TUESDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1!)!5R HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 7 A n una nan Crew Member Of Seawolf Tells What It's Like To Be Submerged 60 Days Editor's Note Albert W. Dur kce. 23. machinist's mate firs class, of Acton, Mass., was aboard the atomic submarine Scawoil when she set a 60-day underwatei record. Here is his story. By M.M. 1. Albert W. Durkec Written for The Associated Press- NEW LONDON, Conn. IAP) We are a stick-together outfit or. this ship. We live together well. And that's the main reason wi were able to set the record. It was fabulous the way the puys got along with not a bit of trouble. This crew has always . been that way we're a group of adults. It was a good trip. We're happy about setting the record, but 1 don't think any of us have a de sire to do it again. Of course if it's broken by someone else, then that's coming up another channel. We didn't get really excited about setting the record until we passed up the Skate's mark of .31 days, o'i hours. Then we really started trying to net a record that would last a while. Before that, we passed a mile ft one without even knowing it. Several days went by before we realized that we had gone past Jules Verne s 20,000 Leagues Be neath the Sea." But it isn't surprising we didn't notice it. Sometimes, when vou're under the water and you can't tell night from day, you even get your sleeping hours mixed up. You think it's noon and it turns out to be midnight. We worked a normal watch routine all the lime four hours on duty, eight off. The first week under water seems to be always busy while you get your machinery all tuned up and the kinks ironed out. Then alter that first week over, things begin to get into a jawSw r ir aV - Court Records KLAMATH COUNTY IHSTRIt T fOTRT Haines McNojse. following loo close, ly. $10.

I tried to break into electronics his trip, something I had never done before. I got my instruction :rom some of our experts, my own Held being mechanical. I brought along a do-it-yourself vit to build a hi-fi amplifier. 1 hought it would be a tough job, but 1 got it done in five days and hat lelt me without my hobby project for the rest of the trip. So I turned to doing quite a bit of reading. And I got started with a little bit of leatherwork, making a knife case. We had two or three people who do real well at painting. They copied photographs of their ship mates' families and made oil por traits for them. Leathercraft was big too. And there were a lot of games going- monopoly, cabbage, bingo, pi nochle, chess, checkers. We wore two monopoly sets to a frazzle. Dozens of decks of cards got so worn we had to throw them away. A lot of the people aboard wrote a short letter every day or made a continuous letter. Then they swapped them with their corres pondents when they got ashore. This is common amongst the mar ried "Johns," of whom I am not one. But the off-time was not all games and letter writing. Many people worked on correspondence courses, including those that would advance them in their Navy jobs and those that will get them high school diplomas. A lot of us attended voluntary lectures given by each other on a rotating basis on subjects relating to naval tradition, customs and history. And during the on-duty hours, we spent time educating the 10 or so new submarine sailors aboard on the way we do things on the Seawolf. , Some people ask us about how we got along and how the food and air were over such a long period. Well, I can't remember more than two cross words being put together at any one time. There was absolutely no antagonism. The lood was wonderful. It com pares favorably with the better restaurants around the country Some of our cooks were taught the liner art of lancy cooking in ho tels. We even get some wine cook ing occasionally. Our air down there was perfect It was regulated all the time to ideal conditions. It was a lot bet ter than it was when we were down for 30 days last May. We were in our own little world. but we stayed in touch with what went on outside because we got newscasts and the ball scores We even had our own cartoon ists and our own gags. The amateur cartoonists spoofed any Utile mistakes or accomplish ments that any of us made. One fellow even made me up a set of spurs so when things got a little rough I could ride them down like a Texas cowboy. As for the gags, one of our fa vorites was to call a man via voice tube. When he put his ears to the lube to get the message, he got a surprise instead. Somebody up above poured a cup of cold water down the tube and into his ear. The humor helped pass the time. Finally, we started looking homeward toward the Thames River in New London. When you start that homeward trip, things begin to get a little more excited Everybody becomes interested in when you re going to get there. The closer we cot to surfacing. the more tension built up. At that particular moment. 1 was pretty tense not because of surfacing but because we were going to do something different. It was a big change from just staying down all the time. And once we got up, it was an even bigger change. Unlike past trips, we were met by photograph ers and the press, who were hov ering in helicopters and a blimp over the spot where we were sur facing. A press boat was also in the area. For most of us. the most anxious moments of the trip were when we were pulling up to the dock Wo wanted to look our best and make a good landing for our fam ilies and the dignitaries watching us. After 60 days of operating sub merged, our run in from the sur facing point and maneuvering alongside the dock indicated to everybody present that we had not forgotten the lessons we learned on the conventional type sub and brought to this new truly submer sible submarine Seawolf. iaF if v ':t-W" - - "HS--, .

U.S. Navy Photo via AP Wirephoto Doctors Should Look At This Man's Tobacco PORTSMOUTH, England (UPI) Doctors who blame diseases on cigarettes might look at the pipe tobacco Frederick Mc Ma lion had on hand. Testimony in court Monday showed pipe tobacco sold in Mc Mahon's cigar store contained stained paper, metal foil, burned tobacco and dirt. Mc.Muhon was fined $70 for possessing tobacco containing sub stances not authorized bv cus toms. He said he made the to bacco by stripping down cigarettes that had been in his shop a long time. Unemployment High In Britain LONDON 'AP) British unem ployment last month was the high est in 11 years. 476.000 persons out of work. The Ministry of Labor an nounccd today that one of every 50 workers was jobless. A year ago there were only 267,000 idle. or one in every 83. lhe record unemployment is m the midst of general British pros perity iinequaled since the war. The trouble is a minor recession various imtnulacttirmg I Kids, due partly to overseas competi tion. Output in the manulacluring industry is running about 5 per cent below last year's. Employment Not Rising As Fast As Production Agent Suspects Taken To Algeria PARIS, (UPI) Minor figures irrested in roundups oi suspected agents of the Arab underground are being flown to Algeria, pre sumably for confinement and even dial trial, it was reported today French officials said some .1110 suspects have been flown lo Oran, the principal city of western Al geria, during the past tew davs. Although the officials did not say what disposition is being made of the suspects in Oran, it was as sumed that they are being in terned pending court martial.

WAI.ZKK IT I Financial Editor NEW YORK iUPH Indications :ire that employment isn't rising :is fast as production is picking up. This stems Irom greater use 01 automation, operation of more ef ficient plants, and more emphasis on increased labo.- productivity. Some of the slack in employ ment is being taken up by new businesses started during the re cession by some of the unem ployed. Take leathercraft for example. In r,M8, people making their own sandals, wallets, belts and brief cases spent less than $2 million for equipment. This year they are spending $13 million. Tandy Leather Co., a division of General American Industries. with 87 stores throughout the country, reports an overall rise in sales of three per cent. In some cities, hard hit By un employment, the gam has been larger. The company's Pittsburgh sales rose 30 per cent; St. Louis, 19 per cent: Butfalo, 17 per cent, and Chicago, Id per cent. In De troit where auto unemployment was highest, sales were up two per cent.. According to landy Company executives, many who formerly used lcathcrcralt as a hobby have turned it into a paying business by selling their products. Additional leisure from unem ployment or reduced working hours has given more time to the home production ot leather goods Some workers who have been working lull time are using funds realized from leather work lo sup plement their regular incomes The Tandv Company sells a number of kits lor do-it-yourself craftsmen. These include kits for belts, wallets, moccasins, and oth ers. The company notes that where one or two kits were for merly purchased, the recession period saw demand for quantities The most popular kits include wallets, moccasins, sandals, and quick-draw pistol holders, the last influenced by the craze for TV Westerns. Tandv expects the demand to continue with new enterprisers in business. I he company plans to Isle Sinking But No Panic WASHINGTON (UPI) - Long Island, N. V., is sinking into the sea but there's no cause for panic. Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, retiring president of the Internal Council of Scientific L'nions, disclosed Monday that Long Island now is going down two feet every 100 years. It 'was sinking only six inches a century before 1030. Berkner said the reasons are not completely clear to science, hut most of the continental United States is sinking with only land north of a line drawn between Boston and Chicago gradually rising. It could be the result of steadily rising sea levels because of melting glaciers or an increasing load of silt on earth, Berkner said. faz&si'j? Afer hj Ln e Given Jail Term ALICE SfRINGS, Australia, iAP) Australia's best known aborigine, Albert Namatjira, was sentenced lo six months at hard labor today for supplying liquor to fellow tribesmen who aren't al lowed it. Namatjira. 5fi. was granted full Australian citizcuship rights two years ago in recognition of his artistic ability. That gave him the right to buy liquor. But Australian citizens are also liable to jail if they supply liquor to an aborigine who is a ward of the state, which most aborigines are. Accidents are fatal to about 13, 000 farm residents in the United States each year. IT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS! open 23 additional stores in the next 18 months. The company finds in letters it receives that many people whose incomes cannot keep up with in creased living costs have turned the leather hobby into a part-time business. Many another craft where do-it-yourself has built a hobby is being translerrcd to regular or part time1 business. Older people at or near retire ment are delving into these lines, to help fight inroads of inflation! and also to give them a higher standard of living. Government workers wilh tradi tionally low incomes arc among lhe many using the Tandy kits to increase their incomes, the com pany notes. These various hobbies turned to profit may take away the sting of unemployment prospects in the future when industries through use of automation get along with (ewer workers. Also, as one ot the the hobbyists pointed nut, this is one way that real skills of handicraft can be carried on now that so much is being done by machinery. RAPS CHILD LAWS LAKEW0OD. N. J. (UPP-The president of the New Jersey Farm Bureau charged Monday that the state's child labor laws are getting to he so stringent Ihey are turning teen-agers into "20th Century idlers torn be tween the TV set and the family car." Herbert W. Voorhees said "professional do gooders" are over-zealously protecting "a lot of normal, husky teen - age young sters from so-called 10th Century sweat shop practices. . ."
