Atomic Ship
Has Trouble
On First Trip
By FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer

ABOARD THE NUCLEAR
SHIP SAVANNAH AT SEA,
Aug. 2I.-The worlds first
known atomic-powered mer-
chant vessel ran into temporary
trouble on her maiden voyage
yesterday and had to depend
upon conventional oil power
for about an hour and a half
to keep under way.
The 22,00O-ton. $53-million
Savannah actually idled for
about a half-hour at sea before
the pre-atomic age power was
turned on.
With a delegation of notables
from Georgia aboard, including
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, the Sa-
vannah's big nuclear reactoI
automatically "scrammed" -
that is, went dead-when a
test of one of the ships cleo
tromechanical systems went
awry.
The mishap occurred when
the ship was about 40 miles
east of Cape Henry, Va. The
big ship left Yorktown. Va,
earlier in the day for Savan-
nah, Ga, on her first trip to
a regular commercial port.
About a half-hour after the
mishap occurred, an auxiliary
steam plant, powered by oil
was turned on, and the ship
moved ahead at a crawling six
knots, compared with the ap-
proximately Is knots with which
she had been cruising.
Several members of Savan-
fnah's City Council and their
wives had been summing on deck
chairs when the ships officers
ran up two black balls on q
midship mast to signify to any
other ships in the area, I'VE
are out of command, we have
no power, keep clear of U.S."
Later, a blue and yellow flag
was run up signifying I'VE are
steering with difficulty"
The mishap occurred at ex-
actly 4 pm. but the Savannah
was back on nuclear power two
hours and five minutes later.

a Martin executive revealed
that Titan III would be devel-
oped and that Dyna Soar
would go orbital.
The deal that gave birth to
Gemini and new life-blood to
Dyna-Soar turned on the ques-
ton of Titan IFS availability.
The Air Force was building the
rocket as high-priority inter-
continental missile to take the
place Of Atlas and Titan I.
While beefier than either of
the early rockets. Titan us
chief advantage from the Air
Force point of view was that
its Storable fuels would give it
an almost instantaneous off
the-pad capability.
If the new rockets weight
lifting advantage-half again
as much as Titan I, twice that
of Atlas-was of secondary in
terestt o Air Force weaponeers,
it made NASA space planners
drool. The rocket could come
along in time to save programs
even then Qate 1861 being
threatened by slippage of the
Atlas Centaur. Further, it
would provide a new man-in-
space capability in the lean
years before Saturn CT would
be man-rated, perhaps in 1865.
Rejection and Compromise
NASA wanted Titan II-and
more. Space Agency planners
put before the Air Force a two
pronged proposal: Make Titan
II production capacity avail
able to NASA as well as the
Air Force, and beef up the
rockets going to NASA through
extensive notifications. The
m odified booster becam e
known as Titan Ma"
To the first part, the Air
Force said NO" and to the
second part, Absolutely no"
NASA was told that the Titan
II production line at Denver
was needed in the foreSeeable
future for missile hardware
And even if some rockets could
be diverted from the line for
INASA's use. development of a
Titan II12 would have a di-
versionary effect on the whole
Titan program.
NASA came back with a
counter-offer: If we promise to
keep Titan II notifications to
a minimum in Project Gemini,
will you let us have some Titan
lis? Replied the Air Force: II
we give you Titan lis, will you
hold still for an orbital Dyna-
Soar?

believing that the Dyna-Soar
concept would be obsolete be-

INTERPRETIVE REPORT-
Titan IIControct Gives
Dyno-Soor OrbitoI Status
By WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

Dyna-Soar-the Air Forces
answer to both NASA and the
Russians-moved a step nearer
to reality yesterday.
The Defense Department an
nounced award of a prime con-
tract to the Martin-Marietta
Corp. for development of the
$500 million Titan III booster
rocket system. Dyna Soar, now
officially known as the X-20
'aerospace plane, will depend on
Titan III to get it off the
ground.
The Air Force has been tout
ing Dyna-Soar, in one form or
another, for almost as long as
there has been a space pro-
gram. Under the Dyna-Soar
concept a winged vehicle would
be boosted to orbital altitude
and speed and would then glide
into a controlled landing.
Originated by German
The idea, involving dynamic
soaring" from which Dyna-
Soar gets its name, is older
than even the Project Mercury
concept. 1t was developed in
Germany by Eugen Saenger
during World War II. DR..
Saenger suggested an "anti-
podeal bomber" which would
get altitude through a rocket
assisted takeoff and would
then skip across the top of the
atmosphere half way around
the world, dropping its bombs
en- route.
DIR. Saenger's bomber died
before it was born, for a num-
Der Of reasons, one being that
there was no place halfway
around the world from Berlin
that would give a hoSpitable
reception to a Nazi bomber.
Logical Role
For a number of years, Dyna-
Soar has been talked about in
Air Force circles as the logical
follow-on" to the Kills rocket
plane now carving new records
in the sky. The Space Agency
for a long time resisted Air
Force efforts to get a top-level
go-ahead on an orbital Dyna-
Soar, insisting that manned
space flight was NASA's re-
Sponsibility.
The Air Force went ahead
with Dyna-Soar, but with only
marginal funding and as a
sub-orbital program. The Boo
ing Co. in Seattle worked on
the airplane while the Martin
Co. in Denver busted itself with
booster rockets. Martins first
candidate was the Titan I. now
a standard piece of missile
weaponry. The company later
pushed Titan II, more pow
erful rocket now finding its
way into NASA's Gemini two
man flight program.
Horse Trading Indicated
Exactly how the Air Force
got orbital status for Dyna-
Soar has never been put on
the public record. But behind
the scenes information seems
to indicate a bit Of horse trad
ing between the military aero
space arm and its civilian COM
petitor.
Last December 6. at Hous-
ton, Manned Spacecraft Center
Director Robert r. Gilruth an
nounced that NASA would
launch two-man orbital and
rendezvous missions beginning
in 1854, using the Titan II.

US. Over a Barrel On Military Junta
 Seizure of Power
By James Marlow

WASHINGTON tR - The United States is over a barrel.
 It reacted strongly against mill- 1 tary seizure of power in Peru last week. This probably won't last long It had similar reactions in other places and wound up doing business.
 It didn't like the military coup which threw out the president of Korea in 1961 Before years end President Kennedy and junta boss Gen. Chung Hee Park were re- affirming tn e two countries strong bonds of friendship
 When the military in Argentina last March disliked the election results and threw out the presi- dent, this country hesitated about giving recognition. It waited three weeks and gave the recognition.
 In other countries in Latin Amer ica = Paraguay, Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala = it has given recog- milton to dictatorship govern ments of one kind or another.
 And, among other countries, it has diplomatic relations with two of the most persistent, contem- porary Relationships = Spain and Portugal = and has bases on their territory.
 By the very nature of it's policy encouraging democracies - the United States can't afford to well come military coups or dictator ships without some show of hesitaney.
 But by the very nature of it's dilemma = in trying to stop Com munism = it apparently feels it can't afford to shut the door on anti-Communist regimes, even

 BiAMES BANNED DRUG FOR DEFORMED TWINS

WASHINGTON lR Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-Ill9, says the Sen ate Finance Committee on which he serves is making "almost a shambles" of President Kennedy's tax revision bill.
 Douglas denounced the com mittee's actions after it adopted it's latest round of amendments to the controversial measure.
 The former economies professor told the Senate the bill was de- signed by Kennedy to be a reform measure to close tax loopholes and increase Treasury revenues.
 Kennedy must be sorely dlsap- pointed with the bill now, Douglas said The Finance Committee has converted it into a revenue loser, he said, and there is very little tax reform left in it.''
 Douglas termed "unconscionable" committee amendments deleting di- vidend and interest withholding, weakening proposals to tighten up checks on expense account abuses, and "gutting' provision to tax profits for foreign subsidiaries of US. firms even though their earn ings stay abroad.
