Weird Structure
To Launch Missiles
Edwards AFB, Calif. (U.R)
The Air Force was completing
today a weird structure that will
eventually lead to launching of
rockets and guided missies twice
the size of anything currently
possible.
The structure is being con
structed high on a rocky cliff
in the Mojave Desert. It is a giant
concrete test stand designed to
hold in harness rockets having
up to 1 million pounds of
thrust.
Previous test stands built by
the Air Force have only been
able to handle rocket engines
up to 500,000 pounds in thrust.
The new stand looks like some
thing created by a science fiction
writer. The test stand itself juts
from the top of the cliff like an
unfinished concrete cantilever
bridge that the builders aband
oned and left jutting into space.
The towers rise 10 stories high.
The Air Force said that the
stand must be able to withstand
tremendous upward strain as
well as to bear the dead weight
of huge rockets.

Sociologist Shaffers
Stereotype of Farmer
Ithaca, N.Y. (U.R) The no
tion of overall-clad country folk
gawking at tall buildings and
city dwellers trying clumsily to
harness a team of horses has
been shattered once and for all,
according to a Cornell univer
sity professor.-
"There never really was much
truth." said Prof. W. A. Ander
son, "to the belief that the rural
mind was .narrow and farmers
could be detected by their out
look and physical appearance.
"A farmer can walk up Broad
way and you cannot tell if he's
a farmer or business executive,"
the rural sociologist added. .
"In fact there may be some
danger that we may become too
much alike."
Anderson said increased edu
cation, communication and trav
el have made rural and urban
people alike in customs, dress
and "the way we think."
