And the roominess of the ship
would make any World War II
submariner shake his head in
wonderment.
Special Air Systems.
To prevent carbon dioxide
from building up in the vessel
during prolonged submersion, a
chemical absorption system has
been introduced. Tanks of oxy-
gen also will be carried. And a
new machine to take oxygen out
of sea water has been developed,
assuring the crew an adequate
supply. Charcoal screens will
filter out odors. Garbage will be
disposed of through a special

The real cost of Nautilus is
difficult to estimate. 1t prob
ably is somewhere between $50
million and SIS million. a stu
pendous sum for one submarine.
But the expense cannot fairly
be charged only to this one ship.

techniQues and know-how which
have accrued to the Government
and private industry are meal

mated that three-quarters Of the

By-Product Benefits.
Here are some Of the by-prod-
uct benefits which have come
out Of the building of the worlds
first atomic-powered vessel:
l. Development of chromium.

about five years ago, chromium
was a laboratory curiosity and
cost hundreds of dollars a pound.
Now it can. be purchased for a

7. A target" in anti-subma-
rine warfare training exercises.
The simple fact that a Nautilus
is possible puts a tremendous
burden on the Navy to improve
its defenses against the subma-
rine.
And the grim fact is that q
similar craft in the hands of the
Russians would be a much graver
threat to us than Nautilus pre-
sents to them. This is so because
We offer more targets. We have
much larger surface Navy and
merchant fleet and both would
be expanded in event of war.
Also, a large percentage Of our
heavy industry and population
centers are clustered along the
seaboards and therefore vulner-
able to guided missile attack.

Kirk Douglas, recently the object

some vocal ammunition to fire

"As a son of Russian immi-

when they arrived here, they
found not gold bricks but some
thing more important-a way of
life that enabled their son to grow
up in freedom, to get a college

He said he resented the Soviet
.slurs against him because he had
been used as an instrument in an
attempt to picture Americans as
lacking in culture and education.

France Begins
Debates On
EDCTreaty
~ HARVEY HUDSON

PARIS IN - Frances National
Assembly begins its long-heralded
debate today on the explosive Eu.
ropean Defense Community issue.
But edo supporters were striving
to delay the vote they fear VIII
kill off the treaty.
AS the showdown hour ap-
preached there was much uncer-
tainty whether Premier Pierre
Mendes-France would be able 10
stay in Office amid the buffeting
from opponents and supporters Of
the treaty.
A powerful movement arose as
the Assembly was scheduled to be-
gin debate fcrmalities today with
a report On the project by Jules
Moch Of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee who Is expected to urge its
rejection.
After MOch and other committee
members make their reports Men,
des-France may take the floor to
outline his position. At this point
a move to postpone the debate may
be brought up. Highly placed in
fOrmants say the government
might b willing to accept a
delay.
Mendes.France tried his hand at
modifying the pact last week in
Brussels but he ran into a stone
wall Of opposition from the other
five countries. But the pro-EDC
elements claim the Premier de-
manded changes that were too
drastic and that he showed no will
ingness to meet the views Of the
other nations.
Talks between this group Of
treaty supporters and political
friends Of Mendes-France went on
for hours Yesterday but no decision
was reached. Finally the discus
sions were broken off for the night
after the Premier asked to think
It over until morning.
Among those maneuvering for
more time and notifications in the
treaty are former Premiers Rene
Mayer, Paul Reynaud and Robert
Schuman.
The other five nations had three
main objections to Mendes-
frances proposals:
1. They watered down the supra
national characteristics of the
treaty.
2. They Disseminated against
Germany.
;. Many of them would require
re~ratification by the parliamentS
of the nations which already had
ratified.
The resolution prepared yeSter-
day by the pro-EDC group seemed
to side-step these controversial
points.
