Command weapon system sched

The missile is 43 feet long and
about five feet thick. It has a nu
clear warhead. rDescribed bv the
manufacturer as a “superelusive
miniature supersonic airplane,” it
has a stubby wing and rudder.
It has a range reportedly of
more than 500 miles. It is guided
by a self-contained inertial guid

The missiles are hung beneath
the jet bomber.
3 Specialists
WASHINGTON UP) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles’ doc
tors called in three more special
ists yesterday in the hope of de
fining and containing his abdom
inal cancer.
From the White House came in
direct word that Dulles will con
tinue as secretary of state at least
for several weeks. The decision
apparently was left up to Dulles.
President Eisenhower was de
scribed by Rep, Charles A. Hal
leek (R-Ind) as feeling that as
long as .Dulles is able and wants
to carry on, the President will
avail himself of his services.
Two of .the three specialists
called in are surgeons who at
tended Eisenhower when he was
'operated on for ileitis in 1956 —
Dr. I. S. Ravdin, professor of sur
gery at the University of Penn
sylvania Medical School, and Dr.
Brian Blades, professor of sur
gery at George Washington Medi
cal School.
The third is Dr. Ralph Phillips
of Memorial Hospital in New York
City.
Maj. Gen. Leonard D. Heaton,
commandant of Walter Reed Ar
my Medical Center, said they will
help outline the future course.
Heaton, who discovered the re
currence' of Dulles’ 1956 abdom
inal cancer when he operated on
him for hernia last Friday, re
peated what he said Saturday—
that.no further surgery is con
templated.

The basketball-sized satellite is
equipped to check'up and report
back on the earth’s cloud cover
and thus help spot storm clouds
or tornadoes.
The satellite, Vanguard 11, may
whirl through space for years
or even centuries. But the bat
teries for its weather eyes—a pair
of photoelectric cells—can operate
continuously for only two weeks.
And at first it may take two
weeks to process the informa
tion relayed back to earth
bound scientists by the 20-inch,
21 Vi pound globe.
Dr. Richard Porter, head of the
U.S. satellite panel for the Inter
national Geophysical Year, said
the launching is “the beginning
of a new era in weather research.”
President Eisenhower congratu
lated “all who participated in the
successful launching.”
Out in the reaches of space, the
new satellite is streaking along
with Russia’s huge Sputnik 111
and three American satellites. Its
two electronic eyes peer out 6f
its shiny shell. Other delicate in
struments are packed inside the
sphere.

$l7B Million
Tax Deficit
HARRISBURG (A 1 ) —Gov. Law
rence yesterday set the deficit fac
ing the Commonwealth at an all
time high of $l7B million—most
of it because of reduced tax col
lections due to the recession.
Lawrence told his news confer
ence that 119 million dollars of
the deficit estimated as of next
May 31 "legitimately could be
chargeable to the recession.”
The remainder of the deficit was
due to over-spending in the past
two years to the extent of 3 mil
lions for relief, 19% millions for
state employes’ retirement obliga
tions, 4% millions for teachers’ re
tirement obligations, 24% millions
for state aid for schools, 3% mil
lions for occupational disease ben
efits and 2 millions each for school
health examinations and social se
curity payments for state work
ers.
The governor explained that of
the $4OO million he would seek
to raise in new revenues only
about 222 millions would be avail
able for new and mandated ser
vices of the Commonwealth.
"You Can Get It At"
Menderes Injured
LONDON {#0 —Twelve persons
died yesterday in the crash of a
Turkish airliner bringing Turkish
Premier Adnan Menderes to Lon
don for Cyprus negotiations. The
Premier escaped with bruises.
The Turkish political leader
staggered dazed and bruised from
the wreckage, the Ministry of
Civil Aviation said.
The four-engine Viscount, owned
by the Turkish government, was
carrying only Turkish officials
and the crew—a total of 22.

THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME
It happens every day. A young man goes off to college leaving
his home-town sweetheart with vows of eternal love, and then
he finds that he has outgrown her. .What, in such case®, is the
honorable thing to do?
Well sir, you can do what Rock Sigafoos did.
When Rock left Cut and Shoot, Pa., he said to his sweetheart,
a simple country lass named 'less d’Urbervilles, "My dear,
though I am far away in college, I will love you always. I will
never look at another girl. If I do, may my eyeballs parch and
wither, may my viscera writhe like adders, may the moths get
my new tweed jacket!"
Then he clutched Teas to his bosom and planted a final kiss
upon her J: ut young skull id went'
ali
But on the very first day of college he met a coed named Fata
Morgana, a girl of such sophistication, such poise, such savoir
fairs as Rock had never beheld. .She spoke knowingly of Frani
Kafka, she hummed Mozart, she smoked Marlboros, the eiga*
rette with better "makin’s”. Now, Rock didn't know Franz
Kafka from Pinocchio, or Mozart from James K. Pols, but
Marlboros he knew full well. He knew that anyone who smoked
Marlboros was modern and advanced and as studded with
brains as a ham with cloves. Good sense tells you that you can’t
beat Marlboro’s new improved filter, and you never could beat
Marlboro’s fine flavor. This Rock knew.
So all day he followed Fata around campus and listened to
her talk about Franz Kafka, and then in the evening he went
back to the dormitory and found this letter from his home-town
sweetheart Tess:
Dear Rock,
Us kids had a keen lime yesterday. We went down to the
pond and caught some frogs. 1 caught the most of anybody.
Then we hitched rides on trucks and did lots of nutsy stuff
like that. Well, I must close now because I got to whitewash
the fence,
P. 5 .... 7 eon do my Hula Hoop S,OOO timet.
Well sir, Rock thought about Tess and then he thought about
Fata and then a great sadness fell upon him. Suddenly he knew
he had outgrown young, innocent Tess; his heart now belonged
to smart, sophisticated Fata.
Rock, being above all things honorable, returned forthwith
to his home town and walked up to Tess and looked her in the
eye and said manfully, “I do not love you any more. I love
a girl named Fata Morgana. You can hit me in the stomach with
all your might if you like.”
“That’s okay, hey,” said Tess amiably. “I don’t love you
neither. I found a new boy.”
“What is his name?” asked Rock.
“Franz Kafka,” said Tess.
“A splendid fellow,” said Rock and shook Tess’s hand and
they Have remained good friends to this day. In fact, Rock and
Fata often double-date with Franz and Tess and have heapa
of fun. Franz can do the Hula Hoop 6,000 times.
Alt’s welt that ends well—including Philip Monts. Philip
Morris ends well and begins well and is made of superb
natural tobaccos by the same people who make Marlboros»
approaches to Gatwick Airport
near Horsham in Surrey. The
plane had been diverted from the
London airport because of poor
visibility.
Mender es, 60. spent two hours
at a nearby farmhouse and then
was brought to the London clinic.
A clinic physician said, “There
is nothing seiiously wrong with
Mr. Menderes. All he wants is
rest and quiet.”
Taken to the hospital with Men
deres were Sefik Fenmen, his pri
vate secretary, and another Tur
kish official.
