IN RUSSIAN WATERS
U.S.-Manned Ice Island
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON, Mar. 13
An Arctic ice island manned by American scientists has floated into Sovietclaimed waters. The United States office of Naval Research said today that the four-mile-long Island, known as Arlis Two, had floated across the 180lh meridian which Russia claimed marked a boundary between Soviet and United States waters in the Arctic.
Dr. Louis Quam, a scientist of the research office, which supports meteorological and other studies on the floating laboratory, said he doubted that the Russians would object to the presence of the island.
Several Soviet-manned ice islands had floated into what the Russians in the past had acknowledged to be the “American side.”
