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.

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

Given Life
BUTLER, Ala. (AP)-A wealthy
timberman was sentenced to life
imprisonment Monday night for

Attorneys for John L. McPhear-

U.S. Scientists Announce
Leprosy Vaccine Stride

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (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.

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

ton. 23, Gallup. N.M., was unhurt.
He borrowed a smaller truck to

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.

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."

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-

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
