FAGE TWO Vanguard Orb Plops In Sea CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (API The second stage brain failed to function and another Vanguard satellite rocket plopped into the Atlantic Ocean Monday night soon after blastoff. This failure spoiled the first double feature satellite launching attempt. Earlier in the day, a 1,600-pound Discoverer satellite was hurled into orbit from Van den berg Air Force Base in Cali fornia. No reason was given for the Vanguard's seventh snafu in nine tries. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said it flidn t know what happened. When the second stage, which contains the guidance system of the 72-foot rocket, failed to func tion, the vehicle soared upward for a short time, then keeled over and plunged into the sea. ii 11 naa worxca properly, me Vanguard would have placed two satellites in orbit. One, Vanguard 1 1 1 A . carried a magnomoter to study the earth magnetic field. The other, Vanguard 1I1B, was an inflatable balloon to measure at mospheric drag. Each could have provided data essential to space travel ny man. The first stage hurled the as scmbly through the most dense part of the earth's atmosphere to a height of about 38 miles. Then the second stage took over. Robert H. Gray, chief of Van suard operations at Cane Canav eral, said the second stage, which was to have boosted the satellite payload up to a speed of 9.0(1(1 miles an hour, apparently fizzled at an altitude of about 200 miles Timberman Given Life BUTLER, Ala. (AP)-A wealthy timberman was sentenced to life imprisonment Monday night for the rule slaying of his wife. Attorneys for John L. McPhear- son, 36, filed notice of appeal of the first-degree murder conviction The state had asked for the death penalty. The defendant had, pleaded in nocent and innocentby reason of insanity. McPhearson was charged with shooting his wife of 14 years in woods near Silas Jan. 29. Hor body was recovered from an abandoned well to which, officers said, McPhearson led them. McPhearson testified he and his 35-year-old wVe had argued bit terly over terms of a divorce both were considering. Ho said his wife was shot accidentally when he fought with her for possession of rule. STREET CLEANERS MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. (API Two airmen of Selfridge Air Force Base, Darrcll P.

(AP) A possible lead towards develop ine a long-sought vaccine against leprosy one of man's oldest scourges was reported today. A government researcher an nounced successful growth in test tube tissue culture of bacteria which causes leprosy in rats. He indicated that this might open one way to: 1. Producing a vaccine against the rat disease. 2. Perhaps ultimately develop Ing a vaccine against the human malady. - Dr. Y. T. Chang, of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabol ic Diseases' and the American Lenrosy Foundation, gave this outline In a report to the 43rd annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experi mental Biology: The bacillus that causes human leprosy is one of the wiliest and most elusive organisms of the germ world. For many year, ne saia, re searchers have attempted to maintain growth of the organism outside its natural host, the hu man body. Though it grows vig orously inside the body, it stops multiplying and soon dies it placed in an artificial environment. Researchcrss would like to coax Cancer MPs Eye Parasite ATLANTIC CITY. N.J. AP) - A plant with joyous yulctide con notationsthe mistletoe is under investigation in the ever-widening search for new chemicals to fight cancer. A team of Buffalo. N.Y., re searchers reported Sunday they had confirmed earlier findings that there is antitumor activity against certain animal cancers in plants of the loranthus ( mistletoe i family. Researcher Oleg S. Selawry and two colleagues of Hoswcll Park Memorial Institute told the clos ing session of the 50th annual meeting of the American Assn. for Cancer Research that they had tested a number of preparations derived from such plants. Some of them showed strong tu- mor-inhibiling action, especially against one lorm of mouse leuke mia. they said. Tho scientists said attempts are now under way to isolate and purify the active principle. RR Shortage Meeting Held SALEM (API Ways to prevent an expected shortage of railroad freight cms in the Northwest this summer were discussed at a meeting ol Ciov. Mark Hatfield's emergency transportation com mittee here Saturday. Major rail lines serving the re gion sent representatives. Afterward R. J. lluguc, Med ford lumberman who heads the committee, said results of the meeting were encouraging. Ho reported that the committee will Inform the Assn. of American Itailiowls that a more equitable distribution of freight cars is needed for the Northwest. The as sociation controls the allocation of ihe cars over the country. llogue said the emergency com mittee also may decide to appeal to the Interstate Commerce Com mission, lie said It may ask the ICC lo fix regulations that would nennlire rail lines that hold cars too long. Gasoline Trucker Killed In Mishap MONTICF.I.LO, Utah lAPt - A truck trailer carrying liquefied gas overturned south of here Sim- day. Driver Charles Allen Hamil ton. 23, Gallup. N.M., was unhurt. He borrowed a smaller truck to transfer gas from the wrecked ve hicle to Aero Gas Corp. tanks at Blanding. Utah. Several hours later, the second truck loft the highway at a hairpin curve and plunged into Rocky Devils Canyon. Hamilton was killed. ' '''''''' the bug into outside growth be cause, aside from possibly help ing towards such an ultimate ob jective as producing a vaccine, such laboratory culturing of the germs would allow a more de tailed study of the bacteria and would provide a means for rapid testing of possible new antileprosy drugs. Attempts to grow rat leprosy germs outside the living animal body have, until now, been almost equally! tough. Some investigators have coaxed some growth in cell cultures, but the amount of bacterial multipli cation was very limited. Chang has come up with one culture in which the number of germs has increased seven times in seven weeks. This is still not as fast as the germ multiplies inside the body, so attempts are being made to step up the rate. If these attempts are successful. said Chang, it may be possible to produce a vaccine against rat leprosy just as the polio vaccine is produced from large cultures of polio virus. Such a vaccine might point-the way to a similar preventive for the human disease.

KLAMATH Experts Give DALLAS. Tex. AP - Space traffic cops and flights to other planets, say the experts, are pos sibly just a decade away. These were the major predic tions today as the Space Forum of the Southwest got underlay with some of the nation's top space scientists participating. Dr. Hubertus Strughold predict ed interplanetary flights within a decade "if the Einstcir.-based the ory of time-curvature holds true." Dr. Andrew G. Haley said space traffic cops would be nec essary in the age of interplanetary travel and are becoming increas ingly needed each day. Strughold, adviser for research at the School of Aviation Medi cine, Randolph Air Force Base. San Antonio, Tex., said that if time actually stands still in the long journey to the stars we may be on the threshold on space travel. Dr. Haley, president of the In ternational Astronautical Federa tion and a Washington, D.C., at torney, said traffic cops of space even are needed now. Haley and Strughold made their statements in separate press con ferences Monday as a prelude to the Space Age rorum, sponsored by the university of Texas. Haley said lawyers already are worrying over who owns space. He said it is an immediate prob lem between nations throwing missiles and satellites into the heavens. Earth-orbiting missiles." he said, "do not atomize and they could drop chunks of steel onto Dallas or Buckingham Palace- big chunks of steel."

OREGON Predictions The United Nations, he said, should set up a traffic control sys tem now to control the path of such missiles. 'Furthermore." he said, "radio- television channels, which control the path of the missiles and satel lites need international allo cating." He said the Soviet Union recent ly had used television channel 8 to control missile and satellite flights. "This already is a case of trespass on United States TV sta- . r- WAGON - rr-N r As Space tions," he said. Strughold was asked, "if th theory that time stands still in space is correct, will it be pos sible for man to make inter planetary flights within 10 years?" He answered. "Ja." in his na tive German. But, he added, not just anybody can. make even an orbital flight around the earth. Training and the proper amount of stability, emotional and men tal, is necessary, he said.
