From there, however, the ac counts differ. The Boston of that day was lo cated on a peninsula projection in Boston Harbor. To the north across shallow inlet was Charlestown. Longfellow had Revere in Charles- town taking the signal from Old North Church that the British were coming "one if by land and two if by sea and galloping off to ward Concord alerting the patriots. Historians claim the signal was flashed by Robert Newman on Re vere s Instructions to other revolu tionaries across (he bay in Charles- town. Revere is said to have still been in Boston when the lantern was hung in the church belfry. Longfellow mentions only Re vere's ride. Historic accounts contend he was accompanied much df the way by William Dawes, a young shoemaker, and Dr. Samuel Prescott. Neither docs Longfellow mention that Revere eluded one British pa trol. He and Dawes were captured by a second patrol while Prescott escaped and made his way to Con coed where the colonial arms were stored. Longfellow has Revere reaching Concord: . "It was two by the village clock, "When he came to the bridge in concord town. Before their capture, Revere and Dawes were able to twarn John Hancock and Samuel Adams so they could escape arrest for trea son. Why docs Longfellow differ from historical accounts of the night? The reason isn't clear. When writ ing his poem the historical facts were already in print. One theory given is that Long fellow, by writing only of Revere.

As I rode, with never a breath or pause: But what was the use, when my name was Dawes? Succeed from his predecessor, Dean Ache son. But building on the coalition pattern thus established, he ex tended U.S. commitments in the Far East, Communist Asia and he Middle East to such a degree that Soviet-Chinese communism can hardly thrust out in any di rection now without risking U.S. retaliation. In (he course of making the new commitments Dulles developed a technique which solved a difficult problem in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. By getting advance authority from Congress, he eliminated a potential weakness which, in a moment of crisis, might have pre vented the President from taking effective action. Such a crisis arose last year when revolution overthrew the pro-Western government of Iraq. Dulles and Eisenhower feared that other friendly regimes would top pie like a row of blocks, begin ning with Lebanon and Jordan. Against threats of Soviet coun teraction the President dispatched U.S. troops to Lebanon and Brit ish forces went into Jordan to save (ailing into unfriendly hands. The Lebanese action was anoth er in a long list of moves dram atized under Dulles' policy of brinkmanship which has been bitterly controversial. Dulles was in international hot water for a time last year with his insistence on supporting Na tionalist China in its defense of the Chinese coastal islands, Que- moy and Matsu. against Red at tack. Britain was especially (ear ful that Dulles might lead the United States into an unwanted war in the Far East. He was con fident, however, that if American determination was clear to the Chinese Reds they would not at tempt to invade the islands. In the end his judgment seemed to be home out by their failure to press tneir campaign. lo him. in this as in other crises the important thing has not been the real estate involved but the principle that it is dangerous to try to buy peace by yielding to the threats of a potential aggres sor. His theory of brinkmanship holds that it is necessary for the United Stales again and again to face up to a Communist chal lenge in soihe vulnerable area of the non-Communist world and to go to the brink of war to defend a free country against conauest in I'.ifti Dulles found himself faced with perhaps the worst and most dangerous crisis of his State Department years. It involved the seizure of the Suez Canal by tgypt. The British and French govern ments then in power grew tired ol wnat they considered his dc- tcatist attitude on the Suez issue They attacked Egypt, after an at tack by Israel. Dulles was causht in the dread fill dilemma, as he saw it, of having to back this country's chief allies in an' adventure of which he thoroughly disapproved or hav ing to denounce their action and see the Atlantic coalition split wjric open. He chose the latter course and was immediately put into the un enviable position of siding with the Soviet Union in the I'nitcd Na tions against Bntian and France It took a year to restore the friend ly Allied relationship. Possibly one of Dulles' bitter est disappointments, measured by ms early purpose of taking hc roio war ottcnsive, was his inabil ity to do anything decisive about the Hungarian revolt against com munisin in 1956. Direct Western Intervention, he judged, would have meant war. and the administration decided against IL 'Lab' At Cape Canaveral World's Most Expensive CAPB CANAVERAL. Fla. (UPI) When America's first human rocket passenger blasts off in about a year, the international spotlight will focus on what mis sile men here call "the world's most expensive laboratory." This is the 485-miUion-dolIar At lantic Missile Range, which begins with this once-barren sandspit on the mid-Florida East Coast and extends 5.000 miles southeast to the British crown colony of As cension Island. The rocket passenger, one of the seven astronauts named recently, will be hurled about 200 miles over the ocean in a prelude to Project Mercury, the nation s plan to put a man into orbit around the earth. But although he will be highly trained for his momentous trip, the rocket voyager will play a relatively inactive part. After the blastoff, the experiment will be entirely in the hands of the men who operate the Atlantic Missile range. Their job can be divided rough ly into three phases: determining where the speeding rocket is dur ing every second it is in flight, retrieving its nose cone from the ocean, and interpreting data on what happened to the passenger and the nose cone in flight. The Air Force disclosed to Unit ed Press International that prep arations already have started for the first mans flight aboard a rocket. The plans are secret, but a rundown on the range as It is now being operated should give some idea of the enormity of the job. Between the Cape and Ascen sion are 11 other stations m the intricate tracking and data-receiving network. These are Jupiter, Fla., about 80 miles north of Miamf; Grand Bahama, Eleuthera. San Salvador, Mayaguana. and Grand Turk, is lands in the Bahamas: the Do minican Republic: Puerto Rico: St. Lucia and Antigua in the Brit ish West Indies; and Fernando de Noronha, 250 miles off the coast of Brazil, which owns the island. A glance at the map will show two big gaps in this chain of data gathering stations; the 2,236-mile span . from St. Lucia to Fernando de Noronha, .and the 1,225-mile jump from Fernando to Ascen sion. To plug these gaps, the Air Force uses specially-instrumented ocean range vessels. Manning the thousands of little black boxes" the tracking and data - gathering instruments at each station are nearly 2.000 men all but a handful of them civilians employed by the government The Eleuthera station in the Ba hamas is typical of others in the group. About 140 full-time techni cians and maintenance personnel are assigned there. These men work for the Radio Corp. of Amer ica 'RCA), which is in charge of all instrumentation on the range, and Pan American World Air ways, the range "housekeeper." All aspects of a missile s flight pertormance must be measured. The Air Force docs this job with high-speed cameras, theodolites (instruments which measure hori zontal and vertical angles), and a highly complex device known as the azusa system. The azusa is used to measure the position of a ballistic missile traveling 15,000 miles an hour at an altitude of several hundred miles. However, the Air Force relies primarily on telemetry for infor mation on what is happening in side a missile during flight. The telemetry devices are black box es with probes extending to all parts of the missile. Similar boxes presumably will be attached to the rocket passenger. When the missile men wish to recover a nose cone hurled over the ocean, the operation becomes even more complex.

Miles Of Tape The idea is for the. ships and planes to spot the cone, glowing fiery red with atmospheric fric tion,' as it plunges back to earth from space. The planes then guide the ships to the area where the cone fell. This plan, or a varia tion of it, is expected to be used to recover the first human rocket passengers. The radioed telemetry informa tion, which continues through im pact of the- missile s nose cone, is taken down on tape recorders through huge antennas at the downrange stations by ships and in some cases by specially instru mented nirnlanpc These tapes hundreds of miles long are returned to the Cape and processed in the technical laboratory, a huge building which is one of the largest in Florida. By analyzing these tapes, missile men can determine exactly what happened to their "bird" at any point in flight. The figure of 48a million dollars quoted above applies only to 'the net value of the equipment at the Cape and the downrange stations. No estimate is available on just how much it takes to operate the downrange stations, but the cost runs into several million dollars a year.

Unofficial reports said at least 16 persons had been killed and nearly 70 wounded so far by rebel terrorists seeking to sabotage the voting ordered by the French. The voting began bunaay. in me city of Algiers, 45 per cent of those eligible balloted. In the countryside where the rrencn army is in direct control some 60 per cent braved the threat of rebel reprisal. Early returns from tnree warns in Algiers gave a lead to an ex treme right .wing faction favoring Algerian integration with France and an end to the government of President Charles de Gaulle. Although only municipal offices are at stake, the campaign cen tered on a struggle between back ers . and opponents of de Gaulle. City voters had a choice of can didates, but voters in more than 60 per cent of the rural commu nities had only candidates ap proved and mustered by the French authorities. In Algiers, 258 Europeans and 193 Moslems campaigned for 75 municipal council seats. Most of the Moslem candidates were the same men who have cooperated with the French for years. De Gaulle had hoped that the elections would produce a repre sentation of moderate Moslem na tionalists with whom France could begin working toward negotiations for Algeria s fugure status. But even the moderate nationalists re fused to run, claiming the elec tion had been decided in advance Although European Algerians constitute 10 per cent of the coun try's 10 million inhabitants, they ere guaranteed one-third of all municipal council seats. Gen. Jacques Massu, command er of the Algiers area, sought to conquer. voter apathy and tear by broadcasting an appeal for a larger turnout.
