Rocket Aims Destruction At Mainland "DENNIS THE MENACE" PAGE 5 A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Monday. July 1, 196J PENNKY'S 8TH & MAIN STREET OPEN DAILY 9:30 TO 5:30 FRIDAY EVENING TILL 9 P.M. S I CAPE CANAVERAL UPI For eight horrible seconds the sleek, white rocket instead o! arching harmlessly over the At lanticveered sharply over the heart of the Cape and aimed death and destruction toward the mainland. At the end of those eight sec onds, which seemed much longer, a range safety officer triggered! a pair of "destruct" switches' which blew the Minuteman ICBM into hundreds of fiery fragments including tons of volatile solid propellant, into a "safety area," keeping damage at a minimum. Kicre were no injuries in the: spectacular accident here last Oc tuber. A year and a half earlier an Atlas missile knifed into the sky in the first effort to orbit an un manned space capsule. "She looks like a good one," an observer remarked. Others thought so too. But an Air Force officer intent ly watching electronic indicators on an instrument panel knew bet ter. The indicators told him the rocket was off course. He let the missile rise for a few more seconds, khen triggered the switches which sent an elec tric impulse to an explosive pack age inside the Atlas. Erupts In Finnic Instantly, the mighty missile erupted in a ball of fire 15,000 feet in the air. Chunks of flaming debris showered to the ground, some falling on the blockhouse which protected missilemen at the launch site. The space capsule was blasted free by a rocket escape system and was dropped undamaged into the ocean by parachute. There were no injuries. That these two unsuccessful launchings were not further marred by deaths or injuries can be attributed in large measure to what scientists here call the im pact prediction system. The complex system provides the range safety officer, the man who must trigger the "destruct" switches if necessary, with infor mation on where the missile would impact if fuel were to be cut off during powered flight. The system also enables recov ery forces to be on the way to the scene even before the nosei cone impacts. Trains Safely Officers As the nation's pioneer launch ing site, the spaceport here helps train safety officers from other bases and scores of missilemen from operational bases and mili tary schools pass through here for observation and training Safety officers work closely with the launch agencies. The launchers indicate what they would like to attain and then it is determined whether it can be done safely. Charts are drawn covering the entire course of a planned launch. The charts show such things as distances from populated areas, islands along the route and emer gency procedure. During the launch itself several officers besides the range safety officer man various instruments to observe plotted flight data. Because of these safety mcas urcs the potentially dangerous missile prcgi am which involves explosives, great pressures, high voltage and super-inflammable fuels has a safety record that outshines that of many other industries. J Don't Let Too Much Get You Disturbed By ANN LANDERS Italy Readies ROME (UPIi Premier Gio vanni Leone's stop-gap govern ment mad e final preparations Saturday for a two-day visit from President Kennedy. On Monday, when Kennedy ar rives here, Leone's Christian Democratic cabinet, which has not vet been approved by Parlia ment, will begin a crucial battle for its political life. Leone will outline his policies to the legislature and ask for a vote of confidence he must get in order to stay in power. Failure could force President Antonio j Segni to call for new elections, j Italy's current political crisis erupted when the country's Com-1 munist party picked up about a million votes during balloting last April. I How Safe Drivers Can Save Money On Our Insurance See Dear Ann Landers: I wish these girls would quit crying be cause they have figures like iron- ing boards. My problem is just the opposite and I would gladly change places with any of them. It's easy to add to what you don't have, but nothing can be done when you have too much. Ever since I was 12, I have been subjected to crude remarks because of generous over-endow ment. All through school rve had a collection of private nicknames you wouldn't believe. I tried walk ing hunched over, carrying my books in front. 1 wore loose blouses. Nothing helped. You can't imagine what it's like for a young girl never to be able to wear a sweater or a strapless dress or a low - cut gown. And what a job finding a decent tit! I need -a size iu dress w ith a 14 top. So please tell the Flat Flossies to stop moaning. If they had to wear a double D cup they'd know what trouble is. ALL ME Dear You: An embarrassment of richps, you might call H. Here's vour letter ana ici s none u cheers up the Flat Flossies al though they will probably find lit- tie comfort in knowing that Sjime one else has too much of what they'd like more of. Dear Ann Landers: I am the mother of four teen-agers. These are perilous times for growing up, but I am not concerned even remotely about my daughters, Ann. It's the boys that worry me. Tom is 16 and Jim 18. They are obedient and respectful, ex cellent students, well-behaved and outstanding in athletics. So what is the problem? It s the way the girls run after them that wor ries me sick. How much tempta tion can a young fellow stand? Now that school is out the phone rings night and day. Both boys have summer jobs, b u t when they come home at 5:30 there is a list of girls who have telephoned. Every night two or three girls drive up in their con vertibles. Sunday a girl came over in her car. She was wearing a bikini. I wouldn't think of allowing my daughters to be so shameless. What can a mother do? AT LANTA, GA. Dear Atlanta: The world has always had shameless females and I see no evidence that this sort of woman is disappcraing. Your work is done, Mother or it isn't. If your boys wore taught early to respect them selves and others you need not worry. If you failed to teach them, worrying now won't help. (Suited. I hope you will find space to print just one more. I grew up during the depression. Every evening gown 1 ever owned went to at least four proms. My maternity dresses went the rounds, too. Nothing was wasted When we moved to another city I offered some clothing to a worn an who hasn't spoken to me since. So when my husband decided to discard an expensive sport jack et I gingerly offered it to a moth er who could well afford to buy her son a new one. She gave me return some play clothes for my younger children. It kills me to send kids out in brand new clothes to play in the mud. I was delighted to have the hand-me-downs. This woman and I are now good friends. The secret is to know which people will be offended and which ones will be pleased. And the only way to find out is to ask.-DID IT Dear Did It: Thanks for a nice, homey letter. There are more peo ple like you than the other kind. And I'm glad! Confidential to Anti Ash Flick er: The moment she lights up hand her a nice big ash tray. She'll get the point. French Face Hard Times PARIS (UPI) President Charles de Gaulle's government faces the worst labor and farm unrest since the month-long winter strike by more than 200.000 coal miners severely cut French fac tory production and threatened to paralyze small industry.

Police ringed the state-run aviation aircraft factory Toulouse following a company lockout. Vegetable and fruit farmers demonstrated for higher prices for their products.
