ALL SET SAN DIEGO. Calif. (AP1 Weisenberg of San Diego hooked a ride witli three men in jeep during a hunting trip in Utali. He fell off the jeep and injured his hunter. It Tliursday night it into an orbit In chartless space.

Perhaps, as unofficial report, it can be a superaccurate military missile as we 1. In fact, an hidustry source has i indicated an Atlas can within a mile night. The 85 -fool missile made its first intercontinental trip just 22 days 6.325 miles from Cape Canaveral, to the coastal area of Africa. Tliursday night the Defense Department called the November feat a precise demonstration of intercontinental capability for distances of more than 6,000 miles. The Atlas probably costs something like two million dollars.

In spite of Its enormous size, it is said to be so delicate that you can drive a hammer into it with a good solid blow. Its thin walls act not only as fuselage, but also as fuel tanks. Loaded for its space duties, It weigs about 122 tons. The missile stands on concrete pedestals well over two stories high. Tlirough these pedestals bends a long sort of horn of plenty with its small end ready to receive the fire of the Atlas engines.

When the missile blasts off, the exhaust flames from the engines pour through the by some 30,000 gallons of water a minute. Even then the flames seat- almost the full length of a football field from tlie open end of the flame deflector. Flame, steam and running water pour over the concrete spillway. Then the missile begins to rise slowly from the gaining speed. The two booster engines, churning out some 150,000 pounds of thinst the central sus- lainer engine with another 100,000 pounds of thrust push the missile aloft.

After the big booster engines have burned their fuels, they shuck off like two unneeded wings and the Atlas burns onward with its sustained engine alone. The U.N.
