Ben Franklin Completes Tests
The Ben Franklin, Gram-man
Aircraft Engineering Cor*
poration's new research sub­mersible,
this week completed
a series of six test dives, in­cluding
a three-day continuous
submersion.
During the three-day test,
the six occupants of the Ben
Franklin worked, slept, ate,
washed and completed duty cycles
similar to those being formu­lated
for the Gulf Stream
Drift Mission next spring. That
four-week journey will carry
the Ben Franklin from Florida
to Massachusetts propelled only
by the current of the Gulf
Steam.
In addition to standing regular
k
four hour watches during the
72-hour test, the men prepared
their • meals from freeze-dried
foods reconstituted with hot
water, and through the craft's 29
portholes observed the fish at­tracted
by the boat. On the last
day of the dive, a small shark
appeared and frightened away
all the small fish. Also seen
were several barracuda and a
skate with a wingspan estimated
at four feet.
The submersible will be hauled
and drydocked for the next
few weeks while modifications
and changes dictated by the test
results are made. These are
aimed chiefly at eliminating
grounds in the external power
The Tobay Americans, Oyster
Bay Town's barnstorming hockey
squad, added their second and
third consecutive victories by
nipping Beaver Dam, 2-1, and
clobbering the Lakewood (NJ)
Hockey Club 11-1 last week.
Chris Blohm, assisted by Ray
Seeback both times, provided the
pair, of goals that spelled victory
in the Beaver Dam fray. Pete
Bostwick, on assists by Peter
Hearn and Dan Mosley, scored
the lone tally for the losers.
Mike O'Tbole, fired four pucks
into the nets and assisted on two
other scores as the Americans
swamped Lakewood. Other
American markers were record­ed
by Glen Casamassa (twice)
and Glenn Miller, John Sidlow-ski,
Chris Fisher, Allan Ashen-farb
and Ray Seeback.
The Americans, after an open­ing
game defeat, have really
started to jell and are now 3-1.

and propulsion systems.
In the second phase of dive
testing, the Ben Franklin will
undergo a, continuous series of
open ocean descents of in­creasing
depth, until the 2,000
foot maximum operating limit
is reached. This will cover an
estimated five-week period.
Court Upholds Metering Plan
Hempstead Town Presiding Supervisor Ralph
G. Caso today announced the r e s u l t s of a Supreme
Court decision which upholds the town's plan to
meter residential water s e r v i c e in the Levittown-
Island T r e e s area.
The metering program had been challenged in
court as " a r b i t r a r y and unreasonable" and a s i m ­posing
"an unnecessary financial burden on the
t a x p a y e r s ."
But Justice Daniel Albert, s i t t i n g in Nassau Su­preme
Court, d i s m i s s e d the petition, noting that
the New York State Water R e s o u r c e s Commission
in approving the sinking of t h r e e new w e l l s s e v e r a l"
y e a r s ago, " e x p r e s s l y conditioned i t s approval by
requiring (the town) to take immediate s t e p s toward
the metering of a l l . . . s e r v i c e s in the Levittown
Water D i s t r i c t " by June 1, 1972.
The Town Board has approved a $2.17 million
plan to install water m e t e r s in approximately 12 ;000
