Navy Builds l**c Pool
For Nuclear Submarines
SAN DIEGO, Calif. W — An ico
pool, under which Arctic condi
tions in a nuclear submarine will
be simulated, is nearing completion
at the Navy Electronics Labora
tory.
Sheets of ice will fill the 16
foot deep pool with a laminated
ice pack. A shaft under the pool
has the same dimensions as a sub
marine’s conning tower — 48 feet
deep and 10 feet in diameter. It
will be the study chamber.
Dr. Waldo Lyon, laboratory
physioist who has made trips in
nuclear submarines under the
Arctic Ocean, said: ‘We have
learned all we can about the
Arctic ice by going to the Arctic
and working with it. Now we have
to work with it under controlled
conditions.”
He said he and other laboratory
scientists would attempt to learn
more about how ice forms in salt
water, how its crystals are ar
ranged, what happens to the salt
brine that is left after the water
freezes, how to measure the salinity
of the ice and the laws that deter
mine its elasticity and strength at
various stages of formation.
Scientists Hope to Raise
Stronger Breed of Salmon
SEATTLE — Scientists hope
to raise a stronger breed of salmon
by putting them through the
school of hard rocks.
Samuel Hutchinson, Regional Di
rector of the U S. Bureau of Com
mercial Fisheries, said Thursday
the Bureau is experimenting with
raising salmon in gravel-filled
cradles.
The cradles are set beside
streams and water is diverted into
them. Salmon eges are packed be
tween layers of gravel and when
the young fish hatch, they’ll have
to fight their way into the stream,
Hutchinson said.
Scientists think the hard knocks
the salmon get will make them
stronger. Also, the cradles will pro
tect the young salmon from flood
ing, silt and predators.
The experiment is being car
ried out by the bureau biologists
at the Carson Depot Springs Sta
tion on the Columbia River and at
two locations in Oregon.

C'vihernc'ke Were
T’cady to Invade Cuba
WASHINGTON W — Some
45,000 Marines stood ready to in
vade Cuba — “awaiting their gov
ernment’s decision — during the
October crisis, Gen. David Shoup
said Thursday.
And 100,000 more Leathernecks
were “ready to back them up,” the
Marine Commandant added in re
marks prepared for his annual
speech to the headquarters staff.
Shoup’s reference to the force
was the first disclosure of how
many Marines were poised aboard
ihips of the fleet and on shore
bases before the Soviets agreed to
withdraw its missiles.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. W — A man
took a cab to a branch bank Wed
nesday, robbed the bank of $2,150,
made his getaway in the cab and
left the unknowing woman driver
a 10-cent tip.
The cabbie, Katrina Wright, said
she drove the man to a corner near
the bank. “He told me to wait
while he paid his insurance,” she
said.
He returned in a few moments
carrying a paper sack, she said,
and asked to be driven to a point
several blocks away.
When he got out, Miss Wright
said, he gave her a dollar for the
90-cent fare and told her to keep
the change.

pee Asylum In
1 r S. Embassy
MOSCOW CP — A determined
little band of Siberian peasants
forced their way into the U.S. Em
bassy Thursday, seeking refuge
from alleged religious persecu
tion by Soviet officials.
Nearly four hours later, the
group of about 32 men, women
and children was taken from the
embassy grounds in a Soviet bus,
still protesting loudly.
Soviet officials said they would
be taken to a hotel.
It was the first such protest
veteran Western observers in Mos
cow could remember.
The Siberian dressed peasants ,
said they had come from Cherno- j
gorsk, a Siberian town about 2,100
miles east of Moscow.
They said they were fleeing
from persecution by local officials
who threatened to jail them and
take their children away from
them.
The group’s leaders, who said
they were Evangelican Christians,
a Protestant sect, bitterly protest
ed.
“We don’t want to go anywhere,”
they said. “They will shoot us. Let
us be sent to any country. It
doesn’t matter. There is no place
for us here — no place to go.”
Finally they straggled into the
bus, apparently resigned to stay
ing in the Soviet Union. They had
told embassy officials they wanted
to go to Israel.
An embassy official said later
the group had heard somewhere
about the right of asylum. They
said they thought they could seek
asylum in foreign embassies in
Moscow.
AMBASSADOR KOHLER ACTED
IN ACCORDANCE TO PRINCIPLE
WASHINGTON UP) — U.S. Am
bassador Foy Kohler did not ask
for instructions from the State De
partment before turning over to
Soviet officials the Siberian pea
sants seeking refugee Thursday in
the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
State Department officials said
Kohler acted in accordance with
the principle that the United States
does not recognize granting asylum
of embassies or consular offices.
There fore, they said there was
no need for specific instructions.
They said Kohler had filed a de
tailed report on the incident.

SUBJECT TO JURISDICTION
OF MARITIME COMMISSION
JUNEAU UP) — The Alaska State
Ferry System is not subject, in
any way, to the jurisdiction of the

Downing, Hayes also said the

Commission, specifically excluded
ferryboats running on a regular
schedule from jurisdiction of the
FMC.

rency per head is Switzerland with

the least is Indonesia with $2.15.
