Why couldn't ordinary subs at least the new
nuclear vessels do the job? Because even the most
modern nuclear subs have a maximum depth of
probably 1000 feet, and nowhere near the maneu-
verabiliy or visibility the mesoscaph has through
its many thick plexiglass windows. Also the meso-
scaph would cost only half million nuclear subs

Trapped On the bottom
The mesoscaph differs completely from other
deepsea exploration vessels. Until my father and
developed the bathyscaph, deep-sea exploration by
manned vehicles was confined to the bathysphere,
which William Beebe had earlier developed This
was a tethered globe of steel attached by cable like
a yo-yo to a surface ship.

gerous. The cable could have snapped or become
fouled or tangled, leaving the stranded under-sea
spaceman encapsulated on the bottom of the ocean.

I doubt that the Attorney Gen
eral is making any valuable con-
tribution by attempting to probe
the motives of those who took part
in the Freedom Rides, especially
the comment he made during his
interview about some of the rid
ers" seeking publicity and atten-
ton.
But when he talks about settling
this matter in the courts, he is re-
fleeing the attitude of a consider
able segment of the population as
illustrated by the Gallup Poll. In
areas that are supercharged with
emotions, as in the case Of civil
rights, the average American tends
to favor slow motion.
In fact we often look disdain-
fully at that man who is inclined
to rock the boat, or upset the
applicant - a couple Of favorite
cliches OF those who like to take
it easy, or go slow.
This is not a difficult attitude
to understand. If the status quo is
all right for thee and me, the man
who disturbs it may seem like an
upstart, a troublemaker, or an
agitator.
