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

routine where you can begin
spending a lot of time on the hob-
lying bit.
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.

Doctors Should

PORTSMOUTH, England (UPI)
Doctors who blame diseases on

stained paper, metal foil, burned
tobacco and dirt.
Mc.Muhon was fined $70 for

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.
