'Never Been
Influenced'
Soys Mack
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (IP)—
Richard A. Mack denied under a
barrage of questions today that
he has been influenced by any
body in his 2% years on the Fed
eral Communications .Commission.
Mack emerged smiling but ob
viously tired from a day-long ses
sion before the House Legislative
Oversight subcommittee standing
firm on a determination not to re
sign under fire.
“Of course not” was his reply]
to questions about the possibility i
of his quitting. The question fol
lowed in the wake of testimony
linking him financially with a Mi
ami lawyer who for a time backed
the successful bid of a National
Airlines subsidiary for a Miami
JTV-license.
• Mack did say on "the witness
stand, however, that for all prac
tical purposes he had put his fi-.
nances completely in the hands
of the attorney and his lifelong
friend, Thurman A. Whiteside.
The commissioner said he had
only the haziest knowledge of
how more than $lO,OOO in loans
and advances made to him by
"Whiteside in recent years were
repaid. ’
And he, testified he knew little
or nothing about a Miami insur
ance agency in which Whiteside
gave* him a one-sixth interest, or
about a holding" company which
the Miami lawyer likewise turned
over to him—with no outlay of
money on Mack’s part in either
case.
Army Tests Redstone Missile;
Vanguard Launching Postponed
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Feb. 27 (#}-An Army Red
stone missile streaked upward for more than two minutes
today, vanishing after a-puff of white smoke as a silver
pin-prick in the blue Florida sky.
. The 200-mile-range missile,
aimed at a preselected impact
area down the Atlantic Ocean
Tange, was launched at 3 p.m.,
after standing all night in the
rain and wind.
The same wind and rain had
forced postponement of the firing
of the more - delicate Vanguard
satellite launcher until next week.
It was not announced whether
the Bedstone had hit its target
area.
The Redstone is in produc
tion and in the hands of U.S.
■ Army troops. A modified Bed
stone forms the first stage of
the satellite-launching Jupiter -
C vehicle.

MOSCOW, Feb. 27 (#)— I Thej

Then orange-yellow flame shot]

needle.
The Redstone arched slightly
toward the southwest trailing a
long expanding cloud of vapor

after the vapor suddenly dis
appeared, the Redstone belched
another short tail of smoke.
From a vantage point six miles]

then the slow traveling sound'
caught up and grew like a distant
roll of thunder.
