TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1960 Mystery Sub Escapes Gulf BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (ill) Accounts of a weird battle against a submarine in the Golfo Nuevo created a feeling here yesterday that the hunted boat has escaped from a sizable portion of the Argentine fleet. Some skepticism has been expressed that a submarine was Big Bombers Asked for Alert By Air For 7 WASHINGTON ( ) The Air Force wants Co tgress to give the President fear au thority to put the big bombers on continuing airborne alert and spend whatever is needed to keep them there as long as necessary. The current defense budget pro vides only 90 million dollars to prepare the Strategic Air Force for such an alert. Admittedly this would be a drop in the bucket if SAC were to attempt to keep a significant portion of its bombers in the air at all times, safe from ground attacks, fully armed with nuclear weapons and ready to re taliate at once after an atomic assault. But Secretary of the Air Force Dudley C. Sharp and Gen. Thomas D. White, Air Force chief of staff, told the Senate Appropriations Cimmittee yes terday that the 90 millon dol- . lays is only part of the story. Also in the bill is a provision allowing the President to spend whatever is necessary to launch and maintain a fullscale air - borne alert and come back to Congress for the money later. Sens. Leverett Saltonstall (R.- Mass.) and Dennis Chavez (D.- N.M.) said that under the language of last year's defense budget the President could spend up to 600 million dollars next year and up to a billion in each of two subse quent years to provide the sort of full airborne alert asked by Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC commander.

Defense Minister Justo Villar conferred with President Arturo Frondizi but declined to dis close details of the talk. The minister said he did not know if the submarine got away. The 17-day search has engaged perhaps a score of ships plus planes in a body of water only a bit larger than San Francisco Bay. Argentina claims the gulf as her territorial waters. There was no word on the Navy's "Operation Sinking," a last-ditch attack presumably mak ing use of depth charges and electronic equipment flown from the United States. Argentine depth Charges have been effective only down to 262 feet, while U S. depth charges can reach 656 feet The gulf floor dips below 500 feet in spots, so a sub marine pi esumably could dive be low the range of the Argentine depth charges. He insisted a submarine really had been in the gulf, but re jected speculation it was a So viet Union submarine, some thing the Soviet Embassy here has already denied. "If it were Russian it would try to hide while observing military centers in the Golfo Nuevo," he said. The officer's theory was the submarine might have been a U.S. submarine trying of test Ar gentine defenses The United States has denied knowledge of any of its subma rines being near the area, but the captain said the United States has been trying to negotiate a mutual defense pact with Argentina for years. An agreement might pro vide newer military equipment for the armed services of Argen tina. Civil Rights Bill To Go To Senate WASHINGTON (W) Demo crtic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas outfoxed southern mem bers yesterday to bring before the Senate a House-passed bill on which to hang civil rights amend ments. With only a handful of his col leagues in attendance at the time, Johnson got unanimous consent to call up a minor bill involving a Missouri school district. The maneuver went unchal lenged by Sen. B. Everett Jordan (D.-N.C.) who had been posted as a sentinel by Southern opponents to rally him to fight against bringing up the civil rights meas ure. Johnson, who appears to be staking his chances for the Dem ocratic presidential nomination on his promise to get civil rights leg islation passed, thus carried out a commitment he made last year to bring the issue before the Senate in mid-February.
