IP) The Navy mustered ground parties today to search for a pod of 52 "extremely dangerous" magne sium flares which ripped from the wing of a jet photo plane over central Florida. "One of these flares would light up Times Square so bright you couldn't even see the lights of Broadway," chief journalist Bob Ohl said at the Jacksonville Naval Air station. The pod, whever it lies, may be triggered by the slightest im pact or even by a hot sun, Ohl said. He said that the 52 flares would have a total brilliance of more than 2,500,000,000 candle power. The four-foot, streamlined pod dropped from the wing of an F9F-8P Cougar jet piloted by Lt. (jg) Edward Chorlton Tues day night about seven miles southwest of Lake George, the Navy said. Ohl said it was believed un likely the pod fell near any de veloped property but said it was feared likely to touch off a fire in the Ocala National forest if triggered by an animal or by the sun. The pilot intended to release the flares one at a time while photographing the impact zone of a target area at Pincastle Air Fore base, Ohl said. Each flare would like up a five-milea area, he said.

Missile Explodes At Base in Florida Cocoa Beach, Fla. OFi A guided missile exploded and burned early today as it was be ing readied for a test firing at the missile test center at Patrick Air Force Base near here. A spectacular explosion fol lowed by a huge ball of fire that lighed up the sky, shook resi dents from their sleep. The cause of the blast remained a mystery for hours but the Air Force later confirmed that it was caused by a guided missile, and said there were no injuries. A spokesman at the base re fused to disclose the type of mis sile involved or details leading to the fire. Pentagon sources in Washing ton said the missile, a big one, was not armed. They said the missile was on a test stand be ing prepared for launching when some fuel spilled and the fire started. Democrats Abandon Tax-Cutting Bill Washington (If) The Demo cratic high command indicated today it has abandoned plans to push a tax-cutting bill through the House this year. The hint came shortly after President Eisenhower's news conference, Speaker Sam Ray- burn told newsmen the House will proceed with a study of the tax question but that he doubts now that any action will be taken before next year. . But Rayburn held fast to an earlier prediction that income taxes will be reduced, effective next Jan. 1. It was clear that Rayburn's apparent decision to postpone ac tion until next year was reached before Eisenhower spoke out strongly against a tax cut at his news conference. It appeared to have been based on a report Tuesday from congressional staff tax experts that federal spending is rising faster than Congress can cut it. 1797 1955 Ford Sta.
