The Air Force said the failures were due "primarily" to unfa vorable weather, and that there had been no malfunctions in the rockets themselves. The project, known as "Far side."' is being conducted on Eni wetok atoll in the Pacific. The plan called for a rocket to be lifted to a height of 100,000 feet on a platform carried by a huge balloon. Then, under the plans, the rocket was to be fired to an altitude of more than 1,000 miles. Adverse Temperaturei The Air Force said that in four launching attempts made since last month, extremely low temperatures found at high alti tudes "have had adverse effects on the balloon, with the result that the rockets have not been properly positioned to achieve the desired results." In two cases, the Air Force GOLD HILL Plans Made For Dinner By MRS.

In the other two cases, the rockets were not fired. Two More Attempts The program calls for trying a total of six rockets, of which four have been used in the un successful attempts. The Air Force said the two which remain at Eniwetok will be launched when atmospheric conditions be come more favorable. The tests at Eniwetok were preceded by an experimental bal loon launching near New Bright on, Minn., June 28. The purpose was to see whether a balloon could actually carry the 1,900 pound rocket. The test balloon, billed as the world's largest, carried almost two tons of military equipment and instruments to an altitude of 104,000 feet. Such an altitude would put the rocket above 99 per cent of the atmosphere, eliminating most of the drag on the rocket. hospital at Vallejo, Calif., and her mother, Mrs. Barnie Old field, of Klamath Falls.

CRUSADE PRESENTS Wednesday October 16, 1957 Market Advance Snags At Predicted Levels New York HP The ad ance in the stock market snag ged today at levels Wall Street had predicted.
