‘Biggest and Safest’
To Be Bonfire Cry
Bonfire week is only nine days
away and we are preparing to make
this year’s bonfire the best and
safest yet. Corps Supply Officer
Armon Hewitt said yesterday.
For the most part, bonfire safety
operations will be run the same as
last year, he said. Hewitt is head of
a five-man Bonfire Safety com
mittee which is responsible for all
safety procedures on bonfire work.
Again this year, unit supply ser
geants will act as safety sergeants
for the bonfire. These men will be
responsible for every worker’s
safety and their instructions should
be carried out as closely as possible,
Hewitt emphasized.
John Foster, Commanding Of
ficer of A Veterinary Company, and
Bill Childress will be in charge of

Bonfire suggestion boxes will be
placed in both cadet guard rooms
next week. Anyone who has any
suggestions on improving bonfire
safety should leave them in the
boxes.
Safety posters will be placed in
all dormitories and changed every
day during the week.
“Safety First will be the slogan
of the bonfire,” Hewitt said.
“Building will be important, but
certainly not worth the loss of life
or limb.”
Persons having access to trucks
of any kind and persons who can
drive trucks are needed to help
haul logs for the bonfire, ac

WASHING TON—:< A 5 )—A Defense
Department scientist said yester
day the United States fell four or
five years behind the Russians in
missile development but “we’re
very close to them now.”
“I think we’ll be ahead of them
in another year in all missile work
in general,” said Dr. Paul D.
Foote, assistant secretary of de
fense in charge of research and en
gineering.
Foote testified before the House
Post Office and Civil Service sub
committee.
Early in his testimony, Foote
said, “We’re four or five years
behind the Russians and it’s going
to be hard to catch up.”
But, a little later, Foote referred
back to this statement, and said,
“That’s not to say we’re four or
five years behind them now. We
are not very far behind the Rus
sians, we’re very close to them
now.”
At one point, Foote said the
Russians got into missile develop
ment in a major way in 1945, but
that the U.S. program did not get
going in earnest until 1952. This
was apparently what he had in
mind in speaking of being four ox-
five years behind the Russians.
