Twelve vessels are the search anca and McCain said they will be joined by four others. including the Polaris missile-submarine Thomas Jef- ferson. Oceanographers were on the scene. using special echo sound gear to draw a sort of road map of the bottom. 1% miles down. where the stricken Thrasher lay.

There was no sense of ur- gency. All hope‘ for the 129 men aboard was gone.

FLAG LOWERED

'ohe flag at the Thresher‘s home port of Portsmouth. N.H.. was lowered to half-staff in poignant signal to wives and children in nearby Admiralty Village that they must, in the words of Navy Secretary Fred K ort h. "compose themselves and endure their grief."

President Kennedy issued an ch. Fla. that the flags on all US. gov- ernment vessels and buildings be flown at half-staff until sun- set Monday.

The president said this is be- ing done as “a mark of respect to the memory of those who gave their lives when the USS Thresher was lost."

McCain disclosed that the evi- dence on w ' the navy's top command based its conclusion Thursday that the Thresher def~ in“.er was lost included these findings of debris from the missing sub's interior:

1. The Thresher’s escort ship Skylark recovered 10 pieces of cork and a fragment of yellow

plastic at 5:50 pm Wednesda six miles southeast of its last contact point with the sub-

merged vessel. The last contact was 9:17 a.m. the same day. 2. At about the same time the
