FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
U S. Will Launch
Beactin Satellite
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
—The Defense Department lifted a
secrecy lid . yesterday, announc
ing that it will attempt to launch
[a : flashing beacon satellite today
to help map the earth more pre
cisely.
/ Officials said the unusual move
was made to enable the world’s
scientific community to partici-
in the experiment. All for
eign. nations, including, the Soviet
Union, are invited to help observe
the- satellite’s' flashes and share
their measurements.
Thfe blinking lights will not be
triggered initially until trackers]
have had three days to make ex
act determination of the satel-!
lite's path. ;
THE ANNOUNCEMENT was a;
victory for a’ group of U.S. sci
entists who arguea before Con
gress last month that the Defense
Department should remove secur
ity wraps from the satellite pro-!
ject, named Anna, an acronym]
for Army, Navy, NASA and Air:
Force.
Defense planners said world-1
wide dissemination of Anna’s]
data might permit the Soviet]
Union to aim its missiles more
accurately at U.S. targets. It also
could help U.S. military strategists
more effectively' plot Soviet
targets. - - ’
Scientists like Dr. James Van
Allen of the University of lowa
and Dr. Fred Whipple, director
of the Smithsonian Astrophysical
iObservatory, said the precise lo-
Imore than they currently, do.
[Funds come from eight taxes im
posed by the separate boards. -
. The State College board levies
a property tax, a wage tax, a busi
ness privilege tax, a mercantile
tax, an occupational tax* an
amusement tax. a real estate
transfer tax and a per capita, or
head tax.
The per capita is a $l5 levy paid
annually by. all residents or in
ihabitants of the borough. :Paul;
Hoenstein, borough tax assessor,
prepares the list of persona liable
for the levy. 1

cation and distance to targets in;
America already is known with]
sufficient accuracy for the large
payloads of long-range missiles.
THEY CONTENDED that in
order to obtain maximum geodetic
[data from the satellite, observa
tions should be made from hun
dreds of stations in many coun
tries.
Presumably, information on
when Anna’s lights will be flashed
on ground command will be dis
tributed to foreign scientific
