Our moon rocket ailed to reach
the moon either to circle around
it or to smack into it.
went higher than anything
had ever . pone before 30 times
higher than the highest known pre
vious (light, this morning's dis
patches tell us.
That takes care of Sputnik.
The financial wires tell us that
when the market opened this
morning New York stocks ad
vanced strongly as a result of
the week-end moon shot. The tick
ers fell late twice during the first
hour of trading. In the opening
flurry, gains ran to over two
points.
That is to say:
The moon "shot RESTORED
OUR CONFIDENCE in ourselves.
What happened?
The moon missile was propelled
hy a series of rockets. The Air
Force scientists explain this morn
ing that the rockets that were to
carry it through to completion of
its mission failed to ignite. The
scientists think the extreme cold
of ,-utcr space affected the bat
teries that were to touch the final
rockets off.
In other words
If the ignition system of your
oar fails the car stops, even
though you have plenty of gas
in the tank. Back in the early
days of automobiles, ignition fail
ures were very common indeed.
New they are rare.
The conclusion is that the lime
will come when the final rockets
won't fail to ignite. Then, pre
sumably, we'll get a look at the
other side of the moon.
How high did the rocket get?
The scientists, watching the re
ports from its instruments, put
the distance at 68,830 NAUTICAL
miles. A nautical mile is equal
to about 1.15 land miles. That
puts the altitude of the rocket at
79.212 land miles.
How come nautical miles?
well, it s hard to measure an
exact mile on water. So, in earlier
days of sailing, ships carried a
device called a log, which was
dragged behind the ship and
caused a line to unreel. The line
was knotted at intervals of 47 feet, !
three inches. At the end of the
first interval was one knot. Two
knots marked the end of the sec
ond, and so on.
.The line was allowed to run for
1 28 seconds. Twenty-eight seconds
is to one hour what 47 feet, three
inches is to 6.080 feet. Therefore
il the log had pulled out five
knots in the line in 28 seconds the
sailors knew the ship was mov
ing at a speed of five knots.
Hence the length of the "nauti
cal'' mile. Hence also th use of
the word "knot" instead of the
word "mile" in referring to nauti
cal distances and speeds.

Refuses Review
WASHINGTON Wl - Gov. Orval
A. Faubus of Arkansas lost today
in an effort to get the U.S. Su
preme Court to review an injunc
tion issued against him in the
school integration row.
The injunction, issued by U.S.
district Judge Ronald E. Davies,
halted Faubus' use of National
Guardsmen in September 11157 at
Central High School. Little Rock.
The guardsmen had turned away
nine Negroes from the school.
The effect of the refusal is to
let lower court orders stand.

Ike Swamped
By Requests
WASHINGTON (AP)-Presidcnt
Eisenhower was reported today to
be swamped with requests for per
sonal campaigning in behalf of
Republican candidates.
Many Republicans fighting up
hill battles for Senate and House
seats now consider a presidential
appearance in their states a po
litical must. As a result, the GOP
National Committee is having dif
ficulty trying to sort out a flood
of demands.
Several were said to have como
from GOP candidates who did not
always support Eisenhower's pro
gram in Congress, and who had
counted largely on going their own
way in their campaigns.
Some of these were reported to
be among those most insistent on
help from Eisenhower.
Republican National Chairman
Meade Alcorn said in an inter
view he expects the White House
to announce this week additional
speaking dales for the President
lo suppleijient the live-day sortie
to California and back starting
Thursday.
Eisenhower is expected to
schedule several appearances in

said most of these arc likely to
be single-speech trips instead of
