Freighter Runs
Over Nuclear
Sub USS Permit
SAN FRANCISCO — A 12,000
ton freighter ran over the 9-month
old nuclear submarine, USS Per
mit, 30 miles at sea Wednesday
night but both reached port yester
day, although damaged.
There were no injuries among
the 140 men and officers aboard
the Permit.
The submarine, on a test run
with 25 trial board evaluation of
ficers, was run over while sub
merged near the Farallon Islands.
The Matson freighter Hawaiian
Citizen, which passed over the sub,
reported hull damage at the No. 4
hold and docked at San Francisco
after making sure the submarine
was safe.
A Navy spokesman said the only
damage to the submarine was
bending of the doors to “the sail,”
or conning tower. These doors do
not lead to the interior of the sub
marine, but are part of the stream
lined tower enclosure.
The crew had to force these
doors open, however, after the col
lision before the radio antenna
could be raised and the crew’s
condition reported to the craft
standing by.
The Permit was on a preliminary
acceptance test run. It left the
Mare Island shipyard in San Fran
cisco Bay early Tuesday with Lt.
Cmdr. Ernest Barrett of Vicks
burg, Miss., in charge.
His account of the accident was
concise:
“When the freighter passed over
the top of the sail, it caused a
slight roll to the submarine.”
“What did the crew say when
it happened?” he was asked. “Did
anyone say, ‘what the hell hap
pened’?”
“I think that’s what I said,” the
commander replied.
SHARP EARTHQUAKE
ROCKS ANCHORAGE AREA
ANCHORAGE UP) — A sharp
earthqauke rocked Alaska’s largest
city and surroundings areas at 2:05
p.m. Wednesday.
There were no immediate re
ports of any appreciable damage.
The tremor, followed by several
seconds of swaying motion, rattled
windows in homes and businesses
and toppled a few dishes in some
residential areas.
It was apparently felt only by
persons in buildings and dwellings.
Many said it was one of the strong
est they had experienced here.
Reports reaching Anchorage from
Cordova, Valdez and Seward indi
cated the shock was quite severe
in those cities. Again, however,
there were no reports of any major
damage.
At Seattle, it was reported the ;
University of Washington seismo- 1
graph was inoperative at the time <
due to heavy construction on the •
campus.
Fairbanks apparently felt the
tremor, too, but it was relatively
mild in the Interior Alaska city.
A survey has found that the
television set is the home gadget
that needs the most repairs. Least
trouble - prone, in order, were the
kitchen refrigerator, stove, sewing
machine and electric iron.

spaceman Gherman S. Titov for his
remark in the United States that
he saw neither God nor angels’*
during his 17 orbits of the earth.
“It was no wonder that Titov

his flight,” said the Vatican broad

Glenn Jr., a believer, see them.
But he invoked them, certain that
they saw him.”
