Administrator Takes
Life's a "drag" for William Huff
nagle, but he couldn't be happier.
The 36-year-old administrative as
.sistant for the Department of Sociology
and Anthropology has adopted a rare
.hobby for a college administrator--
drag racing.
Almost every weekend of the past
,two summers, Huffnagle and his flashy,
:maroon "Dragon-Wagon" have become
a familiar sight at the top drag strips
between Washington, D.C., and his
hometown of Altoona.
Not only that, but he's become a
consistent class winner as well. At the
close of the Fall Term, for instance,
Huffnagle achieved the height of his
brief career, winning an invitation to
compete in the National Hot Rod As
. sociation's annual meet next month in
Tennessee.
He estimated that he has cap
•tured more than a dozen first-place
trophies since that summer day back
in 1966 when he won the first race he
,entered, at Petersen's Raceway in Al
toona.
That's quite a record for a fellow
who looks like a professional football
linebacker, counts painting and wood-

ages over 180 in bowling, and enjoys
hunting and fishing.
How did he get interested in drag
racing?
"Because of a boat, what else?" he
replied, with a hearty laugh. "I used
the car to tow a boat back and forth,
and I was ripping the guts out of the
motor. One day I took it into a gar
age. The guy there told me I had a
pretty good runner, and that I ought
to try it for drag-racing.
He kept talking, I kept listening,
and the first thing you know, there
I am drag racing."
Since then, Huffnagle, a 1959 grad
uate of the University now working
toward a master's degree in public ad
ministration, has appeared at tracks in
Hagerstown, Md., Frederick, Md., York,
Pa., Washington, D.C., Pittsburgh, Me
dia, Pa., and Altoona.
"It's something that really gets in
to your blood," he said. "I live from
weekend to weekend, from the middle
of May to October."
When not racing, Huffnagle usually
spends his time painting or creating
wood sculptures, using the outdoors

Missiles Fail
In Test Launch
WASHINGTON (1P) The superfast, short-range in
terceptor designed as a key component in the nation's
antiballistic missile defense has failed a number of times
in test launches, the Pentagon acknowledged yesterday.
But a defense statement depicted the problems affect
ing the conical, mile-per-second Sprint missile as "those
normally expected in any missile research and development
program."
The Pentagon said the difficulties—not detailed in any
way for security reasons—would not slow deployment of
antimissile batteries around the country to protect the na
tion against a light missile attack.
$5 Billion Defense
The $5-billion system is scheduled to be combat-ready
in five or six years.
A missile specialist in the program, called Sentinel,
told a reporter technical problems have been plaguing
Sprint in development work at the White Sands, N.M.,
range.
The engineer said the difficulties are in the missile
itself, rather than the system. He expressed doubt that the
Sprint ever would be a very effective rocket.
Responding to written questions, the Pentagon said
occasional failures were expected when the test program
was established, and added 'there have been more success
ful tests than failures."
Problems Ironed Out
Sprint's problems may have been ironed out late last
year in test firings at White Sands which are described by
the Pentagon as totally successful.
On Oct. 10 a 27-foot Sprint, powered by 'highly ad
vanced rapid-burning propellants, was launched into sharp
maneuvers and against high thermo effects in a flight
called its most strenuous at the point.
Three weeks later the anti-missile hit a computer
drawn target in the sky after a flight that included more
planned turns. The imaginary point represented the loca
tion of an incoming missile.
Unlike most rockets, Sprint is not launched from a pad
under its own power. First the missile is blown out of an
underground cell by gas and, once above the surface, ignites
its own fuel.

A Taste of Honey
HONEY-APRICOT SPREAD developed at the University,
wins wide approval, even with the cub, which belongs to
the Pennsylvania Wildlife Research Unit at the Univer
sity. Robert Berthold, Jr., developed the spread and gave
the bear a taste with the approval of Debbie Skell.
University Finds
New Uses
For Honey
Plain honey may be good enough for bees, but scientists
at the University have decided to add a little something
extra to it.
Their way of improving on nature involves incorpor
ating finely chopped fruits sundried apricots and freeze
dried strawberries are currently favored with honey. .
"These are the first new promising honey products to
come along in years," according to their developer, Robert
Berthold, Jr. (graduate-entomology- Totowa, N.J.). "We
hope they will give a shot-in-the-arm to the entire indus
try.
"Surveys have found that many potenial consumers
think honey lacks flavor variety or is too sweet. By adding
dried fruits, we get a tangy sweet-sour taste. When we
field tested several batches of the new spread, 80 per cent
of those who initially reported they didn't like honey,
liked it with apricots." _ _ _
Honey Is Messy
Working under Allen W. Benton, assistant professor of
entomology, Berthold used a very finely crystallized honey
for the basis of the spread. Since this honey is thicker than
the liquid variety, it does not run, eliminating the com
plaint that honey is messy.
Ease of water removal was a prime consideration in
the choice of fruit to be blended. If its moisture level is
raised above 18.6 per cent, the honey begins to ferment
and mold forms. ' -
Certain freeze-dried fruits, including apples, blue
berries and peaches, were eliminated because their flavor
was too mild. It was not economically feasible to use them
in quantities as large as they required to yield a honey
fruit flavor balance.
Having produced a successful spread under laboratory
conditions, the researchers tried out their formula on com
mercial equipment to be certain it could be made in large
batches. The verdict: It was as good or better than the
hand-produced jars.
"We're publishing our results this month in 'Food
Technology,' " Berthold reports, "so the process will be
come available to anyone interested in trying it. One honey
packer has already gone into production."
Berthold began the work last winter when the honey
bees, whose behavior he is observing for his doctor of phil
osophy research, became inactive due to cold weather. His
colleagues are sorry to see him complete it.
"Before our field trials began," he explains, "we used
all the secretaries in our building, as well as staff members
we could corner, as taste-testers. Honey and crackers were
a part of all the coffee breaks."

Israel Sends Jets
To Bomb Jordanian
Positions At Yardena
TEL AVIV, Israel (/P) Israel sent jet fighters over
Jordan yesterday to knock out Jordanian gun positions and
end a sharp artillery duel across the River Jordan, an army
spokesman announced here.
Jordan claimed—and Israel denied—that one plane
was downed by antiaircraft fire.
Israel said there was an exchange of fire late yester
day around the settlement of Yardena but that no one was
injured and there was no damage.
In New York, Israeli Ambassador Gideon Rafael said
he was sending a letter of complaint to the U.N. Security
Council. He said the incident showed that Jordan's hostile
attitude toward Israel has not changed.
The fighting erupted while Gunner Jarring, the U.N.
peace envoy, conferred with Jordanian officials in Amman
on a Middle East settlement.
Each side blamed the other for starting the fighting,
An Israeli communique said there were no Israeli cas
ualties.
A Jordanian army spokesman said four Israeli tanks
were destroyed in the 5 1 / 2 -hour land and air battle. It re.
ported eight Jordanians injured and claimed the Israelis
suffered heavy casualties.
It was the second use of planes by Israel since the June
war along the Jordan River cease-fire line.

Economist Schultze
Resigns Post
SAN ANTONIO (iF) President Johnson announced
last night the resignation of Budget Director Charles L.
Schultze his chief of staff in developing the financial
program of the government which runs to well over $lOO
billion a year.
To replace Schultze,- Johnson tapped Assistant Direc
tor Charles J. Zwick.
Schultze is the second top economic adviser to Presi
dent Johnson to resign within the past week.
Last week, Johnson announced the resignation of
Gardner Ackley, chairman of the Council of Economic
Advisers and named him ambassador to Italy.
Schultze plans to join the Brookings Institution, a pri
vate research group with headquarters in Washington, as
a senior fellow, a new post. Brookings is headed by Kermit
Gordon, whom Schultze succeeded as budget director.
The switch in the Budget Bureau post came at a time
when Johnson is attempting to complete the budget for
the 1969 fiscal year—a new look budget that may run
to more than $lBO billion.
Frequent Commuter
In the 10 days Johnson has been at his Texas ranch,
Schultze has been a frequent commuter—and he has agreed
to remain on until the job is finished on the new spending
program.
Schultze, besides going to the Brookings Institution, is
also rejoining the University of Maryland faculty for part
time teaching. An effective date for his resignation has not
been set.
The budget bureau director said in Washington he
talked about leaving office as early as last June but agreed
to stay on until the new budget is prepared.
