Rear Admiral Albert G. Num-
ma. the Nays Bureau of Ships
chief, says the Navy is training
more than 1000 men each year
as nuclear technicians to man
the atomic vessels now being
built.
The pool Of technically trained
young men, upon whom the Navy
could draw. is nowhere near
adequate This. Admiral Num-
ma explains. compels the service
to educate its own nuclear spe-
|cialiSts.
Up to now, most Of the spe-
.cialists in atomic reactor opera
tons have been trained by the
Navy and the Atomic Energy
Commission in connection with
the building of the first nuclear
submarine, the Nautilus, and the
operation Of land-baSed reactors
which are prototypes for power
plants to go into other subma-
rines. Admiral Mumma told
Inewsmen recently.
5 Programs Set Up
Last month, the Navy an
Inounced Its training effort has
been organized into three pro-
grams:
1-For atomic submarine op-
Grafton
2. For nuclear powered surface
ships.
3. Package" power reactors,
such as the experimental one now
being built by the Army. which
could be transported in sections,
set up and used anywhere as a
temporary power source.
The submarine-surface ship
program is split into two phases
l-operational and basic. The
basic course is at New London,
Conn. the big submarine base
from which the Nautilus oper-
ates. That course covers a 81
week period.
Still Working on Details
The operational course a "a
week term, is conducted both at
Idaho Falls, Idaho. and Science

actors are located.

The Agriculture Department
told an inquiring Congress yes
terday that a food-stamp plan
for improving diets would cost
the Government between $500
million and SIS billion a year,
depending on it's scope.
The cost would be 5000 million
if the plan we're limited to per-
sons receiving some kind Of
welfare assistance. 1t would be
SIS billion If all persons we're
assured diets costing an average
Iof $3.50 a week, based on pur-
Ichases by a four-person family.
The department made these
estimates in a report requested
by the last Congress. Legislators
had asked the department to
study stamp plans as a means
of preventing the further ac-
cumulation of surplus farm
products in the hands of the
Government.
The department itself made
no recommendations as to
whether a stamp plan should
be authorized by Congress.

quested by Congress, the depart

anyone else in history.
President Eisenhower, renew
ing fond wishes in a close per-
sonal friendship, recalls that Mr.
Rayburn since 1918 has repre-
sented the congressional district
which includes Denison, Tex,
the Presidents birthplace.
Born in Tennessee
The acclaim on this 18th
birthday is even bigger than
Texas. The Speaker, a stickler
for accuracy in reporting, would
be the first to declare he was
born in Tennessee.
The business Of being the
Speaker of a House began almost
a half century ago in the Texas
legislature where he served six
years before coming to Washing
ton as a bachelor of 81. He is
still a bachelor.
Down the years he has stayed
in the House, seven Presidents
have occupied the White House.
He has seen eight other Speak
ers, from Champ Clark to his
Republican colleague and friend,
Joseph w. Martin, jr.
In years past he often was
given more than an outside
chance of reaching the pinnacle
of the presidency. Yet. at the
age of rs he stands on the
Speakers dais with practically
all of the power and respect that
a man could reasonably wish.

Recruiting Plan
Enables Navy
To Drop Draft
BY l.. EDGAR PRINA


The Navy, after a years oper-
alton Of the Holloway Master
Recruiting Plan. is once again
relying solely on volunteers tc
meet its personnel needs. and
top Navy officials say they dc
not intend to use the draft this
fiscal year.
The plan. which was put into
effect by Vice Admiral James l.
Holloway. IT,, chief of naval per-
sonnet, in late 1855, sets forth
policies and procedures for boil
steering the Nays enlistment
efforts.
1t emerged after manpower ex-
perts concluded that the Navy
would have to go to Selectiyc
Service for the first time since
1916 as the result of a critical
personnel situation caused by the
expiration of large numbers of
Korean War enlistments. The
estimated need for fiscal 1856
was $4,000 draftees.
Quota Topped
Admiral Holloway drew up the
master recruiting plan in Sep
TENDER. 1855. He appointed a
special committee. now headed
by Rear Admiral Roy S. Benson
to monitor it. Result: Recruiters
topped their quota by IL per
cent, re-enlistments spurted and
only 10000 draftees were called.
The surge of volunteers is con-
tinuing. The target for this fiscal
year is $4,000, and 1882 new
men were accepted in the first
four months.
Captain John L. Counihan, ex-
ecutive secretary of the commit
tee. said cautiously that I'VE are
now seeing daylight" but added
quickly that there could be no
let-up in the drive for better
and better men because of the
increasing completely Of the
ships and planes of the fleet.
Would Like Rise
In the UNDERGRADUATES we
took only one in 10 volunteers, -
he said. "Of course, we had a
much smaller Navy then. Today
we accept about one Of every
two who apply. We would like
to have a so per cent rise in vol
unteers-then we could select
one in three"
But while the recruiting pic
ture is satisfactory, If not ideal,
the business of re-enlistment of
first termerS "-those men COM
pletins their first hitch-is draw
ing increased attention from
Navy worrierS.
Top officers say that in order
to maintain proportion in
overall strength of professional
enlisted personnel the Navy each
year must re-enlist 25 per cent
Of its first termers. Two years
ago the rate was at a record low
Of 4 per cent. And although it
has tripled since. it is still a long
way from the desired level. The
Navy hopes to get there before

By ROBERT X. WALSH

Speaker Sam Rayburn, the

Political party lines at the
Capitol and White House as well

Despite his sometimes flinty
and grim exterior. Mr.. Rayburn
only partly succeeded in hiding
his emotion when remembering

suppose he seldom smiles should
have heard him when newspaper
reporters who daily meet him

II won't have thing to say
about it until l look into it," he
said sternly before the press
got a word in. He was referring
to the Presidents message. The
reporters were thinking about
his birthday and held an ad-
mittedly faint hope he might
comment on that noncontro-
versial subject. They burst into
a song resembling Happy Birth
day to You"
The Speaker was startled as
well as speechleSs. Then he
burst into a hearty and happy
laugh.

bility of a mild struggle over the
NCAA television plan. The Big
Ten and Pacific Coast Confer
ences, although favoring a con-
trolled program. have cam
paigned for years for emphasis
on regional rather than coast
forecast telecasts. It's believed,
however, the 1857 plan will be
similar to those of the last two
years-eight national and five
regional dates.
The TV Committee. headed by
Executive Secretary Howard
Grubbs Of the Southwest Con-
ference, will make its recommen-
dations to the convention today.
The matters of recruiting and
financial aid to athletes will &C.
cupy an important position on
the conventions agenda.
