Anderson, speaking of reports that for the crew the Nautilus "hung motionless in time and space," says nothing could be further from the truth.

"Every man aboard was acutely aware of our rapid and inexorable movement north. As the hours passed, each watch squad gasped at our progress. Men remained transfixed at the electronic machines clocking our track mile by mile, or before the television set on which they could watch the ice passing overhead like beautiful moving clouds. Few could sleep. Many of us had been praying for the successful attainment of our goal, and now, God willing, it appeared within our reach." And these men, with wives and little ones, vt sweethearts, at home, knew what would be their fate if accident or materiel failure left them lost forever under the ice.

But they made jokes, and the psychiatrist aboard, Capt. Jack L. Kinsey (they kidded him about his 'Kinsey' report), had little to do. Then throughout the ship came the skipper's countdown: THROUGH THE SQUAWK-BOX "Stand by. 10 8 6 4 3 2 1.

That seems not to be the case, because he's gone out and tackled the mysteries of space and the veiled purlieus of the mind. Founder of the Pacific Lemur-Ian Society, he edited its fall edition in London and Lisbon. He has a private pilot's license letting him nose around in the handier reaches of the atmosphere. And forgetting or ignoring that injunction, "0 that mine enemy would write a book," he's written a book, published Monday. Among the book's photos is one of a moon-man who looks quite a bit like the one Alley Oop is feuding with an the comic page Alien is in earnest in his beliefs and they laughed at Jules Verne, didn't they, and Colum-bua, Galileo and even the Wright Brothers? Allen seeks to prove the existence of UFO Unidentified Flying Objects and offers a number of pictures to back up his claims.

His investigations over the past seven years indicate to him that "extra-terrestrial entities using electrical spacecraft propulsion art all. around us." The mystery, he writes, "is why this attention seems to be paid to Earth at this time unless this space traffic has always been with us. If it has then the ruling powers-that-be who have oppressed the mind of man over the last few thousand years on this planet have been guilty of the universe's most incredible crime against humanity." He pulls no punches in hia indictment of conventional thinkers, explores the minds of Einstein and others to show bow little they were understood. Allen, a graduate electrical engineer and former Navy radar-radio officer, includes four essay by Carl Frederick Krafft in hia book. He reexamines the science of physics and the of the great minds of both past and present and concludes that man Irving in an ever-changing universe must contin-pally produce new sets of universal facts on which to base his "understanding.

World of Beauty in the Rocks There used to be a tall old man in these parts 'who went out of Sundays to the gravel bars of the Willamette and Santiam rivers and walked slowly oyer and over them, now and then stopping to prod at something and maybe pick it up and examine it with expert eye. Over en shoulder bag was slung to hold rock specimens. His neck was fixed in a permanent bow from looking downward at the rocks.

In his photograph gallery he had the most marvellous collection of polished specimens then extant in Oregon and anyone could come and marvel. Some folk here remember this man who Is gone now, remember his eagerness to share and explain his treasures. He was the first of the local rockhounds now look at them. They have clubs, hold meetings and exhibitions, go on field trips, revel In the marvels of nature many of them never knew of before. There art sermons in stones and there is wonder and beauty.

A new book, Getting Acquaint-With Minerals by George Letch-worth English and David E. Jensen points up the matter. It's not wholly new, the book, for two decades ago a first edition with the same title was published. But the text of the revised edition, has been expanded and rearranged to make the book as useful as possible to the beginner, while having equal appeal to the advanced mineralogist. New chapters on radioactivity and gem cutting have been added.

The chapter on fluorescence has been updated. With the exception of a few line drawings, all the hundreds of drawings and photos are new. -There's little space left here to go into the book. But we note some Oregon examples: Among magazines for the collector is recommended The Mineralogist, published in Portland; a photo shows a conchoidal fracture of obsidian from Lake county, and another photo shows an Oregon "thunder egg" cut and polished Into star-like beauty. Oregon is one of the few places in the United States where such nodules can be found and they are found by just prodding lightly iu the soft volcanic ash around our many cinder cones and sleeping volcanoes.

Everything from finding and identifying to cutting and displaying is in the book. GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH MINERALS By George Letchworth English and David E. Jensen. 361 pp. Index.

In 1940 most people in the neighborhood of the hamlet Zion had cars. Coit Disko rode in his buggy behind his good mart.

A car had once done a thing to him he could never forget At the ancestral home Coit carefully lowered himself from the buggy to the ground, hobbled on crutches inside, to the cripple's chair hekept before tha fireplace of native stone. On his way in he'd seen his small sons. Harper and Ran-cell, concentrated on their squirrel guns. Across his lower fields he had seen the tumbledown pigsty where the Spicers lived like pigs. He sat before his fire, where be would sit wakeful most of the night.

In his sharp mind dark goblins of the past rose, leaping as the flames leaped when the colored man, the wino Buckshot, heaped on fresh wood. Armin Frank, a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, opens his novel The Flesh ef Kings with a heavy and foreboding atmosphere which carries on, redolent with the things of night, with the nature of men's souls, throughout. The soughing wind wakens at dusk. Quiet Harper and fervid Rancell hear the strange mourning noises that come with the dead of. night.

The garage outside is locked, never to be opened. A key hangs over the mantel where Coit Disko broods the endless nights away. By day the Spicer clan thieves and nibbles at the fringes of the wealthy Disko 'holdings. There is no mother in the house, only Coit and wine-happy Buckshot, who drinks to forget what he, too, saw, the night the car smashed Coit and made his loved one a pillar of flame. The boys know this, but cannot know what devils ride Coit, who to them is fair and firm as he tries to teach them the things a man is made of, what things in life are worthy and what are beneath them.

He never teaches his woods-colt sons the secret of his pennance, or the inheritance in him, come down from stern redskinned men who first were the lords of these mighty hills and beaming meadows. Armin Frank the Marine officer must have known such scenes and peopleto create them as dramatically as he has. His story carries the Disko boys on to manhood and, briefly, to war in Korea; Harper the quieter boy knows a true love with Lily, in a wild forest bocage. And in the end the Spicers the evil side of men But that denouement should be left to the reader. He should be mature, the reader, and one to understand lyricism even in tragedy, one to sense turbulent beauty in the meted fates of men.

3, 1958, the nuclear-powered submarine Nautilus arrived exactly at the North Pole, the first ship in history to perform that feat. On Aug. 5 the Nautilus surfaced in the Greenland sea after run under the Polar ice from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Her skipper, Cmdr. William R.

Anderson, USN, tells the story in as thrilling an account as maritime records can offer. FAN-DAMN-TASTIC Two hours south of the Pole, a wave of unchecked excitement swept through Nautilus. Every man was up and about, and unabashedly proud to be aboard. Frank Adams, staring intently at the electronic gear, uttered a word often employed by Nautilus men who have exhausted all ordinary expressions to sum up their reaction to the never-ending Nautilus triumphs: "Fan-damn-tastic." Nautilus North. The 116 men aboard the Nautilus had shared two previous sorties against the ice pack, one a voyage of exploration from the eastern approach, the second an attempt to win through, an attempt turned back because the course lay too far north, ended with the Nautilus backine out from the pincers of gigantic ice a few feet above and a mountainous sea bottom a few feet below.

That voyage was from Pu-get Sound ostensibly to the South seas and ended up at Pearl Harbor. Thence the Nautilus sailed again, under strictest secrecy, with orders that she must not be detected as she crept close to Russian shores. This time, entering maverick ice close to Point Baranoff, the ship found the deep trough leading into the Chukchi sea and north. Saturday, August 2, found 116 people running along at 400 feet at 20 fast knots on course ooo true, just 44 hours short of the goal. On their closed-circuit TV screen the ice overhead showed "almost solid and incredibly rough, projecting downward as much as 125 feet from the surface." The constant pings of sonar instruments filled the ship as recording pens' traced the underside of the ice and the fathometer charted deep water beneath, with sudden great peaks rising to less than 500 fathoms.

"I camped alongside the fathometer for several hours, intently watching the rugged tor 's- if MMTCR By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Gnrespradent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Douglas Fairbanks fair-haired boy at the Court of St. James, may forego his film career to concentrate on his activities as a popcorn ty coon and other commercial ventures. Fairbanks, debonaire and English-accented, now is selling popcorn to English movie theaters instead of peddling, his old celluloid charm. It's been seven 'years since Jun ior has made a movie and as of the moment he has no plans to return to the screen nor to performing on television again. "I have no great desire to return to acting," he said.

"Acting is an insecure business, dependent on too many outside factors that don't trouble people in other professions. If 1 fail in a business deal I have 'no one to blame but myself. This is not true in pictures." Outside Interests Profitable In addition to his Dougfair Movie Company, Fairbanks is a director of a successful ballpoint pen company (Scriptb), part owner of an industrial development concern, a camera corporation, a hotel syndicate and a big wheel in Pirns Popcorn which dis tributes popcorn to British Theaters, hotels and pubs. I must admit I ve made more money outside of the movies," the natty actor-businessman grinned. But in all honesty I have to add that the business world isn't as absorbing as performing in or producing films.

There is a great section on Spirituals containing all the timeless pleadings, "Do, Lord, Remember Me," "Nobody Knows the Tsouble I've Seen," "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho," "Go Tell tt on the Mountain," "When the Saints Go Marching In," "No More Auction Block." And further sections have ballads, pas- time rhymes, blues, work songs, jazs folk (Jelly Roll Morton Remembers, Letters from Bunk Johnson and many more); Harlem jive songs, poetry and prose. It will be seen that this is a compendium, and such collections have been made before. But the best part here is the interpretation, written or selected by the authors. The carryover from Negro folktales into general American writing and recent characterizations like Stepin Fetchet, Rochester, and Amos n' Andy is seen also in the works of William Faulkner and Mark Twain. The blues pro- vide a taproot of tremendous vitality.

If there is a tendency to dismiss all the types of Negro folklore as primitive outpourings, the present authors quickly demolish that. The blues have become an American idiom in a broad sense. We read, "A time came when even 'Dry 'When the Saints Go Marching In' and 'He's Got the Whole World in His Hand' seemed to express a national mood." The American Negro slave, adopting Brer Rabbit as hero, represented him as the most frightened and hapless of creatures: but his essential characteristic was his ability to get the better of bigger and stronger animals. To the slave the theme of weakness overcoming strength through cunning proved endlessly fascinating. The Negro preacher (many sermons are reproduced here) was in truth the shepherd of his flock.

He eased the hard journey with the comforting "You may have all dis world, but give me Jesus." Successful sermons took on the pattern of folk art; John Jasper became famous for his "De Sun Do Move," and thousands, white and black, flocked to his church to hear it. Other preachers adapted it. The same happened with such numbers as "Dry Bones" and "The Train Sermon," sometimes called the Diamond Express, running between here and hell, making IS stops and "arriving in hell ahead time." The Negro preachers created the setting in which the spirituals were born. Black Harry preached from the same platform with other founders of the Methodist church and John Led man, in his History of the Rise of Methodism hi America wrote, "The truth was that Harry was a more popular speaker than Mr. Asbury (Bishop Francis Asburyt or almost anyone else in his day." Little more than two generations separate the Negro from general illiteracy.
