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

said today he and blonde dl

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.

Old Model Planes
Said Favored
New York-llim-The modern
traveler may like jet planes
and yearn for tomorrow's
space ships, but today's model
plane builder looks to the
past.
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

Wednesday's rally which put

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.

Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) for

president has been formed

publicans Club at Willamette
university, is heading the com
mittee. The Arizona senator
was written in 2,421 times in

vice president. He trailed
both Gov, Mark Hatfield and

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.

Kennedy Opposes
Single Park Bill
Florence-IUPD-The Western
Lane Taxpayers Association
said today it had received a
letter from Sen. John F. Ken
nedy saying he was opposed
to efforts of the Interior De
partment to establish three
national seashore parks by a
single bill.
One of the proposed parks
would be in the dunes area
between here and Reedsport.
John M. Hays, chairman of
the taxpayers' organization,
said Kennedy, Democratic
presidential contender,
thought the proposed seashore
should be considered separte
ly. The others would be at
Cape Cod, Mass., and at Padre
Island in Texas.
Hayes said his group felt
Congress would not create a
park in the area if it was con
sidered on its own merits. The
taxpayers' group has opposed
establishment of the dunes
park.

Blue Lake Park
Water Said Safe
Portland -IPD- Dr. Sydney
Hansen, Multnomah county
health officer, said today
swimmers in the county'i
newly - acquired Blue Lake
park need have no fear of
bacteria.
He said swimming there
was done in a roped-off sec
tion and that the county has
installed a pump which re
moves 2,000 gallons of water
a minute from the swimming;
area. This is heavily chlori
nated and returned to the
pool, he said.
Dr. Hansen also said that
no recommendations would
be made that Rooster Rock
beach be closed to swimming
by his department on the basis
of an initial sampling which,
showed some contamination.
Meanwhile, a spokesman
for the State Sanitary Au
thority indicated it may go
to court in connection with
pollution of the Willamette
river running through Port
