It also could be because you were missed somehow in the original solicitation list, or because a volunteer solicitor hasn't completed his job. Regardless of the reason, you have a community duty to participate. Take it upon yourself to contact the UCC. When workers meet at noon Tuesday at the Elks Club for the final report, the drive should reveal itself as substantially over the top. Elmer Present, campaign chairman, has appealed personally for last burst of effort on the part of the community to keep Tucson's giving record what it should be.

Whipple cautioned mat no observations were positive but ha believed there was legitimate reason to believe the cocket may not have survived much beyond the California passage. Whipple said that If the rocket should still be circling the earth Sunday and he doubted it would be then the proof would have to come from England or elsewhere in Europe.

Whipple said rapid changes In the circling time of the rocket indicated it was losing altitude rapidly and heading toward th denser lower atmosphere that would burn it up. A Los Altos, moon-watcher, Roy N. Griffin, reported he sighted the rocket at 7:09 p.m..

He said it was brighter than the planet Venus or any other object in the sky except 'the moon. This led Dr. John S.

30 -The Air Force is getting ready to build the first of a probable chain of Bomarc antiaircraft missile launching sites which eventually may ring the country with a long-reach defense against jet bomber and conventional guided missile attack. At the same time, planners are assaying another, even more perplexing aspect of defense: the approaching problem of redesigning the distant and overseas radar warning systems to detect hypersonic ballistic missiles within minutes of their launching from Soviet bases thousands of miles away. Such a long-range, instant-reac- uon aeieciion system is prerequisite to the use of any anti-mis. sile missile system. The Air Force has just been authorized by the defense department, it was learned Saturday, to acquire land for the first Bomarc launching site.

Official announcement on the approximate location may be made shortly. Air defense experts cf the Air Force are understood to believe that a complete chain could be created with construction of about 15 such sites. This would compare with more than 30 launching sites used in the Army's Nike antiaircraft missile system for close-in defense of cities along the northern border and northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
