FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2B. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE College Chief Said Missing MARSHALL. Mo. (APU-Dr. M Earle Collins, president of Mis souri Valley College, has been missing since early Christmas Day. His wife notified police when he (ailed to return from Christmas Eve church services. But a son-in-law, Jamie Hogue, (aid "We are not worried about him." He said Dr. Collins, 55, had planned lo leave Thursday for Or lando, Fla., where the school's football team plays East Texas State in the Tangerine Bowl Friday. Hogue said Dr. Collins, at the last minute, apparently changed his plans to leave in the after noon from Kansas City and caught an early morning train at Spring field, Mo., instead. Dr. Collins' car was found near the railroad station in Springfield and a railroad ticket agent iden tified a picture of Dr. Collins as that of a man who bought a tick et for Orlando. The man showed identification to obtain a minis terial discount. Missouri Valley is a Presby- terian college and Dr. Collins is a church elder. A reporter and the station mas- ter at Birmingham, Ala., went through the train from Springfield when it stopped there Thursday right but did not find Dr. Collins. Later, Hogue said the family believed the college president may have left the train at Mem' phis and continued his trip by air But a search in Memphis for him was unsuccessful. Young Engineer's Voice Heard On Space Satellite CORONA, Calif. (AP) The young engineer's voice crackled across the heavens: "This is Prado Dam United States Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory, Corona. cant " Then Sam Findler read the Pres ident's now famous satellite Christmas message. Tumbling through the dark void of space, the orbiting Atlas satel lite picKea up the transmission and broadcast it back to another tracking station at Ft. Sam Houston, Tex. inus. last Saturday, the voice of Findler, 34, became the first other than the President's to be broadcast from outer space. The engineer from Neptune, Unloaded Pistol Kills Trucker SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A truck driver killed himself Thurs- day night while trying to prove his pistol wasn t loaded. Police said Michael W. Buckley, 95, was showing his .32 automatic to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Manuel Baesa, when she begged him to put it away. "Don't worry," he said. "This isn't loaded. See ..." He raised the gun to his right temple, squeezed the trigger and fired a bullet through his head. Lad Flees Meal With Revolver NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Lewis Waldman, 13, was ar rested two hours later by Patrol man H. E. Lay of the suburban Belle Meade police department. Lay said the boy still had the .38 caliber pistol and 75 rounds of am munition in his pocket. Grandchildren Get Fire Engine DENVER (AP) - Santa Claus normally doesn't need much help but when the order is for a fire engine, it helps to know a fellow like Marvin K. Maus. Maus has three- grandchildren- Don. 3, Dick, 5, and Debra Maus, 6. They wanted a full-fledged fire engine for Christmas. It happens that Maus is representative of the American-LaFrance Corp., which manufactures fire equipment. He knew of an old retired engine owned by the Boulder, Colo., fire department. Christmas morning, the grand children heard a fire engine wail ing and ran to the window. The monstrous red vehicle parked at the curb outside was theirs. PROTEST FILM SEIZURE PARIS (UPD-Pathe Newsreel protested to police today against the seizure ot a newsreel contain ing allegedly offensive remarks about the heads of state of France and other countries. The newsreel, in which comedians Poret and Serrault Guv discussed world pol itics, was confiscated after it was shown to a few audiences. ONCE-A-YEAR N.J., told Thursday how it was done. Early in November Findler headed an 11-man team that moved like a band of well equipped gypsies into the rolling loothills near Prado Dam, about 50 miles southwest of Los Ange les. Their job was secret to set up a satellite tracking station and stand ready. On a hillside a few hundred yards from a busy highway, Findler and his men set up the portable gen erator, radio direction finder, four nice coil antennae and olher ma terial needed to track and talk to the satellite. They managed to brush off questions by occasional passers by. The team lived a few miles away in a Corona motel. They avoided the townspeople. There were many pinochle games in the motel room. Time dragged. Then last week at Cape Cana veral, Fla., the Atlas blasted off with a fiery swoosh. The waiting for Findler and company had ended. The satellite arrived over Corona within two minutes of the predicted time and was within one half degree of predicted bear ing, said Hndler. Since then Findlcrs team oi Armv and civilian engineers have kept an around the clock watch on the 4-ton satellite. Findler read the President s Christmas message to the satel lite Saturday as one of the sta- lions communication experi ments. Since then other messages by voice and teletype code have been transmitted to and re-broadcast back from the satellite. The tracking station, one of four, will remain in operation as long as the satellite can broad cast. mmm uun PRICES SLASHED IN EVERY DEPARTMENT JUNIOR COATS Formerly not less than 34.95.
