Yoman Fired
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) A
;jBToman worker was fired from her
"Army general depot job here after
the asked a Negro paratrooper to
leave a line of white diners in the
depot's cafeteria.
The cafeteria has separate food
lines and dining rooms which have
functioned on a segregated basis
for 15 years, the woman, Mae
Crooks, said. She was a cashier.
Col. William D. Buchanan, com
manding officer of the depot, said
the firing last Wednesday repre-
ients no change in policy.
-"She completely violated an in
struction, and she was as wrong
as can be," Buchanan said. The
colonel said voluntary segregation
had been practiced at the cafete
ria in the past but that the Ne
groes knew they could eat wher
ever they wanted.
.'About half of the cafeteria's pa
trons are Negro civilian workers.
The'" paratrooper was one of

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. AP
The super secret Goose uniden
tified officially streaked across
the Atlantic today after launching
from the missile test center here.
The Air Force confirmed a mis
sile had been fired from the Cape,
but as is usual in the case of the
Goose declined to comment on details.
The Goose flies at supersonic
speeds, upwards of 2,000 m.p.h
It has the primary function ol
acting as a decoy to confuse en
emy radar. This permits an at
tacking force to sweep in on en
emy targets with a minimum of
opposition.
Launching of the porpoise-like
missile was visible from the
beaches. As in the case of pre
vious. Goose launchings, two jet
chase planes streaked after the
surface-to-surface missile follow
ins takeoff to observe its progress.
The Goose is powered by a solid
fuel booster rocket for takeoff and
2.000-nound thrust turbojet engine
for sustained flight. Developed
and produced . by Fairchild Air
craft, the Goose reportedly has a
fiber and glass body that, makes
it immune to radar and other
types of early warning systems.
