$2.98 Toy Reveals
Secrets Of The
Polaris Submarine
WASHINGTON W) — A $2.98
toy model of the Polaris sub
marine has given the Soviet
Union millions of dollars worth
of information about U.S. nuclear
submarines, says Vice Adm. Hy
man G. Rickover.
“I am aghast that this was
done,” Rickover, father of the
nuclear sub, told the Joint At
omic Energy subcommittee in
year-old secret testimony which
has just been made public.
Rickover said the model “which
can be bought at the dime store,”
was built in accordance with of
ficial navy blueprints and gives
accurate details of the ship’s di
mensions including the size of
its nuclear reactor compartment.
“If I were a Russian I would
be most grateful to the United
States for its generosity in sup
plying such information for
$2.98,” he said. “A good ship de
signer can spend one hour on
that model and tell he h^s mil
lions of dollars worth of free in
formation.”
Rickover said the information
on the size of the reactor com
partment is the most vital given
away by the model. It also in
dicates the size of the crew need
ed to operate it “and all sorts of
other things,” he said.
“I certainly would like to have
similar information on their sub
marines,” Rickover added.
The admiral’s testimony was
given aboard the George Wash
ington, the first U.S. Polaris sub
marine, while it was cruising 400
feet below the surface of the
ocean on a trial run in 1960.
Rickover blamed interservice
rivalry in which the Army, Navy
and Air Force vied for public
approval, for leading to the re
lease of the Polaris information
to a toy manufacturer.
“Our internal military contro
versy is so great there is a tend
ency for each service wholeheart
edly to fight the others in order
to achieve its own objectives,” he
said.
At the Pentagon, a spokesman
asked about Rickover’s testimony,
replied:
“The Navy has on occasion pro
vided unclassified photographs,
artists conceptions, and when
available unclassified blueprints
of various Navy 9hips to various
model manufacturers. The Navy
has not provided blueprints of
Polaris submarines to such manu
facturers.”
Rickover said additional val
uable information about compo
nents of the nuclear submarine
is released by the manufacturers,
who include in advertisements
pictures of the parts they make.

Two Men Admit
Blowing Up Micro

SAN DIEGO, Calif. UPl — In

a young mining engineer have
admitted the $850,000-bombing of
three Utah-Nevada communica

Police • at Ensenada, Mexico, a
port city 75 miles south of here,
arrested bearded Bernard Jerome

Chris Jensen, 23, U. S. citizens,
Saturday night aboard Brous’
yacht laden with arms—machine
guns, rifles and ammunition.
Sunday night Mexican author

border at Tiajuana and turned
them over to the FBI. Agents took
them before a San Diego U. S.
Commissioner, who ordered them

Taken into custody for question
ing with them and brought here
were Brous’ wife, Minnie, 40, a
former dancer and model, and
Robert Gerald Bortoli, 28, a Reno,
Nev., gambling house dealer.
Both said they knew nothing
of the bombings. Mrs. Brous told
newsmen she thought the ex
plosives on the yacht were to be
used in hunting sunken treasure
off Peru. Bortoli said he was a
guest for skin-diving.
Mexican authorities said Brous
and Jensen admitted blowing up
the two micro-wave towers and
a relay station on May 28. The
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. estimated the damage at about
$850,000.
A copyright story in the San
Diego Union quoted the two as
saying the sabotage was in be
half of the “American Republi

A Mexican official said Brous
told him the army was intended
to fight what Brous termed of

system, including the FBI and
the big business.

Eisenhower Critical of
Kennedy Administration
Spending Policies
NEW YORK i/Pi — Former Pres
j ident Eisenhower has criticised
j the Kennedy Administration’s
I spending policies and decries
what he terms “the centraliza
tion of political power in the
federal government.”
Eisenhower appeared Sunday
on an hour-long NBC telecast,
“The Loyal Opposition.” With him
on the program, a series of sepa
rate interviews previously filmed
in several parts of the country,
were former Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon, Sen. Barry Gold
water, and New York Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller.
Said Eisenhower: “. . . put it
this way: we are for a maximum
liberty of the individual, and the
minimizing of all this power that
has taken over our lives by the
federal government.”
Eisenhower said the Kennedy
Administration apparently intends
to transfer more responsibility to
the federal government “throu h
unneeded appropriations, through
unnecessarily large programs
that they class as humanitarian.”
Such policies, he said, tended
to “undermine the national char
acter.”
Eisenhower exhorted the Re
publicans to stand on the GOP’s
1960 platform and oppose Ken
nedy’s proposals if they run
counter to that platform.
Nixon, Rockefeller and Gold
water all were sharply critical of
what they termed Kennedy’s fail
ure to develop a strong policy to
curb Communist advances.
to the organization,” Brous said.
The communications towers
were key links in nationwide
communications. They handled
telephone and telegraph circuits
for public use and circuits in U. S.
defense operations.
Located in the desert, the sta
| tions are automatic and normally
| unmanned. They are part of
' AT & T’s system of relaying sig
nals by line of sight. The blasts
caused only minor disruption of
military circuits because equip
ment automatically switched mes
sages to another system.
Ensenada police said they went
aboard the 42-foot ketch, The
Monsoon, Saturday on a tip that
heavily armed persons were living
aboard.
The yacht’s arsenal included
two 50-caliber machine guns,
three carbines, three rifles, a
shotgun and 1,500 rounds of 22
millimeter and 30-caliber ammuni
tion.
U.S. Dollar Achieves
Parity with Canadian
NEW YORK — A Canadian
i dollar closed here Friday night at
i par with the U.S. dollar, the low
| est point it has reached in more
than five years.
In Montreal, however, the Can
adian dollar closed at $1 and 1-32
of a cent in U.S. funds.
The decline in New York was
accelerated with an announce
i ment Friday by Canadian Finance
Minister Fleming of a $345,500,000
deficit for the fiscal year ended
March 31.
Also contributing to the drop
1 was the dispute between Fleming
| and James Coyne, whom the gov
ernment is trying to fire as chief
of the Bank of Canada.
Fleming told Parliament that
Coyne had advocated restrictive
economies while the government
seeks an expansionist policy.
Coyne takes a more conserva
tive view and holds only this can
bring full recovery from an ec
onomic slump that kept unem
ployment at more than 10 per
cent through the winter.
The government has indicated
it will seek legislative action to
oust Coyne from his $50,000-a
year post. Prime Minister John
Diefenbaker’s cabinet wants
Coyne to resign but he refuses.

“We wish to make clear that
the Alaska State Chamber of
Commerce does not protest con
tinued operation of the present
North Star supply ship,” the let
ter stated. “Continued operation
at present appears a necessity to
existence of Alaskan natives in
small remote villages.”
The letter charged however,
that proposed government opera
tion of a large Victory class ship
in Alaska “will be inefficient and
an unwarranted waste of public
funds.” The letter to President
Kennedy added: “Expansion of
Alaskan government shipping op
eration appears diametrically op
posed to your action terminating
the Panama government-operated
shipping service.”
The Chamber says the proposed
ship would be comparable to the
largest in Alaska service, and
much larger than the majority of
the ships operated by private
carriers. “Maintenance of such a
large vessel operating only two
trips a year will certainly great
ly increase annual deficits of pre
sent service, estimated at $500,
