" ' V Wfiaf Time s f?' Mgfif Gef You a Punch in Nose in Des Moines Next Week Des Moines, Iowa vlJ.RV Des Moines residents wondered to day how they will ever find out what time it is this summer. They may end up going to work on standard time, parking their cars on daylight time, and then reverting to standard time for an evening at their favorite bistro. All this may happen next Mon day. It's not quite final, which isn't surprising since City Coun cil already has made three de cisions on the matter all of them different. The unlikely imixup started two weeks ago when the council, after several weeks of hearings, gave final approval to an ordi nance putting the city on Day light Saving Time as of May 20. Th Only City It was the only city In Iowa to adopt "fast time" this year. The reaction to the "council's move was virtually . unanimous -against the idea. Farm organizations squawked loudly, radio and television stations said it was impossible, We MAIL TRIBUNE Time and businessmen said they could not go along with daylight time. The state of Iowa officially voted thaf daylight time would not apply to state offices in Des Moines. After what Mayor Ray Mills termed vociferous "non-cooperation," the council announced last Thursday that it had agreed in formally to drop Daylight Sav ing Time for this year. But it said it would leave the ordinance on the books for 1957. After this announcement, ev- IVomon Gives Birth To Child in Field Camby, Ind.

But on Monday the council met again for the simple chore of formally acting on their in formal solution. There was not exactly a meeting of the minds. Switches Signals One councilman switched sig nals and said he couldn't vote for an amendment which would drop Daylight Saving Time for this year but put it into effect next year. It was the crucial vote and the amendment was de feated. Then the minority block of the council proposed that the whole daylight time ordinance be rescinded. The majority re fused to accept the proposal and, when the councilmen got up to leave, the issue was right back where it started snafued. Now, unless something new happens, the city and its 1,300 employees will go on daylight time next Monday. Practically the entire remainder of the city will stay on standard time. visit us . , . and see how 'Scatter-Shots' By Anti-Aircraft Rocket Will Be Developed White Sands Proving Ground N.M. (U.R) The Army's Nike B anti-aircraft rocket will be able to carry an atomic warhead that would permit "scatter shots" against formations of enemy aircraft, a spokesman told United Press Wednesday. A small, controlled atomic de vice in Nike's nose would be the key to the high destructive potential of the rocket, the spokesman said. He asked that his name not be used. Pre Demonstration Ends The Army wound up its two day demonstration for the press Wednesday of the Nike's killing power. Included in the demon stration were firings of Corpor al and Honest John rockets. Newsmen saw Army launch ing crews with only four weeks of training fire six Nikes at Onv propellor-driven drone tar gets, and score three hits and two "lethal" near-misses. The sixth Nike blew itself up aloft when its radar mechanism fail ed. On Monday, two Nikes were fired at a 500-mile-an-hour drone target at 15,000 feet, and brought it down. Monday's fir ings of Corporal and Honest John were also flat ' on the ground targets. Wednesday's drone targets traveled at only 18 miles an hour, but ranged from 10,000 to 20,000 feet and bobbed about in the wind to make their seven-foot wing span and 10-foot length a very slippery, target. Incredible Speed But the newsmen saw Nike, a missile 20 feet long and one foot in diameter, climb with incred ible speed to 10,000 feet and then home tenaciously on the small, wind-tossed targets' with deadly effect. Army spokesmen made these claims for the controversial anti-aircraft missile, which the Air Force has compared unfav orably with its Talos, developed by the Navy: Nike 1, the present model, is "faster and more versatile than any plane with which we are familiar," and can be made to do figure eight aerobatics.- Nike 1 is the only operational Th Light Refreshing anti-aircraft missile now deploy ed on an operational basis, and is protecting 18 industrial cen ters in this country. It can speed as far as 70 miles in 102 seconds to inter cept targets, and will be improv ed to stay beyond the capacities of new aircraft. Floating Island Pulled Out To Middle of Lake Dundee, Wis. U.R) A fleet of motorboats huffed and puffed and managed to pull the floating island of Kettle Moraine into the middle of the lake Wed nesday. The island was anchored in the lake's center. Eventually, the boatmen hope to shove the three acre island aground somewhere along the west shore, where high winds broke it off last week. The island drifted around a while and then came to rest right in front of Dundee. Autoist in Lake Describes Escape Peschiera Del Garda, Italy (U.R) Max Horwick,- 35, of Munich, Germany, told ' today how he rescued himself when his car plunged into Lake Garda and sank to the bottom 67 feet deep. "I realized I could not. open the door of my car so I waited until the car was almost full of water, took a deep breath and bailed out through- a window."
