TUgDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1955 'Superior' Atomic Sub To Be Built by Navy WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (/P)—The Navy announced today it will build a new atomic submarine with a new hull design expected to give it “superior” performance to the two present nuclear subs. The hull will be patterned on that of the high-speed test submarine Albacore, which reportedly has exceeded the underwater speed of the atom-powered Nautilus even though] the Albacore has conventional diesel engines. The Nautilus has a submerged speed of more than 20 knots. | Hie new hull design also will be utilized for the building of three new submersibles using die sel engines.' 1 Original plans for the four sub marines to be built under the 1956 ship construction program called' for hull design based on the con ventional Tang class boat. The Navy said in its announcement to day that "success of the subma reappraisa! of plans and the deci rine Albacore, however, led to sion to change." Better Design—Save Cost The Albacore design, the Navy said, "offers the advantages of greater range, greater underwater speed, and improved maneuver ability at approximately the same cost." The Albacore has a fish shaped body with sharp nose, a blimplike tail- and airplane type controls. It uses a single, five bladed propeller. The Albacore type hull will be, used for the nuclear submarine USS N 585. The Navy announced on Oct. 18 that this vessel will be built by the- Electric Boat -Divi sion of General Dynamics Corp. Shorter, Thinner Hull The new hull will be. shorter and thinner than the conventional attack submarines. But the N 585 will have a •’‘slightly greater dis placement.” It will use a reactor built by Westirighouse and have a single propeller instead of, the usual two. The Navy announcement said the new hull program would re sult in “some delay” in building the first of the three conventional powered subs at Portsmouth, N.H., naval shipyard. One of the other two Albacore hulls will be built by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp. at'Pascagoula, Miss. Bids for the other vessel will be requested later. NAM Splits With Meany On Tactics NEW YORK, Dec. 9 W—Busi ness and labor leaders today swapped peace overtures but wound up bitterly feuding over union tactics in politics and bar gaining. George Meany, president of the newly-merged AFL-CIO, and Charles R. Sligh, Jr., executive committee chairman of the Na tional Assn, of Manufacturers, split widely in their views. Both spoke to a crowded NAM lunch eon at the Waldorf Astoria ball room. Sligh questioned whether the new 16 million member AFL-CIO would become “a ghost govern ment” to control the country. He lashed at compulsory union mem bership arrangements, at irrespon sible strikes, and at wage levels so high that products are “priced out of the market.” Meany, speaking first and ex temporaneously, had extended an olive branch to business and said it was "silly” for labor and man agement to quarrel constantly when they had so much in com mon. Sligh said he would be willing to meet with Meany at any time to try to “clear up some things” but “naturally we are not pre-> pared to admit that all of his grievances are legitimate.” Their rift deepened shortly af ter Sligh finished his prepared speech. Newsmen cornered the two together on the speakers’ platform and it appeared for a time both men were having trou ble controlling their tempers.

Another development in today’s hearing was O’Mahoney’s decision to subpoena a group of Chicago automobile dealers and others to clear up conflicts about GM’s pol icy on the installation of heaters in cars. William J. Marshall Jr., a Chi cago attorney representing E. L. Schofield, Inc., of Rockford, 111., testified that dealers have told him they couldn’t buy Schofield heaters because they would be unable to get GM cars unless they installed GM neater*. Defense Criteria Outlined by Russell WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (/P)—Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) said today that Democrats will judge the administra tion’s new military budget by how much defense it offers— not how many billions are in it. Russell, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, serves as a principal Democratic party spokesman on defense issues. ■ In advance of a Whit* House briefing for leaders of both par ties on defense and foreign poli cies next Tuesday, Russell said in an interview he will fight a reduction in over-all arms strength. Must Retain Power "I am not willing to sell se curity short to attempt to balance the budget,” the senator said. “What is involved is not a ques tion of the billions' to be spent but of the retention of our pres ent ov e r-all military striking power. “If the administration proposes what I believe will involve a re duction in our ability to defend ourselves, I will oppose it.” . Russell said he would not go along with military cuts that were aimed at providing a tax reduc tion next year. No Tax Cut Seen “I haven’t yet seen much chance of cutting taxes unless it is to be done with continued deficit spend-' ing,” Russell observed. The senator said he had been informed that consideration is being given within the adminis tration to a military budget of about $35,200,008,000 for the year beginning next July 1. Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson has said he hopes the level can be held ft# the approxi mately 34% billions estimated; military outlay for the current year. Wilson said this would be “tough” to do. But after a con ference with President Eisen hower at Gettysburg' he fore cast “no major change” in the over-all total.
