The Communist party news paper, in a two-page article on interplanetary flight, said the mis sile launched Jan. 2 utilized an automatic guidance system which kept it on a predetermined tra jectory and regulated its final speed. The Soviet rocket was launched vertically from a point in the Soviet Union, said Pravda. then entered its assigned trajectory tinder its own self-contained guid ance system. With the lengthy scientific ar ticle which disclosed on addi tional details of the rocket itself or the site of its blast-off Pravda published a series of pho tographs and charts on its latest space entry. These showed the rocket's in struments and battery containers prior to installation m the missile, and charts of the rocket's flight and its final orbit around the sun. As viewed from earth, the Soviet rocket flashed above and to the right of the moon in its flight into space, Pravda said. As it passed the moon, that planet's gravitational pull changed its course somewhat. But the auto matic controls corrected its flight path. Pravda's long study included data on the 34-hour flight to pass the moon, a description of the final stage of the rocket with its instrument chamber, a detailed description of the instruments aboard and details of research problems connected with the flight. It described the new Soviet planet as it entered orbit around the sun as "the rocket's final stage with its instruments linked with the preceding stage." Truckers Plan Rate Increase VANCOUVER, B.C.

"Part of this return to normal cy is the strong emphasis on the classic American shirtwaist." The publication added that "so far as buyers are concerned, the fitted normal waistline is the number one choice." But among the collections on view this week, a woman is given choice.

It's Official Now: Women's Clothes Are Normal Again By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor NEW YORK (APi-The nation's fashion press, 200 strong, learned the welcome news today that clothes are back to normaj. No more chemises, no more trapezes, no more distortions oi the female figure are to be foisted on the public this spring. New York designers made plain as they opened a week of spring previews. Waistlines are back where they should be, or sli;htly raised, skirts Pl'BLI.SIIER DIES SALEM (API Trip fnimrtw f the Capitol Press, Salem week ly newspaper. ADner .Maurice Church, 84, died here Saturday. Church was editor and mihihir of the paper from the time he lounaea it ui itcs until he sold it in 1948. (have enough room for walking. suits are comfortable and wear able, hemlines cover the knees, and a woman can go out and buy her 1959 Easter outfit without fear of her husband's rage at least so tar as style is concerned. All these tidings of joy, it seems, are largely the result of a mass male protest against the grotes que fashions of the last few sea sons. When husbands refuse to foot the bills for a new wardrobe, women don't buy. ll's as simple as that. And it was the furious roar of husbands from coast to coast that blasted the sack dress into oblivion, wilted the trapeze and made it clear that modern men do not want their wives or sweethearts to look like Empress Josephine, no matter how fasci nating that royal lady may have been in her day. The Empire silhouette, which was the big news of both Paris and New York collections last fall, has been stringently modified for spring. Belts still are often higher than normal, but when this is true the entire waistline area is defined, to leave no doubt as to the natural lines of the figure. Suits for spring are almost uni versally short jacketed, with slen der skirts eased through the hip line and tapered at the hem. Jackets may be loose and straight, slightly rounded or liloused but they are usually brief. The ecep(in is the walk-i ing suit, with three-quarter length jacket, which can be worn as a separate short coat. The dress-and-jacket costume is one o! the most popular outits of spring, the dress usually with natural waistline, the jacket brief and easy.
