SEA BATTLE OF THE FUTU?E?-Since the advent of atom-powered lubmarine* and sub-launched missiles, many military strat egists warn that America's greatest danger lies in a sudden nuclear attack from the sea. In order to counter this possibility, a num ber of antisubmarine weapons have been de vised. Tracking exercises in both the Atlantic and the Pacific are continuously being carried out in order to improve their use. Artist's drawing above, with perspectives compressed for clarity, envisions the actions that could take place in an undersea attack, ? - based on information that has been declassi fied. One of the most important, defensive weap ons is the helicopter. In the scene above (1) it has picked up the sounds of a submarine pack by means of the sonar device trailing from it. Land-based planes (2), ? carrier (3) and a destroyer (4) are called to the area. Depth charge explosions can be seen in the wake of the destroyer, while both a conventional tor pedo and one fired into the air by rocket seek out ? sub. Locating another sub, ? tracker plane (5), either from land or from a carrier, ' drops a homing torpedo which scores a kill. But one sub (?) has eluded detection long enough to surface and lire a nuclear-armea . missile, in this case a winged, nonbailisl c type. Perfection of a ballistic missile cap? e ; of being filed underwater will greatly incriv e dangers of submarine effectiveness. Also in development are submarine vs. submarine weapons and tactics. In this drawing, one city has been hit. The outcome of battle is still in doubt, although, as of today, the odds favor the attacker, _ Hrm Locates Jobs For Retired Persons William Wilcox said: "So. Ihcj retired me after 34 years in the c> snpany because of the compul sory retirement plan, and I found myself sitting around the house getting in my wife's way and figur ing I wasn't worih much to any body. And then I saw this ad. Wilcox, like thousands of other retired executives, found himself quickly answering the call put out by the new-born Walter D. Fuller Co. The ad, aimed at management men over 50. declared: There are Jcbs yr-ti can fill as 'he specialist you have become with your long experience. Today, with its first anniversary coming un. the Fuller Co. is aver aging more than 100 placements per month in full-time, part-time and temporary Jobs. That's a lit tle shy of the break even potnt but the njmber is grawing and Ful ler expects to be in the back soon by making placements at the rate of 3,030 a year. The idea of reintegrating the re tired in the economy is not new. Social agenries and civic groups have been at work on this problem for many years. But no group has ever had the success of Fuller's company. "I don't knew why." Fuller says. j "I certainly don't have more infor mation about the matter ihan the social agencies. The only thing I have is an intimate knowledge of being retired." Wilcox, who was placed ar; vice president of Ihe Fuller company, adds: "Retirement plans arc designed by young men f r old men. And the social agencies, doing a good job, are aiso manned by the rela tively young." According Id '"ie Fuller Comp any's formula for success, you c n cot fit a man to a Job simply bi i c;um he is over SO. He must hav> | the ri; itt experience, and you mus oe in business tor profit. If yci can't make money selling your scr vii e, then you must close you. j u -JIS. J And .vhat is the right experience? In WUctx' words: "Aside from the skills of management the olocr you gn<w the less you are hamstrung b.. facts? executive know-how ana the .pinion of others. Both these ! freedom to think are invaluable j .o inous:ry." Among Fuller, Wilcox and a small ? cifice force of retired personnel iir.ost of the firm's overhead) each ! rpp'iration by the retired and each ? 'iucry tv a prospective employer are embed carefully for unde sirable traits. ?No position seeker is acceptable a seems to be ioo hii; for a ; ail'T -made job. And no client : ; > serviced if he thinks that the I retired are a soft-touch, eager to I work for nothing. f 5 v t i The entire cost of placement falls 1 to the hirin * company. The fee ? not to cxeecd $550? is based on the | 'Juration of ;hs specialist's contract and his s; lary. But regardless of the ? client s need and the specialist's | accreditation, it is the specialist's decision as to whether he will be in 1 tcrvicwed by the client. "And we don't solicit clients at ail," Fuller says, "other than to ?ell them of our service. It has been by experience that no company will hire a specialist unless it recogniz es it has a problem." Fuller, on the basis of his own ?c ord, would seem to be the ma; ! to organize such a service. At tht , age i f 7i. he is the past presiden and retired chairman of the boan of the Curtis Publishing Co. He is also a trustee, director, president, chairman or member of 25 firms, ascci lations, foundations and coun cils. In addition, ae holds 11 hon orary degrees, awards and frater nal presidencies. v "I've met an awful lot of people in my time." he says.

A look at one day's activities in the small Fuller office should con vince the rnnsi skeptical of the ?3lidity of Fuller's claim. j Between 8 a.m. and 9:20 p.m. here were 18 interviews with clients and specialists, spadework in the search for specialists with particu lar qualifications, registration of new applicants, stacks of mail answering requests, denying service and delivering signed contracts be tween execu;ive and new company, plus 22 urgent telephone calls for help. Among them, a call from a man ufacii.cr whrt was loo 'ting forward to retirement himself. "And what he wants." Wilcox said, "is some body to come with his firm long enough to help him decide which of, his 'hree sons should suocccd Mm. as president of the company."

These persons arc taking nart in a massive research program to find a vaccine against tiic com mon cola.

So fnr, titey have locked 70 Seme of these viruses specialize in striking cs.idrcn. o.icrs con- 1 centrate on adults. Many show up only in the winter, others in warmer weather. But scientists believe that these TO viruses account for only half of !hc nation's colds and other j similar respiratory illnesses. They blame a lot of the sneezes, coughs I and sere throats on allergies. Some , crlds. they say, are probably caused by emotional troubles. Still j others arc thought to be caused by j viruses that haven't been isolated Lrsf yefir a new group of viruses j was discovered by scientists' at the j \m.. lnhTatorios of the N.I.H. This group turned out to be isponsiL'e for more respiratory isesse among hospitalized Wash nglon children in 1958 than influer, za. In an effort to find, other viruses ".n.1 learn mere about the 70 old ines. NIH -i ns'itute of Allergy r.nd Infectious Diseases is spending ?ncre than two million dollars on respiratory disease research. Every time one of the 18.000 cntchcs a cold, he is supposed to -otify a special research team. Swabbinps are made of his throat and taken to a laboratory to de cmirc which virus is causing the ?mage. Doctor* hop* this project ill establish the viruses that most (tea strike particular age groups .id the lime of year they usually ittack. A similar study is being conduct d oo about 60 small children in a V ashing ton welfare institution. >octors explain that kids are usual y hiehly susceptible to respiratory i/ections. With information gained from hese studio, :.1H doctors hope ihey :;.n develop an anti-cold shot that vill contain several vaccines, each >ne aimed at killing a particular >irus. They believe that it might be possible to make scpara.e vaccines for children, adolescents and adults. Dr. Robert J. Hucbner, chief MAI) M.:cntist, explains that an effective cold preven .alive might contain as many as 25 vaccines. v combination vaccine designee knock out eight viruses was de iopcd recently by Notre Dame ientist Dr. Thomas G. Ward ant .iven to about 2.000 students. A ..ui.er youp was given a sterile u.nn cai.cJ a piaccbo. At the id of :hc school year, the numbci t eolus among ihe vaccinaiet .idciits will he compared wi;h the number suffered by the non-vacci nated group. If successful, Dr .Vard believes the vaccine may cu 0 usual number of winter colds a; i. .re Dame by 60 to 70 per cent. T>.e e st of a vaccine like the one visualized by Dr. Huebner is un known. But the scientist declares ?i.e jus.iticaiion lor study ant eventual u:..- o. an all-purpose vir .s vaccine ought not to be pu rurciy ou an economic basis. "I believe that a multivalent vac inc c apable of preventing as mm 1 as 25 to 30 per cent of undiffercn tiated respiratory disease, particu .i j in i_-ny chiloliood, wouid b< rsiraHe for the good and simple reason that this is an enormou: co. oi i.luess."

We installed jointly with the Southern Hell Telephone and Telegraph Compa> ny a toll cable between Syiva and Ashe ille, and we provided additional toll circuits between Syiva and its dial tri butaries. These improvements, representing an investment in excess cf 5500,000 would have normally provided excellent toll service. inforiusately, additional po sitions of toll switchboard required at Ihe Sylva toll center were not deliver ed in time for use during the busy summ ?r season, necessitating the operation of (hat toll center with less than the number of toll positions and operators required to render a good quality of toll service. We have also experienc ed serious interruptions in toll service due to the improper functioning of our microwave system. Engineers for the equipment manufacturers have been ' working "around the clock" for the past four weeks, aud they assure us the system will be functioning properly by July 25. Efficient operation of the mocrowave system will provide some improveme nt in toll service, but we can not offer#Mtt much hupe for appreciable improv vemcKl during the present summer sea^i, uue to tne aforementioned conges tftn at the Sylva toll center. ?'egret very much that yon are not receiving the quafityof toll servic you require and deserve. He ask your ind ilgence during this busy summer season with the assurance from us that a con inuity of good toll service will be prov ided after August of this year.
