1. MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER Thiokol Working On Advanced Unit Minuteman Missile Termed Closest Thing to 'Push-Button War' Weapon Thiokol Chemical whose Longhorn Division is- headquartered in Marshall, has been assigned a. major part in the Air Force's $210,000,000 program to develop "the nearest approach to pushbutton warfare known in the free world." This is brought out in connection with Thiokol's part in development of the Minuteman missile, which "will be more than just a rocket. It will be an entire weapons system." This is revealed in an Associated Press dispatch that quotes The Ogden (Utah) Standard- Examiner, whose managing editor, Jim England, reports on Thiokol's activity at its Brigham City, Utah, plant. TWO MODELS Thiokol's operations here are in connection with its contract at Longhorn Ordnance Works at Karnack.

The Standard-Examiner's report continues: The Minuteman will be a multipurpose missile, developed in two models- a full range intercontinental missile and an intermediate (1,500 mile) missile. It will look considerably different from the Atlas or Titan, which resemble huge bullets. Minuteman will look more like a staged missile," England wrote, "with a large first section, a stepped down second stage and a thinner top stage, which will carry the BETTER RE ENTRY is believed that the slender, long type of nose cone, such as is being used on the current experimental Thor- -Able missile, is more adaptable to re-entry into the atmosphere without danger of burning up.

Ralph Yarborough joined Sen. Herman Talmadge (D-Ga) in protest against refusal of the a House to consider a passed farm bill. "Unless there is farm legisla-1 tion, hundreds of thousands of farm families will be driven off their farms in the cotton and rice growing states of the South," Yarborough told the Senate.

Talmadge said: "If Congress fails to enact new farm legislation before it adjourns, it will precipitate an agricultural crisis which will destroy the cotton economy of the United States." He added that failure to, act would permit Secretary of Agri-0 culture, Benson to cut back cotton allotments to little more than million acres. This would reduce every cotton farmer at least 22 per cent, he added. SENATE Continued From Page 1 that is, the oil and gas under- ground. Senators seeking to cut the allowance said it was an unjustified tax benefit for oil interests. Oil state senators argued the benefit was necessary to keep exploration for new sources at a high rate.

Sen. John J. Williams (R-Del) tried to slash the depletion allowto a flat 15 per cent, but lost ance 63-26. Sen. William Proxmire (D- Wis) then offered an amendment to set up a scale graduated from per cent to.

Tuesday, August 12, 1958 THE NEIGHBORS -By George Clark Radar Proves Top Tornado Warning Several Instances of Many Persons Being Saved by Device Are Recorded By ALTON BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Writer COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (AP) On the darkened radar-scope, the sweeping finger revealed an intense bright cloud moving fast trailing an ominous little hook.

"Tornado!" the radarman shouted, Quickly the radar weather scientists at Texas College charted the twister's direction and speed by radar. It was coming straight toward them, and the adjoining town of Bryan. Bryan's public school would dismiss in a few minutes, at 3 p.m.. Telephones spread the alarm to take cover, to keep the children in school. When the tornado ripped through Bryan at 3:10 p.m.

all the school youngsters were safe in the building rather than on the streets. Only a few townspeople who hadn't heard the warning was injured. EFECTIVE WEAPON This was one of the first successes, in April 1956, of radar as a tornado detective and warner. But it's just one way in which radar is becoming a powerfully useful eye for the weather forecaster and scientist. Radar can also warn of flood dangers and spot litle storms that stop through the network of weather stations.

Radar with a memory can tell how fast clouds and fronts are moving or changing, Radar even promises nearly instant, -minute weather maps to advise jet pilots of miliitary or civilian planes- or maybe guide the Sunday picnicker. One center actively developing weather uses of radar is the Department of Oceanography and Mr. Holley's Rites Held Mr. and Mrs. H.

Contributions to 'Fly-by-Night' Operators Termed Risky Operation Atlas and of considerably less diameter. There- are indications it will not have any guidance fins but will use switching thrust or thrust vanes for stability. "It is expected that the Minuteman can be converted to intermediate range simply by dropoff the third stage and putting a. nose cone on the second stage. "The Minuteman will be solid-propellant missile fired from underground launching sites.

PRE-AIMED DEVICE "The Minuteman will be aimed at a specific target, up to 6,000 or so miles away, then on the shelf' so to speak. until an overt. act by an enemy makes it necessary to fire. "It is designed for a maximum range of 6,325 ground miles--a distance that would allow U.S. forces to aim at and destroy any target in the world.

It would etiminate the need for setting up missile sites in foriegn lands. "A 'servicing system' developed for the Bomarc also will be a adapted for the Minuteman. Special trucks will be built, with various types of electronic gear provided. An operator will visit each Minuteman site periodical: ly, plug in his test equipment and make a- check. If no malfunction is found, the missile will, remain in its chamber.

If something checks out 'red' the Minuteman will be removed, replaced with a fresh weapon and the defective missile sent to a repair center. "It is expected the Minuteman will be considerably less costly than the complicated Atlas and Titan liquid fuel el missiles now being tested. The Minuteman will require about four years to develop as operational, but should be ready for testing somewhat, sooner."

Train Tower Man Cleared STERLINGTON, N.Y, (AP)-A towerman who admitted forgetting to stop one of two Erie passenger trains that collided yesterday has been cleared of any culoable negligence. Five persons died and 36 were injured the head-on crash. Rock, N.J., was cleared in his Towerman Fred Roth, 38, Glen mitted lapse of memory by Rockland County Coroner R. J. Moses.

However, Dist. Atty. John F. Skahen requested county officials to continue their investigation. Roth said under oath that he had been ordered to stop the westbound train while an eastbound train bypassed a freight.

The train which was to have been held at Suffern, N.Y., four miles east of here, went through Roth's. tower without receiving a signal to stop. "I forgot it," he said. Later, Roth said, he tried to warn the train by radio but received no answer. A freight train, Roth said, heard the call answered before the crash.

Meteorology under Dr. Dale F. Leipper at Texas Radar, of course, is invisible radio waves which bounce or echo back from a target or object. Spe. cia, radar can be tuned to see clouds, or even raindrops.

Rain clouds can be seen andtracked huncreds of iniles -way. Their changing shapes and motions give vital information. For easier, more accurate charting of cloud changes and weather fronts, Dr. George L. Huebner Jr.

has developed radar with a memory. It works' this way: The radarscope picture at any given moment can be recorded in a memory tuoe. Ten to 30 minutes later it is superimposed on the screen which shows clouds as they exist at this moment. The remembered picture is' superimposed in red light over green. Overlapping areas become yellow and show in what ways and over what distances the clouds or fronts changed in that time.

ONE POSSIBILITY One possibility for the future was outlined by Dr. Myron G. H. Ligda, who after several years of research here has just become head of the Radar Aerophysics Group at Stanford Research Institute to conduct applied research in radar meteorology. This is nearly instant maps, taken from neworks of radars, showing the pattern of storms and how they are evolving.

A regular weather map takes one to two hours to prepare. By using modern techniques of transmission and printing or reproduction, the picture of weather over a huge area might be put into the hands of a forecaster within 14 to 20 minutes, Dr. Ligda says. He could then quickly prepare a very accurate forecast for the next few hours. Foreign Trade Bill Praised WASHINGTON (AP) Compromise legislation to extend the reciprocal trade program for four years was ready today for President Eisenhower's signature.

Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks called the bill "the best The program, started 24 years ago, permits the United States to negotiate agreements to cut tariffs on imports In return for similar concessions from other nations on American goods they admit. As finally passed by the Senate Monday 72-18, the compromise comes pretty close to what the President wanted. Its central are these: The program will be extended four years, a longer extension perliod than ever before. Eisenhower asked five- years. The measure gives the President authority to cut tariffs up to 20 per cent.

Eisenhower asked 25 per cent. In one key provision, Congress is given the power to override, by a two-thirds vote, a presidential decision to reject a Tariff Commission recommendation" for import quotas or higher duties intended to protect a home industry. Up to now, the President has been free to act on such recommendations without any congress sional The administration did not fight this provision in the bill, presumably on the theory that a twothirds vote usually is hard to muster.
