Satellite Launching To Require
Largest Rocket Yet Put To Use
Evanston, 111. (UP.)
launching of a tiny satellite
weighing no more than lOO
Jjbunds will require a multi
s:age rocket larger than any yet
fcred, a rocket fuel expert said
today.
Dr. Noah S. Davis Jr., said
the rocket will have to be larg
er than the combined WAC Cor
poral and V-2 launched at
White Sands, N.M., In mankind's
closest approach yet to outer
space.
Davis, liquid fuels specialist
of the Buffalo Electro-Chemical
Oco., is one of the nation's top
socket scientists attending a
symposium on gas dynamics
sponsored by the American Rock
et society at Northwestern Uni
versity. Problems Licked
He said most of the technical
problems in launching the pro
posed satellite already have been
licked.
"It's mostly a question of man
power, materials and money," he
said.
The satellite would circle the
earth at an altitude of about 250
miles, he said, and this height
already has been attained by the
two-stage White Sands rocket.
Another stage would be -required,
he said, to launch the
satellite proper on its orbital
course around the earth.
James J. Harford, executive
secretary of the Rocket society,
The i said rockets have been traced
back to 1200 A.D., when they
supposedly were invented and
were first used as a military
weapon in 1232.
Justice Department
Gets Best Graduates
Washington (U.P.) The jus
tice department is going to in
crease its recruitment of law
graduates in its "get-the-best"
program.
Under the program, started
last year by attorney-general
Herbert Brownell Jr., the de
partment will select an addition
al 15 of the nation's top-flight
graduates. Last year's pick of
young lawyers has met with
considerable success, the depart
ment announced.
The recruitment program was
described by Brownell as having
two purposes:
1. The department wants and
needs the services of young top
flight lawyers.
2. The legal profession as a
whole will benefit by the train
ing of the young lawyers should
they eventually leave govern
ment service.
The attorneys, who are recom
mended by their deans, will par
ticipate in a five-day orientation
course in department procedure
before being given a legal position.
News of the development
spread quickly to Europe, Har
ford said, where they were com
monly used as fireworks and as
a "strictly unreliable" weapon.
But, for a while, he said, it seem
ed as if the rocket might replace
the cannon. Then improvements
in artillery rendered the rocket
obsolete.
Spectacular Comeback
Not until World War II, he
said, did the rocket make a spec
tacular comeback in the form
of the German V-2 and the Am
erican bangalore torpedo, or ba
zooka. Davis and Harford . said the
United States lost the lead to
Germany in rocket development
before and during World War
II despite the fact an American,
the late Robert Goddard, open
ed up the field of modern rock
et research with experiments
that begun in World War I.
Goddard showed that rockets
could be used to carry scientific
instruments to altitudes never
before reached.

I'll try to slip her a few bucks

Man Uses Slingshot In Hunting Squirrels
Blountsville, Ala. (U.R)
"Shorty Hutchen is so good with
a sling shot that he can shoot a
steel ball through the neck of a
soft drink bottle and knock the
bottom out.
And he just carved the 57th
notch in the handle of his lethal
little weapon for killing another
rattlesnake.
Shorty goes "rooting" about
three days a week, which
means he goes into the wood
seeking wild herbs to sell. He al
ways carries his -slingshot to kill
snakes, varmits and game and
even mad dogs. He is so accurate
that he can dust the ashes off a
cigarette at 15 paces.
From 40 feet, Shorty shoots
squirrels in the head. But he has
cut down a few from 100 feet
with head shots. He says it is
definitely not true that he shoots
them only in the left eye.
And he admits that when squir-

Shorty, whose real name is
Henry, is a 66-year-old farmer.
He took up serious shooting
with a slingshot when he was a
boy and has stuck with it. Now,
he is so good he spurns firearms
when it comes to hunting.
