Army Forms
Space Flight
Plans for Man
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Armv has Dut on paper a plan to
shoot a man into space in a Red
stone missile and then bring him
safely back to earth.
A spokesman for the Advanced
Research Projects Agency said
the 'Army proposal was one of sev
eral space man projects submitted
by the Army, Navy and Air Force.
A list of these proposals prob
ably will be made public soon,
the spokesman said, including one
from a 12-year-old boy which was
so practical the research agency
is considering underwriting a
career in science for the lad.
A Glimpse of what the Army
has in mind was obtained Friday
from testimony of Dr. Herbert
York, ARPA s chief scientist, be
fore a House Appropriations sub
committe. York appeared before
the subcommittee April 23 and the
testimony was made public re
cently.
York didn't go into many details
but he did say the space flight
was planned to last six minutes
and the vehicle selected was the
Redstone rocket.
This missile, 63 feet long and
using a liquid propellant, was the
basis of the modified Jupiter-C,
missile which hurled the first U.S.
earth satellite into orbit Jan. 31.
Presumably the Redstone would
have its warhead section rede
signed to hold a man. The two
other sections of the missile hold
the power plant and guidance
system.
The ARPA spokesman said,
however, "There is no status to
the Army proposal at this time.

Hope Feted at
Watermelon
Man's Party
ST. LOUIS. ) Sam Zvible
man (The Watermelon man) had
a party for an old customer
Bob Hope.
Sam's outdoor watermelon Jot
looked like the setting for a Hol
lywood premiere.
When the comedian bought his
first watermelon from Sam 17
years ago he just walked out to
Sam's horse drawn cart and
picked out a likely one.
Thursday night it was no private
affair. Police had to keep the
crowd back. Spotlights illuminated
the watermelon lot and Hope rode
up to it in a police car with the
siren screaming.
With Hope came a busload of
performers from Municipal Opera
where the funny man is appearing
in his first musical in 20 years.
It is "Roberta." the one that gave
Hope his start on Broadway 25
years ago.
Sam and5 Hope posed for a pic
ture, both biting into the same wa
termelon slice.
Hope looked at Sam and then
quipped: "Sam, shall we eat it
or play it?"'
The posing ever, Hope got down
to the business at hand. He ap
peared to enjoy it.
"Watermelon is very healthful,"
he announced with a true show
man's flair between bites. "Not
only that, it is very filling. I dis
covered that in my old vaudeville
days when my pay was consider
ably lower."
