Newspaper Page Text& Canaveral Matches Busiest 24 Hours In 10-Year History Cape Canaveral, Fla. - (UPD The United States threw a fantastic tonnage of missile hardware into the skies Wednesday and early today, matching the busiest 24-hour period in the 10-year history of the Atlantic missile range. More birds are being readied for early tests. Missile men put four space vehicles and war rockets into the air with "shooting gal lery" perfection in a show that began early Wednesday with the launching of a Tran sit satellite and didn't sign off until 1:52 a.m. Thursday with the shooting of the day's second Polaris. Coduct Shipboard Firing The double Polaris tests, conducted by the Navy which will use the missile as itsi chief nuclear weapon for sub marines, included a shipboard firing from 30 miles at sea and a stationary land launch ing that employed a new econ omy fuel mixing process. The red-tipped black and white Polaris is expected to be operational before the end of 1960. A summer firing aboard the Polaris nuclear submarine U.S.S. George Washington is planned. The 64th and 65th Polaris firings w i t h i n a span of only three hours and 28 min utes went without flaw and both shots traveled "in ex cess" of 1,000 miles. The Navy said they met all tests objectives of collecting data on the performance of an integrated sea-going mis sile system and of the mis sile's inertial Jam-proof guid ance system. Fir Alias Missile Earlier in the day a heavy throated Atlas intercontinen tal missile zoomed off the Cape in a trajectory almost paralleling last night's Thor-Able-Star which put the new Transit system in orbit. The Atlas flew 5,000 miles in a test of its guidance sys tem, power and warhead re entry. It was rigged with a si mulated warhead for the flight, the first of seven in a new series of tests for the na tion's only operational ICBM.

DENIES MARRIAGE STORY Memphis, Tenn. - IUPJ - Ver non Presley, widowed father of rock 'n' roll singer Elvis, said today he and blonde dl vorcee Davada Stanley are with more than 40 organized not married despite a four- youth square dance clubs in Teen agers interested in learning modern western square dancing may still en roll in a Medford parks and recreation department spon sored class at the Medford YMCA Monday evening, de partment representatives announced. Seven teen-agers signed up for the class at the first meet ing Monday night The classes, taught by Douglas Fosbury, Medford square dance caller and in structor, will be between 7 and 0:30 p.m. and continue for about eight weeks. Fosbury worked with a youth group in Albany before moving to Medford, and has Been active in teaching square dancing throughout the valley for several years. Encourages Enrollment He noted that several local teen-agers have learned the mollern version of square dancing, and encouraged other young people to enroll in the class since modern square dancing is considered a good lorm of recreation and enjoyment. Fosbury pointed out that square dancing is one of the newest trends in youth recrea tion, and noted there is about as much difference between the old-fashioned variety and the modern as there is be tween the fox trot and modern bop. Square dancing as a rec reation form has swept sec tions of California, he noted Sen. Byrd Plans To Defy Butler's Loyalty Pledge Washington - (UPD - S e n , Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) an nounced today he would defy Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butler's demand that a personal loyalty pledge be signed by delegates before be ing awarded seats to the party's national convention. Although he has been named a delegate to the con vention, Byrd told a reporter that he had not yet decided whether to attend. To Fight Proposal But Byrd made it plain he would fight a proposal made in a National Press Club speech Wednesday by Butler. Butler said it was his "guess" that the national con vention would ask for signed although not sworn state ments from any delegate who refused to support the Demo cratic national ticket in 1952 or 1056. He said those state ments should commit any such delegates to support the nomi nees and platform of the 1960 convention. "I won't sign any oath," was Byrd's comment. Irritation Seen He did not modify his state ment when it was pointed out that Butler had predicted that a sworn statement would not be sought. He voiced belief that But ler's statement would "irritate Southern delegations." Byrd and then Gov. John S. Battle of Virginia and then Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina were in the forefront of a loyalty pledge battle at the 1952 Democratic convention. They refused to sign loyalty pledges. But they and other contested Southern delegations were seated anyway.

Jack Besser, president of Monogram Models, Inc., which manufactures plastic and balsa wood hobby models, said sales figures reflect a strong and continued interest in old-style, propeller-driven planes. Hobby kits of today's rock ets and tomorrow's space ships are not as popular with the model-building set, he said. Besser said one reason for the trend probably was that model builders could find no historical or romantical at tachment with today's planes strong support in the early trading today, continuing Wednesday's rally which put prices on firm ground for the first time in three sesions. Buyers were interested in the steel and rails again where gains ran to more than a half in Youngstown, U. S.

Sun Mine 5 Alaska Highway Financing Said 'Grim Picture' Portland - (UPI) - Alaska's assistant highway engineer said Wednesday the prospect of financing new roads the 49th state will need is "a pret ty grim picture." A. G. Gardner told a meet- ing of Western Association of State Highway Officials here that Alaska's basic finance problem was a constitutional provision which prevented earmarking of tax revenues for specific purposes. He said all funds must be allocated by the Legislature to the gen eral fund. However, he added that one alleviating feature was pro vision in the Alaska Omnibus Act that all unobligated fed eral funds for 1960 and prior years can be used by the state for maintenance purposes. He said this means that Alaska can finance its construction and maintenance program without difficulty until the end of 1962. After that, he said, it will have to take steps to get be tween eight and $10 million a year to match federal aid funds and also to support a minimum maintenance pro gram. He said the job of find ing that much money was for Alaska one of huge proportions.

Eisenhower, resting and contemplating the results of his trip in seclusion on the windward side of this beauti ful island, is convinced that much of the domestic criti cism of the Japanese debacle is politically inspired and, he thinks, without justification. Therefore, in his trip report to the American people next week he will emphasize the success of his visits to the Philippines, Formosa and Korea and chalk up much of the difficulty in Tokyo to the Kremlin's displeasure over the generally warm response his trips have received in other parts of the world.
