2 Killed, 3 Missing In Submarine Explosion
San Francisco—(U.P.)-Two sailors were killed, three others are missing and presumed dead and four were seriously injured when a series of explosions rocked the submarine USS Pomodon at its berth in Hunters Point Naval shipyard, the Navy reported today.
The three explosions, the first of which took place about 11:20 o'clock (CST) last night, were followed immediately by a fire that caused "a lot of damage" to the World War II sub.
Sailors aboard another sub, the USS Catfish, and the carrier Philippine Sea, as well as civilians, helped in rescue operations. Many donned oxygen masks and boarded the burning Pomodon.
The rescuers managed to remove four men, three of whom later were taken to Oak Knoll hospital in Oakland, as well as the two dead men.
Two civilian fire fighters were killed in a fire
wreasted for smoke, inhalation.
The three missing men were "presumed" to be aboard the sub and to have succumbed to the deadly hydrogen fumes.
Firemen managed to bring the fire under control two hours after it broke out, but the Navy forbade anyone to go aboard until the task of pumping the hydrogen out of the hull was completed.
Huge signs reading, "Danger! Explosive Area," marked off the area around the Pomodon. Crewmen from the Pomodon who were not on duty at the time milled around silently. They refused to talk to newsmen.
A Navy spokesman said the pumping operations would take anywhere from several hours to several days. They had to work with extreme caution lest the least false move touch off another searing blast.
The ship is commanded by Lt. Cmdr. Charles Almy of San Diego, who also declined to speak to reporters.
The only noise breaking the quiet of the shipyard early today was the sound of the pump working to remove the gas. Brilliant floodlights played over the scene.
The forward battery, where the exosolations took place, has 252 cells.
The Pomodon was just about ready to go to sea after an overhaul. Its batteries were being charged, a process that results in the creation of the explosive hydrogen gas.
Navy officials did not know whether the Pomodon's hydrogen detector was functioning last night
"There is still a chance for further explosions while the venting pressures are rising and barrieries are still discharging and we don't know when they'll stop.
The ship suffered no exterior damage. She was still floating and used to her dock.
The rescue operations were under the personal direction of Capt. W. L. Turney, commander of the shipyard. He was directing about 30 patrols.
"Our crews have attached hoses to the hull and they are trying to blow the gas out. It is a very ticklish business."
Names of the missing men were not announced. Names of the dead and injured were withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Puppet Show Given At Faculty Club
A puppet show presented by the German department was the main feature of the weekly Sunday afternoon program at the Faculty club Feb. 20.
The puppets, owned by the department, are used for educational purposes in conversation classes where students talk through them and sometimes write scripts for short shows to be presented in class.
KU Mardi Gras Is Celebrated
About 80 Romance language students and teachers celebrated Mardi Gras with a costume ball in the Student Union Saturday.
Intermission entertainment was furnished by five French students who presented a skit showing the changes in the clothing habits of French students as they become familiar with American campus styles. The five French students, Jacques Leca, Jacques Lopez, Gerard Lagnau, Pierre Ory, and Francois Montaggioni, also sang a French song.
Monique Poulenard, Peter Earle, and Elizabeth Deibert and Robert Skinner were judged the best costumed woman, man, and couple, respectively, by a judging committee composed of Prof. and Mrs. Domingo Ricart and Prof. Mattie Crumrine, all of the Romance language department.
KU Report Gets World Coverage
A recent report of the State Geological Survey at the University, "Preliminary Spectrographic Investigation of Germanium in Kansas Coal," by John A. Schleicher and William W. Hambleton, is receiving international news coverage.
Mr. Schleicher this week received a letter from Science Service, Washington, D.C., informing him that a news item on the report appears in "Scientia International," the international edition science newsletter of Science Service.
Science Service, which claims the world's largest editorial staff for covering science exclusively, earlier issued a release on the germium study to the English press. The write-up in "Scienta International" gives it international diffusion. "Scienta International" is edited in "Iterlingua," the "common standard" of the major occidental languages, and is read at sight without previous study by most scientifically or technologically trained persons anywhere in the world.
