A Nike Hercules missile has been successfully launched from a mobile unit according to information just released by the Department of Defense in Washington Design and installation of the launching equipment on the experimental vehicle was accomplished at the Charlotte Douglas Aircraft Co plant which produces the missiles The mobile unit called the Goer attracted attention here last spring when motorists and pedestrians on Statesville Avenue caught glimpses of the huge strange-looking vehicle through the Douglas fence Douglas people have been unable to comment on the vehlele-launcher until now At present the Nike Hercules must he launched from fixed concrete sites but the Goer could make the weapon mobile The Goer is experimental and no decision to put it into product ion has been announced Early last year Douglas and Bell Telephone Laboratories proposed to the Army that the Goer be adopted as a completely mobile transport and launching platform for the Nike Hercules Nance said the foreclosure proceedings in no way affected plans to stage the National 400 stock car race on Oct 15 "We're going to run the race" he said "And the track never will be auctioned off We'll beat the deadline In fact we hope to have some good news on our loan this week" The speedway owes about $500000 most of it acquired in construction of the 11A-mile track the early part of 190 Officials have been trying fer three months to obtain a longterm loan of from $300000 to $800000 in order to consolidate all its debts into one thus eliminating higher-interest short term notes At a stockholders' meeting on Sept 8 they admitted the life of the speedway depended on whether a longterm loan could be obtained A list perhaps incomplete of creditors includes in addition to McDevitt Street AP White and Associa'es $6726 Allen and Co $1478 Industrial Construction Co $31969 Lentz and Cress Plumbing Co $770 Owen Flowe and Son Construction Co S13815528 Horne Electric Co $193717 James Mc Maine and Henry Morgan hold a second mortgage In excess of $200 000 The track values its physical assets at $1500000 There have been three races at the speedway In 1960 the World 600 was run in June and the National 400 in October This year 50000 fans paid about $400000 to watch the second World 600 in May heels oil Launching Vehicle truck boat missile launcher and goat With its big wheels and special body the vehicle can tote a Nike Hercules through desert sand arctic ice tropical mud and inland rivers All of this mobility would enhance the Nike Hercules missiles' value both in surface-to-surface and anti-aircraft offensive operations Modification of the basic hicle for launching if such production is ordered could mean big additional employment at the Douglas plant Blue Law Doesn't Dent Sales Here A Nike Hercules Mounted On Experimental Goer during launching A blast deflector was built and installed to protect the vehicle against the missile's booster backwash Control boxes for electrical and hydraulic equipment were mounted Mrs 1'illiams will be crooned Queen Charlotte The fair comes during the 200th anniversary year of the marriage of Princess Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg Strelitz Germany to King George of England The city of Charlotte was named for the English queen The crowning will climax a coronation pageant at which Mayor Stan Brookshire and Ben Douglas fair president will

booths More than $15000 in prizes will go to exhibitors They include home demon stration clubs 4-11 clubs FFA clubs home arts groups and individuals who will show canned goods cakes i flower arrangements and other Hems The ii Goer vehicle capable of carrying a 15ton load over extremes of terrain was built and tested by Tourneau Westinghouse Co under the direction of the Army Ordnance Tank and Automotive Command A test model of the experimental vehicle was received by Douglas here on Jan 24 A launching rail and support were added a nd outrigger jacks were installed at the rear end of the vehicle to stabilize it speedway could pay off its more than half-million-dollar debt before the foreclosure proceedings were completed This would forestall seizure of the track The race track is on Highway 29 North just over the Mecklenburg line inside Cabarrus County An Oct 15 race there is expected to be run According to speedway officials an advertisment put ting the speedway up for auction is scheduled to appear for the first time in a Concord newspaper sometime this week The ad will then run for 30 days after which the track will be auctioned off Officials of the Caharrus court clerk's office Sunday night could not confirm that the action had been filed The creditor who instituted proceedings is not known The party is believed to be McDevitt Street a Charlotte construction firm that holds first lien on the speedway and stands behind first mortgage holder John Crosland St Co in the payment line Crosland is owed about $40000 Another source said all the creditors
