Edited by Mrs. A.ma Denny, fuopyngnc ny i.enerai reatures i;orp.j Mrs. G. K. We should all try to cheer him up. Vera K.-He's just a Gloomy Gus and nothing will help. Mr. G. K. We've raised two children and have two more at home Bill, our baby, who's 10, and Jeff, our teen ager of 15. Their older broth ers is in the Air Force, and Vera, our only daughter, is in training as a nurse. It's Jeff who has me stymied. He's so worried about marks that he's at summer school to raise a B to an A. He skips meals, studies constantly, never smiles I hope he doesn't break down. Vera K. Jeff's mopey face sure spoils the scenery at home. Bill is solid sunshine, and the rest of us are pretty relaxed and flexible. But Jeff is a bunch of nerves. My moth er scolds me for kidding him, because he flies off the handle at any light talk. Just because my older brother and I never got many A s in high school, Jeff wants all A's and consid ers anything less a failing mark. He's wrong but he won't change. The Council: Jeff's rigidity about marks may be a symp tom of illness. Other kids get rows of A's, but they're gen erally happy and reasonable youngsters. Both Vera and Mrs. K. might try to under stand the pressures behind Jeff's drive for academic dis tinction. Is this his way of be ing different from the rest of the family? We'd strongly urge at least one consultation with a psychiatrist so that the extent of Jeff's obvious de pression may be gauged. At the risk of sounding alarmist, we must cite the high inci dence of attempted suicide among youngsters under 17 (102 in one year reported by Bellevue) from unsuspected depressions. Certainly the boy must be brought to the stage where he can take (and offer) some friendly joshing. Only, a fearful, confused kid goes to pieces at a sister's banter Adolescents in general are highly emotional, but Jeff Fichtner Warns of Glancing from Road Acting Police Chief Clyde Fichtner issued a reminder to day to all persons who will be vacationing in August to stop before starting to enjoy the scenery. A vacation can be ruined, he stated, by inattention on the highway. The safe way to see the scenery is to find a wide shoulder or viewpoint and pull off the highway. Even a brief look at high way speeds can be fatal, Ficht ner emphasized. At 60 miles an hour a car moves about 350 feet with every normal breath of the driver, the officer ex plained. Look away to admire the scenery for just two seconds," he added, "and you've trav eled 175 feet."

Washington-fllPO-An ingeni ously simple submarine pro pulsion system invented by Comdr. Frederick R. Hazelton Jr. of the office of naval re search, promises to provide a key to man's conquest of the ocean depths. The "Hazelton propeller" is only now In the limelight be cause of more than three months of fruitless attempts to locate the nuclear submar ine Thresher off Cape Cod, Mass. The Thresher floundered in 8,400 feet of water which is a mile and a half down but substantially less than the 12, 451-foot average depth of the seas. Hazelton, a 1945 Annapolis graduate from Nashville, Tenn., has been working on his idea since early 1961. He has spent nearly $1 million in Navy funds and expects a joint patent to be issued soon An 18-foot-long, $100,000 test model of ' his submarine is nearing completion His Balloon At present, more than 90 per cent of the ocean's volume is inaccessible except to re search vessels like the bath- yscaph Trieste which operates on the principle of an atmos pheric balloon to lower a sol idly built gondola containing two or three men. Though more than 58 feet long, chiefly because of its "balloon" containing 30,000 gallons of lighter-than-water gasoline, the Trieste's spherl cal gondola is only six feet in diameter. It has been down more than seven miles, with standing pressures of a pound per square inch for every two feet of depth. There are more complicat ed features of Hazelton's in vention, but the idea it con- tains for mastering great depths can be stated in a few words and in terms of the Trieste. He would place the propul sion machinery outside the hull. Then the hull could be solidly built, with no moving parts, like the gondola of the bathyscaph. The structural en gineers would still have a great deal of work to do but there is every reason to think that under these conditions the necessary strength for any depth could be achieved. Hazelton's submarine would need no "balloon," because it would be powered for propul sion In any direction includ ing up or down, and a side ways movement impossible for present submcrsiblcs Speed would at least equal that of present types and prob ably would become greater rather than less with depth because of reduced cavitation (a partial vacuum in fluid around a revolving propel ler.) It is generally accepted in the Navy that submarines are rapidly approaching the day when they will travel much faster than surface ships. The Hazelton submarine would have no propeller in the usual sense. Instead it would have two huge, counter- revolving rings," placed like rings on a finger near either end of a cigar-shaped vessel. The rings would be driven by electrical motors which would draw their power through solid cables from the sub's nuclear reactors. The motors, outside the hull, would be operating in sea water a horrible thought in terms of old - style mainte-1 nance. But Hazelton has word from the two biggest U.S. elec trical companies that modern technology makes this pos-! sible. Hazelton told UPI in an in-1 terview that if he gets a go- j ahead from the Navy his sub marine could be operational in six or seven years at depths about double the present max imums, which are secret but I probably not much more than ! 1,000 feet. Solution of the structural problems for really great depths might take several more years. Hazelton said aluminum and fiberglass at present look more favorable than steel because the strength - to . weight ratio is greater. The 18-foot model, under construction at the Nether lands ship model basin in Wageningen, Holland, and due to arrive in this country next October, has space for a test pilot but in the absence of a nuclear reactor naturally can't be self-propelling. It will operate on power brought by cable from outside the tanks at the David Taylor model basin outside Washing ton. The model's chief func tion is to test unique hydro dynamic characteristics. Mounted on each of the re volving rings are a dozen or more short fins which, in a full-scale submarine would be two to three feet long and which vary their pitch with each revolution. These are ad justable for propulsion in any direction. - The fins also are adjustable for stationary stability in any position. In other words, the submarine could stand up right in the water to launch large missiles if this were de sirable. There would be no .mechanical obstruction to launching missiles or torped oes from either end of the hull. Hazelton, who already speaks of the existing nuclear subs as conventional types, ex plained that torpedo tubes, escape hatches and the like, containing no moving parts, do not present the type of structural problem encounter ed when hull openings are necessary for revolving pro peller shafts. He was, however, conserva tive about the depths that could be reached with present materials and structural meth ods. Using steel in a normal- size submarine, he said, the "hull fraction"-the fraction of the weight !n the hull would become intolerable at considerably less than 15,000 feet. The oceans, which the Navy likes to refer to as "inner space," go down in many areas to more than twice that depth and, in a few deep trenches in the Pacific, to more than 37,000 feet. It's Hazelton's guess that, with outer space being tamed, no one will be satisfied until submarines can reach any sea bottom in the world and re-surface.
