Air Force Ends
Search For Nose
Cone and Mouse
CAPE CANAVERAL ,Fla., (vR—
The search for the Thor-Able
nose cone and its tiny mouse pas
senger was abandoned Saturday
by the Air Force.
Efforts to recover the nose
cone of1 the Thor-Able missile
launched at the Atlantic missile
range Wednesday evening have
been discontinued.
For 2 V2 days, Air Force Te
lemetry ships and six planes had
searched Atlantic waters for the
highly-advanced, top-secret nose
cone and the white mouse, ‘laska,
which had flown 6,000 miles
through space.
The target area was near As
cension Island, some 1,000 miles
from the coast of Africa. *

School of Albacore
Tuna Sighted In
Gulf of Alaska
J'UNEAU, UR— A huge school j
of tuna, a warm water fish was
sighted in the usually frigid
Gulf of Alaska 80 miles south
west of Yakutat Bay Friday.
Howard Baltzo, acting regional
director of the U.S. Bureau of
Commercial Fisheries here, said
it was “very, very rare” that
tuna venture so far into northern
waters. The tuna sighted, he
said, were albacore, the highest
grade of the big fish.
“It means we have an awful
lot of warm water in the gulf,”
Baltzo said. “That’s very far
north for albacore. Normally
they won’t go into water colder
than 57 degree^.”
The tuna were sighted by the
crew of a freighter, which ra
dioed the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries of the big run, estimated
at several miles in length.
The last time tuna were
sighted in the Gulf of Alaska was
two years ago, but they didn’t
stay around long enough for any
Alaska fishermen to get to them.
The albacore fishery is cen
tered off the California coast.
It seldom extends any farther
north than the Columbia River,
Baltzo said, although big tuna
runs appeared in 1948 and
1949 near the Queen Char
lotte Islands, off the Coast of
British Columbia.

Goldfine Lawyers
Disagree Over
Form of Defense ,
WASHINGTON, UP) — Bernard
Goldfine said Saturday the Con
gressional investigation into his
affairs so far has consisted of
“smear, pry and spy.”
The millionaire friend of Pres
idential assistant Sherman Adams
read a statement to newsmen as
he boarded a plane for a week
end at home in Boston.
Goldfine said he was replying
to published statements of Rep.
John Bennett (R-Mich). He
quoted Bennett as saying the
House subcommittee, of which
Bennett is a member, wants to
look at Goldfine’s financial rec
ords to find “new leads on other
matters.”
“This is exactly the point I
have been making,” Goldfine said.
“This proves repeated state
ments that this committee is on
a fishing expedition and look into
matters that are not pertinent
or relevant to the inquiry at
hand.”
Meanwhile, two sets of lawyers
for Bernard Goldfine were re
ported to have split over what
sort of defense to put up before
the House investigating subcom
mittee.
One Goldfine attorney said the
Boston industrialist may be worse
off as a result than if he had
banked on a single legal com
mand to guide his course through
what has become stormy going.
Goldfine was backed in balk
ing at questions by his top Bos
ton lawyer, Samuel Sears. But
th^t was not the advise of his
Washington strategist, Roger
Robb whom Goldfine was said
to have hired after checking
with his friend Sherman Adams,
President Eisenhower’s top as
sistant.
