14 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, January 18, 1954 First Atomic Submarine Lo Be Launched Thursday By ELTON C. FAY GRTON, Conn. (AP) -- When Mamie Eisenhower smashes a bot- tle of champagne across the nose of the U.S.S. Nautilus here Thurs- day. she will be christening a ves- sel the U.S. Navy expects to be the deadliest and most versatile craft in history -- the first atomic- powered submarine. sigue for high underwater 8] 4 a and elusive iE other A-subs to follow her will be able to fight with either standard explosives or turn to nuclear mis- siles, torpedoes or mines. She will have a choice of power to drive her propellers -- atomic, diesel engine, 'electric motor. The navy is confident the sub- marine will work, even though no craft or vehicle before it -- afloat, on land or in the air -- has been propelled by the power of the atom. For months the Atomic En- ergy Commission and the navy have been test-operating an exact reproduction of the Nautilus' nu- clear power plant. Out on the Idaho desert steam from the atomic firebox has been spinning a turbine and driving a propeller like one of the two on the Nautilus. But it will be some time next summer, when the Nautilus puts out for sea trials. NAVY CONFIDENT Until then, the engineers cannot tell whether she will live up to expectations of an underwater speed of about 30 knots. Nor can ey be sure about the flexibility of power, general manoeuvrability of the ship, exact burn-out rate of atomic fuel under actual operating conditions made by the submarine when under way -- this last an important factor in working against an enemy's anti-submarine devices. The Nautilus most certainly will have "bugs." Most existing con- ventional military equipment -eplanes, tanks and guns -- had mechanical or other defects when first tried which had to be cor- rected. | But the navy is so confident it is preparing for the Nautilus all the modern armament needed when she is turned over to the fleet for combat operation. Built into her are torpedo tubes to fire the new, fast and silent electrically-driven torpedoes with target - seeking guidance system. These tubes can handle torpedoes with atomic warheads when such weapons are developed. G ED MISSILES The same procedure used in planting conventional mines can be used to release atomic mines through the torpedo tubes. The navy plans to equip the atomic submarines with gear for carrying and launching 'the guided missile named Regulus. These missiles already have been fired from submarine decks and could easily be adapted for a nu- clear explosive warhead. Exponents of the atomic submar- in poi it is virtually an all-pur- THE FIRST ATOMIC sub- marine engine contained in the land-based submarine hull shown . here, was generating power when this picture, first to be released, was taken.

Because Nautilus - class ships will operate for long periods com- pletely independent of the atmos- phere, the frozen sea capping the northern top of the world will be no obstacle.

The corporation has asked Bell Teleph C ny, Canadian Pa- cific Telegraphs and Canadian Na- tional Telegraphs for estimates on the cost of establishing networks between Toronto and Winnipeg, Winnipeg and Vancouver, and Montreal and Sydney, N.S "This will not mean national network television overnight," a CBC spokesman said, "although it is possible that work might go ahead in different areas at the same time." It has been estimated that ft would take at least until 1956 be- fore the Toronto-Winnipeg leg could be set up, Hydro Seeks | Water Rights TORONTO (CP) -- Robert H. Saunders of the Ontario Hydro commission said Sunday night the commission will not pur- chase the Canadian Niagara Power Plant at Niagara Falls, Ont., but it is negotiating for rights to the water supply now used by the plant. He was commenting on a report that the commission would take over the plant at the end of this month. Mr. Saunders said the commis- sion's giant power system now under construction at Queenston could produce twice as much wer from the water now used y the Canadian Niagara plant.
