By WALTER BARKDULL United Press Correspondent Moffett Field, Calif. U.R) Progress is being made on de velopment of intercontinental missiles that will roar to their targets at speeds up to 15,000 miles an hour, the National Ad visory Committee for Aeronau tics reports.. The announcement, made by the NACA at the triennial in spection of its Ames Aeronauti cal Laboratory here, marked the first statement by a responsible federal agency that such missiles were even considered possible. The NACA said all of its labor atones were making " a con certed attack" on the "formid able" problems remaining to be solved. The scientists said the biggest problem is that of the heat generated in the missile by the hypersonic speeds. And, they reported, they think they may lick the problem by making the missiles sweat like humans. The scientists call the transpiration cooling method the "most promising yet." In the transpiration system a liquid or gas would be forced through the porous skin of the missile just as perspiration is forced through the pores of a human skin to cool. it. Wind Tunnel Studies This, the Ames scientists said, would cool the fast-traveling mis sile by the evaporation of the liquid. In addition,-the liquid than aiming at and hitting the I which the Germans bombarded ted by bullet fired from another gun." London in World War II, trav- would cut the heat generated acting as a lubricant to reduce heat producing friction. Without some protective de vice, a missile traveling at 15,000 miles an hour would burn out like a meteor as it zoomed through the earth's atmosphere. The NACA said temperatures in a missile traveling only 7,000 miles an hour would rapidly climb to 8,000 degrees Faren heit while a missile doing 15,000 miles" an hour would generate the heat of a thousand steam boilers. Further studies of the heat problem will be made in a new wind tunnel at Ames where mod el missiles can be subjected to air moving six times the speed of sound and heated to 1,200 de grees. The laboratory expects to start construction this fall of another tunnel where models may be fired at speeds of 12,000 to 15, 000 miles an hour through var ious densities of air. The NACA said the "most sig nificant advantage" of such high speed missiles would be their "relative invulnerability to pres ently known methods of de fense.'.' Glide Missile As one " scientist put it, the problem of destroying a missile moving at 20 times the speed of The NACA said two types of missiles were under study. One, the ballistic missile, would be shot from the earth's surface into space. It would be aimed like an artillery shell and des cend on its unsuspecting target by gravity. The second type is the glide missile. Like the first its rocket engine would provide its acceler ation within the first few min utes. But unlike the ballistic missile it would remain within the atmosphere, gliding on its wings in a shallow arc to its target. The NACA said the second type might permit it to be land ed under control. This would permit the glide missile to be used for possible commercial purposes. J. F. Parsons, assistant direct or of the NACA, was reluctant to set a date when such hyper sonic missiles might be opera tive. But in answer to a question whether it would take 15-20 years, he said that was a "pessi mistic view." Parsons said he expected de velopment would come in stages, with a 5,000 mph missile possib ly being perfected first, then a 10,000 mph missile one. The highest speed unclassified eled at 3,500 miles an hour. Hillsboro (U.R) Decision on which set of parents will have custody of chubby, nine-months-old David Martin Casteel until the courts finally dispose of the case will be up to the Washing ton County Welfare commission. The commission has been awarded temporary custody of the child, subject of a continuing court battle, by the Washington County Circuit Court. The com mission will decide whether the boy will stay with his real par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Cas teel, or his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wesley Rem ington. David now is living with the Remingtons, who have had the youngster since a few days after his birth. The Casteels signed prelimin ary adoption papers at the time. Later they changed their minds and asked the court to return custody of the boy to them. sound is "even more difficult missile now known, the V-2 with o jbu can hay this Ihk Boast only at pscfewegr Every cut of beef Safeway sells is nothing less than G or one reason . O afed. as only Safeway can do it o O o PROPER AGING is reason No. 1 why youU find your best meat value at Safeway! For example: Each Pot Roast you buy at Safeway is aged so you taste its full natural tenderness and flavor. To assure you properly aged meat, Safeway built in this area a million dollar Central Meat Plant. Here Safeway meats are held in air-conditioned aging rooms, at controlled temperatures, the exact number of days required to develop peak goodness. NOTE OUR "PERFECT EATING" TRIM: As photo above shows, each Pot Roast you buy at Safeway provides all the good-eating meat that belongs on a true Pot Roast. There's lots of lean pot-roasting meat and very little bone in proportion to meat; the fat is trimmed close before your purchase is weighed, so you save money. Safeway meat-trimming means better eating and better value! ' ;;.AND TOP GRADES ONLY! Each Pot Roast you buy at Safeway is from U. S. Government top grades of beef (actually, only meat of the top grades is improved by aging!). This tender, juicy meat is packed in sterilized boxes at our Central Meat Plant and delivered to Safeway stores by refrigerated trucks. At Safeway meat counters and at our self-service meat sections, you get the same quality!
