Space Station Is . Being Designed

BY LEON DANIEL United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) — The federal space agency is designing a space station that could carry 30 men and stay in orbit up to five years. According to first designs, the station would resemble a huge doughnut with three spokes joined to an inside hub. Astronauts would use the hub to land their space ships and to board again for the return trip back down to earth. The nuclear rocket is considered the next major step in space propulsion; but it is a step the United States is having trouble taking. It now looks as though America’s first nuclear-powered rocket won’t fly until 1968 or later. The reason is that serious troubles have developed in a prototype program called Rover. The Rover series presently is testing several engines at a proving center in Nevada. Scientists had hoped to use the knowledge to build a nuclear rocket by 1967. But new engineering problems and difficulties in finding the right materials are threatening to delay the problem a year or more. A new 85-foot telemetry system has been put in operation on the Atlantic missile range which starts at Cape Canaveral. The big dish is at Palm Bay, Fla.—just south of the missile firing center. A similar antenna will be installed on one of the downrange islands soon. The highly advanced system will be used to track the latest missiles fired into the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Canaveral. The United State? will try to launch Its revolutionary Centaur space rocket from Cape Canaveral sometime this summer—probably in August. The Centaur uses high energy hydrogan fuel, the propellant that will be the key in American efforts to land men on the moon this decade. But the first launching of the new rocket last May failed, and the program has run into troubles. The second flight will be an up-and-down attempt. Its main aim will be to ignite the hydrogenfueled second stage. The Department of Defense is looking for a solid-propellant anti- ] missile missile that will take off) up to 100 times faster than more

conventional solid-fueled rockets. United Technology Center in Sunnyvale, Calif., will study the problem under a six-month contract. Such a booster rocket would generate enough thrust to send a payload several miles up in less than one second. Some scientists think a system of hibernation may be best for astronauts making long trips into space. One such proposal is that the spacemen be put in a state of suspended animation. This would involve bringing down the body temperature and slowing all other life processes such as heartbeat and brain activity. Experts say that in such a condition an astronaut would be able to take the stresses of space flight —including radiation explosure — much better. The problem is that a drug to do the job has yet to be found. But the search for it is under way in U.S. laboratories. When novelist Jules Verne wrote more than a century ago about a voyage to the moon, he proposed using a cannon to provide the power. American scientists recently used a 16 inch cannon to blast a 475-pound capsule of weather instruments 15 miles into the atmosphere. The experiement was conducted in the West Indies. But scientists are not considering cannon propulsion for manned flights into space. The jolt would be too stiff. Auto Smashes Into Restaurant Front BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) —A car driven by a motorist who had suffered a fatal heart attack swerved out of control l and smashed through the front of a restaurant here today. Delmar Halstead, 61, Bloomington, was dead at the wheel before the car struck Benson’s Restaurant on the city's south side and knocked over several tables before it came to a stop with only the rear end outside the building. Halstead had just taken his wife. Ollie, to work at the Bloomington Herald-Telephone and was returning home when the accident happened.

“JERUSALEM,” an hour-long motion picture, will be shown at the First Baptist church at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening. The movie was filmed in. 35mm Eastman color by the same company whose film document of the Billy | Giaham team’s 1960 Africa itinerary, “Africa on the Bridge,” won the American film festival’s golden reel award in the ‘church at work' category. This latest Billy Graham film is scored with music composed and conducted by Ralph Carmichael. Rare photographic courage includes sequences from Solomon’s quarries underneath the city of Jerusalem; Hezekiah’s tunnel, where the water from the Virgin’s spring still flows clear and cold to the pool of Siloam within the city walls; newly excavated areas on the site of Solomon’s and Herod's temples, and what is probably the first production footage of new British diggings below the southeast corner of the city wall, site of the Jebusite village stronghold which David conquered to establish the city. Youth Is Taken To State Boys' School Deputy sheriff Warren Kneuss transported 16-year-old Harold Curtis, Jr., of Decatur, to the Indiana boys’ school at Plainfield this morning. The local youth was sentenced to the school until he reaches the age of 21 last week by Judge Myles F. Parrish. He was sentenced in juvenile court for violation of Ihe probation he had been placed on several months ago. Shatterproofing Bottles If you keep expensive or dangerous liquids in glass bottles or vials, shatterproof the bottles by wrapping them in cellophane tape. Then, if the bottles are broken, the tape holds the fragments together and the contents can be salvaged.

Reports Defection To Soviet Russia MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet government newspaper Izvestia today reported that an Arab-born former employe of the U.S. National Security Agency in Washington has defected to Russia and asked for political asylum. Izvestia said that the former agent for the Americans defected because he was “outraged” by U.S. intelligence activities endangering peace in the Middle East The alleged defector was identified as Viktor Norris Hamilton, born Hindali, who said in an open letter to Izvestia that he was 44, and a graduate of the American University in Beirut. The man, in the letter, said be wds a naturalized American cit|zeh and had worked for the Near East section of the National Security Agency beginning in 1957 but had resigned for reasons of “principle.” Hamilton said in the open letter on Izvestia’s back page that he had married the former Lilly Bell Drake, whom he had met in Benghazi, Libya. Hamilton charged that he was recruited for espionage work by an American colonel, whom he named only as “Maxwell." "Maxwell,” he said, had arranged for his admission to an intelligence school, “Tempo X,” where he was given lessons in cryptography and general intelligence techniques. Since June 1957, the defector said, he was employed by the NSA in Washington at Adminton Hall and later at Ft. Meade, Md.

KENNEDY (Continued from Page 1) essary workers are employed and insist they are required to run trains safely and efficiently. At the heart of the dispute is the railroads” demand for elimination of the jobs of 37,000 firemen they claim are not needed on locomotives except for those in passenger service. The unions have agreed to reduce firemen’s ranks by 5,500 but the railroads contend that strings on this offer would abolish only a few hundred jobs. Governors Seek To Calm Civil Rights Storm MIAMI BEACH (UPD—A move to calm the civil rights storm at the National Governors’ Conference by permitting debate but no voting on the issue appeared set for approval today. Bucking opposition from Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and other Republicans, Democrat Grant Sawyer of Nevada announced he would move to abolish the resolutions committee under which governors now must go on record on issues sometimes “embarrassing" at home. He said he had the votes to win. The showdown came this morning at the 55th annual conference’s first business session. In any event, debate on civil rights was virtually assured. Even with removal of the resolutions process, pjans were made for a civil rights panel discussion Tuesday. The civil rights issue was embroiled in presidential politics, with the names of Rockefeller and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, potential GOP rivals, dominating talk at the conference. Rockefeller, demanding that governors show their responsibility by going on record on issues, said in an opening statement that the real threat to the governors' conference “lies in reducing these meetings to impotence and unimportance.” Although the civil rights dispute was the real issue, today’s test was set up by a proposed rule change to require a unanimous vote for approval of resolutions allowing a single southern governor, for example, to veto a civil rights resolution. The rule in force since 1959 required only a two-thirds vote. Norman H. Bassett Completes Training AMARILLO AFB, Tex. — Airman Third Class Norman H.
