I It,, POLARIS ON NIGHT TRIP Blazing its path into the sky, a Navy Lockheed experimental Polaris missile takes off at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The introductory night flight was re quested by the Air Force to test facilities for tracking solid fuel rockets through dark skies, according to informed sources. The two-stage missile's second stage was scheduled to hit 900 miles downrange just north of Puerto Rico. The Polaris is to become operational as a nuclear submarine weapon late next year.

In 1959, only 39 per cent reported smoking cigarettes compared with 52 per cent in 1954. About half the current smok ers use less than one pack per day. Among the more than a pack a day smokers, the rate declined from 30.5 cigarettes to 18.0 the report said.

HOMEWARiSI Phone SP 2-5201 Lewis Resigned to Avoid Fight Over Eventual Successor Washington il'PD John L. Lewis decided to step down now as president of the Unit ed Mine Workers to head off a possible power struggle over his eventual successor in the union leadership. This was the explanation that associates gave today for the 79-year-bld labor leader's surprise announcement Tues day that he is resigning as UMW chief early next year. ' They also ,said departure from office would not silence the "thundering voice of. the captain of a mighty host," as Lewis once described his role in behalf of the miners. These friends said Lewis certainly would continue as a non-paid trustee of the UMW's welfare fund. They al so expect him to testify be fore congressional commit tees on coal industry prob lems. Seeks Orderly Transition Lewis was said to be seek ing "to- insure an orderly transition" in the UMW lead ership by lining up his succes sor well in advance of the union's presidential election next December. UMW Vice President Thom as Kennedy, 72, automatically steps into the top job when Lewis bows out. Kennedy was expected to run for a full four-year term as president. But all eyes within the union will be focused on the man selected to fill Ken nedy's vice presidential spot. That choice may be made far ahead of election time to build up the man who even tually will succeed to the presidency. Praises Kennedy In his letter of i resignation, Lewis praised Kennedy to the skies. John Owens, secretary treasurer of the 500,000-mem-ber union, is 69 and his col leagues believe that he is not interested in moving up the ladder. This leaves two men prom inently in the leadership pic ture - W. A. (Tony) Boyle, about 50, an assistant to Lew is who came out of the Mon tana district of the UMW, and Michael F. Widman, director of market research and a for 30-Df Ckfft or. SHOP 9:30 TILL 9 Until Christmas (Saturdays Till 5:30) mer CIO organizer in auto plants. Although the race has just started, these two are consid ered to have the inside track to succeed Kennedy eventual ly as . president. Both have been working on high prior ity tasks for Lewis in recent years. Nixon To Limit Primary Scraps To Few Stales Washington-dTD-Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon can be expected to limit his 1960 residential primary efforts to a handful of states even if Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller in vites contests in all possible areas. This judgment came today from a well-posted informant, who said Nixon would be too busy in Washington to en gage in primary scraps for na tional convention delegates in a dozen or more states. It was indicated that the vice presi dent would be in only four to six of the state primaries. Rockefeller told a news con ference at South Bend, Ind., Saturday that, if he became a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he would seriously consider en tering all state primaries. Can Record Preference Fifteen states and the Dis trict of Columbia now have laws of various types to allow voters in a primary election to record their preference among candidates for the presidential nomination of their party. ,Nixon was expected to oe entered in the June 7 primary in his home state of California and in the May 20 primary in Oregon, where a new -state law will put all major con tenders in both parties on the ballots. Denendine in Dart on Rockefeller's moves, the New Hampshire primary March 8 and the Wisconsin primary April 5 and possibly one or two other states were listed T.f nfc - W it's a m mm AERIAL JEEP The world's first aerial jeep the Defense Department.

The other girl, Jeanette Kim, must remain in the hos pital for an indefinite period, as likely places for preconven tion campaigns by Nixon. Supporters of both Nixon and Rockefeller already have set up campaign organizations in New Hampshire, -which holds the nation's first presi dential primary. Wisconsin, which holds the second, also is a probable spot for a contest between the two contenders. As the underdog and with most of the GOP organization leaders leaning heavily to Nixon, Rockefeller needs to show voter support if he is to get serious attention from the national convention. Many Republicans think the New York governor must win or at least make a strong showing in New Hampshire to escape being counted out early next year. Sensational Purchase!

The two girls were born Siamese twins last June and were separated here Oct. 10. The smiling parents, Mr. and Airs. James Stubblefield of Parma, Idaho, wrapped Denett in a blanket and left for home by car. Denett was described as the stronger of the two but Jean ette's condition is good. Both girls are "alert and active" and both play with rattles and other toys In their cribs, doc tors said. The girls had a combined weight of 9 pounds 10 ounces when they entered the Uni versity of Oregon medical school hospital the day after they were born June 29. De nett now weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces and Jeanette 14 pounds 12Vi ounces. The twins were separated by a 17-member surgical team Oct. 6 in a five-hour operation. The surgeons found that the grils' livers were joined and that the breast bones and heart sacs were fused. Doctors said Denett would return to the hospital for It's Worth a Trip To Shop ? ' vv '- ' periodic checkups. In Jean ette's case it was necessary to place a tracheotomy tube in her windpipe for breathing. She is now being gradually weaned away from the tube. Doctors said they could not estimate how long Jeanette would remain in the hospital but her mother said she had been given hope the little girl might be able to go home sometime in January. Within one to three years the girls may undergo surgery to repair holes, or hernias, which they have in their ab dominal walls. In the mean time, although the area is now covered with skin, the children will be fitted with corsets as added protection for abdominal organs. Doctors said they felt that both girls will be able to lead normally active lives. They added that a search of medical literature indicated this is the first time Siamese twins joined so intimately and extensively in the abdominal and chest regions have been separated successfully with both children surviving.
