Loss Of Power Blamed For Submarine's Fate WASHINGTON (UPI) Theldence in its nuclear submarine ' .Submarine Thresher, which went to the ocean bottom April 10 with 129 men aboard, probably lost V nuclear power ai a crucial mo mcnt when water was flooding its engine room. The reactor apparently shut down automatically, as nuclear power plants are designed to do in certain emergencies, under a "fail-sale" system. Submariners were wondering today whether the power plant, had it continued to operate, would have been able to drive tlie Thresher to the surface "against the great weight of flood ing scawaler. - Presumably no one will ever -know. There was no suggestion one way or the other in an offl--cial Navy report Thursday on the disaster, the worst ever to befall a submarine. The Navy said the "most probable" cause of the tragedy was flooding in the en gine room caused by a piping system failure. The Navy expressed full confi- MARCHA "cH TODAY I OPEN :JB ATARTfl l:M I CONNIE t RANCH k - J f MARCHA ''"1 f HATI1RDAV I I 1 DAY ONLV 1:11 - S:M I IHalln - Tret lTnfrr 11 I Merchant lHnud I SWORDHMAN OF KirMA M Slwrl Grmtsr . riiti M VI CARTOONS M SUN.

Anderson had a flood ing engine room but was able to apply full speed and make it safely to the surface from a depth of more than 400 feet. Anderson, now a retired cap tain heading President Kennedy's National Service Corps- efforts, later told United Press Interna tional that the full speed applied to the Nautilus increased the "lift" of its control surfaces enough to overcome the weight of flooding water. "The critical pari was starting up before flooding water could put us in dire straits," he said. Anderson was operating "nuite deep" in an anti-submarine exer cise off the Maine coast when a cooling line broke and dumped water into the engine room "a ton every few seconds." The Thresher, in deep diving tests off Cape Cod, must have been much deeper and encoun tered a more violent and rapid series of misfortunes. No one of these could be called the sole cause of the tragedy. PACE Z-A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Friday, June 21, 1963 Nil r 1 , ... I L ' Air Force Boundaries ',;)-: Realigned . X F J.
