Soblen Makes Brief
Appearance In Court
LONDON uP — Robert Soblen
made a brief appearance in court
today for the resumption of his
legal battle to escape deportation
to the United States to serve a
life term for spying.
The fi'l-year-old fugitive spy was
pale and had deep circles under
his eyes.
Soblen listened to the proceed
ings for more than half an hour.
After a whispered consultation
with one of his attorneys, he was
escorted from the courtroom.
The attorney said Soblen was in
excruciating pain from an enlarged
spleen. After resting for 40 minutes
in a side room and eating a sand
wich, Soblen returned to the court
room. His lawyers said his pre
sence was necessary because they
had to consult him from time to
time.
Soblen is suffering from leuke
mia, his attorneys claimed, and
said that he is in great pain and
that the disease has grown worse
during the seven weeks he has
lye-'n confined in Brixton prison.
Today's session was called to
hear the windup of legal arguments
in support of Soblen’s petition for
habeas corpus and the govern
ment's arguments against it.

As part of the Coast Guard's
stepped up oceanography propram,
; e icebreaker Northwind is mak
ing an extensive survey in inter
national waters adjacent to Siberia.
Currently, the Northwind is
gathering oceanography informa -
tion about the Oyashio Current
which flows to the southeast paral
lel to the' Siberian coast in the
Western Bering Sea. The Oyashio
Current is an important factor to
the fisheries industries in the Ber
ing Sea anel the North Pacific
Ocean.
A highlight of this year's patrol
is the precise positioning of the
ship by the' use e>f Loran C. The
Loran C radio waves are broad
cast from one of the world’s tallest
antenas at the Coast Guard Sta
tion Port Clarence. Alaska, a scant
the University of Wisconsin Pol
land. Loran C will enable the
Northwind to plot ocean currents
and bottom contours with extreme
accuracy.
During August the Northwind
will return to other Bering Sea
patrol duties of enforcing inter
national treaties, U.S. laws and
providing medical care to the na
tives of Northern Alaska. The
oceanographic duties of the Coast
Guard’s Bering Sea patrol have
been famous since 1867.
In September, the Northwind
will move into phase B of its ocean
ographic cruise. The ship will
gather data at 75 oceanographic
stations in the Gulf of Anadyr and
the Northern Bering Sea. This area
is important to the nourishment of
marine life. The Northwind will
stop at each station for about three
hours. During this time scientists
aboard the vessel make high pre
cision measurements of water sal
inity, temperature, dissolved oxy
gen content, and take bottom sam
ples.
In October the Northwind will
gather similar data at stations
north of Siberia and Alaska in the
Arctic Ocean. The vessel will re
supply the United States station on
Ice Island T-3, 800 miles from the
North Pole. Scientists from the
United States Research Laboratory
at Point Barrow, Alaska, will
gather information about the
earth’s crust under the Arctic
Ocean by using explosives to make
seismic observations.
Throughout the entire cruise of
the Northwind, the contours of the
ocean bottom will be determined
by continuous measurement of the
ocean depth using sonic measuring
devices. In addition, scientists from
the University of Wisconsin’s Pol
ar Research Institute will gather
information about the earth’s mag
netic field.
The Northwind which departed
Seattle on June 14, is commanded
bv Coast Guard Capt. R. R.
Waesche. The senior scientist
aboard is William Gladfelter of
the Navy Hydrographic Office.

! McNamara Says U.S.
! Must Have Bigger
Rocket Boosters
, WASHINGTON itfi — Secretary
"i Defense Hubert McNamara said
Tuesday that “I think we will not
he able to match” the Soviet twin
orbitiny of cosmonauts until the
United States has higher boosters.
But he told newsmen that the
new. Titan 111 booster, for which
a contract was awarded Monday,
would have two to three times —
closer to three — the thrust of
the launching boosters used now
by the Soviet Union.
About $800 million will be spent
fur development of the Titan
booster, he said.
McNamara said the latest Soviet
demonstration in space will not di
| rectly influence a change in mili
| tarv space spending in the next
1001 fiscal year. But “let me
hasten to add we have not ac
complished what they have; we
are behind in large space boosters.
The fiscal 1964 program, like that
for the current year, is designed
to overcome the deficiencies.”
A question was asked about re
ports that the Soviet Union now
may have the means to neutralize
U.S. missile operations. Mc
Namara’s reply was “I see no im
mediate possibility of the Soviets
being in any way able to restrict”
operations of the U.S. missile sys
tems.
Winnie Goes Home
LONDON UP — Sir Winston
Churchill went home from the hos
pital Tuesday — to the cheers of
his countrymen.
The old warrior waved a big
cigar to the throng outside Mid
j dlesex Hospital where he had spent
54 days recovering from a broken
hip.
Sir Winston was brought out of
the hospital in a carrying chair.
Sitting up, he was smoking the
cigar. He was placed in nn am
bulance which took him to his
home in Hyde Park in London’s
Kensington district.
A large crowd waited for him
there too.
Both_ when he left the hospital
and 15 minutes later when he
reached Hyde Park gate, a big
<. hoer went up. Some perhaps were
a bit disappointed that the war
time prime minister did not flash
his famous V-for-Victory sign.

!uv<\sUkd for AHA
Projects in Alaska
WASHINGTON IJ» — Nearly
■"'* ■’ ni i I lion has been invested by
,ht‘ AI'A Redevelopment Adminis
,l'atlon »n Alaska projects during
die past la months, acting Adminis
trator Harold Williams said Mon
day.
The projects, which will help
create some approximately 850 new
jobs, are only the beginning of
Alaska's participation in the Econ
omic Development Aid Program,
Williams said.
In date, nine ARA programs
approved for the state include
four technical assistance projects,
to study means of creating new in
dustry and jobs, and a public fa
cility loan to Saxman.
Also approved were four job
re-training prog r a m s involving
$100,000 for tuition and subsistence
allowances to help jobless workers
acquire new skills.
Eligible to take part in the ARA
program are 27 Alaska counties
which qualify because of sub
stantial and persistent unemploy
ment or under-employment.
Williams said three loan and
grant applications are being pro
cessed by ARA, the Small Business
Administration and Community Fa
cility Administration. These could
lead to a federal investment of $1.6
million and help create nearly 900
jobs, he added.
Another 25 projects are in the
local development stage and could
mean an additional $4.2 million in
federal funds and 2.400 more jobs,
Williams said.
U.S. National Debt Now
Past $300 Billion Mark
WASHINGTON <4>) — Tire na
tional debt has risen past $300
billion for the first time.
As of Aug. 15, the Treasury an
nounced Monday, the total public
debt was S300,133,027,610.51.
That is about $1,600 for every
man, woman and child in the
country. The per capita debt figure,
however, is well below the World
War II high of nearly $2,000 be
cause the population his increased
faster than the debt.
The debt now is subject to a
temporary limit of $308 bullion.
This will drop to $305 billion next
April, 5 to $300 billion June 25
and to $283 billion — the per
manent ceiling — next July 1.
