Nautilus Receives
Hero’s Welcome
PORTLAND, England, —
The crew of the U.S. submarine
Nautilus arrived Tuesday for a
hero’s welcome after an epic
voyage under the north polar
icecap.
< Blaring bands, bagpipes and
clfeers greeted the big atomic
powered submarine as she was
docked.
In fleeting sunshine the crew
reached land for the first time
since leaving Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, on July 23 for the first
voyage under the Arctic ice by
way of the North Pole.
Men of the Nautilus shouted
and waved as they ended their i
8,145-mile journey.
For the captain of the Nauti
lus, Cmdr. William R. Anderson,
of Waverly, Tenn., it was the
second landing.
Last week he was flown by
helicopter and airplane from the
wet deck of his sub to the White
House where he received the
legion of merit from President
Eisenhower.
Early Tuesday afternoon he
was reunited with his 115 men
and officers. A helicopter
whirled him from shore to the
Nautilus as it neared this naval
port.
A crew member said the
Nautilus emerged into the open
sea after traveling under the
North Pole icecap within 10 miles
of the spot reckoned by her navi
gators.
“We did not really expect to be
tiiat accurate,” said Lt. Shepherd
M. Jenks of San Francisco, navi
gator of the nuclear-powered
submarine. “W e thought w e
might have been even 100 miles
out.”

Atomic Warhead
Set Off 60 Miles
In Outer Space
HONOLULU, WP!—The U.S. blas
ted off a guided missile with an
atomic warhead from Johnston
Island. The flash lit the skies
so that it was seen by many in
the Hawaiian Islands, 700 miles
to the northwest.
A civil engineer in Honolulu,
using four methods of reckoning
estimated the explosion of the
nuclear warhead occurred at a
height of “at least 60 miles.”
The warhead apparently was
put aloft on an Army Redstone
rocket. That was the type mis
sile used in a similar test at
Johnston Island on Aug. 1.
Some experts believed it blasted
off at slightly more than 40
miles in the air, far above any
previous known level for a nu
clear explosion.
The firings are reported to be
part of the effort to develop an
anti-missile missile. Such a nu
clear warhead would be detonated
against enemy intercontinental
ballistic missiles while they were
in space.
In Washington, .the Atomic
Energy Commission put out this
terse explanation in a statement:
“The test detonation of a nu
clear warhead in a missile oc
curred above the Johnston Is
land area in the Pacific Tuesday.
The test is part of the hardtack
nuclear weapons test series.”
The blast came on the heels of
report by a 15-nation U.N. scien
tific committee Sunday that even
a slow increase in world radio
activity from nuclear tests and
other sources endanger man
kind’s future health.
While agreeing unanimously
that even the smallest amounts
of radiation may cause harmful
genetic and perhaps physical ef
fects, the committee turned down
a Soviet demand that they call
for an immediate end to nuclear
tests.

Senators Favor
Promotion For
Adm. Rickover
WASHINGTON, W) — A group
of Democratic senators has de
manded that the Navy promote
Rear Adm. H. G. Rickover. They
said he will be forced into re
tirement in a year or so unless
he is upped to three star rank.
Navy Department officials,
however, said the demands for
Rickover’s promotion apparently
based on a misunderstanding of
the rules—that retention in ser
vice and a move to higher rank
are two separate matters.
Rickover’s record, however, is
due for review anytime after a
year from now to determine
whether he should be retired.
That holds true for any flag of
ficer who has been seven years
in one grade.
As yet, the Navy hasn’t said
one way or the other whether the
58-year-old Rickover will be
moved up to vice admiral. Rick
over was a moving force in devel
opment of the first U.S. atomic
submarine.
The senators Monday night re
called the fight that occurred in
1953 when Rickover was pro
moted from captain after the
intercession of members of Con
gress and then Secretary of Navy
Robert Anderson. A board of
admirals, which controls pro
motions, twice passed over Rick
over.
Senate'Approves Small
Boat Safety Bill
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee Monday approved the small
boat safety bill recently passed
by the House.
The measure would require,
all motor boats of more than TVz
horsepower to be numbered for
identification, either by states or
Coast Guard.
It would provide civil penal
ties of up to $100 .for reckless or
negligent operation of boats and
require boat operators to offer
assistance to others involved in
accidents.
