I What the United States hopes will be the world's , nrst atomic-engtnea sub marinethe Nautilus began tat lng shape Saturday with the cere monial welding together of some ordinary-looking steel plates. - President Truman journeyed up from the capital for an address to mark the beginning of a new era in the age-old history of warships. Formerly, this would have been a keel-laying ceremony but ship building technique and designs have changed. . . A submarine now has no keel to lay. And a great deal of work already has been done toward de signing the hull, gathering together ' and fabricating material and start-; largest submarine fleet, may be ing work, on a land-based experi mental nuclear engine like that which wUl drive the new subma rine Nautilus when she starts her first trial run sometime in 1954.

Now called the General Dyna mics Corporation, the original com pany launched the first successful submarine, the Holland, in 1896. The Nautilus, when completed. Is expected to be the first of its kind in the world.

Reds Arrested . , In Italy ;; ; LEGHORN, Italy lfl.f- ; Police announced Saturday the arrest of three Communist -party members accused, of placing a bomb in the parked automobile of U. S. Army Sgt. Patsy Ramucci of Schenecta dy, N. Y last week. 1 The-bomb exploded while. Ra mucci,' attached to the-Ui 6. Supply Command here,-was In a nearby restaurant. No one was Injured. . . Police said the bombing was caused ' by "political motives." Communists have been agitating against the American Port Com mand's policy of hiring only non Communlsta to unload ships. rain needed in the wheat fields and the cherry harvest starting. Rain causes ripening cherries to split and damages other "soft fruits" at harvest time. Farmers in Central Washington's big wheat producing district hired the Water Resources Corp. of Denver as a rain-maker the past two days. The firm uses ground'generators principally to bombard clouds with silver iodide, but cherry growers here said they heard rain-makers also were operating from planes this week. Soft fruit growers, blaming rain makers for damage to their crops last year, hired an anti - rain -maker this year for the first time. Growers voted to assess them selves $1 a ton of cherries, and Jack M. Hubbard. Olympla, mete orologist, was hired to ward off the rain. Hubbard has been elusive and mysterious about his operations. methods and equipment, but the Yakima Republic reported he was dashing from point to point in the valley to aid his ground forces as black clouds threaten." (Dr. Phil E. Church. University of Washlngon meteorologist, aids the anti - rain - makers probably would use the same method as the rain-makers, only more. He said the likely method would be to over-seed, succcessiui seeding depends on bombarding clouds with silver iodide which collects mois ture particles until their weight causes it to fall.) (Over-seeding would result in wider distribution of the limited moisture particles on the silver iodide, -preventing it from experimenting along similar lines. At below-snorkel depth, today's submarine must cut off its power ful diesel engines and rely on electric motors driven from bat teries. They can stay down only a matter of hours and their speed is limited. The solution to the problem has come to atomic energy, the same power that makes possible the unleashed fury of a bomb, but a power harnessed and measured out. So far, science has not discovered a way to apply directly the tre mendous energy of nuclear fission. So it is being hooked to one of the oldest forms of motive power, steam. A nuclear reactor (an atomic furnace) produces beat which gen erates steam just as does a fuel oil or coal fire. The steam spins a turbine and the turbine, through i eduction gears, is linked to the propellor shafts. Fission of one pound of uranium releases energy equal to the com bustion of 2.600.000 tons of coal or the equivalent In fuel oil. Thus, an atomic-powered sub marine win have not only vastly greater power than any present submersible but its cruising range will be virtually unlimited. Equally important, the atomic- engine can be used while the craft is submerged. It uses no air for combustion. The atomic submarine can take all its huge power below the surface and travel, deep down, at speeds perhaps as great as 35 knots far faster than the 16 or 18 knots of even the best of today's submersibles. No longer will it have to rely on the slow speed Umit set by rapidly-depleting batteries. With cruising range unlimited, an enemy's commerce and naval ship ping anywhere to the world would be within reach of American sub marines. For the same reasons, picket submarines equipped with radar to watch for enemy aircraft headed for the United States can stay on station for months, limited only by the food supply and endurance of the crew. By EDWARD Cl'RTIS LONDON W William Martin Marshall, a 24-year-old radio op erator In the British Foreign Of fice, was formally charged Satur day with passing state secrets to the Soviet Union. After a first hearing In a mag istrate's court, Marshall was or dered held in prison without bail. He did not enter a plea at the first hearing. When he was charg ed earlier at Wandsworth Police Siation, however, he said, "I deny the charge." Magistrate Clyde T. Wilson ordered Marshall's next hearing In a week, at which time he would be expected to plead. Scotland Yard anti-espionage agents arrested the slight, fresh faced youth, who looks like a high school senior, in a London park Friday night. Marshall,' formerly a radio oper- Canada OK's Pipeline Job Police Seek Divorcee, School Boy BURBANK. Calif. W Police throughout the west were on the lookout Saturday for a 28-year-old platinum blonde and a 17-year-old boy who apparently ran away together. The district attorney's office has issued a complaint charging the woman. Mrs. Virginia Letourneau, with contributing to the delinquen cy of the youth, James E. Sherwln husky son of a Lockheed Aircraft Company engineer. Although the two have been miss ing Since last May 24, the case came to light Friday when the complaint was issued at the re quest of the boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dean L. Sherwln. Young Sherwln is a senior at Burbank High 8chool. Also missing and believed with the couple Is Mrs. Letourneau's son. Arrr.and Letourneau Jr.. 10. Mrs. Letourneau is a divorcee. The divorcee Is charged with three counts in connection with the high school boy. One charges that he was one of four youths who drank vodka with her in a parked car. a second that she allowed him to share her bedroom in her Bur hunk hnm. and a third that she aided him in running away from home. ator In the British Embassy In Moscow,; specifically was aecund of violating Britain's Official Bee rets Act by tipping Information on "diverse dates and at diverse places" to Pavel Kuanetsov, sec ond secretary of the Soviet Em bassy in London. The charge said the information would be Useful to the enemy. Chief Inspector William Hughes told the magistrate Marshall was arrested whilo strolling In King George's Park with "another per son," who was not Identified. The foreign office refused to confirm or deny a report that tills second man was Kuunctsov and Uiat he had claimed diplomatic immunity. The Soviet Embassy did not com ment. A Foreign Office spokesman de clined to say immediately whether Britain would ask Moscow to call Kusnetsov home. He said the gov ernment would take no action which would prejudice a Jury In Marshall's case. Asked whether Soviet Ambassa dor Georgt Zarubin had been in formed of the case, the spokesman said: I think not. Zarubin. who was ambassador in Canada when a Soviet spy ring was broken there in 1946. has Just been reassigned to Washington. He was absolved of any part In the Canadian ring's activities by a Canadian Investi gating commission. Conviction under the Official Secrets Act carries a maximum penalty of 14 years Imprisonment. That is the sentence now being served by Klaus Fuchs, convicted of givini; vital atomic secrets to i the Russians while working as one of Britain's top atomic specialists. Marshall's job at $1,130 a year salary was to send coded or plain messages from the Foreign Office to British embassies around the world. The Foreign Office -spokesman said the fact he sent coded messages did not necessarily mean he had access to official codes: that most messages al ready were coded when handed to an operator. Atomic Energy Commumlon to liiamilacture iiydrogrn weapons numbered in four figures. This would prevent war and win u time to wage pence. McMahon continued: "1 would direct that we substitute cheap atomic and hydrogen - fire. power for expensive conventional firepower ... to reduce taxes and balance the budget while we wage peace. McMahon stressed the destruc tive power of . the hydrogen bomb over the atomic bomb and aald he did not think Soviet Premier Stolln would send his lurces against tills weapon. But he said the only solution for peace was foolproof disarmament and diversion ot money from weap ons to the elimination of human misery and want. McMahon made his hydrogen pro posals as part of a campaign plat form to "wage peace." The platform called also for: Appointment of a commission "to re-think the twin problems of world disarmament and world de velopment." A proposal to Stalin to form a similar commlaaton In Russia.

I . : ' Hoof and Mouth Restricts Game Hoof and mouth disease in Canada has put restrictions on big game being transported across the Canadian border into the United States, the Pish and Wildlife Serv ice has announced. The restrictions and bans are on all cloven-hoofed animals being transported across the border. As long as the disease persists in Canada, the transportation of moose, elk, deer, caribou, mountain goat, mountain sheep and anteiope will be orohibited. However, approved completely boned and well-cooked meat, in spected at the border, may be al lowed across. Antlers, horns and hooves, if thoroughly and properly cleaned and dried, may also be brought back as trophies if they pass the inspections at ooraer points. The TJSDA reoorted that hides. skins and troohies may fairly well expect clearance at the border if properly treated oy Canadian taxi dermists. CLEAN FIRE BALTIMORE Wl A fire at the corner of Baltimore's congested skid tow" area of Baltimore Street brought out 10 pieces of fire fighting apparatus Friday night and blocked traffic for 15 minutes. Firemen quickly extinguished the blaze in one. of the .city's "keep Baltimore clean" waste receptacles. found sufficient for such a line. Justice John D. Kearney, chief commissioner, said he will hold up final decision on the company's ap plication until the board has made an independent investigation of gas reserves in the Peace River area of British Columbia and Alberta, where the company proposes to draw its supplies. "If and when the board decides that the gas reserves are suffi cient." he said, "an order will be issued granting the applicant leave to construct the pipeline." He said the board was satisfied with the company's financial re sponsibility and with all other phases of the project. He also noted that the company will apply Monday before the United States Federal Power Com mission for approval of the line proposed for the U. S. Pacific Northwest. Westcoast plans a 960-mile line from the Northern B. C. -Alberta border to Vancouver. An extension would go south through Seattle and Portland. A second branch would Serve Trail, B. C, Eastern Washington and Northern .Idaho, including Spokane and the Hanford Works of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com mission. The chief commissioner said the company's gas reserves were of "common concern" to both the U. S. and Canadian boards, and if the Federal Power Commission wanted to examine reserves, the Canadln board would cooperate. Police Seek Two Cars . MERCURY REACHED 101 BIRMINGHAM, ' Ala.
