Underwater Guided Missiles To
Replace Torpedoes Being Readied

United Press Correspondent
Pasadena, Calif. 1? A new
arsenal of "fantastically lethal"
weapons, designed to make the
oceans too ho; for Russia's sub
marine fleet, are quietly being
hatched here by a small group of
U. S. Navy brain boys.
These weapons are known as
"underwater guided missiles."

Editor's note: Ih Family Council consists of m Judge, a, psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers. Each

Eunice B. We've had bad'
luck with men but I'm hopeful.
Sheila F. I've been burned
too badly.
Eunice R. Sheila and I are
two girls in our mid-20s. We i
have both had very bad experi
ences with men. It's just our bad
luck, I guess, but anyway I'm
hopeful and I always expect the
best. Sheila, however, has gotten
so she doesn't trust anyone and
doesn't want to go out.
We both always seem to run
into the same kind of thing. We
go out with a man a few times
and then he expects to have an
affair. Men dorr't seem to be
lieve in marriage any more and
a girl who holds out for a wed
ding license is called a prude.
This happens more and more as
you get older and I'm beginning
to regret I didn't marry at 18.
As far as I can see, though, the
best thing to do is to keep active
and in c i r culation. Sometime
you're bound to meet somebody
nice. But Sheila is my best friend
and I like to double-date with
her. If she doesn't go out, it
makes things harder.
Sheila F. I gjiess Eunice
hasn't been burned quite as bad
ly as I have, or she'd be just
as disgusted as I am.
I was engaged for a year to a
man I believed was absolutely
wonderful. But he turned out to
be a regular Jekyll-Hyde charac
ter. He started to lie, cheat, treat
me so meanly that little by little
he destroyed all my feeling for
him. Still I couldn't believe he
was so awful until he actually
physically abused me.
I suppose I'll get over it in
time, but right now I am just too
disillusioned to want to go out
with anyone. I feel I almost hate
all men. I realize I'll have to pull
myself together somehow and
think about rebuilding my life,
but it is hard when I had count
ed so much on this particular
man.
I don't want to influence Eu
nice and I feel she should go out
without me. I can't help think
ing, however, she's just a bit
naive. Maybe we both expect
too much.
The Council: These two girls,
seem to have gone strangely off
the beam in their social relation
ships. They ought to understand
that generally people get what
they really ask for, or a close
approximation of it. Human be
havior is directed toward creat
ing particular situations or rela
tionships. A WVTSfOW Of MCfflC twee

W don't mean to suggest the
girls want illicit relationships
with men. More likely, for some
strange reason, they want and
expect to be hurt, disillusioned
and humiliated by men. The ex
periences the girls describe could
happen once or twice to anyone,
but when it becomes the rule
rather than the exception, it is
time for them to examine their
own attitudes.
Both girls should take honest
surveys of their relationships
and Sheila should particularly
analyze her relationship with the
Jekyll-Hyde character. There are
such people in the world, but
they are few and far between.
Did she really see this man
as "absolutely wonderful" or did
did she make up his wonderful
characteristics in her own mind
just to prove far short he would
fall in terms of actual behavior?
Sheila should also ask herself
whether he really turned out to
be as black as she claims or
is she exaggerating a bit.'
If these girls are sincerely in
terested in marriage, they will
look for new sources of social
contacts to bring them in touch
with men of similar inclinations.
It is not enough to "stay in
circulation" as Eunice believes.
The area of circulation should be
planned.
Church contacts are good
and so are friendships with
happily married couples. The
girls should get over depending
upon one another for dates, for
they have the same self-defeating
pattern.

Head man is Cmdr. John J.
O'Brien, a veteran destroyer
skipper and one of the Navy's
top underweater ordnance ex
perts. O'Brien would rather call
his weapons '"guided missiles"
rather than torpedoes.
Torpedo 'First' Missile
"After al," he says, "the tor
pedo was the first guided missile
we had. It dates back along be
fore the household term associat
ed with today's airborne rockets.
"Just as the guided missile has
replaced the 50 caliber machine
gun in air-to-air combat, the un
derwater guided missile is re
placing the conventional tor
pedo in submarine combat."
O'Brien points out that the
torpedo is actually a small, un
manned submarine.
"Here at NOTS we have min
iaturized it; cleaned it up;
streamlined it hydrodynamical
ly; put in an electronic brain and
computers; equipped it with
high energy fuel and the most
advanced warheads known to
science.
A 'Pilot's Dreams'
This has resulted in a fantas
tically lethal, weapon."
The new torpedoes are a
pilot's dream. Where the old
torpedo bombers had to fly low
and slow in what often amount
ed to a suicide mission in order
to make their "fish" behave, the
modern counterparts will be
able to launch their torpedoes at
near supersonic speed and from
thousands of feet in the air.
The test station tried out these
new aerial torpedoes at Morris
Dam, a fresh water lake in the
San Gabriel mountains 30 miles
from the ocean. Here it operates
a monstrosity known as the "va
riable angle launcher," a bridge
like structure with one end an
chored to a cliff and the other on
a raft in the lake.
Down the launcher, which is
an long as a football field, the
engineers catapult 1,500 pound
torpedoes at speeds up to 750
miles an hour to see what hap
pens when they hit the water,
Water Poses Problem
Douglas Wilcox, head of the
underwater ordnance depart
ment, says one of the toughest
problems has been the riddle of
"water entry cavity.
This, he explains, is the pit
of water vapor and air suround-
ing the missile as it enters the
water, causing it to be damaged
and thrown out of kilter.
We have now arrived at a
state where we can devise the
best shape of the weapon to
overcome this," he said.
"We already have weapons that
can 'think' and we are in the
process of developing weapons
that can think better.
Delinquent Parking
Payments Lagging
All parking meter violations
must be paid within 24 hours or
face the possibility of having
the fine doubled, according to
police department officials.
The standard fine is 50 cents
for a meter-1 infraction. This is
upped to $1 when the 24-hour
period is passed, said the of
ficials. If the fine is not paid
within seven days, a bench war
rent will be issued for the viol
ator. ii a warrant is issued for a
parking meter violation, the car
owner must pay the $5 warrant
fee in addition to $1 for every
over-parking ticket, said police.
They urged citizens to pay their
fines within the 24-hour periood
to avoid the higher fine and
keep department bookeeping "to

Cily Rejects Car Bid
For Lack of Bidders
The city has rejected the only
bid received on an additional
police " car because of lack of
competitive bidding, according
to City Manager Robert A. Duff.
Bids will be reopened in about
60 days for the additional car,
said City Purchasing Agent
Richard V. Hogan. Hogan said
the bids might be extended even
farther if dealers did not have
their 1958 model cars in stock at
that time.
He reported the new car will
be let on bid at the same time
as the replacement of the five
cars now in service. Up for re
placement are four marked ancj
one unmarked car. Ihe new
station wagon will be marked
and put into use as a patrol
car.
Hogan said the only bid for
the additional car was 52,723.60.
He blamed the end of the cur
rent model year for lack of bids.

Russians Against
Cooperation in
Satellite Program
Washington IIP) Soviet sci
entists have disclosed conditions
which will ma'ke it difficult if
not impossible for most other
nations to track Russian earth
satellites by radtio.
They also reiiused to give any
details about vrhen they expect
to launch their first artifical
moon and about the orbit they
expect it to take in its flight
around the wodd.
Join Colleagues
Four Soviet scientists joined
scores of their colleagues from
a dozen other n ations at a confer
ence being held here this week
on rocket and satellite programs
for the International Geophysic
al year.
The other scientists had look-
be the nation that says to other
the negotiaticm table. We have
to restore thedr ugar to normal
ed forward eagerly to getting
technical information about the
Soviet program to put artificial
satellites into the sky. The Unit
ed States, the only other nation
with a satellite urogram, has
supplied a wealth of such infor
mation. Such information is necessary
for international cooperation in
tracking the artificial moons,
and precise tracking is necessary
for success of scientific experi
ments associated with the satel
lites. 'Miniirack' Stations
The U. S. and cooperating
countries have set up 10 so-called
"minitrack" radio stations
which will get the first informa
tion about the U.S. moons. Each
satellite will broadcast signals
on a frequency of 108 mega
cycles, and all of the the mini-
track receivers are geared to re
ceive on that frequency.
But Russian scientist Sergi M.
Poloskov announced that the
Soviet tracking signal will be
broadcast on only 40 megacycles,
which means minitract stations
are no good for keeping tabs on
the Soviet satellites.
Poloskov's announce ment
threw the rocket-satellite meet
ing into consternation. Western
scientists had understood the
Russians would employ a track
ing system compatible with
the U.S. System.
One American said it appeared
to him that the Russians are
deliberately trying to keep the
rest of the world in the dark on
their satellite program.

Traffic Toll Up
During August
Chicago (IT) The, nation's
traffic toll per month went up
in August for the first time since
last November, according to Na
tional Safety Council.
It said August deaths. 3,790,
were 5 per cent higher than the
3,610 in August, 1956, and the
highest August toll since 1941.
The council said part of the rise
may have been due to the fact
that August had five Saturdays
this year, one of them the Satur
day of the Labor Day week end.
Despite the August increase,
highway deaths for eight months
were down 2 per cent from the
same period last year, 24,730
against 25,200.
. According to the number of
deaths per 10,000 registered ve
hicles, cities with the best re
cords in each population group
at the end of eight months in
cluded: 750,000 to 1,000,000 San
Francisco; 500,000 to 750,000,
Seattle; 25,000-50,000, Las Vegas,
