1--WE won't believe it" was the
reaction today of a top Navy
antisubmarine warfare au-
thority to a Russian claim that
the Soviet Union has the
worlds fastest fleet of nuclear
submarines.
The authority, who did not
want to be quoted by name,
said the Navy thinks the Rus
slams have a small fleet of
nuclear submarines. He added
IF they have a submarine
up to the state of the Nautilus
we'd be surprised"
The Nautilus was the first
nuclear submarine. 1t was
commissioned just about seven
years ago and the Navy since
has evolved more advanced
models.
The United States fleet now
has IA nuclear attack sub
marines. A 18th will be COM
missioned shortly.
Is Others Building
Thirteen others are in vari-
GUS stages of construction.
Also with the fleet is a nu-
clear submarine armed with
500 mile-range Regulus guided
missiles.
An increasingly important
element of United States
striking power is the PolariS
submarine, capable of firing
atomic tipped rockets over L.
200 miles. Six Of these are at
sea or close to combat readi-
ness. Thirteen more have been
launched or are being built.
The Navy has conceded the
Russians the capability to
build the nuclear submarines,
but has not reported sighting
any.
One authority estimated the
and eight years behind the
United States-in what he
called a rudimentary state of
the art.
Navy sources scoffed at the
Soviet claim published by the
Soviet newspaper Izvestia,
that Soviet nuclear sub

Negro Named
To Michigan
SupremeCourt

LANSING, Mich, Oct. IL
(AP) Michigan Auditor Gen.
eral Otis M. Smith was ap-
pointed by Democratic Gov
John Swanson to the Michigan
Supreme Court yesterday. He
is the first Negro ever to sit
on the State high court.
He will replace Justice Tai
bot Smith, 81, of Ann Arbor
who leaves the Supreme Court
today to take over a Federal
judeShip in the Eastern Dis
trict of Michigan.
At SO, Otis Smith will be the
second youngest of the eight
justices on the high court and
one of the youngest in its his
tory. The appointment caps
a meteoric political career fol-
Mr.. Smith, who had established
a series of firSts for his race in
Michigan.
Caught Williams Eye
Mr.. Smith first caught the
eye of former Gov. G. Mennen
Williams in 1857 when he was
a Flint attorney. A few months
later Mr.. Williams named him
public service commissioner.
Mr.. Smith became the first
Negro ever to serve on the
State Administrative Board
when Gov. Williams named
him auditor general in Sep
TENDER, 1859, as Auditor Gen.
eral Frank S. SZymanski be-
came Wayne County probate
judge. He was elected last
year to a two-year term.

rockets for trips to the moon
and beyond. Two Of DR.. Won
Braun's associates reported on
space vehicle recovery and re-
use at a meeting of the Amer
lean Rocket Society here.
Pair Present Views
The views of William S. Por-
ter and R. G. Voss reflected a
growing awareneSs here that
the cost of space flight will get
out of hand if the present
fire EN- and forget 'em" policy
continues.
Another rocket expert,
Chauncey j. Hamlin, Jr., Of
North American Aviation Inc,
predicted that even the big
rockets now being designed
will some day be but a Wright
brothers approach to space ex-
ploration." He forecast rockets
weighing as much as ocean
liners and said reuse of such
giants will be essential.
See Sharp Cut in Cost
The Huntsville engineers
produced figures to show that
if advanced model Saturn super
rockets, known as Saturn CO,
could be clean up and used
repeatedly, the per-pound cost
of payload in orbit would go
down sharply. They based their
calculations on ambitious space
programs involving from about
100 to more than 1000 C-3
flights a year.
Depending on how much it
cost to refurbiSh the booster
stage of a Saturn C-3 after re-
covery, savings Of up to 20 per
cent of the total program cost
could be effected by reuse, they
said. Such savings would run
into billions of dollars a year.
Reverse Salt Water View
The two Huntsville experts
made a sudden about-face from
the prevailing view that salt
water, getting into the rocket
in a parachute landing at sea,
would damage it beyond posi-
bility of reuse because of cor
rosion. This has been a potent
argument against design Of big
recoverable boosters to be fired
from the Nations Number One
spaceport at Cape Canaveral.
Florida.
TESTS conducted on .
(a) rocket engine indicate that
after immersion in salt water,
only minor refurbishing is re-
CURED" they told the rocket
GERS. In the two tests con-
Quoted to date, the refurbish-
ment required of the engines
was approximately 4 per cent
Of the cost of the new engine"
Figure $500 Per Pound Cost
Mr.. Porter and Mr.. Voss pro-
duced figures to show that at
this rate, a large-scale space
program would cost only about
500 a pound per payload in
orbit, as compared with about
$1,000 a pound for the big At
laS-Agena now in use, or 81
million for the early Vanguard
space rocket.
The Huntsville engineers and
Mr.. Hamlin all discussed the
cost of Saturn CO rockets.
Mr.. Hamlin put price tag OF
$40 million each on the big
super boosters, while Mr.. Por-
ter and Mr.. Voss priced them
according to the number to be
used. The Porter-Voss figures
ranged from $12.5 million to
$34.6 million per rocket.

took a job as a messenger and

a year at Fisk University in

Later he moved on to Cath
