The Jupiter is an Army project and the Thor is the Air Force's. Both are intermediate range ballistic missiles, designed to travel 1,500 miles.

There had been talk earlier of dropping one or the other. Whether Russia's success in launching the first Earth satellite figured in the Jupiter-Thor decision was not mentioned. The Russians used a rocket of tremendous power to thrust the satellite into its orbit. In view of the fact that current funds for the Jupiter program provide only for carrying it through December, the question was raised where the money would come from for continuing it. A Defense Department spokesman replied that it would be the responsibility of the department to "find the money." He also said the Defense Department has lifted any restrictions on the Army for HAPPY MILWAUKEE TOURIST Mrs.

Burdette thus became the sixth pitcher in World Series history to chalk up three wins without a loss in one series, joining such immortals are Christy Mathewson, Charles Adams, John Coombs, Stan Coveleskie and Harry Brecneen. The Braves, previously known as a team to "choke" in the clutch, smashed that idea to bits today, coming up with the great plays in the clutch. It was the usually flawless Yankees which came apart at the seams, committing three errors. An error by rookie Tony Kubek on a routine double play ball opened the floodgates for four Milwaukee runs in the third. Del Crandall socked a home run in the eighth for icing on the victory cake.

(See World Series story on Page 4C.) Visual Fix On Sputnik Discovered WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 UH-The Soviet earth satellite was outshone by its third-stage rocket in American skies today. An observation team at New Haven, reported sighting the rocket, which gave the satellite the final thrust on its historic spin around the world at 5:23 a.m. EST. Scientists credited the team with providing the first visual fix on the rocket in this country since last Friday's launching.

Both the rocket and the radio-equipped globe it carried into the outer atmosphere are considered as satellites as they orbit the earth. TRACKING CREW Dr. J. Allen Hynek, director of the optical tracking crew at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, said the rocket is larger than the globe and reflects a brighter light. Hynek estimated the two satellites are about 700 miles apart, with the third-stage rocket in the lead because it has probably dropped to a smaller orbit.

"This is leading up to having two things to watch," he said. "They're just a few minutes apart now but we expect that distance to grow." The National Security Council met for over two hours in Washington today and evidently reviewed the U.S. missile and satellite programs. PLANNING GROUP As usual, the White House refused to give out any information on what took place at the meeting, presided over by President Eisenhower. But it was announced that in addition to the regular members of the top-level planning group the following were present: Dr.

Crop losses in the state are now estimated at $56.2 million, suiting mainly from a month- long rainy spell following a drought in August. Release of the newest estimate came yesterday as state Agriculture Commissioner A. W. Todd announced he had sent a second telegram to the President, urging that, Alabama be declared a disaster, area. Todd's initial request was wired a week ago.

-The Agricultural Credit Services asencv of the USDA also said it had requested the Farmers Home Administration to "make full re-'port in credit needs" of the Alabama disaster area. Todd's telegram to the President yesterday said a further survey of crop damage since his Oct. 3 request showed these results: Cotton losses, $28.6 million; peanuts, $10.4 million; corn, $7.2 mil-linn- nthpr rrnns including hav. small grain, $5 million. An additional $5.5 million damage was aiicef4 hv wpathpr in AtlfllSt.

"It is imperative that you declare Alabama a disaster area so that the farmers in our state can derive all benefits possible from federal aid. otherwise many of our farmers will not be able to stay oh the farm in 1958," Todd messaged the President. IMMEDIATE ACTION Todd estimated production loss on cotton at 75,000 bales from September rains and loss on peanuts at $4.5 million in the same period with no tonnage figure given. A similar telegram was sent to Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. Meanwhile, two Alabama congressmen joined in requesting aid for hardhit farmers.

Congressman George Grant tele-gramed The Advertiser that he had urged Benson "to take immediate action to make production emergency loans available to farmers whose crops have been severely damaged by excessive rains and wet weather."

An announcement said that Secretary Neil McElroy had approved a recommendation by William M. Holaday, his special assistant for guided missiles, "to continue testing of the Jupiter and Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles IRBM until a better technical basis is established for an IRBM program decision." The decision to continue the testing of both missiles, probably for some months, resoived a question of whether to terminate one or merge both by the end of this year It was based on recommendations of a committee headed by Holaday.

Both of them reaffirmed their positions yesterday. Eisenhower said he is hopeful it will soon be possible to withdraw the troops.

The six Negro girls and three boys were all in class today. As they have been since arrival of the troops, they were escorted on the campus by a detachment of guardsmen. Eisenhower sent the soldiers in Sept. 24, the day after white adult mobs rioted outside the school. The rioting followed withdrawal of the guardsmen by Faubus, after they had kept the Negroes out of Central High for the better part of a month.

Faubus yesterday showed newsmen photographs which he said depicted soldiers and officers "sauntering through the shorts-clad high school girls during their gym class." He said he regarded this is indiscreet on the part of the troops.

10 The Central High School racial integration crisis subsided today into a silent deadlock. Gov. Orval Faubus stood firm on his stand that no compromise is in sight unless nine Negro students are withdrawn from integrated Central classrooms. President Eisenhower has refused to withdraw regular Army troops and federalized Arkansas National Guardsmen from the school until he is satisfied that the court-endorsed Central High cleaners, Mrs. Minnie Henderson, as saying the two men came into the cleaners with a pistol and ordered her to the rear room.

She said the men scooped the day's receipts from the cash register while she was in the back. Mrs. Henderson described the men as being tall and slender and between 35 and 45 years old. The employe was in the cleaners alone checking cleaning slips when the robbers entered about closing time. She said they ordered her into the rear of the building and then told her to go back to the front and open the cash register.
