(AP) A protec tion racket against dry cleaners was believed Saturday a likely mo tive for the burning of a Flint cleaning shop that backfired into II flaming death trap for a Team jer official. j Michigan Atty.

' J Adams said Kierdorf, a business Igent for Teamster Local 332, nay have been accepting money to not organize dry cleaning em ployees. As an extra protection, Kierdorf may have been keeping iompetition away from his shake down clients. Investigators began a roundup ef Teamster officials for question ing, including William Hoffa, bro ther of Teamster boss James R. Hoffa. He was questioned and re leased Friday. I Adams said others lie wanted to talk to included Frank Fitz nimmons. vice president of Hoffa's home Local 299 in Detroit, end Joseph Baines, a business agent of Local 614 at Pontiac. Meanwhile, a nationwide search continued for Herman Kierdorf, 68. an uncle of Frank. He disap peared Monday shortly after identifying his nephew at St. Jo seph Mercy Hospital in nearby Pontiac. He is sought on a techni gun cal charge of possessing a wun a silencer. Police have discovered that Herman, an ex-convict and former Teamster official, sold a black Cadillac sedan to a used car deal er for $1,700 Monday night. The car is being checked for clues. Adams said the Cadillac, the ti tie of which was registered to the Teamsters, may have been the getaway car used .by Frank Kier dorf Sunday night when he and two other men allegedly set fire to the Latreille Cleaners near Flint. Frank lingered to nick ud dropped flashlight, investigators saia, ana was caught in the flam ing explosion. He died Wednesday from complications of burns cov ering 85 per cent of his bodv.- Meraort told a story of two men luring mm to a remote area dousing him with inflammable fluid and igniting it. But on his deathbed, unable to speak, he re portedly confessed by raising his blackened arms to signify "Yes", and identified his accomplices in the arson. Adams was skeDtical of the deathbed interview. He said that investigators would follow through on any leads, however, including ivieraori s indication that his un cle was at the scene. Ky DAKRELL GARWOOD United Press International WASHINGTON UPI The itomic - powered Nautilus' pion er voyage under the North Pole neans deadly new defense capa cities for America's submarine leet as well as a new com- nercial link between the Pacific ind Atlantic oceans, observers said. The historic, four day, 1,830- mile cruise under the polar ice cap. the Navy said, means that deadly, missile - carrying nuclear subs can be switched strategically between the two oceans in less than half the time formerly re quired. On a broader base, some sources saw the U. b. s leader ship in nuclear submersibles as offsetting the psychological and military threats posed by Russia s present advantages in the satel- lite-missile field. The United States has six nu clear submarines built, 13 under construction, and seven more au thorized. So far as is known, Russia has yet to launch its first nuclear sub. Adm.' Elton W. Grenfell, com mander of submarines in the Pacific, said at Pearl Harbor that the Nautilus' dramatic voy age was "America's answer to the Sputnik." Cmdr. William R. Anderson, skipper of the Nautilus, was rushed by helicopter and transport plane from Iceland to the White House Friday for announcement of the history - making voyage. completed Tuesday. The importance attached to the feat was demonstrated by the fact President Eisenhower per sonally awarded the Legion of Merit to Anderson in a specialty called ceremony in the White House Conference Room. The mood in Congress after an nouncement of the event was jubilant. Senate Republican lead er William F. Knowland (R-Calif.l keynoted sentiment when he said the voyage should give all Ameri cans faith in their country. President Eisenhower empha sized the Nautilus' exploit pointed the way for further explorations, and possible use of this route by nuclear - powered cargo subma rines as a new commercial sea way between the major oceans of the world. A spokesman for the Federal Maritime Administration revealed it already was at work on such atom powered cargo and tanker submarines. The spokesman said he expected the Aerojet General Corp. of California to deliver the first drawings of a nuclear engine underwater tanker next week. Retired Adm. C. B. Monsen, a submarine expert who developed the famed submarine escape "lung" bearing his name, said the Arctic- cruise pointed the way to possible underwater freight trains and pleasant passenger voyages unmarred by seasickness. He said he was studying wheth er it would be practical for sub marine "tugboats" lo tow under watpr cargo barges. Father Of Atom Submarine Absent From Ceremonies WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickovers ab sence from White House cere monies announcing the Nautilus had conquered the North Pole was attributed bv many quarters to day to his zeal and outspoken comments which, ironically, led to development of the world's first atomic powered vessel. Old Navy animosities" and Rickovcr's dislike for red tape were ciled as reasons why the man regarded as mainly responsi ble for the construction ot tne Nautilus was not invited to the Tough Now To Dodge NY Jaywalk Ticket' NEW YORK (UPI) Nimble Dedestrians who until' now have avoided getting hit while thread ing New York's traffic maze found it a lot tougher dodging summonses handed out by police for violating the citys new anti- jaywalking law. Police said 479 summonses were handed out to jaywalkers Friday, the first day the law was in effect. Police expresed gratification, however, at the degree ot com pliance by both pedestrians and motorists. PERMIT HOLD LAND VISITS AMMAN. Jordan (UPI) The British army said today it will soon permit groups of its soldiers to visit Jerusalem and other Holy Land sites. White House announcement. For Rickover, the snub was the latest in a series tracing back to his early entreaties that the Navy accelerate its nuclear submarine program. White House sources refused to concede Rickover had been "passed over" in the invitations. They attributed his absence to a decision to invite only top brass with no exceptions, to the affair at which President Eisenhower pinned the Legion of Merit on Navv Cmdr. William R. Ander son for piloting the vessel under the polar ice cap. According to one source, White House advisers made three tele phone calls to top Navy leaders asking that Rickover be added to the invitation list. This source said the Navy flatly reluscd. A Navv spokesman, however, contended the Navy had nothing to do with issuing the invitations Rickover, in Washington at the time of the ceremony, left three hours later for New London, Conn., to direct final tests of the nuclear submarine "Sea Dragon, which is to be launched Aug. 16. Before he left, however, Rick over was visited by Commander Anderson, who went from the While House to Rickovcr's office in the Navy Building to pay his respects to "the father of the nuclear-powered submarine." Rickover has now failed twice to be selected for promotion to vice admiral. He will be retired from the Navy next year unless the promotion is granted. The lour year old Nautilus left Hawaii at 2 a. m., e.d.t., July 23 on a long planned, 14 day trip that covered 8.000 nauti cal miles i9,200 statute miles), during which the vessel was sub merged 97 per cent of the time. After passing through the Bering Straits, close to the shores of Soviet Siberia, the Nautilus discovered a "deep sea valley' ranging from 300 to thousands ol feet in depth under the polar ice pack. At the Pole itself, the depth was 13,410 feet, or 1.927 feet more than previous estimates. The Nautilus passed under the Pole at 11:15 p. in., e.d.t., Aug. 3. Despite navigational difficulties. the Nautilus negotiated the 1,830 nautical miles under the ice cap in 97. hours and 17 minutes at an average speed of 18.S knots, or more than 21 statute miles ar hour. The Navy pointed out that nor mal sailing distance between To kyo and London is 11,200 miles, whereas under the Pole the dis tance would be 6,300 miles. The Nautilus' achievement could be credited mainly to clear power, which uses no oxy gen and therefore makes possible indefinite submergence, but other great scientific advances also con tributed. The sub was equipped wi t h sonar (sound echoing) devices giving a continuous reading of the ocean depth with unprecedented accuracy throughout the cruise. In a few years, according to the Navy, these devices will have so thoroughly mapped the topo graphy of the ocean floor that submarine will be able to deter mine its position with as much accuracy as a surface ship. The Navy disclosed the Nautilus used an "inertial guidance sys tem, which enabled the sub to find its course without reference to the stars or other normal navigational aides, to traverse the North Pole and thus beat what Anderson referred to as "longi tudinal roulette" when its com pass became useless. The Nautilus also c a r r i e a closed - circuit television - type equipment enabling it to take. to average about 12 feet in thick- pictures of the underside of the ness, with some ridges as much polar ice pack.
