RESEARCH SUBMARINE The- first sub
marine, a 2,000 pound, 12-foot research
craft, ever build by the Department of
Interior is shown on its maiden voyage be
ing operated by technician Robert Kiwala,
left, and James Squires. It was turned over
to the department's fish and wildlife serv-
vice laboratory at Tiburon, Calif., with
plans to inspect San Francisco Bay and to
study fish life. The sub can cruise two to
six knots under water for 10 hours without
surfacing and is controlled by an airplane
type stick connected to hydroplanes and a
rudder. (UPI)
English Walk Too, Only Do It The Hard Way
By JOSEPH BREU
Southampton, England -tUPD
-For you blase souls who
have been everywhere and
done everything, here's some
thing new to try some time:
go take a stroll under the
liner Queen Elizabeth.
It can be done it hs
been done. It just takes a little
status, nerve ana a strong
back.
There is a six-week period
each year when you can walk
under the Queen. That is the
time she spends in drydock
in Southampton for her an
nual overhaul, which is per
haps the world's biggest
spring cleaning job. During
that time, the liner is. scraped
and painted, one of her four
sets of engines is replaced,
and the cabins and staterooms
are all spruced up.
In Pit
To make your sub-liner
trip, you will have to go to
the bottom of the dry dock,
which is a pit about 80 feet
deep in which sets the QueCn
Elizabeth, looking eerie and
uncomfortable out of water.
But from just under the
bow of the ship, the ship's
grace of line Is most evident.
She looks sleek and beautiful.
As you walk back' along the
side, you notice that the 1,031
foot liner is neatly balanced
in the center and along the
sides on steel supports.
To set it on the supports so
that it will stay up requires
pin-point accuracy. The cen
ter of the bottom of the hull
must be settled within one
inch on the center support.
Skin divers direct the opera
tion from beneath the ship
and if she misses the first
time, the liner is refloated
until she is perfectly set
down. '
Like Cst
Walking beneath the bot
tom of the hull is like walking
in a cave. For about 100 yards
you walk stooped over in a
space about four feet high.
But there are compensations.
To bump your head on 83,673
tons and survive is bracing
to the ego.
The overhaul on the Queen
Elizabeth this year includes
some extra features. To pre
pare the Queen for her intro
duction into the Caribbean
cruise service out of New
York, Cunard lines have de
cided to add a new cocktail
bar to the cabin-class lounge
and to restyle with new soft
furnishing 150 cabin class
staterooms.
During each of the over
hauls over the next three
years, Cunard will make ex
tensive renovations on the
Queen to modernize her and
maintain her as one of the
world's leading liners. Cun
ard officials estimate the
Queen Elizabeth will remain
in service for the next 10
years.

Elephants Still
Awaiting Births
Portland - SiFD - Been won
dering what's happened to
Portland's two pregnant ele
phants? Nothing.
Tuy Hoa now has been ex
pecting for TOO days and
that's believed to be a rec
ord, according to Dr. Mat
thew Maberry, zoo veterinari
an. Pet has been expecting for
669 days, he said.
Belle gave birth to Port
land's first baby elephant,
Packy, after a gestation peri
od of 835 days. Rosy gave
birth to Me-Tu after 634 days.
Dr. Maberry said he did
not think either Tuy Hoa or
Pet was a "false alarm."
