Nickerson. Nickerson was the officer at the Army Ballistic Missile A Agency, Huntsville, convicted by a court martial on charges that he sent unauthorized persons documents containing secret me material. The charges grew out of his oneman campaign against limiting Army missile activity. At Knoxville, last week Ray Jenkins, Nickerson's counsel at the court-martial, said the defense department order assigning the Army to a place in the satellite field was "complete vindication" for Col. Nickerson.

The Army also been allowed to continue testing Jupiter missile, for which Nickerson fought. A check with the Army headquarters at Washington today indicated that there is no move now contemplated to soften the punishment meted out to Nickerson. So far as can be determined, he is to continue the assignmentas an "inspector of engineering facilities" in the Panama Canal Zone. The Army ordered him there last August. In doing that, it also cut him off from any connection with the work he had been doing.

It was ordered that he must have an assignment "not associated with guided missiles or and development in any researand that he have access to nothing but the lowest form of classified material, "confidential." In addition, he was relieved of holding any command position PRESTONE SET Youre SAFE SURE BOIL AWAY WILL NOT FOAM DOES PREVENTS NOT RUST CLOGGING, CORROSIVE DEALERS! Service Stations! Fleet Owners!

The Army said that job was to "coordinate the development of information between the military services on missiles programs."

(P) The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory says not a single observation report on the Russian satellites has ever been received from any branch of the U. S. armed forces.

Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of the observatory, said here that reports from the Army, Navy or Air Force would be most welcome. Smithsonian officials said several days ago they would like observations reported from warning stations in the far north or from distant airplanes or ships in the north Atlantic. The last report of Sputnik II sighting received by Smithsonian officials was one from Sydney, Australia, last Saturday.

At present, Russia's Sputnik I ing Sputnik II cannot and its rocket and the dog carry. the United States because they are crossing either during the daylight hours or when it is dark. The best times for viewing the satellites are when they reflect the sun just before dawn or sunset. Dr. Whipple said that despite the dearth of visual observation reports he is certain that Sputnik I and II still are orbiting the earth.

Stevenson Sees Space Satellite As A Grim Sign NEW YORK (P--Adlai E. Stevenson says the Russian earth satellites are a sign that mankind has to choose "either extinction or the human brotherhood that has been the vision of visionaries since the beginning of time." The twice-defeated Democratic candidate for president said that science has forced humanity "to a crossroad from which there is no turning back, no escape and just one road that leads Stevenson told the National Conference of Christians and Jews that he was disturbed that the fist space satellite.

"Yet I know," he added, "as citizen of the world and as a member of tomorrow, that the basic issue is no longer the supremacy of nations. It is the man for good or for evil, for survival or Stevenson's remarks were part of a dinner speech at the end which he conferred the organization's Pioneer in Brotherhood Medal on Albert M. Greenfield, Philadelphia philatropist and department store executive. In the course of his speech Stevenson declared: "I deny that human fulfillment cannot keep pace with material advance. We know and must insist rather that what was heralded by the splitting of the atom, what is now proclaimed by the earth satellite, is nothing narrower than man's complete genius not to exterminate himself but to control himself.

"What the 'bleep-bleep' (sic) is saying is that now the world has no option, that it must turn from narrow nationalism, sectarianism, racialism, that the only conceivable relationship among men is one based on men's full respect -yes, their love, if you pleasefor each other." Texan Elected SNPA President BOCA RATON, Fla. (P)-Millard Cope, president and publisher of the Marshall (Tex.) News-Messenger, was elected president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Assn. today.

(A) The United Daughters of the Confederacy have cited Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama divisions for their work in education. Recognition of the divisions' efforts was made by Mrs.

Fortin, 46, said she has volunteered in a telegram to the Soviet Embassy in London to go up in an artificial satellite. Her husband. 56, told a reporter he would go along because, "We've been happily married for 21 years and I don't want to be separated now." Mrs. Fortin said she was undeterred by the probability that once aloft she and her husband might be unable to return to earth. "Space is a much safer place than down below these days," she said.

MOBILE (-Alabama Baptists, after giving their blessing to the establishment of a junior college, today heard a talk by the president of the largest Baptist school in the South. Dr. W. R. White of Baylor University, Waco, discussed "World Missions Through Christian Education." The junior college would be located in Mobile under the charter of Howard College, Birmingham, one of the convention's two schools.

The other is Judson at Marion. In endorsing the proposal yesterday, the convention instructed a nine-man committee to explore the idea further a and report back to the convention, probably next year. The committee is composed of three Howard trustees; three ministers from the state at large, and three Mobilians. It was the first definite action the convention has taken on the establishment of a school here, although the idea had been kicked around for several years. Two hundred acres northwest of the city have been donated for a site.

Mobile would probably be asked to raise two million dollars toward initial construction. More than 100 ministers last night pledged themselves to renewed personal Evangelism in 1958. This was done after Dr. C.E. Autrey, Ft.

Worth, associate director of Evangelism for the Southern Baptist Convention, appealed for "more soulwinners." Alabama's goal for Baptists next year is 35,000. The convention also gave Howard College a go-ahead to approach individual Baptists for He $300,000 toward a $750,000 relito gious education and chapel ing at the school's new campus. a ENTERPRISE CHIEF Young Henry Caylor, acting police chief at Enterprise, looks over the files in his office. Arrests of are secondary, Caylor said, courtesy to the public is first. (Eagle Photo) of PARKER'S FRIEND Courtesy Of Chief In Enterprise Pays By DON LAKEY ENTERPRISE The sound of a "beep, beep" motorcycle horn or the slight increase of engine revolutions just around the corner is the introduction citizens of Enterprise get from their new acting police chief, Henry B.

Caylor. It's simply one of his courtesy tactics. He still checks parking meters as part of his job and the motorcycle horn and engine "tells" vehicle owners in the next block that he's making the rounds. Grateful misers can be seen running from stores where they were chatting to make their deposit in the meter. Of course, if they fail to make the deposit, then their vehicle gets a ticket.

Caylor is the leader of the eight man police department recognized for their courtesy. That is one of the reasons Caylor, at 30, is chief. He succeeded the late Thais Ellis, who served the city just as diligently until his death several weeks ago. Caylor started his law enforcement career under Ellis in 1953. Three years later he was promoted to night captain.

Before joining the department, he served in the Navy during World War II, most of the time aboard a battleship in the South Pacific. After his discharge, he worked for the Sessions Company in Enterprise four years. A native of Coffee County, he is a son of Mrs. Ruth Caylor. During his time as a policeman, he set a record for the department.

That was the night he noticed the rear end of a 1956 sedan sagging as it bypassed the main portion of the city. Moments later, he had the driver under arrest and 50 gallons of untaxed liquor transferred to the station. It was reportedly the biggest liquor haul ever made in the department. Caylor studies all phases of public safety under the titie of law enforcement. However, he will readily admit, he's more concerned with assisting in youth programs.

In fact, he's already laid down commandments" for bicycle and motor scooter safety in the city. His interest in the youth program is sparked by his wife, the former Nellie Ruth Whigham of Enterprise and their two sons, John 9, and Mitchell 6. As evidenced by the approximate 35 arrests made each week, the police does exactly what the name implies, but they also concentrate on "preventive" crime measures. Both Caylor and his men keep their qualifications high. All have attended police school and they're active in firing range qualifications and other functions.
