us to reappraise overall storage plans and needs

ENJOYS Urge Y. 5.
To Calm Caribbean

Secretary Of State for Inter-
American Affairs, told a news
conference the United States
will offer technical advice for
such regional marketing prof.
ects and viii help finance any
industries that develop.
Want Common Market
Mr.. Rubottom reported the
sentiment for a common mar
ket has been particularly out
spoken in Central America"
The common market plan Of
reducing tariffs and other trade
barriers appeals to the five
Central American republics FL
Salvador. Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Panama. All
are small, and none is econom-
ically self-sufiicient.
Mr.. Rubottom said the fiuc-
tuating prices on basic COM
modities is the No. l problem
the Americas face.
After the ambassadors dis
cussed the threat Of exiles from
Haiti. Nicaragua and the Do
minican Republic to invade
their homelands, Mr.. Rubottom
expressed belief. that any
threats to peace in the Carib-
bean area could be met by the
GAS. He said the GAS has
met such threats in the past
either through the Inter-
American Peace Committee or
by the treaty of Rio de Janeiro,
pledging Joint action against
aggression.

Admirers of a pint-sized ma
val engineer will witness his
reception of a gold medal
Wednesday and hope that GER
tain high officials will get the
point.
Scene of the drama will be
the auditorium of the new Sem
ate Office Building. Donor of
the medal is all of Congress
by unanimous vote. The re-
cipient could be only one man
Vice Admiral Lyman G. Rick
over, father of the atomic sub
marine and civilian atomic
power and center of a war that
has ragged in Washington off,
cialdom for more than seven
years.
The $500 solid-gold medal
is a salvo in that war. Con-
greSsmen - particularly mem
berS of the Joint Atomic Energy
Committee - admire the Adj
miral immensely for his ability
and for his battles against the
Pentagon way of doing things.
There are those in the upper
reaches OF the Pentagon and
other branches of the Govern
ment who wish he would dis
appear. Many of the latter
have been invited to WedneS-
days ceremony.
First Request Ignored
The Joint Committee late in
1857 asked the Acc and indi-
rectly the Navy and the Presi-
dent to decorate the Admiral.
The request was ignored. So
last year Congress voted it's
own medal for Admiral Rick
over. Just so this fact will not
be overlooked by executive
agencies, the Joint Committee
Is planning a large ceremony.
Specifically invited are all of
the Admirals bosses in the
ACC, where he is chief of the
Naval Reactor Branch, and the
Navy, where he is Assistant
Chief of the Bureau of Ships.
His Naval Superiors have twice
tried to retire him. His Acc
Superiors have been less openly
antagonistic, but in the days
when Commerce Secretary
Lewis Strauss was Acc chair
man. they held their end of a
lively feud.
Also invited are James C.
Hagerty, presidential press Sec
rotary who once said Admiral
Rickover was not invited to a
White House ceremony honor
ing his first atomic submarine
because there wasn't enough
room for him.
Captains of industry, who
are treated like lowliest Swab-
bies by the Admiral, are invited,
too.
Strauss Not on List
Mr.. Strauss has not been in
vited specifically to attend,
because as Secretary of Com
merce he is no longer directly
concerned. But to indicate he
would be welcome. the Joint
Committee has announced that
everyone is cordially invited"
Few men have been honored
similarly by Congress.
That Admiral Rickover
should be one of them is a
result of his technical contri-
buttons and also a by-product
of his-as he puts it himself
peculiar personality" Also in
volved are the chronological
changes going on in the Navy
and administrative disputes be-

victims with such words as:
We'll carve your face so your
own mother won't know you"
Judge Sydney j. Hoffman

said, was a member of a North

SAN SALVADOR, Ell Saliva
dor. April II (AP).-American
ambassadors to countries Of

to efforts to restore "a more

Twelve ambassadors. meet

A comn.unique issued after

There's q Point Behind
Medal for Rickover

tween "the Hill" and down.
town."
AS one of the AdmiralPs old
subordinates said: Everything
good you hear about Admiral
Rickover is true. And every
thing bad you hear is true,
too"
On the good side is his
ability, as an engineer and ad-
Illustrator, to produce nuclear-
powered submarines and other
| Naval ships faster than had
been thought possible. He
pushed the nuclear sub project
before other military men saw
Its value.
Planned Civilian ReactOr
Also, he developed the first
full-scale nuclear power plant
for all-civilian use-the Ship
pingport (Pa.) reactor which
feeds electrical power into the
Pittsburgh area.
He engineered two promo
tions when his superiorS really
wanted to retire him. Now he
outranks his boss, Rear Ad-
miral Albert G.. Mumma, chief
of the Bureau of Ships, who,
of course has been invited to
Wednesdays medal presenta-
ton.
The White House has
snubbed him publicly. So has
the Secretary of the Navy (who
invited other AdmiralS' wives
to christen Admiral Rickover's
submarines). So has the Acc
(which failed to invite him to
the dedication of the Shipping
port reactor).
But Congress points out each
lapse and pressures a correc-
ton.
In the bipartisan, almost
unanimous praise he gets in
Congress, Admiral Rickover
is called a great leader" a
dedicated mind" a very dis
tinguiShed American" and "a
man essential to the rapid de-
velopment of our nuclear pro-
pulsion program.
The Ao.-@iral flatters the Con-
gressmen, pre,"ing their grasp
Of difficult scienC,9c problems,
and says frankly that with
Congress help he can get any,
thing he needs from the execu-
tive.
Other officials say some other
engineer could do the same
work with less friction.
But Congress chooses to dis
agree, and Wednesdays cere-
mony is intended to be another
reminder of who's boss.

Lack Of responsibility which
