On TV Show By DON CANGE

Televiewers across the nation will get a firing line look at the Army's missile might when this Rocket Range puts on its own "greatest show on earth" in a live video spectacular Sunday.

The history-making TV show will catch five different Army missiles swooshing dramatically into the sky one after the other within the brief span of 20 minutes.

The missile show will be part of the "Wide, Wide World" presentation to be seen in this area beginning at 2 p.m. over National Broadcasting Company channels.

Crewmen from NBC stations in the area and from the East Coast began moving in to the proving ground at midweek with truck loads of equipment to set up for the on-the-spot program.

* * * Scheduled for launching are the following surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles:

Nike Ajax, the Army's first supersonic antiaircraft guided missile employed to defend American cities against aerial attack.

Little John, a ballistic surface-tosurface missile of the Honest John family designed to provide antipersonnel saturation fire for close support of a front line airborne infantry division.

Honest John, the big brother of the Little John and the Army's first surface-to-surface unguided rocket used as a long range artillery weapon to give close support of front line operations.

Dart, a relatively tiny guided missile designed to destroy enemy armor, especially tanks.

Corporal, the Army's giant surface-to-surface ground-controlled long range guided missile designed for firing at distant ground targets.

* * * The proving ground pickup will mark the first time in television history that such an array of missiles will be launched in a "live" program in such a short time span.

"Wide, Wide World" spurns canned film in favor of on-the-scene pickups of action as it happens.

The proving ground section of the Sunday show will be only one of several segments to be picked up from points around the nation The other portions of the show will be unrelated to the local pickup.

The speeded-ti.p firing schedule will create ~ myriad of technical details which are being solved by the NBC technicians who will photograph the show and the team of White Sands technicians who will fire and track the missiles.

All the missiles set off will be scheduled test firings.

* * * A temporary microwave circuit will be set up from the proving ground to El Paso to relay the proving ground pickup into the El Paso cable which is hooked up to the Los Angeles cable to feed into the transcontinental circuit.

The voice of Dave Garraway, the Sunday show's regular narrator, and the musical background will be blended into the proving ground pickup when it is zipped from the west coast to the NBC New York studios before going out to the tele-


Nina Varela Leading Contestants

Combined Charity Campaign donations began trickling in this week with $798 in the pot at midweek with the promise of much more to come.

Holding the lead in the "Miss White Sands of 1957" beauty contest is Miss Nina Varela, contestant from the post Comptroller Office.

The drive winds up its second week today with the first full-scale turn in of contributions due in the office of Capt. Glen Clute by noon for tabulation so the complete official total will be available for publication in Monday's Daily Bulletin.

* * * Capt. Clute, custodian of funds· for the 1957 campaign, said there is still "much money" to be turned in which will boost the total by several hundred dollars.

Meanwhile, in the beauty contest only five of the 30 contestants have received votes in the initial turnins. However, Capt. Clute pointed out that the other contestants have received votes, but their divisions had not turned in their ticket stubs by midweek.

Miss Varela, who was leading in the contest at midweek, is followed by Miss Eva Louise Copeland, of General Staff, second place, and Miss Naomi Yarbrough, of Transportation, third place. More than 600 votes were counted in the first turn-ins.

The beauty contest, which is being held in conjunction with the campaign for funds in an attempt to spur donations, will end at midnight April 1 with a panel of judges .<Plecting the winner on April 5 in Post Theater from a slate of finalists.

* * * Winner of the contest will be escorted to the Truth or Consequences Fiesta in April, by some lucky proving ground military enlisted man who wins in the GI popularity contest to be conducted next month.

HIGH AND MIGHTY - Leaping from a bed of flames is the migh:l:y Nike Hercules, the Army's newest an:l:iaircraf:I: guided missile now undergoing final :tests at White Sands Proving Ground. The Hercules is bigger and better in every way than its liUle brother. the Nike Ajax.

Hammond Leaving Talos Missile Project When Capt. Victor W. Hammond,

USAF, leaves White Sands Proving Ground Saturday, the departure will mark another milestone in the turbulent history of Intercept Missile-70-better known to the readers of headlines Uu·oughout the nation as the Land-Based Talos.

Capt. Hammond has been project officer for the Talos weapon system since September 1956. His new assignment to Headquarters Air Research and Development Command in Baltimore, paves the

The Army Tuesday dropped the wraps from its newest supersonic and deadly accurate antiaircraft guided missile, Nike Hercules.

The new missile- with many times the destructive power of the Nike Ajax-is now undergoing final tests at White Sands Proving Ground.

Known as Nike Bin its development stages, Nike Hercules is faster and has greater range than its little brother, Nike Ajax, which has guarded large cities and strategic areas of the nation for the past three years.

The Department of Army plans for its new surface-to-air missile to be included in the Nike operational batteries around the country in the relatively near future which means that the two Nike systems will be used side by side.

* * * Although longer and heavier and more than double the diameter of the Ajax, the Hercules will have extreme maneuverability at altitudes far in excess of those capable of being reached by the Ajax.

The higher velocity of the Herules will pennit swifter interception of the most advanced type of aircr&ft in production today. And the new missile's increased destructive power will make Hercules one of the most effective weapons in America's defense arsenal.

Both Ajax and Hercules can be fired with the same system. The missiles are propelled into the sky from a mobile launcher.

Certain modifications in existing ground control equipment will make it possible for the Hercules to be integrated in existing Nike batteries throughout the nation. The equipment changes will also add to the effectiveness of the Ajax.

* * * The Hercules will provide dQ-fended areas with a far greater degree of antiaircraft protection than was ever before possible with the more limited ranges and altitudes ot conventional antiaircraft guns.

Under development for almost four years, the Hercules has undergone test firings only at this proving ground with airborne targets employed. Initial firings began here in January 1955.

Both the Ajax and Hercules can operate effectively regardless of weather conditions and visibility. If necessary, the entire Nike system can be transported by air.

.. way for appointment of an Army project officer, in preparation for the Army's official acceptance of Talos as an Army weapon under the recent directive of Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson.

At White Sands Proving Ground, the so-called "feud" was only so many snowflakes on the desertthe Army, Navy and Air Force pushed the program in full cooperation. The Air Force provided the money for development of the Land-Based Talos system; development was done by the Navy -Bureau of Ordnance, Applied Physics Laboratory, John Hopkins University and Radio Corp. of An;l.erica. The Army supplied the vast testing range of White Sands and the full services of its Integrated Range Mission.

The Navy's evaluation of the Talos system, using the range and facilities of this Army testing center, is still scheduled for completion in 1957-but the eventual user to which it will be turned over upon completion, as things stand at this writing, will be the Army and not the Air Force.

Mardi Gras Dance Set At EM Club

MISS NINA VARELA

An Air Force officer, stationed for duty purposes at WSPG, an Army installation, Capt. Hammond had one of the most complicated assignments in the missile business -working as Navy project officer on a Navy program that was to have been picked up by the Air Force but now will become a part of the Army's antiaircraft missile program. In his new post, he will work with the Test Instrumentation Branch of the Baltimore headquarters of Air Force research.

The Talos got mixed up in the headlines more than a year ago when a congressional committee argued publicly the merits of that missile against the Army's Nike.

CWO James L. Manstlne, secre-tary of the Officer's Open Mess, was supervisor for wedding decorations. He designed and made the five-tierd wedding cake which was decorated with pink-tinted swans and rose buds and topped with figurines of the bride and groom flanked by four swans and standing under a canopy of wedding cells.

The Rocket Room and dining hall of the Open Mess were decorated in ,the green and white motif with large sprays of ~roodwardia interspersed with the white chrysanthemums adorning the entrance doors to the club and the two reception rooms. Silver candelabra with white candles burned atop the mantel of the fireplace before which the rereiving line was set up.

Green roping of Woodwardia encircled the posts within the reception rooms. The bridal table was laid with white linen cloth and centered with the wedding cake which was set in a spray of the wedding flowers.

Champagne punch was served from two silver bowls which were placed at the ends of a long serving table to flank several silver trays spread with a variety of hors <l'oeuvres.

* * * M/Sgt. Arthur D. Dodds, who has served in every grade and rank from private to lieutenant colonel, recently celebrated his 40th anniversary-the 40th anniversary of his first enlistment in the Army.

He enlisted at San Francisco on Feb. 16, 1917, at the age of 18. Born at Dawson, N. D., he was graduated from Dawson High School in 1915 and attended the University of North Dakota for a year and a half before going to San Francisco.

M/Sgt. Dodds has been administrative assistant to the deputy commander for support, Col. Howard Coleman, since his arrival at WSPG on June 29, 1955.

In World War II, he served as an ordnance officer with the U. S. Army Air Force. Following that war he served for several months with the famed Philippine Scouts, experts in jungle warfare and guerrilla tactics.

During the period of the Korean War, by then a liel.ltenant colonel, Dodds served with the Anny Ordnance Corps in the U. S. and Europe, first as a post ordnance officer and then as a battalion comman-der.

Our generation, which is no longer startled at the marvelous achievements of science, would do well lo remind itself that the seicnlist is no superman but merely an instrument through which an omni;.;cient God releases the secrets of His universe which he crratcd an ~till controls. In no sense is God be regarded as a prisoner in universe but as the mind who co -~eivcd it and guides it to purposeful ends.

God also has moral laws, for we live in a moral universe. The penalty for their violation may not be as prompt as for the transgression 0f the natural laws of the universe, but it is just as sure. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowcth, that -:hall he also reap.

SCOUTING the

TREFOIL TRAIL We are izlad our friend, Mrs. B.

R. Luczak, is feeling better and I'm sure all Scouts will enjoy the message from her which follows:

"22 February, 1957-My dearest young Scout Friends, As our World Friendship Month is drawing to a close, I am joining you in this T,tJinking Day today, in a very per-o ay. You have been thinking f e girls around the world who

share your dreams of the worthwhile purposes of womanhood. Through Scouting you stand united in your devotion, premise and way of reac})ing this inspired goal-you stand shoulder to shoulder with young women of every creed, color, and nation. And as you cross yoUl arms in the Friendship Circle, yoUI hands slip warmly into your neighbor's so that in reality today you stand in a ring of friendship which

ses oceans, continents and all 'curtains' that mankind can de

-·\ise-to unite Scouts around th< ·world in one solid circle of mutual respect and understanding of our fellow man.

''To me, on th;s Thinking Day YV ccScouts and Brownies here a \\der. · Sands are very representative of this World Friendship Cil'cle For surely, you have come hen from all parts of the wor Id, and a! I think of you today, I see yoi.: learning the Scout laws-and wha1 is more important, living than individually in your everyday lives; J see you practicing your Promise

1 to 'do your duty to God and your

lT.-0untry and to help others,' and in all this I watch you become living testaments to your motto, 'Be Pre"J.n.>:ed.' And suddenly, I wish every"M could feel as reassured as I de

h>r the future of our world and mankind for it-the future-will be molded by your well-trained hands, and mankind itself tomorrow will be guided-gently, but firmly as only a mother can guide her children-by the faith, courage and ideals you are forming today through Scouting. Your moral and spiritual influence is one of the brightest hopes our poor old ailing world has.

"Thank you for the many cards and wonderful messages you have sent- such kind and thoughtful expressions of your friendship. I am indeed most fortunate to be

v.friends with girls such· as you and those who lead you! God bless you every one. Devotedly, Rosemary Luczak."

* * * Brownie Troop 21 had its Valen

tine party Feb. 13, at which they played six games, all of which sound like a lot of fun. In one game, the Leader put the picture of a famous person in her shoe, and the girl next had to act out the person and the other girl had to guess who it was. Next was the game of exchanging life-savers on a straw, then feeding a partner a cup of popcorn while blind folded. The next game was also a blindfold game, in which the Brownies all put their shoes into a box and had to pick them out by the shape. Then the troop pitched chips into an egg carton, the chips l:mding in th€ middle making the most points. For

'\_the last game, they each picked a petter of the alphabet and wrote a story, article or poem using the letter.

* * * During its Feb. 20 meeting, Troop 21 elected a new reporter, Barbara Callaway, who also wrote up thr

,&"rive report of the Valentine party. ' ·~r the business meeting, thr

01ownies wrote letters for Thinking Day. Then they demonstrate<' the Jaws, and enjoyed hearing Cindy Winfrey read the story of "Daisy Low." Leader is Mrs. W. A. Wilson.

Six of th€ Brownies were in charge of the games-Arlene George's game was called, "Rotten Egg," then Den< McBride conducted a fast game of unwrapping a stick of gum with gloves on and chewing it, three of the girls had games appropriate tQ'il~aletine's Day- Jon Gerault'f c ' heart game, Linda Swiesford's Heart Treasure Hunt and the "Pin the Heart in the Middle" game

Mrs. J . R. McBride is the leader.

While the cooks were cooking, the other girls went on a treasure hunt, following trail signs. Then the cooks had a treasure hunt, too. The treasure was gum. Then we all sat down to supper.

D Mountaineers Rescue hzjured Interesting Eye Opener

(IEO)

Sports Orderly By Pfc ALEX LOOPER

Baseball on the post faces a serious problem this season.

With only a little more than 30 days remaining before the Rocket diamond nine is scheduled to play their season opener, we have yet to select a coach, or a team.

Last year's coach, M/Sgt. Russell Gearou, has said that he will not be able to serve in the post that he has held the past four seasons, due to the demands of his duties as first sergeant of Det. 2, U. S. Army Garrison, and his obligations to his family.

In an attempt to whlp a team together and in playing condition by the fast approaching opener, Post Athletic Director Mike Prokopiak is currently on the look for an expE>rienced coach to head the team

Army and Navy EM Bowling League

and nine confident ball hawks to man the field.

Any playns interested in donning the Crimson and White of WSPG are asked to contact the Special Services Office, or Prokopiak at the W. L. Bell Gym.

The influx of new personnel is expected to produce some capable ball players, and newcomers arc encouraged to try out for the team with no fear of the starting slots being already"sewed-up."

Of last year's squad there are only two men remaining on post. Therefore this season's aggregation will be fo1med almost entirely of new talent.

Players and coach aspirants are encouraged to act with the greatest o! haste, for "time's a-wastin'."

"See you on the diamond."

Farewell to SP3 Paul Lasewicz, who is leaving this week for Ft. Bliss, whe.re he will be separated from military service. Paul was assigned as an aircraft mechanic with the Army Aviation Field Mainterfance Shop. His home is in Massachusetts, but he plans to settle in Indiana. Best of luck to you and your wife in your future endeavors, Paul ... Farewell also to SP2 Cletus P. Roth of the Recovery Branch, who will be separated from service in the near future. Roth is a recovery technician in the Recovery Branch and hails from South Dakota. The branch also bids "adios" to Pfc. Ronald Ellis who is leaving for a PCS at Fort Eustis, Va. Ellis was working as a Re<Xlvery Crewman with the Branch.

Information was received from national headquarters of a mem- . bership contest which_ is in pro- I < gress. A system of points for new ' and renewal members will show progress made by chapters, and will show which chapter makes the largest gain.

In keeping with the reorganization the band can: Play as a 68-piec~ group; break down into two ccmplete units, a 34-piece military band and a 34-picce field music unit, which in turn can be split in half to form two 17-piece field music units; furnish two 15-piece dance orchestras; play as a 40-piece concert band; divide into a number of small combos; and produce two complete variety shows.

You can build up a retirement fund for yourself with the handy Payroll Savings Plan for purchasing U. S. Savings Bonds . •

While we're on the subject of memberships, it may be well to list a few of the laws that have had ROA support or sponsorship. In 1924, one of the first pieces of legislation was increased Reserve Appropriations. This provided active duly for 26,000 reserve officers. The Fifteen Cruiser Program in 1932, was a support of the Naval Reserve. Also in that year, a law was enacted providing for additional inactive duty flying time. These three bills show that ROA was working for all three services long before they actually merged in today's ROA.

In 1942, the Pay Readjustment Act was passed. This Jaw provided longevity for reserve service and also gave $250 to newly-commissioned officers as a' uniform allow-ance.

* * * Other accomplishments during the past few years include promotion by law, reserve training pay, disability retirement, reserve retirement, Reserve Officer Personnel Act, travel pay, readjustment pay, and survivors benf'fits.

These are just a few of the bills supported by ROA. In some instances, the bills were initiated by ROA, in others they were supported.

In the current controversy over the six months' active duty program and its relationship to all services, ROA reaffirms its belief in the soundness of the Reserve Forces Act of 1955 and believes that the experience ;ince its implementation has proved that six months is the minimum period of training neces

. sary for the development of an ad-equately trained and combat-ready reserve forces.

Col. Roger L. Zeller, national president, will present these views before Hou~e legislators.

The temporary circuit will be the longest one that "Wide, Wide World" has constructed for any of its shows. The circuit will be equivalent to the number of telephone lines it would take to operate 450 home telephones simulataneously.

Ten cameras will be used to photograph the show.

* * * Charles Jones, NBC network director for the show, said the cameras will be set up to give televiewers a chance to see angles of missiles never before shown to the public.

A camera will be hung above one surface-to-surface missile to show it rising into the air while another camera will be set up behind an impact point to catch a head-on shot of the mi~ile in flight.

Some 40 NBC technicians, augmented by proving ground personnel, will pilot operations for the show.

Appearing on the program will be Dr. Wehrner von Braun, internationally-known scientist from Redstone Arsenal, and Lt. Col. James P. Hami'l, chief of Ordnance Mission at WSPG.

Herb Sussan, the producer of the show, will be assisted by Eugene Jones, assistant producer; Cliff Paul, technical supervisor; Joseph Liss, writer; Stewart McGregory, unit manager, in addition to Charles Jones.

Americans ate an average of about four gallons of ice cream apiece last year.

If It's Jewelry-

C. A. OLSON IS GOOD JEWELRY ALWAYS EXPENSIVE?

If you have the mistaken idea that good jewelry must necess2rily be very costly, please get that idea out of your head right now.

Sure, you can pay as much as $500.00 for a man's or a woman's watch if you wish to get something in the millionaire class. And it will be a watch to be proud of, of course. But you ran also get a very good man's or woman's watch for as little as

$27.50-and it too will do every thing that the expensive watch docs.

Jewelry man u fact u re rs, through the years, have come to know that most people can't afford $500 watches. So they have been ingenius in producing excellent things of smart design and enduring character that the average person, like you and me, can afford and enjoy_

In our store we feature quality jewelry at reasonable prices. It comes from some of the oldest and best manufacturers and silversmiths in America and Europe. It makes people happy, serves faithfully and is worth every cent you pay for it.

Too, we feature easy credit terms. These, also, are for average good folks who want fine things but prefer to pay for them over a period of time. Won't you make our store your headquarters for jewelry of all kinds? Come in today.
