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-

program and outlined several
new safety measures being
taken.
In a somewhat similar situation
aboard the first nuclear sub,
Nautilus, in April, 1959, Cmdr.
William It. 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.

creased the operational responsi
bilities of the 25th Region. North
American Air Defend Command,
the Information Olfiec at Kingslcy
Field has reported.
Since June 1, tlie 2Jth Region
has been supplemented by two
fighter-interceptor squadrons, in
cluding the 84th at Hamilton Air
Force Base and the 82nd at Travis
AFB; seven U.S. Army Nike-Hercules
missile sites; and three ra
dar sites, ail of which were pre
viously part of the 28th Region's
San Francisco-Sacramento air de
fense complex.
The region boundary, which
previously extended southward to
Red Bluff, Calif., has been ex
tended to include San Jose, about
40 miles south of. San Fran
cisco. This change has added 200
miles of coastline and some 37,000
square miles to the 600.000 square
mile area previously comprising
ihc region's zone.
No boundary changes were
made to the north or cast.
