WASHINGT eN, Feb. 14 (IP)
—The Navy stated its barns
tic missile submarine program
rolling today with announce
ment that construction of two
Polaris boats will begin in Con
necticut and a third in California.,
The assignment to build two of
the giant-sized submersibles able
to tire 1500-mile intermediate
range ballistic missiles while be
neath the sea, went to the Elec
tric Boat Division of General
Dynamics Corp. at Groton, Conn.,
the firm which built the Nau
tilus, forerunner of nuclea r
powered submarines like the Po
laris boats.
The Mare Island naval ship
yard located near Vallejo, Calif.,
will build the other.
The first sub probably will
cost between 105 and 110 mil- 1
lion dollars. Techniques de
veloped are expected to lower
the price tag to 90 million dol
lars or less for the other craft.
The Polaris submarine will be
the largest submersible known—
unless.the huge, new Soviet fleet
includes a type unheard of here.
Surfaced, it will displace 5600
tons, compared with about 3000
yard located near Vallojo, Calif.,
Within the huge hull will be 16
vertical tubes in which the IRBM
Polaris weapons will be mounted
and from which they will be fired.
With the 1500-mile range,
this means that a Polaiis sub
marine can lob 16 rockets into
the heartland of an enemy
while concealed under the ocean
surface. Each missile can mount
a hydrogen warhead, capable
of causing vast destruction.
Generally, the Polaris subma
rines will follow the propulsion
design of other nuclear • subma
rines. However, to give them in
creased underwater speed and
maneuverability, the Navy is uti
lizing the whale shape of the
submarine Albacore. That 'experi
mental vessel, powered with con
ventional diesel en gine s, has
traveled faster under water than
even the nuclear-peiwered Nau
tilus-.
Tunisia Blocks
3 Consoiates
TUNIS, Feb. 14 (W) Tunisia
clamped a police blockade on
three French consulates today but
otherwise applied calming mea
sures to prevent a dangerous ex
plosion.
A government spokesman dis
closed that food supplies were be
ing allowed to get through to the
15,000 French soldiers barricaded
in their bases. This seemed to
ease the greatest immediate dan
ger of clashes.
Capitalizing on world reaction
to a French air raid last Satur
day on the border village of Sa
kiet Sidi Youssef, President Ha
bib Bourguiba has demanded
France withdraw all * its troops
and give up the big naval base
at Bizerte. Tunisians claim 79
men, women and .children were
killed and many more wounded
in Sakiet.
'Biggest' Erie Fire
Still Smouldering
ERIE, Pa., Feb. 14 (JP)—Erie's
biggest fire in many years still
smouldered stubbornly today in
the ruins of a wrecked warehouse.
Owner Millard Irwin said the
ruined building was valued at a
million dollars, and the contents
had been inventoried Wednesday
as being worth seven million dol
lars.
For several hours the fire roared
out of control, reddening the sky
over the west end of Erie. Every
member of the fire department
was called to duty and most of
the force remained until the fire
was controlled about 2 a.m. At the
height of the blaze furniture was
carried from an adjoining office
building as the flames threatened
to spread. - -

What's
"What really sold me," says Gerald Maley, "was the
way they approach engineering at IBM. I had expected
rooms full of engineers at desks. Instead, I found all the
friendly informality of my college lab."
An E.E., he came directly to IBM from the University
of Buffalo in 1953. Starting as a Technical Engineer,
he was immediately assigned to work, with two others,
on designing a small calculator. Jerry Maley learned
a great deal about computers in a very short time. Inci
dentally, this small calculator has gone into production.
"It makes an engineer feel good," he says, "to see his
project reach the production stage—and to be able to
follow it through."
Promoted to Aso;r_•iate Engineer after sixteen months,
he became the leader of a nine-man team, assigning
problems to his group for solution, approving their
block diagrams and the models they built. A short
while ago, he was again promoted—this time to
Project Engineer. "A
particularly interesting
aspect of my present
job," Jerry Maley says,
"is the further devel
opment of magnetic
cores—new memory
storage devices for elec
tronic digital compu
ters." His administra
tive details have been
reduced to a minimum,
freeing him for creative
"miring probkm to wows muntmar engineering work.
Perhaps an hour a day goes into paper work such as
requisitioning equipment for his group and reviewing
technical publications, in counseling members of his
team, and preparing for trips to technical society
meetings.
Of course, there were many reasons why Jerry Matey
selected IBM. He was vitally interested in computers,
and IBM is a leader in computer technology. He comes
from a scientific family (his brother is a mathematician),
and is fascinated by these IBM mathematical marvels
which are revolutionizing ways of doing things in so
many fields. He enjoys working on large equipment .."..
and on "pulses." "It's more logical," he says. "In com
puter work, you can actually see electronics at work.
And it's not all solid math, either. What's more, this

Why he chose IBM

be with IBM
field is so new, you're contributing along with every
body else in a short time." He endorses the IBM
policy of promoting
from within, with merit
the sole criterion. The
salary factor, although
it was excellent, was
not his first employ
ment consideration, he
recalls. The tremen
dous advancement po
tential was of greater
importance.
What about promotions?
When asked about advancement opportunities at IBM,
he says, "You can hardly miss in this field and in this
• company. IBM sales have doubled, on the average,
every five years. Company expansion at this rate—
in a dynamic industry—
makes my future look
bright indeed." Since
Jerry Maley earns
with IBM in 1953,
career opportunities
at IBM are brighter
than ever, as all busi
ness, industry, science
and government turn
increasingly to auto

Reviewing 'ethnical publications tronic computers.
This profile is just one example of what it's like to be
with IBM. There are many other excellent opportuni
ties for well-qualified college men in Research, Devel
opment Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.

IBM will next interview on your campus? Or, for in
