. course toward the United States. The launching site was Cape Canaveral. The missile, a 54-foot minuteman "instant ICBM." And in those eight seconds Wednesday night, the normally dependable Minuteman wrote perhaps the wildest story in the history of this sprawling, 12-year-old missile testing center. Before it was over, the United States was threatened by one of its own missiles, one rocket was destroyed and another damaged, brush fires w ere scattered all over the Cape, windows for miles around were rattled and some broken, and one man was injured while scurrying for safety. And about the only thing the Minuteman proved was that the Air Force has some very good

reasons for the s tringent safety precautions it takes for all ballistic missile tests at Cape Canaveral. After a fairly normal countdown, the three-stage-Minuteman bolted from the bottom of a con-crete-lined launching "silo.” It was supposed to follow a smooth flight of about 3,000 miles as another “routine” test of a missile that often has demonstrated its reliability. The Minuteman left the ranks of the routine and became a fiery 33 - ton juggernaut of potential destruction by one simple action —it changed course. Instead of angling toward the southeast and over the Atlantic Ocean, it bent sharply in the opposite direction. "It looked 1 ike the television picture wa s just exactly backwards,” said one missileman who watches the shots from inside a protected building via closed-cir-cuit television. The missile crossed back over the heart of the 15,000-acre Cape —and headed toward the Florida mainland. The seconds ticked by with electrifying slowness. “Blow it up! Blow it up!” yelled the observer. Still it climbed. A range safety officer with trained precision waited out the long seconds until the Minuteman could gain altitude. He flipped two switches that triggered a radio signal and touched off an explosive package inside the rocket. The Minuteman shattered into hundreds of fiery fragments soaring in huge, sparkling arcs above the Cape, turning night into day, and churning up the sand into gigantic, exploding clouds as they rammed back into the land. Waterproof Cement Litharge and glycerin, mixed together into a smooth, thick paste, will make an excellent waterproof cement for any number of home repair jobs. Allow the cement to harden overnight. This is a good way to replace plastic or bone handles on knives or forks. If you have somexnmg to sell or trade — use the Democrat Wa ads — they get BIG resuits.

Gas Tax Receipts Increase In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Receipts from gasoline and other motor vehicle taxes increased nearly 5 per cent this past quarter over the same period in 1961, State Auditor Dorothy Gardner reported Wednesday. The report showed total receipts for the fund for July through September amounted to $31,124,394 compared with $29,729,616 for the same three months a year ago. For the year ending in September, total receipts were $147,521,750 compared with $141,175,533 one year ago. The report came as the audi-

tor’s office prepared to mail out checks to cities and counties throughout Indiana for their share of the receipts. The individual city figures will be available within a few days. The amount available for distribution will total $28,990,704, which is 6.8 per cent above 1961. This was due primarily to a decrease in expenditures. The State Highway Department will receive 53 per cent of the total, while 32 per cent goes to counties and 15 per cent to cities and towns, under terms of a state law. Mrs. Gardner also said that the alcoholic beverage gallonage tax to be distributed at the same time will be up 26 per cent. Available for the October ABC distribution will be $978,105, compared to $773,326. Two Men Are Killed By Cave-in At Mine CARDIN, Okla. (UPI)—A group of tired but determined miners hoped today to recover the bodies of two of their fellow workers, buried in a zinc mine cave-in 325feet below ground. Rescuers called off their effort for the night, largely because the mine wall was still “spitting” bits of ro ck, endangering the men who were digging. Hope was gone for Bill Wilson, 43, and Jim France, 51, who were caught Wednesday when a rock pillar buckled and the top of a cavern collapsed on them. Another man, Taylor Smith, 48, was reported “holding his own” at a hospital in nearby Miami, Okla. He was buried from the waist down in the cave-in but rescuers scooped him out. Wilson, who had four sons, had told a friend only Saturday that he was looking for another job. He said the mine was not safe. France had planned to drive 100 miles to Tulsa today to see about getting workmen’s compensation from the state of Oklahoma for a leg injury received in a mine accident last spring. Smith received a punctured lung, broken ribs and a crushed leg. Rescuers had to pry a huge rock off his leg with a jack to free him. . Hie accident happened at midmorning at the Veile-Lion mine west of Cardin, a tiny mining town in the northeastern comer of Oklahoma, near Missouri and Kansas.

Nobel Award To American, Two Britons ■o STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI) An American and two British scientists won the 1962 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine today. The Nobel Committee of the Stockholm Caroline Institute gave the $50,043 award to U.S. scientist James Dewey Watson and to British scientists Francis Harry C. Crick and Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins. The three men will share the $50,043 award, which derives from the income of the $9 million trust fund established by Alfred B. Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite. "she committee said the three men were honored for their “discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material.” Watson, 34, lives in Cambridge, Mass. He is a biochemist and educator who has done extensive biological research into bacterial virus, molecular genetics and protein synthesis. He and Crick shared the John Collins Warren Prize of the Massachusetts General Hospital in 1959. Watson, Crick and Wilkins, in addition to now sharing the Nobel Prize, also were jointly awarded the Albert Lasker Award in the United States in 1960. Watson was born in Chicago on April 6, 1928. Crick, 46, has been a scientist at the Medical Research Council unit for mo lecular b iology at Cambridge, England, since 1949. He is an internationally known expert on molecular biology. Wilkins, 46, has been deputy director of the Medical Research Council (biophysics re s e arc h unit) since 1955. He is an internationally known expert on molecular structure of nucleic acids. He took part in the U.S. Manhattan Project as a member of the British Ministry of Supply. The award in the field of physiology or medicine was the first of the five 1962 Nobel prizes, and the naming of the American and British men came as a surprise. Their names had not figured in the pre-award speculation. The five Nobel Prizes are awarded separately. The literature award has been set for Oct. 25, but dates for the other prizes have not been announced. Among the front runners for today’s medicine prize were: —Profs. Horace W. Magoun of the University of California and Carew Eccles, Canberra, Australia, who are both working on nerve cells. —American polio vaccine pioneers Dr. Jonas E. Salk of Pittsburgh and Albert B. Sabin of Cincinnati. —Montreal University scientist Hans Selye, a long - time Nobel candidate for his work on the reactions and countermeasures with which human organs meet different kinds of stress. Others mentioned were Italian researcher Ugo Cerletti, British scientists Andrew F. Uxley, J.C. Kendrew and Alan L. Hodgkin, and German researcher Prof. Wolfgang L. Bargmann. Last year’s winner was Hun-garian-born Dr. George Von Bekesy, a member of the Harvard medical faculty, who received the award for work done 30 years

ago on the mechanism of the Inner ear. - The prize, first awarded in 1901, was instituted by Alfred B. Nobel, who invented dynamite and left most of his $9 million estate to be given to those who gave the most to mankind. The prize is worth 257,219 Swedish kronors, or $50,043.
