To Use Thor Missile The device will be shot to Its high altitude by a Thor intermediate range missile from Johnston Island, 800 miles southwest of Hawaii. A Weather Bureau spokes man said the skies between the Hawaiian Islands and Johnston will "probably be pretty clear" for the shot. He said that the favorable conditions, coupled with a full moon, should make it near perfect for viewing the blast. Scientists said Hawaii resi deits will see the flash, which will be several times bright er than the sun, and later see an auroral disDlav tn the north caused by the disrup tion of magnetic belts over the Pacific.

Police said both cars were traveling at a high rate of speed at the time. The acci dent" occurred on the Pacific freeway some 10 miles south of here early Saturday. Viola pittance work. Peter F-Nowadays all able bodied women help out with money. Viola F.-I spoiled my hus band. From the beginning of our marriage I tried to make it up to him for his family not liking me. (I'm no beauty and they go for glamour girls!) I kept on working so he v"M continue giving them the bulk of his salary. Even after our first baby, I worked in a laundromat until we could buy a S7.000 house. When a chance came to buy our own laundromat, I sold my rings, we sold the house and with two more children we lived in back of the store. I worked day and night. And a year ago we were able to buy a beautiful home on Long Island. Now my problem is that my husband won't let me stay home and take care -of my young children. After 15 year of my slaving, he insists that I keep it up. He never takes me out, hands me $40 a week to cover everything including clothes, doctors and dentists, tells me if I need more to come back and work for it. Peter F. - Vi may know how to earn money but she has no idea of how thinly people like us must spread it. That $40 I give her each week is free and clear. I take care of ali the bills, both for the business and for the home, l pay insurance, taxes and hos pitalization. I get all the per mits and licenses renewed. She has enough for necessi ties, i Luxuries are another mat-j tcr. She's lucky she doesn't have to work for the bare essentials like some women do. If she wants fancy clothes and theater tickets, let her come down and save me the j price of an attendant. All j women take jobs these days. In fact, we could have a higher income if she took ; charge of the laundromat herself. I'm on leave from a Civil Service job with a small salary. I'll have to re sign when the leave is up, unless Vi takes over the busi- j ness and runs it. To live on my salary, we'd have to give up our new house and move back to a tenement. The Council: Peter's right on one statement, but not the way he means it. Yes, "all women take jobs these days," but most of them with young children take the job of keep ing house and taking care of them. They do this from choice, when support is no issue, or from both choice and sacrif ice.lwhen money is scarce and an outside job beckons. For experience shows that a family with growing young sters usually fares best when it lives on what Dad makes and has Mom around to make it all possible and pleasant. Viola's right, too, in her hindsight about spoiling her husband (and his family). She's to be admired for stand ing at his side during the early struggle for a start in business. But after living in back of a store and then in a tenement with her little ones, she's ready for a show down on money matters to make sure Peter doesn't de prive them of their lovely home. That seems to be his ultimatum if Viola insists on staying there and making like a homemaker and mother. ' Perhaps the answer here lies in an all-cards-on-the-table analysis of values. Do you want your children neglected, Peter? Is there any other way to eke out a little more money for Viola - some "lift-the-heart" cash-than by making the kids pay for it in matern al deprivation? Since Viola shared all past burdens, Pete, make her a party to this very one you're facing now: How to pay all bills, keep the house and business and still give her enough money to permit ex tras without sending her out to earn. It's a lulu of a chal lenge. Shoes for three chil dren, plus socks and sneakers. can use up a whole week's allowance as things stand. But treating Viola as a full part ner, rather than as an em ployee with a niggardly ex pense account, will invoke her ingenuity, enthusiasm and imagination. Henceforth, let her take care of both the bills and the profits with you. Your role must transcend that of mere paymaster. You are Co-chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the household. And that means racking your combined brains to consoli date your gains, chief of which is your fine home. Washington -IUPIU The Unit ed States set off Sunday the 20th announced nuclear blast in its Pacific test series. It was an intermediate yield de vice exploded over Christmas Island after being dropped from an airplane. Billy Graham Closes 18-Day Chicago Crusade Chicago -HP1- Evangelist Billy Graham Sunday ended I his 18-day crusade in the' "town that Billy Sunday couldn't close down" with a rally which attracted 116,000 persons in 95-degrce heat. It was believed to be the largest religious revival meet ing in U.S. history. The crowd, which filled the 92, 000 permanent seats at giant Soldier Field and left other thousands standing inside and outside the U-shaped arena, boosted the 18-day attendance figure to 703,000. Many Overcome More than 200 persons were overcome by the heat and Gra ham's aides sent out a special plea for doctors and nurses to care for them. About 2,300 marched for ward at Graham's invitation to make "decisions for Christ," bringing the total for the crusade to 17,130. Graham appealed to the as sembled thousands to "keep burning in your hearts the spiritual fires my Chicago re vival has ignited. Today should not be thought of as the end of the crusade, but only the beginning." He warned Americans that they are "not right with God" and foresaw a Rome-like de cline for the United States if its citizens fail to repent and reform. Signs All About "The signs that we must make a choice are all about us. The historian Gobbon said Rome fell because of its high divorce rate and its taxes. You know about America's divorce problem, about the movie stars who seem to be lieve that the more husbands or wives they have the more of a box office attraction they win oe, he said. uranam said that a nation never falls until it starts to decay at the center, at the home, the very core of our society. He warned that churches "must repent of their faith lessness, their strife, their worldliness, their bickering, pride, malice, backbiting and their intolerance of each oth er." Writers Denied Hearing by Court Washington - il'PP - The Su preme Court today denied a hearing to five Hollywood screen writers who sued to slop what they claim is movie industry blacklisting of per sons identified Willi commu nism. The brief order leaves standing a decision against the group handed down last Jan. 18 in a preliminary round of the lawsuit by the U. S. Court of Appeals here. The appeals court upheld the refusal of U. S, District Judge Edward A. Tamm to issue a temporary order against the alleged practice pending further legal moves. Last September, Tamm found such an order unjustified. Tamm said the evidence in its present form establishes no wrong doing and that a trial must take place to ex plore the facts fully.
