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

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."
