Assistant Navy Secretary
Describes Defense Budget
As Minimum for Safety
NORFOLK, Va., UP) — Assistant
Secretary of the Navy John F.
Floberg said Saturday that Am
ericans “cannot and must not
stand idly by . . . and allow any
aggressor the choice of time and
place to- cause us harm.”
He called upon the U.S. to apply
its influence in world affairs
“more vigorously than ever be
fore” to nullify any environment
which helps aggression. This can
be done only from a “position of
power,” Floberg said in an ad
dress prepared for ceremonies
marking Armed Forces Day here.
He described the reduced de
fense budget submitted by the
Eisenhower administration as a
minimum safety budget, sliced to
the barest survival level consis-'
tent with preserving the combat
potential of minimum operating
forces.”
No one is positive what caused
the ice ages of the earth, but it
is known that dust can be sprayed
into the upper atmosphere by vol
canic action and that a quantity
of such dust could reduce the in
tensity of solar radiation to the
earth by about 20 per cent and
materially reduce earth tempera
tures.

Science to Explore
“Unknown Sea”
South of Aleutians
LA JOLLA, Calif., (A — Plans
were anounced here Saturday for
exploration of an “unknown sea”
in the Pacific Ocean. The Univer
sity of California’s Scripps Insti
tution of Oceanography said its
research ship Spencer C. Baird
would carry scientists on the ex
pedition this summer and fall.
Warren S. Wooster, who will
head the expedition, described
the scientifically unknown sea as
lying generally south of the outer
Aleutian Islands and east of
Japan.
Robert S. Dietz, U,S. Navy elec
tronics laboratory oceanographer
now in Japan, “suspects we may
well run into the deepest spot in
the ocean.”
. The Baird will sail July 17 and
explore north into the Bering Sea,
investigating among other things
the disappearing volcanic island
of Bogoslof.
Then, it will turn south in the
unknown area, about which Woo
ster reported “there are no ocean
ographic data at all.”
Scientists, during the 16,000
mile trip, will complete a survey
of the main North Pacific cur
rents and tackle what the an
nouncement described as “one of
the most complex and fascinating
research problems of the sea—to
what extent are marine creatures
prisoners of their environment?”
In other words, what controls
the abundance or scarcity of cer
tain kinds of fishes in different
areas.
It is not yet known how differ
ent fishes react to subtle changes
in ocean invironment; if, for ex
ample, an increase in the salinity
of the ocean would cause some to
avoid the area.
“Such knowledge,” the announ
cement added, “would probably
solve many fisheries problems of
economic importance, such as the
catastrophic failure of the Cali
fornia fishery in the past few
years.”
MUNSAN, W) — The Korean
armistice talks recessed until
Wednesday after another stormy
exchange Saturday over U.N. and
Communist proposals to' end the
long prisoner exchange deadlock.
The Communists angrily ac
cused U.N. negotiators of destroy
ing the “basis” of the negotiations
and called on them to “withdraw
this absurd proposal.”
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison,
charged the Reds with trying “to
corece unwilling prisoners to re
turn to unwanted masters.”
Harrison said he asked for the
three-day recess for “administra
tive reasons.” He declined to elab
orate.
Observers pointed out the re
cess would provide an opportun
ity for top-level conferences at a
time when criticism of the U.S.
position is building up among
friendly nations.
The U.S. State Department Fri
day night took the unusual step
of issuing a formal statement de
fending the “fundamental human
itarian principle” of letting pri
soners of the Korean war choose
whether they will go home.
There can be no compromise,
the State Department said in the
statement apparently aimed at
critics at home and abroad.
The department said every pos
sibility for an honorable truce
will be explored, but there can
be no agreement which would
condemn some prisoners to “in
definite captivity.”
India, Britain and Canada all
have brought pressure on the
UJS. to reach an agreement on
the basis of the Communists’ May
7 proposal.
Harrison refused to comment
on the criticism.
“I don’t know the attitude of
our government and our friends
across the seas,” he told newsmen
outside the Panmunjom confer
ence hut. “All I know is what we
are doing here.”
Harrison poihted out that inside
the hut the fundamental positions
of the two sides still are “clear
ly in opposition.”
