Centenarian
Madera On
By RONALD WAGONER
MADERA. 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.
Missiles like the Mace, called

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.

larceny.
Jackson, who won a common
dation in 1955 for disarming and
arresting four robbers, told his
questioners he spent almost $1,000
of the pilfered funds on redecorat
ing his Harlem apartment, where
he lived alone. Some of the mon
ey went for several $150 suits and
several pair of $28 shoes, he was
quoted.
Authorities hinted that Jackson,
a member of the force since June
1953, also spent a considerable
amount on an unidentified girl
friend. Married and the father of
two children, he has been es
tranged from his wife the last 10
years, authorities said
After confessing, Jackson led
investigators to a friend's apart
ment and a metal box containing
$13,443, representing approximate
ly half of the stolen funds. Jack
son insisted, however, that nei
ther the friend nor anyone else
knew what the box contained.
