U.S. Monkey's Altitude Record Passed
IBy Dog Traveling in Russia's Sputnik
Washington w Until the
Russians shot their dog Laika
1.000-plus miles into space, a
" U.S. monkey named Albert was
believed to have held the rec
ord as the highest living flying
creature.
Albert, who now resides at
Washington's zoo, was rocketed
38 miles high by the Air Force
in September, 1952. Two mice
went with him and survived,
but It was not known whether
.they are still alive.
Albert is one of a variety of
p, animals sent into the atmosphere
by the Air Force in rockets and
r balloons over' the past 10 years.
Some survived, some did not. All
were gatherer data which will

The Air Force said today it
sent a dog on a 30-hour balloon
flight at an altitude of more
than 70,000 feet in the summer
of 1954.

P ARSONS MOTORS
West, particularly in Syria and
Egypt, there is a deep wellspring
of desire for friendship at least
with the United States. It would
require no miracle to tap it.
Nothing was so impressive as
this latent desire for friendship
during an 18-day tour of four
Middle Eastern countries.
It was the same whether we
talked to taxi drivers or shop
keepers or to political figures
such as Premier Sami Solh of
Lebanon, President Nasser of
Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan
some of the problems of space
flight, such as oxygen shortage
and cosmic ray penetration, are
encountered. The Air Force did
not have details available on
the dog flight but said the ani
mal survived.
Other Animals
Besides monkeys and dogs, Air
Force rocket and balloon experi
ments have involved black mice,
white mice, hamsters, fruit flies
and cats.

day that its aeromedical labora
tory has acqu.red four black

or Emile Hourani, the most in

ian parliament.
Equally impressive, however,
was a feeling that the key to this
friendship lies in recognizing
that these are independent states
caught up in a tremendous up
surge of nationalism.
Growing Movement
Nothing is going to stop this
movement. It is this keen feeling
of nationalism that reacts so vio
lently to the slighest suspicion
that some big outside power is
bears. While the service denied
they would ride in roskets or
travel over the ground on super
sonic sleds, - there were indica
tions they will be used in pres

high altitude conditions.

later died a natural death and
the two mice ascended to almost
200,000 feet in an Aerobee rock
et in a test at Holloman Air
Force Base, Alamogordo, N.M.
The monkeys were anesthetized
so that they could not meddle
with instruments recording their
physiological reactions. The ani
mals experienced "no unusual
effects," the Air Force said.
They came down by parachute.
In the four years prior to
Albert's flight, the Air Force
sent five monkeys and three
mice aloft in V2 and Aerobee

w f
Street
Today, one year after the
United States was being hailed
in Egypt as a champion, we are
being accused by Nasser of try
ing to overthrow his govern
ment and of attempting to domi
nate Egypt by economic pres
sure just as Britain and France
had previously done by force.
What is particularly rankling
to the Egyptians is the failure of
the United States to release
Egypt's blocked funds. In Cairo,
President Nasser recalled this
refusal in the same breath with
which he hailed America's role
in halting the Suez attack.
"One day a friend," he said.
'The next day, the dagger."
Egypt is in many ways the
key to the Mid-Eastern situa
tion. Nasser is popular in his
country and in Syria where his
photographs are liberally plas
tered in public places and in
shops and private offices.

Neuberger Proposes
Secretary of Science
Los Angeles Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D.-Ore.) advocates
creation of a new cabinet post,
that of secretary of science, to
handle problems related to atom
ic energy, missiles and inter
planetary vehicles.
Neuberger, here to speak at
the Los Angeles County Confer
ence on Community Relations,
said Monday that the United
States is "contending with a co
lossus bigger than 'we are and
we ought to get down to busi
ness. "We are not using the brains
of our people properly," he add
ed. "No wonder the Russians
are ahead of us."
The senator, in suggesting the
new cabinet post, said that such
things as atomic energy, mis
siles and interplanetary vehicles
"ought to be decided in labora
tory, not in the barracks."
The world-famous Taj Mahal
structure, known for the beauty
of its architecture, is said to
have cost $15 million.

Large Number of
Mice Said in Area
A large number of mice have
been observed in the area, ac
cording to Clifford B. Cordy,
county horticulturist.
The mice can do considerable
damage to fruit trees, he said,
so they should be poisoned
either by using poison grains or
an endrin spray.
Mice collect in the grass and
weeds at the base of the trees
and nibble on the bark just
above the ground. Depending on
the other food, supplies, Cory
said, they can completely girdie
the trees if they are not killed.
If grain is used to poison the
rodents, it should be without
husks as the mice remove them
before eating the grain. Although
spray is reported to be more
expensive, it is more effective,
Cordy said, as complete elimina
tion can be obtained.
Orchardists should check or
chards as soon as possible to
determine whether they have
mice, he said.
Cordy added that if the fruit
tree is completely girdled by
the mice, bridge grafting would
be necessary to save the tree.

ing of Egyptian funds at a time
of crisis, there are several other
American actions that sorely
rankle the Egyptians. Among
these are:
The abrupt cancellation of
the American agreement to sell
arms to Egypt in 1953, a move
that is laid directly at the door
of British pressure. The cancel
lation came while an Egyptian
mission was in the United States
to procure the arms. This action
carried a lasting sting of humil
iation. The equally abrupt with
drawal of American aid for the
Aswan high dam project. It is
difficult not to feel that a little
more diplomacy might have
headed off the turbulent events
that followed this decision.
The manner in which the
Eisenhower doctrine was
launched. The Egyptians and
the Syrians do not accept this
doctrine for what it is a for
mula reflecting the sincere de
sire of the United States to help
the Mid-Eastern countries solid
