CLARK 643 Ohio Street C-2288 608 National West Terre Haute D-2555 THE TERRE HAUTE STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1958 discussing the inter-university research committee report prior last night. The report suggests that six high priority studies of the George Gettinger, Sullivan; E. Earl Allen, Palestine, Charles Haute, and Rabb Emison, Vincennes. inches long and six inches in di ameter and weighing 29.7 pounds was expected to complete a trip around the world every 90 minutes. The new launching attempt came in the midst of a flurry of reports that the Russians had launched some kind of a large space vehicle.

THE NAVY TRIED to send the Vanguard satellite aloft in December. The three-stage rocket rose only a few feet, toppled and destroyed itself in flames. That vehicle contained in its I nose a 6.4-inch sphere weighing only about three and one-quarter pounds. A Vanguard rocket launching planned for March may use a 20- pound instrumented sphere 21 inches in diameter and later Vanguard satellites may be even larger. SOVIET RUSSIA launched the world's first man made moon, the 184-pound Sputnik last Oct.

4. On Nov. 3 the Reds put up the Sputnik 11 with a live dog aboard. Sputnik I reached a maximum altitude of 560 miles, and kept orbiting until early this month when it spun closer and closer to earth and finally disintegrated. The second Red satellite was reported to have reached an altitude of 1,056 miles.

Its dog passenger died not long after the launching, but the satellite itself is still circling the earth. The Navy has plans to put yeast cells aboard the Vanguard satellite as an experiment on the effect of space flight on living organisms. THE ARMY SAID there would be no living matter in the Jupiter satellite. Some two minutes after the launching mighty rocketdyne engine of the five-ton first stage was expected to exhaust the last of its liquid propellants, a combination of oxygen and either alcohol or kerosene. Although the rocket flame would end there, experts said the missile could be seen for about two minutes longer because of the light from its red-hot surface.

AFTER THE first-stage burnout, the explosive bolts that linked the Redstone first stage to the upper stages were set to discharge. This would enable the spent Redstonea metal tube six feet in diameter and more than GU feet long to fall away. Even before the Jupiter-C was launched the upper-stage bucket resting on top of the Redstone section was set to spinning rapidly. Inside the bucket sat the tiers of smaller rockets of the upper stages, for all the world like bottles spinning around in a washer. AS THE Jupiter-C climbed and accelerated, the rate of spin of the upper-stage rockets increased.

Once it was free of the dead Redstone, the upper part of the Jupiterif it was functioning properlywould coast on silently toward the stars, its rocket load still spinning like mad. At an altitude of 200 or more miles the vehicle was "programmed" to arch over to the horizontal. Then, when a course parallel to the earth's surface had been achieved, the rocket clusters would fire. "AND THAT is why we have to spin those rockets," an Army officer explained. "If any one or more rockets should fail to fire properly, we would still have a uniform thrust SO long as they were spinning.

these high rockets were stationary in their bucket, the failure of some of them to perform could throw the satellite far out of its orbit course." Rocket experts said that any deviation from the horizontal greater than one percent could prevent the establishment of an orbit. If the satellite maintained an orbit at 300 miles altitude at 18,000 miles an hour it might last indefinitely. THE ARMY satellite had two radio transmitters, each weighing about two pounds, aboard. They were: The standard Vanguard transmitter with an output of 60 miliwatts, capable of being received on 108.03 megacycles, by the Vanguard minitrack network and by amateur radio operators. It was exepcted to continue broadcasting for two to three weeks.

2. A long-range, low- powered10 to 20 milliwatts microlock transmitter operating on a frequency of 108 megacycles. and 1, 1958 St. Louis Area Hit By Heavy Snowfall; Traffic Jammed BY JERE COX ST. LOUIS.

Jan. 31. IP! The worst snow storm in seven years slowed traffic to a snail's pace in Louis tonight and spread rapidly across the Midwest into the East. At least two traffic deaths were blamed on the fast-mounting storm. The snows eased off in Missouri and Iowa, but heavy snow warnings were issued for parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio.

Pennsylvania and West Virginia. THE SNOW CAME down at a rate of more than an inch an hour in St. Louis and was 11 inches deep by nightfall in the city's heaviest Winter storm since 1951. A metropolitan area cf two million persons was affected. By rush hour time, downtown streets were packed solid with cars and street corners were jammed with homeward-bound workers.

Busses were few and far between and some travellers had to wait as long as two hours for a ride. TRAFFIC WAS so jammed on St. Louis County roads that children who were let out of school early were still stranded in their school busses by nightfall. Lambert-St. Louis Field was closed to incoming planes, trains and inter-city busses ran far behind schedule and the road to Louisiana, was blocked.

The state highway patrol reported that Highway 54 between Jefferson City and New Bloomfield in the center of Missouri was blocked by 100 stalled cars. In the South, tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings were up tor northeast and east central Alabama. AS THE ST. LOUIS storm gained strength, school, officials sent A tri- all children 2:30 P. M.

state meeting of Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky newspaper editors at nearby Alton, was canceled because of the snows. The storm was part of a tempestuous national weather pattern, with floods in the far West and rain and snow in the East. A new storm gathered strength off the Oregon coast in the wake of a tempest which sent rivers boiling out of their banks in northern California. A FLOOD on Pope Creek marooned 45 children, ranging from six months old to college age, at the Faith Orphanage 30 miles northwest of Napa, fresh Cal. The and children had plenty of milk meat, but there were DO vegetables, bread, fresh fruit, lights means of communication.

To the East, rain was expected to change to snow in western Pennsylvania. The area was warned to expect 4 to 8 inches of SNOW by Saturday morning. Retired Syrian Pastor Succumbs The Very Rev. Basilios G. Mahfouz, who retired a year ago as pastor of St.

George Syrian American Orthodox. Church because of illness, died at 7:30 o'clock last evening at St. Anthony's Hospital. His age was 69. The family home is at 2423 Spruce Street.

A native of Damascus, Syria, the Rev. Mr. Mabfouz came bere two years ago to serve the St. George Church, having previously had a pastorate at Beckley. W.

Specifically, it.

was suggested that a joint Illinois-Indiana Wabash Valley Research and Planning Agency be organized. Such an agency might be created "through an inter-state compact whereby the two states would assign personnel from already existing AN ELABORATION upon the general principles behind the plan for research was provided by committee members who discussed briefly the contribution of engineering to Wabash Valley development, agriculture's stake in that development and the commercial potential in the valley. Professor N. B. Scott of the civil engineering department, Purdue University, stated that engineering has four prime responsibilities to fill.

These are to contribute to action programs, take an active role in the collection of necessary data, suggest alternate courses of action and assist in the co-ordination of plans and procedures. OPPORTUNITY was listed as agriculture's chief stake in Wabash development by Professor Lowell A. Hardin of the agricultural economics department, Purdue University. Professor Hardin explained by stating there is vital interest in. "Opportunity for vocational choice.

Employment opportunities for young men and women. Tax base of solid industry that will help support an equal educational opportunity for farm youth. Cultural opportunities that accompany a vigorous, growing communitynot a stagnated one. "Most important of all," the professor said. "is a growing industrial and business base in the valley, Well conceived and planned in an orderly fashion, its meaning to farm and non-farm people alike is a better tomorrow." CALLED upon to summarize the research findings of the committee, Professor Lewis B.

Wetmore; head of the area planning department of the University of Illinois, stated: "This is the plan for research which was requested and your committee has now completed the charge accepted by the universities last July. These and other universities and colleges may now be called upon to take on a different responsibility the execution the of specific research projects along lines Addressing recommended the in members the of report." the Wabash Valley Association and all others present, Professor Wetmore said, "The program set forth in the report comprises a series of steps -a route to follow.

EVEN BEFORE the missile was launched. its form, theretofore secret, could be easily made out in the searchlights playing on it. It was tall and slender and snow white up to the stubby end of the Redstone first stage rocket. On top of that stage sat a round bucket which, about 11 minutes before the launching, was seen to start spinning. Above the spinning bucket-containing a number of smaller size rockets the slender satellite itself protruded for several feet.

THE SATELLITE was polished silver in the floodlights, marked with paralled stripes of dark brown color running barber-pole fashion down the sides. These stripes were layers of zirconium oxide applied to minimize the temperature changes. The Redstone first stage rocket was scheduled to burn out some minutes after leaving the stand, and shortly thereafter, would fall away. This separation, visible on some previous Jupiter-C launchings, was not discernible on this occasion. The rocket vehicle itself on taking off demonstrated that it was one of powerful rockets ever launched at Cape Canaveral.

Its furious red fiery blast extended far beneath it as it pushed its way up into the sky. THE GIANT missile became fully visible to watchers on the beaches some miles away about an hour before launching, when the crane surrounding it was rolled back. It stood there minute after minute, with fumes of liquid oxygen drifting out from it like steam from a simmering kettle. At the moment the rocket gine was started, there was a sharp flash of fire. Almost immediately this expanded to a huge orange bloom of flame panied by an earth-shaking roar.

IT SPRANG into the air and moved up with a speed almost matching that of much lighter and smaller missiles. The thunder of the rocket engine was so terrific that observers could only shout at each other and even then could not make themselves understood. The watchers waved their arms and pounded each other on the back as the missile surged skyward. THE JUPITER-C climed vertically for what appeared to be an extremely long period, by COntrast with ballistic missiles that have been fired here recently. As struggled away -from the launching pad, chunks of frost dropped from its icy shape.

Far up in the sky, minutes after the missile's flame had disappeared, the upper stages of the rocket were expected to reach a course horizontal to the earth, and to signal that information to the ground. WAITING AT a control station at the cape was Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, director of research projects for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. At the proper moment, Stuhlinger pushed the button that was to ignite the upper stages of the rocket and send it to orbital locity: Friends said Stuhlinger recently became a father. They said his wife told him, "Okay, I had my little satellite.

Now you have yours." THE JUPITER was to be launched slightly to the south of east. Thus its satellite nose would follow orbit path over a consider- able part of the most heavilypopulated areas of the earth, a route much the same as was planned for the Navy's Vanguard satellite. The new satellite, a tube 80 likely to last for two to' three months. "The satellite and final-stage rocket were, designed, toe remain earth as together, anthe Air Force said. "The satellite is not designed to be recovered." The Army said the satellite in its orbit would have about the brilliance of a fifth to sixth mag.

THEY BELIEVE, salvation of Arab nationalism lies in unity. Syrian Premier Sabri Assali told reporters all details of the union had been worked out. At a second meeting the cabinets were present. Twelve Egyptians and nine Syrians attended. The proclamation will be made before the two parliaments at a joint session.

THE UNIFICATION will be far from complete with the mere proclamation, however. Official Syrian sources gave this probable timetable: 1. Separate parliamentary sessions in Cairo and Damascus next Wednesday to vote on the proclamation. Each will nominate a candidate for president of the combined countries, but Kuwalty already has said he thinks Nasser should be it. 2.

A plebiscite to ratify the election of a president to govern the new state under a temporary con1 stitution, reported already agreed upon by the two cabinets, for a transitional period of six months. 3. AUTOMATIC dissolution of both cabinets and formation of a new central Cabinet by the new president early in March. 4. The new president will appoint a to administer Syria governor the transition period.

5. Late in August, a unified National Assembly will be chosen at a plebiscite under a new ment constitution. Foreign, defense and interior affairs will be unified at once, but joint economic, financial and currency systems will have to be dovetailed by joint committees gradually.
