and plunges its theoretical hydrogen

warhead precisely on target. The Snark

is a cruise missile rather than a ballistic

missile, such as the Atlas, which blasts

hundreds of miles into space and follows

a bullet like trajectory. A cruise missile is

different in that it depends upon its wings

and can be flown within the earth’s

atmosphere. It performs much like a jet fighter in speed and altitude.

In a radio panel discussion - Sen. John Butler (R-Maryland) says the U.S. should

shoot down Russia’s satellites as soon as they are launched. “I would like to see

our armed forces shoot down Sputnik II. I think it is possible for accomplishment.

come to that some day, and it’s not too far off.”

house in the San Francisco area - where the Giants will begin

playing next season. He was having trouble finding a place

because of his color. Pressure from neighbors had kept the

previous owner of a 3-bedroom home from accepting the

Negro star’s $37,500 bid. The home for Mays and his wife will

be located by St Francis Wood, an exclusive residential

community. Mays said that he also had been rebuffed in his bid to buy another

house five blocks away. After the deal went through - Mays exclaimed, “That’s

wonderful! I’m glad it’s all over.” His wife Marguerite said “I feel very relieved. We

wanted to live in San Francisco.” If the deal didn’t go through, the Mays’ were set

to keep their New York home and stay out west during the baseball season.

are traded from the Kansas City Athletics to the Detroit

Tigers in exchange for three regulars. Martin wasn’t too

pleased: “They just can’t throw us players around from one

club to another without us having a say-so. I don’t have any

argument with Detroit. My argument is with the Kansas City

Athletics. I am a tool of this great machine of baseball. I

want to get something out of it.”

would judge her as an actress and leave her

private life alone. The actress is a twice-married

mother of four - three of the children are by Italian

Director Roberto Rossellini and one is by her first

and I do feel that I have some right to privacy.

separated last week. She’s in the middle of shooting the movie “Indiscreet” with

Cary Grant as costar.

Writers Association says “We will be on the moon within 10

movement in history (into space). We have been planning it for

the last billion years. We will want to colonize the planets in our

solar system, then go out to other star systems.”

Townsend Harris Story” - a small ship with 50 gallons of

kerosene is set afire for a dramatic scene, but the blazing boat

drifted to fishing vessels nearby, scorching three of them and

threatening the whole fleet. Led by Wayne, the filmmakers

hurried to fend off the flaming mass and swimmers pushed it to

mid-channel. By then, Japanese fisherman were shouting in anger, punching

Japanese crewmembers. Director John Huston ordered his crew to pack-up and

get out. He assured the fisherman they would be compensated for any damage.

This week in the Saturday Evening Post - an interview with Mike Wallace. “Mike

Wallace has made his reputation by getting celebrities on his TV interview show -

then making them squirm with pointed, intimate questions! Now the tables have

been turned, and in this week’s Saturday Evening Post, one of his former victims,

Peter Martin, asks the questions - with some answers coming from Wallace that

no one will want to miss!”

Richard Fichter - a bearded farm worker, sneaks in front of a television camera

Russians have gotten a step ahead of you and you are trying to catch up ...”

A new advancement in wide-screen film is demonstrated in

projection as spectators saw test clips made

from an automobile in San Francisco, a fire

truck in Philadelphia and the deck of a

plunging submarine. “Cinemiracle” was

thrown onto a curved screen 63 feet wide

and 24 feet high in an approximate 2.40 to 1

ratio. Visual field 146 to 55 deg. Like

Cinerama, the process requires three

cameras and three projectors, with the

significant difference being - the new effect

is done with mirrors. A center camera

records the center-picture panel directly

through the lens. Two side cameras, each

set at an angle, photograph the left and

right-handed scenes as they are reflected in adjustable mirrors.
