Vanguard More Than Just
Taxi Cab For Satellite
Br JOHN A. BARBOUR
Associated Press Science Reporter
NEW VORK Vanguard s
rocket which failed in lU climb
toward space is more than just a
satellite taxi cab.
Vanguard is the proving ground
for a highly sophisticated rocket
design.
Actually Vanguards advanced
design i a hazard ai well ai an
advantage.
Army rocket expert Wernher
Von iiraun. whose Jupiter-C
rocket system sent the firil Amer
ican satellite into orbit, compared
the Vanguard with the Jupiter-C.
But in practice, he taid, the
Vanguard is so sophisticated it is
a little difficult to launch while
the Jupiter-C is based on older
and more proved even more ob-solete-designs.
Faces Many Ouestiftns
Kurt R. Stehling. the man in
charge of Vanguard's proputsi.n
ystem, says that the Yan;uard is
facing a whole battery of rocket
questions more than other rockets
had tackled at one time
Kverything about the Vanguard
is designed for close to peak effi
ciency. That goes for the way it burns
its fuel, the amount of fuel it
burns, the guidance system, the
alignment, weight and the way the
various engines separate in flight
and fall away.
While some other rockets are
allowed fudge factors margins of
error the Vanguard allows for
little error.
In the firing of a rocket, the
smallest error can manifest itself
in flame and destruction
In overcoming these errors and

Pan American
Flight Denial
Affirmed By Ike :
WASHINGTON Jf The Civil
Aeronautics Board decision to
deny Pan American World Air
ways the right to serve Seattle
and Portland, Ore . oo lis "great
circle" route to Tokyo was af
firmed Tuesday by President Ei
senhower. '
In announcing the President's
action, the CAB said the route
would duplicate service which
Northwest Airlines now is author
ized to perform.
The decision was recommended
by the CAB last summer, but Ei
senhower withheld final action un
til the board provided more re
cent information on the increas
ing flow of transpacific passenger
traffic.
A Portland-Seattle to Tokyo
route now is being flown by Pan
American via Hawaii. Last year
the airline was authorized to fly
a great circle route to Tokyo from
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Northwest flies to Tokyo from
Portland and Seattle via Anchor
age, Alaska.
President Hosts
Nation's Scientists
; WASHINGTON JT President
F.Lsenhower didn't let a cold damp
en a coming out party for tne na
tion's top scientists at the White
House last night.
Smiling and reporting he felt
much better, the President pre
sided with Mrs. Eisenhower at the
first state dinner to which leading
scientists were invited.
Although it was actually a sci
ence-military dinner, the scien
tists, including four Nobel Prize
winners were in the majority
among the 98 guests.
There was a special air of ex
citement because most of the
guests had neves been to a glitter
ing White House formal affair and
because - hile the dinner was un
der way the Navy was trying to
launch its Vanguard rocket
Some three hours after the
guests had left the White House,
the Vanguard fizzled again.
Vanguard project director John
P. Hagen drank a toast in cham
pagne "to our baby," and then
stayed up to await word from
Cape Canaveral, Fla
The President had greeted both
Hagen and Wernher von Rraun,
designer of the Army rocket that
launched the Explorer satellite.

Portland Bus
Problem Grows
More Serious
PORTLAND r The threat of
a halt to Portland s mass trans
portation service Feb. 27 grew in
seriousness Wednesday.
There remained a lew asenues
of settlement after the Rose Cliy
Transit Co. said Tuesday it ws
not bluffing, but they called fur a
sharp about-face on the part of
somebody.
There was no indication that
anybody would budge from uie
position's which created the stale
mate in this city of 400.000.
The history went briefly Uke
this:
Rose City Transit, a company
owned in San Francisco, asked the
City Council to increase tares
from 20 cents a ride to 23 cents
State Public Utilities Commis
sioner Howard Morgan, who had
been having sharp arguments with
Portland Traction Co., whose in
terurban lines base the same
ownership as Rose City Transit,
cautioned the council that he has
the right to review rates.
Four of the councilmen look uie
city attorney's word that Morjan
was wrong, but Commissioner Or
mond R. Bean, himself a former
stale utilities commissioner, said
he wouldn't bypass the slate and
put in the higher fare by emer
gency ordinance.
The company gave the city a
deadline that could be met only by
emergency ordinance.
Tuesday, state Ally. Gen. Robert
Y Thornton in an opinion upheld
Morgans right to review uie
fares and Morgan said he p.ob
ablv wouldn't approve the in
crease So Bean stood fast in Ins
opposition and the company said
it wasn't bluffing and would c,jit
business.
There the matter stood Wednes
day with the next move a City
Council vote set for Thursday on
a regular ordinance to increase ihe
fare. It can't become effective by
the company's deadline.
Peeping Tom Case

Judge Warren T. DeLaerne
declared a mistrial when the com
plaining witness was unable to pos

Vanguard Head
Promises Re-try
WASHINGTON Despite dis
appointment at Project Van
guard's second failure early to
day, director John P. Hagen said
he will try "as soon as we can"
to send up another satellite rock
et His words were echoed by Dr.
Richard W. Porter, chairman of
the satellite technical panel for the
International Geophysical Year.
"As soon as possible," was Port
er's comment.
But neither would hazard a
guess as to when a third test at
tempt w-UI be made, or comment
on the failure's effect on a sched
ule which calls for a fully instru
mented satellite to be placed' in
orbit next month
Hagen, a mild man who neer
swears, cut loose with an "Oh,
no:" when the second rocket was
destroyed in flight, after deviating
from its course and breaking into
two pieces.

direct all outer space programs
in the Defense Department at
this time.
Eisenhower told bis newi con
ference the scientists woo are do
using him expect to work out a
program of outer space develop
ments which they believe are pos
sible and probaole-
He said this program" will be
distinct from detense projects in
the space field.
The defense program will be
pushed under the direction of llc
Elroy and his assistants, the Pres
ident said.
Eisenhower said that Wernher
von Braun and other scientists
would be among the Ust to pre
dict any timing for projects such
as sending a rocket to the moon.
But he said the scientists who
are now wonting for him intend to
rough in a program of outer space
achievement. He said they are not
so much interested in a time
schedule as they are in organiz
ing for space projects.

Then someone struck the idea
of making risk capital available.
Present-day banking regulations

Mod. a party with an industrial
plan was contacted, and business
men in the city raised S36.000 as
rick capital. That deal folded, but
the &6.00U still was available
From that point, McMinnville
has progressed.
Results Obtained
Some results. Elliott said, have
been a broadened tax base and
pride in the community.
Before the industrial surge,
bonds for a new junior high school
had been defeated twice. Now the
city has an Swu.WO school and a
$175,000 municipal pool, both ap
proved by confident citizens.
At the same time, the tax rate
ha been lowered.
The Sutherlin Chamber agreed
to take a go-slow attitude in
adopting any similar plan It was

But Western diplomats here were
puzzled by the timing of the at

Washington. These diplomats
agreed the timing was not ac
cidental. The newspaper Soviet Russia
criticized a series of stones Jord

interviews were not necessardy
typical and that their standards
of living were good by Soviet
standards. He also was criticized
for his "chronic distrust of the

government."

Experts had hoped that the les
sons learned from that first fail
ure would help pave the way to
success on the next attempt, but
officials emphasized before today's
attempt that the odds against get
ting the Vanguard's 3' -pound
moon into orbit still were 1.000 to 1.
Rocket Leaves Ground
The slender. 72-foot rocket left
the ground surely and gracefully,
riding a witch's broom of lemon
colored fire straight up into the
blue-black sky.
Its blazing exhaust lighted t h e
countryside and the roar of its en
gines shook sleeping persons awake
for miles around.
Observers watching the blastoff
from vantage points inside the test
center shouted as the Vanguard be
gan its arrow-true climb. But their
cheers died in their throats when
they saw the missile incline too
sharply, break up and plunge back
toward the moonlit Atlantic.
One huge ball of brilliant fire
seemed for a moment to be spin
nine back in the general direction
of the test center and an alarmed
observer yelled: "Look out, it's
coming our way!"
But the fireball disappeared as
it neared the ground. At the same
time, other sparkling fragments
w-ere seen plummeting into the
ocean two to three miles offshore.

Bows And Arrows
j Project Of WWIP
! WASHINGTON f The De
fense Department has lifted the
hd from its secret oows and ar
rows project of World War II.
The evidence shows it was no
laughing matter, although jokes
were made when its existence
first was publicized.
Rather, it was a subject of dead
v seriousness an attempt in
give American agents and cloak
and dagger personnel a quiet, ef
fective means of killing the en
emy. The bows and arrows project
began in 1943 when the Office of
Strategic Services said it needed
some "silent, flashless weapons"
in dealing with such persons, for
instance, as enemy sentries.
Research was undertaken at
Northwestern University where'
two dozen engineers, physicists,
mechanics and draftsmen came
up with working models of rubber
band-powered weapons resembling
medieval crossbows of King
Arthur's time. y
One model was found capable
of killing a man at 25 yards. An
other at 50 yards.
The researchers tested the ef
fectiveness of the weapons by fir
ing darts into big chunks of horse
meat. The deadliness of the weap
on was apparent when the lowest
powered model penetrated t h t
meat deeper than a .22 caliber

Dry Cleaners, Retail
Merchants Hold Talks
An impromptu discussion was
held Wednesday night, sponsored
bv the United Dry Cleaners Assn.
of Roseburg. at which they dis
cussed with Roseburg retail cloth
ing merchants the serviceable and
non-serviceable cleaning phases of
clothing.
The meeting was held at the
Umpqua Hotel with seven dry
cleaning establishments in the
Roseburg area represented and six
retail merchants represented. All
merchants were invited and an ad
ditional meeting is planned for the
future.
Clarence Honn. president of the
drv cleaners' association, describ
ed the meeting as one for "work
ing in closer cooperation with the
merchants of the area, in benefit
ing the buying public here."
The dry cleaning group pointed
out that items of certain fabric
sold in stores are not adaptable to
drv-cleaning and washing methods.
The dry cleaners attempted to dis
tinguish between items of service
able and non-serviceable cleaning
nature to the retail merchants in
order to suggest possible tips for
future wholesale purchasing.
