Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif. for duty under instruction in the General Line Course. Lt. Pearson completed a tour of duty in the Key West area as ASW Project and Scheduling Offi- cer on the Staff of Surface Anti- Submarine Development Detach- ment. Pearson enlisted in the Navy in 1940 and his first assignment was on the USS Brooklyn (CL 40), where he attained the rating of fire controlman second class. In 1943 he was selected for V-12 training and was assigned to Lawrence College, Appleton, Wis. He was commissioned an Ensign in the t4\|Naval Reserve ‘n January 1945.

Their admissions at an open hearing Thursday drew praise from Sen. Homer Ferguson (R— Mich.), member of the Senate In- ternal Security subcommittee prob- ing alleged American subversives in the U. N. Praised by Ferguson were John Charnow, a reports officer for the U.N. International Children’s Em- ergency Fund, and Mrs, Evelyn Thaler, secretary ‘to Konstantin E.

Asked why he joined the party, Charnow said: “To search for answers to the world’s problems. I discovered very quickly it was not the place to find the answers. It was not possible to suggest any ideas dif- fering from the party line.” Mrs. Thaler testified she joined the Communist party, in 1942 for about a year. : She said she has given the sub- committee the names of those be- longing to an all-girl party, unit in New York City. Asked why she joined, Mrs. Thaler replied: “I was stupid. I didn’t think it meant anything and I got bored and went away.” COMSERVLANT HEAD ON INSPECTION TOUR Rear Admiral James E. Maher, USN, Commander Service Force, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, Norfolk, Va., will arrive Sunday, Dec. 14, at Bo- ca Chica Airfield at approximate- 1300. Adm. Maher is returning from Polar Sea Ice By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (® — The leagues of thick polar sea ice which stand between the northern rims of the Western Hemisphere and Eurasia may be no barrier to the atomic submarines the U. S. is now build- That was made evident here by replies from the Navy to ques- tions about the nuclear engined submarines it is developing—sub- mersibles in which the crew as well as the boat can remain deep down for days, weeks or possibly months. The northern approach to the mainlands of Russia and Canada, for example, always had been been closed by the great areas of frozen seas or unyielding pack ice through which no craft could force its way—until the advent of long range planes. But an article written for Col- lier’s magazine - by Rear Adm. Homer Wallin, chief of the Bureau San Juan, P. R. and will inspect;of Ships, spoke cryptically of the Key West facilities before leaving for Norfolk, Va. the following Tues- day morning, ability of atomic submarines to launch guided missiles. with atomic warheads and then slide silently May Be No Bar To New. US Atomic Submarines beneath the waves “or ice” to re- appear at another point to launch guided missiles with atomic war- heads and then slide silently be- neath the waves “or ice” to re- appear at another point to launch another attack. A reporter who asked Navy of- ficials about this was told: “It is possible for even conven- tional submarines to operate under ice. Since a conventional subma- rine’s submerged endurance is limited by its batteries, and it | must have air for operating its engines to recharge its batteries, it has a limited endurance for un- der ice operation. : “The Nautilus (first of the atomic powered boats to be started), which will be independent of the earth’s atmosphere, will, therefore, be able to operate under ice for longer periods of time. It makes no difference whether the ice is solid or mushy as long as there is sufficient depth of water beneath the ice to permit sub- marine operation.” (The Arctic Sea apparently has plenty of water beneath the ice, at eyes! for some ery near land masses. cent sor ings have shown fics feet | of water at the North’ Pole.) Wallin mentioned that the Naw tilus would be able to dive deeper than any present, conventional sub- marine. Navy officials, in reply to a question about this, said cau- tiously that “greater depth for the Nautilus, as with any other sub- marine, could be made possible by making her’ pressure hull stronger through the use of greater weight or greater steel strength.” The atomic power plant wil! re- quire no air in creating ihe super- heat to produce steam for the pro- pulsion turbine, and thus can re- main under water as long as the fuel lasts. This can be a long time—the fission of one pound of uranium releases energy equal to et combustion of 2,600,000 tons of That left the question of how long the crew of an atomic sub- mersible could stay down, out of the earth’s atmosphere. Wallin said the Bureau of Ships is working on a gadget to take oxygen from the water, and that this may be ready for use in the Nautilus. In addition to the problem of providing air, the Navy is study- ing othér physiological and psycho- logical problems of men living for prolonged periods confined in a sub. Third — Start to dial. The number you want is 2-2599. Put your finger in the opening over the figure “2" — the telephone is kept off, of course — and turn the dial around to the right as far as you can. Then lift your finger and let the dial turn back without touching it. Fourth — Now dial the rest of the numiber — the “2,” the “5,” the “9,” and the “9,” just as you did the “2.” SOON — unless the line is busy — you'll hear a sound something like THIS HANDY DIRECTORY OF NEW DIAL PHONE NUMBERS! FOR OPPERATING KEY WEST'S DIAL PHONE SYSTEM EFFICIENTLY this; “burr-r-ring (pause) burr-r-ring (pause) burr-r-ring (pause) burr-t- ring (pause).” This is the RINGING SIGNAL. It tells you 2-2599 is being rung. (You should let this ringing continue for a-reasonable length of time, to give the people you're calling a chance to answer.) If the line you are calling is in use, you'll hear the BUSY SIGNAL. This is a “buzz - buzz - buzz” — louder and quicker than the Ringing Sig- nal. When you hear this, just hang up and try again later. Hike Of Commerce DIAL 2-2010 Weather Bureau DIAL 2-2011 OR 2-6922 NO. 1 STATION _____ POINCIANA. STATION Tt POLICE DEPT. 2-6913. | FIRE DEPT.
