The United States Navy's fleet ballistic submarines will be a potent weapons system and practically invulnerable in a few years, a U.S. Navy officer said.
Lt. Cmdr. Clayton F. Johnson, secretary of submarine squadron fourteen, spoke Monday to the Midshipmen of the Navy KOTC in Fraser Theater.
"The Navy will have 40 Polaris submarines in operation in a number of years", Lt. Cmdr. Johnson said. "It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to locate just one of them in the great expanse of sea—much less 40 of them."
"For a period of time the Polaris missile program was behind schedule." Lt. Cmdr. Johnson, a native of Concordia, said. "But recent emphasis on missiles has propelled the program forward until it now is
He said that the nuclear missile submarine weapons system was slated to be operational in mid-1960. At that time the first Polaris missile will be in operation. The first fleet ballistic submarine, the George Washington, will have completed its shakedown cruises.

Frontier Sketches Here On First Public Exhibit
Watercolor sketches of American scenes by an Austrian artist will be on exhibit for the first time at the Museum of Art.
The 98 sketches were painted by Franz Holzhluber when he traveled through the United States from 1856 to 1860.
Holzlhuber painted frontier scenes as he passed through Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, depicting both pioneer and Indian life. This is the first time his paintings have been on exhibit.
The University Chorus will open the exhibit at 3 p.m., Sunday with a concert of mid-19th Century American songs.
Viennese waltzes will be played as background music. Viennese coffee and Austrian coffee cake with whipped cream will be served.
The exhibition was assembled by the museum staff from two of Holzl-huber's sketchbooks loaned to the University by Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Saizer of Los Angeles, Calif.
An illustrated catalogue of the sketchbooks prepared by Edward A. Maser, museum director, is the first publication about Holzhluber. Copies of it will be available at the exhibition.
Members of the Associated Women Students' will act as hostesses. The exhibition will be shown through Dec. 28.
