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.

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

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

marine "tugboats" lo tow under

Father Of Atom Submarine
Absent From Ceremonies
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rear
Adm. Hyman G. Rickovers ab

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

Dedestrians who until' now have

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

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

equipment enabling it to take. to average about 12 feet in thick-
pictures of the underside of the ness, with some ridges as much
