Thresher Officer Says Sub i Constantly Had Problems PORTSMOUTH, N.H.--UPI --An officer of the submarine Thresher, who missed the ill- fated submarine's final voyage, testified today the vessel had continuing trouble with the vital air system used to surface the ship.

The witness was Lt. (J.G.) Raymond J. McCoole, 33, who missed the final voyage of the Thresher because his wife had a home accident and he was given a temporary leave only hours before the submarine sailed. McCoole testified before a naval court of inquiry investigating the sinking of the nuclear submarine which went down with 129 men aboard on April 10. Earlier today, the commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Rear Adm.

Charles J. Palmer, was made a "party to the inquiry" by his own request. He explained he made the request because he headed the shipyard where the Thresher was based. It was overhauled there shortly before its final voyage. His request came while a naval officer at sea advanced the theory that a bursting pipe could have caused the tragedy.

McCoole told the court that on March 23 the Thresher began a "fast cruise" but had to abort it before it was finished because of difficulties in the submarine's air system. SQUVANNA CHARGES: Laos Reds Aim To Sink Neutrals VIENTIANE, Laos UP)-Premier Prince a a Phouma charged today the pro- Communist Pathet Lao olan to destroy his neutralist forces. He said the Pathet Lao lad launched new attacks in highlands of east-central The neutralist premier reported the latest attack came Phong Savan, JO miles northeast of the Plaine des Iwres where the bulk of the neutralist forces are bottled up. Phong Savan is the last major neutralist position outside the Plain. He lashed out at the Pathet Lao, partners in his uneasy coalition, in a the situation had reached "an extremely dangerous point" in the Plaine des Jarres.

His neutralist forces are under attack by the Pathet Lao in that east-central highland area. It was later explained that the "fast cruise" is a simulated voyage at dockside during which the submarine is operating under conditions it will experience at sea. "The air systems were a continuing problem as I recollect," he said. "The reducers in the air system were not functioning properly. They were a numerous times.

I don't recall how many. It would seem that every time the work day end- a reducer would be replaced." Earlier testimony indicated the submarine was trying desperately to surface during its final moments. Navy spokesman said the systems to which McCoole was referring were involved in the surfacing process. The lieutenant, a veteran of 15 years in the Navy and one of the men aboard the submarine Nautilus when it cruised beneath the polar ice cap, also told the court that in the hydraulic system about 20 per cent of the hydraulic valves opened backwards.

RUSS FORCE CUBA SAYS PROBE DISCLOSES: Youths Shared Drinks Before Fatal Shooting By TOM KASER A 14-year-old boy killed Tuesday and the young pal who has admitted shooting him shared a half-gallon of stolen tequila with a third youth shortly before the tragedy, further investigation has Two other boys were with the pair when the fatal shot was fired. One of them, John Wilson, 15, told them that he, too, drank with the victim, John Bunton, and the boy who fired the shot, Larry Fitzpatrick, 14. A fourth juvenile, Larry Dietzman, 16, said he drank nothing and Fitzpatrick and Wilson upheld his statement. ASSISTANT chief juvenile probation officer Paul Charters said he was told the tequila was stolen in a keg a South Side home about two weeks ago. Charters said he had not learned who stole it.

Bunton, of 5438 S. Mission Road, was fatally shot about 3 p.m. Tuesday. He and Wilson, of 2842 W. Dove Road, and Dietzman, of 1674 W.

Circle A. Drive, had been helping Fitzpatrick paint the trailer in which he lived, at 2220 W. Wyoming St. Charters said the boys consumed the tequila from about 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Tuesday. LYMAN FOSTER, chief juvenile probation officer, said the tequila had been stashed away in a desert hiding place until morning. He said Fitzpatrick, not charged but being held at the Pima County Juvenile Detention Home, "is sort of passive but is very cooperative. He seems to have been pretty groggy at the time and has a lot of memory failures about the whole thing. The memory failures appear genuine." The probation officers have begun a probe of Fitzpatrick's personal history dating back to childhood and will submit him to a variety of psychological and psychiatric examinations.

BUNTON WAS killed with an 1886 model .33 caliber Winchester rifle. At the time of the shots, Wilson was riding away on Fitzpatrick's motorcycle and Dietzman and Bunton were walking away from the trailer. Two shots were fired. Dietzman said he saw Fitzpatrick fire the shots. Fitzpatrick told deputies he was "getting tired of kids taking my motorcycle" but Wilson maintained that he had permission to ride it and that Fitzpatrick had given him the keys.

Funeral services for the Bunton boy will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. at the Adair Chapel, 1050 N. Dodge Blvd. Burial will be at South Lawn Memorial Park. Cooper's Flight Postponed CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

Park Chief To File For U.S. Lands By JIM COOPER Gilbert Ray, Pima County Parks and Recreation director, preparing applications for federal lands to establish a regional park in the Marana area and three neighborhood parks in the Avra Valley. The federal government permits the county to purchase one section (640 acres) of public land each year at a cost of $2.50 an acre.

THE COUNTY has been using its quota to acquire sections of land in the Tucson Mountain Park a a This year, however, it was decided to acquire the park sites outside the park. The regional park site of 505 acres lies six miles north of the city limits between the Casa Grande Highway and Oracle Road. It will be devel oped in the future as a park for the Marana region. The three Avra Valley park sites will be 10 acres each, in area. They are located adjacent to school sites.

Development will depend on future population of the area. A I Dennis Weaver, member of the Boarc of Supervisors, has requestec Arizona's congressional dele gation to support legislation that would permit the county to acquire more than the maximum 640 acres of public land per year. "It will take us 20 more years to acquire all of Tucson Mountain Park outside of the Saiiuaro National Monument area," he said. "If the maxi permitted can be raised, we can acquire the rest of the land and then look to other areas for park sites." The Interior Department has requested the supervisors to make known their future plans for park sites in order that a program for release of I federal land can be prepared. OUTSIDE OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Discovery Of New Planet Is Announced The discovery of a new planet 500 times as large as the earth but outside our solar system was announced here today.

Dr. Peter van da Kamp, director of the Sproul Observatory of Swarthmore College, told the American Astronomical Society of his 24- year search to find the planet. Because the planet does not shine, van de Kamp could only "see" it through its effects on the motion of its sun Barnard's star, about, four light years away from the earth. There- are presumably millions of planets in the universe. Barnard's star is the second closest to our solar system and therefore was considered the easiest place to look.

The star which has a mass of about 15 per cent of our sun--was first, tracked at the Sproul Observatory in 1916 and in 1938 van de Kamp began an intensive search. He found what he was looking for in 1956--a slight wobble in the motion of the star which showed up on the photographic plate as only a difference of of an inch. The star and the planet, which van de Kamp calls Barnard's Star take 24 years to revolve around a common axis between them. "It took a lot of work to find the planet," van de Kamp said. "We spent 600 nights at the telescope and then about an hour with a microscope on each of 2,400 plates." The planet is 1.5 times larger than Jupiter and the distance to its star is about 4.4 times the distance from the earth to the sun.

"There can be no life on Barnard's Star van de Kamp said. "The poor planet, is just freezing. It must be about 300 degrees below zero." Van de Kamp said the Sprou! Observatory is the only astronomy center to find a planet outside our solar system and this is the third since 1943. Keating, a New York Republican, said in a speech )repared for the American Society of Newspaper Editors that he has information that new Soviet arrivals have about matched tbe departures. "THERE WERE and are in the neighborhood of 17,000 men there," said the senator.

"No functional units have been withdrawn." The State Department and White. House had no immediate comment on Keating's remarks. Secretary Dean Rusk was expected to outline the administration position in a speech scheduled to follow Keating's. Kennedy, who will address the editors' annual meeting tomorrow, told his April 3 news conference that some 4,000 Russian troops had left in the preceding month, in addition to the 5,000 pulled out in November. At the height of last fall's crisis over Russian missile bases in Cuba, there were an estimated 21,000 to 22,000 Russian troops on the island.

So the President's report indicated a remaining total of only 12,000 or 13,000. Keating resuming with relish his role as a foremost Republican critic of Kennedy's Cuban policies--drew afresh on the undisclosed intelligence sources with which he has been challenging the administration for months. "SEVERAL THOUSAND personnel have left Cuba, several thousand more have arrived," he said. "Furthermore, they should not be called troops when they are or, their way out and technicians when they are on their way in. "There is ho reliable evidence whatsoever of a decline in Soviet military strength or capability since those first withdrawals in November." He charged also that some U.

S. Navy ships have specific orders not to searchlight the small vessels which he said constantly ply Cuban and Caribbean waters at night. He mentioned "Navy personnel" as his source of this information. DESPITE U. S.

surveillance designed to block the shipment from Cuba of "weapons, personnel and other tools of subversion" to other Latin American countries, Keating told the of these ships are ever searched by U. S. patrols. "How can we hope to got evidence of support of subversion," he went on, "if we don't investigate these small scale but very numerous operations? "I have never been Impressed by the view that nre going to gain any concessions by relaxing pressure on the Soviftts.".
