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.

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.

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

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

ations and probably continue c

in normal flight, Von Beckh add-
ed.
Blackouts could be fatal, with

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.

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.

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.
