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.

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!
