Trading In the Day's News y WANK JENKINS There'i something new in '.lithe ky-th latest model of our Discoverer satellites. This ' one it Discoverer XIX. Its job ii to take the earth's tern- J. " perature. Exactly the aame . ' ai your doctor takee your ,' temperature. And for the " aame reason. When your doctor takei ' " your temperature, he wanU ' to know what's going on in ' your system. If there is too much HEAT, something is ' wrong. He then goes to work ' ' to find out WHAT is wrong, 'j The Discoverer satellites are designed to work in the same way. They merely use "' different equipment. Your ' doctor uses a clinical ther mometer, which he puts ' under your tongue. The DIs .' coverer satellites carry equlp- ment to measure the amount of Infrared radiation given off ', " by the earth. This Information ls then radioed instantly to ' 'the Midas missile alarm ays- tern. YOUR doctor's thermometer tells htm the temperature of your body. If your tem ' ' perature is 98.8 degrees, you 1 are normal. If it is ABOVE '1.6 degrees, something Is wrong. The job of our Midas mis sile system Is to determine "the NORMAL amount of tn " ' frared radiation given off by "'the earth. Then-if the Dis coverer satellites circling the J-' earth every 93 minutes re ' ' port a sudden RISE in the '"Infrared radiation (which Is ' . given off by HOT bodies) -' ' it will be assumed that some ,' 'thing is WRONG. The assumption would be '''that our enemies had blasted ' off at ut a flock of missiles, ,' which are. VERY HOT bod Us. We would then (presum ". ably) take the step called for by the situation and would Instantaneously launch back at them enough missiles to destroy them. PRETTY rugged? It certainly is. But nuclear warfare ll rug- ' ged. It ehanges the whole face ef warfare as we have known - it. ". THIS is the situation: We have given the Rus t "elans the FIRST BITE. Which Is to say, we have given our solemn word that under no ' circumstances will we be the AGGRESSOR In a nuclear at " tack. That amounts to this: i It tempts the communists 'to SHOOT FIRST - to DE 1 iSTROY US before we can ihoot back. To get everything ''ready and then blow us off the earth In one massive mi ; . eilc strike. THIS is the point: If we can get INSTAN- TANEOUS warning that the communists are launching i missiles at us, we can instan-ii- taneously launch missiles at ' them.

Spanish Peasant Claims No Sleep Taken During life Madrid, Spain - ,(WH - A wiry peasant glanced through picture magazines and chat ted with two correspondents today in a wide-awake demon stration of his claim that he has not slept a wink in his life. Valentin Medina Foves, 61, was still going strong on the second day of his 48-hour sample ot permanent insom nia. 'I will sleep the day I die," Medina said simply. And there appeared to be no reason to doubt he would not sleep before then. Forty-eight hours after two UPI correspondents set up a watch over him at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Medina showed no signs of fading. As the newsmen Kept watcn with bloodshot eyes, Medina had his usual supper consist ing of a cheese sandwich and a bottle of wine. Medina even seemed to gain strength as the time wore on He helped move a desk from one room of the office to an- other. The two correspondents took turns napping but one or the other kept Medina in view at all times. Medtna has been to numer ous doctors, most of whom have concluded that he actu ally has total insomnia. PUIS and injections, wine supplied by friends and other home remedies all have failed to out him to sleep. Dr. Luis Tomas uasamayor, who examined Medina Wed' nesday, said "Apparently the man is not lying and he actU' ally doesn't need to sleep." But he reserved final judg ment until he could "study the case for a period of sever al weeks.". lOGlTTSght Cars Jump Tracks Fuyallup, Wash. - IDW) - Ten cars of a B8-car Great North ern freight train headed for Tacoma were derailed near here this morning when a journal box on one of the cars burned out.
