighters neared the end of their seven-day battle to con trol forest fires in the High Sierra today, and forest of ficials mapped plans for a multimillion dollar salvage operation on the blackened mountains. The Donner Ridge blaze, which charred 35,000 acres north of Lake Tahoe, was 100 per cent contained and full control was expected by Saturday. The 37,000-acre fire at Foresthill was still open on an eight-mile front, but helicopter-borne teams hoped to contain it within 24 hours. .The Sierra blazes, fought by 6,000 men, claimed their first victim early Thursday. William Powers, 31, Spring ville, Calif., died of carbon monoxide poisoning while manning a radio in a truck at Donner Ridge. A total of three fires, one of which was controlled earl ier this week at North San Juan, destroyed 75,000 acres of timber valued at $15 mil lion. However, Regional Forester Charles Connaughton said im mediate steps were being taken by the Forest Service to salvage as much scorched timber as possible. "Because fires are still burning, no firm estimate can be made." he said, "but there is a possibility that some 200 to 250 million board feel of timber with a stumpage value of around S3 million can be recovered from the approxi mately 35.000 acres of gov ernment forest involved."
