U.R) The Uni versity of Cincinnati claims one of the country's most notable bird collections. Included in its more than 6,000 specimens from every con tinent is the Brandt Memorial Collection of 1,100 hawks, larg est and finest hawk representa tion in the world. The specimens were the gift of local public-minded persons, who began negotiations for the collection in 1955. The collec tion came to Cincinnati from Cleveland, O., by truck. The collection represents 40 years work by the late Herbert W. Brandt, wealthy Cleveland wholesale provision dealer. He led 42 expeditions, including four to the Arctic, to obtain the specimens. The collection was acquired for the university from Brandt's widow, who was anxious to have it stay in Ohio. Among the Brandt collection's rarities, in addition to the hawks, are a whooping crane, a monkey-eating eagle from an inaccessible Filipino mountain area, a Cali fornia condor and a passenger pigeon.

Firms Undertake Powerful Rocket For Satellite Washington (U.R) Two firms working separately have undertaken to produce for the Earth satellite project the most powerful small rocket ever created. To do it, engineers say, they will have to achieve a king size "breakthrough" in the art of rocketry. Their job is to perfect the un precedented third rocket stage which will give the satellite its final gigantic thrust into space, doubling its second stage speed to a gravity balancing 18,000 miles an hour. Award of the final stage con tracts was announced jointly to day by the Navy and the Martin Co., prime contractor of the 72 f o o t three - rocket "vehicle" which will launch the first arti ficial moon. Right on Schedule Also announced were two other contracts for electronic and mechanical control mechin isms which will keep the ve hicle headed the right way until the satellite has been pushed into its assigned space path around the Earth. All of the major contracts in cluding those for the first and second rocket stages, have now been awarded, and the satellite project, according to Martin en gineers, "is right on schedule." It was learned that flight tests for the rockets are scheduled to start in November. They will be held, it was said, at the Patrick Air Force Base, Cocoa, Fla., where the satellite will be launched next year. California Firm Chosen Picked to develop the third stage power plant, a device unique in the history of rock etry, were the Grand Central Rocket Co., Redlands, Calif., and the Allegany Ballistics Labora tory, operated by the Hercules Powder Co. for the Navy at Cumberland, Md. They will work independently under a requirement by Martin that thev produce "a breakthrough." This rocket, smallest of the three, must pack far more power for its size than any other ever conceived for a practical purpose. The other contracts disclosed today went to Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Co., and Vickers Electric Division, Vick ers, Inc., St. Louis. Minneapolis - Honeywell will build a system of gyros that will keep a constant check on the launching vehicle's comportment as it soars toward the satellite's orbit. If the vehicle tends to roll, pitch, or wobble the gyros will flash electronic instructions to an auto-pilot which will be built by Vickers. Acting on the gyros' instructions, the auto-pilot will keep the vehicle on its prede termined course. Brando May Shave Hair From Chest Tokyo (U.R) Actor Marlon Brando told a news conference yesterday he may shave the hair off his chest to make himself look more like a Japanese.

State Institution Site May Be Changed Salem (U.R) The State Board of Control said yesterday that if a new $13,000,000 Air Force base is located in the Woodburn area, a new site for the state's 86,000, 000 intermediate institution must be found.
