NAUTI LI'S (L'PIi She's a lady. That's the best possible descrip tion for the world's first atomic powered ship, the submarine Nautilus. After a seven-day, rec ord breaking voyage from Port land, England, to New York it'.s hard to say a bad word about her. The Nautilus docked at Portland Aug. 12 after making the first voy age under the North Pole. And she was given the hero's welcome she School Board Seeks Advice ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - The Arlington County School Board, caught in an apparent conflict be tween a Federal Court desegre gation order and state law, says it will ask Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan to show it the way out. The board said last night it would ask Bryan next Tuesday two days before schools are sched uled to open what it should do about 30 Negro children seeking admission to Arlington white schools. Several hours earlier, in Har risonburg, Federal Judge John Paul handed another setback to ' the state's massive resistance to integration doctrine by refusing to approve in its entirety the redis ricting plan drawn up by the Charlottesville School Board. Charlottesville created a new district around Jefferson School, a Negro school and all 30 Negro applicants to white schools live in that district. Judge Paul said he felt some phases of the redistrict ing were not discriminatory but that he was troubled over other phases of it. uoctor lites Space Danger AMSTERDAM (AP) Coming - home to earth could hold the . ' greatest danger of blackout and disaster for spacemen, a U.S. Air Force physician reported to the .' International Astronautical Feder ation today. The danger would result from the sudden speedup from the earth's pull of gravity after the weightlessness of outer space. This change is apparently tough er on the human system than go ing from the dragging weight of rocket takeoff into weightlessness when a ship is flying in space. saM fir . Haral .1 vnn Rpplrh nf Holloman Air Force Base, at Alamosordo. N.M. Volunteers were photographed and analyzed as they rode in the rear cockpit of jet fighters. The planes pulled out of dives simu lating the terrible gravity pull of rocket takeoff then arched in weightless flight, then sped up again. With heavy gravity pulls, the passengers' faces became distort ed as oy suaaen age. me men became confused. Their chest hurt. They felt faint or blacked out. The pilots were protected by ' gravity suits. All volunteers said they felt the gravity effects more keenly after being weightless, Von Beckh re ported. Some were experienced jet pilots; some had never flown before. Defects in circulation, in muscu lar control, vision, and judgment likely will occur at lower acceler ations and probably continue c longer time in space flight than in normal flight, Von Beckh add- ed. Blackouts could be fatal, with the uncontrolled space ship turn ing into a flaming meteor. deserved for the fabulous journej across the top of the world. Shortly before the sub was scheduled to sail for the Unilet States Aug. 18, three berths wen opened up for the press. Which service would represent television, photos and writing was chosen by the flip of a coin. United Press Movietone won the television spot and decided to try to get camera man Raymond Ziesse in from the Middle East whore he had been covering the current crisis in Bei rut, Baghdad and Amman. Associated Press won the photo berth and sent British cameraman Leslie Priest. UPI won the news slot and sent me for the trip. By military and commercial plane UPI managed to get Zeisse into London late the afternoon of Aug. 17. A UPI car picked him up at the airport with his tickets and equipment and then made a wild dash to the train station, picking me up on the way. We managed to catch the last train to Portland with a full two minutes to spare. It was raining and cold when we arrived at the Nautilus live hours later. The next day was hectic. We were out of bed at 0715 for break fast. Then came some early morn ing television interviews, a last chance to talk to my London of fice and file a story. Finally, the last of the British press, British Admiralty and visitors from all over were herded off the sub. A dockside band struck up with Yan kee Doodle and the atomic-pow ered screws of the Nautilus set her into motion. A few last shouts and waves from the dock and we were headed to sea. For about two hours we stayed on the surface, heading for deep water. It was a smooth sea and the Nautilus well known for her stomach-churning roll and pitch on the surface kept moving right along. At the last moment we went into the control room. There were a couple of squawks from the Klax on and Skipper William R. Ander son said "take her down." All of a sudden the Nautilus was quiet. It was like being tied up at dock again. From then until we surfaced out side New York on the run setting new submarine speed record crossing the Atlantic we moved fast. The Nautilus has an an nounced speed of "over 20 knots" and we averaged just about that on the trip across, or under. To sharpen up the Nautilus at tack technique Anderson made a mock attack on a passing ship. The ship which never knew we were within 100 miles would have been at the bottom of the sea without knowing what hit her if it had been for real. But -Anderson made certain she didn't know and took care not to alarm her if she suddenly found out we were around. No matter how many other subs come along or whether they over shadow the Nautilus with their speed and size, she'll go into history. She s a lady the first lady. Cold Arctic Could Become Hot War Battleground WHAT'LL IT BE TONIGHT NEW YORK (UPD-Somelhing fishy is going on in the Bronx Monday night the sanitation de partment was called out to haul away a 300-pound shark left on a street by persons unknown.

By CHARLES STAFFORD Associated Press Newsfeaturea Writer Suddenly, almost overnight history is measured, the frozen top ol the world has become a potential aiueiieia. Even in man's short span, the transition from fantasy land to strategy land has been fast. Not because of any change in the irozen geography of the arctic it self. The two million square mile ice cap which revolves slowly about the North Pole has always done so. ine 3.500 miles Irom Fairbanks, Alaska, to Irkutsk, Russia: the 2.500 miles from the American air base at Thule, Greenland, to Mos cow; the 5,000 miles from northern Siberia to Chicago are unchange- aDie. - It is the machines of war that have changed. The development of the long range bomber in the 1940s gave arctic skies their new importance. The military's lowliest yardbird could see with a glance at a globe that the quickest route from east to west was north and then south. It became clear that the bomb laden planes of a nuclear war would speed over, the arctic to reach their targets. This concept did not change with the development of the guided mis sile. The speed of delivery of nu clear destruction simply increased. INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-A bomb exploded late last night outside the home of John R. Stevenson, first vice president of the Inter national Brotherhood of Carpen ters. Two windows were broken and a storm door was damaged. The house was unoccupied. Stevenson and his wife were away on vaca tion. Police said preliminary investi gation indicated a dynamite bomb. Lt. C. Richard Cane said he could not tell whether it was thrown or planted. Neighbors reported seeing a man walking near the house about two hours before the explosion. Stevenson was president of a local union in Chicago before com ing to international headquarters here as second vice president in 1941. He became first vice presi dent in 1953. JUSTICE MOCKED FORT WORTH. Texas UPI- Burglars have literally snapped their fingers under the noses of the Fort Worth Police Department. They broke open an automatic cof fee machine and took $10.87. The machine was located in police headquarters and most of its cus tomers are cops. If n w X nonrnT tflRFsT FIRES! Labor Aide's Home Bombed The strategic importance of the arctic was underscored last year and again in early May when Pres ident Elsenhower proposed an aer ial inspection plan in this region as this first step toward world dis armament . . . and the Russians vetoed the idea. From a naval standpoint, the Arc tic Sea was long discounted as a potential area of operations be cause it was frozen over. But last summer this concept began to change. The atomic submarine Nautilus spent five and one half days cruising under the arctic ice and penetrated to within 180 miles of the North Pole. Early this month, the arctic's new strategic importance became abundantly clear to the civilians of the world. Cmdr. William R. An derson, commanding officer of the Nautilus, told how his vessel sailed through the Bering Stra:: July 23, dived beneath the arctic ice August 1, passed beneath the pole August 3, and surfaced two days later in the North Atlantic between Green land and Spitzbergen. President Eisenhower, standing beside Anderson, said only that the Nautilus had pioneered a route be tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for the cargo submarines of the future. But another implication was plain: Missile armed subs can lurk undetected beneath the polar ice waiting to unleash their fury against Russia should war come. Historic as it was, the eye-ooen- ing voyage was but one incident in the bustling arctic activity. For years, the United States has been stringing radar stations along me Arctic circle. This line of sta tions, designed to detect the ap proach of bombers out of Eurasia, is called the Distant Early Warn ing or Dewline. lt extends from the tip of the Aleutian Islands in the west along a 5,000-mile route to Baffin Bay in the east. The Dew line promises four to six hours warning of attack by Soviet air- crau. At 6est, however, it could eWe only about 15 minutes warning of the approach of intercontinental ballistic missiles. To bolster its ef fectiveness, the Air Force plans three ultra-range radar stations. These stations, costing well over a quarter of a billion dollars, will be spotted along the Dewline. Since November 1. 1958. the Unit. ed States has been firing-test rock ets irom r t. Churchill in Canada's Manitoba province. On February 15, the Army announced a new se ries of missile tests to determine how arctic weather affects elec tronic control systems. The Air Force maintains bases within the arctic or just outside of it from which it could launch planes and missiles in the event of war. Since the Nautilus' voyage, a sec ond atomic submarine, the Skate. has reached the pole. Other sub marines also are conducting exper iments in the polar region. Russia also has a ring of bases around the Arctic Circle. Its Si berian Peninsula, just a fly cast away from the Alaskan coast, is dotted with airdromes. Between 1954 and 1957, the So viets landed exploration parties at 524 spots within the Arctic Circle, more than two dozen of them with in 200 miles of North America, to study the ice pack and the ocean beneath it. By contrast, the United States made only 20 such landings during that time. The Russians announced last March they had launched 10 re search rockets into the upper at mosphere since last November from points in the arctic and antarctic. Indications nrp Ihnt tha Rncai.na also use the arctic f6T their nuclear tests. Japan s meteorological bu reau said March 8 that the So viets' two most recent nuclear ex plosions were set off near Novaya Zemlya Island above the Arctie 'Circle.
