and Mrs. Harmon Smith missile propulsion rnd was the head of the bioasti onautics division of Space Technology Laboratories until she temporarily retired to await the birth of her first child--or children. The doctor says her firstborn may be twins. In an interview, Mrs. Roennau said, sue feels her major contribution to science has h.tn her vocal cords.

"I'm a loud mouth," she laughed. "I tell people what I think. I attempt to spread the gospel and convince some of. our voting citizens of what we ought to be doing in the space field." She believes Americans do not sufficiently appreciate the Russian challenge. "Americans must wake up to the fact that we have very real competition anil they must be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to see that we win this competition," she said.

55 Yi rilGHT UNION CHIEF Ronald A. Brown, above, is president of the Flight Engineers Union, which is in a four-way dispute with three airlines and the Air Line Pilots Assn. over status of its members. 6-21 HEROES APE? MAPS -U3T BORU I DIM oastronautics helped prepare the way for manned space flights. The soft-spoken Mrs.

Roennau says, "I am impatient with people who do not make full use of all their capabilities." In addition, former occupations ranged from deputy sheriff, showgirl, art instructor, aircraft mechanic, model, railroad switch tower operator and gambling casino shill. Her impatience with waste in any form led to project MIA, the mousc-in-space project which was the first experiment with taking animals above an altitude of 100 miles. These 1957 flights were the forerunners of America's manned space effort. Mrs. Roennau conceived project MIA when she learned that rocket experiments were using ballast for payloads.

Tl.is meant that when the rockets were tested, they carried weights in place of nuclear warheads. Siie reasoned that this space might just as well be ued to provide data for manned (lights. Thus was born the hitchhiking or back concept in which experiments are put aboard the nose cone of a missile being tested fvr an entirely different purpose. In project MIA, the heartbeats of the mice were measured and telementered back to earth. The animals traveled at speeds of more than 15,000 miles an hour and reached record altitudes of 1,400 miles.

Mrs. Roennau's energy seems boundless. She earned her way thiough the University of California by working as a railroad switch tower operator. For three years, her hours were from midnight to 8 a.m., seven days a week. While attending college, she also worked as a photographic and fashion model; and for a few months she appeared occasionally as a showgirl in several San Francisco productions.

But she stiU managed to graduate with honor in mechanical engineering with an option in aeronautics. Later she won a fellowship to the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. Sweden Despite her space research, her work as a Los Angc'es airport commissioner, and many public speaking engagements, Mrs. Roennau finds time for hobbies ranging from cocking and seviiig to skiing and diving. She also is an avid baseball fan.

She and her hiisha'i-i, works on space engines at Noith American Aviation, enjoy tnuf.it and have a large record eolkit'on.
