Red Subs Seen Mapping Floor Of Ocean Off U.S. WASHINGTON (AP)-The Russians were reported Sunday to be mapping the ocean floor off North America in a massive operation so Soviet nuclear submarines can sneak up to U.S. shores without surfacing. News World Report, in a copyrighted article datelined London, quoted Western Intelligence officials as giving that explanation for the recent increase in sightings of unidentified submarines near American waters and for six Sovict trawlers anchored for months off the Canadian coast.

The magazine did not identify the officials. Subs Being Built The articles. said: The purpose of this operation, as the officials see it, is to enable Soviet nuclear submarines. several of which are being built. to travel submerged from Russia to action stations off the U.S.

coast. "There, still submerged and undetected, such submarines could launch missiles, with H-bomb warheads anywhere in the United A submarine in unknown waters normally navigates by surfacing from time to time to take sights on the sun or stars but this cannot be done while traveling under the surface for thousands of miles. "Underwater 'action stations' for firing missiles also must be located with great accuracy, to establish a known localion for firing the missiles. This is part of the ocean-floor mapping job. "The intelligence experts say it will take Soviet submarines and 'trawlers' from five to 10 years to complete such a job of maping American waters." Diet Of Vegetable Fats Treats Blood Vessel Ills SAN FRANCISCO (AP) pected new beneficial results in the treatment of blood vessel disease by feeding patients large amounts of vegetable fats were announced Sunday by a veteran research in dietary medicine.

Many patients who had been unable to walk because of this trouble have returned to full activity, said Dr. Laurance W. Kinsell, of Oakland, Calif. Dr. Kinsell addressed: a meeting of the American Diabetes Assn.

Improvement Noted Also some diabetics whose blood vessel deterioration has damaged their kidney and affected eyes have improved considerably under this dietary schedule, he reported. However, he said he could not tell yet whether the diet treatment alone was responsible. But the fat compounds in their blood stream returned to or toward normal, Dr. Kinsell said. This may mean- their kidney and eye trouble is a result of a longstanding deficiency in essential fatty acids which have brought about changes in cell structure, he added.

If so, he said. it may be possible to correct the cell abnormalities with the proper use of vegetable fats. Dr. Kinsell and others have been noting for several years that the acids in vegetable -oils can dissolve or clean out patches of protein-fat compounds which form on the inner walls of blood vessels. These protein patches can, cause them to harden or even close.

The disabling effect of the closing or narrowing of blood vessels in the legs is common among older people. It causes pain Ot cramps in walking, because the muscles receive too little oxygen through the blood supply during exertion. The pain stops when the muscles are not used. Senator Continues Role As Top Labor Defender WASHINGTON 4-In the Senate's clamor over labor reform, the voice most often in tune with organized labor is the hoarse baritone of Sen. Pat McNamara (D- Mich.) In joining with union leaders to oppose sweeping new labor measures, the burly ex-pipefitter from Detroit is cast again in a role he disclaims--the Senate's! most uncompromising defender of labor.

Stunning Upset "Labor has never designated me as its spokesman," McNamara says. "And I have never asked for the designation. No man, living or dead, influences my vote." The label of labor spokesman was hung on McNamara when he entered the senate almost 312 years ago after a stunning upset victory over veteran Republican Sen. Homer Ferguson. No other senator had such grass, roots union experience.

Until election, McNamara had spent his entire adult life in the labor movement. He had served as president of a Detroit 'pipelitters local for 20 of the previous 22 years. But his protests against the role, of labor spokesman have some justification. His service in the labor movement was more that of noncommissioned officer than general. Many big-state senators have a better grasp of union affairs at the national level, a fact readily admitted by McNamara.

The son of an Irish immigrant, McNamara completed only years of high school before starting to learn the pipefitter's trade. He turned to the white collar end of the building indusabout 20 years ago and was try earning more than $30,000 a year Detroit construction comas a executive when elected to pany the Senate. Brief Stints When he announced as an opof former Sen. Blair Moody in the 1954 Democratic (ponent senatorial primary, McNamara was unknown outside of Detroit. He had served brief stints on Detroit's nonpartisan Education.

Common Council and Board of was given no chance for a primary victory as a purely procandidate against what he test said was hand picking of the nominee by the state machine land the Reuther dominated CIO. Moody died before the primary and alter the deadline for filing. The Democratic CIO politicos were stuck with McNamara, and marriage of convenience cona tinues today on that basis. McNamara neither looks, talks nor lives like a senator. At 63.

he is ruggedly handsome. His appearance 6 feet 2, 240 pounds. a full head of' gray hair above thick black eyebrows is impressive but not senatorial. He looks like an outidoors man who could break most Ex Arrest Ordered In Haiti PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti (AP) President.

Francois Duvalier personally ordered the arrest Sunday of Antonio. Rimpel. who was replaced as minister of public works in last week's Cabinet reshuffle.
