Calif. (UPI)-A live ly centenarian who doesn't think his victory over father time "is much to brag about" was hon ored here today on his 100th birthday. "I'm not old," said George Nel son Mickcl, "I've just been around longer than most people. Roily, it isn't much to brag about." Mickel will be honored at a birthday party at the Madera Methodist Church where he was a regular attendant for years until he fell and broke a hip four years ago. Now he must depend on a wheel chair. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Webster, who care for Mickel in his small and comfortable home here, say that Mickel has been looking for ward to the party for days. In vitations were sent to 200 friends and relatives. Jkjickel said he had no particular formula for reaching the century mark. He does point out, however, that he lived a clean life. "I just never got started drink ing alcoholic beverages and I nev er smoked in my life," Micke.1 said. "Perhaps that had some thing to do with it." Legion Report Seeks Revise SACRAMENTO (AP) A com mittee report today called for streamlining the American Le sion's veterans rehabilitation pro gram in California without cur tailing services. Laughlin E. Waters, chairman of the California department's study committee on rehabilitation practices, told conventioning Le gionnaires that the program is processing 32.000 claims for Cali fornia veterans each year. Quoting a report by a financial consulting firm, he recommended administrative changes, cutting publication of the "California Legionnaire" newspaper to bi monthly instead of monthly, and devoting more effort to publicity and fund raising. Alfred P. Chamie, the depart ment commander, said the Cali fornia Legion started the year with a deficit of S4n.ooo, but it will be trimmed to $16,000 by the end of the year. Stale Treasurer A. Ronald But ton joined other public officials in urging Legionnaires to back Prop. 1, the 300 million dollar bond issue to continue state vet erans farm and home loans. "It's not only that the program Is self-liquidating and so provides benefit without cost. I'm for it because this is the only substan tial assistance California gives to ex-servicemen.

Honored In His Birthday Mickel depends on Mr. and Mrs. Webster and two small Chi huahua dogs for company. He also watches television almost every day. The tiny dogs, according to Mickel, make fine watch dogs. Mickel's favorite programs now are big league baseball games. "I used to be a Braves and Cardinals fan." he said. Since the Giants and Dodgers moved out here to California, I root for them All during his life, Mickel would have very little truck with the "horseless carriage" which was invented as he approached middle age. He refused to learn how to drive an automobile and friends or relatives drove him whenever he traveled. Mickel's hearing is good and he uses glasses when he reads his papers and magazines. His appe tite, is fine and he eats plenty of vegetables. He recalls that he was born into a large family in Minnesota and that his father was a cobbler who fought for the Union in the Civil War. The family moved to Kansas when George was 12 years old and he married Eleanor Maria Barnes in 1887. Mrs. Mickel died seven years ago at the age of 86. Mickel came to California in 1800, first settling in Ventura where William Henry Barnes, his father-in-law, had established a law practice. The family moved to Madera in 1912. Mickel held sev eral jobs in the county courthouse including tax assessor. He re tired at the age of 85. Three of Mickel's five children survive. They are Mrs. Georgi- heth Cook, society editor of the Jlodesto Bee, Laurence Mickcl, a retired Army colonel of San Mar ino, and William Mickel, a mari time engineer of Fresno. A neph ew is L.B. Mickel, New York City, who recently retired as superin tendent of bureaus for United Press International. Mickel has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Killer Given Reprieve SACRAMENTO (AP) San Quentin convict Clifford Jefferson of Kern County will serve his life in prison instead of being executed. Gov. Knight yesterday com muted the 31-year-old Jefferson's sentence to life without possibility ot parole. Jefferson, convicted under a state law requiring the death penally for convicts who commit assault with a deadly weapon, was to be executed last Friday, but was saved by a 30-day stay of execution. Knight said at that time he planned to commute the sentence. Jefferson was serving a 5-year to life term at Folsom for second degree murder in 1955 when he and another inmate knifed a fellow prisoner. New Missile Personality Red Defense By DOUGLAS LARSEV XEA Staff Correspondent HOLLO MAN AIR FORCE BASE, N. M. INEA) A new U.S. guided missile with a split personality is going to drive the Russians crazy. Called the Mace, it has just been unveiled at this huge Air Force air research installation. It lias two interchangeable elec tronic brains, can carry hydrogen and atom bombs, flies over 600 miles per hour to targets 1,000 miles away and has been devel oped by the Martin Co. ot Balti more, Md. The Mace's unique feature, the ability to fly with one of two guidance systems depending on the mission, forces the Russians to establish an enormously expen sive defense system against it. In effect one missile with an alter nate brain means that an enemy must double its anti-missle effort to combat this type of weapon. This concept, plus other sophis ticated refinements of the missile art which are incorporated in the Mace, add new importance to de velopments in the non-ballistic mis sile field. For the past year most interest has centered on ballistic missiles which have trajectories like a mortar shell and can fly through airless space because they carry their own oxygen element in the fuel system.

Juniper Bale Twine ighom Bale Wire Quality Products Satisfaction Guaranteed With Split Could Drive Setup Crazy air-nreatners necause they use conventional jet engines and need oxygen from the atmosphere, have tended to be regarded as obsolete But such things as giving them twin brains and making them re coverable after firing the Mace can be lowered to the ground safe ly by parachute add new signif icance to tne air-Dreathers. The Mace, as scheduled in Air Force plans, will have a vital front-line role for the next 10 years at least. Automatic tracking and navica tion called ATRAN is the newest of the Mace's two guidance systems, developed by the Good year Aircraft Corp. A film strip which is a map of the route over which the missile will fly is placed in the system before firing. Then, as the mis sile begins its flight, a radar in the ATRAN system which scans the ground is synchronized with the film, map to keep the bird or its deadly course. It is almost im possible for an enemy to jam or contuse the system. ATRAN permits the Mace to fly at extremely low altitudes dur ing all kinds of weather, putting an almost impossible burden on enemy radar. To make a solid radar fence against the Mace is almost prohibitively expensive. A fast, very low altitude ap proach makes shooting down the Mace an extremely difficult op eration. ATRAN is used most ly when a low-level mission is re quired. When a high altitude mission is called for, the Mace uses on in ertial guidance system manufac tured by the AC Spark Plug Di vision of General Motors. It's the same guidance system used in most ballistic missiles. Details of the Mace's trip are fed into an electronic memory de vice. As the missile heads to its target an instrument which keeps constant track of its progress is synchronized witn the memory system. The system automatically corrects for wind or any other variable encountered during the missile's flight. Because there are absolutely no electronic emissions from this sys tern during its flight, it is jam proof. The menial system can make both high and low altitude missions, but is most suited to high flighls. including those at over 40,000 feet. Fixed targets far behind the front lines have been assigned to Mace missile crews. Such targets include rail terminals, ammunition storage areas and troop concen trations. The job of the Mace, as it was the job of the fighter- bomber, is to prevent supplies and troops from reaching the front. The Mace will replace the Mata dor missile, also developed by Martin. Mace missile crews are now being trained and will be sent to Europe and the Far East. The system is completely mobile and designed to be operated from even the most rugged terrain. The missile is 44 leet long and has a 23-fnot wing span. It uses conventional fuel and is easy to maintain and operate under field conditions. The Mace costs rough ly $100,000 apiece, which is rela tively cheap compared to otner missile systems. The fact that it can be recovered when fired for training also brings down the cost of thi Mace.
