H. (UPI Telephoto). INQUIRY CONTINUES Former Skipper Testifies On Previous Dive Trouble PORTSMOUTH, N. H. (UPI) A former skipper of the ill-fated submarine Thresher testified before a Navy court of inquiry today the vessel had "trouble" on the first deep dive shortly after it was commissioned -in August 1961.

Cmdr. Deane L. Axene said the dive was virtually at the same spot in the Atlantic where the Thresher sank Wednesday with a loss of 129 men. Axene, presently on leave, was Winchester Group Asks Assist On Sanitary District Another step in the slow process of forming a sanitary district was achieved this week when representatives of the Winchester Civic Club asked the County Court for its assistance in forming the district. The court agreed to investigate the matter.

Subsequently, the office of the district consented to draw up the papers needed in connection with a hearing. The office will also make arrangements for an election if the matter reaches that point. The next step, said Joseph Weckerle, president of the club, will be to asl: the federal government for a loan to make a feasibility survey and estimate of the cost for setting up a sanitary district. Weckerle said if the report proves such a district feasible, monies would be sought to finance the project. He stated that the assessed valuation of the Winchester area is $689,630 which is 25 per cent of the appraised valuation.

Bonding companies would loan up to per cent of the appraised valuation, or approximately 000. Weckerle said the cost of setting up the district would probably not exceed $150,000. The visit to the County Court and district attorney's office came about as the result of a Wednesday night meeting of the Winchester Civic Club. Besides a resume on the sanitation situation by Weckerle, at the meeting, Don Hurley reported on the recent Unicom meeting The committee appointed to visit the County Court was augmented by Jack Osborn, sanitarian, and J.

Five slingloads of delicate seientific equipment in waterproof containers were moved by this method late Friday. But the sea was too rough for the four men from the Woods Hole, Oceanographic Institution, needed to operate the sensitive echosounding gear, to make the "highline" trip. Sydney Knott, head of the expedition, said they would make the transfer "when the seas are calmer." Would Mark Spot Improvement in the weather also would make it possible for the Hazelwood to drop a anchor on a nylon line more than a mile and a half long.

A "signpost" buoy will be attached to the line as a marker where the Thresher started her ill -fated dive. The buoy wil: serve as a permanent reference marker for search vessels. The search continued here as a board of inquiry opened hearings in Portsmouth, N.H., where the Thresher was built. The Navy Friday brought to Portsmouth a box full of possible evidence scooped from the ocean near where the Thresher sank. It included two rubber gloves, two medicine bottles of sea water containing oil slick, some cork and plastic and one partly squeezed tube with the printing "baker's flavoring" on it.

Vice Adm. Bernard L. Austin, head of the inquiry, said the flotsam could have been from the Thresher but that he was awaiting further tests before making a final determination. The search scene is 225 miles east of Cape Cod near the spot where the Thresher was believed to have gone to the bottom Wed- nesday Bounces Sound Waves The scientific team planned to bounce echoes off the ocean floor in a sort of "dragging" operation. Should one of these impulses strike the Thresher, the scientists would be able to mark its location.

Once the location of the ship was pinpointed, it was hoped that the bathyscaph Trieste, due here within two weeks, would be able to descend near the Thresher and take photographs of the wreckage.

Outlook Dims On Receiving Sewer Money Roseburg's chances of getting accelerated public works funds to install storm sewers in the blast area near the South Umpqua River appear to be going aglimmering.

U. S. Rep. Robert B. Duncan reports the full House Committee on Appropriations has denied a request for an appropriation of $450 million more for the APW program in the nation.

He calls it "a serious mistake." "If this decision cannot be reversed, it will cripple efforts to help combat the persistent high level of unemployment in economically depressed areas of Oregon and Duncan said. "It will bring to a halt many projects which would stimulate the economy as One of the projects mentioned is the reque by the city of Roseburg for $26,000, which it would match, for the storm sewer project. Continuing, Duncan said the money recommended by an appropriations subcommittee "does not even fulfill the total authorization." He said such an appropriation would provide jobs for less than 10 per cent of the unemployed in economically depressed. areas eligible under the Roseburg has been named as one of these areas.

Ways and Means Committee members replied they were "shocked."

The board said it desires to keep "the able teachers now on Oregon campuses." It said Oregon has achieved "a high level of educational quality." It is the clear duty of the board to protect this quality," it said. It said budget cuts also would bring cutbacks in auxiliary service programs such as agricultural research, the teaching hospital and clinics, the federal cooperative extension service, and the crippled children's division.

Something Wrong He said it then became necessary "to halt the course of the dive because the instrument gauges, indicated something was wrong." Axene said he did not believe the difficulty was in the hull of the submarine. During the test, he said, there were several civilian technicians aboard, as there were when the Thresher sank. Axene, after his leave, will take an assignment on the nuclear submarine John Calhoun which now is under, construction at Newport He was the executive officer aboard the first atomic submarine Nautilus. Others Under Scrutiny The board, headed by Vice Adm. Bernard L.

Austin, president of the Naval War College, also was to board and closely inspect two of the Thresher's sister ships, Jack and the Tinosa. The Jack is to be commissioned April 24. Displayed on a piece of white cardboard on a table in the hearing room were sodden articles and bits scooped from the turbulence Atlantic near the place where the Thresher began her fateful dive. "It looks like material used in A the scientific construction of our submarine, analysis will made here to determine if this is Austin said Friday. The articles included two rubber gloves, two medicine bottles of sea water containing oil, "some cork and plastic and partlysqueezed tube with thee printing "Baker's Flavoring" on it.
